海陆风环流中海盐气溶胶对大气影响的模拟

采用WRF-CMAQ模式对2013年9月9~13日珠江口一次典型海陆风过程进行数值模拟,并进一步探讨了在此类型环流系统下,海盐气溶胶及其对大气环境的影响.结果表明：珠江口附近海风环流一般在14：00左右开始形成,17：00左右发展最旺盛,且在珠江口沿岸形成扇形风系.在海陆风环流影响下,珠江三角洲地区陆地上Na⁺浓度从17：00开始增加,次日02：00左右达到最大,10：00以后开始下降.海盐气溶胶存在明显的氯亏损现象,其中白天的氯亏损情况远比晚上严重,细粒径的氯亏损情况比粗粒径严重.设置有无海盐气溶胶排放的敏感性试验进行对比研究发现：考虑海盐排放后,珠江口地区HCl,SO₄^2-,NO₃^-的浓度均有增加,其中,HCl和NO₃^-的增加较多,SO₄^2-较少.HCl浓度增加的高值在Cl^-高值之前;SO₄^2-浓度变化主要受海盐气溶胶排放中的硫酸盐组分影响;NO₃^-浓度变化则主要受氯亏损机制和NO₃^-干沉降过程共同影响.     

陆地气溶胶粒子尺度分布的准确描述

利用AERONET 2.0级数据研究了3种主要陆地气溶胶（吸收性,中性和非吸收性）粒子尺度分布的规律.结果表明：当气溶胶的主要成分为小粒子时,细模式气溶胶的中值半径（r_f）和气溶胶总光学厚度（τ_t）的相关性较好,但粗模式的中值半径（r_c）与τ_t相关性较差,且对中性气溶胶表现为负相关,对其他两种类型则表现为正相关;在细模式气溶胶占比减少时,r_f和r_c与τ_t的相关性均减小;不论在何种情况下,r_f与细模式气溶胶光学厚度（τ_f）,以及r_c与粗模式气溶胶光学厚度（τ_c）总保持很高的相关性,且不论哪种气溶胶类型,r_c与τ_c总表示出稳定的负相关.最后讨论了新的气溶胶粒子尺度描述方法对卫星气溶胶性质反演的影响.     

Characteristics of size distributions and sources of water-soluble ions in Lhasa during monsoon and non-monsoon seasons

To understand the physical and chemical characteristics, particle size distribution and sources of size-separated aerosols in Lhasa, which is located on the Tibetan Plateau (TP), six sizes of aerosol samples were collected in Lhasa in 2014. Ca²⁺, NH₄⁺, NO₃^?, SO₄^2?and Cl^? were the dominant ions. The ratio of cation equivalents (CE) to anion equivalents (AE) for each particle size segment indicated that the atmospheric aerosols in Lhasa were alkaline. SO₄^2? and NO3^? could be neutralized by Ca²⁺, but could not be neutralized by NH₄⁺, according to the [NH₄⁺]/[NO₃^??+?SO₄^2?] and [Ca²⁺]/[NO₃^??+?SO₄^2?] ratios. Mobile sources were dominant in PM_0.95–1.5, PM_1.5–3 and PM_3–7.2, while stationary sources were dominant in the other three size fractions according to the [NO₃^?]/[SO₄^2?] ratios. The particle size distribution of all water-soluble ions during monsoon and non-monsoon periods was characterized by a bimodal distribution due to the different sources and formation mechanisms, and it was revealed that different ions had different sources in different seasons and different particle size segments by combining particle size distribution with correlation analysis. Source analysis of aerosols in Lhasa was performed using the Principal component analysis (PCA) for the first time, which revealed that combustion sources, motor vehicle exhaust, photochemical reaction sources and various types of dust were the main sources of Lhasa aerosols. Furthermore, Lhasa''s air quality was also affected by long-distance transmission, expressed as pollutants from South Asiaand West Asia, which were transmitted to Lhasa according to backward trajectory analysis.     

秋冬季节华北背景地区PM1污染特征及来源

利用高分辨率飞行时间气溶胶质谱仪(HR-ToF-AMS)在华北背景地区——上甸子区域大气本底站开展亚微米气溶胶(NR-PM_1)化学组分及粒径分布的连续观测实验,观测时段为2015年10月17日至2016年1月27日,涵盖了秋、冬两季.结果表明,整个观测期间NR-PM_1平均质量浓度为25.2μg·m~(-3),PM_1中有机物占绝对优势,硝酸盐占的比例高于硫酸盐.各化学组分平均粒径分布以积聚模态为主,其中,有机物峰形最宽,峰值粒径最小,硝酸盐峰值粒径最大,表明有机物在颗粒物形成、增长初期及老化阶段均有贡献,硝酸盐在气溶胶粒子老化过程中更易于增长为大粒子.有机物种元素特性分析结果显示,秋、冬季有机气溶胶平均氧碳比(O/C)和氢碳比(H/C)为0.58和1.58,OM/OC达1.91,有机气溶胶的氧化程度高于城市站点平均水平.在华北地区污染环境下,有机气溶胶演变途径Van Krevelen拟合曲线斜率为-0.21,其老化潜质和速率较珠三角地区和欧美地区城市要慢.对比污染时段和清洁时段化学组成特征发现,在污染时段,硝酸盐质量浓度及其对PM_1的贡献率超过硫酸盐,有机物氧化程度明显高于清洁时段.后径向轨迹气团分析结果显示,污染时段气团来向较为复杂,来自西部,南部以及东北部气团均有贡献,清洁时段,主要受来自西伯利亚洁净空气的影响,对站点污染物扩散作用明显.

针对当前滨海湿地种子流在潮汐过程中种子有效沉降降低、土壤种子库分布不均、定植效率低和栖息地裸斑现象等关键问题,以黄河三角洲盐沼湿地的盐地碱蓬（Suaeda salsa）为修复物种,研发一种应用于滨海湿地盐沼植被修复的固态种子产品,阐述固态种子产品的制作过程,并开展三种不同保水材料为核心材料（聚丙烯酰胺PAM,羟乙基纤维素HEC,羟丙基甲基纤维素HPMC）的种子产品的有效性研究。研究结果表明：（1）包装制作后的盐地碱蓬种子的吸水倍率和保水持续时间显著高于普通天然种子,表现出良好的吸水保水特性;（2）包装后的盐地碱蓬种子受盐度梯度变化的影响较小,表现出良好的耐盐抗性;（3）包装后的盐地碱蓬种子具有更高的萌发潜力,而不同保水材料的种子产品包装对盐地碱蓬种子萌发的促进作用表现为PAM>HPMC>HEC>天然种子;（4）包装后的盐地碱蓬种子具有更短的悬浮时间和较快的平均沉降速度,表明了种子产品增强了盐地碱蓬种子抵抗水动力干扰的潜力,其中以PAM为保水材料的种子产品可以直接、快速地沉降。本文首次将种子产品技术应用于滨海湿地盐沼植被修复中,为种子产品技术在退化滨海湿地的植被修复领域的应用与实践提供了理论基础。     

毛竹入侵对常绿阔叶林主要树种的化感作用研究

为探讨毛竹入侵对周边森林环境的影响,以毛竹浸提液处理苦槠、青冈种子,测定种子萌发效应.结果表明,两树种种子萌发与浸提液浓度和来源有关.浓度效应表现为高抑低促的作用规律,高浓度处理下苦槠的发芽率为对照的82.3%~102.2%,青冈为对照的80%~90.9%,而低浓度处理下分别为对照的101.7%~107.6%和94.9%~109.1%.除低浓度处理对苦槠发芽速度无影响外,其他处理均对两树种发芽速度有显著的延缓作用(P<0.05).高浓度浸提液对苦槠根系活力有显著的抑制作用(P<0.05),抑制率为41.1%~62.4%.不同来源浸提液处理间差异明显,根系浸提液处理的种子发芽率最低.苦槠芽苗的芽长与不同来源浸提液间差异不显著(P>0.05),而青冈芽苗芽长与不同来源浸提液间差异显著(P<0.05),茎叶、根系与枯落物浸提液高于土壤浸提液.这些结果说明毛竹具有潜在的化感作用,可能有利于其入侵周边森林,从而危害周边森林环境.     

铜、镉胁迫下荻种子的萌发和幼苗生长

研究了不同质量浓度Cu、Cd胁迫对荻(Triarrhena sacchariflora(Maxim.)Nakai)种子萌发及其幼苗生长的影响。结果表明:随着胁迫质量浓度的增大,Cu、Cd对荻种子萌发和幼苗生长的抑制作用增强。就发芽率来看,影响荻种子萌发的Cu的临界质量浓度和极限质量浓度分别为20.81、67.37 mg·L-1,Cd的临界质量浓度和极限质量浓度分别为16.30、42.79 mg·L-1。Cu、Cd对荻幼苗根的抑制作用大于对芽的抑制作用;芽的生长表现为低促高抑。影响荻幼苗芽生长的Cu的临界质量浓度和极限质量浓度分别为52.32、96.11 mg·L-1,Cd的临界质量浓度和极限质量浓度分别为33.55、55.88 mg·L-1;影响荻幼苗根生长的Cu的临界质量浓度和极限质量浓度分别为42.33、85.03 mg·L-1,Cd的临界质量浓度和极限质量浓度分别为26.18、50.45 mg·L-1。     

兰州市化石燃料燃烧源排放VOCs的臭氧及二次有机气溶胶生成潜势

随着我国工业的快速发展和城市化进程的加快,化石燃料的大量使用造成了严重的二氧化硫、颗粒物和挥发性有机物(volatile organic compounds,VOCs)等大气污染.目前,对化石燃料燃烧排放挥发性有机物环境影响的研究较少,本文计算了兰州市化石燃料燃烧源排放VOCs及其相应的臭氧生成潜势(ozone formation potential,OFP)和二次有机气溶胶生成潜势(secondary organic aerosols formation potential,SOAFP),其中水泥制造业的OFP和SOAFP占比最大,分别为45. 3%、50. 9%;其次为砖瓦制造业,但其吨标煤燃烧排放VOCs的OFP和SOAFP值最高,折为吨标煤后天然气燃烧产生VOCs的O_3和SOA最小.兰州市主城区化石燃料燃烧源OFP和SOAFP主要为电力和热力的生产供应以及西固区工业企业排放VOCs的贡献,其它地区为水泥制造业、砖瓦制造业、钢铁冶炼业等高能耗的行业的贡献为主.芳香烃是化石燃料燃烧源排放VOCs中对OFP和SOAFP均贡献最大的一类物质,占比分别为40. 0%和67. 2%,并且在生成潜势贡献前10的物种中芳香烃为主要物种.与生物质燃烧源相比,化石燃料燃烧源具有较强的O_3和SOA生成能力(2. 58 t·t~(-1)和3. 16 kg·t~(-1)).     

Mass-transfer processes of chromium(VI) adsorption onto guava seeds

The chromium(VI) biosorption onto guava seeds, as an alternative method for Cr⁶⁺ removal from aqueous solutions, was investigated. The parameters affecting kinetics and equilibrium of Cr⁶⁺ adsorption onto guava seeds were studied. An external mass-transfer diffusion coefficient k and intra-particle diffusion coefficient k_i were determined to measure the rate-limiting step of adsorption. A single external mass-transfer diffusion model and intra-particle diffusion models were used. The effects of initial pH, sorbent mass, and initial Cr⁶⁺ concentrations on mass-transfer coefficients were investigated. The external mass-transfer coefficient has an average value of 7.2×10^-3 cm s^-1, while the intra-particle mass-transfer diffusion coefficient was 0.34 mg g^-1 min^-0.5. This indicates that external diffusion to the guava seeds surface and intra-particle diffusion are both involved in the sorption process. The isotherm equilibrium data were well fitted by the Langmuir and Freundlich models with an average correlation coefficient R²=0.98. The maximum removal of Cr⁶⁺ was obtained at pH 1 (about 100% for adsorbent dose of 15 g l^-1 and 25 mg l^-1 initial concentration of Cr⁶⁺). The results indicated that the guava seeds exhibit acceptable sorption capacity.     

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.
