Persistence of fensulfothion in a sandy‐loam soil and uptake by rutabagas,carrots and radishes using microplots

Abstract

Field microplots were treated with 141 and 282 ppm fensulfothion and 37.1 and 74.2 ppm fensulfothion sulfone. These concentrations are equivalent to field treatment rates of 8.48 and 16.96 kg Al/ha, fensulfothion, and 2.23 and 4.47 kg Al/ha, fensulfothion sulfone, respectively, for banded application (10 cm wide, rows 80 cm apart). The half‐lives in a sandy loam soil were 30–39 and 14–23 days, respectively. Fensulfothion sulfone and sulfide were the main derivatives found in fensulfothion treated soil.

The maximum levels of these derivatives were 21.22 and 22.95 ppm, respectively for the 8.48 kg/ha treatment and 33.90 and 42.45 ppm, respectively, for the higher treatment, which occurred between 30–60 days.

Carrots appeared to take up more fensulfothion from soil than rutabagas or radishes. The residue levels at harvest decreased in the order carrot peel > pulp > rutabagas root > peel > pulp. Residue levels of fensulfothion and sulfone in radishes were similar to those found in rutabagas. The ratio sulfoxide/sulfone in rutabagas ranged from 0.4–1.5 and in carrots from 1.7–7.6. This phenomenon is thought to be due to oxidative enzyme systems present in rutabagas. Dimethyl phosphorothioic acid, but not dimethyl phosphoric acid was detected (max. 1.33 ppm) in some rutabagas samples but not in carrots.     

西气东输工程靖边至宁陕界沙地生态环境保护对策

靖边至宁陕界的西气东输工程段属于毛乌素沙地南缘与陕北黄土高原北缘的过渡地带,项目区生态环境状况不稳定。一旦沙地植被遭到破坏,风吹蚀与沙搬运的荒漠化过程就会迅速发生,从而形成流沙使生态系统退化或破坏。在详细介绍了沙地特征和生态环境特点的基础上,提出了相应的荒漠化防治和治理措施,以将项目区的生态尽可能恢复成原状或将其不良影响降到最低。     

Saturated and Unsaturated Water Flow in Inclined Porous Media

This paper considers the two-dimensional saturated and unsaturated flow of water through inclined porous media, namely a waste dump or hill slope. Since the partial differential equation governing this water flow transforms from being parabolic to elliptic as the water flow varies from unsaturated to saturated, an iterative, finite differencing scheme is used to develop a numerical solution. The model can be used to investigate the effects that hill slope angle, depth of soil cover and hilltop width have on water accumulation in the dump and the time required for saturation to occur at different areas in the dump domain. The accuracy and reliability of the computer based solution is tested for two different boundary conditions – (1) no flow on all boundaries (i.e., the internal redistribution of soil moisture to steady state) and (2) a constant rainfall flux on the dump surface. Numerical studies then show the effects of changing the hill slope angle, depth of layer, and dump geometry on the flow characteristics in the dump.

沙漠化过程中科尔沁沙地植物-土壤系统碳氮储量动态

研究了科尔沁沙地不同沙漠化阶段(潜在、轻度、中度、重度和严重沙漠化)植物-土壤系统的有机碳与氮储量,以揭示沙漠化对碳氮动态的影响.结果表明,从潜在沙漠化到轻度、中度、重度和严重沙漠化,生物量(地上与地下)有机碳储量分别下降26.4%、51.0%、79.0%和91.0%,生物量氮储量分别下降33.6%、66.9%、87.4%和93.2%;土壤有机碳储量分别下降52.2%、75.9%、87.0%和90.1%,土壤全氮储量分别下降43.5%、71.0%、81.3%和82.7%.植物-土壤系统的有机碳与氮储量大小为:潜在沙漠化(C:5 266 g·m^-2和N:534 g·m^-2)>轻度沙漠化(C:2 619 g·m^-2和N:303 g·m^-2>中度沙漠化(C:1368 g·m^-2和N:156 g·m^-2)>重度沙漠化(C:715 g·m-^-2和N:99 g·m^-2)>严重沙漠化(C:517 g·m^-2和N:91 g·m^-2).研究结果表明,生物量碳氮储量的衰减在沙漠化后期(从重度到严重)快于沙漠化初期(从潜在到轻度),而土壤碳氮储量的衰减在沙漠化初期快于沙漠化后期;沙漠化过程中土壤有机碳储量的衰减要快于全氮,而生物量氮储量的衰减在沙漠化初期快于碳,在后期则相反.     

Distribution and Statistical Analysis of Leachable and Total Heavy Metals in the Sediments of the Suez Gulf

The concentrations of nine heavy metals (Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pd and Zn) in the labile and total fractions of muddy and sandy sediment samples collected from twelve sites in Suez Gulf during April 1999 were studied to evaluate the pollution status of the Suez Gulf. The enrichment factors (EF) for each element were calculated. There are extremely high concentrations of Cd, Ni, Pb and slightly concentration of Cr and Cu in both muddy and sandy sediments. The concentration of Zn was moderately high and can be considered as seriously contaminate Metal pollution index (MPI) shows high values ranged between 46 to 156 and 40 to 232 for both sandy and muddy sediments, respectively. Concentrations of heavy metals were normalized against iron for total fraction in both of sandy and muddy sediments. Principal component analysis (PCA) was studied on the data matrix obtained and represented three-factor model explaining 92.22% for labile and 88.82% for total fractions of muddy sediment. The main source of contamination is the offshore oil fields and industrial wastes. This is largely a result of ineffective and inefficient operation equipment, illegal discharge of dirty ballast water from tankers and lack of supervision and prosecution of offenders.     

Dynamic Changes of Sandy Land in Northwest of Beijing, China

The area northwest of Beijing is one of the most important regions where many organizations invest and pay most attention. The environmental problems in this region affect not only Beijing but also the surrounding area. Based on observation of the characteristics of the change in sandy land, this study classified four types of dynamic change of sandy land, including extended sandy land, the reversely changed sandy land, the potential sandy land and no change in sandy land. Then the process and the trend of changes in sandy land and their environmental impact on the area northwest of Beijing were analyzed. The results show that the area of sandy land has increased in this region in the period of 1991 to 2002. Change between sandy land and grassland was the dominant change. It is found that the monitoring zones of Hunshandake sandy land and north of Yin Shan are regions with high ratio of extended sandy land, and are connected with widespread potential change of sandy land. This implies that these two regions have a high probability of increase in sandy land in the future. On the other hand, in the monitoring zone of Horqin sandy land and Ba Shang Plateau and its surrounding area, desertification had been controlled and the area of sandy land is expected to decrease. This indicates that the direction of the sandstorm to Beijing is expected to gradually move to the northwest. Furthermore, the decreases in sandy land and the reversing change from arable land to grassland and forests in the study region will affect the land quality and atmosphere. And the logistic multiple regression (LMR) model was employed to better understand the complexity and processes of increases in sandy land. This model predicts that there is a high probability of increases in sandy land in north of Siziwang Banner, Zhengxiangbai Banner and Zhenglan Banner. Finally, suggestions to the ecological construction of the study area have been proposed.
