河套灌区地下水化学时空特征及环境驱动因素

为探明内蒙古河套灌区地下水水化学特征及其环境成因,以内蒙古河套灌区乌兰布和、解放闸、永济、义长和乌拉特这5个灌域为研究区,选取72眼地下水观测井,于冻融末期（3月）、灌溉中期（7月）和秋浇末期（11月）这3个典型时间段采集地下水216个水样.综合运用统计分析、Piper三线图、Gibbs 图、离子比值和主成分分析等方法研究和探讨了地下水化学环境变化规律和地下水组分形成的环境驱动因素.利用水质指数（WQI）法评价了地下水的饮用适宜性,采用USSL图与Wilcox图综合分析地下水的灌溉适宜性.结果表明,研究区地下水普遍咸化,地下水阴、阳离子总浓度排序均为：冻融末期<秋浇末期<灌溉中期,Na⁺和Cl^-是水化学的主要贡献离子.地下水水化学类型以Cl-Na型占主导,Cl·SO₄-Ca·Mg型次之,SO₄-Ca·Mg、 HCO₃·Cl-Na、 HCO₃-Na和HCO₃-Ca·Mg型多种共存. 河套灌区浅层地下水基于WQI值分类,主要为Ⅳ类和Ⅴ类,总体地下水水质较差.USSL图与Wilcox图图解综合评价结果表明,灌区浅层地下水中盐度、钠浓度普遍偏高,冻融末期、灌溉中期和秋浇末期分别有80.6%、76.1%和77.6%的水样不适宜灌溉.研究区地下水化学特征的主要控制因素为蒸发浓缩作用和岩石风化作用,其中Na⁺和Cl^-主要来自盐岩的溶解和阳离子交换作用,农业灌溉和干旱是河套灌区地下水水化学演化的主要驱动因素.研究成果可为内蒙古引黄灌溉区优化农业管理措施提供技术支持,并为合理利用地下水资源提供理论参考.     

区域土地利用规划的适宜性

为合理分析、评价区域土地利用规划的生态合理性,建立了包括生态环境因子在内的工业用地适宜性分析指标体系,并以专家调查意见为基础确定了各指标的权重.在此基础上,以宁波市北仑区区域发展总体规划中的土地利用规划为例,在地理信息系统的支持下,对工业用地的适宜性、环境合理性、科学性进行分析和评价.结果表明,区域工业用地规划基本合理,3种工业类型大都布局在生态适宜区内.规划中存在的主要问题是,东片区三类工业布局与宁波市总体规划不符,不能很好地实现与周边地区的协调发展.城市规划中要综合考虑社会经济环境因素的作用,才能实现发展的科学性、合理性和可持续性.

The effects of landscape-level disturbance on the composition of Minnesota caddisfly (Insecta: Trichoptera) trophic functional groups: evidence for ecosystem homogenization

Over 300,000 caddisfly specimens representing 249 species were collected from nearly 250 sites throughout Minnesota during 2000 and 2001 to determine the effects of human disturbance on the composition of caddisfly trophic functional groups at the landscape level. Canonical correspondence analysis determined that stream width was the most important variable influencing functional group composition in regions of the state with relatively low disturbance, and that differences in the caddisfly fauna between sizes of streams generally followed trends predicted by the river continuum concept. In regions of the state with moderate disturbance, both stream width and the percentage of disturbed habitat upstream of a site were important variables influencing functional group composition. In highly disturbed regions, no variables corresponded to changes in the composition of caddisfly functional groups. Instead, ecosystems were homogeneous: fine-particle filtering collectors dominated in all sizes of streams. The observed aquatic ecosystem homogenization is attributed mostly to input of fine-particle organic and inorganic sediment from extensive agriculture.     

河流水质自动监测站选址适宜性评价

为建立和量化适于河流水质自动监测站选址的评价方法体系,提出了河流水质自动监测站选址一致性、可行性和适宜性评价问题,并建立了选址可行性和适宜性评价2套指标体系。以自动站选址与手工断面位置不一致为前提,利用累乘指数判断选址可行性,在可行的基础上利用模糊综合评价进一步分析选址的适宜性。应用案例显示,罗汉大桥断面水质自动站选址于手工断面下游150 m处是可行的,并且此选址高度适宜,在具有水质代表性的同时兼顾成本和运维管理需求。

城市开发边界的划定能够合理引导城市空间的有序发展,控制其无序蔓延。论文以典型的资源型城市贵溪市为研究区,从空间适宜性评价、人口承载力、城市规模以及城市总体规划和土地利用总体规划（简称“两规”）衔接等方面探索有效的城市开发边界划定方法。空间适宜性评价综合考虑自然、空间可达性和生态条件,运用聚类分析法确定区域内不宜作为开发建设的生态底线区域和适宜建设开发区域的高低等级,以此确定城市开发边界的发展方向。通过灰色预测GM(1,1)模型预测研究区2020年人口总量,并基于土地资源和水资源承载力验证当地所能容纳的最大人口总量,同时确定城市规模和划定城市开发边界。以空间适宜性评价、人口承载力、城市规模预测、两规衔接和空间形态控制等方法倒逼缩减建设用地,从而划定城市发展的刚性和弹性增长边界。     

Associating Ecosystem Service Losses with Indicators of Toxicity in Habitat Equivalency Analysis

Habitat equivalency analysis (HEA) was developed as a tool to scale mitigation or restoration when habitat is contaminated by hazardous substances or has been otherwise harmed by anthropogenic activities. Applying HEA involves balancing reductions in habitat quality against gains from restoration actions, and quantifying changes in habitat quality in terms of ecological services. We propose a framework for developing ecological service definitions and measures that incorporate knowledge about the impacts of chemical contaminants on biota. We describe a general model for integrating multiple lines of evidence about the toxicity of hazardous substances to allow mapping of toxicological inputs to ecological service losses. We provide an example of how this framework might be used in a HEA that quantifies ecological services provided by estuarine sediments contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.     

RESEARCH: Warmwater Stream Bank Protection and Fish Habitat: A Comparative Study

/ Fishes and their habitats were sampled in Harland Creek, Mississippi, for 3 years to compare the relative value of three types of bank treatment in an incised, warmwater stream. Semiannual samples were collected from 10 reaches: 3 reaches protected by each of the three types of protection (longitudinal stone toe, stone spurs, and dormant willow posts) and an unprotected, slowly eroding bend. Protection of concave banks of bends had no measurable effect on the habitat quality of downstream riffles. Although bends and adjacent downstream riffles were faunistically similar at the species level, catostomids and centrarchids were more dominant in pools and smaller cyprinids more dominant in riffles. Reaches with willow posts were slightly deeper than the others, most likely because of geomorphic factors rather than bank treatment. Mean water surface widths in reaches stabilized with stone spurs were 40% to 90% greater than for other treatments, and current velocities were greatest in reaches with stone toe. Patterns of fish abundance and species diversity did not differ significantly among treatments. However, principal components analysis indicated that the fish species distribution associated with the untreated reference site was distinct. Reaches stabilized with stone spurs supported significantly higher densities of large fish and higher levels of fish biomass per unit channel length than reaches with other bank treatments, generally confirming previous research in the region. Initial costs for spurs were comparable to those for stone toe and about three times greater than for willow posts.     

Testing a GIS Model of Habitat Suitability for a Declining Grassland Bird

Demand for information that can be used to manage loggerhead shrikes has recently increased because of concern over declining populations and loss of open, non-forested habitat. A previously-developed habitat model was modified to predict shrike habitat quality on Fort Riley Military Reservation (FRMR) in Kansas. Shrike habitat suitability indices were calculated based on the amount of potential and usable foraging habitat, and the number of potential nesting sites within a specified area. Interpretation of high quality digital photographs was used to delineate land cover classes, hedgerows and tree counts. These data were entered into a geographic information system (GIS) as individual data sets. The shrike habitat model was then employed to produce a GIS database predicting low, moderate, and high quality shrike habitat throughout the Reservation. Model results indicated that 67% of the Reservation was suitable habitat for loggerhead shrikes. Although over 80% of FRMR was mapped as grassland, the presence of few to several isolated trees or hedgerows was identified as a key factor in modeling habitat suitability. The accuracy of the GIS model was 82% in predicting suitable (moderate and high quality) loggerhead shrike habitat using an independent set of 66 recent shrike observations. The number of potential nesting sites and percent cover of usable foraging habitat were significantly related to habitat suitability of the sites occupied by shrikes.
