Environmental restoration effects of Ranunculus sceleratus L. in a eutrophic sewage system

This study investigated the environmental restoration effects of Ranunculus sceleratus in a sewage system microcosm trial, including the removal of pollutants and algal inhibition. We compared the removal of pollutants by R. sceleratus in a eutrophic sewage system in the presence and the absence of algae. The rate of removal without algae was 16.2–20.5% of that with algae. ${\text{NH}}_4^{+}–\text{N}$ was removed most readily by R. sceleratus. The effects of R. sceleratus on the growth of Microcystis aeruginosa were also investigated in two allelopathic modes. The level of algal inhibition after the addition of an extract of Ranunculus scleratus was 57.1–78.9% greater than that in a co-culture test. To understand the role of allelopathy interference with algal development, we also determined the total flavonoid contents of plants, which ranged from 3.57 g to 20.19 g per plant. The cell density of Microcystis aeruginosa was negatively correlated with the total flavonoids in R. sceleratus, although aquatic macrophytes may contain other allelochemicals involved with algal inhibition in addition to flavonoid compounds. The environmental effects of R. sceleratus were significantly correlated with its growth stage (or water retention time), plant height, and biomass. This study suggests that R. sceleratus has potential for the low-effort and sustainable management of freshwaters, particularly the removal of nutrient pollutants and the reduction of excessive algal growth, which may be attributable to allelochemicals such as flavonoids. The in situ environmental restoration effects of R. sceleratus require further investigation at the ecosystem level.     

岩溶石漠化区不同植被恢复模式土壤无机磷形态特征及影响因素

为分析岩溶石漠化区不同植被恢复模式土壤无机磷的形态特征,评价植被恢复的土壤供磷潜力,阐明有机碳及钙素在无机磷形态转化中的作用,选取研究区内8种有代表性的样地,采用蒋柏藩无机磷分级方法对土壤无机磷形态特征及影响因素进行研究。结果表明:研究区土壤全磷与速效磷含量分别在0.25—1.35 g/kg、1.05—53.01 mg/kg范围,无机磷总量在123.94—934.61 mg/kg,耕地与退耕地以及各退耕地之间全磷、速效磷、各形态无机磷含量水平差异明显,各退耕地磷素含量水平介于耕地与次生马尾松林地之间,退耕地中桃林地、花椒林地磷素含量水平较高、樟树林地、柳杉林地、撂荒草地次之、撂荒灌丛地较低。各样地土壤无机磷占全磷比例在51.2%—72.4%,不同形态的无机磷含量表现为O-PFe-PCa-PAl-P,其中Ca2-P、Al-P对速效磷的贡献率大,Fe-P、Ca8-P贡献较小,O-P、Ca10-P献率最小。不同活性土壤有机碳与不同形态钙素对各形态无机磷在总无机磷中比例的影响较大,p H、容重、粘粒含量、含水量等其它理化性质影响较小。     

内蒙古半干旱生态脆弱矿区生态修复耦合机理与产业模式

近年,煤炭开采带动矿区经济发展的同时也造成了严重的生态环境问题。由此产生生态修复和土地复垦产业延伸的生态环境治理和矿区产业调整优化方面研究热点,二者形成的耦合系统可在恢复受损土地的同时,以治理和循环生产为契机延伸产业链。受损地形重塑及边开采边恢复技术开发及应用形成安全稳定地形条件是前提,其次是土壤的恢复重构,在当地条件下迅速恢复具备良好理化性质,供植被和经济能源作物生长和景观格局构建,最终形成修复产业和生态产业的价值创造平台。根据耦合系统的工艺特点,每年内蒙矿区利用该耦合系统以矿区受损土地修复进行循环生产生态修复产品的潜力约21915.51万吨和经济能源作物的潜力约21.15万t。     

我国大型煤炭基地建设的生态恢复技术研究综述

煤炭能源是我国的主体能源,在我国经济社会发展中具有重要的战略地位。煤炭工业是关系我国经济发展和能源供应安全的重要基础产业。由于受传统发展观的影响,煤炭工业一直存在生产粗放、安全事故频发、资源浪费严重、环境治理和管理滞后等问题。我国大型煤炭基地的建设对提高煤炭供应保障能力起到了关键支撑作用。因此,从区域可持续发展的角度出发,加强矿区的生态恢复,深化煤炭资源的开发利用和环境保护,对促进国家和区域生态环境与社会经济的可持续发展,构建和谐矿区,确保区域乃至全国的生态安全特别是能源安全具有重要的意义。介绍了国家大型煤炭基地的发展历程、分布和开发现状,以及煤炭开采利用带来的一系列生态环境问题,重点阐述了当前我国煤炭基地建设的关键生态恢复技术体系,并从生态恢复与环境管理的角度提出我国大型煤炭基地的可持续发展建议。     

整治区植烟土壤养分空间变异及肥力适宜性等级评价

采用地理信息系统(GIS)技术和地统计学方法,研究了湖北省恩施市“清江源”现代烟草农业科技园区、恩施城郊和利川柏杨基地单元新整治区域的土壤属性和速效养分空间变异特征,并采用模糊数学法对其土壤肥力适宜性指数(SFI)进行评价.结果表明: 土地整治对土壤速效磷含量的变异和空间分布的影响较大,这种影响程度可能与地形地貌特征和整治程度有关;土地整治对土壤pH值的影响较小,但是柏杨土壤酸化严重(pH<5.5).77.6%的城郊土壤具有较低的SFI,而柏杨和清江源分别仅有17.1%和31.4%的土壤具有较低的SFI.柏杨需要重点解决土壤酸化问题,城郊需要重点解决整个区域土壤培肥和肥力均衡化问题,而清江源则需解决SFI较低区域的培肥问题.     

Advances in the reintroduction of rare and endangered wild plant species

Human disturbance and climate change have increased the risk of extinction for rare and endangered wild plant species.One effective way to conserve these rare and endangered species is through reintroduction.In this review,we summarize the advances in wild plant reintroduction from five perspectives:the establishment of reintroduction biology as an important tool for biodiversity conservation;the importance of genetic diversity in reintroduction;reintroduction under global climate change;recruitment limitation in reintroduction;and reintroduction and ecological restoration.In addition,we consider the future of plant reintroduction strategies.
