长江河口九段沙互花米草湿地生态系统N、P、K的循环特征

研究了九段沙外来入侵种互花米草（Spartina alterniflora）湿地生态系统的营养元素含量、分布规律与循环特征。结果表明,九段沙的上沙、中沙和下沙互花米草湿地土壤全量养分含量差异相对较小,而速效性养分含量差异相对较大。土壤剖面中TK含量大大高于TN和TP含量,排序为:TK＞TN＞TP。各沙洲速效性养分含量排序为：速效K＞速效N＞速效P。土壤速效性养分与全量养分的空间分布规律并不一致,土壤剖面营养元素的垂直分布差异比较明显,速效性养分土壤剖面垂直分异比全量养分显著。各深度土壤营养元素含量均存在差异,不同沙洲同一深度土壤营养元素含量也存在差异。各沙洲不同深度土壤TN含量的差异明显大于TP和TK含量差异。植物中3种营养元素含量以K最高,N其次,P最低。湿地生态系统营养元素归还量远大于存留量。吸收系数排序为：N＞P＞K。不同沙洲营养元素的利用系数和循环系数存在明显差异,上沙P元素、中沙与下沙K元素利用系数最大,上沙K元素、中沙P元素与下沙N元素循环系数最大。     

黑臭水体生物修复中各粒级浮游植物与环境因子的关系

通过对黑臭水体生物修复过程中水体理化指标以及浮游植物粒经分级叶绿素a的分析,探讨了水体生物修复对理化因子的影响以及与各粒级浮游植物与理化因子的关系。生物修复实施后,各试验组CODCr和BOD5均呈下降趋势,试验组C、D、E的氨氮、总氮和总磷净化效果均较显著,氨氮去除率分别达到71.3％、84.0％和93.2％,总氮去除率分别达到45.2％、64.6％和78.0％,总磷下降幅度分别达到46.2％、50.3％和75.5％。其中,试验组理化环境改善最佳的组为E组,其CODCr、NH4和TP指标均较对照组A有明显下降（p <0.05）。Netphytoplankton chla%与CODCr、TN、NH4和TP呈非常显著的负相关（p<0.01）,与NO2-N和NO3-N呈非常显著的正相关;而Nanophytoplankton Chla%和Picophytoplankton Chla%对上述环境因子的响应与Netphytoplankton Chla%相反。     

Application of the size-fractionation method to simultaneous estimation of clearance rates by heterotrophic flagellates and ciliates of pico- and nanophytoplankton

To estimate the clearance rates of pico- and nanophytoplankton by heterotrophic nanoflagellates (HNF) and ciliates, the size-fractionation method was employed in combination with a multiple regression analysis. Apparent growth rate of a specific phytoplankton group was decomposed into three terms, net growth rate, grazing rates by HNF and those by ciliates, and the grazing rates were interpreted as a linear function of average cell concentrations of HNF and ciliates. We produced a set of subsamples from a water sample by size-fractionation using three different pore sizes. By measuring phytoplankton and protozoan cell concentrations, apparent growth rate of a specific phytoplankton group was regressed against the average cell concentrations of HNF and ciliates to obtain the net growth rate of the phytoplankton group and the average clearance rates by these two protozoan groups. The estimated values were within the range of those previously reported for cultured and natural protozoan, which supported the feasibility of the present method. The estimated values also suggested that picophytoplankton abundance in Otsuchi Bay in spring is controlled mainly by HNF through active grazing. The present study rediscovered the utility of the size-fractionation method as a method to estimate the clearance rates of different protozoan groups from natural assemblages in a single experiment.
