兰州市街道尘埃粒度空间变化特征

采用Mastersizer2000激光粒度仪对2006年3月采集的兰州市街道尘埃进行了粒度分析。结果表明,兰州市街道尘埃中颗粒物平均粒径范围在46．83μm-266．59μm,平均值为118．73μm;其中〉2μm的颗粒占总量的92％-99．5％,〈2μm的颗粒占10％以下。受地形因素影响,兰州市西部和东部地区粒径较粗,中间地段粒径相对较细;进一步分析发现在风动能大的区域,尘埃主要以较粗物质为主;在风动能相对较弱区域,细颗粒和粗颗粒含量差别不大,而在风动能小的区域,街道尘埃主要以细颗粒物为主。由此可见,兰州市街道尘埃中的颗粒物的主要来源是由于风力和人为活动产生的土壤尘和人为排放的污染物所共同贡献的;粒度分布特征受到风动力条件和物源（污染源）两方面因素的控制。     

贵阳市中心城区大气颗粒物特征分析

依据实际监测数据,分析了贵阳市城区冬夏两季颗粒物（以PM10为主）的质量浓度分布特征、粒径分布特征和化学组成特征。由于冬季燃煤排放烟尘量多,近地面大气稳定度高,细微颗粒不易向高空扩散,因此贵阳市冬季各个监测点的PM10浓度都较夏季高;夏季较冬季空气扩散能力强,颗粒物易向高空扩散,地面颗粒物浓度较低,尤其是细颗粒物的浓度,因此冬季细颗粒物的比例明显增加;监测期间颗粒物的主要化学组分是TC、SO4^2-、Si、NO3^-、Al和Ca,除太慈桥点外,其它4个点的多环芳烃质量含量均是冬季大于夏季,环科院冬夏季和监测站夏季都是细颗粒物中的多环芳烃质量含量要高于粗颗粒物的,监测站冬季是粗颗粒物中的多环芳烃质量含量要高于细颗粒物的。     

Cadaver decomposition in terrestrial ecosystems

A dead mammal (i.e. cadaver) is a high quality resource (narrow carbon:nitrogen ratio, high water content) that releases an intense, localised pulse of carbon and nutrients into the soil upon decomposition. Despite the fact that as much as 5,000 kg of cadaver can be introduced to a square kilometre of terrestrial ecosystem each year, cadaver decomposition remains a neglected microsere. Here we review the processes associated with the introduction of cadaver-derived carbon and nutrients into soil from forensic and ecological settings to show that cadaver decomposition can have a greater, albeit localised, effect on belowground ecology than plant and faecal resources. Cadaveric materials are rapidly introduced to belowground floral and faunal communities, which results in the formation of a highly concentrated island of fertility, or cadaver decomposition island (CDI). CDIs are associated with increased soil microbial biomass, microbial activity (C mineralisation) and nematode abundance. Each CDI is an ephemeral natural disturbance that, in addition to releasing energy and nutrients to the wider ecosystem, acts as a hub by receiving these materials in the form of dead insects, exuvia and puparia, faecal matter (from scavengers, grazers and predators) and feathers (from avian scavengers and predators). As such, CDIs contribute to landscape heterogeneity. Furthermore, CDIs are a specialised habitat for a number of flies, beetles and pioneer vegetation, which enhances biodiversity in terrestrial ecosystems.     

黄浦江上游地区水环境污染负荷特征

通过调查黄浦江上游地区的水环境污染来源、污染负荷及其特征，为管理部门控制污染、提高上游地区水环境质量提供科学依据。调查中了解到污染源种类主要有4类：工业、事业、生活和畜禽污染源；水源保护区内年用水量为22196万t．污水量为17755万t／a，其中工业污染源352个，排放量占46．3％，事业污染源4108个。排放量占22．3％，生活污水排放量占30．6％．畜禽污水排放量占0．8％；黄浦江上游水源保护区污染源排放去向主要分4种：直排河道（占40．4％），进入市政泵站后排出（占3．9％）。经污水处理厂处理后排出（占20．5％），通过合流污水收集系统排出（占35．3％）。根据黄浦江上游地区水环境污染负荷特征，建议黄浦江上游区域进一步调整和完善不同区域的功能定位，优化产业结构和布局，构建利于水源保护的区域发展模式和格局；通过采取污染控制和生态环境建设并重的一系列措施，有效抑制生态环境恶化趋势，促进黄浦江上游上游水环境质量的改善。确保上海市的饮用水安全。
