辽东湾河口区海洋垃圾赋存特征及管理对策

海洋垃圾已引起国际社会的广泛关注,是当前环境领域热点问题之一.为揭示我国渤海近岸海域海洋垃圾的赋存特征及其分布规律,于2018年丰水期（8月）在辽东湾河口区海域布设6个长度为5~10 km的调查断面,利用拖网同时采集海面漂浮垃圾与海底垃圾,初步调查辽东湾近岸海域海洋垃圾分布和组成特征,并对海洋垃圾来源进行了分析.结果表明:①辽东湾海面漂浮垃圾数量密度为67个/km2,质量密度为741 g/km2;海底垃圾数量密度为19个/km2,质量密度为2 544 g/km2.②在所收集的各类海洋垃圾中,塑料类垃圾数量占比约为50.9%,其中海底塑料类垃圾数量占比（62.1%）明显高于海面漂浮塑料垃圾数量占比（37.5%）.③由塑料垃圾形态特征和表面带有的标识判断,辽东湾近岸海域塑料垃圾主要是来源于生活塑料垃圾（84.9%）和渔业垃圾（15.1%）.在此基础上,建议加强源头管理以减少塑料垃圾进入海洋,主要包括完善当前海洋垃圾分类方法、加强渔业塑料垃圾回收、提升公民保护海洋环境意识和制定国家海洋塑料垃圾行动计划等.      

川西亚高山针叶林人工恢复过程的土壤性性质变化

研究川西岷江上游高山针叶林区不同年龄阶段的人工云杉林地凋落物及其养分贮量和土壤养分及主要理化性质的变化趋势,结果表明：（1）人工云杉林的凋落物及其氮、磷、钾贮量、以60年代抚育成熟林最高,40年代抚育成熟林大幅度下降,分别下降34．1％及49．8％,70．5％,46．7％;（2）人工云杉林地表土的有机质、全氮、全磷随林龄的增加而降低,据典型土壤剖面资料,40年代比60年代抚育林土壤分别降低72．4％,78．6％,42．2％;（3）相应于土壤有机质的变化,与60年代人工云杉成熟林相比,40年代成熟林土壤的自然含水量、总孔工、保肥力（CEC）和交换性盐某养分等均明显降低,表现出肥力退化的趋势,因此,当人工云杉林达到成熟林后,后采取诸如适当间伐等措施,以改善林地生态条件,避免土壤肥力退化,图4表6参11。     

粤北亚热带山地森林土壤有机碳沿海拔梯度的变化

选择位于南岭国家级自然保护区的广东第一峰——石坑崆,从海拔300 m起到山顶部1 900 m范围,每隔100 m高程设置1条10 m×120 m的样带,共17条样带,研究土壤有机碳含量沿海拔梯度的变化规律及其与植被类型和凋落物层厚度的关系。结果表明,0～20 cm和>20～40 cm土层有机碳含量均随海拔梯度变化呈极显著差异(P<0.001),并随林分类型不同而呈高度显著差异(P<0.01),土壤有机碳含量总体上呈随海拔上升而升高的变化趋势。凋落物层厚度仅对0～20 cm土层有机碳含量有显著影响(P<0.05)。可见,海拔梯度变化是影响土壤有机碳含量的综合和主导因素,而最表层土壤有机碳含量还易受林分因子的影响,这些因子反映了土地利用变化及自然保护历史。该研究结果提示,减少人类活动的干扰和保持林地适合的凋落物层厚度有助于增加森林生态系统的碳储量。     

The effect of temperature on leaching and subsequent decomposition of dissolved carbon from inundated floodplain litter: implications for the generation of hypoxic blackwater in lowland floodplain rivers

Dissolved organic carbon export from floodplain litter during flood events is an important energy subsidy for lowland rivers. Temperature affects both the release and decomposition of dissolved organic carbon from floodplain plant litter. Unseasonally warm flood conditions have resulted in the release and consumption of carbon at a rate so rapid that water column oxygen has been depleted, causing the death of aquatic organisms upon exposure to this ‘hypoxic blackwater’. To date, there has not been a systematic investigation of the role of temperature on hypoxic blackwater dynamics. In a series of laboratory experiments, we investigated the temperature dependence of both leaching and decomposition of carbon from a common floodplain litter component in south-eastern Australia – the leaves of the river red gum Eucalyptus camaldulensis. The leaching rate increased with temperature and approximated Arrhenius kinetics. Additionally, the solubility of the leaf carbon increased substantially at temperatures above ～25°C. The rate of organic carbon respiration also increased with temperature, and the relationship with temperature was approximately linear. These data can be used to improve models for the prediction of hypoxic blackwater risk.     

高山森林溪流凋落叶冬季水溶性碳含量动态

凋落物分解过程中水溶性碳是高山森林溪流生态系统碳的重要来源,其在溪流中的流动转移不仅会影响下游水质环境,而且其含量动态受冬季季节性雪被形成及消融过程的深刻影响,但缺乏必要关注.因此,采用凋落叶分解袋法,以川西高山森林典型乔木(四川红杉Larix mastersiana、方枝柏Sabina saltuaria)和灌木(高山杜鹃Rhododendron lapponicum、康定柳Salix paraplesia)凋落叶为研究对象,根据凋落叶自然分解规律,研究冬季不同时期(冻结初期、冻结期、融化期)河流、溪流、河岸带以及林下凋落叶水溶性碳以及可溶性组分含量格局的动态变化特征.结果表明:在冬季的分解过程中,冻结初期河流与溪流中凋落叶水溶性碳与可溶性组分含量显著降低,而至冻结期与融化期含量均无明显变化.各时期,林下凋落叶水溶性碳和可溶性组分含量显著高于其他生境,表现为从河流、溪流、河岸带至林下逐渐增加的变化趋势.相关分析表明,高山森林凋落叶分解过程中水溶性碳和可溶性组分含量与平均温度、正积温、负积温以及流速均呈极显著负相关关系,同样也受到PO3-4和p H等水环境因子的影响.可见,高山森林凋落叶冬季水溶性碳和可溶性组分在分解过程中易随水体的流动而向下游生态系统输出,这为深入认识高山森林-流域水体间的生态联系提供了一定的科学依据.     

城市污泥及落叶蚯蚓处理最优条件因子实验研究

蚯蚓的环境生态作用具有促进微生物和其他土壤动物活动、消化分解土壤中重金属的功能,并且能够破碎与分解枯落物。通过城市污泥和城市落叶发酵后建立起蚯蚓养殖基床,以赤子爱胜蚓为主体,通过蚯蚓对污泥中重金属的富集作用实现城市污泥无害化,达到城市污泥与落叶资源化的目的。通过设计四因子四水平正交试验探索赤子爱胜蚓处理城市污泥及落叶的最优条件组合。实验结果表明:在落叶添加比例为35%,蚓床湿度为75%,培养温度为14℃,饲养密度为32mg/g时,赤子爱胜蚓对城市污泥和落叶的处理指标达到峰值,蚯蚓床对于污泥中重金属Cu和Zn的富集量分别为274.32μg/箱和420.98μg/箱,处理效果最佳。     

Effects of intense agricultural practices on heterotrophic processes in streams

In developed countries, changes in agriculture practices have greatly accelerated the degradation of the landscape and the functioning of adjacent aquatic ecosystems. Such alteration can in turn impair the services provided by aquatic ecosystems, namely the decomposition of organic matter, a key process in most small streams. To study this alteration, we recorded three measures of heterotrophic activity corresponding to microbial hydrolasic activity (FDA hydrolysis) and leaf litter breakdown rates with (k_c) and without invertebrates (k_f) along a gradient of contrasted agricultural pressures. Hydrolasic activity and k_f reflect local/microhabitat conditions (i.e. nutrient concentrations and organic matter content of the sediment) but not land use while k_c reflects land-use conditions. k_c, which is positively correlated with the biomass of Gammaridae, significantly decreased with increasing agricultural pressure, contrary to the taxonomic richness and biomass of Trichoptera and Plecoptera. Gammaridae may thus be considered a key species for organic matter recycling in agriculture-impacted streams.     

Methyl chloride emissions from halophyte leaf litter: dependence on temperature and chloride content

Methyl chloride (CH₃Cl) is the most abundant natural chlorine containing compound in the atmosphere, and responsible for a significant fraction of stratospheric ozone destruction. Understanding the global CH₃Cl budget is therefore of great importance. However, the strength of the individual sources and sinks is still uncertain. Leaf litter is a potentially important source of methyl chloride, but factors controlling the emissions are unclear. This study investigated CH₃Cl emissions from leaf litter of twelve halophyte species. The emissions were not due to biological activity, and emission rates varied between halophyte species up to two orders of magnitude. For all species, the CH₃Cl emission rates increased with temperature following the Arrhenius relation. Activation energies were similar for all investigated plant species, indicating that even though emissions vary largely between plant species, their response to changing temperatures is similar. The chloride and methoxyl group contents of the leaf litter samples were determined, but those parameters were not significantly correlated to the CH₃Cl emission rate.     

猪场生物发酵床垫料卫生研究

通过选择有3个采用发酵床养猪模式的猪场,采集不同使用年限、不同深度及饲养不同阶段猪舍的发酵床垫料,通过测定水分、总N、总P、可溶性盐、黄曲霉毒素B1(AFB1)、枯草芽孢杆菌和大肠杆菌数目、Cu和Zn含量(全重金属及有效态重金属)评估垫料的卫生学状况.并将垫料与土壤以不同比例混合,研究对植物生长及Cu、Zn在植株中残留影响.研究表明,发酵床垫料随着深度增加,垫料的水分含量逐渐降低,温度逐渐升高,大肠杆菌、枯草芽孢杆菌数量减少.随着发酵床使用年限的延长,总N随垫料使用时间延长而变低,而总P含量随时间延长而增加,但变化均不显著(P＞0.05);Cu、Zn、Pb、可溶性盐含量都呈现显著的增加(P＜0.05).在1年、2年、3年期的垫料中AFB1均有检出,含量均小于10 μg/kg.种植实验结果显示,土壤添加垫料后,Cu、Zn含量随着添加比例增加而增加,植物中残留量随着垫料添加比例的增加而增加.因此在处理发酵床垫料时,要综合考虑其对环境及食品安全的影响.     

The Importance of Leaching from Litter Collected in Litterfall Traps

Litterfall (LF) is usually collected by means of opentraps. However, this litter will be subject toleaching by the throughfall which passes through theaccumulated litter in the traps. The nutrients lostduring this leaching are not taken into account in thecalculation of LF nutrient fluxes. We report theresults from a 2-month (August–September) studycarried out in 8 northern coniferous forest stands toassess the possible importance of leaching from litterin LF traps. Compared to throughfall (TF), thelitterfall leachate (LFL_gross), which includes athroughfall component, had significantly (p < 0.05)higher concentrations and fluxes of Ca, Mg, Na and S.The average net LFL (i.e., LFL_net = LFL_gross-TF) fluxes were 21 (Ca), 7 (Mg), 57 (K), 10 (Na), 10 (N), and 19 (S) mg m^-2 mo^-1. LFL_net accounted for 42%, 37% and 50% of the LFL_gross flux, and for 91%, 51% and 49% of the total litterfall flux (i.e.,LF + LFL_net) of Na, S and K, respectively. ForCa, Mg and N, the LFL_net flux accounted for 64%,58% and 29% of the LFL_gross flux, and for< 14% of the total litterfall flux. Compared to TF,LF was the dominant return pathway for Ca, Mg and N tothe forest floor regardless of whether LFL_net wasincluded or not. However, for K and S, takingLFL_net into account determined whether TF or LFwas the dominant pathway. TF remained the dominantpathway for Na even when LFL_net was included.
