利用瓦里关全球本底站和番禺气象局地面观测的CO2浓度资料对SCIAMACHY反演得到的对流层CO2产品进行验证.结果显示:SCIAMACHY产品能较好地反映对流层CO2的分布状况,在珠三角地区反演和观测的残差为1.29×10-6,相关系数为0.69,可用于分析区域对流层CO2的时空分布特征.利用2003~2009年SCIAMACHY观测资料分析研究显示:广东地区对流层CO2柱浓度最高值出现在春季,最低值出现在夏季,浓度年均值和年增长率分别为384.84′10-6和1.53′10-6/a,大于全球和我国同期的观测结果;粤东、粤西、粤北和珠三角地区的浓度均在春、冬季显著高于夏季、秋季 ,相同季节内各区域之间的差异不显著;粤西地区CO2柱浓度的年增长率最高,为1.82′10-6/a,珠三角和粤东地区的年增长率相当,分别为1.65,1.64′10-6/a,粤北地区的年增长率最低,为1.61′10-6/a.     

特异性拟杆菌引物在珠江三角洲的适应性研究

在珠江三角洲地区采集人、猪、牛、狗以及家禽等33个粪便样品,高效提取基因组DNA,选取14种特异性拟杆菌引物进行检验分析,并进一步采用已知污染源类型的水样对其进行验证.结果表明:采用粪便样品DNA专属提取试剂盒和水体样品DNA专属提取试剂盒提取的基因组模版纯度和提取率均符合后续实验要求.拟杆菌通用引物2#(Bac32F/Bac708R)检出率为85%(28/33),特别是对哺乳类动物和鸡的粪便具有更高的检出率.人的拟杆菌特异性引物3#(HF134F/ Bac708R)和4#(HF183F/Bac708R)、反刍动物的拟杆菌特异性引物8#(CF128F/Bac708R)以及猪的拟杆菌特异性引物10#(PF163F/Bac708R)在珠江三角洲地区同时具有较高的灵敏度和较强的特异性.水体样品验证实验与实际污染类型相符,说明拟杆菌通用引物2#、人的特异性引物3# 和4# 以及猪的特异性引物10# 在珠江三角洲地区具有很好的适用性.     

黄土丘陵区不同土地利用类型下生物土壤结皮的入渗效应

为揭示黄土丘陵区BSCs(生物土壤结皮)的入渗特征,以甘肃省定西市安家沟小流域为例,选择荒草地、沙棘灌丛和油松林3种典型土地利用类型进行采样,采用环刀模拟法研究不同土地利用类型下苔藓结皮和地衣结皮对水分入渗的影响. 结果表明:①不同土地利用类型下的2种BSCs均明显减少初渗速率和达到稳渗所需时间,初渗速率降幅最小值、最大值分别出现在油松林、荒草地下地衣结皮;荒草地、沙棘灌丛苔藓结皮稳渗速率相对裸土分别增加2.4%、10.0%,而二者地衣结皮明显降低稳渗速率,降幅分别为45.2%和55.0%,油松林下苔藓结皮和地衣结皮稳渗速率均增幅为18.2%. ②苔藓结皮在3种土地利用类型下均促进土壤水分入渗,其入渗量调控率在荒草地、沙棘灌丛和油松林下分别是1.0%、10.0%和0.7%;而地衣结皮在荒草地和沙棘灌丛下明显阻碍水分入渗,其入渗量调控率的绝对值分别为43.9%和50.0%,在油松林下的入渗量调控率则为16.5%. ③Horton模型对生物土壤结皮入渗过程拟合效果最好,较适于描述本区具有生物结皮覆盖的土壤入渗特征.      

喀斯特土壤微生物和活性有机碳对生态恢复的快速响应

喀斯特地区普遍面临生态退化的问题,退耕还林作为其重要的生态恢复措施之一而备受关注。土壤活性有机碳通常较总有机碳对环境变化和干扰更加敏感,此外土壤微生物对环境变化和干扰亦十分敏感。然而,关于喀斯特不同时间尺度退耕还林土壤活性有机碳和微生物的系统研究尚少见报导。为了揭示土壤活性有机碳和微生物对喀斯特生态恢复的快速指示作用,为喀斯特生态恢复评价和生态环境治理提供科学依据,以广西古周村典型喀斯特景观为代表,采用空间代替时间的方法,选取不同年限（2 a、4 a、8 a、12 a）退耕还林地和玉米耕地对照样地,研究了表层土壤微生物指标和活性有机碳指标随退耕还林的变化特征。研究结果显示,较耕地对照相比,退耕还林8 a后,土壤总有机碳（TOC）质量分数才发生显著变化,提升24%;而还林2 a后,土壤水溶性有机碳（WSOC）、颗粒有机碳（POC）和易氧化有机碳（KMnO4-C）的绝对含量便分别显著提高62%、36%和38%,相对含量分别显著提升60%、34%和36%,且随还林年限的延长呈升高趋势;退耕还林2 a后,土壤微生物生物量碳（MBC）、基础呼吸（BR）和微生物商（MBC︰TOC）分别显著增加56%、27%和54%,并随还林年限的延长呈逐渐升高趋势;土壤微生物代谢熵（qCO2）在退耕还林2 a后显著降低19%,之后随还林年限延长呈下降趋势。本研究表明,土壤活性有机碳及土壤微生物指标可以作为喀斯特生态恢复的早期指示者。     

城市区域土地利用变化及驱动机制研究 --以长江三角洲地区为例

以正处于一个新的成长期的城市群——长江三角洲地区为例,分析其工业化、城市化进程中的城市区域土地利用变化态势及内在驱动机理。通过对长江三角洲地区城市区域各地类面积比例的动态分析,发现研究区土地利用变化的主要方面是建设用地比例的增加以及耕地和水域面积比例的减少。在此基础上建立驱动因素体系,利用相关分析和主因子分析方法,并构建城市区域土地利用变化驱动力模型,得出长江三角洲城市区域土地利用变化的主要驱动因素是人口的增长和非农化、经济总量的增加以及劳动力的非农化。但是不同的时期,主要驱动力随着社会经济发展的特点和土地利用的特点不断变化：人口的非农化(城市化率)的作用不断增强;经济总量增长的作用明显的减弱;第三产业的发展对建设用地比例增加的驱动作用越来越强。     

复杂地貌区域生态敏感区综合评价与保护对策——以广西钦州市为例

复杂地貌区域国土开发受生态环境因素影响较单一地貌地区更复杂,其境内生态敏感区类型较多,且空间分布比较杂乱,不同生态敏感区之间又相互影响。文章选择山、水、林、田、城互为镶嵌的广西钦州市作为案例城市,以小流域为评价单元,建立集"地"、"水"、"绿"三位于一体的评价体系,在遥感和GIS技术的支持下,将单因子定性分级和多因子空间叠加模型相结合,对整个区域的生态敏感区进行综合评价及分区。从研究结果来看,这种评价技术能够较好地反映这些生态敏感区的综合分异规律,有助于当地政府在区域开发中制定更为科学的生态安全防范对策。     

Polychlorinated biphenyls and organochlorine pesticides in amniotic fluids of pregnant women in south-central Turkey†

The concentrations of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were determined in amniotic fluid of 200 pregnant women from the Cukurova region of Turkey. The concentrations of OCPs [hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH), hexachlorobenzene (HCB), dichlorodiphenyl trichloroethane (p,p′-DDT), and various metabolites], and different PCB congeners (28, 52, 101, 118, 138, 153, 180) were determined by gas chromatography with electron capture detection as follows: HCB 6.6 ± 4.7, ΣHCH 21.6 ± 14.2, ΣDDT 12.5 ± 7.5, and ΣPCBs 74.0 ± 54 ng mL^?1. Correlations of maternal or gestational age and levels of OCPs and PCBs were not significant. The levels of these organochlorine compounds (OCs) were below detection limit for 5% of the samples, 80% contained more than one OC. This study illustrates that prenatal exposure of a fetus to OCs is prevalent in the Cukurova region.     

基于SPI指数的1981—2010年内蒙古地区干旱时空分布特征

依据内蒙古地区47 个地面观测站1981—2010 年降水资料,采用标准化降水指数(SPI)作为干旱指标,分析了内蒙古地区年度和四季干旱发生的频率、干旱强度和站次比(发生干旱站数与总站数之比) 的演变特点。结果表明:年度、秋季和冬季干旱强度变化趋势不明显,春、夏季干旱强度呈显著上升的趋势;近30 a 来年尺度上干旱强度表现为轻度干旱,四季干旱强度以轻度干旱为主;年、季尺度上干旱发生的覆盖范围为局域性干旱和区域性干旱;内蒙古东北部呼伦贝尔盟是年度干旱、中旱、重旱与特旱发生频率最高地区,而西部阿拉善盟地区干旱、中旱、重旱和特旱发生的频率相对较低;从季节上来看,内蒙古全区春、冬季干旱(含中、重和特旱)发生频率较为一致,表现为西部及西南部地区干旱发生的频率较低,而东部、中部、北部地区干旱发生的频率相对较高。     

Land-use dynamics and landscape pattern change in a coastal gulf region,southeast China

This study quantitatively analyzed spatiotemporal changes in land use and landscape pattern in a coastal gulf region of southeast China by comparing classified satellite images from 1988, 2002, and 2007, using a geographic information system (GIS), remote sensing (RS), and landscape pattern metrics. The results show an increase in cropland, built-up area, and aquaculture area and a decrease in orchards, woodland, and beach area during 1988–2007. Over the study period, 64.3% of newly-expanded cropland was from woodland; newly-expanded built-up area of 34.8, 27.2, and 20.4% was converted from cropland, woodland, and beach areas, respectively; and newly-expanded aquaculture increased by 45.1 and 29.4% from beach and water body areas, respectively. Trend analysis of landscape pattern metrics demonstrates fragmentation of the landscape, with landscape pattern structure becoming more complex over the last two decades in the Louyuan Gulf region. Urbanization and policy developed to transfer beach/seawater areas into built-up area/aquaculture are the two main driving forces contributing to dynamic changes in land use and landscape pattern in the last two decades in Louyuan.     

Historical evidence of climatic variability and changes,and its effect on high-altitude regions: insights from Rara and Langtang,Nepal

ABSTRACT

Climatic variability and its effects have been experienced in the high-altitude regions of Nepal for some considerable time. Most of the studies on local people’s perception available so far in Nepal on climate include with respect to weather changes, and almost none have been verified with satellite imagery. This study thus attempts to combine meteorological and satellite imagery for comparing local people’s perception so that a more robust validation can be established. Both qualitative (transect walk, key informant interview, focus group discussion and institutional visit) and quantitative (meteorological and satellite image) data and techniques were employed. Local people from Rara and Langtang in Nepal shared their observations and perceptions on the changing climate for the last three decades and the effects on them and their local microclimate. Apart from temperature, rainfall and snowfall anomalies, locals observed changes in the water sources and increasing drought along with alteration in the phenology of tree and agricultural crops as well as vegetation range migration. Satellite image analysis also confirms a change in snow cover as notified by the local people. This study shows that local people’s knowledge could be considered as a complement to the observed scientific evidences of climate change science and their perceptions can be used reliably where scientific data are lacking. Finally, perceived climatic risks, current gaps and future opportunities are discussed and some recommendations are suggested.
