海州湾海洋牧场海域表层沉积物磷的形态与环境意义

采用沉积物无机磷分级方法结合上覆水初级生产力测定研究了海州湾海洋牧场海域表层沉积物磷的赋存形态及其生物有效性.结果表明:夏季总磷的含量高于春、秋两季,赋存形态以无机磷为主,平均占总磷的45.50%,各无机磷赋存形态的含量大小依次为:残渣态磷钙结合态磷铁铝结合态磷可交换态磷.其中可交换态磷、铁铝结合态磷以及钙结合态磷与有机碳含量成显著正相关(P0.01,R0.8).平面分布整体上呈现由近岸向远岸减小的趋势,这主要与陆源物质排放及沉积物自身质地有关.沉积物中的生物有效磷含量占总磷的36.95%,所占比例较大.     

辽东湾网采浮游植物粒级结构的胁迫响应

基于2012~2014年春、夏、秋、冬季辽东湾网采浮游植物及环境因子的调查资料,对辽东湾南、北2个区域的浮游植物粒级结构分布规律及其环境胁迫响应进行了分析,并评估了浮游植物群落结构的稳定性.结果表明,辽东湾海域浮游植物春、夏、秋季丰度主要集中在小粒径范围,冬季主要集中在中粒径范围;生物量春、夏、秋季主要集中在中粒径范围,冬季主要集中在大粒径范围,南部区域浮游植物粒径整体上大于北部区域.寡营养水域以及较低的水温环境更适于大粒径浮游植物生存.春、秋、冬季浮游植物群落结构比较稳定,但夏季偏离平衡点.南部区域群落结构整体上比北部区域稳定,网采中、大粒径组的W统计量可以作为浮游植物群落结构稳定性的评估指标.     

底栖生物完整性指数的构建及生物基准的确定

基于2009～2013年7个航次渤海湾天津段的大型底栖动物和水质、沉积物环境数据,结合国内外已有的研究结果,首次尝试采用AZTI海洋生物指数以及水质和沉积物质量确定参考点,同时采取标准化方法筛选生物指标,确定各指标的阈值分级标准,从而构建出生物完整性指数.取参考点生物完整性指数值的90%分位数作为基准值,得出该海域生物基准值为5.适用性验证结果表明,生物完整性指数能够较好地指示研究区受干扰的生态质量状况,较为敏感地响应营养盐及重金属压力,也适用于评价该区域的底栖生态质量状况.因此,采用生物完整性指数法来确定生物基准是合理可行的.     

Restoring coastal wetlands that were ditched for mosquito control: A preliminary assessment of hydro-leveling as a restoration technique

The wetlands surrounding Tampa Bay, Florida were extensively ditched for mosquito control in the 1950s. Spoil from ditch construction was placed adjacent to the wetlands ditches creating mound-like features (spoil-mounds). These mounds represent a loss of 14% of the wetland area in Tampa Bay. Spoil mounds interfere with tidal flow and are locations for non-native plants to colonize (e.g., Schinus terebinthifolius). Removal of the spoil mounds to eliminate exotic plants, restore native vegetation, and re-establish natural hydrology is a restoration priority for environmental managers. Hydro-leveling, a new technique, was tested in a mangrove forest restoration project in 2004. Hydro-leveling uses a high pressure stream of water to wash sediment from the spoil mound into the adjacent wetland and ditch. To assess the effectiveness of this technique, we conducted vegetation surveys in areas that were hydro-leveled and in non-hydro-leveled areas 3 years post-project. Adult Schinus were reduced but not eliminated from hydro-leveled mounds. Schinus seedlings however were absent from hydro-leveled sites. Colonization by native species was sparse. Mangrove seedlings were essentially absent (≈2 m⁻²) from the centers of hydro-leveled mounds and were in low density on their edges (17 m⁻²) in comparison to surrounding mangrove forests (105 m⁻²). Hydro-leveling resulted in mortality of mangroves adjacent to the mounds being leveled. This was probably caused by burial of pneumatophores during the hydro-leveling process. For hydro-leveling to be a useful and successful restoration technique several requirements must be met. Spoil mounds must be lowered to the level of the surrounding wetlands. Spoil must be distributed further into the adjacent wetland to prevent burial of nearby native vegetation. Finally, native species may need to be planted on hydro-leveled areas to speed up the re-vegetation process.     

磷化氢在胶州湾沉积物中的分布特征

于2003-09-06现场采集样品,调查分析了胶州湾沉积物中基质结合态磷化氢的含量和分布.检测结果显示:磷化氢最高浓度达143.75ng/kg(干重).磷化氢在湾内沉积物中含量普遍高于湾外,受人类活动影响污染较为严重的养殖区、河口区等海域沉积物中磷化氢的含量明显高于湾中心和湾外等海域.分析磷化氢与其沉积环境的关系发现,沉积物中磷化氢的含量和分布受到沉积物中有机磷和氧化还原电位、沉积物组成等因素的影响.

以渤海湾天津段海岸带为例,对海岸带水环境质量评价指标和评价方法进行研究,在系统分析各种绝对灰色关联度计算方法的基础上,采用变权重的加权绝对灰色关联度计算方法,提出了基于灰色关联度的海岸带水环境质量评价方法.评价指标体系包括海岸带的物理、化学和生物指标,其中,化学指标可以选择COD_Mn,BOD₅,无机氮,磷酸盐和DO等,生物指标包括浮游植物多样性指数和叶绿素a浓度、浮游动物的多样性指数和均匀度指数、底栖生物多样性指数和丰富度指数.对渤海湾天津段海岸带的水环境评价结果表明:北部主要排污口———大沽口附近水环境质量面临威胁,水质呈Ⅲ~Ⅳ级;而中南部水质为Ⅱ级,远岸水环境质量良好,属于Ⅰ级.说明陆源活动影响是使水环境质量受损的主要原因.      

Invasive species impacts on ecosystem structure and function: A comparison of the Bay of Quinte, Canada, and Oneida Lake, USA, before and after zebra mussel invasion

As invasion rates of exotic species increase, an ecosystem level understanding of their impacts is imperative for predicting future spread and consequences. We have previously shown that network analyses are powerful tools for understanding the effects of exotic species perturbation on ecosystems. We now use the network analysis approach to compare how the same perturbation affects another ecosystem of similar trophic status. We compared food web characteristics of the Bay of Quinte, Lake Ontario (Canada), to previous research on Oneida Lake, New York (USA) before and after zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) invasion. We used ecological network analysis (ENA) to rigorously quantify ecosystem function through an analysis of direct and indirect food web transfers. We used a social network analysis method, cohesion analysis (CA), to assess ecosystem structure by organizing food web members into subgroups of strongly interacting predators and prey. Together, ENA and CA allowed us to understand how food web structure and function respond simultaneously to perturbation. In general, zebra mussel effects on the Bay of Quinte, when compared to Oneida Lake, were similar in direction, but greater in magnitude. Both systems underwent functional changes involving focused flow through a small number of taxa and increased use of benthic sources of production; additionally, both systems structurally changed with subgroup membership changing considerably (33% in Oneida Lake) or being disrupted entirely (in the Bay of Quinte). However, the response of total ecosystem activity (as measured by carbon flow) differed between both systems, with increasing activity in the Bay of Quinte, and decreasing activity in Oneida Lake. Thus, these analyses revealed parallel effects of zebra mussel invasion in ecosystems of similar trophic status, yet they also suggested that important differences may exist. As exotic species continue to disrupt the structure and function of our native ecosystems, food web network analyses will be useful for understanding their far-reaching effects.     

EFFECTS OF LAND COVER AND GEOLOGY ON STREAM CHEMISTRY IN WATERSHEDS OF CHESAPEAKE BAY1

ABSTRACT: We measured the base‐flow stream chemistry in all the major physiographic provinces of the Chesapeake Bay drainage basin. The spatial variation of stream chemistry was closely related to differences in geology and land cover among the sampled watersheds. Some stream chemistry variables were strongly affected by geological settings in the watersheds while others were more influenced by land cover. The effects of land cover differed among chemical constituents and regions. Concentrations of Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, pH, total alkalinity, and conductivity were mainly functions of carbonate bedrock, especially in the Great Valley. Nitrate‐N and total dissolved N were closely related to cropland and increased as the percentage of cropland increased. The rate of increase varied from region to region with the highest in the Piedmont. Na⁺ and Cl^? were mainly affected by the percentage of developed area in a watershed, especially in the Coastal Plain and Piedmont. We observed no significant effects of region or land cover on species of phosphorus because samples were collected under base flow conditions and only dissolved forms were measured. Dissolved silicate (DSi) was not related to any other water chemistry variables. DSi increased as developed area decreased and cropland increased in the Coastal Plain, but these patterns were reversed in the Piedmont. There was no consistent pattern in the spatial variation of land cover effects on the reduced forms of N, dissolved organic P, dissolved organic matter, and K⁺.     

渤海湾可溶性无机氮时空变异状况分析

以渤海湾17个监测点11年来可溶性无机氮(DIN)监测数据为研究对象,采用箱线图,相关分析,Mann-Kendall及样条插值等技术方法,分析渤海湾1996—2006年17个监测点ρ(DIN)的统计学特征、季节差异性和时空变化状况,以及引起ρ(DIN)时空变化的原因.结果表明:各监测时期渤海湾ρ(DIN)大多表现为正偏态分布. 在33个监测时段内,2号,4号和6号监测点所在海区ρ(DIN)最高,说明陆源污染及港口发展对渤海湾ρ(DIN)的贡献不容忽视. 丰水期ρ(DIN)与平水期显著相关,而枯水期ρ(DIN)与丰水期和平水期的相关性不显著. 在时间特征上,ρ(DIN)表现为先增加后平稳而后快速增加的趋势;在空间分布上,ρ(DIN)表现为北高南低,近岸高离岸低的趋势.
