在不同蓄水位下三峡库区春季水华特征及趋势分析

基于2004—2015年三峡库区支流春季水华的监测数据,开展了三峡库区不同蓄水位下春季水华特征及趋势分析。结果表明:总共有26条支流发生春季水华,香溪河为水华发生概率最高的支流。水华藻类优势种主要是硅藻和甲藻,甲藻水华出现的概率随着蓄水位的增加而增加,但是在持续几年175 m蓄水之后,甲藻水华出现的频率下降,硅藻水华出现的频率增加。在175 m蓄水之前,水华发生期藻类密度、叶绿素a含量及水体营养盐水平相对较低,此后都有了较高的提升,但是在持续几年175 m蓄水之后,藻类密度、叶绿素a浓度以及营养盐浓度都有下降趋势。对藻密度及叶绿素a含量与主要环境因子进行主成分分析(Principal components analysis)发现,藻密度和叶绿素a与总磷、总氮、高锰酸盐指数聚类一簇,藻密度、叶绿素a浓度与总磷、溶解氧、高锰酸盐指数显著正相关。在蓄水之后,三峡库区支流营养水平有所增加,随着蓄水位的增加,三峡库区支流断面的平均流速降低,在合适的温度下,三峡库区支流水华易发生。     

三峡水库香溪河库湾夏季水华调查

以三峡水库支流香溪河为研究对象,以2011年夏季的采样数据为基础,比较分析了水华前后支流库湾营养盐和叶绿素a的时空分布规律及其相关性。结果表明,2011年6月21—29日,香溪河暴发了显著的藻类水华,叶绿素a峰值达到125.8 mg·m-3。相关分析表明,水华过程显著影响可溶性无机N、P的空间分布,营养盐空间分布从中游高、河口低,转变为从河口至上游递减,并且在水华区域锐减;长江干流较高的营养盐本底值增大了支流库湾水华的风险;高营养盐背景值的长江干流水体在香溪河库湾的潜出位置是水华最严重的区域;干流水体对库湾表层的营养盐补给作用是影响库湾水华生消的关键因素。     

三峡水库支流拟多甲藻水华的形成机制

三峡水库支流的拟多甲藻水华发生已成为近年的常态,但是其发生机制依然不清楚。2009年到2011年期间,对拟多甲藻水华频发的童庄河回水区进行重点监测,并扩展到三峡水库长江干流及26条支流未淹没区和回水区浮游植物的四季调查。结果表明,四季调查中,拟多甲藻出现率、平均密度、最大密度和最大优势度,4月最高,相同季节,回水区最高。2—4月,童庄河回水区各点拟多甲藻密度均为升高到下降变化,最高密度自上游至下游大幅下降。2010年,拟多甲藻水华于2月最先在童庄河回水区上游出现,逐步向中下游发展,维持一定规模和时间后消退。与此同时,长江干流拟多甲藻出现率、密度和最大优势度大幅低于童庄河回水区。童庄河回水区发生(2005年、2007年和2010年)比不发生(2009年)拟多甲藻水华年份,三峡水库1—3月日出库流量(平均值4489.9—5623.3 m3/s)较小、1—2月水位日变幅(平均值0.148 m、0.246 m)和2月水位日升降(平均值-0.223 m)较大。研究认为,藻类在适宜水温时形成水华,2—4月支流回水区水温适宜、氮磷含量满足甲藻营养能力和生活习性需要。拟多甲藻能否形成水华,首先取决于回水区上游是否存在满足要求的水动力条件。其次,三峡水库出库流量、水位波动等水文条件,通过改变回水区上游水动力条件和回水区流速,影响水华能否形成及形成时间、程度、范围和维持时间。由于尺度效应不同,三峡水库相同水文条件对不同位置支流拟多甲藻水华形成的影响不一样。     

香溪河库湾水体异养细菌及无机磷细菌分布特征

2003 年三峡水库蓄水后, 香溪河入库区段形成典型的水库型库湾, 磷污染严重, 导致水华频发。异养细菌是水体物质循环的重要参与者, 其中无机磷细菌释放结合态磷加重了水体富营养化。为了研究异养细菌和无机磷细菌对水体富营养化的影响, 在库湾设置7 个采样点, 2015 年 4 月、6 月、9 月和12 月分别采集水样, 测定样品总氮(TN)、总磷(TP)、磷酸盐(PO₄-P)及表层(水面下方0.5 m)水体叶绿素a(Chl.a)浓度, 实验室培养异养细菌及无机磷细菌。利用SPSS 17.0 对水体可培养异养细菌和无机磷细菌的时空变化进行单因素方差分析, 并用SPSS 软件分析细菌含量与总氮浓度、总磷浓度、磷酸盐浓度和叶绿素 a 浓度的相关性。结果显示: 异养细菌和无机磷细菌含量与叶绿素 a 浓度无显著相关性; 无机磷细菌与氮磷相关性均高于异养细菌, 说明香溪河库湾无机磷细菌与水体氮磷关联性大于异养细菌。     

三峡水库神农溪库湾水体季节性分层特性

三峡水库蓄水后,较大程度改变了支流库湾原有河流生态环境。本研究对神农溪库湾2016年水温、溶解氧、叶绿素等指标垂直分层结构和季节演替规律进行分析。结果表明:神农溪库湾表层水温全年变化在10.6～32.4℃,库湾水体水温层化结构受水动力条件影响较大;春季受干流表层倒灌异重流影响水温呈"阶梯"型分布,夏季受干流中层倒灌异重流影响水温呈"双混斜"型分布,秋冬季受底层倒灌异重流影响水温呈"半U"型分布;水温分层结构对溶解氧和叶绿素垂直剖面变化有一定的影响,春夏季节水体溶解氧出现显著的分层现象,春季溶解氧分布受叶绿素a影响显著,夏季受水温影响显著。本研究将为分析三峡水库支流神农溪库湾生境条件变化提供数据支撑,为库区水环境管理与水资源利用提供科学依据。     

三峡水库香溪河库湾拟多甲藻昼夜垂直分布初步研究

具鞭毛的拟多甲藻（Peridiniopsis）是三峡水库多数支流库湾春季甲藻水华的优势种类。研究表明,昼夜垂直迁移是鞭毛藻重要的生态学特征。拟多甲藻形态学特征虽然也有鞭毛和自由游泳能力,但至今仍没有关于该种类昼夜垂直迁移的描述。定点昼夜垂直分层研究结果表明,三峡水库甲藻水华暴发的优势种之一拟多甲藻种3（Peridiniopsis sp．3）是绝对优势种,相对丰度达到45％;该物种与其它鞭毛藻相似,有昼夜垂直迁移的生态学特征,白天趋于在水体上层聚集分布,晚上趋于在水柱中随机分布;太阳光的昼夜交替是影响拟多甲藻昼夜垂直迁移的重要环境因素。     

香溪河库湾春季叶绿素a 浓度动态及其影响因子分析

2005年3月至4月,对三峡水库香溪河库湾的叶绿素a动态及其与TN、TP等环境因子的关系进行了研究。结果表明,从香溪河库湾下游到上游,叶绿素a存在明显的水平分布。在时间分布上,3月17日暴发一次大规模的水华,4月份水华的暴发有一个明显的平面推移的过程。叶绿素a浓度与TN、TP之间存在着一定的负相关关系,TN与叶绿素a浓度的相关性较显著。香溪河库湾极可能是N限制型水体,而不受P限制。叶绿素a与透明度存在反双曲线关系,与溶解氧呈显著正相关关系。     

香溪河库湾春季水华期间水体光学特征及相关分析

研究了香溪河库湾春季水华期间(2006年3月3日—4月16日)透明度水层可见光衰减系数KSd的时空特征,分析其与表层水叶绿素a浓度、DOC浓度和透明度Sd的相关关系。结果表明:香溪河库湾春季水华可见光衰减系数KSd时空变异很大;除峡口河段(样点X7—X8)外,可见光衰减系数KSd的变化特征取决于叶绿素a浓度和DOC浓度的时空变化,类似于深水湖泊;除峡口河段(样点X7—X8)外,香溪河库湾可见光衰减系数KSd和透明度之间呈反比的关系具有显著的相关,但它们之间的反比关系因水体叶绿素a和无机悬浮颗粒的空间差异而有所不同。       

生态库湾

正三峡水库有上千个大小不一的库湾。由于地理条件特殊,库湾的水量交换小,形成了水体滞留区。而岸上营养盐的进入,再叠加上以前淹没区的大量营养盐的释放,就容易造成库湾水体的富营养化。库湾一度是三峡水库的水华高发区,它们也因此成为水库环境治理的重点和难点。为此,我们希望通过对水库污染严重的香溪河库湾治理,为其他地方的相关工作探路。     

三峡水库香溪河库湾夏季藻类水华的时空动态及其影响因素

2008年6-8月,三峡水库香溪河库湾相继暴发蓝藻和绿藻水华.依据香溪河库湾夏季的每周监测,对研究区2次水华分别进行聚类和判别分析,研究了2次水华的时空动态及其影响因素.结果表明：研究区2次水华过程均可划分为无水华组、过渡组和水华组;2次水华的暴发对可溶性硅(DSi)、硝态氮与亚硝态氮(NO₃--N+NO₂^--N)和磷酸盐(PO₄^3--P)3种营养盐的吸收程度不同;蓝藻水华暴发期间的DSi、总氮/总磷(TN/TP)、DSi/TN和DSi/TP值均低于绿藻水华;判别蓝藻水华暴发的参数为叶绿素a(Chl a)、TN和PO₄^3--P,而Chl a和DSi则是绿藻水华暴发的判别因子,将2次水华过程划分为水华组和无水华组的判别效果更好;判断蓝藻和绿藻水华暴发的叶绿素a临界浓度分别为40和20 μg·L^-1.     

Distribution of planktonic ciliates in highly coloured subtropical lakes: comparison with clearwater ciliate communities and the contribution of myxotrophic taxa to total autotrophic biomass

SUMMARY 1. The planktonic ciliate communities of eleven organically coloured north and central Florida lakes representing a variety of trophic conditions were examined during 1979–80. The total abundance and biomass of ciliates were not significantly different from comparable clearwater lakes and only minor taxonomic replacements were noted at the order level.
2. Timing of population peaks of oligotrophic lakes was dissimilar to clearwater lakes of the same trophic state, but seasonality in meso-trophic and eutrophic lakes resembled patterns described for comparable clearwater lakes.
3. Various ciliate components were strongly correlated with chlorophyll a concentrations, but only moderately correlated to dominant phytoplankton groups. No significant correlations were found between ciliate components and bacterial abundance.
4. Myxotrophic taxa numerically dominated oligotrophic systems, particularly during midsummer, and accounted for a large percentage of the total ciliate biomass. Estimates of the ciliate contribution to total autotrophic biomass indicate that these zoochlorellae-bearing protozoa may account for much of the autotrophic biomass during midsummer periods in coloured lakes, and thus may lead to an overestimation of phytoplankton standing crops available to zooplankton grazers if chlorophyll a is used as a surrogate measure of algal biomass.     

Predicting the spring algal biomass in Lough Neagh using time series analysis

1. Lough Neagh is a large eutrophic lake covering 387 km² with a mean depth of 8.9 m. It is an important natural resource, being the largest single source of potable water for Belfast, Northern Ireland. 2. This report examines the causes of the year-to-year variation in the April–June (spring) algal biomass, measured as chlorophyll a, for the period 1974–92. 3. The spring chlorophyll a declined following the introduction of a phosphorus (P) reduction programme at major sewage treatment works in 1981. However, since 1990 the chlorophyll a concentrations in the spring have increased. 4. Time series methodology was employed to develop a model which explained 76% of the annual variation in spring chlorophyll a concentrations. 5. The independent variables used in the multiple regression model were the previous year’s spring chlorophyll a concentration, soluble reactive P inputs for April–June and the particulate P concentration in the Lough during the previous summer.     

Lake trophic state and the limnological effects of omnivorous fish

Ecologists have hypothesized that planktivorous fish have greater effects on the plankton and water quality of oligotrophic lakes than eutrophic lakes. We tested this hypothesis in a tank-mesocosm experiment of factorial design in which five biomass levels of filter-feeding omnivorous gizzard shad (Dorosoma cepedianum) were cross-classified with two levels of lake trophic state achieved by filling tank-mesocosms with water and plankton transported by truck from two lakes with different trophic states. The presence of gizzard shad significantly increased total phosphorus, primary productivity, chlorophyll, and particulate phosphorus (PP) 2–20 and 20–200 μm and significantly decreased Secchi depth, cladocerans, copepods and PP > 200 μm. The effects of gizzard shad on chlorophyll, Secchi depth, cladocerans, copepods and PP 2–20 and > 200 μm were dependent on lake trophic state and most intense in the eutrophic lake system. This experiment suggests that filter-feeding omnivorous fish interact synergistically with trophic state so that the limnological effects of omnivorous fish become more intense with increased eutrophication.     

汤溪水库富营养化特征与水质管理对策

通过2003年对广东省汤溪水库水生态学进行调查,分析了该水库的富营养化特征,并从流域管理和水动力学两个方面对水库水质管理对策进行了探讨。汤溪水库为中度富营养化水体,具有明显时空分布差异,丰水期富营养程度高于枯水期,溪头河流区高于新桥河流区。蓝藻是水库浮游植物的主要优势类群,其中引发水华的铜绿微囊藻(Microcystis aeruginosa)为优势种。水库上游集水流域分布近30万居民,大量的生活排污和农业污染形成了主要的外源污染源,这些外源污染的输入是水库水体营养盐的主要来源;合理处理上游居民生活垃圾、减少生活污染中磷含量、增加流域和库区周围植被覆盖、合理使用农业化肥是降低水库表层水体中营养盐浓度的主要途径。由于该水库的蓝藻和富营养化水平直接与水体的稳定性有关,利用对水库排水的可控制性调节水库水体的稳定性,可作为控制蓝藻水华发生的有效途径。     

Uncoupling of chlorophyll and nutrients in lakes – possible reasons,expected consequences

Total phosphorus and total nitrogen explained a low percentage of summer chlorophyll variability in epilimnia of the Great Masurian Lakes. Division of the whole data set into two subgroups of lakes improved approximation of the chlorophyll nutrient relationship but revealed also functional differences between the lakes distinguished in that way. Chlorophyll in eutrophic lakes correlated well with nitrogen and phosphorus, that in mesotrophic lakes (those with summer chlorophyll <=22 mg m^–3 as calculated in the model) was related to none of the nutrients. Higher summer chlorophyll content in epilimnetic waters was accompanied by higher chl:PP and chl:PN ratios. Algal adaptation to poor light conditions in eutrophic lakes is postulated as a possible reason for that difference.Chlorophyll – nutrient relationships varied with the trophic status of lakes. Epilimnetic chlorophyll strictly followed phosphorus changes in eutrophic lakes but did not do so in mesotrophic ones. Detailed comparison of selected meso- and eutrophic lakes showed marked differences in the seasonal changes of chlorophyll and nutrient concentrations and in sedimentation rates, especially in spring. Nutrient limitation rather than zooplankton grazing is suggested as a possible mechanism of controlling algal abundance and the sequence of spring events in a eutrophic lake. It is hypothesised that phosphorus turnover in eutrophic lakes is dominated by seasonal vertical fluxes, while in mesotrophic lakes it is more conservative with consumption and regeneration restricted mostly to metalimnion. Possible consequences of such conclusion are discussed in the paper.     

Responses of spring phytoplankton communities to their habitats in the Xiangxi Bay of Three Gorges Reservoir,China

Since the water storage was initiated in 2003, the environment of Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) has changed significantly. Algal blooms and eutrophication have been a frequent occurrence, with serious eutrophication in the tributary bays. To provide some theoretical evidence for the prevention and control of algal blooms, the goal of this study is to elucidate factors that influence algal blooms at different sections of the Xiangxi Bay (XXB). Using field data from the XXB, the responses of phytoplankton communities to their habitats were investigated from March to May, 2010. The results indicated a significant spatial and temporal heterogeneity in phytoplankton composition, cellular abundance, and habitats in the spring. Fifty-four genera representing 6 phyla were monitored. Redundancy analysis indicated that the variation in water temperature and relative water column stability (RWCS) contributed greatly to the succession of spring phytoplankton. Due to different physiological adaptabilities and mechanisms of competition among the algae species, significant succession of the community structure had been observed. The predominant species appears to have changed from those adapted to low temperatures and strong mixing (dinoflagellates and diatoms) to those adapted to high temperatures and weak mixing (green algae and cyanobacteria). The lack of silicate resulted in the succession from diatoms to green algae. Due to the influence of the Yangtze River, there is a low potential for algal blooms at lower reaches of the bay because of frequent water exchange. In contrast, the potential is high at middle and upper reaches where the water temperature increases gradually. The hierarchical status of the two sections is significantly different. Precipitation would inhibit algal blooms somewhat, and heavy rainfall would eliminate algal blooms throughout the bay. Phytoplankton are sensitive to their changing habitat in XXB. For a bloom to occur, sufficient nutrients, a lower flow velocity, and appropriate temperature and light conditions are necessary. As an artificial regulating reservoir, proper ecological regulation could not only significantly affect the dynamic conditions of the water body tributaries, but it could also change the transfer characteristics of light and heat, abolishing the algae habitats and thereby inhibiting the water bloom.     

Phytoplankton composition and pigment concentrations as indicators of water quality in the Rybinsk reservoir

Long-term changes in phytoplankton (1954–1981) and chlorophyll (1969–1984) and their spatial distribution in summer 1989 were studied in the Rybinsk reservoir (second largest reservoir of the Volga River, North-West Russia). Estimation of trophic status and saprobity of the reservoir was based on phytoplankton biomass and species composition and chlorophyll content. The most eutrophic waters were found to occupy the peripheral areas in littoral zone and river inflows of the reservoir, while the waters in the central part of the basin were less eutrophic. Long-term changes of the phytoplankton biomass, chlorophyll, chlorophyll/biomass-ratio and saprobity index observed in the central part of the reservoir were analyzed by statistical methods. An increase in saprobity and an inverse relationship between chlorophyll/biomass-ratio and water transparency demonstrate progressive eutrophication in the central part of the reservoir. Two distinct periods (1954–1970 and 1971–1984) could be discerned on the basis of annual mean phytoplankton biomass values. For the earlier period a relationship between biomass and climatic factors (solar radiation and wind velocity) could be established, but no such correlation could be found for the latter period. There was no significant increase in the phytoplankton biomass during the monitoring period, but a definite increase in the proportion of small-sized species of centric diatoms, cryptomonads and blue-greens. These forms are considered as r-strategists in the community, and their increase is interpreted as a sign of eutrophication.     

淀山湖富营养化过程的统计学特征

湖泊营养物输入及响应指标的统计学规律正在受到越来越广泛的关注。对淀山湖在不同富营养化阶段和近期总磷TP、总氮TN和叶绿素Chl a的频率分布以及TP-Chl a关系的经验方程进行了分析,结果表明:(1)淀山湖TP、TN和Chl a的平均浓度和离散程度随着湖泊富营养化程度的加剧而增加,其中以Chl a的增幅最大;(2)在富营养化条件下,即使营养物TP得到一定程度的控制,Chl a大于15μg/L的概率继续增加了20%以上。仅仅削减营养物的峰值,对降低湖泊初级生产力水平的贡献有限;(3)TP-Chl a对数回归方程的斜率随湖泊富营养化程度的升高而增加,由20世纪80年代的0.54增加到目前的2.46。淀山湖营养物输入及响应指标的统计学特征,可以用来表征水体富营养化程度,评价湖泊生态恢复的进程和效果,为湖泊营养物基准和标准的制定提供最为实际的统计学支持。     

基于云模型的鄱阳湖秋季周边湿地水体富营养化评价

针对水体富营养化评价过程中存在随机性和模糊性的特点,基于鄱阳湖周边湿地30个采样点的实测水质数据,选取叶绿素a（Chl-a）、总磷（TP）、总氮（TN）、高锰酸盐指数（COD_Mn）及透明度（SD）为水质评价因子,生成云模型对鄱阳湖周边湿地水体进行富营养化评价,并与综合营养状态指数评价结果进行比较。结果表明：两种方法的评价结果存在一定差异,但都反映了鄱阳湖周边湿地水体总体上处于轻度富营养化状态。该方法能为鄱阳湖湿地水体富营养化评价提供重要的方法和手段。
