乌梁素海沉积物中营养盐分布特征与固碳能力

通过2008—2011年连续现场采样和室内实验分析,研究了乌梁素海沉积物营养盐的分布特征以及固碳功能.结果发现,乌梁素海沉积物中氮与有机碳水平分布具有相同规律,总磷水平分布差异较大,揭示了沉积环境和水动力条件对磷在沉积物中的累积具有一定影响,也在一定程度上反映了磷来源的多样性.在垂直方向上,总氮、有机碳、硝态氮规律明显,随深度增加有递减的趋势,而总磷和氨氮垂直分布差异性显著,表明其与环境因素和早期演化和成岩作用有关.乌梁素海沉积物中C:N:P=20.2:4.5:1,小于Redfield比(C:N:P=106:16:1).沉积物中总氮与有机碳有明显的正相关性,而总磷与有机碳无相关性.乌梁素海沉积物有机碳沉积速率为169.55 g·m-2·a-1,有机碳密度为5.70 kg·m-2.30 cm深度沉积物中,碳储量为134.39×104t,存在很大的固碳潜力,这对于调节气候变化和维护湖泊区域生态平衡具有重要潜能.     

Community Tolerance Comparison As A New and Sensitive Ecotoxicological Tool

The demonstration of an increased tolerance to a pollutant is direct evidence that this pollutant has presented a selection pressure upon a population or community. Recently, pollution-induced community tolerance (PICT) has been applied to the benthic community in a metal-enriched estuary to establish causal linkage between observed changes in community structure and composition and the presence of copper. This paper describes the rationale and methodology behind applying PICT to the marine benthic environment, and shows it to be a sensitive ecotoxicological tool. It also presents a case study, demonstrating how a PICT investigation has aided the interpretation of changes in a benthic community, establishing a causal linkage between these changes in the community and the presence of a specific pollutant.     

Use of the MicroResp™ method to assess pollution-induced community tolerance to metals for lotic biofilms

Understanding the ecological status of aquatic ecosystems and the impact of anthropogenic contamination requires correlating exposure to toxicants with impact on biological communities. Several tools exist for assessing the ecotoxicity of substances, but there is still a need for new tools that are ecologically relevant and easy to use. We have developed a protocol based on the substrate-induced respiration of a river biofilm community, using the MicroResp™ technique, in a pollution-induced community tolerance approach. The results show that MicroResp™ can be used in bioassays to assess the toxicity toward biofilm communities of a wide range of metals (Cu, Zn, Cd, Ag, Ni, Fe, Co, Al and As). Moreover, a community-level physiological profile based on the mineralization of different carbon substrates was established. Finally, the utility of MicroResp™ was confirmed in an in-situ study showing gradient of tolerance to copper correlated to a contamination gradient of this metal in a small river.     

Assessing the toxicity of sodium chloride to the glochidia of freshwater mussels: implications for salinization of surface waters

Chloride concentrations in surface waters have increased significantly, a rise attributed to road salt use. In Canada, this may be a concern for endangered freshwater mussels, many with ranges limited to southern Ontario, Canada’s most road-dense region. The acute toxicity of NaCl was determined for glochidia, the mussel’s larval stage. The 24 h EC50s of four (including two Canadian endangered) species ranged from 113-1430 mg Cl L⁻¹ (reconstituted water, 100 mg CaCO₃ L⁻¹). To determine how mussels would respond to a chloride pulse, natural river water (hardness 278-322 mg CaCO₃ L⁻¹) was augmented with salt. Lampsilis fasciola glochidia were significantly less sensitive to salt in natural water (EC50s 1265-1559 mg Cl L⁻¹) than in reconstituted water (EC50 285 mg L⁻¹). Chloride data from mussel habitats revealed chloride reaches levels acutely toxic to glochidia (1300 mg L⁻¹). The increased salinization of freshwater could negatively impact freshwater mussels, including numerous species at risk.

拟南芥VTE1过量表达可以增加维生素E含量和提高烟草植株耐盐性

维生素E在动物细胞内具有抗氧化等重要作用,但在植物体内的功能却鲜为人知.本实验利用CaMV35S启动子与来源于拟南芥的编码生育酚环化酶(TC)的cDNA(VTE1)构建的嵌合表达载体,以根癌农杆菌介导的叶盘法转化烟草W38.实验结果表明,具有卡那霉素抗性的再生植株经RT-PCR检测,得到了与阳性对照一致的495bp的目标片段;转基因植株的VE含量比对照植株高2倍左右,个别株系高达11倍.实验还发现,在耐盐性实验中转基因植株对盐的抗性明显高于野生型烟草;同时,在不同盐浓度(150、250mmol/L)胁迫下转基因植株VE含量比未转化植株增加了1.3~1.8倍,首次证明VTE1与植物耐盐性之间的关系.图7参30     

中空纤维膜超滤聚丙烯酸钠溶液

研究聚丙烯酸钠（PAAS）溶液的超滤行为,考察各操作参数对膜通量（J）和截留系数（R）的影响,结果表明,J随运行时间延长衰减不明显,随压差增大呈线性递增,随温度升高而增大,pH高于5时J基本不变;R随压差增大或温度升高均下降,随pH增大而增大。建立膜阻力（rf）模型,研究影响rf的主要因素,发现,rf随压差增大而增大,随温度升高而减少,pH低于5时rf随pH增大而迅速下降。研究PAAS溶液浓缩过程,当体积浓缩因子为16时,J衰减明显,截留液PAAS浓度（Cr）呈线性递增,渗透液PAAS浓度（Cp）在较长时期内基本不变,至浓缩后期,Cp轻微下降。以去离子水对浓缩液予以洗涤,随着洗涤液体积增大,Cr轻微下降,Cp逐渐趋于零。

罗布泊极旱荒漠区的盐泉水文特征

罗布泊地处中亚极旱荒漠区,是塔里木盆地最低的断陷洼地,也是第四纪以来盆地地表水的集水中心和积盐中心。古代罗布泊面积曾有2×104km2,到1958年还有近3 000km2的面积。1970年干涸4 000km2的湖盆成为平坦的岩盐地,自此罗布泊及周围已无湖泊存在,也无常年流水的河流流入罗布泊。该地区平原区只分布有暴雨和融雪形成的间歇性径流河,以及间距远达20km~60km的零散盐泉,各自有着不同的水文特征。地理学界把该地区视为"亚洲的干旱中心"。     

Major Ionic Composition of Aerosol, Rainwater and its Impact on Surface and Sub-surface Waters, in and Around Mangalore, West Coast of India

Mining activities in Rakha copper mine (Jharkhand, India) were ceased in the year 2001, leaving a huge amount of untreated tailings in the nearby tailings pond. The copper tailings contained high concentrations of heavy metals (total Cu, Ni concentrations 1779, 564 mgkg⁻¹, respectively), and low contents of major nutrient elements and organic matter. Tailings are often very unstable, and a potential vegetation cover may reduce the erosion or immobilize the toxicants to surrounding environment by phytostabilization. However, high shoot concentrations of elements might disperse them and could be harmful to grazing animals. The objective of this study was to find out which of the three properties; low-accumulation, root accumulation or shoot accumulation of elements (Cu, Ni, Mn, Zn, Pb, Cd and Co), occur in the semi aquatic species Ammania baccifera growing on copper tailings. Roots of this species accumulated high levels of Cu, even more than 1000 mg kg⁻¹, DW. Metals accumulated by A. baccifera were mostly distributed in root tissues, suggesting that an exclusion strategy for metal tolerance widely exists in them. Thus, establishment of such plant on copper tailings can be a safe method to stabilize the metals.
