南方丘陵山地农户对生态系统服务的感知及其影响因素——以湖南省慈利县为例

生态系统服务是保障乡村生态安全、环境健康以及经济可持续发展的重要基础,农户作为乡村地域生态系统与乡村经济发展的重要关联主体,其生产生活以及对生态系统服务的认知与感知变化对维护生态系统功能具有重要影响。以南方丘陵山地重点生态功能区——湖南省慈利县6个不同发展类型的农村社区为研究对象,基于农户访谈与入户调查,探究了2008—2018年农户对各类生态系统服务的多样性感知变化,采用多元线性回归方法构建农户对生态系统服务多样化感知指数模型,分析其影响因素,在此基础上提出两者协同发展的建议策略。结果表明：（1）农户对各类生态系统服务感知变化以及不同区域之间的感知均呈现差异性,农业生产主导区感知强于生态保护核心区和生态经济发展区;（2）农户对林地、农田、园地、湿地生态系统服务的多样性感知以及属性感知依次减弱;（3）自然环境、资源禀赋、个体特征等是影响农户生态系统服务属性感知的重要因素。研究结果以期为维护区域生态系统服务,提升农户福祉推进生态服务提升及乡村协同发展提供参考。     

Antarctic krill fishery effects over penguin populations under adverse climate conditions: Implications for the management of fishing practices

Fast climate changes in the western Antarctic Peninsula are reducing krill density, which along with increased fishing activities in recent decades, may have had synergistic effects on penguin populations. We tested that assumption by crossing data on fishing activities and Southern Annular Mode (an indicator of climate change in Antarctica) with penguin population data. Increases in fishing catch during the non-breeding period were likely to result in impacts on both chinstrap (Pygoscelis antarcticus) and gentoo (P. papua) populations. Catches and climate change together elevated the probability of negative population growth rates: very high fishing catch on years with warm winters and low sea ice (associated with negative Southern Annular Mode values) implied a decrease in population size in the following year. The current management of krill fishery in the Southern Ocean takes into account an arbitrary and fixed catch limit that does not reflect the variability of the krill population under effects of climate change, therefore affecting penguin populations when the environmental conditions were not favorable.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1007/s13280-020-01386-w) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.     

Characterization of particle number size distribution and new particle formation in Southern China

Knowledge of particle number size distribution(PND) and new particle formation(NPF)events in Southern China is essential for mitigation strategies related to submicron particles and their effects on regional air quality,haze,and human health.In this study,seven field measurement campaigns were conducted from December 2013 to May 2015 using a scanning mobility particle sizer(SMPS) at four sites in Southern China,including three urban sites and one background site.Particles were measured in the size range of15-515 nm,and the median particle number concentrations(PNCs) were found to vary in the range of 0.3× 10~4-2.2 × 10~4 cn~(-3) at the urban sites and were approximately 0.2 × 10~4 cm~(-3) at the background site.The peak diameters at the different sites varied largely from 22 to 102 nm.The PNCs in the Aitken mode(25-100 nm) at the urban sites were up to 10 times higher than they were at the background site,indicating large primary emissions from traffic at the urban sites.The diurnal variations of PNCs were significantly influenced by both rush hour traffic at the urban sites and NPF events.The frequencies of NPF events at the different sites were0%-30%,with the highest frequency occurring at an urban site during autumn.With higher SO_2 concentrations and higher ambient temperatures being necessary,NPF at the urban site was found to be more influenced by atmospheric oxidizing capability,while NPF at the background site was limited by the condensation sink.This study provides a unique dataset of particle number and size information in various environments in Southern China,which can help understand the sources,formation,and the climate forcing of aerosols in this quickly developing region,as well as help constrain and validate NPF modeling.     

Alkaline phosphatase activity in the phosphorus-limited southern Chinese coastal waters

Three fractions of alkaline phosphatase activity(APA), including phytoplankton APA(phyto-APA), bacterial APA(bact-APA), and free-APA, were examined in the sea surface microlayer(SML) and the subsurface water(SSW) from Daya Bay, Guishan Island, and Guanghai Bay of southern China. Relationships between APA and environmental parameters were analyzed. The growth of phytoplankton was significantly limited by dissolved inorganic phosphorus(DIP) in the three sea areas, especially in Daya Bay. TotalAPA ranged between 1.41 and 35.26 nmol/L/hr, and the highest value was found in Daya Bay. The increased APA in Daya Bay was the result of the increase of phytoplankton biomass and the response of phytoplankton to P limitation. Phyto-APA was the main contributor in Daya Bay, while phyto-and free-APA co-dominated in Guishan Island and Guanghai Bay. Bact-, phyto-, and total-APA showed a significant inverse power function relationship with DIP, and 0.2 μmol/L was the threshold for DIP on particulates and totalAPA. Pearson correlation analysis suggested that DIP limitation together with high N levels enhanced APA. High water temperature and freshwater input accelerated APA as well.Principal component analysis clearly separated samples from the three sea areas, as well as from the SML and the SSW, which indicated the differences in environmental parameters and APA levels. Our results highlight the influence of phosphorus limitation and environmental parameters on APA.     

东苕溪蓝藻时空分布及其与环境因子关系研究

研究了东苕溪(太湖主要入湖河流)秋季和春季浮游植物的空间分布格局,监测了东苕溪18个采样点的浮游植物叶绿素a含量、细胞密度及种类组成等指标,分析了影响蓝藻时空分布差异的环境因子.结果表明:调查期间,共观察到浮游植物8门60属132种,其中,蓝藻门9属14种,蓝藻细胞密度占浮游植物细胞密度的平均比例为60.3%,蓝藻细胞密度自东苕溪下游至上游呈减小趋势,最高值出现在东苕溪下游距南太湖湖口3km以内.在秋季,东苕溪下游以铜绿微囊藻(Microcystis aeruginosa)为优势种,春季为水华鱼腥藻(Anabaena flos-aquae);丝状蓝藻(小席藻)是上游的优势代表种.东苕溪下游蓝藻的绝对优势与特殊的水动力条件、高浓度的营养盐有关.相关性分析表明,蓝藻细胞密度与水深(p<0.01)、总氮(p<0.01)和溶解性总碳(p<0.05)呈显著正相关.

新冠肺炎疫情期间冀南地区空气质量时空变化特征

为研究新冠肺炎疫情期间冀南地区空气质量变化规律,明确防疫管控措施对空气质量的具体影响及大气污染物排放特征,笔者综合分析了研究区域的常规监测数据和部分大气超级站的PM_2.5组分数据。结果表明:疫情防控重点区域石家庄市、邢台市空气质量整体好转,细颗粒物和一次排放气态污染物浓度下降明显,PM_2.5来源中燃煤、生物质燃烧源占比上升,机动车尾气源占比下降,体现出交通管制、企业限产和道路工地扬尘管理等环保措施的有效性。疫情防控高风险区域石家庄市藁城区出现了明显的NO₂浓度降低、PM_2.5污染好转现象,而O₃浓度显著升高成为新的特征污染物。结果显示,藁城区综合防疫管控举措对本地一次排放污染物起到了明显抑制作用。疫情防控核心区域藁城区增村镇因实行最严格的封村、限行、停产等措施,人为污染源排放"触底",6项监测指标中除O₃浓度同比、环比均大幅度升高外,其他污染物浓度全时段降低,SO₂和CO昼夜差距缩小,环境质量明显优于周边乡镇。分析认为大规模持续化学消杀可能对O₃浓度升高有影响,此问题需要进一步探讨。
