湘江长沙段饮用水水源保护区持久性有机污染物调查及防治对策

采用Waters-C18固相萃取柱预处理水样,建立了7种痕量持久性有机污染物的固相萃取-气相色谱-电子捕获(SPE-GC-ECD)分析测试方法。方法的回收率均在82.0%~105.4%的范围内,相对标准偏差(RSD)小于5.5%。采用该方法对湘江长沙段饮用水水源保护区5个监测断面的水样进行分析和调查。研究发现,除饮用水水源保护区下游断面六氯苯和o’,p’-DDT未检出外;其它断面所测的POPs均有检出,且浓度在0.27~2.27 ng/L范围内。针对POPs的污染现状,提出了相应的防治对策。     

渔塘坝微景观中硒的高硒成因探讨

渔塘坝北部山区地势较高的富硒碳质岩层,相对封闭地势较低的山间盆地,以及二者之间的两条山沟共同构成了一个相对比较封闭的高硒微域地球化学景观。其北部茅口组富硒碳质岩石的平均硒含量为1251.1±1218.8μg.g-1,是渔塘坝出露地层中最为富硒的。这些富硒岩石为渔塘坝中的土壤和植物提供了硒的间接来源,而导致渔塘坝高硒景观的形成,除了地形、气候因素之外,主要是当地居民活动直接干预的结果,特别是田地以火土(石煤熏土)施肥改良土壤。因此,如果说渔塘坝北部富硒碳质岩层的存在是高硒区形成的必然条件,那么人为的开挖"石煤"和不当的耕种方式则为硒的迁移和转化提供了充分条件。无论是自然或后生形成的高硒区,当硒的累积达到一定程度并突然释放时,硒中毒仍然可以发生。所以,恩施的高硒地区依然是硒中毒可能发生的高风险区。     

西南喀斯特地区典型矿渣中砷、锑的赋存形态及其潜在风险评价

针对西南喀斯特地区典型矿渣中砷、锑的赋存形态及其潜在风险的问题,采用Shiowatana连续提取法提取矿渣中的砷（As）、锑（Sb）,分析并揭示As、Sb的赋存特征;结合矿渣的基本理化性质和矿物组成特征,讨论矿渣堆中As、Sb的活动性及其关键影响因素;采用风险评价编码法（RAC）对矿渣中As、Sb的潜在生态风险进行相关评价.结果表明：矿渣中的As主要以铁铝结合态和残渣态的形式赋存;Sb主要以残渣态的形式赋存.As比Sb具有更高比例的铁铝结合态,而Sb比As具有更高比例的碳酸盐结合态.弱酸至近中性矿渣中,Sb的活动性强于As;酸性矿渣中,As的活动性强于Sb.矿渣中As、Sb的潜在风险以中-低风险为主,个别为高和极高风险.     

The Links between Protected Areas, Faiths, and Sacred Natural Sites

Most people follow and are influenced by some kind of spiritual faith. We examined two ways in which religious faiths can in turn influence biodiversity conservation in protected areas. First, biodiversity conservation is influenced through the direct and often effective protection afforded to wild species in sacred natural sites and in seminatural habitats around religious buildings. Sacred natural sites are almost certainly the world's oldest form of habitat protection. Although some sacred natural sites exist inside official protected areas, many thousands more form a largely unrecognized "shadow" conservation network in many countries throughout the world, which can be more stringently protected than state-run reserves. Second, faiths have a profound impact on attitudes to protection of the natural world through their philosophy, teachings, investment choices, approaches to land they control, and religious-based management systems. We considered the interactions between faiths and protected areas with respect to all 11 mainstream faiths and to a number of local belief systems. The close links between faiths and habitat protection offer major conservation opportunities, but also pose challenges. Bringing a sacred natural site into a national protected-area system can increase protection for the site, but may compromise some of its spiritual values or even its conservation values. Most protected-area managers are not trained to manage natural sites for religious purposes, but many sacred natural sites are under threat from cultural changes and habitat degradation. Decisions about whether or not to make a sacred natural site an "official" protected area therefore need to be made on a case-by-case basis. Such sites can play an important role in conservation inside and outside official protected areas. More information about the conservation value of sacred lands is needed as is more informed experience in integrating these into wider conservation strategies. In addition, many protected-area staff need training in how to manage sensitive issues relating to faiths where important faith sites occur in protected areas.

Expanding the Global Network of Protected Areas to Save the Imperiled Mediterranean Biome

Abstract:  Global goals established by the Convention on Biological Diversity stipulate that 10% of the world's ecological regions must be effectively conserved by 2010. To meet that goal for the mediterranean biome, at least 5% more land must be formally protected over the next few years. Although global assessments identify the mediterranean biome as a priority, without biologically meaningful analysis units, finer-resolution data, and corresponding prioritization analysis, future conservation investments could lead to more area being protected without increasing the representation of unique mediterranean ecosystems. We used standardized analysis units and six potential natural vegetation types stratified by 3 elevation zones in a global gap analysis that systematically explored conservation priorities across the mediterranean biome. The highest levels of protection were in Australia, South Africa, and California-Baja California (from 9–11%), and the lowest levels of protection were in Chile and the mediterranean Basin (<1%). Protection was skewed to montane elevations in three out of five regions. Across the biome only one of the six vegetation types—mediterranean shrubland—exceeded 10% protection. The remaining vegetation types—grassland, scrub, succulent dominated, woodland, and forest—each had <3% protection. To guard against biases in future protection efforts and ensure the protection of species characteristic of the mediterranean biome, we identified biodiversity assemblages with <10% protection and subject to >30% conversion and suggest that these assemblages be elevated to high-priority status in future conservation efforts.     

Impact of climate change on soil moisture dynamics in Brandenburg with a focus on nature conservation areas

Global warming impacts the water cycle not only by changing regional precipitation levels and temporal variability, but also by affecting water flows and soil moisture dynamics. In Brandenburg, increasing average annual temperature and decreasing precipitation in summer have already been observed. For this study, past trends and future effects of climate change on soil moisture dynamics in Brandenburg were investigated, considering regional and specific spatial impacts. Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) were focused on in particular. A decreasing trend in soil water content was shown for the past by analyzing simulation results from 1951 to 2003 using the integrated ecohydrological model SWIM [Krysanova, V., Müller-Wohlfeil, D.-I., Becker, A., 1998. Development and test of a spatially distributed hydrological/water quality model for mesoscale watersheds. Ecol. Model. 106, 261–289]. The trend was statistically significant for some areas, but not for the entire region. Simulated soil water content was particularly low in the extremely dry year 2003. Comparisons of simulated trends in soil moisture dynamics with trends in the average annual Palmer Drought Severity Index for the region showed largely congruent patterns, though the modeled soil moisture trends are characterized by a much higher spatial resolution. Regionally downscaled climate change projections representing the range between wetter and drier realizations were used to evaluate future trends of available soil water. A further decrease of average available soil water ranging from −4% to −15% was projected for all climate realizations up to the middle of the 21st century. An average decrease of more than 25 mm was simulated for 34% of the total area in the dry realization. Available soil water contents in SACs were generally higher and trends in soil moisture dynamics were lower mainly due to their favorable edaphic conditions. Stronger absolute and relative changes in the simulated trends for the past and future were shown for SACs within Brandenburg than for the state as a whole, indicating a high level of risk for many wetland areas. Nonetheless, soil water content in SACs is expected to remain higher than average under climate change conditions as well, and SACs therefore have an important buffer function under the projected climate change. They are thus essential for local climate and water regulation and their status as protected areas in Brandenburg should be preserved.     

Geno-toxicity assay of sediment and water samples from the Upper Silesia post-mining areas, Poland by means of Allium-test

Genotoxic potential of two environmental compartments (water and sediment) from the Upper Silesia Coal Basin (USCB), Poland were evaluated and compared by employing root meristem cells of Allium cepa. The clear genotoxic effect of water and sediment sampled was shown, with an important contribution of severe types of cytogenetic abnormalities. The most biologically relevant pollutants were revealed through multivariate statistical analysis of relationships between biological effects registered and the environment contamination. Overall, results of simultaneous use of conventional monitoring methods and biological tests suggested that contemporary levels of persistent pollutants in post-mining areas of the USCB may enhance the risk both for human health and biological components of natural ecosystems.
