Development of a model to simulate soil heavy metals lateral migration quantity based on SWAT in Huanjiang watershed, China

Lateral transportation of soil heavy metals in rainfall events could significantly increase the scope of pollution. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a model with high accuracy to simulate the migration quantity of heavy metals. A model for heavy metal migration simulation was developed based on the SWAT(Soil and Water Assessment Tool) model. This model took into consideration the influence of soil p H value, soil particle size, runoff volume, sediment amount,concentration of water-soluble heavy metals dissolved in runoff and insoluble absorbed to the soil particles. This model was reasonable in Huanjiang watershed, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, south China, covering an area of 273 km~2. The optimal drainage area threshold was determined by analyzing the effects of watershed subdivision on the simulation results to ensure the simulation accuracy. The main conclusions of this paper were:(1) watershed subdivision could affect simulation migration quantity of heavy metals;(2) the quantity of heavy metals transported by sediment accounted for 97%–99% of the total migration quantity in the study watershed. Therefore, sediment played the most important role in heavy metal migration;(3) the optimal drainage area threshold percentage to ensure high simulation accuracy was determined to be 2.01% of the total watershed;(4) with the optimal threshold percentage, this model could simulate the migration quantity of As, Pb and Cd accurately at the total watershed and subwatershed level. The results of this paper were useful for identifying the key regions with heavy metal migration.     

贵州喀斯特山地农业系统不同种植区休耕地土壤水溶性氮素组成及分布特征

选择贵州喀斯特山地农业系统不同种植区休耕地土壤作为研究对象,对其水溶性氮素组成及分布特征进行了研究。结果表明:休耕地土壤SON含量范围为4. 11～14. 34 mg/kg,平均含量为8. 62 mg/kg。不同种植区休耕地土壤SON含量存在较大差异,但差异不显著(p0. 05),SON占TSN的比例差异极显著(p0. 01),传统农业种植区SON的变异较大,其它种植区的较小。水溶性氮素组成以SON和NH_4~+-N为主,不同种植区的NH_4~+-N、NO_3~--N占SIN的比例差异不显著(p0. 05),而两者占TSN及SIN占TSN的比例差异极显著(p0. 01)。传统农业种植区表层和深层土壤SIN的含量都要比其它种植区高,SON则相反,说明不同类型的农业对土壤氮的影响不同。不同种植区表层土NH_4~+-N、NO_3~--N、TSN、SON含量差异极显著(p0. 01)。除了打通种植区,其它种植区NH_4~+-N含量随着土层的增加总体上表现出下降的规律。除了大冲种植区在0～30 cm深度先增加后降低的规律外,其它种植区NO_3~--N含量自土壤表层到30 cm深度,随着土层的增加而增加,自30 cm深度往下,随着土层的增加而下降。TSN和SON中,除了青岩种植区随着土壤表层到20 cm深度处降低外,其它种植区随着土壤表层到20 cm深度处先增加,然后从20 cm深度往下随着土层的增加再降低。SON容易向下淋失,不易在土层深部发生积累,造成氮素的流失和带来环境污染风险,应引起重视。     

湖南慈利马尾松树轮宽度对气候的响应及1854年以来冬季极端低温重建

利用采自湖南慈利的马尾松树轮样本,建立研究区的标准树轮宽度年表。树轮气候响应分析发现:马尾松径向生长与月最大日降水量在生长季之前部分月份显著负相关(p0.05),在生长季之内部分月份显著正相关(p0.05),与月平均温度、月平均最低温度、月极端最低温度在生长季之前和之内大多月份均显著正相关(p0.05),其中与上一年11月到当年2月(冬季)的平均极端最低温度相关最好(r=0.62,p0.01)。重建了湖南慈利地区1854年以来冬季极端最低温度,重建气温在十年尺度上表现出明显的反"S"型,1854—1916年和1981—2015年处于暖冬时期,1917—1980年处于寒冬时期。此外,共发现29个寒冬年,其中包括3个寒冬时段,分别为1922—1925年、1927—1930年和1953—1960年,其中1953—1960年是自1854年以来最冷的时段。空间相关性分析表明重建序列可以指示我国中东部的冬季低温变化,而冬季低温可能与热带印度洋、西太平洋海温变化异常有关。

The Upper and Lower Ecological Limits of Specific Metabolic Power of Different Organisms

It has been demonstrated that bioenergetic properties of plants (independence of productivity from size, proportionality between radial growth of woody plants and plant mass, etc.) and animals are not related to the presumed universal linear relationship between metabolic power and body mass to the power of 3/4. This relationship is not true for plants and endothermic animals. The observed bioenergetic characteristics of these organisms are explained by simple biological and physical laws, including the existence of the lower and upper limits of the specific metabolic power of living matter.     

连云港市大气、水环境污染经济损失初步估算

实行环境核算并将其纳入国民经济核算体系。是实施可持续发展战略的重大措施。本文对连云港市的大气、水环境污染损失进行估算并将其纳入到国民经济核算体系中。结果显示：1996—2000年连云港市大气、水污染损失年均分别为51623．4万元和135215．7万元，占GDP比重的2．2％和5．2％。合计高达7．4％。这表明大气和水污染损失的严重性。以GDP为主要衡量指标的现行国民经济核算体系过高地估计了连云港市的经济增长水平。掩饰了环境的退化，不利于可持续发展的科学决策和环境的管理。     

Effect of water pH and total dissolved solids on the species diversity of pelagic zooplankton in lakes: A statistical analysis

Statistical analysis of the combined influence of lake surface area (S), water pH, and total dissolved solids (TDS) on the formation of zooplankton communities in lakes has been made on the basis of available data on the number of species (N _sp ) of pelagic zooplankton in 256 lakes of the temperate zone of Europe, Asia, and North America. Graphic analysis and analysis of variance have shown that extremely high or extremely low values of pH and TDS inhibit lake zooplankton. If the value of one of these factors is extremely high, any increase in the other factor is favorable for the inhibited zooplankton, and this second factor determines the value of N _sp .     

Protection of Mammal Diversity in Central America

Abstract:  Central America is exceptionally rich in biodiversity, but varies widely in the attention its countries devote to conservation. Protected areas, widely considered the cornerstone of conservation, were not always created with the intent of conserving that biodiversity. We assessed how well the protected-area system of Central America includes the region's mammal diversity. This first required a refinement of existing range maps to reduce their extensive errors of commission (i.e., predicted presences in places where species do not occur). For this refinement, we used the ecological limits of each species to identify and remove unsuitable areas from the range. We then compared these maps with the locations of protected areas to measure the habitat protected for each of the region's 250 endemic mammals. The species most vulnerable to extinction—those with small ranges—were largely outside protected areas. Nevertheless, the most strictly protected areas tended toward areas with many small-ranged species. To improve the protection coverage of mammal diversity in the region, we identified a set of priority sites that would best complement the existing protected areas. Protecting these new sites would require a relatively small increase in the total area protected, but could greatly enhance mammal conservation.
