Sediment nutrient flux in a coastal lake impacted by diverted Mississippi River water

The internal nutrient load from bottom sediment to the water column of a Louisiana Barataria Basin lake (Lake Cataouatche) receiving diverted Mississippi River water was determined. Dissolved reactive phosphorus (DRP), ammonium (NH₄-N) and nitrate (NO₃-N) flux from sediment to water column were measured. The DRP flux averaged-0.22 mg m^-2 d^-1 under aerobic water column conditions, as compared with that 3.29 mg m^-2 d^-1 under anaerobic conditions. The average NH₄-N released under anaerobic conditions (1.42 mg m^-2 d^-1) was significantly greater than rates under aerobic conditions (-0.02 mg m^-2 d^-1), indicating a strong relationship between nutrient flux and oxygen availability in the water column. The average NO₃-N flux was 2.13 mg m^-2 d^-1 under aerobic conditions as compared with-0.24 mg m^-2 d^-1 under anaerobic conditions in the sediment-water column. When the water column maintained under anaerobic conditions was switched to aerobic conditions, the DRP, NH₄-N, and NO₃-N concentrations in overlying water decreased rapidly over a short period of time. The mean annual internal DRP and NH₄-N load from the sediment to the overlying water was estimated to be 69.26 and 29.9 tonnes (Mg) yr^-1 respectively, which represents a significant portion of the total nutrient load to the Lake. Results demonstrate that the internal flux of nutrients from sediments can contribute a significant portion of the total nutrient load to the water column and should be considered in decisions on impact of nutrient in diverted Mississippi River on water quality of Barataria Basin.     

Mechanisms Providing for Species Coexistence in the Herb-Dwarf Shrub Layer of a Southern Taiga Birch Forest

Individual species coexisting in the herb-dwarf shrub layer of a mature southern taiga birch forest were studied with respect to their limitation by different environmental resources and differences in the time or localization of the intensive utilization of deficient resources. The results made it possible to estimate the significance of different mechanisms of species coexistence in multispecific communities for herbaceous and dwarf shrub species of the forest phytocenosis studied.     

不同季节生态型大白菜光合作用对夏季高温强光的响应

分别以春季品种强势、夏季品种夏珍白1号和秋季品种鲁白8号大白菜（Brassica campestrisL.ssp.Pekinesis(Lour)Olsson）为试材，研究了不同季节生态型大白菜在莲座末期或结球初期，叶片光合作用对夏季高温、强光胁迫的响应。结果表明，不同季节生态型大白菜在高温、强光下的光合特性存在明显差异，夏珍白1号的光合速率（Pn）、蒸腾速率（Tr）、气孔导度（Gs）的极值明显高于强势和鲁白8号，光合“午休“现象较轻；中午12：00时光系统Ⅱ的光化学效率（Fv/Fm）夏珍白1号、强势较高，鲁白8号较低；室内人工控制高温、强光下，夏珍白1号的光合速率较高，鲁白8号较低；利用直线方程求得大白菜的温度补偿点为55℃左右，品种略有差异，夏珍白1号（56.97℃）高于强势（54.81℃）和鲁白8号（54.40℃）。图5参13。     

A mathematical model to estimate errors associated with closed flux chambers

Errors associated with the closed flux chamber technique, used to measure surface emissions from landfills, were investigated by using a combination of numerical modeling and laboratory studies. A transient-state, advective–dispersive–reactive model was developed and used in conjunction with its steady-state version to quantify the errors associated with closed flux chambers. In developing the model, all four major gases, CH₄, O₂, CO₂, and N₂, and the oxidation of CH₄ to CO₂ were considered. Laboratory experiments were conducted on a monolayered as well as a two-layered landfill cover system to calibrate and verify the model. The model was used to develop a plot of the percentage errors associated with closed flux chambers of different dimensions and surface flux rates.     

湿热流域化学风化与水化学组成季节变化——以西枝江流域为例

为研究湿热中小流域岩石化学风化与化学径流组成的关系，选取硅酸盐岩为主的东江一级支流西枝江流域，分别于2011年1月和7月采集干流和支流水样品并测量其化学组成，运用图解法和正演模型对西枝江流域水化学组成进行分析和定量计算。结果表明，Na⁺和HCO₃^-为西枝江流域水体的主要阳离子和阴离子，两者分别占总阳离子和总阴离子的55%以上。硅酸盐矿物的化学风化对水体阳离子的贡献最大（45.8%），其次是人类活动和碳酸盐矿物风化的贡献（分别是24.7%和22.0%），大气输入对阳离子的贡献相对较少（7.5%）。受碳酸盐矿物风化和人类活动影响较大的支流水化学组成季节变化较大，受硅酸盐矿物化学风化影响的河流水化学组成季节变化不明显。西枝江流域硅酸盐矿物和碳酸盐矿物化学风化速率分别是8.27和56.95 t/（km²·a），二者化学风化对大气CO₂的消耗速率分别为0.80×10⁵和8.52×10⁵ mol/（km²·a）。     

Sedimentation and seasonal variation of hexachlorocyclohexanes in sediments in a eutrophic lake,China

Hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) concentrations in sediments and sediment trap fluxes of particulate organic carbon and HCHs were measured bi-weekly from March 31 to October 18, 2006 in an urban eutrophic lake in Tianjin, China, in order to investigate sedimentation and seasonal variation of HCHs in sediments. HCH concentrations (dry weight basis) ranged from 2.2 to 20.2 ng/g (mean 7.7 ng/g) in surface sediments and from 26.6 to 972.7 ng/g (mean 187.0 ng/g) in settling particles, respectively. A clear seasonal variation in HCH sedimentation and HCH concentrations in sediments was observed. The maximal HCH deposition occurred following a spring phytoplankton bloom. The average flux of HCHs to sediment was approximately 21-fold higher in April to mid-June as compared to late June to October. This was attributed to the high vertical fluxes at the end of the spring phytoplankton bloom. The maximum values of HCH concentrations in sediments were observed in mid-June to late July. Concentrations of HCHs in sediments from the eutrophic lake were well-correlated with organic carbon contents in sediments. The annual sediment trap flux of HCHs in the eutrophic lake, which was estimated using data obtained in the eutrophic lake, was 117 μ g/m² yr, about 72% of which was attributed to the sedimentation corresponding to spring bloom phytoplankton deposition in late May to mid-June. The high sediment trap flux of HCHs in the eutrophic lake was related to serious local contamination.
