三峡库区小流域土地利用结构变化及其氮素输出控制效应:以兰陵溪小流域为例

基于三峡库区兰陵溪小流域退耕还林后土地利用结构变化分析,结合2015年汛期流域氮素养分输出监测数据,利用逐步回归定量分析土地利用结构特征对氮素输出的控制效应.结果表明:1退耕还林工程小流域土地利用结构发生改变,林地、园地面积比例分别增加到76.85%和13.87%,园地多以茶园单一类型片状分布,耕地面积比例锐减至1.16%,且零星分布于林地、园地之间.2小流域部分监测点总氮浓度超过国家Ⅴ类地表水水质标准,各监测点铵态氮(NH_4~+-N)、硝态氮(NO_3~--N)和总氮(TN)输出浓度分别为0.089~0.214 mg·L~(-1)、2.925~13.203 mg·L~(-1)以及3.561~14.572 mg·L~(-1),硝态氮输出浓度占总氮比例超过80%.3集水区氮素输出浓度与园地和住宅用地极显著正相关,与林地、未利用地则成极显著负相关,住宅用地和园地类型是主要的氮素输出源.4小流域土地利用结构调整应优先增加林地,适当控制园地发展,且将住宅用地面积比例控制在5%以下,并通过林茶、林果间作等方式改变小流域部分园地单一类型片状分布格局.     

游客低碳旅游认知、意愿和行为特征分析——以厦门鼓浪屿为例

以厦门鼓浪屿游客为调查对象,收集游客的人口学特征、低碳旅游认知、意愿和行为特征等相关信息,利用调查得到的数据进行描述性统计分析结果表明:游客低碳旅游认知不够深入,相关概念存在认知差异,年龄、收。入、受教育程度、职业类别对游客的低碳旅游认知具有不同程度的影响;游客对于举手之劳的、不需耗费财力或可以获益的、无需太多精力的低碳项目的参与意愿程度比较高,而对于比较繁琐、需要耗费财力精力、影响自己便利性、关系到自身洁净等低碳项目的参与意愿程度比较低,受教育程度、收入对游客的低碳旅游意愿有明显影响;游客低碳旅游行为效果较低,因为游客更多考虑自身支付能力、舒适和方便等因素。最后,从政府、旅游社区、旅游企业、旅游者4个体系给出了落实低碳旅游发展的相关建议。     

三峡库区次级河流营养状态及营养盐输出影响

通过对三峡库区15条次级河流TP、TN、Chla、高锰酸盐指数、SD和浮游植物的测定,分析了次级河流的营养状态及营养盐输出状况.结果表明,次级河流TN、TP、高锰酸盐指数、Chla含量和SD差异较大,SD范围为0.45～1.5 m,TN含量范围为0.65～4.27 mg·L^-1,TP含量范围为0.011～0.432mg·L^-1,高锰酸盐指数范围为0.657～5.37mg·L^-1,Chla值范围为0.57～12.2mg·m^-3.次级河流受到不同程度污染,水体中N含量丰富,部分次级河流富营养化的限制因子为P.利用综合营养状态指数法评价了次级河流富营养化程度,结果表明3条达到轻度富营养化,2条为贫营养,10条河流为中营养.次级河流藻类7门67属129种,种类数以硅藻、绿藻和蓝藻最多.浮游植物的群落类型以硅-绿藻型、硅-蓝藻型和蓝-绿藻型为主,种类和数量随水域不同而呈现差异,水体营养特征为浮游植物响应型.15条次级河流年排放TN、TP和高锰酸盐指数分别为3.14×１０⁵ t、1.76×１０⁴ t和2.74×１０⁵ t.三峡水库完工后,由于次级河流河口区水体流速减缓,富营养化趋势可能加重.     

北京地区近300年降水变化的小波分析

利用北京地区1724-2009年降水资料,首先做了趋势分析和突变检验,之后采用Morlet小波函数,对该地区近300 a来降水的年际变化时间序列进行了小波分析,揭示了该区降水变化的多时间尺度的周期性变化规律,并根据主周期对未来降水变化进行了预测。结果表明,北京地区年降水量有缓慢增大的趋势,但并不显著。1744、1809、1894和1996年为该系列降雨量减少突变点,1777、1870和1948年为降雨量增多突变点。同时北京地区年降水量在其计算时域内各时间尺度分布不均匀,具有明显的局部化特征;年降水存在85~95 a左右时间尺度的周期特征;其次,35~40 a和20~25 a左右时间尺度的周期特征也较明显。降水量在不同时间尺度下偏多、偏少交替变化也各不相同。此外,分析结果显示该地区年降水量具有21 a、35 a和85 a左右的主周期,其中85 a周期为第一主周期;根据年降水的主周期推测,北京地区整个时间序列上的年降水量呈现出偏少-偏多-偏少-偏多-偏少-偏多-偏少的循环交替特征,根据其周期特征,可以推测2009年到2030年左右将一直处于少降水期。     

Tsunami Survey Expedition: Preliminary Investigation of Maldivian Coral Reefs Two Weeks After the Event

On December 26th 2004, a earthquake west of Sumatra generated a devastating tsunami. Hundreds of thousands of people fell victim. Economic losses were greatest in those countries dependant on tourism. The impact in the Maldives on persons and things was modest. Immediately following the event and notwithstanding the lack of scientific data, the mass media gave catastrophic reports on the state of coral reefs in the area. This paper reports on the first survey on coral reefs in the Maldives after the Tsunami. Ocean walls, passes, inner reefs, and shoals in the North and South Malé atolls, were surveyed two weeks after the event. Significant damage was recorded in the passes in the South Malé atoll. Our observations showed that the damage was more or less extensive depending on latitude and topography. Sri Lanka may have broken the wave’s rush, reducing the extent of the impact on northern atolls. The water’s acceleration inside the passes was so intense as to cause reef collapses. The observed damage represents a minimum fraction of the entire coral reef system. Tourist perception of the area seems unchanged. These data may be used to disseminate correct information about the state of Maldives coral reefs, which would be useful in relaunching local economy.     

Characterizing Small Subbasins: A Case Study from Coastal Oregon

A fine-grained statisticaly robust probability sample of stream segments is used to compare two small (20,000 hectare) subbasins of the Tillamook watershed, north coastal Oregon. The two subbasins are matched with respect to several variables [size coastal climates], but vary in terms of geology and consequently land use. A total of 67 wadeable + non-wadeable sizes were identified for sampling in the two subbasins (combined) over two field seasons from a sampling universe consisting of the River Reach File 3 (blue lines on 1:100,000 maps). Target variables include an extensive array of physical habitat endpoints, selected water chemistry endpoints, species composition, and relative abundance of both benthic macroinvertebrates and fish. Field protocols generally followed those of the U.S. EPA's Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Program (EMAP).Eleven fish species were encountered, a typically low number for coastal Oregon streams. Exploratory analysis using nonmetric multidimensional scaling revealed that 92.4% of the variation in the fish assemblages could be explained with two ordination axes. Environmental factors related to stream size and substate were the most correlated to these axes. Further, stream segments for the two subbasins tended to map in different areas of species space. Therefore, we also give unweighted probability distributions for several of the factors that heavily on these two axes by subbasins, as well as probability distributions for chemical endpoints. Results from the subset of sites sampled during the first year (21 wadeable sites) reveal: 1) differences between samples from the two subbasins relates to dream size and substrate composition that are consistent with known differences in geology and land use, 2) unexpectedly minor differences between samples from the two subbasins for stream temperature, canopy cover, and dissolved oxygen, 3) differences between samples from the two subbasins for total P, and total N, possibly related to land use, and 4) unexpected differences in samples from the two subbasins for conductivity, probably related to geological factors. Sample size for each subbasin is low and therefore our samples cannot be taken to necessarily characterize either subbasin. However, our findings are consistent with a comprehensive assessment that had been previously produced for one of the two subbasins.All field work was completed in 8 weeks 3-person field crew. We conclude that rapid assessment protocols, based on probability samples at this level of resolution, can be a cost-effective approach to watershed analysis. This approach should be seen as a complement to, rather than a replacement for, systematic surveys that produced finer scale, reach specific information on factors such as channel complexity and cover relevant to in-stream restoration planning.     

Prediction of germination rates of weed species: Relationships between germination speed parameters and species traits

In fields, the timing of weed emergence flushes is mostly related to the timing and rate of seed germination, which depend on seed dormancy level, soil temperature and water potential conditions as well as soil tillage and crop sowing date. Seed germination parameters are essential in weed dynamics models to account for the effects of soil conditions on weed demography. Since these parameters are difficult to measure, our objective was to test the possibility of estimating them from easily accessible information. Seed germination parameters (germination lag-time, time to mid-germination and mid-germination rate) were measured or collected from the literature for 25 weed species with contrasted seed characteristics. Correlations were then searched for between these parameters and morphological, chemical and physiological seed traits as well as seed dormancy level. The dormancy level was positively correlated with speed of germination parameters. Earliness of germination was positively correlated with seed lipid content and the seed area to mass ratio. Germination was also earlier and faster in species with a high base temperature for germination. These relationships explained about half the observed variability in germination speed parameters but should be further tested before being used to predict the germination behaviour of weed species in the field in different seasons.

Rapid Assessment of Risks to a Mobile Marine Mammal in an Ecosystem-Scale Marine Protected Area

Abstract:  Ecosystem-scale networks of marine protected areas (MPAs) are important conservation tools, but their effectiveness is difficult to quantify in a time frame appropriate to species conservation because of uncertainties in the data available. The dugong ( Dugong dugon ) is a mobile marine species that occurs in shallow inshore waters of an ecosystem-scale network of MPAs (the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area [GBRWHA]). We developed a rapid approach to assess risk to dugongs in the region and evaluate options to ameliorate that risk. We used expert opinion and a Delphi technique to identify and rank 5 human factors with the potential to adversely affect dugongs and their sea grass habitats: netting, indigenous hunting, trawling, vessel traffic, and poor-quality terrestrial runoff. We then quantified and compared the distribution of these factors with a spatially explicit model of dugong distribution. We estimated that approximately 96% of habitat of high conservation value for dugongs in the GBRWHA is at low risk from human activities. Using a sensitivity analysis, we found that to decrease risk, commercial netting or indigenous hunting had to be reduced in remote areas and the effects of vessel traffic, terrestrial runoff, and commercial netting had to be reduced in urban areas. This approach enabled us to compare and rank risks so as to identify the most severe risks and locate specific sites that require further management attention.
