城市污泥有机氮矿化动态及其影响因素的研究

采用好气培养间歇淋洗法研究了厌气消化脱水污泥的有机氮矿化动态．在污泥用量为３％—２４％范围内，污泥有机氮１４周矿化率可达３１％—６５％，前６周矿化相对较快，随后减慢，其矿化动态可用经典一级动力学方程来描述．污泥用量小于６％时，随污泥用量增加，有机氮矿化率明显减小；污泥用量在６％—２４％时，污泥用量对有机氮矿化率的影响较小，但温度对有机氮矿化率影响相当明显．

Spatial variations in CO2 fluxes in a subtropical coastal reservoir of Southeast China were related to urbanization and land-use types

Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from aquatic ecosystems are important components of the global carbon cycle, yet the CO2 emissions from coastal reservoirs, especially in developing countries where urbanization and rapid land use change occur, are still poorly understood. In this study, the spatiotemporal variations in CO2 concentrations and fluxes were investigated in Wenwusha Reservoir located in the southeast coast of China. Overall, the mean CO2 concentration and flux across the whole reservoir were 41.85 ± 2.03 µmol/L and 2.87 ± 0.29 mmol/m2/h, respectively, and the reservoir was a consistent net CO2 source over the entire year. The land use types and urbanization levels in the reservoir catchment significantly affected the input of exogenous carbon to water. The mean CO2 flux was much higher from waters adjacent to the urban land (5.05 ± 0.87 mmol/m2/hr) than other land use types. Sites with larger input of exogenous substance via sewage discharge and upstream runoff were often the hotspots of CO2 emission in the reservoir. Our results suggested that urbanization process, agricultural activities, and large input of exogenous carbon could result in large spatial heterogeneity of CO2 emissions and alter the CO2 biogeochemical cycling in coastal reservoirs. Further studies should characterize the diurnal variations, microbial mechanisms, and impact of meteorological conditions on reservoir CO2 emissions to expand our understanding of the carbon cycle in aquatic ecosystems.     

Divergence in sink contributions to population persistence

Population sinks present unique conservation challenges. The loss of individuals in sinks can compromise persistence; but conversely, sinks can improve viability by improving connectivity and facilitating the recolonization of vacant sources. To assess the contribution of sinks to regional population persistence of declining populations, we simulated source–sink dynamics for 3 very different endangered species: Black‐capped Vireos (Vireo atricapilla) at Fort Hood, Texas, Ord's kangaroo rats (Dipodomys ordii) in Alberta, and Northern Spotted Owls (Strix occidentalis caurina) in the northwestern United States. We used empirical data from these case studies to parameterize spatially explicit individual‐based models. We then used the models to quantify population abundance and persistence with and without long‐term sinks. The contributions of sink habitats varied widely. Sinks were detrimental, particularly when they functioned as strong sinks with few emigrants in declining populations (e.g., Alberta's Ord's kangaroo rat) and benign in robust populations (e.g., Black‐capped Vireos) when Brown‐headed Cowbird (Molothrus ater) parasitism was controlled. Sinks, including ecological traps, were also crucial in delaying declines when there were few sources (e.g., in Black‐capped Vireo populations with no Cowbird control). Sink contributions were also nuanced. For example, sinks that supported large, variable populations were subject to greater extinction risk (e.g., Northern Spotted Owls). In each of our case studies, new context‐dependent sinks emerged, underscoring the dynamic nature of sources and sinks and the need for frequent re‐assessment. Our results imply that management actions based on assumptions that sink habitats are generally harmful or helpful risk undermining conservation efforts for declining populations.     

Current Contents of 90Sr and 137Cs in the Moss–Lichen Cover of Piedmont and Mountain Landscapes of the Northern Urals

The contents of long-lived artificial radionuclides, ⁹⁰Sr and ¹³⁷Cs, were determined in lichens and mosses of different taxa and in the samples of moss–lichen cover taken from the mountain and lowland plant communities of the Northern Urals. The effects of Chernobyl fallout and the dynamics of radionuclide contents in lichens and mosses were analyzed. The concentration of ¹³⁷Cs in the moss–lichen cover was higher in the mountain ecosystems than in the lowland plant communities.

长江经济带空气质量的时空分布特征及影响因素

基于2015~2018年空气质量实时监测数据，研究了长江经济带AQI的时空变化特征，从大气污染物排放量和气象因素两方面选取评价指标，利用地理探测器揭示了长江经济带AQI分布的影响因素及其季节变化.结果表明：2015~2018年长江经济带空气质量总体趋于改善，平均超标率由19.8%降至16.2%，除O₃超标率上升外，其余常规监测指标均有不同程度的下降.2017年开始O₃的超标率超过PM₁₀，成为长江经济带仅次于PM_2.5的大气污染物.AQI月变化曲线大体呈U型，具有冬春高、夏秋低的特点.长江经济带空气质量改善主要体现在冬、秋两季，O₃浓度的上升使夏季空气超标率上升，春季变化不大.AQI和空气超标率总体呈东高西低、北高南低的分布特征，其中上海、江苏、安徽中北部和浙江北部污染最严重，湖北中部和成渝地区其次，云南、贵州和四川西部空气质量良好.春夏季AQI的差异主要表现为东西向，秋冬季则主要表现为南北向.污染物排放量因子对长江经济带AQI分布有显著的正向影响，气象因子的影响方向则随季节变化而变化.全年和春、秋、冬3季AQI的分布格局主要由大气污染物排放量决定，夏季气象因子的影响力则更大.
