The ecological basis for simulating phytoplankton responses to environmental change (PROTECH)

The theory and mathematical development of a model, called PROTECH, are presented. The model simulates the dynamic responses of up to eight species of phytoplankton to environmental variability in lakes and reservoirs. PROTECH models were developed originally to fulfil a commercial, decision-support role in the management of industrial water quality, where plankton growth is an issue. The progressive refinements to the model nevertheless have a robust ecological basis. This makes PROTECH a promising tool for researching plankton community ecology. The model calculates exponents describing growth and attrition, from a base of the maximum growth rates of algal species in culture. Subject to defined thresholds, growth integrates variability in the fluxes of light and nutrients. The paper develops this philosophy and its embodiment into the structure of the model. Examples of its authenticated, validated and sensitivity-tested outputs are presented.

A vertical-compressed three-dimensional ecological model in Lake Taihu, China

A three-dimensional ecological model on the basis of the analyses of environmental characteristics is set up for Lake Taihu, one of the largest shallow lakes in China. The hydrodynamic processes, nutrient cycling, chemical processes and biological processes are integrated in the model. Model state variables include: water current, surface displacement, nutrients of nitrogen and phosphorus, as well as their different forms such as ammonia nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen, phosphate phosphorus, etc., biomasses of macroplankton, phytoplankton, zooplankton and fish, and also the nutrient levels of macroplankton and phytoplankton. A nutrient budget and sediment transformation are also coupled in the model. The data from January 17, 1997 to January 18, 1998 are use to calibrate the model. The model results have shown good agreement with the observations. It implies that the model could be used for the lake environmental management and research for examining the processes and determining the water quality. The reasons of deviations between the modelled results and the observed values are also discussed. There are six factors that explain the deviations of the modelled results from the observed values and they can be grouped into two sets. One set of problems is associated with the standard deviation introduced by sampling and analyses. The second set of problems can be solved by introduction of processes lacking in the present model (resuspension, phytoplankton transportation mode under the wind with low speed, shifts in species composition and varied size of phytoplankton and zooplankton). The latter two processes should be included in the model at a later stage by integration of a structurally dynamic approach into the three-dimensional model.     

用稳定同位素方法探讨大气颗粒物中硫的来源

以五级撞击式大气颗粒物采样器采集贵阳城、郊大气颗粒物样品,分析了不同粒径大气颗粒物的全硫同位素组成,以此为基础,探讨了大气颗粒物中硫的来源,同时初步查明了贵阳城、郊大气颗粒物全硫同位素组成在时间和粒径上的变化趋势：（1）大气颗粒物的硫同位素组成变化范围随粒径变小而减小。说明伴随粒径变小,颗粒物中硫的来源趋向简单,硫越来越多地由气相硫转化而来。（2）春季样品各级颗粒物的δ₃₄S值有低于夏季的趋势。这反映出,燃煤排放的SO2通量与生物源硫化物通量在时间上的消长关系是控制颗粒物中硫的来源构成的一个重要因素。     

淀山湖水华高发期浮游植物群落变化特征研究

根据2009年5～10月淀山湖浮游植物数量和种类的观测结果,对水华高发季节浮游植物群落组成特点及优势种交替过程进行分析,初步探讨这一时期浮游植物群落特征与环境因子的关系.结果表明,这一时期浮游植物主要由蓝藻和绿藻组成,蓝藻在密度上、绿藻在种类上占优势.水平分布上,西部和西南部的蓝藻密度值和种类数较高.总密度最高峰出现在9月,其值为23.40×107cells.L-1,其中蓝藻数量占90.3%,各样点间总密度差异显著(ANOVA,P<0.05).优势种在调查期间存在明显的交替现象,蓝藻门微囊藻属(Microcystis)藻类逐步成为优势种并形成水华.水温与pH是影响水华发生的重要环境因子,微囊藻受风向影响容易向下风向水域聚集形成水华.淀山湖中部和西部的浮游植物多样性较差,水华暴发时,全湖多样性指数降低,群落结构趋于简单.     

生态通道模型及其在水生态系统中的应用探讨

文章对生态通道Ecopath模型方法的提出及发展进行了简要介绍,并归纳了该方法在国内外水生态系统研究和管理中的应用,探讨了其应用过程中存在的问题。Ecopath模型目前主要应用在海洋生态系统中,因此在淡水生态系统应用具有一定的发展前景;在模型建立过程中,研究区域的生物种群动态及食性组成等基础研究的不足,会导致模型需要的食性数据难以获得,功能组的划分及数量较难把握,模型P/B、Q/B参数的计算及输入的准确性不高;对于Ecopath模型的敏感度分析、输入参数的不确定度分析及模拟效果的评估,在该模型发展及应用过程中将越来越受到关注。     

基于气溶胶光学特性的颗粒物来源分析

为初步探讨利用气溶胶光学指标判别污染物来源的适用性,选取天津市冬季一次重污染过程（2017年11月17—21日）,对气溶胶的七波段吸收系数、三波段散射系数及其化学组分进行在线观测及分析,研究气溶胶光学特性的变化,并结合化学组分定性分析污染过程不同阶段的污染来源.结果表明:SSA（单散射反照率）可以从散射性组分和吸光性组分对消光贡献的变化判断污染来源.污染积累期,颗粒物中散射性组分（SO₄2-、NO₃-、NH₄+）的增幅高于吸光性组分EC（元素碳）,导致污染积累期的SSA值高于污染前期和污染消散期,说明污染积累期存在较明显的二次转化过程.SAE（散射波长指数）可以从粒径角度推断污染来源.此次观测的污染积累期SAE值呈较明显的下降趋势,说明在细粒径段（2.5 μm以下）颗粒物粒径有增大的趋势,这主要与颗粒物中无机盐的吸湿增长及颗粒物之间的碰并有关.AAE（吸收波长指数）在一定程度上可以指示吸光颗粒物的类型.污染前期,BrC（棕色碳）在370、470 nm处对光吸收的贡献率分别为50.7%、33.8%;同期PM_2.5中ρ（Cl-）、ρ（K+）同步升高,卫星遥感显示,观测点周围有大量火点出现,推测主要受祭祖活动的影响.研究显示,气溶胶光学指标能够从散射性组分和吸光性组分对消光贡献变化、粒径变化、吸光颗粒物类型角度定性解析一部分污染来源,但其对于燃煤源和机动车等重要源类的指示作用还有待进一步研究.      

Chemical composition and source apportionment of PM10 and PM2.5 in different functional areas of Lanzhou, China

To elucidate the air pollution characteristics of northern China, airborne PM_10(atmospheric dynamic equivalent diameter ≤ 10 μm) and PM_(2.5)(atmospheric dynamic equivalent diameter ≤ 2.5 μm) were sampled in three different functional areas(Yuzhong County,Xigu District and Chengguan District) of Lanzhou, and their chemical composition(elements, ions, carbonaceous species) was analyzed. The results demonstrated that the highest seasonal mean concentrations of PM_10(369.48 μg/m~3) and PM_(2.5)(295.42 μg/m~3) were detected in Xigu District in the winter, the lowest concentration of PM_(2.5)(53.15 μg/m~3) was observed in Yuzhong District in the fall and PM_10(89.60 μg/m~3) in Xigu District in the fall.The overall average OC/EC(organic carbon/elemental carbon) value was close to the representative OC/EC ratio for coal consumption, implying that the pollution of Lanzhou could be attributed to the burning of coal. The content of SNA(the sum of sulfate, nitrate,ammonium, SNA) in PM_(2.5)in Yuzhong County was generally lower than that at other sites in all seasons. The content of SNA in PM_(2.5)and PM_10 in Yuzhong County was generally lower than that at other sites in all seasons(0.24–0.38), indicating that the conversion ratios from precursors to secondary aerosols in the low concentration area was slower than in the area with high and intense pollutants. Six primary particulate matter sources were chosen based on positive matrix factorization(PMF) analysis, and emissions from dust, secondary aerosols, and coal burning were identified to be the primary sources responsible for the particle pollution in Lanzhou.     

北京城区大气PM2.5主要化学组分构成研究

2012年8月至2013年7月期间,对北京市城区石景山、车公庄、东四和通州这4个点位开展为期一年的PM2.5化学组分研究,共获得样本220组,使用化学质量重构方法进行组分重构研究.结果表明,通过化学质量重构方法获得的PM2.5质量和实际测定PM2.5质量浓度具有很好的相关性,相关系数为0.95,其中春季、秋季和冬季相关系数均大于0.95以上,夏季稍差(0.77);采样期间4个点位的PM2.5主要组分OM、EC、SO2-4、NO-3、NH+4、Cl-、地壳元素、微量元素的质量浓度分别为31.4、3.8、19.9、21.6、14.4、4.0、15.4、2.9μg·m-3,分别占总组分的25.1%、3.0%、15.9%、17.2%、11.5%、3.2%、12.3%、2.3%,除地壳物质外各组分呈东高西低的趋势;2013年1月11日至14日重污染期间,OM、SO2-4、NO-3、NH+4的浓度是全年平均的1.9、5.0、3.2、4.2倍,SO2-4成为本次污染过程中最主要的组分.采暖期和非采暖期城区PM2.5最大的组分均为OM,采暖期相对非采暖期OM、NH+4、NO-3、SO2-4均有较大增幅,但地壳物质和EC相差不大,两个时期差异最大的组分为具有较强燃煤指示性的Cl-(4.4倍).对于化学质量重构结果的未知组分,其中城区PM2.5中水份约占6.0%,夏季颗粒物的水份最大(6.5%),春季和冬季相当,秋季较少(3.7%).     

唐山市2017年采暖期不同污染等级PM2.5化学组分特征对比与来源分析

为深入了解唐山市采暖期PM_2.5污染成因与来源,采用在线监测设备于2017年12月1日-2018年1月28日连续监测了唐山市PM_2.5及其水溶性离子和碳质组分（OC、EC）的质量浓度变化,并结合部分常规气体污染物及气象数据进行对比分析.结果表明:①相对湿度的增加和风速的降低促进了污染的发展.②清洁、轻中度污染和重污染时,SOR（硫氧化率）分别为0.05、0.08、0.20,NOR（氮氧化率）分别为0.05、0.12、0.26,随着污染的加重,SO₂、NO_x向PM_2.5中SO₄2-、NO₃-的二次转化现象更加明显.③清洁时,ρ（OC）、ρ（EC）、ρ（SO₄2-）和ρ（Cl-）占PM_2.5化学组分（水溶性离子、碳质组分）质量浓度总和的68%,主要污染源为燃煤;清洁、轻中度污染和重污染时,ρ（NO₂）/ρ（SO₂）分别为0.96、1.14、1.44,ρ（NO₃-）/ρ（SO₄2-）分别为0.94、1.57和1.75;重污染时,ρ（SO₄2-）、ρ（NO₃-）、ρ（NH₄+）三者之和占PM_2.5化学组分质量浓度总和的61%,二次污染物成为主要污染源.④观测期,唐山市轻中度污染和重污染时,受经北京市、天津市等唐山市西部地区方向气团影响频率分别为61%、63%,受该方向气团影响时,ρ（NO₂）/ρ（SO₂）、ρ（NO₃-）/ρ（SO₄2-）明显增大.研究显示,相较于燃煤排放物在大气污染物中的占比变化,随着污染的加重,工业工艺和机动车尾气排放产生的污染物占比明显增大,区域传输对大气污染影响不可忽略,政府有必要开展区域联防联控、停产限产和限行限号的措施.
