Radiative dryness index and potential productivity of vegetation in China

The Chikugo Model is used to estimate radiative dryness indexes (RDI) and net primary productivity (NPP) of vegetation zones in China by calculating cli-matic parameters. That provides the water-heat equilibrium condition, potential primary production for natural vegetation in various vegetation zones, and their geographical distribution pattern. That could be used as the basis for study the effect of global climate change on ecosystems.     

长江口崇明渔港表层沉积物中丁基锡赋存特征及生态风险

在长江口及崇明岛沿岸渔港采集表层沉积物样品,通过超声萃取-乙基化衍生技术提取沉积物中的丁基锡化合物,用气相色谱-质谱联用仪分析沉积物中的丁基锡赋存特征。结果显示,在长江口的参考点沉积物中均未发现有机锡化合物,而在各调查的渔港沉积物中均检出丁基锡,总浓度在1.6~58.8 ng Sn·g-1(干重,以下同)之间变化。表层沉积物的三丁基锡(TBT)、二丁基锡(DBT)和一丁基锡(MBT)浓度范围分别为ND~28.7 ng Sn·g-1,ND~22.1 ng Sn·g-1,1.6~8 ng Sn·g-1。其中,堡镇港TBT污染水平最高;老滧港和奚家港口门处沉积物中TBT浓度与新河港差不多(平均为17.2 ng Sn·g-1),而在港口内部沉积物中均未检出TBT,仅有MBT残存。检出TBT的样点,均在大型渔船码头、客运游艇码头或船厂附近,其浓度均超过澳大利亚和新西兰推荐的TBT沉积物质量基准(ISQG)触发值,即5 ng Sn·g-1。同时各样点暴露浓度(PECsed)与预测无效应浓度(PNECsed)的商值均大于1,SQG和PECsed/PNECsed两个方面均反映了崇明岛渔业港口沉积物中的TBT存在生态风险。综上,长江口地区沉积物中有机锡化合物形态和浓度差异很大,码头或船厂附近沉积物中有机锡污染问题值得优先关注。

广东省土地覆盖变化对植被净初级生产力的影响分析

理解土地利用/覆盖变化对植被净初级生产力（Net Primary Productivity,NPP）的影响对于全球碳循环和粮食安全具有重要意义。论文采用优化的CASA（Carnegie-Ames-Stanford Approach）模型估算广东省2000、2005和2010年NPP,分析NPP的空间格局和土地覆盖的时空动态,研究土地覆盖变化对NPP的影响。结果表明：1）广东省NPP空间分布不均,形成一系列高值区和低值区;总体上是粤中区最高,珠三角区最低。2）2000—2010年广东省土地覆盖变化程度增强,城市用地和耕地变化最大,主要集中在珠三角区和粤中区。3）在气候变化条件下,以城市扩张为主导的广东省土地覆盖类型变化整体上造成NPP的损失,损失量主要来自林地和耕地向低生产力土地覆盖类型的转换,尤其是被城市用地占用;不同生态区NPP损失差异显著,珠三角区和粤中区NPP损失较为严重;2005—2010年珠三角区NPP损失量有所降低,其他生态区均有所增加,体现了城市扩张对NPP影响的复杂性。     

CO_2和O_3浓度升高及其复合作用对华山松生长及光合日变化的影响

以生长在沈阳市区内的5年生华山松幼树为实验材料,采用开顶箱法,研究高浓度CO2和高浓度O3下华山松生长变化、光合速率的日变化动态以及日光合总量季节变化,进而了解大气CO2浓度升高、O3浓度升高及其复合作用对华山松光合作用及生长的影响.结果表明,①高浓度O3处理后,华山松20～90 d针叶鲜重、干重增长量以及90 d针叶叶长较对照分别降低45.8%、38.9%和15.3%.主侧枝生长与对照相比无显著差异.高浓度O3降低了华山松日光合总量,处理30 d后,针叶净光合速率均显著低于对照,光合速率日变化曲线表现为双峰型,光合"午休"程度强于对照.②高浓度CO2处理后,华山松针叶鲜重、干重20～90 d增长量分别高于对照41.7%和22.2%,而针叶叶长以及主侧枝长未受显著影响.华山松日光合总量高于对照处理,处理30 d、60 d时,净光合速率普遍高于对照.CO2处理90 d时,日变化曲线由双峰变为单峰曲线,极大缓解了光合"午休"现象.③高浓度O3和CO2复合处理后,针叶干重、鲜重增量均低于对照,表明了复合处理后O3伤害的发生,但针叶干重高于O3单因子处理,这表明高浓度CO2可以一定程度上缓解高浓度O3对华山松针叶生长的抑制作用.针叶叶长,主侧枝生长未见明显效应.复合处理后,针叶净光合速率普遍低于对照,华山松日光合总量低于对照而高于O3单独处理,说明高浓度CO2可以通过减缓O3对植物光合的抑制而减少O3伤害.光合速率日变化曲线表现为双峰型.     

A model of fishing vessel accident probability

Problem: Commercial fishing is one of the least safe occupations. Method: The researchers develop a fishing vessel accident probability model for fishing areas off the northeastern United States using logit regression and daily data from 1981 to 1993. Results: The results indicate that fishing vessel accident probability declined over the study period. Higher wind speed is associated with greater accident probability. Medium-size vessels have the highest accident probability, while small vessels have the lowest. Within the study region, accident probability is lower in the southwestern section than in the northeastern section. Accidents are likely to occur closer to shore than offshore. Accident probability is lowest in spring. Impact on Industry: The probability model is an important building block in development and quantitative assessment of management mechanisms related to safety in the commercial fishing industry.     

Dynamic catch trends in the history of recreational spearfishing in Australia

The sustained decline in marine fisheries worldwide underscores the need to understand and monitor fisheries trends and fisher behavior. Recreational fisheries are unique in that they are not subject to the typical drivers that influence commercial and artisanal fisheries (e.g., markets or food security). Nevertheless, although exposed to a different set of drivers (i.e., interest or relaxation), recreational fisheries can contribute to fishery declines. Recreational fisheries are also difficult to assess due to an absence of past monitoring and traditional fisheries data. Therefore, we utilized a nontraditional data source (a chronology of spearfishing publications) to document historical trends in recreational spearfishing in Australia between 1952 and 2009. We extracted data on reported fish captures, advertising, and spearfisher commentary and used regression models and ordination analyses to assess historical change. The proportion of coastal fish captures reported declined approximately 80%, whereas the proportion of coral reef and pelagic fish reports increased 1750% and 560%, respectively. Catch composition shifted markedly from coastal temperate or subtropical fishes during the 1950s to 1970s to coral reef and pelagic species in the 1990s to 2000s. Advertising data and commentary by spearfishers indicated that pelagic fish species became desired targets. The mean weight of trophy coral reef fishes also declined significantly over the study period (from approximately 30–8 kg). Recreational fishing presents a highly dynamic social–ecological interface and a challenge for management. Our results emphasize the need for regulatory agencies to work closely with recreational fishing bodies to observe fisher behavior, detect shifts in target species or fishing intensity, and adapt regulatory measures.

Loss of an ecological baseline through the eradication of oyster reefs from coastal ecosystems and human memory

Oyster reefs form over extensive areas and the diversity and productivity of sheltered coasts depend on them. Due to the relatively recent population growth of coastal settlements in Australia, we were able to evaluate the collapse and extirpation of native oyster reefs (Ostrea angasi) over the course of a commercial fishery. We used historical records to quantify commercial catch of O. angasi in southern Australia from early colonization, around 1836, to some of the last recorded catches in 1944 and used our estimates of catch and effort to map their past distribution and assess oyster abundance over 180 years. Significant declines in catch and effort occurred from 1886 to 1946 and no native oyster reefs occur today, but historically oyster reefs extended across more than 1,500 km of coastline. That oyster reefs were characteristic of much of the coastline of South Australia from 1836 to 1910 appears not to be known because there is no contemporary consideration of their ecological and economic value. Based on the concept of a shifted baseline, we consider this contemporary state to reflect a collective, intergenerational amnesia. Our model of generational amnesia accounts for differences in intergenerational expectations of food, economic value, and ecosystem services of nearshore areas. An ecological system that once surrounded much of the coast and possibly the past presence of oyster reefs altogether may be forgotten and could not only undermine progress towards their recovery, but also reduce our expectations of these coastal ecosystems.

Effects of simulated acid rain on saplings of Pinus massoniana and Cunninghamia lanceolata

The effects of simulated acid rain with pH values of 6.63 (control, 4.5, 3.0, and 2.0 on saplings of Pinus massoniana and Cunninghamia lanceolate, were studied. The results showed that the pH of C.lanceolate, leaf sap and soil decreased as the acidity of rainfall increased. The acid rain with very low pH had significant effects on the photosynthetic rates per plant, but not on that of the per unit weight of dry leaves. The respiration rates of the two species were stimulated. Root and leaf boimass, but not stem biomass, were also reduced tremendously during a seven months period.
