荒漠草原土壤线虫对氮沉降及降雨变化的响应

为了解氮沉降和降雨变化对短花针茅荒漠草原土壤线虫的影响,试验设计采用主区为增雨30%（W）和减雨30%（R）、自然降雨（CK）3种水分处理,副区为0（N0）、30（N30）、50（N50）和100（N100） kg/（hm²·a）4个氮素梯度共12个处理.结果表明：研究区共鉴定土壤线虫隶属41属,群落优势属为丽突属（Acrobeles）和拟丽突属（Acrobeloides）,增雨较氮添加显著增加了线虫数量,且在10月份尤为明显,减雨下N50梯度更利于线虫数量增加;从功能类群来看,土壤0~10cm食细菌线虫数量最多（占总数41.00%~45.56%）,并随季节动态呈上升趋势,捕杂食线虫数量最低,食细菌和食真菌线虫与氮梯度呈负相关关系;从生态指数来看,仅增雨抑制了土壤线虫多样性,单一氮添加没有改变线虫群落多样性和稳定性,但较低的氮添加会显著降低了线虫丰富度.不同季节动态处理下,土壤矿化途径受食微线虫的影响,有机质以真菌降解通道为主,减雨施氮下提高了土壤抗干扰能力;pH值、有机质、铵态氮含量是影响土壤线虫群落重要的环境因子,土壤氮含量增多及pH值降低增加了偏K策略者类群数量,降低R对策者类群数量,土壤线虫群落结构的变化,表明短花针茅荒漠草原生态系统地下食物网稳定性渐趋增强.     

The Atmosphere can be a Source of Certain Water Soluble Volatile Organic Compounds in Urban Streams

Surface water and air volatile organic compound (VOC) data from 10 U.S. Geological Survey monitoring sites were used to evaluate the potential for direct transport of VOCs from the atmosphere to urban streams. Analytical results of 87 VOC compounds were screened by evaluating the occurrence and detection levels in both water and air, and equilibrium concentrations in water (C_w^s) based on the measured air concentrations. Four compounds (acetone, methyl tertiary butyl ether, toluene, and m‐ & p‐xylene) were detected in more than 20% of water samples, in more than 10% of air samples, and more than 10% of detections in air were greater than long‐term method detection levels (LTMDL) in water. Benzene was detected in more than 20% of water samples and in more than 10% of air samples. Two percent of benzene detections in air were greater than one‐half the LTMDL in water. Six compounds (chloroform, p‐isopropyltoluene, methylene chloride, perchloroethene, 1,1,1‐trichloroethane, and trichloroethene) were detected in more than 20% of water samples and in more than 10% of air samples. Five VOCs, toluene, m‐ & p‐xylene, methyl tert‐butyl ether (MTBE), acetone, and benzene were identified as having sufficiently high concentrations in the atmosphere to be a source to urban streams. MTBE, acetone, and benzene exhibited behavior that was consistent with equilibrium concentrations in the atmosphere.     

PCDDs, PCDFs emission control by dry scrubbing system

Presently, in Japan there are no limitations on the emission of PCDDs or PCDFs, but in order to study the feasibility of dry type air pollution control, a pilot plant was constructed in 1988 and the removal efficiencies for PCDDs, acid gas and heavy metals were measured.At the same time PCDDs concentration was compared with that of a previously installed electrostatic precipitator (ESP) plus wet scrubber line.In this paper, the following two items are reported.

1. (1) The difference in the amounts of PCDDs and PCDFs produced due to differences in gas temperature and retention time in ESP and fabric filter (FF).

2. (2) Removal efficiencies of PCDDs and PCDFs of fabric filter.

PCDDs concentration, generally 100–200 ng/Nm³ at the boiler outlet (ESP inlet and/or Quench Reactor (QR) inlet), increased several times at the ESP outlet, but it showed almost no increase at the QR outlet due to a sudden temperature drop. The temperature was 280–310°C, and the gas retention time was 12 sec. during passage through ESP so that it is thought that PCDD was formed under these conditions.On the other hand, a removal efficiency of approx. 90% was obtained with the fabric filter, and the PCDD at the bag outlet was at a sufficiently low level.     

太原市五年降尘及降水中主要离子特征

随着我国工业化和城镇化的深入推进,人们对城市大气环境质量关注日益增加。连续五年对山西省太原市5个点位进行监测,考察降水中主要离子时间变异及大气干湿沉降规律。结果表明:太原市五个监测点年均干沉降量排序为太钢工业区坞城(东)桃园(市中)晋祠(景区)上兰(市郊),其中太钢年均沉降量是上兰的三倍。降尘量除了在不同点位差异较大外,相同点上不同季节也有较大波动,表现为各监测点春季和冬季降尘量为全年最高。而夏季由于降雨较多,干沉降最少。总体上,近五年各点干沉降量呈现逐年下降的趋势。湿沉降方面以桃园为市区代表分析,SO_4~(2-)、NO_3~-、Ca~(2+)和NH_4~+是太原市桃园降水中主要的无机离子,其加权平均浓度范围为3.1～19 mg/L,各离子浓度在干燥的冬春季较高,且近五年其浓度及沉降量快速增加。桃园降雨中SO_4~(2-)和NO_3~-仍然是最主要的致酸离子,SO_4~(2-)年均沉降量分别是NO_3~-、Ca~(2+)和NH_4~+的1.7、3.9、5.9倍。Ca~(2+)、NH_4~+和Mg~(2+)的中和因子分别是0.42、0.30、0.14,说明Ca~(2+)、NH_4~+对酸雨缓冲作用大于Mg~(2+)。2013～2017年太原市桃园降雨SO_4~(2-)/NO_3~-和NH_4~+/NO_3~-比值分别为1.7和0.3,表明酸雨类型由硫酸型向混合型发展,主要是近年来NO_3~-浓度增幅大于SO_4~(2-)和NH_4~+。总的来看,近些年太原市政府大力提倡节能减排带来明显效果,但工业厂矿区周边降尘污染依然严重,属于今后城市环境治理的重点。     

我国亚热带丘陵地区流域氮素的平衡与源汇特征

以位于北亚热带丘陵地区不同利用条件下的2个相邻小流域(F:森林、FA:森林/农田)为研究区域,2007年3月～2009年2月通过定期监测雨水和径流水以及对其NH 4+-N和NO 3--N的测定,分析了流域氮素的平衡与源汇特征.结果表明,雨水中无机氮的输入量为16.72 kg.(hm2.a)-1,NH 4+-N占56%;2个小流域(F、FA)径流水中无机氮的输出量分别为5.31kg.(hm2.a)-1和8.21 kg.(hm2.a)-1,NO 3--N占75%～82%,流域内农业活动加剧了径流水中氮素的输出.大气干湿沉降输入的无机氮总量为20.06～23.41 kg.(hm2.a)-1,约占当地氮肥施用量13%～15%.2个小流域(F、FA)由于氮沉降及其转化产生的H+量分别为355 mol.(hm2.a)-1和461 mol.(hm2.a)-1,流域内农业活动在一定程度上加速了土壤酸化进程.流域氮素收支平衡表明2个小流域(F、FA)氮素净滞留量分别为13.35～16.70 kg.(hm2.a)-1和17.89～23.38 kg.(hm2.a)-1,受到农业活动影响的流域(FA)氮素的净滞留率(33%～40%)远比森林流域(F)(65%～70%)低,表明我国亚热带地区以森林为主的流域目前仍具有氮汇作用,但流域内农业活动降低了生态系统的氮汇潜力.     

Study of Bulk and Sub-Event Wet Deposition in Gebze,Turkey

This study presents the chemical composition of bulk deposition during the period of February 1996–May 1997 and the chemical composition of sub-event wet deposition on 13 August 1997 in Gebze. Samples were analyzed for SO₄ ^2-, NO₃ ^-, Cl^-,Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺, K⁺, Na⁺, and NH₄ ⁺ in addition to pH. The source of some ionic components in the bulk deposition such as K⁺ and Ca²⁺ were found to be the terrestrial regions, as expected. The (non-sea Cl^-)/Cl^- ratio of 0.05 suggests that the very large portion of Cl^- in the bulkdeposition was of marine origin. The ratio of (non-sea SO₄ ^2-)/SO₄ ^2- varied between 0.86 and 0.99,indicating that the main source of sulfate was not the sea. It is found that the sulfate and calcium concentrations were highest in summer and lowest in fall. The analysis of bulk deposition also indicated that nearly 24% of the events were acidic (pH < 5.6). During sub-event wet deposition collectedon the same site pH decreased continually, and during the passageof cold front concentrations of Cl^-, SO₄ ^2- and NO₃ ^- increased.

Computing Atmospheric Nutrient Loads to the Chesapeake Bay Watershed and Tidal Waters

Application of integrated Chesapeake Bay models of the airshed, watershed, and estuary support air and water nitrogen controls in the Chesapeake. The models include an airshed model of the Mid‐Atlantic region which tracks the estimated atmospheric deposition loads of nitrogen to the watershed, tidal Bay, and adjacent coastal ocean. The three integrated models allow tracking of the transport and fate of nitrogen air emissions, including deposition in the Chesapeake watershed, the subsequent uptake, transformation, and transport to Bay tidal waters, and their ultimate influence on Chesapeake water quality. This article describes the development of the airshed model, its application to scenarios supporting the Chesapeake Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL), and key findings from the scenarios. Key findings are that the atmospheric deposition loads are among the largest input loads of nitrogen in the watershed, and that the indirect nitrogen deposition loads to the watershed, which are subsequently delivered to the Bay are larger than the direct loads of atmospheric nitrogen deposition to Chesapeake tidal waters. Atmospheric deposition loads of nitrogen deposited in coastal waters, which are exchanged with the Chesapeake, are also estimated. About half the atmospheric deposition loads of nitrogen originate from outside the Chesapeake watershed. For the first time in a TMDL, the loads of atmospheric nitrogen deposition are an explicit part of the TMDL load reductions.     

Hysteresis in Reversal of Central European Mountain Lakes from Atmospheric Acidification

Extremely high emissions of S and N compounds in Central Europe (both 280 mmol m^-2 yr^-1) declined by 70and 35%, respectively, during the last decade. Decreaseddeposition rates of SO₄ ^-2, NO₃ ^-, and NH₄ ⁺ in the region paralleled emission declines. The reduction in atmospheric inputs of S and N to mountain ecosystemshas resulted in a pronounced reversal of acidification in the Tatra Mountains and Bohemian Forest lakes. Between the 1987–1990and 1997–1999 periods, concentrations of SO₄ ^-2 and NO₃ ^- decreased (average ± standard deviation) by 22±7 and 12±7 mol L^-1, respectively, in theTatra Mountains, and by 19±7 and 15±10 mol L^-1, respectively, in the Bohemian Forest. Their decrease was compensated in part (1) by a decrease in Ca²⁺ + Mg²⁺ (17±7 mol L^-1) and H⁺ (4±6 mol L^-1), and an increase in HCO₃ ^-(10±10 mol L^-1) in the Tatra Mountains lakes, and (2) by a decrease in Al (7±4 mol L^-1), Ca²⁺ + Mg²⁺ (9±6 mol L^-1), and H⁺ (6±5 mol L^-1), in Bohemian Forest lakes. Despite the rapid decline in lake water concentrations of SO₄ ^-2 and NO₃ ^- in response to reduced S and N emissions, their present concentrations in some lakes are higher than predictionsbased on observed concentrations at comparable emission rates during development of acidification. This hysteresis in chemical reversal from acidification has delayed biological recovery of the lakes. The only unequivocal sign of biological recovery hasbeen observed in erné Lake (Bohemian Forest) where a cladoceran species Ceriodaphnia quadrangular has recentlyreached its pre-acidification abundance.     

Correction Factors for Covariance between Concentration and Deposition Velocity on CASTNes HNO3 Deposition Estimates

The covariance between hourly concentration (C) and depositionvelocity (V) for various atmospheric species may act to bias the dry deposition (D) computed from the product of the weeklyaverage C and V. This is a potential problem for the CASTNet filter pack (FP) species, nitric acid (HNO₃). Using ozone (O₃) behavior as a surrogate for HNO₃, correctionfactors (CF) are developed to estimate this bias. Weekly CF for O₃ depend on both site and season, and seasonal average weekly CF for O₃ at a given site may be as high as 1.25.The seasonal magnitude of this CF is generally largest in summerand is ordered: summer fall spring > winter. The CF is drivento a large extent by the diurnal correlation between C andV (i.e., both are generally higher during the day and lower at night). However, since the diurnal C profile at elevated sites is relatively constant, the resulting correlation between C and V is small, and the CF at montane sites is generally negligiblysmall. The sampling protocol using daytime integrated sampling for a week and nighttime integrated sampling for a week capturesthe diurnal correlation between C and V adequately and may be used to aggregate relatively unbiased weekly D estimates. Day-night CF for O₃ are close to unity, and limited results suggest similar behavior for HNO₃. Using these limited FP results, the site- and seasonally-specific weekly CF forO₃are refined to estimate the corresponding CF for HNO₃. Worst-case adjustments for HNO₃ as high as 30% are indicated for summer periods at a given site.
