Environmental agencies across the United States have searched for adequate methods to assess anthropogenic impacts on the
environment. Biological assessments, which compare the taxonomic composition of an aquatic assemblage to relevant biocriteria,
have surfaced as an effective method to assess the ecological integrity of US waterbodies. In this study, bioassessment data
were collected and analyzed in conjunction with physical habitat and chemical stressor data for streams and rivers within
the San Diego basin from 1998 through 2005. Physical stressors such as sediment loading, riparian destruction, and in-stream
habitat homogenization affect many locations in the region. However, physical habitat measures alone were found to frequently
overestimate the biological integrity of streams in the region. Many sites within the San Diego Basin, although unaffected
by physical stressors, continue to exhibit low biological integrity scores. Sites with low biological integrity tend to possess
higher specific conductance and salinity compared to sites with high biological integrity. We suggest that one possible reason
for these differences is the source water used for municipal purposes. 相似文献

Polycylic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are commoncontaminants in industrial watersheds. Their origin,transport and fate are important to scientists,environmental managers and citizens. The Philadelphia NavalReserve Basin (RB) is a small semi-enclosed embayment nearthe confluence of the Schuylkill and Delaware Rivers inPennsylvania (USA). We conducted a study at this site todetermine the tidal flux of particles and particle-boundcontaminants associated with the RB. Particle traps wereplaced at the mouth and inside the RB and in the Schuylkilland Delaware Rivers. There was net particle deposition intothe RB, which was determined for three seasons. Spring andfall depositions were highest (1740 and 1230 kg ofparticles, respectively) while winter deposition wasinsignificant. PAH concentrations on settling particlesindicated a net deposition of 12.7 g PAH in fall and 2.1 gPAH in spring over one tidal cycle. There was nosignificant PAH deposition in the winter. Biodegradationrates, calculated from 14C-labeled PAH substratemineralization, could attenuate only about 0.25% of the PAHdeposited during a tidal cycle in fall. However, in thespring, biodegradation could be responsible for degrading50% of the settling PAHs. The RB appears to be a sink forPAHs in this watershed. 相似文献
