Organic and Inorganic Characterization of Marine Colloids

Isolates of the organic matter in the particulate, colloidal and dissolved states were obtained by tangential flow ultrafiltration through 0.40 μm polycarbonate and ∼ 1 nm (1000 NMWL*) regenerated cellulose membranes and by solid-liquid reverse phase extraction techniques. the material was analyzed qualitatively by mass spectroscopy, proton nuclear magnetic resonance, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, high performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection of labelled primary amines and amino acids, and inductively coupled plasma/mass spectroscopy. All three states are characterized by similar organic chemistries. the marine colloidal state in coastal waters off the Californian coast contains primarily carbohydrates, fatty acids, minor amounts of proteinaceous compounds and electropositive elements including aluminium and iron. Aromatic molecules and olefinic functional groups are in low concentration. the colloidal state differs qualitatively from the particulate and dissolved states. Yet all three could be derived, with degradation, from algal or macroalgal surface components.     

Coastal Management of Failaka Island, Kuwait

Failaka Island is one of the most important islands belonging to the State of Kuwait. With the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait on 2 August 1990, most of the activies on Failaka Island were destroyed. After the liberation of Kuwait, the Kuwaiti government decided to reconstruct the island for touristic and recreational purposes. Thus, a coastal development plan was needed. The presented study is an attempt to address the coastal zone management of the island. Based on the overall geomorphological features of the island, the coast was classified into four coastal zones. The wave and tidal conditions were identified around the island. The major items controlling the coastal development were specified. Accordingly, a detailed coastal zone management map for future development was developed. The overall goal was to provide decision-makers with guidelines for the future development of the island.     

Developments in Dutch coastline management: Conclusions from the second governmental coastal report

In 1990 the Dutch government decided to stop any further long-term landward retreat of the coastline. This policy choice for a ‘dynamic preservation’ is primarily aimed at safety against flooding and at sustainable preservation of the values and interests concerning the dunes and beaches. Five years later, a first overview of the benefits and bottlenecks of the new coastal defence policy could be presented, which was published in the second governmental coastal report ‘Kustbalans 1995’ (coastal balance 1995). This consists of three elements: (1) evaluation of the implementation of ‘dynamic preservation’, (2) the consequences of several natural and anthropogenic developments in the coastal zone and (3) integrated coastal zone management. The present report describes experiences of Dutch coastline management and summarizes the main conclusions of the second governmental report. The overall conclusion of the evaluation study is that the 1990 choice for ‘dynamic preservation’ was right. Sand supply is an effective method of coastline maintenance, which also serves functional uses in the beach and dune area. However, nearly a doubling of the supply volume is necessary to compensate for sand losses in the coastal zone. A more integrated management of the coastal zone is necessary to find an equilibrium between the interests of socio-economic development and the maintenance of a natural, dynamic system.     

The Scientific Basis of Marine Pollution Prevention Strategies

Prevention of marine pollution, particularly in semi-enclosed seas, embayments and areas with limited exchange of water, requires a well conceived and harmonized legal system, specified standards, a monitoring programme, and effective control and enforcement capabilities. This comprehensive approach is often called a strategy. Three generations of strategies have been devised and applied historically in Europe and North America, each a step further in integrating environmental protection, technical advancement and economic capabilities. the overpowering socio-economic problems of transition from a centrally planned to a market economy, a task facing a dozen central and eastern European coastal states, compound the problem of application of an integrated approach.

No management strategy can achieve its set goals unless based on scientific evidence. the data base has to offer information on two basic questions, one specific and one of a general nature.

The specific question is: Has the area under consideration some features, an activity, or one or more living species, which must be protected at any cost? the answer to this question will invoke the precautionary principle into strategic considerations, and leads to the general question: What is the carrying (= assimilative or environmental) capacity for each activity and for the discharge of each contaminant into the impacted area? Answers to these questions lead to the choice of the strategy for environmental management.

西北干旱区作物灌溉技术效率及影响因素

水资源短缺是制约西北干旱区可持续发展的硬约束,提高作物灌溉技术效率、压缩农业灌溉用水是缓解水资源供需矛盾的可能途径之一。基于2014年张掖市农户调研数据,采用DEA-Tobit模型,分析了黑河流域中段不同类型灌区作物灌溉技术效率及其影响因素。结果表明：（1）典型灌区主要作物灌溉技术效率均存在改进空间,节水潜力较大。在其他投入保持不变的情况下,如果典型灌区主要作物灌溉技术效率达到目前的最高水平,平原灌区生产同样产量的制种玉米和大田玉米,灌溉用水可分别减少34.47%和38.15%;北部荒漠灌区生产同样产量的棉花、制种西瓜和玉米套小麦,灌溉用水可分别减少48.42%、34.82%和22.99%;沿山灌区生产同样产量的小麦、马铃薯、大麦和大田玉米,灌溉用水可分别减少14.48%、30.75%、25.50%和35.96%。（2）不同灌区之间作物灌溉技术效率的变异系数与作物种植面积占比呈负向关系,同一灌区内部种植相同作物的农户生产管理水平存在明显差异。（3）农地细碎化程度和农户耕地面积扩大会降低作物灌溉技术效率,改善耕地质量能提高北部荒漠灌区作物灌溉技术效率,增加井水灌溉会提高平原灌区大田玉米和沿山灌区作物灌溉技术效率,灌溉次数与多数作物灌溉技术效率呈“倒U型”关系,而农户耕作需求及其对风险态度的影响需结合具体情况进行判断。合理确定种植规模、加快农地空间优化,因地制宜地改善耕地质量,完善水利设施、合理使用井灌、增强河水灌溉放水的灵活性,是提升黑河流域作物灌溉技术效率的主要途径。

大气氮沉降对三峡库区消落带土壤呼吸的影响

以三峡库区消落带落干期土壤为研究对象,采用室内模拟培养的方法,探讨了大气氮沉降通量及其组成对土壤呼吸的影响.结果表明,土壤呼吸速率对氮添加的响应为短期效应.1倍当前大气氮沉降添加下,无机氮和有机氮对土壤累积CO₂释放分别表现为无影响和抑制作用.除NH₄⁺-N在2倍氮沉降添加下表现为抑制作用外,2、3倍氮沉降添加均促进了土壤累积CO₂释放.与硝态氮相比,2、3倍氮沉降添加的铵态氮对土壤累积CO₂释放具有抑制作用.     

饱和多孔介质中DNAPL污染源区结构及质量溶出

为探究重非水相液体（DNAPL）在地下水中的运移和溶出行为,选取四氯乙烯（PCE）为代表,采用透射光法动态监测PCE在二维砂箱中的运移和分布,并以顶空气相色谱法监测其质量溶出,在此基础上通过乙醇冲洗来改变PCE分布,对比分析相应源区结构和溶出浓度的变化.结果表明：PCE的运移以垂向入渗为主,并伴随由毛细管力引起的横向迁移;污染源区面积和溶出浓度的变化具有明显一致性,均先迅速增大而后趋于平稳,由于泄露量小,70.7%的PCE以ganglia态残留在运移路径上.乙醇主要通过增溶作用改变污染源区结构,对PCE的空间展布影响弱,乙醇冲洗后ganglia态PCE占比增至99.6%,GTP值从2.4增至257.随着乙醇冲洗体积的增加,PCE源区面积从100cm²减至50cm²,对应溶出浓度从114mg/L减至12mg/L,二者呈较好的线性关系（R²=0.76）.此外,连续监测结果显示,在本研究的实验条件下,无论是否经过乙醇冲洗,PCE污染源区结构和其相应的质量溶出可以在一定时间内（至少16PVs）保持稳定.
