Effects of field-applied composted cattle manure and chemical fertilizer on ammonia and particulate ammonium exchanges at an upland field

The present study aimed to investigate the NH₃ volatilization loss from field-applied compost and chemical fertilizer and evaluate the atmosphere–land exchange of NH₃ and particulate NH₄⁺ (pNH₄) at an upland field with volcanic ash soil (Andosol) in Hokkaido, northern Japan. Two-step basal fertilization was conducted on the bare soil surface. First, a moderately fermented compost of cattle manure was applied by surface incorporation (mixing depth, 0–15 cm) at a rate of 117 kg N ha⁻¹ as total nitrogen (T-N) corresponding to 9.9 kg N ha⁻¹ as ammoniacal nitrogen (NH₄–N). Twelve days later, a chemical fertilizer containing 10% (w/w) of NH₄–N as a mixture of ammonium sulfate and ammonium phosphates was applied by row placement (cover depth, 3 cm) at a rate of 100 kg N ha⁻¹ as NH₄–N. The study period was divided into the first-half, beginning after the compost application (CCM period), and the second-half, beginning after the chemical fertilizer application (CF period). The mean air concentrations of NH₃ and pNH₄ (1.5 m height) were 7.6 and 3.0 μg N m⁻³, respectively, in the CCM period; the values were 3.7 and 3.9 μg N m⁻³, respectively, in the CF period. The composition ratios of NH₃ to the sum of NH₃ and pNH₄ (1.5 m height) were 72% and 49% in the CCM and CF periods, respectively. The NH₃ volatilization loss from the compost was 0.8% of the applied T-N (or 9.3% of the applied NH₄–N) and that from the chemical fertilizer was near zero. Excluding the period immediately after the compost application, the upland field acted as a net sink for NH₃ and pNH₄.     

Heavy metal pollution status in surface sediments of Swan Lake lagoon and Rongcheng Bay in the northern Yellow Sea

The national ‘Shandong Peninsula Blue Economic Zone Development Plan’ compels the further understanding of the distribution and potential risk of metals pollution in the east coast of China, where the rapid economic and urban development have been taken off and metal pollution has become a noticeable problem. Surface sediments collected from the largest swan habitat in Asia, the Swan Lake lagoon and the surrounding coastal area in Rongcheng Bay in northern Yellow Sea, were analyzed for the total metal concentrations and chemical phase partitioning of five heavy metals (Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd, and Cr). Metal contents in the studied region have increased significantly in the past decade. The speciation analyzed by the sequential extraction showed that Zn and Cr were present dominantly in the residual fraction and thus of low bioavailability, while Cd, Pb and Cu were found mostly in the non-residual fraction thus of high potential availability, indicating significant anthropogenic sources. Among the five metals, Cd is the most outstanding pollutant and presents high risk, and half of the surface sediments in the studied region had a 21% probability of toxicity based on the mean Effect Range-Median Quotient. At some stations with comparable total metal contents, remarkably different non-residual fraction portions were determined, pointing out that site-specific risk assessment integrating speciation is crucial for better management practices of coastal sediments.

The impact of production type and region on polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB), polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin and dibenzofuran (PCDD/F) concentrations in Canadian chicken egg yolks

Chicken eggs from five different production types (conventional, omega-3 enriched, free range, organic and free run) were collected, when available, from three regions (west, central and east) of Canada to determine persistent organic pollutant (POP) concentrations. Total polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) concentrations (∑37 congeners) in yolks from the eggs ranged from 0.162 ng g⁻¹ lipid to 24.8 ng g⁻¹ lipid (median 1.25 ng g⁻¹ lipid) while the concentration of the sum of the 6 indicator PCBs ranged from 0.100 ng g⁻¹ lipid to 9.33 ng g⁻¹ lipid (median 0.495 ng g⁻¹ lipid). Total polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin/dibenzofuran (PCDD/F) concentrations ranged from 2.37 pg g⁻¹ lipid to 382 pg g⁻¹ lipid (median 9.53 pg g⁻¹ lipid). The 2005 WHO toxic equivalency (TEQ) ranged from 0.089 pg TEQ_{PCDD/F+dioxin-like[DL]-PCB} g⁻¹ lipid to 12.8 pg TEQ_{PCDD/F+DL-PCB} g⁻¹ lipid (median 0.342 pg TEQ_{PCDD/F+DL-PCB} g⁻¹ lipid). PCB and PCDD/F concentrations were significantly different (p < 0.001) in egg yolks from different regions of collection. In contrast to observations in Europe, PCB and PCDD/F concentrations in Canadian egg yolks were not impacted solely by the production type (e.g., conventional, free range, organic, etc.) used to maintain the laying chickens. Additionally, only one Canadian free range yolk from western Canada (12.8 pg TEQ_{PCDD/F+DL-PCB} g⁻¹ lipid) exceeded the European toxic equivalent concentration limits for eggs (5 pg TEQ_{PCDD/F+DL-PCB} g⁻¹ lipid). This differs from observations in Europe where free range/home produced eggs frequently have higher POP concentrations than eggs from other production types. Median PCB dietary intake estimates based on consumption of eggs were less than 10 ng d⁻¹ while median PCDD/F intakes were less than 45 pg d⁻¹.     

Dust storm frequency and its relation to climate changes in Northern China during the past 1000 years

Dust storm events and their relation to climate changes in Northern China during the past 1000 years were analyzed by using different paleoclimate archives such as ice cores, tree rings, and historical documents. The results show that in the semiarid region, the temperature and precipitation series were significantly negatively correlated to the dust storm frequency on a decadal timescale. Compared with temperature changes, however, there was a closer correlation between precipitation changes and dust storm events on a centennial timescale. At this timescale, precipitation accounts for 40% of the variance of dust fall variations during the last 1700 years, inferring precipitation control on the formation of dust storms. In the western arid region, both temperature and precipitation changes are important forcing factors for the occurrence of dust storms in the region on a centennial timescale. In the eastern arid region, the relationship between dust storm events and climate changes are similar like in the semiarid region. As a result, the effects of climate change on dust storm events were manifested on decadal and centennial timescales during the last millennium. However, there is a phase shift in the relation between climate change and the dust storm frequency. A 1400 years reconstruction of the strength of the Siberian High reveals that long-term variations of spring Siberian High intensity might provide a background for the dynamic conditions for the frequency of historical dust storm events in Northern China.     

Economic Incentives to Conserve Wildlife on Private Lands: Analysis and Policy

Some believe that provision of private property rights in wildlife on private land provides a powerful economic incentive for nature conservation because it enables property owners to market such wildlife or its attributes. If such marketing is profitable, private landholders will conserve the wildlife concerned and its required habitat. But land is not always most profitably used for exploitation of wildlife, and many economic values of wildlife (such as non-use economic values) cannot be marketed. The mobility of some wildlife adds to the limitations of the private-property approach. While some species may be conserved by this approach, it is suboptimal as a single policy approach to nature conservation. Nevertheless, it is being experimented with, in the Northern Territory of Australia where landholders had a possibility of harvesting on their properties a quota of eggs and chicks of red-tailed black cockatoos for commercial sale. This scheme was expected to provide an incentive to private landholders to retain hollow trees essential for the nesting of these birds but failed. This case and others are analysed. Despite private-property failures, the long-term survival of some wildlife species depends on their ability to use private lands without severe harassment, either for their migration or to supplement their available resources, for example, the Asian elephant. Nature conservation on private land is often a useful, if not essential, supplement to conservation on public lands. Community and public incentives for such conservation are outlined.     

藏北高原草地资源合理利用

藏北高原面积60万km₂,海拔4400m以上 ,气候寒冷干旱 ,是青藏高原内生态环境最酷劣的自然地域 ,大部分为无人区。境内55 %的土地为可利用的草地 ,是西藏最大的牧区 ,其绝大部分是由紫花针茅(Stipapurpurea)及青藏苔草(Carexmoorcroftii)等组成的高寒草原与高寒荒漠草原 ,虽然紫花针茅草原是当地藏绵羊的较适宜生态地域 ,但其鲜草产量不足800kg/hm₂,仅在6～9月能利用 ,加上草地土壤富含砂砾 ,抗侵蚀能力弱 ,所以草地生态较脆弱。目前已有1/3的草地受沙化和侵蚀的威协 ,4 %的草地处于过牧退化状况。所以保护草地 ,维持其生态稳定乃是开发藏北高原草地资源的重要原则 ,故对高寒荒漠草原与已沙化的高寒草原须禁牧 ;大部分高寒草原的放牧强度须控制和适度 ,以求永续地利用和获得良好的经济-生态效益。     

基于GWR模型的天山北坡经济带PM2.5浓度反演及时空特征分析

构建PM_(2.5)浓度与相关因子的关系模型已成为获取干旱区经济带连续变化PM_(2.5)浓度数据的有效手段之一。本文以天山北坡经济带为研究对象,基于PM_(2.5)浓度监测数据、中分辨率成像光谱仪(moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer,MODIS)的气溶胶光学厚度数据(aerosol optical depth,AOD)和气象数据,利用地理加权回归模型(geographically weighted regression,GWR)反演了研究区2018年3～11月PM_(2.5)浓度,进而分析其时空变化特征。结果表明:(1)相比多元回归模型(multiple linear regression,MLR),GWR模型在天山北坡经济带的PM_(2.5)浓度反演效果更优,决定系数R2、平均绝对误差MAE和均方根误差RMSE分别为0.897、4.569μg/m~3和5.627μg/m~3,明显优于MLR模型的0.819、5.825μg/m~3和7.731μg/m~3;(2)天山北坡经济带PM_(2.5)浓度在月尺度上呈"凹字型"变化特征,其中11月最高,达到59.50μg/m~3,3月和10月次之,9月最低,仅为17.92μg/m~3;在季节尺度上表现出秋季(9～11月)春季(3～5月)夏季(6～8月)的变化特征,其中春季呈波动下降趋势,夏季总体维持在较低水平,秋季呈急剧上升趋势;(3)在空间分布上,研究区PM_(2.5)浓度呈现出"东高西低"的特征,峰值出现在乌鲁木齐附近,说明经济带东部地区PM_(2.5)污染相对严重,尤其是乌鲁木齐。
