海州湾海洋牧场海域表层沉积物磷的形态与环境意义

采用沉积物无机磷分级方法结合上覆水初级生产力测定研究了海州湾海洋牧场海域表层沉积物磷的赋存形态及其生物有效性.结果表明:夏季总磷的含量高于春、秋两季,赋存形态以无机磷为主,平均占总磷的45.50%,各无机磷赋存形态的含量大小依次为:残渣态磷钙结合态磷铁铝结合态磷可交换态磷.其中可交换态磷、铁铝结合态磷以及钙结合态磷与有机碳含量成显著正相关(P0.01,R0.8).平面分布整体上呈现由近岸向远岸减小的趋势,这主要与陆源物质排放及沉积物自身质地有关.沉积物中的生物有效磷含量占总磷的36.95%,所占比例较大.     

辽东湾网采浮游植物粒级结构的胁迫响应

基于2012~2014年春、夏、秋、冬季辽东湾网采浮游植物及环境因子的调查资料,对辽东湾南、北2个区域的浮游植物粒级结构分布规律及其环境胁迫响应进行了分析,并评估了浮游植物群落结构的稳定性.结果表明,辽东湾海域浮游植物春、夏、秋季丰度主要集中在小粒径范围,冬季主要集中在中粒径范围;生物量春、夏、秋季主要集中在中粒径范围,冬季主要集中在大粒径范围,南部区域浮游植物粒径整体上大于北部区域.寡营养水域以及较低的水温环境更适于大粒径浮游植物生存.春、秋、冬季浮游植物群落结构比较稳定,但夏季偏离平衡点.南部区域群落结构整体上比北部区域稳定,网采中、大粒径组的W统计量可以作为浮游植物群落结构稳定性的评估指标.     

大亚湾浮游植物DNA指纹及其与群落结构的关系

于2012年5月、6月采集了大亚湾9个站点的表层水样,利用PCR-变性梯度凝胶电泳(PCR-DGGE)技术对浮游植物DNA指纹进行了分析,同时通过显微镜观察对浮游植物进行了定性定量分析.研究结果显示,大亚湾浮游植物种类丰富,共分析鉴定出浮游植物72种;浮游植物DNA指纹也较为丰富,2个月份指纹条带数分别为26条和28条.DGGE指纹条带数一般远远低于浮游植物种类数,在剔除了相对含量小于0.1%的非优势种后,DNA条带数与种类数变化趋势相近,说明DNA指纹图谱能较大程度地反映浮游植物优势种群的组成,而对于相对含量较少的物种,可能会由于优势种的屏蔽作用而被掩盖.DNA指纹图谱与浮游植物群落结构的聚类分析结果相近,富营养化的近岸站点聚在一起,而远岸站点聚为一类.虽然目前大亚湾浮游植物群落结构中以硅藻占据优势,但在某些站点大量出现的甲藻和蓝细菌值得进一步关注.本研究结果表明PCR-DGGE技术可在一定程度上运用于浮游植物群落结构分析.     

底栖生物完整性指数的构建及生物基准的确定

基于2009～2013年7个航次渤海湾天津段的大型底栖动物和水质、沉积物环境数据,结合国内外已有的研究结果,首次尝试采用AZTI海洋生物指数以及水质和沉积物质量确定参考点,同时采取标准化方法筛选生物指标,确定各指标的阈值分级标准,从而构建出生物完整性指数.取参考点生物完整性指数值的90%分位数作为基准值,得出该海域生物基准值为5.适用性验证结果表明,生物完整性指数能够较好地指示研究区受干扰的生态质量状况,较为敏感地响应营养盐及重金属压力,也适用于评价该区域的底栖生态质量状况.因此,采用生物完整性指数法来确定生物基准是合理可行的.     

Spatial and Temporal Patterns of Low Streamflow and Precipitation Changes in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed

Spatial and temporal patterns in low streamflows were investigated for 183 streamgages located in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed for the period 1939–2013. Metrics that represent different aspects of the frequency and magnitude of low streamflows were examined for trends: (1) the annual time series of seven‐day average minimum streamflow, (2) the scaled average deficit at or below the 2% mean daily streamflow value relative to a base period between 1939 and 1970, and (3) the annual number of days below the 2% threshold. Trends in these statistics showed spatial cohesion, with increasing low streamflow volume at streamgages located in the northern uplands of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed and decreasing low streamflow volume at streamgages in the southern part of the watershed. For a small subset of streamgages (12%), conflicting trend patterns were observed between the seven‐day average minimum streamflow and the below‐threshold time series and these appear to be related to upstream diversions or the influence of reservoir‐influenced streamflows in their contributing watersheds. Using multivariate classification techniques, mean annual precipitation and fraction of precipitation falling as snow appear to be broad controls of increasing and decreasing low‐flow trends. Further investigation of seasonal precipitation patterns shows summer rainfall patterns, driven by the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation, as the main driver of low streamflows in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed.     

杭州湾南岸滨海平原土地利用/覆被空间格局变化分析

杭州湾南岸滨海平原位于沪、杭、甬经济金三角的中心地带,是我国沿海经济最发达的地区之一。研究其土地利用/覆被空间格局变化对合理利用土地资源,促进沿海地区的可持续发展具有重要意义。利用1987年和2000年2个时期的TM影像,分析了杭州湾南岸滨海平原土地利用/覆被数量及空间格局变化特征。结果表明,杭州湾南岸滨海平原建设用地、水体和养殖用地呈现明显的增长趋势,水田、旱地、滩地、林地和盐田呈减少趋势。受自然和人类活动的共同影响,土地利用/覆被类型斑块平均面积由0.245 km2降至0.173 km2,斑块密度则由4.081个/km2提高到5.781个/km2,斑块数量增加了42%。由于斑块的破碎化,大部分土地利用/覆被类型的边界密度、形态指数、分维数和斑块密度都有不同程度的增加。城市化和非农化的发展使得建设用地格局指数变化表现出一定的特殊性。     

Influence of human activity and monsoon dynamics on spatial and temporal hydrochemistry in tropical coastal waters (Sanya Bay,South China Sea)

Human activities and oceanic influences like mixing and/or upwelling define the hydrochemical and biological characteristics of coastal regions. In Sanya Bay, northern South China Sea, the balance between these two influences on spatial and temporal scales is poorly understood. The influence from human activities was due to discharge from Sanya River, whereas the most important marine influence was related to seasonal changes in hydrodynamics. Spatial differences (p<0.05) in total nitrogen (TN) and chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) were observed. Seasonal differences were observed for temperature and nutrients. Human activities are the dominant factor influemcing hydrochemistry in the inner bay. This region exhibited the maximum influence of discharge from Saya River as estimated by higher nutrient levels. Oceanic influences like upwelling and mixing caused by monsoons are the dominant factors influencing hydrochemistry in the central and outer bay. Both human activities and oceanic influences play important roles in coastal ecosystems in Sanya Bay. This study has defined these characteristics so that better management policies can be enacted.     

Invasive species impacts on ecosystem structure and function: A comparison of the Bay of Quinte, Canada, and Oneida Lake, USA, before and after zebra mussel invasion

As invasion rates of exotic species increase, an ecosystem level understanding of their impacts is imperative for predicting future spread and consequences. We have previously shown that network analyses are powerful tools for understanding the effects of exotic species perturbation on ecosystems. We now use the network analysis approach to compare how the same perturbation affects another ecosystem of similar trophic status. We compared food web characteristics of the Bay of Quinte, Lake Ontario (Canada), to previous research on Oneida Lake, New York (USA) before and after zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) invasion. We used ecological network analysis (ENA) to rigorously quantify ecosystem function through an analysis of direct and indirect food web transfers. We used a social network analysis method, cohesion analysis (CA), to assess ecosystem structure by organizing food web members into subgroups of strongly interacting predators and prey. Together, ENA and CA allowed us to understand how food web structure and function respond simultaneously to perturbation. In general, zebra mussel effects on the Bay of Quinte, when compared to Oneida Lake, were similar in direction, but greater in magnitude. Both systems underwent functional changes involving focused flow through a small number of taxa and increased use of benthic sources of production; additionally, both systems structurally changed with subgroup membership changing considerably (33% in Oneida Lake) or being disrupted entirely (in the Bay of Quinte). However, the response of total ecosystem activity (as measured by carbon flow) differed between both systems, with increasing activity in the Bay of Quinte, and decreasing activity in Oneida Lake. Thus, these analyses revealed parallel effects of zebra mussel invasion in ecosystems of similar trophic status, yet they also suggested that important differences may exist. As exotic species continue to disrupt the structure and function of our native ecosystems, food web network analyses will be useful for understanding their far-reaching effects.     

渤海湾可溶性无机氮时空变异状况分析

以渤海湾17个监测点11年来可溶性无机氮(DIN)监测数据为研究对象,采用箱线图,相关分析,Mann-Kendall及样条插值等技术方法,分析渤海湾1996—2006年17个监测点ρ(DIN)的统计学特征、季节差异性和时空变化状况,以及引起ρ(DIN)时空变化的原因.结果表明:各监测时期渤海湾ρ(DIN)大多表现为正偏态分布. 在33个监测时段内,2号,4号和6号监测点所在海区ρ(DIN)最高,说明陆源污染及港口发展对渤海湾ρ(DIN)的贡献不容忽视. 丰水期ρ(DIN)与平水期显著相关,而枯水期ρ(DIN)与丰水期和平水期的相关性不显著. 在时间特征上,ρ(DIN)表现为先增加后平稳而后快速增加的趋势;在空间分布上,ρ(DIN)表现为北高南低,近岸高离岸低的趋势.      

粤港澳大湾区陆源氮污染来源结构与空间分布

入海河流携带的陆源总氮污染是海域无机氮的主要来源,粤港澳大湾区（GBA）近岸海域无机氮污染严重,劣四类水质分布广泛,厘清粤港澳大湾区陆域总氮排放规模、来源结构和排海压力,对海域氮污染治理有重要意义.基于土地利用、社会经济统计和污染普查资料等多源数据,从行政区单元和流域单元估算粤港澳大湾区及周边城市的总氮排放规模、来源结构及其区域差异.结果表明：①研究区陆域总氮排放量约33.25万t,居民生活是主要污染源,占55.4%,其次为种植业,占28.18%,养殖业和工业生产的污染贡献相对有限.②总氮排放的区域差异明显,粤港澳大湾区11个城市的总氮排放量（23.14万t）显著高于其周边8个城市（10.11万t）.③海域污染分布状况与陆源氮污染排放压力强度具有空间一致性,东江流域、西北江三角洲流域和潭江流域污染排放量最大,其岸段承载的排放压力也最大,对应的伶仃洋、珠海金湾海域和黄茅海污染严重.
