长江中下游浅水湖泊水生植被生态修复种的筛选与应用研究

湖泊富营养化是全球性的生态学问题。长江中下游浅水湖泊群作为我国八大湖泊群之一,近30年来水体富营养化以及生态系统功能退化极为严重,亟待系统性修复。水生植物生态修复技术则是面向富营养化浅水湖泊生态治理的重要技术。然而,选择合适的水生植物恢复种来保证恢复效果以及长期的生态安全与稳定性仍是目前恢复工程中的重要且薄弱环节。结合长江中下游湖泊中水生植物的生长、分布、繁殖、来源及污染耐受性等提出了以乡土物种操控为理念适合该区域湖泊的生态恢复先锋物种建议名录,并依据所筛选的物种特性和淡水生态学相关理论,提出不同的优化组合方案来指导长江中下游不同类型湖泊的水生植物生态恢复。     

滇西北高原入湖河口退化湿地生态修复效益分析

选取滇西北高原典型退化湿地剑湖,对入湖河流永丰河入湖河口退化湿地进行的生态修复措施及其效益进行研究,评估其恢复效果,为高原退化湿地的修复和污染湖泊的治理提供依据。研究地修复2a后,入湖河口湿地景观格局得到较大改善,空间结构得到优化配置;水质状况明显改善,水体透明度提高101%,水体中总氮(TN)、氨氮(NH+4-N)、硝氮(NO-3-N)、总磷(TP)、化学需氧量(COD)的含量较恢复前明显下降,去除率分别达到62.5%、89.3%、62.5%、91.7%、68.0%,这一水质降解结果表明:基底修复促进了入湖河口水文状况的改善,而依据植物对不同浓度污水的适应状况进行多生活型、多种类的植物配置,并适当增加沉水植物比例,有效发挥了植物的净化作用,但不同湿地植物群落之间净化效果存在差异,显示了植物对氮磷的喜好程度和植物间的互作关系,而相同植物群落在不同浓度污水条件下的表现同样存在差异。因此,污染水体的治理必须选择性利用适合不同污水浓度的水生植物进行合理的群落配置,同时,根据水质变化及时对植物进行适应性调整,有利于植物的生长和湿地生态系统的稳定,以及湿地生态系统结构和功能的恢复。该退化湿地修复后,每年可产生以净化功能效益为主的生态系统服务功能价值185万元,以水源涵养和生物多样性保育、生态旅游等的生态系统服务功能价值32.7万元,以及以生态农业系统为主的市场价值270万元,呈现了较好的经济、社会效益和生态效益价值。     

附着生物在浅水富营养化湖泊藻-草型生态系统转化过程中的作用

不同营养盐水平下附着生物对水生植物影响的实验结果表明, 随营养盐浓度的升高, 附着生物的生物量随之增加, 且对水生植物光合作用的抑制作用也相应增强. 结合其他研究的风浪、光照、营养盐形态和鱼的牧食对水生植物的影响, 得出在浅水富营养化湖泊中, 草型生态系统与藻型生态系统互相转化的先决条件是营养盐水平, 当其浓度发生变化时, 对生态系统造成胁迫, 导致生态系统不稳定, 此时, 外部的任何一点扰动(如风浪、高水位、鱼等)就有可能使得原来的生态系统发生崩溃, 新的与环境相协调的生态系统得以建立. 从理论上解释了湖泊生态系统在草型和藻型之间转化的机理, 为湖泊富营养化治理与生态修复提供了理论依据.     

太湖五里湖生态修复示范区水质改善效果分析

鱼类清除和沉水植被恢复常是富营养化浅水湖泊生态系统修复的重要手段。为探讨这种生态系统修复方式对亚热带富营养化浅水湖泊太湖五里湖水质的改善效果,论文研究了五里湖生态修复区与未进行任何修复的对照湖区为期6个月(2010年7～12月)的水质监测数据。数据分析结果表明,生态修复区总氮(TN)、总磷(TP)、叶绿素-a(Chl-a)以及悬浮质(TSS)浓度显著降低,分别比对照区低43.4%、48.3%、65.5%和78.9%,透明度则明显升高,约为对照区的3倍。本研究表明以鱼类清除和沉水植被恢复为主要手段的生态系统修复措施能够有效改善亚热带富营养化浅水湖泊水体的水质。     

浅析水生植物腐烂分解对水质的影响

随着社会经济的不断进步和发展,促使农牧业以及工业发展得到了质的飞跃,加上人口数量不断增多,导致水资源环境受到了恶劣的破坏。人类为了自己的利益大势进行不科学的开辟利用,造成了众多的污染物排向水源中,水资源受到了相当严重的污染。湖泊富营养化问题受到了越来越多人的关注,一方面水生植物能对水环境受到的破坏进行修复质治理,彻底改善它的水质环境,另一方面水生植物腐烂分解也会使水质受到影响,植物腐烂分解出的物质造成水环境的再次污染。本文将进一步的对水生植物腐烂分解对水质的影响展开分析和探讨。     

3-吲哚乙酸对铜钱草去除氮磷的影响

迅猛发展的水产养殖业在带动经济发展的同时，也引发了一定的环境问题，如养殖废水任意排放，引起河流、湖泊、水库等水体富营养化。水生植物可通过植物根系的吸附、转化、富集等作用降低水中氮磷的浓度。目前已有一些利用铜钱草吸收氮磷营养盐进而改良水质的研究，但主要集中在对不同水质的氮磷吸收率方面。基于此，文章将研究铜钱草在不同浓度吲哚乙酸的作用下对氮、磷的去除效率和蛋白质生理指标的变化，以期为铜钱草作为废水处理植物的应用提供参考。     

草型富营养化湖泊生态恢复工程技术的研究--内蒙古乌梁素海生态恢复工程试验研究

在典型草型富营养化湖泊-内蒙古乌梁素海设立试验研究基地,进行较大规模生态恢复工程试验,研究表明,实施沉水植物收割工程与芦苇园田化生态管理工程是草型富营养化湖泊生态恢复的两项重要技术措施。以机械化方式收割沉水植物能够削减湖泊内源性营养物负荷的积累和释放,减少二次污染,抑制生物填平作用,改善水体环境;采用机械化技术控制芦苇蔓延、打开芦苇区通风道和通水道,可以重建湖泊绿色自然景观,提高全湖水流循环速度。有计划、合理地运用生态恢复工程不仅可以减轻草型湖泊所面临的巨大生态压力,延缓沼泽化演化进程。而且可以在实施生态工程的同时开发利用水生植物资源,使湖泊环境与湿地综合利用得到持续发展。     

城市湖泊富营养化成因和特征

城市湖泊的功能主要体现在旅游、娱乐、洪涝调蓄排水、调节气候以及改善城市生态环境等方向。根据湖泊所处地理位置和湖泊水质退化现象,阐述了城市湖泊水体从贫营养到富营养转变的主要原因：从水质的理化指标、底质污染物含量和水生态系统等方面初步讨论了城市型浅水湖泊富营养化的特征。同非城市湖泊相比：大部分城市湖泊的水体透明度下降,污染严重的湖泊还会出现水体发黑或出现水华：水质和底质的氮磷及其它污染物含量较高,水生态系统急剧退化,水生植物以浮游植物为主,藻类大量繁殖,高等水生植物不断消亡。根据综合营养度指数对我国主要城市湖泊进行分级评价的结果表明,我凼城市湖泊均达到了富营养化或严重富营养化程度。     

湖泊底质与水生植物相互作用综述

简要阐述了湖泊生态系统中底质和水生植物的概念及重要性,综述了底质理化性质对水生植物生长的影响,以及水生植物对底质营养盐的释放和底质再悬浮的作用。通过大量的研究综述回顾论述了不同的湖泊底质类型在一定程度上决定了水生植物的生长状态,适合的底质营养盐范围能促进水生植物生长,不同水生植物对底质营养盐的耐受性有差异。水生植物能促进底质沉降并减少再悬浮,水生植物的存在对沉积物中磷的活性有显著的影响。污染底泥的修复能为水生植物的立地与生长提供了良好的底质条件,有利于富营养化湖泊水生植被的恢复与重建。     

水生植物对富营养水体水质净化作用研究

利用富营养浅水湖泊武汉东湖中所建立的大型实验围隔系统,对沉水植物的水质净化作用作了现场实验研究。重建后的沉水植物可以显著改善水质,水体透明度显著提高,水色降低。在研究期间,水生植物围隔CODcr和BOD5一般分别为20和5mg/L左右;对照围隔和大湖水体则分别约为40和10mg/L。水生植物围隔水体中检出的有机污染种类也较对照围和大湖水体柢。实验结果表明恢复以沉水植物为主的水生植被是改善营养湖泊水质和重建生态系统的有效措施。     

Consequences of Fish Kills for Long-Term Trophic Structure in Shallow Lakes: Implications for Theory and Restoration

Fish kills are a common occurrence in shallow, eutrophic lakes, but their ecological consequences, especially in the long term, are poorly understood. We studied the decadal-scale response of two UK shallow lakes to fish kills using a palaeolimnological approach. Eutrophic and turbid Barningham Lake experienced two fish kills in the early 1950s and late 1970s with fish recovering after both events, whereas less eutrophic, macrophyte-dominated Wolterton Lake experienced one kill event in the early 1970s from which fish failed to recover. Our palaeo-data show fish-driven trophic cascade effects across all trophic levels (covering benthic and pelagic species) in both lakes regardless of pre-kill macrophyte coverage and trophic status. In turbid Barningham Lake, similar to long-term studies of biomanipulations in other eutrophic lakes, effects at the macrophyte level are shown to be temporary after the first kill (c. 20 years) and non-existent after the second kill. In plant-dominated Wolterton Lake, permanent fish disappearance failed to halt a long-term pattern of macrophyte community change (for example, loss of charophytes and over-wintering macrophyte species) symptomatic of eutrophication. Important implications for theory and restoration ecology arise from our study. Firstly, our data support ideas of slow eutrophication-driven change in shallow lakes where perturbations are not necessary prerequisites for macrophyte loss. Secondly, the study emphasises a key need for lake managers to reduce external nutrient loading if sustainable and long-term lake restoration is to be achieved. Our research highlights the enormous potential of multi-indicator palaeolimnology and alludes to an important need to consider potential fish kill signatures when interpreting results.     

洱海蓝藻爆发的时空特征及影响因子

湖泊生态环境对区域气候变化和流域人类活动十分敏感。随着流域的持续开发,洱海作为云贵高原第二大淡水湖泊面临着严重的生态与环境问题,主要包括水质恶化和生态功能的衰退,其中蓝藻水华问题尤为突出。针对湖泊现代监测数据存在时间序列较短、连续监测记录缺乏、监测位点不完全一致等问题,应用沉积物记录开展色素等多指标分析和环境变化重建研究,并对洱海湖区南、中、北3个湖盆的沉积物记录进行对比分析,从而探讨洱海富营养化与蓝藻爆发的历史与变化特征,并识别藻类响应模式的空间异同。沉积物色素记录结果表明,洱海蓝藻生物量变化具有明显的时空差异性,呈现由南至北,先后增加、最后呈现蓝藻水华全湖性持续爆发的模式。进一步的简约模型方差分解结果表明气候变暖和营养盐富集是洱海蓝藻生物量变化的主要驱动因子,此外相对较浅的南部湖盆还受到水位波动、水动力减弱、水生植物演化的综合影响。因此,在气候变暖的背景下,控制水体营养盐输入、合理调控湖泊水位、提高水体透明度并恢复水生植物是控制洱海蓝藻水华爆发和进行生态恢复的重要措施。     

Current status and future tendency of lake eutrophication in China

Current trophic status and trend of Chinese freshwater lakes were investigated in this study. The results showed that all lakes studied were commonly undergoing the eutrophication process, water quality decreased and lake’s ecosystem is being declined. Most of the urban lakes are facing serious eutrophication. Many medium-sized lakes are in metrophic or eutrophic status, some local water are even approaching the hypertrophic level. The famous five freshwater lakes in China have entered into eutrophication in the condition of higher nutrient load. Lake Taihu, Hongze and Caohu are already in eutrophic state. Eutrophic lakes are mainly distributed in the middle and lower reaches of Yangtze River and Yungui plateau. Lake eutrophication developed rapidly. Among the 34 lakes studied in 1970’s, most of lakes were in the mesotrophic status, mesotrophic water area accounted for 91.8%. With the nine year of 1978–1987 the area percentage of oligotrophic lakes decreased from 3.2% to 0.53%, and that of eutrophic lakes increased from 5.0% to 55.01%. Recent data showed 57.5% lakes were in eutrophic and hypertrophic status of the 40 surveyed lakes.

Eutrophic trend of Lake Taihu, Chaohu and Xuanwu in the region of the middle and lower reaches of Yangtze River was predicated using the ecological stress model. The results showed that in 2008 Lake Taihu, Chaohu and Xuanwu might be of eutrophication, eutrophication and hypertrophication, respectively if no control measurement is taken. Provided the pollution water treatment rate is 60% in 2030, approximately 30 billion ton pollution water would still be discharged directly in the lakes. Therefore, in 2030 the urban lakes in China might be eutrophication or hypertrophication, and most of the medium-sized lakes at the urban-rural fringe might be in eutrophication or hypertrophication. The famous five biggest freshwater lakes in China might be eutrophication if control countermeasures are taken as now.

Lake eutrophication has become a serious environmental problem in China. Based on the domestic and foreign experiences of the eutrophic control technologies, both nutrient pollution control and lake ecological restoration should be carried out and this may be the guidance for the eutrophic control of lakes in China.

Response of the cladoceran community to eutrophication, fish introductions and degradation of the macrophyte vegetation in Lake Dianchi, a large, shallow plateau lake in southwestern China

A paleolimnological evaluation was made in order to analyze the effects of increasing nutrient load, macrophyte degradation and fish introductions on the cladoceran community of a large, shallow plateau lake in southwestern China. The trophic state of Lake Dianchi has increased rapidly during recent decades, its macrophyte vegetation has suffered severe degradation, and fish introductions in the late 1950s and early 1980s have had a marked effect on the structure of the fish community. Our results show an increase in abundance of cladoceran species with a preference for eutrophic conditions over the last few decades, while species preferring oligotrophic conditions have decreased or disappeared. These changes correspond to the eutrophication in Lake Dianchi. The loss of the cladocerans Kurzia latissima and Disparalona rostrata is likely to be a reflection of the degradation of the macrophyte community. An increase in Daphnia body size indicated by the ephippia length since the early 1990s is associated with the decline of planktivorous species.     

How important are trophic state,macrophyte and fish population effects on cladoceran community? A study in Lake Erhai

Environmental controls on cladoceran community structure in lake ecosystems are complex and may involve many environmental parameters including trophic state and fish populations. In Lake Erhai, a plateau lake located in southwest China, it was hypothesized that a combination of lake eutrophication and planktivorous fish introduction would increase the abundance of cladoceran, while also decreasing cladoceran size. To test this hypothesis, we examined temporal changes in cladoceran microfossils in the sediments of Lake Erhai over the past century. The influence of changing macrophyte coverage within the littoral region of the lake was also considered. Results demonstrated that cladoceran abundance (measured as flux of cladoceran fossils in the sediments) increased markedly accompanying eutrophication of the lake. In addition, there was a shift in the dominant cladoceran species from those species that prefer oligotrophic conditions to those that prefer mesotrophic and eutrophic conditions. A reduction in the ephippium length of Daphnia spp. was observed and attributed to the introduction of the planktivorous fish Neosalanx taihuensis. Our findings indicated that eutrophication and fish introduction were the main controls affecting cladoceran community structure during the recent decades, and predation by planktivorous fish had an important impact on Daphnia body size.     

太湖湖滨带生态系统健康评价

根据湖滨带生态系统的特点,运用综合健康指数法建立了湖滨带生态系统健康评价体系,由目标层、准则层、指标层构成,其中准则层由湖滨带水质状况、底泥状况、植被状况、其它生物状况(浮游动物、浮游植物、底栖动物)、岸带物理状况5项组成,指标层由总氮、总磷、溶解氧、挺水植物覆盖率等15项指标构成。采用专家打分法、熵值法分别确定了准则层、指标层的权重系数。对太湖湖滨带33个点位进行了采样分析,并进行无量纲化处理后应用到所建立的评价体系中。评价结果显示33个点位中为"很健康"、"健康"、"亚健康"、"疾病"、"严重疾病"的分别占0%、24.2%、21.2%、51.5%及3.0%,也即超过一半的点位处于"疾病"状态。只有东太湖刚刚超过"健康"分数的下限,东部沿岸、贡湖、南部沿岸均处于"亚健康"状态,而梅梁湾、竺山湾、西部沿岸属于"疾病"状态,且竺山湾的生态健康状态最差。该评价结果与太湖湖滨带各分区的实际调查情况相符合,评价方法可靠性、可行性较强,可为其它湖泊湖滨带的生态系统健康评价提供一定的参照。     

星云湖硅藻群落响应近现代人类活动与气候变化的过程

随着人类活动的增强与全球气候变暖的持续,近年来云南湖泊的生态系统功能持续退化,而目前对云南湖泊生态系统的研究还主要集中于单一环境压力的生态效应。以星云湖为研究对象,通过沉积物记录与现代监测资料,识别在湖泊富营养化、气候变化以及人类强烈干扰下硅藻群落结构响应的过程,并甄别驱动群落变化的主要环境压力及其强度。结果显示随着湖泊生产力水平(如沉积物叶绿素a浓度)的增加,硅藻物种组成发生了明显的变化,主成分分析表明了水体富营养化是驱动群落变化的主要环境因子(r=-0.63,P0.001)。简约模型与方差分解的结果表明近200年来(钻孔长度38cm),湖泊营养水平和水动力是驱动星云湖硅藻群落变化的主要环境因子,分别解释了群落变化的18.8%和2.9%;而1951年以后,湖泊营养水平和温度分别解释了硅藻群落结构变化的31.4%和26.8%。研究结果表明了硅藻群落长期变化的主控因子是湖泊营养水平,而人类活动及气候变化等可以通过改变湖泊水动力及湖水温度来驱动硅藻群落的演替,同时抚仙湖-星云湖的连通性也对硅藻群落的演替产生了一定影响。     

湖南省大通湖百余年环境演化历史及营养物基准的建立

科学有效地治理退化湖泊需要知晓湖泊的演化历史, 并设立合理的参照目标(即环境基准)来及时评判治理效果。湖南省大通湖位于经济发达的长江中下游地区, 发挥着重要的湖泊水生态系统服务功能。在强烈的人类活动干扰下, 该湖近年来生态系统退化严重, 但其水环境演变的历史缺少详细的记录。研究对大通湖沉积钻孔的年代、烧失量、化学元素、沉积物总磷(TP)和沉积硅藻等沉积指标进行了分析, 重建了大通湖百余年来的环境变化历史。结果表明: 在人类干扰加强和气候变化的共同作用下, 大通湖生态系统及环境发生了显著的变化, 硅藻群落由中营养属种Aulacoseira granulata占优过渡到以富营养浮游类型Stephanodiscus hantzschii、S. minutulus占优的过程, 揭示了该湖自1980s以来显著的富营养化过程; 对应的, 其他沉积指标亦发生了显著的变化。冗余分析揭示出沉积物总磷(TP)和铅(Pb)含量是影响湖泊环境演化的2个显著变量, 这表明工农业发展带来的营养和重金属输入对大通湖环境演化影响巨大。利用区域-总磷转换函数重建了大通湖过去百余年湖水总磷变化历史, 选择1850s人类活动相对较弱时期的湖水总磷(50—60 μg/L)及沉积物磷的浓度(600 mg/kg)值作为该湖的基准环境, 为湖泊的富营养化治理提供修复目标。
