Measurement of HONO flux using the aerodynamic gradient method over an agricultural field in the Huaihe River Basin, China

To investigate nitrous acid(HONO) levels and potential HONO sources above crop rotation fields. The HONO fluxes were measured by the aerodynamic gradient(AG) method from 14 December 2019 to 2 January 2020 over an agricultural field in the Huaihe River Basin. The ambient HONO levels were measured at two different heights(0.15 and 1.5 m), showing a typical diurnal cycle with low daytime levels and high nighttime levels. The upward HONO fluxes were mostly observed during the day, whereas deposition...     

天水地区新近纪沉积物地球化学特征及其意义

通过对天水盆地新近纪沉积物地化特征的研究表明:(1)天水盆地下山剖面泥岩富MgO、CaO、Nb、Sr、Th,贫SiO2、Al2O3、Ba、Cr、Ni、Rb,高Al2O3/TiO2、Cr/Zr、Cr/Th、Th/Sc,结合盆地的平面展布特征和地层厚度变化规律及沉积相的横向变化,初步认为盆地南区西秦岭北缘各时代花岗闪长岩和偏中性岩主要控制着该区的沉积物地球化学组成,而古秦岭洋闭合期蛇绿岩套中的基性-超基性岩有很大的影响,其结果是它们高度混合的物质给盆地提供物源,泥岩样品中K2O的含量随时间增长而增高,说明物源区在溯源侵蚀的过程中富钾值岩大量出现;(2)CIA和ICV值指示天水盆地碎屑沉积物的物源区古风化程度较强,沉积物成熟度较低,源区沉积再循环的物质很少或几乎不存在,在上新世到更新世之间存在化学风化作用减弱的趋势;(3)天水盆地从西秦岭山麓到华家岭地层沉积厚度越来越薄,从湖相逐渐过渡为湖泛平原相,结合主、微量元素构造判别图解,认为下山剖面沉积物是在压扭作用下的山前凹陷盆地构造环境中形成。     

黄河流域城市绿地生态需水时空特征分析

界定了城市绿地生态需水和生态灌溉需水的内涵与特征,构建了城市绿地生态需水和生态灌溉需水的计算模型,对黄河流域45个地级以上城市的绿地生态需水与生态灌溉需水进行计算与分析.研究结果表明:①黄河流域城市绿地年生态需水量为44 749.7×104m3,年生态灌溉需水量为22 783.5×104m3.约占2000年黄河流域城市市区供水总量的4.85%.其中90.2%的生态灌溉需水集中在绿地植物的生长期(4～10月份);②植物需水和生态灌溉需水表现出不同的月变化趋势和空间分异规律.月生态灌溉需水的计算结果为黄河流域城市绿地生态用水的合理配置提供了科学依据.     

气候变化下汉江上游林地植被生态需水量的时空演变

研究气候变化下林地植被生态需水量的时空变化,对于保护涵养水源的林地植被系统,合理规划管理流域水资源有着重要作用。以汉江上游流域11个气象站点1971~2010年的气象资料为依据,采用结合[1]土壤含水量与植物类型修正蒸散发量得到植被生态需水量的方式,从时空角度定量研究了在生长季4~10月份流域林地植被生态需水量及其趋势性变化,并且分析了生态需水量对各气象因子变化的敏感性程度。结果表明:汉江上游流域林地植被多年平均生长季生态需水量为6.915 8×109 m3,整体上呈现非显著性增加趋势,在空间分布上具有明显的地带性特征。生态需水量对不同气象因子有不同程度的敏感性:最高温度水汽压太阳辐射风速最低温度,生态需水量对各气象因子敏感程度的地带性分布特征还与各区域的纬度、海拔、植被类型和下垫面情况有关。     

长江流域水生态保护利益补偿的法律调控

当前长江流域水生态补偿实践主要以水质、水量和水能三类可量化的流域生态资源开发利用的形态出现,是"流域生态效益补偿"模式,其目标利益是流域整体生态保护效益,通过政策或区域政府间的协议、以财政转移支付为手段完成政府、行政区域单元之间的利益传送,其实质是一种行政治理措施、是基于权力的利益矫正,并没有将该补偿资金精确对应到真正的利益供应主体或受害主体,也就没有完成利益归宿的最终分配。长江流域生态保护利益补偿应当在效益补偿的基础上发展"生态保护产权利益补偿"模式,使生态保护利益从生态效益的结果行为端向原因行为端传递;产权主体特定性的识别,产权利益行为(增益或损益)与流域生态效益的连接,以及涉水产权法定即利益法定是构建长江流域产权利益补偿的法律要素。     

Evolution of newspaper coverage of water issues in Australia during 1843–2011

News accounts both reflect and influence public opinion through their noted ‘agenda-setting’ capability. We examined newspaper articles in Australia’s The Sydney Morning Herald from 1843 to 2011 to observe the evolution of media coverage on water issues related to water resources management. The results showed that water supply-related articles have dominated the reporting of water issues since 1843. This emphasis is reflected in the institutions involved and their related policy/management initiatives, as well as the themes of the articles. Extreme events such as flooding and drought have punctuated the historical record of reports on water issues. An economic development-driven tone was overwhelmingly predominant in newspaper articles (85 % of the total); however, there has been a marked decline in the importance of development-driven tone relative to environmental-sustainability oriented tone of articles since 1994. People from academia and NGOs were rarely quoted. Inclusion of wider range stakeholders should be considered as a strategic break-through and natural events should be considered as an “opportunity” to change public opinion on water issues for environmental sustainability.     

石羊河流域多情景土地利用优化及碳储量评估

研究碳储量与土地利用变化的响应关系及空间分布特征,预测未来土地利用类型变化所导致的碳储量变化趋势,可为流域政策制定、土地利用结构调整和“双碳”目标的实现提供一定的借鉴. 基于2000年、2010年和2020年三期土地利用数据,运用InVEST模型和PLUS模型,开展石羊河流域2000~2020年间和2030年自然发展、城镇发展和生态保护这3种情景下土地利用变化及其对碳储量的影响研究. 研究发现：①2000~2020年石羊河流域主要土地利用类型是耕地、草地和未利用地,且耕地、水域和建设用地的面积呈增加趋势,其中建设用地面积增幅最大. ②较2020年,2030年自然发展情景下,耕地、水域和建设用地面积均有所增加,分别增加6.15%、9.56%和29.9%;在城镇发展情景下,建设用地面积增加最多;相比其他两种情景,在生态保护情景下林地和草地面积出现了增加. ③石羊河流域2000~2020年碳储量呈平稳增加的趋势,20年间增加了0.035×10⁸ t,主要源于耕地面积的增加. ④2030年自然发展、城镇发展和生态保护3种情景下石羊河流域的碳储量分别为5.65×10⁸、5.64×10⁸和5.73×10⁸ t,较2020年均有增加,其中生态保护情景下碳储量增加最多,主要是源于草地和林地面积的增加. 研究结果表明建设用地的扩张是造成碳储量流失的主要原因,若采取有效的生态保护措施将有助提高流域碳储量,可以解决由于经济发展而导致的碳储量流失问题.     

Spatially distributed pesticide exposure assessment in the Central Valley, California, USA

Field runoff is an important transport mechanism by which pesticides move into the hydrologic environment of intensive agricultural regions such as California's Central Valley. This study presents a spatially explicit modeling approach to extend Pesticide Root Zone Model (PRZM), a field-scale pesticide transport model, into basin level. The approach was applied to simulate chlorpyrifos use in the Central Valley during 2003-2007. The average value of loading as percent of use (LAPU) is 0.031%. Results of this study provide strong evidence that surface runoff generation and pesticide application timing are the two influencing factors on the spatial and temporal variability of chlorpyrifos sources from agricultural fields. This is one of the first studies in coupling GIS and field-scale models and providing simulations for the dynamics of pesticides over an agriculturally dominated landscape. The demonstrated modeling approach may be useful for implementations of best management practice (BMP) and total maximum daily load (TMDL).     

三峡水库156米蓄水位消落区植被恢复遥感动态监测研究

基于2007～2009年的Landsat5 TM、HJ 1A/1B CCD遥感数据,利用像元二分法对三峡水库156 m蓄水位消落区的植被覆盖度进行了计算,分析了消落区植被恢复的时空变化特征,探讨了植被恢复时空变化的影响因子。2007、2008、2009年3 a 156 m蓄水位消落区植被覆盖度分别为512%、515%、492%,其中支流消落区的植被覆盖度高于干流,这与地形条件有关,坡度的大小决定了消落区植被覆盖的空间差异。2008年与2007年消落区植被覆盖状况基本一致,而2009年的植被覆盖度低于之前两年,这与三峡大坝水位调度方案不同有关,退水较晚时,植被生长时间较短,其植被覆盖度较低。研究结果表明,在正常的调度、一定的地形条件下,淹没数月的消落区植被具有一定的自然萌生能力。     

Assessment of persistent organic pollutants in sediments from Lower Mekong River Basin

Organochlorine compounds (OCs) in sediments collected from various locations in Lower Mekong River Basin (MRB) in Laos and Thailand were examined to elucidate their occurrence, distribution and potential ecological risk. Concentration of PCBs and DDTs were higher than other OCs, ranging from 0.18 to 310 μg kg⁻¹ dry wt. and from 0.027 to 52 μg kg⁻¹ dry wt., respectively, whereas CHLs, HCHs and HCB were 1-3 orders of magnitude lower. Geographical distribution indicates that levels of PCBs, DDTs and CHLs in the Vientiane canal were significantly higher than those in mainstream of Mekong River, Phong River and its surrounding areas, indicating significant sources of these compounds in urbanized areas. Comparison with other parts of MRB indicates that PCBs were higher in Laos, whereas DDTs were more prevalent in Mekong Delta, indicating location specific contaminations of these compounds in MRB. The ratios of DDTs composition indicate possible difference in the historical input of DDT among locations in and around Mekong River. Hazard assessment of PCBs and DDTs indicate possible toxic potential particularly in areas close to point sources such as intensive human activities and agricultural areas which highlight the need for further study.
