新型填料A/O生物滤池处理低碳氮比农村污水脱氮

针对低碳氮比导致低污染农村污水生物处理时出水总氮(total nitrogen, TN)质量浓度高不能满足排放标准的问题,以普通砾石A/O生物滤池为对照组(1号),采用芦竹和活性炭分别作为缺氧段和好氧段填料的A/O生物滤池(2号)处理人工模拟农村污水并研究其脱氮效果.结果表明,当进水化学需氧量(chemical oxygen demand, COD)、氨氮(ammonia nitrogen, NH⁺₄-N)和TN质量浓度分别为(79.47±14.21)、(34.49±2.08)和(34.73±3.87)mg·L^-1时,两套装置对COD、NH⁺₄-N和TN的去除率分别为(88.00±7.00)%和(89.00±10.00)%、(90.00±2.00)%和(97.00±7.00)%、(37±15)%和(68±7)%,表明添加新型填料芦竹和活性炭能显著增强A/O生物滤池对NH⁺₄-N和TN的去除.高通量测序结果显示, 1号装置中参与硝化过程...

北方重工业城市降水pH值与相关因素关系的研究

针对北方重工业城市出现的酸性降水和pH值降低的现象,采用集中监测、纵横对比、统计分析的方法,对降水pH值现状及与相关因子的关系进行了研究。结果显示,降水pH值依污染源排放的烟(粉)量的减少、环境空气中总悬浮微粒浓度的降低、机动车保有量的增加而向酸性发展,空气质量好的区域易发生酸雨,北方重工业城市"尘"重点治理以后酸雨和二氧化硫污染将出现加重趋势。仅靠削减二氧化硫排放量控制污染是不够的,重工业城市必须综合防治。     

水污染指数法在河流水质评价中的应用研究

为满足我国水质评价与管理的需要,针对单因子评价法和综合污染指数法在水质评价中存在的问题,提出了水污染指数法。采用该方法对湘江干流2009年的水质状况进行了试评价,并将评价结果与单因子评价法、综合污染指数法、模糊综合评判法以及主成分分析法的评价结果进行了对比。结果表明,水污染指数法在水质类别评价、水质定量评价、主要污染指标识别、劣Ⅴ类水体水质比较等方面均具有明显优势,同时,该方法计算过程简单、易掌握,具有较强的推广、应用价值。     

Guidelines for genetic monitoring of translocated plant populations

Plant translocation is a useful tool for implementing assisted gene flow in recovery plans of critically endangered plant species. Although it helps to restore genetically viable populations, it is not devoid of genetic risks, such as poor adaptation of transplants and outbreeding depression in the hybrid progeny, which may have negative consequences in terms of demographic growth and plant fitness. Hence, a follow-up genetic monitoring should evaluate whether the translocated populations are genetically viable and self-sustaining in the short and long term. The causes of failure to adjust management responses also need to be identified. Molecular markers and fitness-related quantitative traits can be used to determine whether a plant translocation enhanced genetic diversity, increased fitness, and improved the probability of long-term survival. We devised guidelines and illustrated them with studies from the literature to help practitioners determine the appropriate genetic survey methods so that management practices can better integrate evolutionary processes. These guidelines include methods for sampling and for assessing changes in genetic diversity and differentiation, contemporary gene flow, mode of local recruitment, admixture level, the effects of genetic rescue, inbreeding or outbreeding depression and local adaptation on plant fitness, and long-term genetic changes.
