近岸海域环境功能区概念辨析及其存在的问题和对策

近岸海域环境功能区是进行近岸海域水环境管理的重要依据.随着经济和环境保护形势的发展,我国近岸海域环境功能区管理也应进行相应的调整.研究了近岸海域环境功能区与海洋功能区之间的差别,根据近岸海域环境功能区的定位,指出其应主要包含3个属性,即自然属性、社会属性和管理属性,因此近岸海域环境功能区划分应立足于保护当地的海洋生态系统,满足人类对近岸海域水体的使用功能,同时方便对近岸海域环境系统的管理.对近岸海域环境功能区目前存在的主要问题进行了分析,即超标严重、调整频繁、排污混合区设置不合理以及监管有待加强等.在此基础上,提出应突出近岸海域环境功能区战略定位,将近岸海域环境功能区划上升为国家标准,加强近岸海域环境功能区的生态保护功能,加快修编《近岸海域环境功能区划分技术规范》,并强化环境保护部对近岸海域环境功能区的监督管理等对策建议.      

近岸海域多环芳烃生态系统动力学模型及生境影响

利用生态动力学模型Delf3D,对大连葫芦山湾海域多环芳烃(PAHs)在海洋中的理化及生态动力学过程进行耦合,并以大连葫芦山湾实际监测数据及相关文献资料为基础,确定了一套适用于该近岸海域PAHs生态动力学过程的特征参数,模拟研究了PAHs在近岸海域生态动力学过程.以浮游植物生长率作为指示近岸海域生态系统健康程度的指标,将PAHs含量的数值模拟结果与浮游植物生长率的动力学响应方程相拟合,定量的评估了PAHs对海洋生态系统的影响.结果显示:排污口选址于水深大、流速快、水动力强处,对PAHs污染物扩散、水质改善具有显著作用,反之造成PAHs大规模富集.PAHs富集作用对该湾生境影响较显著,湾顶水动力作用微弱,浮游生物生长率削减度高达18%.ArcGIS分析显示,浮游生物生长率削减程度与PAHs时空分布并不完全一致,体现海湾生态系统的动力复杂性与结构稳固性.     

崇明东滩滨海围垦湿地CO_2通量贡献区分析

利用通量贡献区模型(FSAM)对崇明东滩滨海围垦湿地生长季和非生长季的CO2通量贡献区(Footprint)进行分析,结果表明:(1)135°~225°方向为生长季主风向,而315°~45°方向为非生长季主风向。(2)在生长季主风向,大气稳定状态下的Footprint函数取得最大值时的位置(Xm)为96.84 m,90%的通量信息来源于迎风向41.04~378.20 m、垂直迎风向-79.73~79.73 m范围内;而大气不稳定状态下的Xm为75.28 m,90%的通量信息来源于迎风向33.83~257.07 m、垂直迎风向-82.29~82.29 m范围内。在非生长季主风向,大气稳定状态下的Xm为82.68 m,90%的通量信息来源于迎风向36.73~282.49 m、垂直迎风向-120.31~120.31 m范围内;而大气不稳定状态下的Xm为56.49 m,90%的通量信息来源于迎风向25.90~179.90 m、垂直迎风向-76.30~76.30 m范围内。(3)非主风向贡献区分布与主风向有相似的规律。在生长季和非生长季,大气稳定状态下的贡献区面积均要大于大气不稳定状态下的贡献区面积;而在相同的大气稳定状态下,生长季的贡献区面积要大于非生长季。(4)在非生长季,主风向观测的垂直迎风向范围要远大于其他风向,这可能和该条件下的横向风速脉动标准差与摩擦风速的比值(σv/u*)较大有关。     

Evaluation of the ecological status with benthic indices in the coastal system： the case of Bohai Bay （China）

Based on biologic and environmental materials collected from coastal areas of Bohai Bay （China） in April, 2008, three biotic indices （AZTI＇s Marine Biotic Index （AMBI）, Shannon-Wiener Index and W-statistic） were applied together to evaluate the ecological status of the sampling area. The results showed a clear spatial gradient from a worse ecological status in the near-shore areas （especially around Haihe and Jiyun River Estuaries） to a better status in the offshore areas. While all the three indices could assist decision makers in visualizing spatial changes of organic pollutants in Bohai Bay, two indices, i. e., AMBI and Shannon-Wiener index, were effective in distinguishing sites from Haihe River Estuary, Jiyun River Estuary and other area. However, W-statistic can＇t tell the differences between estuaries and other area. It would be explained that organic pollutants and/or other environ- mental stresses in Bohai Bay were not strong enough to reduce the size ofmacrozoobenthos, which may cause both of the abundance and biomass curves crossed. To our knowledge, this is the first time that several benthic indices were used to assess the benthic ecological status in Bohai Bay, which gave the similar results. Furthermore, there is indication that the ecological status is related to excess input of wastewater along main rivers and outlets. In a word, AMBI, Shannon-Wiener Index and W-statistic could be able to assess the benthic ecological status of Bohai Bay under the organic pollutants pressure.     

Comments on and implications of a steady-state in coastal marine ecosystems

Coastal ecosystems can be thought of as being established by a number of physico-geochemical drivers, e.g. geochemistry and bathymetry of the basins, climate, tidal and freshwater flows, natural and anthropogenic inputs of nutrients and toxins, all of which exert an influence on the resulting communities of organisms. Depending on the interactions among the major drivers, ecosystems may occur on both large and small scales and be basin-wide or within basins. For individual and separate ecosystems to exist with some permanence in time, e.g. reach a steady-state, they also have to be ‘defended’. Defences are mechanisms that counter changes to maintain the status quo. We argue, and present evidence to support the notion, that the defence mechanisms are inextricably tied to primary production and the biogeochemical cycling of organic matter and provide buffers that mitigate potentially adverse impacts by trace toxins. Colloid pumping, production of complexing ligands and sulfide formation are some of the mechanisms that control trace substances. Current methods for assessing ecosystems do not address the issue of steady-state, nor do they take account of defence activities, e.g. buffering. Therefore, they cannot assess the ‘robustness’ of ecosystems or their ability to resist change, for good or bad. Also, defence mechanisms may, for a time, mask future potentially serious impacts, suggesting that monitoring efforts with limited budgets should consider the measurement of the inputs into ecosystems as well as the immediate or short-term result of the inputs.     

天津近海富营养化及环境因子的时空变化特征

基于1995—2010年监测数据,通过Mann-Kendall趋势检验和Kriging空间插值等方法,对天津近岸海域氮磷营养盐、有机污染物和富营养状况的时空变化趋势及其成因进行了分析. 结果表明:在天津近岸海域的48个监测时段中,有81.3%的监测时段处于富营养状态,有39.6%的ρ(DIN)和16.7%的ρ(DIP)超过海洋水质四类标准,有89.6%的ρ(COD_Mn)符合海洋水质一类标准;氮和磷为主要污染物,污染物质量浓度和富营养状态的季节性差异显著. ρ(DIP)、ρ(COD_Mn)和营养状态指数的年际变化主要呈下降趋势,ρ(DIN)呈先下降后显著上升的趋势;ρ(DIN)、ρ(DIP)和ρ(COD_Mn)在空间分布上基本遵循近岸高、远岸低的规律,其中ρ(DIN)和ρ(DIP)均显著呈带状分布,并且基本为北高南低. 防治天津近岸海域水体富营养化的关键是削减丰水期和平水期入海径流的氮负荷以及北部海域入海径流的磷负荷.      

Sedimentary organic matter and bacterial community in microtidal mixed beaches of the Ligurian Sea (NW Mediterranean)

The quantity and quality of organic matter, and bacterial density and frequency of dividing cells were investigated in six microtidal mixed beaches of the Ligurian Sea (NW Mediterranean) to evaluate their main trophodynamic features. Concentrations of biopolymeric carbon (average 88.5?±?89.0 µgC/g) and the protein:carbohydrate ratio (on average lower than 1) were very low and classified these beaches as highly oligotrophic. The study of biochemical composition highlighted the nature of organic matter as being mainly refractory; furthermore, the quantitative differences observed along the across-beach gradient together with the unchanged pattern in qualitative features suggest that the organic matter in Ligurian beaches is prevalently of marine origin. This implies a negligible contribution of allochtonous and anthropogenic terrestrial input or in situ autochthonous production. Bacterial density displayed values ranging from 0.1–9.0 cell?×?10⁸/g DW in the top 2?cm layer and showed a significant correlation with the quantity of organic matter. In addition, the frequency of dividing cells showed a positive correlation with the protein:carbohydrate ratio, suggesting that the biochemical composition of organic matter also has an influence on the active bacterial fraction. Because of the exposed nature, a strong coupling was found between the beach and the marine systems, and this seems to be of fundamental importance in terms of material and energy supply for the beach ecosystem. A shortage within this linkage was observed in summer owing to the strong environmental constrains leading to a sort of “beach desertification” and to a marked oligotrophy. Summer also has an effect of smoothing for spatial variability occurring within the biochemical and microbiological variables among the different beaches. The linkage observed between the sea and the land is the main factor controlling the origin and nature of sediment organic matter in these beaches also regulating bacterial abundances and the frequency of dividing cells.     

Accumulation of Organochlorine Compounds in Oysters (Crassostrea Gasar) of an Estuarine Environment: Case of A Tropical Lagoon in the Gulf of Guinea

As part of a pollution monitoring study, oysters (Crassostrea gasar) were sampled in June 1996, in order to determine the concentrations and distribution of chlorinated hydrocarbons in two stations (near Boulay Island and Riviera Golf) of the Ebrie Lagoon, in the Abidjan area.

The chromatographic analysis of the oven dried samples revealed the presence of PCBs (2.13 to 86.22 ppb or ng/g dry weight), DDE (<0.48 to 169.55 ppb), DDD (<1.04 to 60.27 ppb), DDT (1.43 to 77.81 ppb, lindane (<0.22 to 91.64 ppb), aldrin (<0.30 to 154.1 ppb), endrin (<0.23 to 293.31 ppb) and dieldrin (<0.26 to 199.74 ppb). the results indicated high concentrations in oysters sampled near Boulay Island, due to industrial, agricultural and port activities going on in this area.

Compared to DDD/ΣDDT and DDT/ΣDDT, the DDE/ΣDDT ratios were high indicating old DDT inputs. the ΣDDT/PCBs ratios were higher than 1 illustrated the predominance of organochlorine inputs from agriculture activities. the presence of lindane in both stations illustrated the problem of fishing with toxic products.

Negative correlations found between dry tissue weight and organochlorine compounds concentrations showed that young oysters may concentrate more of these substances. More studies are needed in order to make any conclusions on their bioaccumulation trends.
