红枫湖富营养化水体生态修复中水生植物化学成分

高原山区深水型湖泊水深大、水位变化剧烈,不利于水生植物生长,通常的浅水湖泊生态修复技术难以应用.本文选取贵州红枫湖这一典型的高原深水湖泊作为试验点,在右二湖湾以浮岛为载体引种多种水生植物,并对植物根茎叶中的氮、磷及重金属成分进行了分析.结果表明:各水生植物氮含量为菹草＞鲁梅克斯＞聚合草,磷含量为菹草＞伊乐藻＞鲁梅克斯,氮、磷元素去除效果较好的植物为菹草、伊乐藻、鲁梅克斯;试验植物对重金属Cu、Cd、Pb、Zn和Hg均具有一定的耐受性,植物内不同重金属的累积浓度为Zn＞Pb＞Cu＞＞Cd＞Hg,重金属富集系数根＞叶＞茎,Zn/Cd比值为叶＞茎＞根;总体上,黑麦草、鲁梅克斯和菹草重金属的富集系数较高;植物中总氮(TN)与总磷(TP)含量呈显著正相关,重金属与营养元素之间不存在明显的相关性.试验表明,陆生植物依靠浮岛载体能在水面较好地生长,可应用于深水型湖泊污染水体生态修复.在实际应用时,需结合水体污染特点和植物吸收特性选择最佳植物组合类型.     

生物过滤和蔬菜浮床组合系统对温室甲鱼废水的处理效果

高浓度温室甲鱼养殖业废水的无序排放已严重危害了我国长三角地区农村生态环境.生物过滤和蔬菜浮床组合系统是温室甲鱼养殖废水生态化处理的潜在方式.为了探索生物过滤和蔬菜浮床组合系统处理温室甲鱼养殖废水的可行性,以及植物直接吸收同化作用对组合系统N、P去除的贡献率,本文选择空心菜、生菜和芹菜等3种蔬菜植物,开展了生物过滤和蔬菜浮床组合系统对温室甲鱼养殖废水的处理试验.结果表明:生物过滤与蔬菜浮床组合系统对废水化学需氧量(COD)、铵氮(NH4+-N)、总氮(TN)和总磷(TP)的去除率分别可达93.2%~95.6%、97.2%~99.6%、73.9%~93.1%和74.9%~90.0%.组合系统均表现出良好的碳氮磷同步脱除性能,空心菜系统对废水N、P的去除效能明显优于生菜和芹菜系统.蔬菜直接吸收作用并不是组合系统N、P去除的最主要途径,其贡献率仅为9.1%~25.0%,推测N、P主要依靠微生物作用去除.相对而言,空心菜对废水N、P的直接吸收贡献率最高,而蔬菜对N、P的直接吸收与植物生物量密切相关.研究结果显示,生物过滤和蔬菜浮床组合系统可以作为温室甲鱼养殖废水生态化处理的有效方式.     

不同水生动植物组合对富营养化水体的净化效应

随着城市经济的快速发展,湖泊、水库等水生生态系统的富营养化已成为世界普遍存在的环境问题之一。水体富营养化源于流入水体中的过量营养物质(如N、P等)。在温度和光照作用下,富营养化水体中的藻类大量繁殖,致使水质下降,水体功能退化,甚至失去资源和景观价

Managing water quality with aquatic macrophytes

The principal sources of water for human use are lakes, rivers, soil moisture and relatively shallow groundwater basins. Water quality in lakes and reservoirs is subjected to the natural degradation, processes of eutrophication and the impacts of human activities. Water quality problems can often be as severe as those of water availability but less attention has been paid to them, particularly in developing countries. Currently additional sustainable ways to mitigate the degradation of water quality are being researched all over the world. Phytoremediation is one of the serious efforts towards the sustainability. Most of the aquatic macrophytes are naturally occurring and well adapted for their surroundings. Aquatic macrophytes have the capability to remove excessive nutrient load from the water that otherwise cause eutrophication of the water body. Aquatic macrophytes absorb nutrient mineral ions from water column and influence metal retention indirectly by acting as traps for particulate matter, by slowing the water current and favoring sedimentation of suspended particles. Aquatic macrophytes also reduce sediment resuspension by offering wind protection. The use of aquatic macrophyte for treatment of wastewater to mitigate variety of pollution level is one of the most researched issues all over the world. Aquatic plant species are very specific for the uptake of nutrients. Owing to this specificity, the selection of the aquatic plant species is one of the skilled tasks prior to the design of a water treatment facility. An effort has been made in this review to cover the most researched aquatic flora for mitigation purposes and their possible use in a mesocosm as the selection of an appropriate aquatic plant specie reduce the time and cost of the treatment processes.

用镶嵌组合植物群落控制湖泊饮用水源区藻类及氮污染

依据湖泊中不同生态类型水生高等植物的微生境特点,设计建造了由漂浮、浮叶、沉水植物为优势种的斑块小群丛构成的镶嵌组合水生植物群落（ＭｏｓａｉｃＣｏｍｍｕｎｉｔｙｏｆＭａｃｒｏｐｈｙｔｅｓ：ＭＣＭ）,并在太湖五里湖一湖湾内以动态模拟试验,从群落水平研究了水生高等植物群落对富营养化湖泊饮用水源区湖水的净化能力。结果表明,富营养化湖水经ＭＣＭ净化后,藻类生物量（以Ｃｈｌａ计）下降５７７％,藻类数量下降２～３个数量级,氨氮下降６６７％,总氮下降６００％,水质得到明显改善。与以该湖湾湖水为水源的水厂出水相比,经ＭＣＭ净化的湖水其氨氮比水厂出水的氨氮平均低４５１％,总氮低３７３％,可见经ＭＣＭ净化的湖水部分指标优于同源的自来水。综合群落的微生境特征及水生高等植物群落内硝化反硝化细菌分布特点,探讨了ＭＣＭ的除氮机理。     

Flow-resistance adaptations of rigid-stemmed aquatic macrophytes in simulated water channels

This study investigated the development of interspecific adaptations of flow-resistance mechanisms to higher flow rates in rigid-stemmed Hygrophila salicifolia (Vahl) Nees (willow leaf Hygrophila sp.) plants placed in simulated water channels. The results indicate that adaptations to higher flow rates include a reduction in: growth rate, average fresh weight, average dry weight, and average diameter; but an increase in the number of parallel shoots. These effects combine to create a streamlined profile, reduce plant damage, and increase propagation through adventitious budding. Higher flow rates also reduced the ratio of average plant height to average root length in rigid-stemmed Hygrophila sp. The increased root length, strengthening of plant anchors, and reduction of uprooting seen at higher flow rates are likely to increase slope stability and reduce riverbank topsoil runoff. Moreover, rigid-stemmed aquatic macrophytes develop different adaptations than flexible-stemmed water plants (e.g., water celery); for these plants, higher flow velocities trigger an increase in the average density of vascular bundles and a reduction of the average root length, which results in uprooting and movement to different locations. These results suggest that different aquatic macrophytes play different roles in water channels. Our methods and findings can inform further investigations into the roles played by different aquatic macrophytes in ecological engineering and help to identify optimal planting materials or precursors for riverbanks.     

Effects of aquatic macrophytes on water quality and phytoplankton communities in shallow lakes

We investigated aquatic macrophytes, water quality, and phytoplankton biomass and species composition in three shallow lakes with different levels of vegetation cover and nutrient concentration in Kushiro Moor, during August 2000. Trapa japonica can live in a wide range of nutrient levels. This species forms an environment with a steeper extinction of light, higher concentrations of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), lower concentrations of dissolved oxygen (DO) near the bottom, and lower concentrations of nitrate+nitrite and soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) than other vegetation types. The pH was much higher in a Polygonum amphibium community, and the DO near the bottom did not decrease compared to a T.japonica community in the summer. The relationship between chlorophyll a and the limiting nutrient (total phosphorus (TP) when total nitrogen (TN):TPis 10 and TN/10 when TN:TP is <10) significantly differed between lakes with and without submerged vegetation. The chlorophyll a concentrations at a given nutrient level were significantly lower in water with submerged macrophytes than in water without them. Correspondence analysis showed that the difference in phytoplankton community structure across sites was largely due to the presence or absence of submerged macrophytes, and the ordination of phytoplankton species in the lakes with submerged macrophytes is best explained by environmental gradients of TN, chlorophyll, pH and SRP.     

Efficiency of nitrogen and phosphorus removal by six macrophytes from eutrophic water

Abstract

Increased nitrogen and phosphorus pollution causes eutrophication in water bodies. Using aquatic plants to remove nutrients from water is an attractive phytoremediation. It is a cost-effective, environment-friendly, and efficient way that reduces water body eutrophication by the plant. It is important to choose suitable macrophytes to remove excess N and P under different nutrient conditions. In this study, six macrophyte species (Polygonum orientale, Juncus effuses, Iris pseudocorus, Phragmites australis, Iris sanguinea, Typha orientalis) were tested. Simulation experiment was conducted under five N and P levels. The removal rate, relative growth rate, and the dynamic nutrition concentration of cultivated solution were investigated. Of all the treatment, a 23–95% reduction in N removal and a 29–92% reduction in P removal were recorded. The results showed I. sanguinea is a promising species to treat various eutrophic waters and the other five species can be used specifically to treat certain types of water. The data provided a theoretical guidance to plant species selection for phytoremediation of polluted water bodies for the purpose of water quality improvement around the different reservoir in northern China.     

A water level drawdown index for aquatic macrophytes in Nordic lakes

Many northern lakes are regulated to enhance hydropower production and flood protection. This bears hydromorphological pressures which are important factors causing lowered ecological status. Water level fluctuation triggers erosion on the shoreline and, depending on fluctuation range, also affects species composition or disappearance of sensitive aquatic macrophytes. We developed a water level-drawdown index (WI_c) for Nordic lakes using macrophyte data from 73 lakes with varying water level fluctuation in Finland, Norway and Sweden. The index is based on the ratio between sensitive and tolerant macrophyte species. The sensitive and tolerant species are identified based on a percentile approach, analysing the presence or absence of species along the winter drawdown range. The index correlates well with winter drawdown in Finnish and Norwegian lakes with strongest correlations with winter drawdown in storage lakes (lakes regulated for hydroelectric power and with a considerable winter drawdown). The WI_c-index is applicable in low alkalinity, oligotrophic and ice-covered lakes, and is suggested to be a useful tool to identify and designate heavily modified water bodies in Nordic lakes according to the European Water Framework Directive.     

Habitat preferences of four chironomid species associated with aquatic macrophytes in an irrigation reservoir

Habitat preferences of four chironomid species associated with aquatic macrophytes were studied during the vegetation season from April to October at an irrigation reservoir located in Nagoya, Japan.The two smaller sized species,Corynoneura cuspis Tokunaga andPentapedilum tigrinum Hashimoto, were found to be abundant in two floating-leaved plants,Nymphoides indica O. Kuntze andTrapa japonica Flerov. Phytophages,C. cuspis larvae were observed freely moving on the surfaces of leaves and stems within both of these floating-leaved plant communities. Although found within both plant communities,P. tigrinum larvae, as facultative leaf miners, were more concentrated on the surfaces and within the leaves ofN. indica, which have a thin epidermis and thick mesophyll layer.The two larger sized species,Glyptotendipes viridis (Macquart) andPentapedilum sordens (van der Wulp), were found to be living principally within the stems ofN. indica and the petioles ofT. japonica. These parts of the plants, with thin epidermis and many lacunae in the parenchyma, are favorable for miners.
