天山地表水重金属的赋存特征和来源分析

2011年8月1日~15日,在天山山地以约50km的间距取51个水样品,并对代表性Pb、Ni、Cd、Co、Hg、As、Cu、Mn、Zn、Cr 10种重金属元素进行测试.然后运用相关分析、主成分分析和聚类分析等方法对这些重金属的赋存特征与来源做了探讨,结果表明:10种重金属变化范围为0~91.876μg/L.在所有水样中10种重金属元素平均浓度顺序为:Ni>As>Cu>Zn>Co>Mn>Hg>Cd>Pb;不同类型样品中重金属赋存特征为:灌溉渠道>河流支流>河流干流>湖泊>机井.相关分析结果显示,Cu、Mn、Hg、Zn、Ni和其他元素相关性较强.主成分分析表明,样品中重金属指标第1主成分Cu、Ni、Cr、Cd、As、Co和Cr来源于河流底部母岩矿物的风化及沿岸陆源碎屑矿物的自然风化侵蚀作用,第2主成分Mn、Hg、Zn、Pb来源于城镇附近的污染工厂及道路附近含铅污染物,第3主成分Hg、Pb、Cr主要来源于工农业排污.聚类分析表明:样品中重金元属可归为4类,其中Co、Ni、Cr为一类,Cd、Cu、As为一类,Pb、Zn、Mn为一类,Hg单独为一类.单一来源如,锌、铜矿开采、河流底母岩重金属迁移等因素对样品中重金属浓度影响较大.

Sexual selection in a socially monogamous bird: male color predicts paternity success in the mountain bluebird, <Emphasis Type="Italic">Sialia currucoides</Emphasis>

Ornamental traits are thought to evolve because they give individuals an advantage in securing multiple mates. Thus, the presence of ornamentation among males in many monogamous bird species presents something of a conundrum. Under certain conditions, extra-pair paternity can increase the variance in reproductive success among males, thus increasing the potential for sexual selection to act. We addressed this possibility in the mountain bluebird (Sialia currucoides), a socially monogamous songbird in which males possess brilliant ultraviolet (UV)-blue plumage. Specifically, we asked whether a male’s success at siring offspring within his own nest and within the nests of other males was related to his coloration. In pairwise comparisons, males that sired extra-pair offspring were not more colorful than the males that they cuckolded. However, males that sired at least one extra-pair offspring were, on average, brighter and more UV-blue than males that did not sire extra-pair offspring. Brighter, more UV-blue males sired more offspring both with their own mate and tended to sire more offspring with extra-pair mates and thus sired more offspring overall. Our results support the hypothesis that the brilliant UV-blue ornamental plumage of male mountain bluebirds evolved at least in part because it provides males with an advantage in fertilizing the eggs of multiple females.     

Potentials and limitations of using large-scale forest inventory data for evaluating forest succession models

Forest gap models have been applied widely to examine forest development under natural conditions and to investigate the effect of climate change on forest succession. Due to the complexity and parameter requirements of such models a rigorous evaluation is required to build confidence in the simulation results. However, appropriate data for model assessment are scarce at the large spatial and temporal scales of successional dynamics. In this study, we explore a data source for the evaluation of forest gap models that has been used only little in the past, i.e., large-scale National Forest Inventory data. The key objectives of this study were (a) to examine the potentials and limitations of using large-scale forest inventory data for evaluating the performance of forest gap models and (b) to test two particular models as case studies to derive recommendations for their future improvement.     

Uncertainty analysis of transient population dynamics

Two types of demographic analyses, perturbation analysis and uncertainty analysis, can be conducted to gain insights about matrix population models and guide population management. Perturbation analysis studies how the perturbation of demographic parameters (survival, growth, and reproduction parameters) may affect the population projection, while uncertainty analysis evaluates how much uncertainty there is in population dynamic predictions and where the uncertainty comes from. Previously, both perturbation analysis and uncertainty analysis were conducted on the long-term population growth rate. However, the population may not reach its equilibrium state, especially when there is management by harvesting or hunting. Recently, there has been an increased interest in short-term transient dynamics, which can differ from asymptotic long-term dynamics. There are currently techniques to conduct perturbation analyses of short-term transient dynamics, but no techniques have been proposed for uncertainty analysis of such dynamics. In this study, we introduced an uncertainty analysis technique, the general Fourier Amplitude Sensitivity Test (FAST), to study uncertainties in transient population dynamics. The general FAST is able to identify the amount of uncertainty in transient dynamics and contributions by different demographic parameters. We applied the general FAST to a mountain goat (Oreamnos americanus) matrix population model to give a clear illustration of how uncertainty analysis can be conducted for transient dynamics arising from matrix population models.

利用2017~2019年太行山横谷城市阳泉PM₁₀和PM_2.5逐时浓度资料和对应时刻风速风向数据,结合HYSPLIT后向轨迹模型通过聚类分析、潜在源贡献因子和浓度权重轨迹方法分析了横谷城市气流输送特征及对阳泉市气溶胶的影响,并进一步探讨了太行山两侧大气污染物的交换特征.阳泉市气溶胶日变化为单峰单谷型,冬季最高值出现在10：00~11：00,其他季节多在09：00,最小值均在15：00~16：00;月际变化呈1月最高、8月最低.受横谷地形影响,地面风向以偏东风和偏西风频率最高;除小风天气外,春秋季偏西风引起的沙尘天气和冬季偏东风输送也会引起阳泉气溶胶浓度升高;后向轨迹结合污染特征显示,各季节污染轨迹占比为春季26.2%、秋季36.4%和冬季33.7%,主要分布在阳泉的西南和东南区域,冬季在东北区域也有分布;山脉两侧均存在显著的细颗粒物传输,而起源或途经太行山西侧的轨迹粗颗粒物输送亦相对较多;污染轨迹中偏西气流输送对PM₁₀超标率影响更大,偏东气流则主要影响PM_2.5的超标率.不同季节阳泉市气溶胶主要污染潜在源区存在差异,春季为西南和东南两区域;秋季为西南及偏南区域,冬季主要位于偏南和偏东方向区域,山西东南部及与河南北部交界区域是主要的污染贡献源区,太行山两侧通过井陉通道进行大气污染物的相互传输过程显著,其中东向西的PM_2.5传输影响更显著.     

贺兰山东坡典型植物群落土壤微生物量碳、氮沿海拔梯度的变化特征

土壤微生物量是陆地生态系统碳循环的重要组成部分,在生态系统物质循环和能量转化中占有特别重要的地位。开展土壤微生物量与海拔高度的关系的研究,能促使人们对土壤微生物空间分布格局及其形成机制的认识,预测全球变化对生态系统功能的影响。本文对贺兰山不同海拔梯度具有代表性的荒漠化草原（HM）、蒙古扁桃灌丛（BT）、油松林（YS）、青海云杉林（QH）和高山草甸（CD）等5种植物群落土壤微生物生物量及其微生物商进行了研究。结果表明：表层土壤（0～20 cm）微生物生物量碳（MBC）、氮（MBN）大小次序为：CD〉QH〉YS〉BT〉HM,MBC、MBN随海拔梯度的升高显著增加,与土壤有机碳、氮含量有着一致的变化规律,但是微生物商（qMB）表现出沿海拔梯度先增加后减小的变化趋势,最大值出现在蒙古扁桃灌丛土壤,MBC/MBN则没有明显的变化规律。相关分析表明,不同海拔高度的土壤微生物量碳氮不仅与年均降水量、土壤含水量,而且与土壤有机碳、全氮呈显著线性正相关关系（P〈0.01）,但是与年均气温、土壤容重呈显著线性负相关关系（P〈0.01）。贺兰山土壤微生物量碳、氮随海拔高度升高而增加,降水量、气温、土壤湿度、土壤有机碳和全氮可能是影响土壤微生物量沿海拔梯度变化的关键因子。     

Spatio-temporal analysis of alpine ecotones: A spatial explicit model targeting altitudinal vegetation shifts

There is general agreement in literature that Alpine vegetation belt ecotones have shown a trend of upward migration in the last few decades. Despite the potential of such shifts as indicators of global change effects in mountain ecosystems, there are relatively few works focused on their assessment in a systematic and spatially explicit way. In this work our aim is to quantify the altitudinal shifts and analyse the spatial pattern dynamics of mountain ecotones. We developed a novel procedure to delineate the current and former state of three characteristic mountain ecotones, which we formalised as forest, tree and tundra lines. Our approach is based on the recognition of altitudinal extreme outposts identified with ecotone locations at a slope scale. The integration of multi-temporal datasets allows the identification and quantification of altitudinal advances and retreats in the outpost locations for a given period. We tested the method in a section of the Italian Alps for the period 1957-2003. Results show a general trend of an increase in altitude for the three ecotones, despite the occurrence of occasional decreases. We estimate decadal altitude increments of 25 m for forest line, 13 m for treeline and 11 m for tundra line. We also identified changes in ecotone spatial morphology between the two dates, with significant implications in connectivity and colonisation dynamics.     

重庆四面山杉木群落物种多样性研究

通过对重庆四面山杉木(Cunninghamia lanceolata)林样地的调查,运用丰富度指数、Shannon-Wiener多样性指数、Simpson多样性指数和Pielou均匀度指数,分析了该地区杉木群落物种多样性特征,将该地区现存杉木群落划分为2个群系组(杉木林和杉木针阔混交林),8个群系,10个群丛。结果表明,杉木群落可分为乔木层、灌木层和草本层。在杉木林群系组中,丰富度指数、多样性指数和均匀度指数均表现为灌木层>草本层>乔木层。在杉木针阔混交林群系组中,丰富度指数表现为灌木层>乔木层>草本层;多样性指数多数表现为灌木层>乔木层>草本层;均匀度指数变化较为复杂,没有统一规律。杉木群落各层的丰富度指数随海拔高度的升高总体上呈下降趋势。群落各层的多样性指数随海拔高度的升高在特定区间内表现出一定规律性:在海拔1180m以下低海拔区域,随海拔高度的升高呈下降趋势;在海拔1180～1351m范围内,随海拔高度的升高呈波动状态;而在海拔1351m以上高海拔区域,又呈下降趋势。群落各层的均匀度指数随海拔梯度变化较为复杂,未表现出明显规律。
