Biogeochemical cycle of Sulfer in the Calamagrostis angustifolia wetland ecosystem in the Sanjiang Plain, China

To better understand the Sulfur (S) cycle in the wetland ecosystem, the S cycle and its compartmental distribution within an atmosphere-plant-soil system were studied using a compartment model in the Calamagrostis angustifolia wetland in the Sanjiang Plain, Northeast China. The results showed that the soil was the main S storage and flux hinge in which 97.78% S was accumulated. In the plant subsystem, the root was the main S storage, and it remained at 79.60% of the total S contents, which in the Calamagrostis angustifolia wetland ecosystem showed that the parts above the ground took up 0.75 g S/m², the S re-transferring biomass to the root was 0.24 g S/m², and to the litter was 0.51 g S/m²; the root took up 3.76 g S/m² and the S transferring biomass to the soil took up 3.07 g S/m²; the litter S biomass was 0.75 g S/(m²·a) and the S transferring biomass to the soil was more than 0.52 g S/(m²·a). The emission amount of H2S from the Calamagrostis angustifolia wetland ecosystem to the atmosphere was 1.42 mg S/m², whereas carbonyl sulfide (COS) was absorbed by the Calamagrostis angustifolia wetland from the atmosphere and the absorption amount was 1.83 mg S/m². The S input biomass from the rain to the ecosystem was 4.85mg S/m² during the growing season. The difference between input and output amounts was 5.26 mg S/m², which indicated that S was accumulated in the ecosystem and would lead to wetland acidification in the future.     

基于ArcView-WOE的下辽河平原地下水生态系统健康评价

地下水生态系统是生态系统的重要类型,随着社会经济的发展,地下水资源与环境压力日益增大,地下水生态系统健康问题已经成为人类重点关注的环境问题之一。以ArcView为平台,以下辽河平原硝酸盐氮浓度为响应因子,并从地下水系统结构特征、区域自然条件、外界压力、资源与保护和生态环境5个方面建立证据因子的图层数据库,利用证据权重法(WOE)对下辽河平原地下水生态系统健康进行评价,得到硝酸盐氮后验概率分布图。结果表明:下辽河平原的西北、东北部、东南部及抚顺和辽阳地区地下水生态系统健康处于相对高和较高概率区,东部山前冲洪积平原及下辽河平原的周边地区处于中等概率区,下辽河平原的中部平原、南部滨海平原地区处于相对低和较低概率区。将地下水水质监测点硝酸盐氮含量与后验概率分布图进行对比分析,发现二者对应性较好,这说明WOE可以用于地下水生态系统健康评价,其概率表现形式能够有效的弥补传统生态系统健康评价结果是一个具体值(或等级)而无法反映生态系统健康不确定性的不足。     

三角洲平原水库堤坝土壤水和可溶性盐空间分布特征

以辽宁省大洼县三角洲平原水库坝体不同坡向、坡位、剖面深度的土壤为研究对象,分析了土壤含水率和可溶性盐总量在水平空间与垂直空间上的变异与分布特征。结果表明:与含水率相比,土壤可溶性盐总量的变异相对较高;二者均为中等变异性且变异性的趋势较一致。坝体南坡土壤的平均可溶性盐总量、平均含水率均大于北坡。不同土层之间平均可溶性盐总量从大到小的顺序为:中层>下层>表层;而平均含水率随土壤剖面深度增加而增加。不同坡位间可溶性盐总量没有显著性差异;上坡位与中坡位的平均含水率基本持平,下坡位最高。研究结果可为辽河三角洲地区平原水库堤坝及其周边盐碱土治理与植被恢复提供依据。     

长江下游平原区乡村景观的结构、管理和土壤有机碳研究

通过实地研究主要位于宜兴市域的区域乡村景观代表性样方,评价并阐明了人口密集的长江下游平原区乡村景观的结构,土地管理与土壤有机碳储量的关系。景观绘图是基于1m分辨率的IKONOS影像并采用生态立地分类及绘图标准,通过直接解译和实地检验对边界清晰的均质景观缀块进行分类和绘图;依据区域权重分层取样设计方法,在生态立地斑块中随机设定取样点进行土壤和淤泥取样;利用区域权重系数进行区域土地利用/覆被和土壤有机碳储量评价计算。结果表明:在2.13×106hm2的长江下游平原区乡村景观面积范围内,0~30cm土壤有机碳储量为76.97Tg。该区域土地利用/覆被的主要类型为水田,水产养殖,非渗漏性建筑用地,旱地1年生作物和水浇地多年生作物,这5种类型的面积百分数和土壤有机碳储量百分数分别为83%和85%。其中平原稻田面积为0.89×106hm2,占总面积的42%;其0~30cm土壤有机碳储量高达36.60Tg,占总储量的48%。通过区域分层取样和小尺度景观斑块的区域权重推绎分析,揭示了人口密集的乡村景观中土地利用/覆被方式对当地和区域土壤有机碳的影响模式。这种在小尺度下对土地管理调查,土壤有机碳和其它生态特征研究的方法明显优于传统的基于30~1000m分辨率遥感影像的土地覆被研究和基于土壤类型的区域土壤有机碳储量评价方法。     

Decomposition and nutrient dynamics of marsh litter in the Sanjiang Plain, Northeast China

The litterbag technique was used to study the decomposition and nutrient dynamics of marsh litter in the four communities, Carex pseudocuraica (C.pa), C. lasiocarpa (C.la), Deyeuxia angustifolia (D.aa), and D. angustifolia-Shrub (D.aa-Srb), in Sanjiang Plain, Northeast China. Decomposition was divided into two periods in the first year, with the mass loss ranging from 11.7% to 31.4% of the initial mass during summer and autumn, accounting for more than 75% of the annual loss. The decomposition rates ranged from 0.000 612 to 0.000 945 d^?1 depending on the depth of the flooding and its duration, and differed significantly in each community. The litter decomposed faster in communities with deeper and perennial flooding than in those with shallow and seasonal flooding. The initial ratios of C:N and C:P were also different among the four litter types, but these differences had no impact on the decomposition rates, suggesting that the main factor influencing the decomposition rates of marsh litter was the flooding status rather than the litter quality. The N concentrations in C.pa and C.la almost continuously increased over time, with their final values being 2.8 and 2.4 times higher than the initial ones, respectively. However, the nutrient dynamics in D.aa and D.aa-Srb offered another pattern, sharply falling in the first month and then gradually rising, with the values at the end of the experiment being close to those at the beginning. The litter accumulated substantial amounts of N in C.pa and C.la, while net N release from the litter was observed in both D.aa and D.aa-Srb. The difference may be caused by microorganisms' demand for nutrition, and then limited by the C:N ratios of litter and the availability of nitrogen from the soil and marsh water. In contrast with N dynamics, P concentrations of all the litter types apparently decreased during the first month, and then continued to decline in C.pa, remained constant in C.la and D.aa and increased slightly in D.aa-Srb. At the end of the experiment, the P concentrations decreased, respectively, by 56%, ?5%, 47% and 24% of the initial values of C.la, C. pa, D.aa and D.aa-Srb. The net P release was observed in all marsh litter over 480 days of decomposition and the intensity of the P release was different amongst communities, which may be regulated by ratios of initial C:P. The results suggested that in the marsh with the N limitation, litter tended to accumulate N and release P during decomposition and the intensity of accumulation or release was closely related to the initial C:N and C:P ratios.     

Spatial and temporal variation of atmospheric nitrogen deposition in the North China Plain

A monitoring network of nine sites was established to determine the spatial and temporal variation of atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition in the North China Plain (NCP) over a two-year period. The annual bulk deposition of inorganic N in the North China Plain ranged from 18.4 to 38.5 kg/hm² and averaged 28.0 kg/hm². The concentration of NH₄⁺-N and NO₃^?-N in rainwater averaged 3.76 and 1.85 mg/L, respectively, which were significantly higher than the values at background sites in China (normally less than 0.5 mg/L). Annual bulk deposition of inorganic N in the Beijing area (32.5 kg/hm²) was higher than that in Shandong and Hebei provinces (21.2 kg/hm² on an average). Also bulk N deposition was much greater in Dongbeiwang and Fangshan than in Yanqing and Shunyi counties. Significant spatial variation of bulk deposition was observed in the Beijing area because of variation of precipitation, and 60% of bulk deposition occurred from June to September. Bulk deposition of NH₄⁺-N was 2.0 times that of NO₃^?-N deposition at the rural monitoring sites. However, the situation was reversed at the Beijing Academy of Agricultural-Forestry Sciences (BAAFS), the unique urban monitoring site. The results suggest that reduced N in precipitation is dominant in rural regions, but oxidized N is the major form in urban regions. The positive relationship between inorganic N deposition and precipitation can be fitted by a power equation (r²= 0.67), showing an increase of NH₄⁺-N and NO₃^?-N inputs with increased precipitation. Wet deposition of N accounted for 73% of the bulk deposition, implying that dry deposition of N, particularly NH₄⁺-N from dust, is important in the North China Plain.     

华北平原大气氮素沉降的时空变异

利用量雨器和湿沉降自动收集仪在华北平原9个监测点通过2a的试验,研究了农田生态系统中大气氮素沉降的时空变异。结果表明:华北平原大气氮素混合沉降的平均值为28.0 kg/(hm2.a),降水中铵态氮和硝态氮量平均分别为3.76 mg/L和1.85 mg/L。不同地区比较,北京大气氮素沉降为32.5 kg/(hm2.a),明显高于山东和河北两省的23.6 kg/(hm2.a)。北京各监测点的大气氮素沉降也存在明显空间变异,东北旺、房山的氮素沉降水平较高,延庆、顺义的氮素沉降水平较低。大气氮素沉降的年内分布不均,60%的沉降集中在降水较丰沛的6~9月份。氮素的输入与降雨量呈乘幂型正相关(r2=0.67),在农田生态系统中以铵态氮的沉降为主,铵态氮的沉降量是硝态氮的2.0倍;城市生态系统中以硝态氮的沉降为主,铵态氮的沉降量是硝态氮的0.79倍。在东北旺试验点近两年的监测结果表明,在等量降雨量条件下湿沉降输入的氮素(18~20.6 kg/hm2)明显低于混合沉降(26.3 kg/hm2),湿沉降的氮素输入仅占后者的73%,而混合沉降中的超量部分主要来自铵态氮,表明干沉降尤其是降尘带入的铵态氮也是华北平原大气氮素沉降的重要来源。     

三江平原农业生态系统露水凝结规律

露水是农业生态系统水分平衡、养分循环不可忽视的输入项。在对露水相关参数设定的基础上进一步探讨农田露水的凝结规律。选择杨木棒做为露水收集器,在三江平原于作物生长季(6月初—9月末)对水稻、玉米和大豆茎叶上的露水凝结进行了实地监测。结果表明:生长季农作物约70%的无雨夜间有露水凝结,年露日数约为70d;7、8月份作物露水强度最强,丰水年露水强度显著强于平水年(P0.05),水稻和大豆的露水强度基本持平,显著高于玉米露水强度(P0.05);垂直方向上各作物露水凝结规律一致,冠层露水强度强于顶层,底层露水强度最弱;农作物露水量较为可观,旱田作物年露水量保守值约为10—15mm,水田作物年露水量为旱田的2—3倍,叶面积指数(LAI)成为限制作物年露水量的关键因子。此外,露水对水田喷洒叶面肥等农业生产活动有指导意义,在旱田作物抗病虫害、集水抗旱方面具有重要生态意义。

我国区域间生物入侵的现状及防治

区域间生物入侵是指国家内部不同区域间物种入侵所引发的危害。由于我国生态系统错综多样,国内人员、物品流动频繁且不易监控,因此区域间生物入侵危害已经十分严峻。本文主要以我国以及国外已有的区域间生物入侵事件为例,分析其主要的入侵途径、危害与防治措施。区域间生物入侵主要通过引种、运输、人为干扰等途径,可以造成土著种灭绝、基因污染、生物多样性降低等危害。全球气候变化、南水北调等大型工程建设以及海峡两岸交流等领域是今后我国区域间生物入侵研究的主要方向。
