调理剂-植物栽培协同降低矿区农田土壤中重金属有效态含量

定量评估重金属有效态含量是明确农田土壤修复过程中重金属生态环境风险的重要步骤。针对硫化物矿区重金属污染土壤开展添加蚕沙-铁粉及蚕沙-伊蒙土-铁粉调理剂条件下油葵、孔雀草、香茅草和桑树4种经济作物的盆栽试验,并测定经济作物与调理剂共同作用下土壤中pH、有机质及镉砷铅锌铜有效态的含量。结果显示作物栽培与调理剂共同作用下,土壤pH值在两季中均有增加,土壤有机质在第一季中增加。第一季种植4种经济作物添加蚕沙-铁粉可显著降低土壤中多种重金属有效态含量,各重金属的最高钝化效率分别为Cd 30.3%、As 49.5%、Pb33.6%、Zn 52.1%、Cu 45.7%,优于蚕沙-伊蒙土-铁粉的调理效果。第二季种植时调理剂的钝化效率普遍降低。两季综合来看,蚕沙-铁粉联合香茅草时有效态镉、砷、铅、锌、铜的降低幅度最大。因此,添加蚕沙-铁粉调理剂的四种作物单季种植时能同时降低镉、砷、铅、锌、铜有效态的含量,香茅草两季种植时能同时降低以上5种重金属有效态含量,具有潜在应用价值。

为深入分析丹江口水库水质时空差异性,探索影响水质的重要因子,提供更具综合性的水质分析方法,基于5个不同观察点,监测水质理化指标和浮游细菌(真菌)群落多样性指标,并采用判别分析法、配对T检验法、直接相关和典型相关分析法进行分析。结果表明：丹江口库区5个观察点的水质在2016年和2017年分别属于良好状态和优秀或良好状态,但是判别分析法显示水质理化指标在5个观察点上整体存在显著差异;浮游细菌(真菌)群落多样性指标在5个观察点上整体存在显著差异; 5个观察点水质理化性质在2 a的2个时期上均无显著性差异,即水质营养状态无显著变化,但两者之间存在显著相关性;对丹江口库区的水质理化指标群与浮游细菌(或真菌)群落多样性指标群按照2个不同时期分别进行典型相关分析,发现水质理化指标的变化趋势与浮游细菌群落多样性指标变化趋势一致;依据所有水质理化指标和浮游真菌(或细菌)群落多样性指标进行综合判别分析,可对不同观察点进一步精细分类;通过典型相关分析发现浮游真菌(或细菌)群落多样性指标可以间接指示或反映水质变化的特点;环境因子（水质理化指标）中重要指标包括X₃(COD)、X₅(NH₃-N)、 X₇(Chl-a)和X₈(SD);浮游细菌群落多样性重要指标包括Y₁(序列条带)、Y₂(OTU数)、Y₃(Ace指数)和Y₄(Chao1指数);浮游真菌群落多样性重要指标包括Y₁(序列条带)、Y₂(OTU数)和Y₃(Ace指数) 。本研究采用的多指标综合分析技术较单指标逐一分析更能全面客观地反映水质变化全貌,可为完善和丰富水质环境监测数据综合分析技术手段提供一定的参考。本研究结果可为相关管理部门监测和改善南水北调中线水源区水质并制定政策提供基础数据和参考依据。

简化一维水质模型在突发水污染事故模拟预测中的应用

传统水质模拟预测模型对突发水污染事故事发地的水文、水下地形等资料要求较高,在缺乏相应资料时会影响对水污染事故的可靠预测和预警。为解决问题,亟需建立在应急条件下能快速预测预警的简化水质模型。以传统一维水质模型为基础,通过人工测量河流沿程流速,自动插值获得流场以替代模型中对流场的求解,再求解一维对流扩散方程,以此获得简化的一维水质模拟预测模型。模拟计算结果表明,相对于传统水质模型,简化后一维水质预警模型可快速准确地预测突发水污染事故后污染态势。

Ambio’s legacy on monitoring,impact, and management of acid rain: This article belongs to Ambio’s 50th Anniversary Collection. Theme: Acidification

Early studies published in Ambio showed large-scale acidification of lakes in southern Sweden and Norway from acid rain. These studies were important for delimiting various scientific issues and thus for eventually contributing to legislation, which reduced emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides and helped to mitigate this major environmental problem. Long-term studies and monitoring in Sweden and Norway and at Hubbard Brook Experimental Forest in New Hampshire helped guide this legislation in Europe and in the USA.     

Assessment of semi-natural habitats and landscape features on Irish farmland: New insights to inform EU Common Agricultural Policy implementation

Concerns over the loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services in farmland have prompted the development of agri-environment policy measures aimed at reducing farming pressure and maintaining semi-natural habitats in farmed landscapes. However, further knowledge is needed to guarantee successful agri-environment measures implementation. The current study assessed the quantity and the quality of semi-natural habitats in farms across a gradient of farming intensities in two contrasting regions in Ireland. Policy protection seemed fundamental for semi-natural habitats preservation. Habitats not protected by agricultural policy relied on extensive farming and are in danger of disappearing if they are intensified or abandoned. Due to the lack of policy incentives for habitat quality, no correlations were found between farming intensity and share of semi-natural habitats with habitat quality. Therefore, extensive farming and retention of habitats alone may not reverse the decline of farmland quality and biodiverisity and, thus, measures incentivising the environmental quality may be more successful.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1007/s13280-020-01344-6) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.     

Using a process-based model to understand dynamics of Chinese agricultural and water technology development from 8000 bc to 1911 ad

Advancements in technology are inextricably bound to our society and the natural environment. However, how the development process of a technology system interacts with both remains unclear. We propose a process model to understand the complex dynamics among technology, society, and the environment via seven interactive elements: technologies, actors, receiving bodies, natural contexts, social contexts, temporal–spatial contexts, and outcomes. The model was applied to agricultural and water technology development in China from 8000 bc to 1911 ad. Our findings show that these elements did not play equally important roles in different periods of the development in ancient China, with social contexts most dominating during the earlier periods and both social and environmental concerns arising towards the later periods. The proposed model, by identifying the elements in the technology development that should be strengthened, can act as an analysis device to assist in reconfiguring a more sustainable socio-technological system.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1007/s13280-020-01424-7) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
