九龙江河口区养虾塘沉积物-水界面营养盐交换通量特征

通过对九龙江河口区陆基养虾塘水样和沉积物样品采集分析及结合室内模拟实验,探讨了虾塘在不同养殖阶段沉积物-水界面营养盐通量时间变化特征及其主要影响因素。虾塘沉积物向上覆水体释放NO_x~--N(NO_2~--N和NO_3~--N)、NH_4~+-N和PO_4~(3-)-P能力均呈现随养殖时间推移而降低的特征。沉积物在养殖中期和后期分别呈现对上覆水体NO_x~--N和PO_4~(3-)-P的吸收现象,但总体表现为释放(平均通量分别为(1.87±1.15)、(1.58±0.52)mg m~(-2)h~(-1)和(1.22±0.62)mg m~(-2)h~(-1))。沉积物-水界面溶解无机氮交换以NH_4~+-N为主(沉积物平均释放通量为(46.18±13.82)mg m~(-2)h~(-1))。沉积物间隙水与上覆水间的营养盐浓度差(梯度)及温度对上述交换通量的时间动态特征具有重要调控作用。研究结果表明养殖初期或中期沉积物较高的无机氮(尤其是NO_2~--N和NH_4~+-N)释放是养殖塘水质恶化的一个极具潜力的污染内源,可能会对虾的健康生长产生负面效应,控制沉积物无机氮释放是养虾塘养殖初期和中期重要的日常管理活动之一。     

太湖春季沉积物间隙水中磷的分布特征及界面释放的影响

通过对太湖春季不同湖区水体和沉积物间隙水中磷的分布特征研究,探讨了间隙水中磷的释放对上覆水环境的影响。结果表明,颗粒态磷(PP)和溶解态有机磷(DOP)是太湖水体中主要的磷形态,占总磷的58%～95%。不同湖区沉积物间隙水磷的剖面变化可能与生态特征及水动力引起的沉积物-水界面的扰动强度密切相关。湖心和西部沿岸沉积物扰动强烈,致使间隙水中磷含量向上逐渐降底,而梅梁湾和贡湖间隙水磷的垂向变化不大。东太湖和竺山湖沉积物界面间隙水中磷含量偏高,可能是由于表层沉积物的有氧环境使Fe2+被氧化固定下来,并促进了总磷(TP)和溶解态活性磷(DRP)的扩散释放。总体而言,间隙水中各形态磷具有向上覆水体释放的趋势,其中DRP的扩散潜力最大,竺山湖沉积物-水界面DRP扩散通量高达11.42mg.m-2.d-1,表明春季浮游植物的复苏生长对DRP的迫切需求。     

亚热带河口陆基养虾塘水体溶解性碳浓度及沉积物-水界面碳通量时空动态特征

以福建闽江和九龙江河口陆基养虾塘为研究对象,通过野外原位观测和室内模拟培养实验,开展了河口陆基养虾塘养殖期间水体溶解性有机碳(DOC)和溶解性无机碳(DIC)及养虾塘沉积物-水界面碳交换通量变化特征的研究。结果表明:时间变化上,养虾塘水体溶解性碳浓度及沉积物-水界面碳通量在闽江河口呈现8月中旬10月中旬6月中旬的特征,在九龙江河口表现为随养殖阶段推移而增加的趋势;空间变化上,闽江河口养虾塘水体溶解性碳浓度及沉积物-水界面碳通量显著高于九龙江河口;沉积物释放溶解性碳速率与水体溶解性碳浓度呈现显著正相关关系,沉积物碳释放过程是引起养虾塘水体溶解性碳浓度时空变化的重要因素。表明河口区水产养虾塘碳循环研究时需考虑不同形态碳生物地球化学循环的时空差异性。     

池塘水华与底层磷营养状态的关系

比较了武汉东郊相邻池塘间隙水、上覆水与沉积物中磷形态、水相中与不同大小颗粒相联系的碱性磷酸酶活性 (APA)、溶解态与沉积物APA动力学参数及沉积物有机质的含量。铜绿微囊藻 (Microcystisaeruginosa)出现或繁盛的池塘上覆水中正磷酸盐 (O—P)或间隙水中不同形态磷的浓度较高 ,而底层水相不同形态磷浓度较低的池塘叶绿素的浓度亦低 ,且未见铜绿微囊藻 ,故水华与底层磷营养之间联系紧密。各塘沉积物磷主要以铁结合态形式存在 ,铜绿微囊藻繁盛的池塘沉积物中铁结合态磷含量较低 ,而有机质含量较高 ,底层APA亦表现出较高的底物亲和能力 (较小的Km 值 )和反应速度 (较大的Vmax值 ) ,上述结果说明 ,有机质可能在上覆水、间隙水与沉积物诱导具不同动力学特征的高APA ,同时引发厌氧状态 ,这双重因素均有利于O—P的迅速释放 ,从而促进水华的形成     

密云水库沉积物磷形态分布特征

沉积物中磷的形态是影响沉积物-水界面磷交换过程重要的因素。本文采用连续提取法对密云水库白河库区沉积物基本特性和磷形态特征进行了分析。结果表明:密云水库白河库区总磷含量为505.11~829.56 mg·kg~(-1),各形态磷含量从高到低排序为HCl-PBD-PNaOH-PNH_4Cl-P;HCl-P和BD-P是密云水库沉积物磷的主要形态,两者在沉积物磷中所占比例为53%~80%;在空间分布上,总体表现为深水区及白河与潮河之间的过渡区域总磷含量较高,可能与该区域沉积物粒径较小有关;根据上覆水与间隙水之间的总磷浓度梯度,可判断出,入库(套里)及过渡区(库北)沉积物表现为源,释放总磷到水体中,而其他地方则表现为汇,这是由沉积物磷形态组成和上覆水溶解氧和温度共同作用的结果;2013年沉积物各形态磷形态含量比2002年均有所下降,表明密云水库上游综合整治措施初显成效。     

山东省南四湖夏冬季沉积物及间隙水中磷分布特征及其相关性

利用柱状沉积物采样器和Peeper间隙水采集器,分别于夏冬两季获取山东省南四湖不同湖区原位柱状沉积物和间隙水,分析沉积物磷形态和间隙水磷分布特征,探讨沉积物和间隙水磷之间的相关性.结果表明:南四湖沉积物含有较丰富的磷,空间差异性显著,总体呈北高南低的趋势.这与南四湖北部距离济宁市区较近、受污染较重有关.各磷形态组分中以无机磷(IP)含量最高,夏冬两季IP含量分别占总磷(TP)的52.3％～87.2％和60.6％～88.3％.4个湖区表层沉积物TP含量(5 cm内)均呈现夏季＞冬季的特征,可能与夏季水产品养殖旺盛、湖区周围耕地大量施用化肥,以及旅游活动频繁等有关.间隙水磷(PO43--P)浓度夏冬两季在垂直方向上均呈先增加后降低的趋势,夏季含量明显高于冬季,说明沉积物中的磷在夏季具有更大的向上覆水释放的潜力.夏季沉积物有机磷(OP)和IP相关性显著,冬季相关性不显著,说明夏季IP与OP间的形态转化较冬季活跃.沉积物铁铝结合态磷(Fe/A1-P)和IP与间隙水磷含量具有显著正相关关系.夏冬两季Peeper法获取间隙水磷的平均含量比传统离心法高出20％ ～50％,前者可能更精确.     

阿哈水库沉积物-水界面重金属扩散通量

为了解阿哈水库水体中重金属的污染现状,选取了4个典型点位进行夏、冬两季采样分析,研究了上覆水体及沉积物孔隙水中Co、Ni、Cu、Zn、As、Cr及Pb 7种重金属的时空分布规律及其界面扩散通量。结果表明:阿哈水库上覆水体中溶解性重金属的均值含量符合我国《地表水环境质量标准》(GB 3838—2002)Ⅰ类标准与《生活饮用水卫生标准》(GB 5749—2006),未受到重金属污染。夏季分层期,底层水缺氧导致水体As、Co、Cr含量增高,而冬季混合期重金属的垂向变化较小。沉积物孔隙水中重金属浓度均值高于上覆水,且Co与Ni、As呈显著正相关,其在水库中的迁移转化过程受铁锰循环的共同影响; Cu、Zn与Pb存在正相关关系,具有相似的污染来源。分析沉积物-水界面重金属扩散通量显示,Zn保持负扩散,表明沉积物对Zn具有很好的净化吸附效果;而Co、Ni、As、Pb保持正扩散,特别是夏季As的扩散通量达2.07μg·cm~(-2)·a~(-1),对上覆水体可能产生较大的释放风险。研究证实,近十年来阿哈水库水体重金属的污染控制取得了显著的效果。     

纳米银在水-沉积物中的迁移机制研究

为研究纳米银(Ag NPs)在水体中的迁移、水-沉积物中的分配及转化机制,采用武汉东湖湖水及沉积物开展模拟实验,以硝酸银(Ag NO3)为参照,研究了Ag NPs和聚乙烯吡咯烷酮包裹纳米银[Poly(vinylpyrrolidone)-coated silver nanoparticles(PVP-Ag NPs)]在上覆水中的沉降、在沉积物中的迁移和形态分布、以及扰动释放过程。结果表明,上覆水银初始浓度均为75 mg/L的Ag NO3、Ag NPs及PVP-Ag NPs在120h后分别为0.086、0.957和2.770 mg/L,显示纳米银和硝酸银进入水体后120h内大部分沉入沉积物中,且经过包裹的纳米银比未包裹的纳米银在水中停留时间稍长;60d后三种银均主要分布在表层沉积物中,Ag NO3体系银含量随深度的增加而逐渐降低,Ag NPs和PVP-Ag NPs体系银在2 cm以上随深度的增加而增高,随后逐渐降低,表明纳米银比硝酸银具有更强的迁移能力。此外,PVP-Ag NPs在2—3 cm层中的银含量占总量的24.6%,而Ag NPs在同一层中含量仅为2.6%,说明前者的迁移能力更强。在沉积物中,硫化物和有机物是银的主要结合相。释放实验结果表明,沉积物中纳米银的释放量远小于硝酸银的释放量,表明纳米银一旦与沉积物结合就难以再次释放。以上实验结果为评价纳米银的生态安全提供了科学依据。     

铜锈环棱螺对藻华水体沉积物-水界面营养盐通量的影响

于2008年在室内小型试验模拟生态系统中进行了为期1个月的铜锈环棱螺生物干扰对底泥耗氧率和上覆水营养盐通量的影响试验,根据铜锈环棱螺放养密度设置了3个处理组和1个对照组。与试验前相比,培养1个月后,所有处理组和对照组的底泥耗氧率均显著下降;各处理组的底泥耗氧率初期高于对照组,后期低于对照组,且密度高的处理组其底泥耗氧率高于密度低的处理组。除12月7日外,对照组沉积物始终向上覆水释放铵氮,且释放量逐渐减小,而各处理组中,除试验初期沉积物向上覆水释放铵氮外,试验中后期均表现为吸收铵氮。除试验初期外,处理组和对照组中亚硝酸盐+硝酸盐通量主要表现为向上覆水中释放,且处理组1与对照组间存在显著差异(P<0.05)。磷酸盐通量主要表现为,试验初期沉积物向上覆水中释放,后期被沉积物吸收。本试验结果表明,短期内铜锈环棱螺的生物干扰增加了底泥耗氧率,但其长期效应可使底泥耗氧率下降,铜锈环棱螺的存在促进了沉积物中的总体硝化速率,加快了沉积物中的N循环。     

两种沉水植物对间隙水磷浓度的影响

为研究两种根系特征的沉水植物在生长过程中对间隙水中磷浓度的影响,选取根系较多的沉水植物苦草和根系相对较少的沉水植物黑藻作为实验材料,监测底泥中间隙水各形态磷含量及环境因子的变化,探讨不同根系特征沉水植物对间隙水中磷的影响。结果表明:黑藻和苦草实验组沉积物间隙水中各形态磷的浓度均呈不同程度的降低,黑藻和苦草对于稳定水质,减少底泥中磷向水中转移具有明显的效果;沉水植物不同,底泥间隙水中溶解性总磷(DTP)和溶解性活性磷(SRP)存在明显差异。实验结束时黑藻组和苦草组间隙水中DTP的浓度分别为0.24,0.01 mg/L,SRP的浓度分别为0.22 mg/L,0.004 mg/L。间隙水中磷的形态主要以DTP和SRP为主,溶解性有机磷(DOP)的含量相对较低。沉水植物对间隙水中磷的吸收是降低间隙水中磷含量的重要原因,苦草的吸收能力大于黑藻。沉水植物根系通过降低底泥p H值,提高氧化还原电位(Eh)的方式抑制了底泥中磷的释放。     

Spatial variation of phosphorus fractions in bottom sediments and the potential contributions to eutrophication in shallow lakes

Spatial variation of phosphorus fractions in bottom sediment, pore water and overlying water in three shallow eutrophic lakes, Nishiura, Kitaura and Sotonasakaura, Japan, and the contributions of the fractional P to mobilization of phosphorus from sediment were examined in this study. The vertical distributions of dissolved inorganic phosphorus (DIP) concentrations in overlying and pore water differed with lake and sampling site. In particular, DIP was high in pore water in the surface layer of the sediment for the middle to downlake areas of Lake Kitaura. DIP release flux calculated from a gradient of the concentrations at the sediment–water interface was high compared with other sites. The distribution of fractional P content in sediments was highly variable. The citrate–dithionite–bicarbonate–non-reactive phosphorus (CDB–NRP) fraction, in particular, differed greatly among the three lakes. According to correlation in the ratios between CDB–NRP and loss on ignition, sediments of these lakes were classified in three clusters. The CDB–NRP fraction was suggested to play a role in DIP release from sediment. The possibility of nitrate concentration playing a role in the control of DIP release was considered.     

Release of sediment-phosphorus and the influence of algal growth on this process

Summary Phosphorus release from undisturbed sediment cores was studied in a continuous flow system. Various lakes and polder ditches were compared with each other. Peaty lakes exchanged their particulate phosphorus rapidly with the overlying water as compared with other sediment types. This makes them suitable for phosphorus load reduction measures. There was found to be no simple direct relation between chemically extracted phosphorus fractions and the phosphorus released during the experiment. Algal growth in the overlying water stimulated the release of phosphorus.     

Regeneration of inorganic phosphorus and nitrogen from decomposition of seston in a freshwater sediment

The mineralization of phosphorus and nitrogen from seston was studied in consolidated sediment from the shallow Lake Arreskov (July and November) and in suspensions without sediment (July). In the suspension experiment, phosphorus and nitrogen were mineralized in the same proportions as they occurred in the seston. During the 30 days suspension experiment, 47 and 43% of the particulate phosphorus and nitrogen, respectively, was mineralized with constant rates.Addition of seston to the sediment had an immediate enhancing effect on oxygen uptake, phosphate and ammonia release, whereas nitrate release decreased due to denitrification. The enhanced rates lasted for 2–5 weeks, while the decrease in nitrate release persisted throughout the experiment. The increase in oxygen uptake (equivalent to 21% of the seston carbon) was, however, only observed in the July experiment. The release of phosphorus and nitrogen from seston decomposing on the sediment surface differed from the suspension experiments. Thus, between 91 and 111% of the phosphorus in the seston was released during the experiments. Due to opposite directed effects on ammonium and nitrate release, the resulting net release of nitrogen was relatively low.A comparison of C/N/P ratios in seston, sediment and flux rates indicated that nitrogen was mineralized faster than phosphorus and carbon. Some of this nitrogen was lost through denitrification and therefore not measurable in the flux of inorganic nitrogen ions. This investigation also suggests that decomposition of newly settled organic matter in sediments have indirect effects on sediment-water exchanges (e.g. by changing of redox potentials and stimulation of denitrification) that modifies the release of mineralized phosphate and nitrogen from the sediment.     

Occurrence of phosphorus and its potential remohilization in the littoral sediments of a productive English lake

SUMMARY. 1. Vertical profiles of pH were measured at nine shallow water (<5m) locations in Esthwaite Water. These indicate strong gradients of pH near the sediment water interface suggesting a marked buffering capacity of the sediments.
2. Thirteen littoral sediment cores were horizontally sectioned and sequentially extracted (0.5 M NaHCO₃, 0.1 M NaOH, 1 M HCI) and analysed for soluble reactive phosphorus. The core sections were also analysed for total phosphorus and per cent organic content to determine the vertical and areal variability of phosphorus within the littoral sediments of Esthwaite Water.
3. The rate of release of phosphorus from intact sediment cores was measured in the laboratory as a function of the pH of overlying water, yielding the relationship log K=0.54 pH−3.94, K=mg Pm⁻²day⁻¹. The maximum release rate measured was 75 mg P m⁻² day⁻² at pH = 10.5.
4. Experiments on sediment slurries indicate that the release of phosphorus at pH 10 is rapid with approximately 50% of the total NaHCO₃+ NaOH extractable phosphorus being released within 3 h.
5. Phosphorus release from the littoral sediments may equal or exceed external sources plus hypolimnetic inputs during periods of high pH associated with times of maximum algal biomass.     

Re-flooding a Historically Drained Wetland Leads to Rapid Sediment Phosphorus Release

Wetland restoration provides many benefits, but re-flooding historically drained land can have unintended negative consequences, including phosphorus (P) release from sediments. To investigate the effects of re-flooding on P cycling, this study monitored a restoration in Michigan that back-flooded old drainage ditches and re-flooded former wetland soils. Immediately after re-flooding, previously exposed sediments released substantial amounts of P to the water column. Soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) concentrations in re-flooded areas were as high as 750 μg P l^?1. At peak P concentrations, there were about 20 times more SRP and 14 times more total P in the surface water than in the much smaller flooded area that existed before re-flooding. Prolific growth of filamentous algae and duckweed was observed in subsequent summers. Sedimental analyses suggest that most of the P released originated from iron-bound fractions. The highest SRP concentrations occurred during the first year when surface water dissolved oxygen was low (<5.5 mg l^?1). Similarly low oxygen in the second year after flooding was not associated with such high P concentrations. After 1 year postflooding, SRP concentrations remained below 50 μg P l^?1 (but still high enough to produce eutrophic conditions) until the end of sampling about 15 months after re-flooding. When re-flooding historically drained soils, managers should consider the potential for sediment P release to jeopardize restoration goals and therefore should incorporate longer term monitoring of water quality into restoration plans. Knowledge of sediment P amounts and forms can indicate the potential for P release to overlying water.     

Phosphorus budgetary analysis of sediment–water interface in a short-term anoxic condition in shallow Lake Kasumigaura,Japan

To investigate the effective depth from the surface sediment, and phosphorus fractions related to phosphorus release under short-term anoxic conditions, varying lengths of sediment cores taken from Lake Kasumigaura, a large shallow polymictic lake in Japan, were incubated for a few weeks and then analyzed. Results showed few differences in total phosphorus (TP) amount per unit area in overlying waters irrespective of the core thickness, and sums of TP in both overlying water and 0- to 2-cm sediment layers were nearly equal before and after the experiment, indicating that phosphorus was released mainly from the 0- to 2-cm layer by dissolution. In contrast, phosphorus was decreased in pore water below a 2-cm depth, probably through sorption to sediment solids. The citrate-dithionite-bicarbonate total phosphorus (CBD-TP) and non-reactive phosphorus extracted by NaOH (NaOH-NRP) in sediment solids in the 0- to 2-cm layer decreased during the experiment. The decreases of CBD-TP were 10 times higher than those of NaOH-NRP, suggesting that the released phosphorus came mainly from the fraction bound to iron in Lake Kasumigaura.     

Effects of a modified zeolite on P and N processes and fluxes across the lake sediment–water interface using core incubations

A new locally produced P-inactivation agent, Z2G1, was tested on sediment cores from Lake Okaro, New Zealand, for phosphorus (P) removal efficacy and any non-target side effects prior to a whole lake trial to manage internal P loading. Z2G1 is a granular product which settles rapidly, and was designed as a sediment capping material. It is a modified zeolite which acts as a carrier for the aluminium (Al)-based P-binding agent. It was found to have a high affinity for P and did not release Al into the water column. Continuous-flow incubation study results showed that a thin layer of Z2G1 (~2 mm) could completely block the release of P from the sediment under aerobic and anoxic conditions, and remove P from the overlying water in contact with the capping layer. The Z2G1 capping layer neither released metals itself nor did it induce the release of metals from the sediments, and the zeolite substrate absorbed arsenic and mercury from the geothermally influenced Lake Okaro sediments. In general, zeolites are strong cation absorbers and the zeolite substrate of Z2G1 absorbed ammoniacal nitrogen, making it the only sediment capping material to actively remove both P and N. There were, however, indications of a suppression effect on microbial denitrification by the Z2G1 capping layer under aerobic conditions. Overall, the Z2G1 sediment capping material is a highly effective P-inactivation agent which might be a useful material for managing internal P loads in eutrophic lakes.     

Phosphorus release and sedimentation in three contiguous shallow brackish lakes, as estimated from changes in phosphorus stock and loading from catchment

In situ phosphorus release rates in three contiguous shallow brackish lakes were calculated by considering the amount of water inflow, changes in salinity and phosphorus stock, and loading from phosphorus inflow based on monthly data. The annual amount of sedimental phosphorus relative to that of phosphorus inflow was different for each of the three water bodies: 16% for Lake Shinji, 3% for the Honjo area, and −8% for Lake Nakaumi, as estimated in a 10-year period from January 1993 to December 2002. During the warm season, the quantity of phosphorus released surpassed sedimentation in these three water bodies. The low annual sedimentation ratio in Lake Nakaumi is related to a large seawater backflow resulting in phosphorus removal, in addition to a stable stratified structure promoting phosphorus release from sediment due to oxygen depletion in the lower layer. In Lake Nakaumi, field data shows that if dissolved oxygen at the sediment surface falls below 2.54 mg L⁻¹, phosphorus release from the sediment begins to be accelerated.     

初春马来眼子菜分解对水体和底泥碳、氮和磷积累及释放的影响

通过实验室模拟初春温度(17℃)条件,研究了沉水植物马来眼子菜(Potamogeton malaianus Miq.)分解过程对其有机碳、总氮和总磷的释放,水体和底泥中有机碳、总氮和总磷含量以及水体中铵态氮和硝态氮含量的影响,同时对水体N2和N2O的释放状况进行了分析。结果表明:在70 d的实验周期内,马来眼子菜分解迅速,至实验结束时植株失重率达到86.92%,植株中有机碳量、总氮量和总磷量分别较实验初始时降低了88.51%、88.93%和86.63%;底泥中有机碳、总氮和总磷含量分别较实验初始时增加了5.56%、17.06%和2.17%。在马来眼子菜分解过程中,水体中的溶解氧含量和氧化还原电位均较对照明显降低,并呈现在实验初期迅速下降然后逐渐增加并趋于稳定的趋势;水体中的有机碳、总氮、总磷以及铵态氮含量均较对照大幅度增加,并呈现在实验初期迅速上升然后逐渐下降并趋于稳定的趋势;而水体中的硝态氮含量则呈先下降后上升再下降的趋势。水体中N2和N2O释放通量较对照明显增加,且在实验中期N2和N2O释放通量达到峰值。研究结果表明:随时间推移,马来眼子菜向水体释放的磷大部分沉积到底泥中,而氮则部分沉积到底泥中、部分以气体形式(N2和N2O)逸出水体。     

Mineralization, pore water chemistry and phosphorus release from peaty sediments in the eutrophic Loosdrecht lakes, The Netherlands

SUMMARY. 1. Pore water chemistry in peaty sediment was monitored for a year at two representative locations of the eutrophic shallow Loosdrecht lakes. The Netherlands. Phosphorus fluxes over the sediment-water interface were calculated using measured concentration gradients in the pore water and compared to fluxes measured under laboratory conditions. Results were analysed with Redundancy Analysis to detect patterns of variation in pore water chemistry and in measured and calculated fluxes, that could be ascribed to environmental variables.
2. It was demonstrated that phosphorus fluxes measured in long-term laboratory incubations were not correlated to any of the pore water characteristics.
3. Initial phosphorus fluxes measured in sediment columns, which varied between −7.7 and 1330 μmol m⁻²: day⁻¹, were correlated significantly to the calculated phosphorus flux over the sediment-water interface.
4. The high correlation between calculated fluxes of ammonia, phosphorus and methane and measured initial flux of phosphorus, conclusively pointed to mineralization of organic matter as the driving force for phosphorus release from the sediment.
5. Redundancy Analysis demonstrated that the rates of mineralization and phosphorus release were only weakly related to temperature. They appeared to be especially stimulated by the autumnal decrease in temperature which was probably related to an extra input of organic matter.
