龙须菜对富营养化海水的生物修复

于2002年至2004年期间,在福建省东山岛的八尺门鱼类网箱养殖区、西埔湾对虾养殖区、乌礁湾鲍鱼养殖区等进行了龙须菜(G racilaria lem aneaf orm is)对动物海水养殖造成的富营养化的生物修复研究。结果表明,从围隔实验到小面积的海区实验到大面积的海区推广试点,龙须菜对富营养化的海水均有良好的修复效果。围隔实验中,龙须菜能使网箱养殖区缺氧的海水达到过饱和状态,对无机氮(IN)、无机磷(IP)的去除率达80%以上;实验海区,修复区的溶解氧(DO)浓度明显高于非修复区,IN、IP、叶绿素(Ch l-a)浓度低于非修复区;推广海区,鲍鱼养殖污水流经龙须菜养殖区后,IN、IP得到有效的吸收,DO浓度得到提高。因此,大面积养殖龙须菜对减轻养殖污水对海区的污染,防止水体富营养化,抑制赤潮的发生有积极作用。     

An experimental manipulation of oligochaete communities in mesocosms treated with chlorpyrifos or nutrient additions: multivariate analyses with Monte Carlo permutation tests

Oligochaete communities were monitored under semi-natural conditions in experimental ditch mesocosms. Twelve ditches were used in a Before-Control-After-Impact (BACI) experiment to study the effect of the insecticide chlorpyrifos. Another eight ditches were used in a randomized experiment to study the effect of eutrophication. Oligochaete communities were sampled by deploying trays of substratum for colonization over a 20-week period. The experiments were analyzed by multivariate analysis using redundancy analysis and Monte Carlo permutation to assess statistical significance. These novel methods have the advantage over classical multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) of being distribution-free and of having no restrictive upper limit on the number of species that can be analyzed simultaneously. In the BACI-experiment no significant effect of chlorpyrifos on oligochaete communities was detected. Eutrophication effects were observed at the higher eutrophication levels in clay ditches. Oligochaete abundances decreased in those ditches. Considerable variation was attributed to stochastic factors given that the ditches were in an early developmental stage when the experiments were initiated.Large-scale experiments such as the ones that we describe require time to develop and stabilize before parameters of community structure like population abundance, can be employed to detect changes associated with water quality manipulations.     

Internal eutrophication in peat soils through competition between chloride and sulphate with phosphate for binding sites

Inputs of surface waters high in chloride and sulphateincreased the availability of nutrients in fenpeatlands. This `internal eutrophication' wasdemonstrated with test plants (`phytometers') andthrough water and soil analysis. Three experiments arepresented in which the level of chloride and/orsulphate was increased to 3 mmol_c l^–1. Inexperiment 1 chloride levels were increased from 0.5to 3 mmol_c l^–1 as CaCl₂ or NaCl. Inexperiment 2 and 3 similar increased levels forchloride and sulphate (3 mmol_c l^–1; as NaCland Na₂SO₄) were used. The following resultswere found:(i) No differences in soil total-N and total-P werefound before and after the treatments in any of thethree experiments.(ii) Experiment 1 showed a significant increase inBio-Available P (BAP) in pots planted with Anthoxanthum odoratum as well as in bare pots for theNaCl and CaCl₂ treatments. The plants in thesetreatments had taken up much more P.(iii) Experiment 2 showed an increase in soil BAPafter treatment with chloride and sulphate in potsplanted with Anthoxanthum odoratum. The chloridetreatment had no effect on plant biomass, whereas thesulphate treatment resulted in a reduction in rootbiomass and root N and P content. The shoots showedan increase in P content in the sulphate and chloridetreatments, while N content remained the same.(iv) In experiment 3, treatments with chloride andsulphate led to significantly increased biomass and Puptake of Anthoxanthum odoratum. Again, noeffects on N uptake were found.These experiments provide evidence for distinctlyincreased availability of phosphate in peat soils whenthese come into contact with water with evenmoderately increased sulphate or chloride levels.Surface water originating from the Rhine river, whichis enriched in chloride and sulphate, is oftensupplied to fen reserves in The Netherlands, tocompensate for water losses due to agriculturaldrainage in the region. The results of this study showthat phosphate availability to the vegetation may risedrastically, with detrimental effects on the speciesdensity and the occurrence of rare species in thevegetation. Hence, supply of this water should beavoided.     

Nitrogen accumulation and distribution in Danthonia richardsonii swards in response to CO2 and nitrogen supply over four years of growth

Nitrogen‐stressed microcosms of the C3 grass Danthonia richardsonii gained nitrogen from the environment when grown under ambient or enriched (359, ‘amb’ or 719 μL L^{? 1}‘enr’, respectively) atmospheric CO₂ concentrations over a 4‐y period. This gain was apparent at all rates of supplied mineral N (2.2, 6.7 or 19.8 g N m^{? 2} y^{? 1}– low‐N, mid‐N or high‐N), although it was small at high‐N. Small losses of N occurred from the microcosm as leachate, while gaseous losses of N were estimated to be between 10% and 25% of applied mineral N. Losses of applied mineral N were slightly lower under CO₂ enrichment only at the highest rate of mineral N supply. Levels of ¹⁵N natural abundance in green leaf (δ¹⁵Ν) of ? 2‰ (amb low‐N) and of below ? 4‰ (enr low‐ & mid‐N) suggest that absorption of atmospheric NH₃ may have been a source of some of the extra N in the low and mid‐N treatments. Biological N₂ fixation, of up to 2 g m^{? 2} y^{? 1} was hypothesized to form the remainder of the environmental N source. Microcosm C:N ratio was higher under CO₂ enrichment. Nitrogen productivity of microcosm carbon gain (g C accumulated g^{? 1} leaf N day^{? 1}) was increased (up to 100%) by CO₂ enrichment at all rates of mineral N supply. Green leaf %N was reduced by CO₂ enrichment, and there was less nitrogen in the green leaf pool under CO₂ enrichment. Less, or the same amount of nitrogen was present in senesced leaf, surface litter and root under CO₂ enrichment while more nitrogen was present in the soil in organic forms, and as NH₄ + at the highest rate of mineral N supply.     

Historical changes in species composition and richness accompanying perturbation and eutrophication of Danish lowland streams over 100 years

1. European lowland streams have experienced increased perturbation and eutrophication during the past 100 years. We use archive information from 27 Danish stream sites around 1896 and new data from 208 stream sites in 1996 to evaluate the accompanying changes in stream vegetation. Among the stream sites, 13 were both studied in 1896 and 1996. 2. The species richness of submerged plants has declined profoundly over the 100-year period, particularly among the large group of Potamogeton species. This is evident both from the direct comparison of the 13 stream reaches included in both studies, and from the general comparison of all stream reaches included in the two studies. 3. The Potamogeton vegetation has become less diverse, and is now dominated by species resistant to frequent disturbance through a high dispersal capacity. Potamogeton species, adapted to eutrophic conditions, have also increased relative to species more typical of oligotrophic conditions over this period. The dominant submerged species in the contemporary stream vegetation generally show a high capacity for dispersal and regrowth of detached shoots. 4. The decline of species richness in Danish streams can be partly explained by a decline in the species richness in lakes in the stream system. The rich vegetation observed downstream of lakes in the past has mostly disappeared due to loss of the vegetation in the now eutrophic lakes and increasing turbidity downstream. 5. The overall decline in richness, and the directional change in dominance patterns among stream species, can thus be explained by the loss of suitable habitats and the strong anthropogenic impacts, which have driven several European aquatic species close to extinction.     

Including oxidisation of ammonia in the eutrophication impact category

Oxygen depletion of lake and seawater is a serious condition with large implications for biodiversity. Therefore, in LCA, the potential oxygen demand of water emissions is estimated under the label eutrophication impact category. This impact category should contain the impact of water emissions on the total oxygen consumption in the receiving water. This means that it should include both primary and secondary oxygen consumption. In spite of this, the oxygen needed to oxidise ammonia has normally not been taken into account when quantifying the eutrophication impact category. In this paper, weighting factors for ammonium/ammonia are suggested for the eutrophication impact category. It is shown that, for treated wastewater, the amount of oxygen needed for nitrification of ammonia is important when compared to the potential eutrophication calculated using the current recommended weighting factors. These weighting factors take into account oxygen needed to oxidise the organic matter in the wastewater emission and that needed to degrade the algae potentially grown due to the emission of nutrients.     

Impact of eutrophication on shallow marine benthic foraminifers over the last 150 years in Osaka Bay, Japan

High-resolution foraminiferal analysis was conducted on a short sediment core from the inner part of Osaka Bay, Japan. Changes in foraminiferal assemblages were associated with eutrophication, bottom water hypoxia, and changes in red tide-causing algae. Before the 1920s, the calcareous species Ammonia beccarii, and the agglutinated species Eggerella advena and Trochammina hadai were rare, but calcareous foraminifers in general were abundant. Between the 1920s and 1940s, calcareous foraminifers decreased abruptly in abundance, while A. beccarii, E. advena and T. hadai increased in abundance. This faunal change corresponded in time to an increase in nutrients flowing in through the Yodo River, and bottom water hypoxia related to eutrophication. In the 1960s and 1970s, A. beccarii, E. advena and T. hadai further increased in abundance to become dominant, and many calcareous foraminifers nearly disappeared, corresponding to increasing bottom water hypoxia related to the rapid increase in discharged nutrients during the high economic growth period from 1953 to 1971. After the 1990s, A. beccarii decreased rapidly in abundance and E. advena and Uvigerinella glabra increased in abundance. The main components of red tide-causing algae changed from dinoflagellates to diatoms in the 1980s through 1990s, thus there was a change in the food supply to the benthos, which may have caused the increase in abundance of E. advena and U. glabra.     

Atmospheric nitrogen deposition has caused nitrogen enrichment and eutrophication of lakes in the northern hemisphere

We compiled chemical data and phytoplankton biomass (PB) data (chlorophyll a ) from unproductive lakes in 42 different regions in Europe and North America, and compared these data to inorganic nitrogen (N) deposition over these regions. We demonstrate that increased deposition of inorganic N over large areas of Europe and North America has caused elevated concentrations of inorganic N in lakes. In addition, the unproductive lakes in high N deposition areas had clearly higher PB relative to the total phosphorus (P) concentrations illustrating that the elevated inorganic N concentrations has resulted in eutrophication and increased biomass of phytoplankton. The eutrophication caused by inorganic N deposition indicates that PB yield in a majority of lakes in the northern hemisphere is (was) limited by N in their natural state. We, therefore, suggest that P limitation largely concerns lakes where the balance between N and P has been changed because of increased anthropogenic input of N.     

Lake eutrophication and its implications for organic carbon sequestration in Europe

The eutrophication of lowland lakes in Europe by excess nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) is severe because of the long history of land‐cover change and agricultural intensification. The ecological and socio‐economic effects of eutrophication are well understood but its effect on organic carbon (OC) sequestration by lakes and its change overtime has not been determined. Here, we compile data from ~90 culturally impacted European lakes [~60% are eutrophic, Total P (TP) >30 μg P l^?1] and determine the extent to which OC burial rates have increased over the past 100–150 years. The average focussing corrected, OC accumulation rate (C AR_FC) for the period 1950–1990 was ~60 g C m^?2 yr^?1, and for lakes with >100 μg TP l^?1 the average was ~100 g C m^?2 yr^?1. The ratio of post‐1950 to 1900–1950 C AR is low (~1.5) indicating that C accumulation rates have been high throughout the 20th century. Compared to background estimates of OC burial (~5–10 g C m^?2 yr^?1), contemporary rates have increased by at least four to fivefold. The statistical relationship between C AR_FC and TP derived from this study (r² = 0.5) can be used to estimate OC burial at sites lacking estimates of sediment C‐burial. The implications of eutrophication, diagenesis, lake morphometry and sediment focussing as controls of OC burial rates are considered. A conservative interpretation of the results of the this study suggests that lowland European meso‐ to eutrophic lakes with >30 μg TP l^?1 had OC burial rates in excess of 50 g C m^?2 yr^?1 over the past century, indicating that previous estimates of regional lake OC burial have seriously underestimated their contribution to European carbon sequestration. Enhanced OC burial by lakes is one positive side‐effect of the otherwise negative impact of the anthropogenic disruption of nutrient cycles.     

筑坝河流磷素的迁移转化及其富营养化特征

人类活动过量营养物质输入是导致河流富营养化的主要原因,而河道过度的人为调控则进一步复杂化了河流的营养状态变化。闸坝是河流人为调控的重要工程措施之一,提高水资源利用效率的同时严重干扰了河流自然的生物地球化学循环,产生诸多负面生态环境效应。磷素的迁移转化对河流的营养限制作用受到越来越多的关注,国内外已有研究在筑坝河流磷的富营养化特征方面,已经取得了较为深刻的认识:水库闸坝建设滞留大量磷素,导致河流水体磷含量升高、营养物质比例变化,沉积物储存过量磷素形成的内源释放威胁,以及进一步浮游植物和有害藻类的生长响应等,使得筑坝河流的富营养化生态风险升高;在此基础上,也提出了根据降雨分配和闸控库区储水,合理设置闸坝泄流方式,以改善筑坝河流富营养化生态风险的重要管理思路。对于闸坝调控作用与水体富营养化的定量关系还有待进一步的探讨,而且随着河流资源开发和人为调控力度的增强,河流闸坝建设所产生的系列生态环境问题日益严峻,对此提出还需要系统研究的方向:闸坝调控作用下河流磷素的富营养化机制及其与氮、碳等元素的耦合作用,筑坝河流沉积物内源污染的综合管理,以及闸控景观河流的生态建设和修复等。     

4种水生植物对富营养化水体氮磷去除效果的研究

以灯心草、水田芥、菹草和轮藻为试验对象,研究了其在两种不同程度富营养化水体中的生长状况及对水体中总氮(TN)、总磷(TP)、氨氮(NH4+-N)和化学耗氧量(COD)的净化效果。结果表明,在轻度富营养化水体中水田芥效果最好,培养20 d后的水田芥对总氮、总磷、氨氮和化学耗氧量的吸收率分别为75.28%、93.00%、76.35%和83.74%,其它3种水生植物对水体也都有较好的净化效果;在重度富营养化水体中灯心草效果最好,培养20天后的灯心草对总氮、总磷、氨氮和化学耗氧量的吸收率分别为89.30%、83.11%、83.41%和78.56%,但水田芥和轮藻的净化效果相对较差。

Mineral composition of Phragmites australis in Scottish lochs as related to eutrophication. I. Seasonal changes in organs

Monthly levels of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, calcium, magnesium and iron in the organs (root, rhizome, stem, leaf and panicle) of Phragmites australis were determined from March to November, 1975 in Forfar Loch (polytrophic), Balgavies Loch (eutrophic) and Loch of the Lowes (mesotrophic), Scotland. Generally no consistent seasonal changes in the mineral levels were detected for the root, rhizome and panicle. For the stem and leaf, the levels of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium and magnesium rose to a peak before declining for the rest of the season. Consistently higher levels of tissue nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and calcium were found in the Forfar plants over those of Balgavies and Lowes, reflecting the very eutrophic condition in Forfar Loch. The mineral compositions in the reeds in the present study were compared with similar studies in other areas.     

Influence of simulated climate change and eutrophication on three‐spined stickleback populations: a large scale mesocosm experiment

1. Shallow lakes and their ectothermic inhabitants are particularly vulnerable to the effects of climatic warming. These impacts are likely to depend on nutrient loading, especially if the combination of warming and eutrophication leads to severe hypoxia. 2. To investigate effects of realistic warming and nutrient loading on a fish species with high tolerance of warming and hypoxia, we observed population changes and timing of reproduction of three‐spined sticklebacks in 24 outdoor shallow freshwater ecosystems with combinations of temperature (ambient and ambient +4 °C) and three nutrient treatments over 16 months. 3. Warming reduced stickleback population biomass by 60% (population size by 76%) and nutrient‐addition reduced biomass by about 80% (population size 95%). Nutrients and warming together resulted in extinction of the stickleback populations. These losses were mainly attributed to the increased likelihood of severe hypoxia in heated and nutrient‐addition mesocosms. 4. Warming of nutrient‐rich waters can thus have dire consequences for freshwater ectotherm populations. The loss even of a hardy fish suggests a precarious future for many less tolerant species in such eutrophic systems under current climate change predictions.     

Phosphorus eutrophication in the SW Frisian lake district 2. Phosphorus balances and simulation of reduction scenarios

The lakes and interconnecting canals in the S.W. Frisian lake district are highly eutrophic. In the mid-1980's a project on eutrophication and lake restoration research was started. This project was aimed at modelling water transport and phosphorus (P) dynamics and at simulating management scenarios. A simple dynamic P-balance model was used to calculate total phosphorus (TP) balances and to simulate three TP reduction scenarios in each of three lakes: Tjeukemeer, Groote Brekken and Slotermeer. The model covered three periods in 1985, 1986 and 1987. The external loads to Tjeukemeer were highest, moderate to Groote Brekken, and lowest to Slotermeer. The major P sources in the area were discharges from the surrounding polders, used mainly for agriculture, and from IJsselmeer.Despite a 75% TP-reduction in water from the surrounding polders the 0.07 mg l^–1 target level could be reached only occasionally in Tjeukemeer, while in the other two lakes this level was not even approached. The effect of a 75% reduction in water from IJsselmeer was greatest in Groote Brekken (but again approached the target only occasionally), moderate in Tjeukemeer and least in Slotermeer. The simulations showed that only a 75% reduction in both external loads (from polders and from IJsselmeer) will lead to achieving the target level in Tjeukemeer and Groote Brekken during the summer periods. In Slotermeer, a relatively isolated lake, other measures are necessary to reach the target level. The results are confirmed by an approximate theoretical analysis of the effects of load reduction.     

Reproductive strategies and isolation‐by‐demography in a marine clonal plant along an eutrophication gradient

Genetic diversity in clonal organisms includes two distinct components, (i) the diversity of genotypes or clones (i.e. genotypic richness) in a population and (ii) that of the alleles (i.e. allelic and gene diversity within populations, and differentiation between populations). We investigated how population differentiation and genotypic components are associated across a gradient of eutrophication in a clonal marine plant. To that end, we combined direct measurements of sexual allocation (i.e. flower and seed counts) and genotypic analyses, which are used as an estimator of effective sexual reproduction across multiple generations. Genetic differentiation across sites was also modelled according to a hypothesis here defined as isolation‐by‐demography, in which we use population‐specific factors, genotypic richness and eutrophication that are hypothesized to affect the source‐sink dynamics and thus influence the genetic differentiation between a pair of populations. Eutrophic populations exhibited lower genotypic richness, in agreement with lower direct measurements of sexual allocation and contemporaneous gene flow. Genetic differentiation, while not explained by distance, was best predicted by genotypic richness and habitat quality. A multiple regression model using these two predictors was considered the best model (R² = 0.43). In this study, the relationship between environment and effective sexual–asexual balance is not simply (linearly) predicted by direct measurements of sexual allocation. Our results indicate that population‐specific factors and the isolation‐by‐demography model should be used more often to understand genetic differentiation.     

Importance of flood zones for nitrogen and phosphorus dynamics in the Danube Delta

The change of concentration of total reactive phosphorus (TRP) and dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) was studied in the lower Danube river and in selected lakes situated in the wetland area of the Danube Delta. The differences Danube Delta in nutrient concentration in the river waters entering the delta and the delta in different sites (especially lakes) of the wetland area are considered to reflect retention in the system. The highest retention was found in periods of moderate and low water level when the surface-to-volume ratio of the lakes was high. In these periods the in-lake concentration of TRP and DIN could be as low as 11 and 23% of the values found in the inflowing river.
