一座南亚热带中富营养水库夏季浮游植物群落的稳态平衡分析

于2009年7月23日~9月12日(共8周)研究了广东省大沙河水库湖泊区表层5 m水柱浮游植物群落结构和演替过程及其环境影响因子.降雨明显分为二个阶段,前4周降雨丰富,后4周降雨稀少;水体的透明度与水温也相应地分为二个阶段,但营养盐水平没有明显的变化.平均N/P为33,而可溶解磷浓度很低,说明浮游植物的生长受磷的限制较为强烈.浮游植物种类分析中共检到藻类64种,生物量变化为0.95~2.03 mg L-1,主要由绿藻、甲藻和蓝藻组成.1~5周浮游植物的总生物量变化较大,后3周总生物量变化相对较小.在整个采样期间,光角角星鼓藻(Staurastrum muticum)为第一优势种,弯曲角星鼓藻藻(Staurastrum inflexum)为第二优势种(二者约占总生物量的70%);在1~5周第三个优势种的种类和生物量有较大的变化,6~8周第三优势种为飞燕角甲藻(Ceratium hirundinella)且前3个优势种的组成和生物量较稳定(共占到总生物量的80%以上),群落结构处于稳态平衡状态.降雨带来的干扰是影响浮游植物群落稳态平衡的主要因子.当降雨的干扰结束后,浮游植物之间通过1周左右的竞争,浮游植物群落达到稳态平衡.     

GRAZED STUBBLE HEIGHT AS A CRITERION FOR CONTROLLING SEDIMENT PRODUCTION FROM GRAZING LANDS1

ABSTRACT: Efforts by state and federal agencies to develop standards and guidelines for protecting and enhancing water quality on grazing lands have led to suggestions that grazed stubble height criteria could be used to determine when cattle should be removed from a specific pasture or grazing area. Until recently only indirect scientific evidence from agronomy and laboratory studies gave support to the stubble height concept. Consequently, a grazing study was initiated on a Montana ranch in 1997 to determine the reduction in overland sediment achieved by grazing a pasture to a predetermined stubble height. Treatments consisted of 7 cm (3 in) grazed, 7 cm (3 in) clipped or mowed, 15 cm (6 in) grazed; 15 cm (6 in) clipped and untreated or natural forage plant height. The five treatments were used in a two‐year trial spanning 1997 to 1999. At the conclusion of this study the magnitude of sediment production was related to the number of intense rain events during the March through June period rather than total precipitation. There was a significant year effect in terms of sediment accumulation (P < 0.01) but no year by treatment effect (P = 0.11). Even though a significant difference in sediment accumulation was detected between the shorter and taller stubble heights (P = 0.04) in both 1998 and 1999, the difference could not be explained by grazed stubble height alone. Close grazing (7 cm stubble) consistently ranked lowest in sediment production (P < 0.01) among all treatments, including the ungrazed control. These results suggest that changes in plant community structure and microtopographic caused by grazing influence sediment entrapment (retention) on hillslopes more than those caused by plant height.     

Challenges to Introducing and Managing Disturbance Regimes for Holocarpha macradenia, an Endangered Annual Grassland Forb

Abstract:  Introducing rare plants to new sites for conservation to offset effects of habitat destruction requires detailed knowledge of habitat requirements, plant demography, and management needs. We conducted a factorial experiment replicated at three coastal prairie sites to test the effects of clipping frequency and litter accumulation on seed germination, seedling survival, reproduction, and seedling recruitment of introduced populations of the endangered, tall-stature, annual forb, Holocarpha macradenia (DC.) E. Greene. Clipping favored H. macradenia , primarily by enhancing seed germination and flower production. Litter accumulation had no effect on seed germination, even after 5 years of treatments. Seedling recruitment was highly site specific with large numbers of recruits recorded at only one of three sites. Although recruitment of seedlings was higher in clipped plots for 2–3 years, by 4–5 years after introduction very few seedlings survived to reproduction in any treatment. We attribute this result to a combination of poor habitat quality, small population size, and lack of a seed bank. We were unsuccessful in introducing this relatively well-studied species of concern to apparently suitable habitat at multiple sites in multiple years, which suggests that translocating rare plant populations to mitigate for habitat destruction is an expensive and highly uncertain endeavor.     

Rodent Communities in an Exurbanizing Southwestern Landscape (U.S.A.)

Abstract:  Ranches are being converted to exurban housing developments in the southwestern United States, with potentially significant but little-studied impacts on biological diversity. We captured rodents on 48 traplines in grasslands, mesquite savannas, and oak savannas in southeastern Arizona that were grazed by livestock, embedded in exurban housing developments, grazed and embedded in development, or neither grazed nor embedded in development. Independent of habitat or development, rodent species richness, mean rank abundance, and capture rates of all rodents combined were negatively related to presence of livestock grazing or to its effects on vegetative ground cover. Exurban development had no obvious effects on rodent variety or abundance. Results suggest southwestern exurban developments can sustain a rich assemblage of grassland and savanna rodents if housing densities are low and houses are embedded in a matrix of natural vegetation with little grazing.     

风浪模拟扰动下梅梁湾沉积物的实验研究

在太湖梅梁湾采取沉积物原状芯样,利用沉积物再悬浮振荡器,以100r/min的步长逐步增大隔栅的振荡频率使其在0-800r/min范围内振荡,进行0-0.53N/m2底部切应力条件下的沉积物悬浮模拟实验,揭示上覆水中悬浮颗粒物(SPM)、上覆水中可溶性磷(SRP)以及因扰动引起悬浮的颗粒物生物可利用磷(BAP)与切应力水平之间的关系。扰动实验结果表明:(1)上覆水中SPM的含量随切应力的增加而增大,呈现指数上升趋势,采样点沉积物的临界切应力为0.12N/m2。(2)扰动过程中,上覆水中的SRP含量随切应力增加而增大,悬浮颗粒物BAP的含量随切应力的增加而减小,且较大的切应力对SRP和BAP含量产生的影响程度明显大于较小的切应力。(3)上覆水中SRP的含量在临界切应力0.12N/m2后明显上升,悬浮颗粒物BAP的含量在临界切应力0.12N/m2时急剧下降,临界切应力对悬浮过程中营养盐磷的释放影响很大。     

生物洞穴影响的黄河口粉质土优势流及其效应研究

生物扰动对沉积物性质的改变已越来越受国际地圈生物圈计划的关心.通过高密度电阻率法和示踪剂相结合的方法,监测了室内模拟黄河口生物洞穴影响非饱和粉土的渗流.从入渗的电剖面特征分析,发现渗流主要发生在生物洞穴形成的大孔隙通道中,而周围基质中的渗流很弱,即黄河口粉土的生物洞穴中存在优势流.优势流在细粒土的垂直迁移中有重要作用,同时也改变了大孔隙周围土体的基本性质,如密度、含水量、强度、颗粒组成以及电导率等.优势通道在入渗过程中可增加周围土体的含水量,但在排水的过程中也可增加周围土体的排水能力,具有增水和排水的双重效应.     

生物膜法应用于海河流域湿地生态系统健康评价展望

海河流域是我国人为干扰最为强烈的流域之一,流域内许多湿地的结构功能受损严重,鱼类、底栖生物、大型水生植物缺失,因此鱼类、底栖生物完整性指数(F-IBI,B-IBI)不适用于严重受损的湿地健康评价,在流域尺度上应用具有局限性,而生物膜广泛存在于任何水体中,可以用于流域尺度的湿地健康评价.本文根据生物完整性指数理论,在生物膜基本特征和人为干扰对生物膜的效应机制分析基础上,分析了生物膜评价湿地健康研究进展,探讨了生物膜方法应用于强人为干扰下海河流域湿地生态系统健康评价的可行性和应用前景.并从生物膜整合、尺度转换、健康标准制定、主要影响因子和装置与方法改进5个方面对生物膜法应用于海河流域湿地健康评价进行了展望,以期为海河流域的生态修复和环境管理提供新的思路和方法.

农产品质量安全内部协调度和耦合度测算及影响因素分析

在讨论农产品质量安全内涵的基础上,构建了农产品数量安全和质量安全指标体系,基于熵值法、CRITIC法、Ganger因果检验和回归分析等方法,使用2005—2018年中国时序数据,测度农产品质量安全的耦合度和协调度,并对农产品质量安全内部协调度的农业要素投入和管制导向影响进行了研究。研究表明：农产品质量安全内部存在相对单向的扰动,属于数量安全高于质量安全的非均衡体系;农产品质量安全内部呈现出高度的内部耦合,但发展协调度不高;化学品投入和产业投入对农产品质量安全内部协调发展具有推动作用,其他要素投入影响不明显;管制导向对农产品质量安全内部协调度有积极影响,其中,农业支持保护补贴和地理标志农产品登记数量的正向影响最大。未来应该通过优化管制效能,不断提高技术投入等要素的投入效率。     

不同水力扰动强度对老化PSMPs在泥水两相间迁移的影响

以太湖为研究对象,针对老化聚苯乙烯微塑料（PSMPs）,探讨了水力扰动强度对PSMPs在泥水两相间的迁移过程,并通过FTIR和SEM-EDS等微观表征手段对PSMPs的形貌和元素等进行表征.结果发现,扰动条件下(55r·min^-1和120r·min^-1),上覆水中悬浮物（SS）和PSMPs均高于对照实验.这是缘于无扰动条件下,PSMPs受浮力影响,团聚在水面.在低强度(55r·min^-1)扰动下,上覆水中SS和PSMPs分别为（264.67±16.01）mg·L^-1和（239.67±6.51）n·mL^-1,而高强度(120r·min^-1)扰动下,上覆水中SS和PSMPs分别为（264.67±16.01）mg·L^-1和（239.67±6.51）n·mL^-1.在底泥中,PSMPs分别为（491.00±23.46）mg·L^-1和2.00n·mL^-1.且根据SEM-EDS分析,...
