湿地挺水植物根系土壤中的磷形态变化与分析

以野鸭湖湿地中扁秆藨草、芦苇和茭白3种优势挺水植物为研究对象,利用化学连续提取法对根际和非根际土壤中不同形态无机磷和有机磷进行分级提取,分析了不同形态磷的含量特点和分布规律,探讨了植物对磷素的潜在吸收机制.结果表明,根际Ca-P含量均显著低于非根际,Ex-P、Fe-P和Oc-P相反.4种形态有机磷含量均为根际高于非根际,表现出累积的趋势.根际Ca-P/TP值显著小于非根际,说明植物将有效性低的Ca-P形态大量转化为其他形态无机磷以供自身利用;根际HR-OP/TP值小于非根际,而MR-OP/TP大于非根际,表明稳定有机磷形态有向活性高的有机磷转化的趋势;TIP/TP均为根际小于非根际,而TOP/TP根际大于非根际,推测根系在吸收利用磷素的过程中主要吸收无机磷,同时积聚大量有机磷供转化后利用.     

湿地挺水植物凋落物立枯分解研究进展

在许多湿地生态系统中,挺水植物立枯常组成凋落物总量的主要部分,其分解过程研究对于正确评价湿地生态系统的碳收支状况具有重要意义。对立枯分解过程与传统研究中凋落物分解过程的差异,分解过程中的 CO2排放,立枯分解的研究方法,以及分解过程的影响因素进行了综述。一般认为,湿地挺水植物立枯与传统研究中凋落物所处环境的差异造成了分解过程的差异,其分解过程中产生 CO2是湿地温室气体排放的重要途径;凋落袋和红外气体分析仪是湿地挺水植物立枯分解研究的主要方法;真菌组成了立枯体上微生物的大部分,对于立枯分解具有重要作用;环境因子（温度、水分等）和“基质质量”是影响挺水植物立枯分解过程的重要因素。在全球变化背景下,气候变化因子会直接或间接影响凋落物立枯分解过程,引起对气候变化的反馈,因此,在全球范围内开展气候变化对于湿地生态系统挺水植物立枯分解影响的研究具有重要的意义,必将成为凋落物研究的一个重要方向。

湿地挺水植物根际金属离子的分布及界面扩散通量

挺水植物作为湿地生态系统的重要组成部分,其根系的生长发育过程影响其环境功能的发挥及其根土和水土界面环境生物地球化学过程。界面的氧化还原异质环境是金属离子发生扩散、沉淀和溶解以及吸附和解析等许多瞬时过程的重要场所,这些过程对金属离子在固相和水相的分配起着重要的作用。获取金属离子赋存特征和定量评估大型挺水植物生长对其界面行为的影响,是了解金属离子在界面环境生物地球化学过程的关键环节。利用高分辨率沉积物原位间隙水采样技术（Pore Water Equilibrators,Peeper）获得芦苇、香蒲和茭草3种挺水植物根际与非根际溶液中Al3＋、Fe3＋、Mn2＋和Ca2＋的剖面分布特征,并利用Fick第一定律定量估算它们在沉积物-水界面的扩散通量。结果表明：湿地沉积物孔隙水中Al3＋、Fe3＋、Mn2＋和Ca2＋的含量较上覆水存在着明显的富集现象。其中Fe3＋、Mn2＋分布受大型挺水植物影响最为显著,且随沉积物深度增加,富集效应有进一步加剧趋势。从剖面垂向分布来看,Al3＋含量的峰值靠近沉积物的表层,而Fe3＋、Ca2＋和Mn2＋含量峰值出现位置相对较深存在于沉积物中下层。与无植被的对照区域相比,4种金属离子含量在植物根区附近显著升高（P〈0.05）,其中Al3＋、Fe3＋和Ca2＋受芦苇生长过程影响最为明显,其在根际孔隙水中峰值含量达18.3、513和5408μmol·L-1,较对照分别增加了6.0、2.5及25.8倍,芦苇根际效应显著高于香蒲和茭草。多重比较分析结果显示,Mn2＋在根区的分布受茭草影响最大,在根区孔隙水中浓度为21~97μmol·L-1较对照区的1.1~52.5μmol·L-1,平均浓度增加65%。受植物根区环境的影响,Fe3＋和Ca2＋在植物根区释放速率明显加快,其中茭草根区释放速率分别为（35.38±3.05）和（240.18±20.71）μmol·m-2·d-1较对照区增加10倍;另外湿地植物存在直接导     

沉水植物对阿特拉津胁迫的毒理响应

为揭示在阿特拉津胁迫下沉水植物生长及其与谷胱甘肽代谢途径的关系,通过培养实验研究了沉水植物菹草(Potamogeton crispus)和穗花狐尾藻(Myriophyllum spicatum)对0、0.5、1.0和2.0 mg·kg~(-1)阿特拉津的吸收特性,并对不同培养时期沉水植物的鲜重、总谷胱甘肽含量(T-GSH,即还原型谷胱甘肽GSH和氧化型谷胱甘肽GSSG之和)、GSH/GSSG比值及其形态变化、谷胱甘肽还原酶(GR)活性和谷胱甘肽-S-转移酶(GST)活性进行了测定。结果表明:沉积物阿特拉津初始浓度越高,植物体内阿特拉津浓度也越高。在培养60 d内,添加的阿特拉津对2种沉水植物的生长均产生显著抑制作用(P0.05)。在阿特拉津胁迫60 d后,各处理植物体内GSH/GSSG比值有所回升,其GR和GST活性均高于空白对照组。处理组植物体内GR和GST活性在30 d时达到最高值。与此同时,GSH脱去谷氨酸后能与阿特拉津形成共轭物。以上结果提示,≤2 mg·kg~(-1)阿特拉津在培养前60 d内会对植物生长产生抑制,但在90 d时植物会从伤害中恢复过来。沉水植物体内的谷胱甘肽在GR和GST作用下,对阿特拉津及其产生的活性氧具有一定去除作用,并通过控制酶活使植物体保持一定的GSH含量;另一方面,GSH可以与阿特拉津结合形成新的共轭物,以此缓解阿特拉津对沉水植物的毒害。     

Effects of previous drying of sediment on root functional traits and rhizoperformance of emerged macrophytes

• Sediment desiccation alters morphological characteristics of aquatic sediment. • Alternation in morphological properties of sediment limiting root characteristics. • Fibrous-rooted macrophytes root properties extra favor nutrients removal. • Thick-rooted macrophytes exhibit higher life-span in two sediment types. Purpose of the current study was to investigate the effects of constantly wet and dried-rewetted sediments on root functional traits of emerged macrophytes and their nutrients removal abilities. It is based on the hypothesis that root characteristics and nutrients removal abilities of plants will be altered in the course of sediment desiccation. Four emerged macrophytes including two fibrous-root plants (Canna indica and Acorus calamus) and two thick-root plants (Alocasia cucullata and Aglaonema commutatum) were investigated for their root functional traits and rhizoperformance in both wet and dried-rewetted sediments. Results showed that sediment desiccation followed by rewetting substantially altered the root functional traits (root surface area, radial oxygen loss, and root activity) of plants due to adverse changes in morphological characteristics (porosity, bulk density, particle density) of dried-rewetted sediments than by wet sediments. Consequently, limited plants growth and removal of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) were recorded in dried-rewetted sediments and their pore water than in wet sediments. Radial oxygen loss from plant roots correlated positively with root functional traits, plants growth, and removal of N, P and DOC from pore water and sediment in both sediment types. Among the macrophyte species, the fibrous-root plants having advantages root functional traits, greatly influenced the rhizospheric conditions (pH, dissolved oxygen and redox potential), and demonstrated higher N, P and DOC reduction from both sediment types. While, the thick-rooted plants with thick diameter roots (D > 1 mm) and higher rhizome exhibited longer life-span in both sediment types.     

4种典型沉水植物对去除镉污染底泥的应用效果

本研究选取4种典型沉水植物黑藻（Hydrilla verticillata）、伊乐藻（Elodea canadensis）、菹草（Potamogeton crispus）和金鱼藻（Ceratophyllum demersum）,通过对植物叶绿素含量及抗氧化酶活性的检测来分析植物对镉的耐受效应,并借助生物/底泥富集因子（BSAF）和植物转运因子（TF）来了解植物的富集能力,最后通过植物组织化学方法来揭示镉在沉水植物体内的分布情况,以期为沉水植物的实际应用提供理论支持.结果表明,除金鱼藻以外的3种植物对底泥镉污染有不同耐受能力,其中黑藻和伊乐藻的耐受能力最强.在底泥镉含量不超过20mg·kg^-1时,菹草的富集能力最强（BSAF为2.32）.金鱼藻在本实验中BSAF均小于1.0,说明根在镉污染底泥的植物修复中起着重要作用.比较不同植物的TF可以发现,黑藻根部对镉的地上转运能力最强,而菹草主要将镉富集于植物根部,同时与其他植物不同,在镉含量为50mg·kg^-1时,镉已均匀分布在菹草茎部细胞器中.综合植物对镉污染的耐受和富集机制,并结合实际情况,最终将黑藻和菹草选为修复含镉底泥的理想植物,同时结合植物不同的转运能力,建议可仅去除黑藻的地上部分,而及时定期连根拔除菹草.     

Monitoring of Aquatic Macrophytes for Detection of Long-term Change in River Systems

This paper presents details of the methodology developed by the United Kingdom's Environmental Change Network for the long-term monitoring of macrophytes in rivers and streams. The methodology is based on techniques first proposed by the Standing Committee of Analysts (1987) and later adapted by the National Rivers Authority (NRA) and Environment Agency, but differs in splitting the surveyed 100 m stretch of waterinto sections to provide an objective measure of the frequencyof occurrence of individual species in place of the moresubjective estimation of cover. A pilot study of the ECN methodology took place at five sitesin 1997. The results of this study, including a few practicaldifficulties in the application of the methodology, are presented and discussed. For all but one of the sites strongassociations were found between the number of species observedand the physical characteristics of the watercourse. The most important characteristics were degree of shading, substrate type, depth and clarity. The frequency of occurrence of individual species within sections of the watercourse was foundto be strongly related to the log of the overall estimates of cover. Because the use of sections, rather than a single overall coverestimate, enables variation in the pattern of vegetation over surveyed stretches to be detected and related to watercourse characteristics, the precision with which change can be detected is increased, and the possibility of determining the causes of change is thereby enhanced. Moreover the use of sections allows within-site variation to be calculated and hence the accuracy of estimated changes to be quantified.In general implementation of the ECN methodology was not found to be particularly onerous or difficult. As a result of the pilot study some changes in the ECN methodology have been made, primarily to reduce the workload so that sites can be surveyed comfortably in a single day.     

Bioassessment of silvicultural impacts in streams and wetlands of the Eastern United States

Bioassessment is a useful tool to determine the impact of logging practices on the biological integrity of streams and wetlands. Measuring biota directly has an intuitive appeal for impact assessment, and biota can be superior indicators to physical or chemical characteristics because they can reflect cumulative impacts over time. Logging can affect stream and wetland biota by increasing sedimentation rates, altering hydrologic, thermal, and chemical regimes, and changing the base of food webs. Biotic impacts of logging on streams compared to wetlands probably differ, and in this paper we review some of those differences. In streams, invertebrates, fishes, amphibians, algae, and macrophytes have been used as indicators of logging impacts. In wetlands, bioassessment is just beginning to be used, and plants and birds are the most promising indicator taxa. Various best management practices (BMPs) have been developed to reduce the impacts of logging on stream and wetland biota, and we review quantitative studies that have evaluated the efficacy of some of these techniques in streams and wetlands in the eastern United States. Remarkably few studies that address the overall efficacy of BMPs in limiting biotic changes in streams and wetlands after BMP implementation have been published in scientific journals, although some work exists in reports or is unpublished. We review these works, and compile conclusions about BMP efficacy for biota from this body of research.
