HYDROLOGIC DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS OF CONSTRUCTED WETLANDS FOR URBAN STORMWATER RUNOFF1

ABSTRACT: The successful design of constructed wetlands requires a continuous supply of water or vegetation that can withstand drought conditions. Having a constant water source is the best alternative to insure species diversity throughout the season. Consequently, detention structure designs should be based on times between events as well as on hydrologic return periods, since between events is when most evaporation and infiltration losses are likely to occur. In arid or semi-arid environments, this is a difficult process because of long interevent times and seasonal changes in precipitation patterns. This discussion is predicated on the assumption that phytoplankton, epiphytic algae, and emergent vegetation require moist conditions to be effective at removing nutrients, metals and other pollutants. There are drought tolerant species of vegetation that can be used in constructed wetlands but it may take several days to re-establish the attached bacteria communities necessary for optimum pollutant removal. This paper examines a stochastic framework to examine the probability of extended dry periods based on historic rainfall data. The number of consecutive dry days is selected for a specified level of assurance. By multiplying this value by the sum of daily system losses, an overall pond volume can be determined that ensures a minimum depth of water. To illustrate the utility of the approach, the method is applied to a site in Spokane, Washington.     

臭氧对农业生态系统影响的综合评估：以长江三角洲为例

如何评价和预测近地层臭氧(O3)浓度持续升高对作物的影响是污染生态学研究的热点之一.依据改进的开顶式气室(Open-top chamber,OTC)实验资料,建立了我国长江三角洲地区O3与3种典型农作物(水稻、冬小麦和油菜)的剂量-响应(Dose-response)函数,并对该地区2003年作物产量损失进行了综合估算.研究结果表明:1)水稻、冬小麦和油菜3种作物的O3临界水平值分别为7.434、2.280和7.328ppm·h,冬小麦最为敏感;2)O3污染已造成该地区较为严重的产量损失,2003年水稻、冬小麦和油菜分别减产3.04%、17.08%和5.92%,经济损失达到5.76、7.68和2.61亿元.长江三角洲地区高浓度O3污染必须引起足够的重视。     

广西国家重点生态功能区县域生态环境与社会经济协调发展关联分析

以广西国家重点生态功能区县域为研究单元,对2015—2020年县域经济社会发展水平和生态环境质量综合水平进行评估,通过权重赋值计算生态环境-社会经济综合实力,综合判断生态环境保护与社会经济发展的协调性。结果表明：研究区域体量小,人均可支配收入低;县域社会经济总体呈正向发展态势,发展速度相对缓慢,低于全区平均县域水平;生态环境综合质量呈现波动变化,部分县域生态环境综合质量增长率为负值;15个县域生态环境质量与社会经济发展为协调,10个县域为基本协调,2个县域处于调和等级。

基于隶属函数的高速公路安全距离模型研究

为了改善高速公路防追尾安全距离模型,对模型中的驾驶员反应时间进行研究,分析不同车速时驾驶员反应时间对安全距离的影响。驾驶员反应时间受驾龄、应变能力、性别、心理生理状况、车速等多种因素的影响。基于模糊数学中隶属函数的有关理论,利用Matlab软件,在驾驶员反应时间大小允许的范围内,综合考虑各种主要因素,确定驾驶员反应时间。通过具体实例说明该方法的应用,结果证明,应用模糊数学,可以计算出不同的驾驶员,在不同的车速时的反应时间。     

消防第一出动时间的频次分布规律研究

消防队接到火警后第一出动力量及时到达火场展开灭火救援,对有效控制火灾、减少人员伤亡和财产损失有着重要的意义。第一出动时间直接反映了城市灭火救援专业力量的出动响应水平。采用SPSS软件对1995-2003年日本全国城市火灾数据进行分析,发现第一出动时间的频次符合对数正态分布;与部分中国城市火灾统计数据对比后,表明后者符合同样的规律。中国数据对数正态分布的期望值为4.9分钟,其物理意义为消防力量第一出动时间的平均值,与我国消防条例对城镇消防站设置的基本原则相符。

Perception and Attitude of Residents Toward Urban Green Spaces in Guangzhou (China)

Fast economic and social changes in recent years in China have brought massive expansion, redevelopment, and restructuring of cities. These changes offer cities the opportunity to improve environmental quality through urban green spaces (UGSs) and to address the challenges of meeting community aspirations. This study explored peoples’ minds concerning UGSs in Guangzhou city in south China in relation to the following: (1) knowledge and perception of 25 ecosystem services and 8 negative impacts; (2) attitude toward site condition and management; (3) expectation of landscape design; and (4) preference ranking of venues. A questionnaire was designed to solicit opinions from 340 respondents randomly chosen from residents living in the study area. The results indicated widespread recognition of ecosystem services and strong support of UGS programs. Negative responses were weakly expressed. Amelioration of urban microclimate and environmental quality were emphasized. Environmental functions stressed in publicity programs, together with aggravating environmental problems in the city, tended to focus respondents’ attention on UGS benefits. Wildlife habitat, species conservation and other natural ecosystem services drew limited concerns. Awareness of economic benefits was very low. Visual-landscape contributions with strong preference for naturalistic design and recreational benefits were highlighted. Compared with other countries, Guangzhou residents were characterized by visual–scenic–recreation orientation and pragmatic–utilitarian perception of UGSs, reflecting underlying differences in the understanding of inherent ecosystem services of green spaces. Relevant UGS policies and practices could adopt the approaches of market survey, citizen participation, and precision planning in order to meet increasingly mature and refined demands. Citizens’ understanding of high-order ecosystem services could be enhanced to encourage appreciation of nature and their associated benefits.     

胶州湾沉积物中的磷及其环境指示意义

研究了胶州湾沉积物中磷形态的地球化学分布特征、控制因素及环境意义,将胶州湾沉积物中的磷分为可交换态磷、铝结合态磷、铁结合态磷、闭蓄态磷、自生钙磷、碎屑态磷和有机磷7种不同的形态,并结合210Pb测年法计算了不同年代各形态磷的埋藏通量,在此基础上,分析了胶州湾沉积物中磷所给出的环境信息.结果表明,无机磷是胶州湾沉积物中磷的主要形态,有机磷只占较小的比例,无机磷中钙磷占的比例相对较大,其中碎屑态磷是含量最高.磷的含量及埋藏通量的垂向分布受到pH、盐度、温度、生物扰动、沉积速率等环境因子的影响.相关分析及元素的OC/OP比值分析证明,近20a,陆源输入是胶州湾沉积物主要来源,并且沉积速率不断增大.由于近年来采取的较为得力的治污与排放措施,胶州湾的环境状况已有明显改观.研究还表明,Fe-P,Al-P和Oc-P的含量与海域污染程度有较密切的关系,可作为表征海洋沉积环境污染状况的指示因子之一.
