Groundwater conditions under a reconstructed prairie chronosequence

Chronosequences are useful to evaluate long-term changes in ecosystem services but assessing groundwater quality changes using this approach has rarely been done. In this study, groundwater level and quality comparisons were made in a watershed-scale reconstructed prairie chronosequence that extended back in time approximately 13 years at the Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge (NSNWR) near Prairie City, Iowa. Our objectives were to determine whether groundwater conditions varied significantly across the chronosequence and quantify the rate of nitrate concentration reduction when row crop fields are replaced by prairie. We installed 19 groundwater wells at upland locations selected to provide similar soil type, landscape position and slope. Water samples were collected on five occasions in 2006 and 2007 and analyzed for field parameters, anions and NO₃-N, NH₄-N and PO₄-P. Significant groundwater changes were primarily associated with groundwater levels, and groundwater nitrate and chloride concentrations. The groundwater was deeper under the older prairie plantings but fluctuated similarly among all well sites. Groundwater nitrate and chloride concentrations decreased 0.58 and 0.52 mg/l per year over the 13-year chronosequence, respectively. Results are seen to provide some guidance to land managers regarding possible nitrate concentration reductions achievable from converting cropland to perennial land cover in similar geomorphic settings.     

多环芳烃在土壤-蔬菜界面上的迁移与积累特征

研究了南京市工业区周边污染农田土壤中16种优先控制的多环芳烃（PAHs）污染物由土壤向蔬菜迁移的特征及其在蔬菜体内的积累规律.结果表明,蔬菜体内PAHs的浓度与其生长土壤环境中PAHs的浓度呈正相关关系,且土壤中PAHs的浓度显著高于生长在该土壤上的蔬菜根和茎叶组织中的浓度(p<0.05),根中PAHs的浓度显著高于茎叶组织中的浓度(p<0.05).蔬菜根中低环PAHs与PAHs总浓度的比值（∑LMW-PAHs∑PAHs）显著高于其土壤中相应的比例(p<0.05).与高环PAHs（HMW-PAHs）相比,LMW-PAHs易被蔬菜根部吸收,表现出较高的生物有效性.生长在同种污染土壤中的4种叶菜类蔬菜体内PAHs的浓度差异不显著,即这4种蔬菜吸收积累PAHs的差异较小.

南京和宜兴市土壤中多环芳烃(PAHs)的纵向分布

采集了江苏省南京和宜兴市的土壤剖面样品,用高效液相色谱分析了16种PAHs在土壤样品中的含量,研究了PAHs在土壤剖面中的纵向分布特征和影响因素。结果表明,在采样点土壤0～10cm的表土中16种PAHs总量最高,为280.8～717.1μg/kg,随着土壤剖面的加深PAHs总量减少,在70～80cm土层中为8.7～97.5μg/kg。不同PAHs组分在土壤中分布的特点不同,低环的PAHs(≤3环)含量在0～80cm土层中都有分布且随土壤深度加深而减少,而高环的PAHs(≥4环)主要分布在0～30cm土层中,30cm以下土层中含量较少甚至检测不到。相关分析表明,在每个土壤剖面中PAHs总量与其土壤有机碳含量显著相关,PAHs在农田土壤剖面中的纵向分布与土壤有机碳含量、PAHs的理化性质有很大的关系。     

安徽中北部河流沉积物的特征与多环芳烃分布

通过对安徽省中北部6条河流沉积物样品的粒径、矿物组分和有机质含量的测试,并应用气相色谱质谱联用仪测定了样品中萘、二氢苊、苊、芴、菲、蒽、荧蒽、芘、苯并[a]蒽、、苯并[a]芘和二苯并[a,h]蒽等12种多环芳烃的含量,分析了研究区河流沉积物的特征和多环芳烃分布。研究结果表明:位于安徽省中北部的淮河南北岸支流沉积物粒径和矿物组分具有不同特征;就PAHs总量来看,北岸支流平均值为313.3ng/g,南岸支流平均为112.8ng/g,差异比较明显,南岸支流沉积物中大多数多环芳烃的平均含量都低于北岸支流(蒽和菲除外,二苯并[a,h]蒽未检出);而有机质的含量,南北岸支流总体无明显差异(含量在0.55%至1.83%之间),但单条河流的分布呈沿水流方向自中上游至下游逐渐降低。

Concentrations of heavy metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in needles of Masson pine (Pinus massoniana L.) growing nearby di erent industrial sources

Emissions from industrial activities pose a serious threat to human health and impose the need for monitoring both inorganic and organic pollutants in industrial areas.We selected Masson pine (Pinus massoniana L.) as potential biomonitor and collected the current (C) and previous year (C+1) needles from three industrial sites dominated by petrochemical, ceramics manufacturing, and iron and steel smelting plants and one remote site to determine heavy metals (Cu, Cd, Pb, Zn, Cr, Ni and Co) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in unwashed and water-washed needles. Both unwashed and washed C+1 needles showed generally higher concentrations of heavy metals and PAHs than C needles, although the washed needles more clearly spotlighted the accumulation e ect of PAHs over exposure time. Water-washing resulted in a significant decrease in needle PAH concentrations with more significant e ects shown in C needles. By contrast, needle heavy metal concentrations were much less a ected by washing. Although heavy metals and PAHs might di er in adsorption and uptake strategies, their higher concentrations in the needles at the industrial sites indicated conspicuous contamination due to industrial emissions there. The PAH distribution patterns in pine needles accorded with the real types of energy consumption in the study sites and were e ciently used for pinpointing local pollutant sources.
