Altitude dependence of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in surface soil from Tibetan Plateau, China

Remote mountain areas besides high latitude regions are beginning to receive increased attention in studying the transport and behavior of persistent organic pollutants (POPs). In the present work, surface soil samples were collected from the Tibetan Plateau, the highest plateau in the world which includes the northern slope of Mt. Qomolangma, to investigate the levels and trends of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) along the altitudinal gradient. The average PCB and PBDE concentrations were 185.6 ng kg⁻¹ dry weight (dw) (range 47.1–422.6 ng kg⁻¹ dw) and 11.1 ng kg⁻¹ dw (range 4.3–34.9 ng kg⁻¹ dw), respectively. Regression analysis between the log-transformed TOC-normalized concentrations and the altitudes of the sampling sites showed two opposite trends with regard to altitude dependence: negative relationship with altitude below about 4500 m followed by a positive altitude dependence above this point. Considering minimum anthropogenic activities and very sparse precipitation in the north of Himalayas, the trends above 4500 m imply that the significant altitude dependence of these two groups of POPs were irrespective of pollution sources, but could be predicted by the global distillation effect involving cold condensation in high altitude mountain areas. Increasing levels of heavier congeners were found in higher altitude sites, although the lighter congeners were the main contributors to the total amount, suggesting that less volatile congeners seem to become enriched easier than those more volatile at higher altitudes in this region.

川西亚高山暗针叶林恢复初期土壤酶活性研究

研究以川西亚高山暗针叶林恢复过程中初级阶段的鲜类阔叶林（MBLF）、鲜类针阔混交林（MCBLF）和箭竹阔叶林（BBLF）土壤为研究对象,针对不同森林类型采用多点分层[0-10 cm（A层）、10-20 cm（B层）、20-30 cm（C层）和30-40 cm（D层）]采样、测定混合样的方式,研究了不同森林类型不同土层土壤的pH值、有机碳、全氮、全磷含量及脲酶、酸性磷酸酶、淀粉酶、过氧化氢酶、蛋白酶和蔗糖酶活性。研究结果表明,MBLF、MCBLF、BBLF不同土层土壤pH值均低于5.0,有机碳、全氮、全磷含量呈下降趋势,且有机碳、全氮与A层土壤差异显著（P〈0.05）。MBLF和BBLF随土层深度的增加脲酶活性较A层呈显著下降趋势（P〈0.05）,而MCBLF土壤脲酶活性以B、C层活性最高,分别为A层的1.22和1.08倍。蔗糖酶和酸性磷酸酶活性呈现先升后降的趋势,均以MCBLF活性最高;在林型MCBLF和BBLF中,随着土层深度的增加,蛋白酶和淀粉酶活性较A层显著降低（P〈0.05）,而MBLF、MCBLF、BBLF过氧化氢酶活性则一直呈显著下降趋势（P〈0.05）,D层过氧化氢酶活性分别为A层的60.21%、73.37%和46.84%。     

碳酸盐岩山地土壤施用有机肥的溶蚀作用探讨

选择碳酸盐岩山地常见耕植、未耕植土层,通过概化制作为系列模拟柱试验土层,按当地正常施肥方法,向土层定量施入有机肥并浇灌及控制其它相关条件变化,再定期观测预埋土层不同深度碳酸岩石片的溶蚀量和土层其它指标的变化,作了施用有机肥的土中碳酸岩石溶蚀变化研究。结果揭示,在未耕植红黏土表层施用有机肥,大大减弱了土中碳酸岩石的溶蚀作用,且减弱程度随土深加大而降低。但对其下伏碱性岩粉层而言,施肥又引起了溶蚀量的微小增加变化;另在耕植土表层施用有机肥,对其土中碳酸岩石的溶蚀作用改变不大,且无论施肥与否溶蚀作用随土深加大又略显增大变化。而其下部红黏土中碳酸岩石的溶蚀量要远大于耕植土中的溶蚀量,并受施肥的影响较小。表明,农业施肥对未耕植土土中包被、包裹的碳酸岩石溶蚀影响较大,对下伏碱性岩粉层的层中、层下碳酸岩石的溶蚀影响较小。同时,施肥对耕植土土中、土下碳酸岩石的溶蚀影响不大。人类可采取禁令开垦较薄土层措施,来有效规避耕作施肥对土中碳酸岩石溶蚀作用的抑制,减少反石漠化的不利因素。此将为丰富碳酸盐岩山地成土演化理论和石漠化灾害的防治提供依据。     

地形因子对暖温带森林群落物种丰富度-地上生物量关系的影响

地形因子是森林群落物种丰富度与生产力的重要影响因素,可以修正物种丰富度-生产力两者之间的关系。为了厘清地形因子对物种丰富度-生产力关系的修正效应,以东灵山暖温带天然次生林为研究对象,基于20 hm2样地DEM地图,提取海拔、坡度、坡向、凹凸度等地形因子,用GLM模型探讨了地形因子对群落丰富度与地上生物量的影响。结果表明,群落地上生物量与物种丰富度分别受不同地形因子的影响,群落地上生物量受Ea、El2、El3、Co34个因子的显著影响（P〈0.05）,而物种丰富度则受Sl、El、El2、El34个因子的显著作用（P〈0.05）,两者受海拔相关因子的影响最大,分别解释了两者3.99%和11.09%的变异。地形因子修正了物种丰富度-地上生物量之间的单峰曲线关系,使其朝着单调与直线化趋势变化。以后在探讨森林群落物种丰富度-生产力关系时,地形因子的修正作用应该受到重视。

INFLUENCES OF A FOREST ON THE HYDRAULIC GEOMETRY OF TWO MOUNTAIN STREAMS1

ABSTRACT The influence of a forest on the formation of steps in two small streams of the Colorado Rocky Mountains was studied. Steps provided by logs fallen across the channel added to flow energy reduction. The streams required additional gravel bars to adjust to slope. Average step length between logs and gravel bars was strongly related to channel gradient and median bed material size. Based on the average number of log steps per 50 feet of channel, an average of 116 percent of gravel bars were added at Fool Creek and 60 percent at Deadhorse Creek. The latter had 52 percent more logs in the channel and therefore required less bed material movement than the former. Although these are “rushing mountain streams,” most flow velocities ranged between 0.5 and 2.5 f.p.s. Exponents of a function relating rate of change of depth or velocity to discharge indicated that dynamic stream equilibrium was attained. Implications for forest management are that sanitation cuts (removal of dead and dying trees) would not be permissible where a stream is in dynamic equilibrium and bed material movement should be minimized.
