水体铜污染对苦草生长及叶绿素荧光特性的影响

该文以苦草(Vallisneria natans)为材料,研究了不同浓度铜污染水体对其叶/根长、生物量、光合色素含量、体内重金属含量及叶绿素荧光参数的影响。结果表明:随着水体铜浓度的增加,苦草的叶长、根长、生物量均显著下降;光合色素含量逐渐下降,其中叶绿素a比叶绿素b下降明显,类胡萝卜素下降幅度最小;叶片铜含量随铜浓度的增加显著上升(P0.05),各处理组根铜含量没有显著性差异,在水中铜低于0.5mg·L-1的环境中苦草具有正常的光合活性。除0.5 mg·L-1处理组外,最大荧光(Fm)、最大光化学效率(Fv/Fm)、潜在光化学效率(Fv/Fo)、光化学淬灭系数(qP)与有效量子产量[Y(Ⅱ)]均比对照组显著降低(P0.05),而非光化学淬灭效率(qN)、调节性能量耗散的量子产量[Y(NPQ)]、非调节性能量耗散的量子产量[Y(NO)]均呈上升趋势,其中Fv/Fo对铜污染反应最为灵敏。综合各参数变化情况,随着水体铜浓度的增加,苦草生长受到抑制,叶片利用光能的效率下降,PSⅡ反应中心的电子传递受到明显的抑制;苦草通过自身调节以热的形式将过剩光能耗散,以减轻PSⅡ反应中心受伤害的程度;苦草是铜超富集植物,其可作为低浓度铜污染水体生态修复的备选物种。     

几种常见沉水植物对砷富集的研究进展

常见的沉水植物(苦草、狐尾藻、金鱼藻、黑藻)对水体中的砷(As)有着较强的富集能力,研究沉水植物对As的富集特征对利用沉水植物控制水体As污染及保护人体健康有着重要意义。沉水植物对As的富集能力与水环境中As的浓度、形态、共存离子如磷酸盐、Zn离子等因素相关,其对As的耐受性及富集能力可以通过合适的化学、生物方法得到增强,从而提高沉水植物对含As污水的修复能力。但由于植物基因多样性及水环境因素复杂性,沉水植物对As的运输和解毒机制,以及沉水植物后期的处理和管理技术,仍是今后该领域需要重点关注的问题。     

正交试验法分析环境因子对苦草生长的影响

苦草(Vallisneria natans),是我国长江中下游淡水水体中常见的沉水植物种类。通过室内模拟正交试验的方法,研究不同光照强度、温度和总氮浓度(3光照×3温度×3总氮浓度)对苦草生长的影响。结果表明:(1)苦草在5320lx光照强度、10℃、2—4mg/L水体总氮浓度的条件下生长良好。实验所设100%(12000lx)和50%(5320lx)光照条件下苦草均可正常生长;但对于30℃的高温胁迫耐受性较差;苦草在总氮浓度为4mg/L的水体中各生长指标达到最大值,2mg/L或8mg/L的总氮浓度均会抑制其生长。(2)5320lx的光照强度和10℃的温度对苦草光合色素的合成较为有利;而单纯总氮浓度的变化对苦草光合色素的合成影响不大。(3)苦草的生理活性在高于12000lx或低于1025lx的光强、高于30℃的温度以及8mg/L的总氮浓度下均会受到一定程度的抑制。(4)方差分析结果显示,苦草生长发育的过程中,光照强度和温度是主效环境因子;上述3个环境因子对苦草光合色素的合成均有极显著的影响,并且光强与温度的交互作用对其也有显著影响;光照强度、温度以及这两个环境因子的交互作用为影响苦草生理活性的主效因子。苦草作为不能形成冠层的基生叶莲座型沉水植物,对光强要求不高,对低温的耐受性较好,但较不耐高营养盐浓度,因此,在得到一定修复的富营养化水体中,可以作为秋、冬季水生植物恢复和重建的关键物种。     

不同水体营养条件对刺苦草和密刺苦草生长的影响

以贡湖水体营养盐水平现状[ρ(TN)0.4~4 mg·L-1、ρ(TP)0.04~0.4 mg·L-1]为依据,研究不同梯度营养盐水体对刺苦草(Vallisneria spinulosa)与密刺苦草(V.denseserrulata)生长及生理的影响,探讨同属沉水植物对不同营养水体的响应差异。结果表明:水体营养条件对两种沉水植物的生物量累积没有显著影响;处理组刺苦草的最大株高分别增加了19%(P0.05)、63%(P0.05)、205%(P0.01),密刺苦草高浓度中植株最大株高与低浓度差异显著(P0.05);刺苦草与密刺苦草在高浓度水体中的克隆繁殖能力分别下降了30%和20%;低浓度水体中刺苦草与密刺苦草叶片丙二醛含量增加(P0.05),叶绿素含量减少(P0.05),表明其受到养分胁迫;在ρ(TN)1.5~4 mg·L-1、ρ(TP)0.15~0.4 mg·L-1范围内,两种苦草表现出较强适应性。     

重金属胁迫条件下空心莲子草的生长和营养特征分析

空心莲子草是一种常见的水生植物,并能在重金属污染的水体或附近土壤中生长.本研究发现,空心莲子草能富集6种常见的重金属元素,其富集能力为:Zn2+>Mn2+>Pb2+>Cu2+>Cd2+>Cr3+.高浓度(1 mmol/L) Cu2+、Mn2+、Zn2+和Cr3+ 等重金属胁迫处理条件下,空心莲子草的根冠比增加,生物干重、总根长和总根表面积都相应降低.此外,高浓度(1 mmol/L) Pb2+、Cd2+、Cu2+或Zn2+分别胁迫处理条件下,空心莲子草的K+、Ca+和Mg+等元素的含量变化差异显著(P＜0.05).以上研究表明,空心莲子草通过改变体内钾钙镁等重要生长元素营养情况来适应重金属污染的胁迫,有很强的富集重金属元素的能力,进而降低污染、净化水体.空心莲子草对重金属污染的生长响应及体内重要矿物元素营养特性之间的相互关系,可能为重金属污染的水土生物修复提供理论依据.     

弱光照和富营养对苦草生长的影响

本研究通过比较在不同光照和营养(3光照×3营养)水平下栽培的沉水植物苦草(Vallisneria natans L.)的生长及生化指标,探讨了富营养水体中弱光和高营养对苦草生长的影响.结果表明:弱光对苦草生长的抑制作用不受外源营养浓度的影响;而高营养对苦草生长的影响受到弱光胁迫程度的交互作用,表现为在光照较强的45%日光下为抑制作用,光照最弱的2.5%日光下为促进作用,在光强居间的10%日光下没有明显作用.植物组织总氮、总磷、氨态氮及游离氨基酸氮含量随光照减弱而增加,而可溶性总糖和淀粉含量减少;总磷、氨态氮、游离氨基酸氮及淀粉含量随营养增加而增加.因此弱光照和过高营养均对苦草生长产生明显抑制作用,两者具有交互作用,主要表现为弱光影响了高营养的抑制作用.在本研究中,高营养对苦草生长有抑制作用,但尚不能导致铵中毒或储存碳缺乏;可能由于10%和2.5%日光下,弱光胁迫对苦草的代谢已产生很大抑制作用,限制了高营养对苦草的抑制作用.     

沉水植物菹草对富营养化水体中TN 生态效应及模型研究

通过室内模拟构建水体营养盐和菹草生物量正交试验, 研究菹草从石芽萌发至菹草植株衰亡腐烂整个生命周期中, 对水体中TN 的生态效应, 并以此为依据建立菹草对富营养化水体生态效应模型。研究表明: 在不同生物量菹草作用下, 富营养化水体中TN 含量是先下降后上升的一个周期式过程; 在相同营养水平条件下, 菹草对TN 的吸收量随菹草生物量的增大而依次递增, 而在相同生物量的前提下, 菹草对TN 的修复力存在一个最佳营养水平范围, 即13.95-20.56 mg·L–1 之间; 菹草对富营养化水体生态效应模型分两部分: 菹草对富营养化水体中TN 与时间关系模型以及菹草生态修复水体TN 限度理论模型, 通过这两个模型的构建可以为生产实践中菹草在生态修复富营养化水体的投放量和菹草的最佳收割时间提供有力依据, 为工程实践提供有效保障。     

潜水式生态介质箱对黑臭水体的修复效果

生态浮床作为一种常规治理技术得到了广泛使用,但其只能修复表层富氧水体,对下层缺氧水体的修复能力有限.本研究针对实际黑臭水体的修复需要,设计了潜水式生态介质箱(潜水组),并以传统的生态浮床(浮床组)为对照进行对比试验,研究修复前后黑臭水体的水质变化,考察了水生植物的生长状况及N、P积累能力.结果表明:随着修复时间的延长,两组处理对各污染物的去除率均逐渐升高,其中潜水组去除全氮(TN)、铵氮(NH4^+-N)、全磷(TP)的能力优于浮床组,但其去除化学需氧量(CODMn)的能力稍逊;潜水组植物(苦草)的生长状况优于浮床组植物(菖蒲),且苦草对水体中TN、TP的吸收积累能力和去除贡献率均优于菖蒲;此外,苦草的质膜透性、丙二醛和叶绿素含量均低于菖蒲,说明苦草更适于在黑臭水体中生长,该潜水式生态介质箱是新型的一体化原位修复装置,更适用于黑臭水体的修复实践.     

芘对苦草的生物毒性效应

通过静态模拟实验,研究了不同浓度(0.01、0.02、0.05、0.07和0.1 mg·L^-1)芘暴露10 d后,芘在苦草中的富集,以及芘对苦草茎叶中自由基含量、抗氧化系统以及叶绿素、可溶性糖等的影响.结果表明: 芘能够大量富集在苦草叶部;自由基信号强度、过氧化物酶(POD)活性和脂质过氧化产物丙二醛(MDA)含量持续升高;当污染加重时,这种升高现象有减弱的趋势,且三者有较好的相关性;谷胱甘肽S转移酶(GST)活性和氧化型谷胱甘肽(GSSG)含量持续增加,而还原型谷胱甘肽(GSH)含量持续降低;随着芘浓度的增加,叶绿素含量降低,而可溶性糖含量升高.苦草对芘暴露比较敏感,0.01 mg·L^-1即已显示胁迫效应.     

镉在土壤-香根草系统中的迁移及转化特征

以无植物组处理为对照,采用盆栽试验方式探讨不同Cd浓度胁迫条件下香根草根际土壤中重金属Cd的积累、迁移及转化特征。土壤Cd处理设4个浓度梯度,分别为0、2、20、80 mg/kg土壤干重。结果表明:(1)香根草可以显著降低土壤中生物有效态Cd和总Cd含量。(2)香根草各部分Cd积累量随处理浓度的增加和处理时间的延长而增加,90 d时80 mg/kg处理组地上部分和根的Cd积累量分别高达180.42 mg/kg和241.54 mg/kg。(3)各浓度Cd处理下,富集系数随着Cd处理浓度的增加而显著降低,随处理时间的延长而升高。(4)香根草地上部分Cd含量小于根部,各处理转移系数均小于1。随着处理时间的延长,中低浓度处理组的转移系数稍有降低,高浓度处理组的转移系数则显著上升。(5)种植香根草使其根际土中残渣态的Cd转化为生物有效态Cd,提高Cd清除效率。研究结果表明,香根草能够有效地吸收土壤中的Cd,降低土壤中总Cd含量,提高土壤安全性,可作为Cd污染地区植物修复的备选物种。     

Opportunities for Phytoremediation and Bioindication of Arsenic Contaminated Water Using a Submerged Aquatic Plant:Vallisneria natans (lour.) Hara.

The identification of plants with high arsenic hyperaccumulating efficiency from water is required to ensure the successful application of phytoremediation technology. Five dominant submerged plant species (Vallisneria natans (Lour.) Hara., Potamageton crispus L., Myriophyllum spicatum L., Ceratophyllum demersum L. and Hydrilla verticillata (L.f.) Royle) in China were used to determine their potential to remove As from contaminated water. V. natans had the highest accumulation of As among them. The characteristics of As accumulation, transformation and the effect of phosphate on As accumulation in V. natans were then further studied. The growth of V. natans was not inhibited even when the As concentration reached 2.0 mg L^?1. After 21 d of As treatment, the bioconcentration factor (BCF) reached 1300. The As concentration in the environment and exposure time are major factors controlling the As concentration in V. natans. After being absorbed, As(V) is efficiently reduced to As(III) in plants. The synthesis of non-enzymic antioxidants may play an important role under As stress and increase As detoxication. In addition, As(V) uptake by V. natans was negatively correlated with phosphate (P) uptake when P was sufficiently supplied. As(V) is probably taken up via P transporters in V. natans.     

两种沉水植物对间隙水磷浓度的影响

为研究两种根系特征的沉水植物在生长过程中对间隙水中磷浓度的影响,选取根系较多的沉水植物苦草和根系相对较少的沉水植物黑藻作为实验材料,监测底泥中间隙水各形态磷含量及环境因子的变化,探讨不同根系特征沉水植物对间隙水中磷的影响。结果表明:黑藻和苦草实验组沉积物间隙水中各形态磷的浓度均呈不同程度的降低,黑藻和苦草对于稳定水质,减少底泥中磷向水中转移具有明显的效果;沉水植物不同,底泥间隙水中溶解性总磷(DTP)和溶解性活性磷(SRP)存在明显差异。实验结束时黑藻组和苦草组间隙水中DTP的浓度分别为0.24,0.01 mg/L,SRP的浓度分别为0.22 mg/L,0.004 mg/L。间隙水中磷的形态主要以DTP和SRP为主,溶解性有机磷(DOP)的含量相对较低。沉水植物对间隙水中磷的吸收是降低间隙水中磷含量的重要原因,苦草的吸收能力大于黑藻。沉水植物根系通过降低底泥p H值,提高氧化还原电位(Eh)的方式抑制了底泥中磷的释放。     

Hormonal Correlates of Seedling Growth of Two Vallisneria Species Grown at Different Current Velocities

Seedling survival and growth of two common Vallisneria species in China, Vallisneria natans and Vallisneria spinulosa were quantified experimentally for current velocities from 0 to 40 mm/s. At the same time, changes in the concentrations of three hormones (IAA, ZR, and GA₃) in the leaves were compared to identify how current velocity influenced the two Vallisneria seedlings growth discrepantly. All plants survived in all treatments and showed positive growth. The most rapid growth for both species was found at the velocity of 10 mm/s. Although V. spinulosa showed faster growth than V. natans at the beginning of the experiment, there was no significant difference on final biomass. Higher IAA and ZR contents were measured in seedlings of both species grown under low current velocity. The time reaching the maximum for IAA and ZR was just around the time of a maximum seedling growth rate. IAA and ZR contents were positively correlated with growth rate. However, GA₃ was negatively associated with growth rate and more GA₃ in V. natans seedlings was induced by high current velocity.     

不同光照强度下物种组合对沉水植物苦草种间关系的影响

为了解种间关系对沉水植物群落结构的影响，在不同光照(20%自然光和50%自然光)和不同物种组合下，研究了长江中下游常见优势沉水植物苦草(Vallisneria natans)与黑藻(Hydrilla verticillata)和穗状狐尾藻(Myriophyllum spicatum)的相互作用。结果表明，在低光下，苦草与穗状狐尾藻混种时，苦草生物量、株高和叶数均没有明显变化，当穗状狐尾藻的比例较高时，苦草根长生长受到抑制，根叶比呈下降趋势；在高光下，穗状狐尾藻比例的增加会促进苦草单株生物量和叶生物量的增加，而对苦草株高、根长和叶数无显著影响；与黑藻混种相比，苦草与穗状狐尾藻混种时，苦草的株高、根长和叶数均无显著差异，而苦草的单株生物量和叶生物量均呈降低趋势。因此，物种组合和混种比例均会影响苦草与其他物种的相互作用关系，进而影响沉水植被的群落动态。     

Biomass allocation and nutrient use in fast-growing woody and herbaceous perennials used for phytoremediation

This study assessed the suitability of two deciduous woody perennials (Salix spp. and Populus spp.) and two summer green herbaceous perennials (Phragmites australis and Urtica dioica) for purification of nutrient enriched wastewater. The main hypothesis tested was that species with a particular trait combination of high relative growth rate (RGR), low nutrient productivity (A) and high mean residence time (MRT) of nutrients would be most effective in accumulating nutrients. The nitrogen and phosphorus use efficiency at the whole plant level was analysed. Four treatments comprising two possible phytoremediation substrates (municipal wastewater and landfill leachate) and two control plant nutrition situations (balanced nutrient solution and pure water) were applied in four replications to the four plant species. Generally, all four species studied showed a high RGR and a low P productivity in the balanced nutrient solution treatment, while the opposite (low RGR and high P productivity) was seen in the phytoremediation substrate and pure water treatments. The general conclusion is that if P is present in marginal proportions in the wastewater, a vegetation filter with Phragmites would have an advantage since biomass and nutrient accumulation in Phragmites does not decrease as much during phytoremediation as that in deciduous woody perennials.     

Differential effects of water depth and sediment type on clonal growth of the submersed macrophyte <Emphasis Type="Italic">Vallisneria natans</Emphasis>

The response of clonal growth and ramet morphology to water depth (from 60 to 260 cm) and sediment type (sand versus organic clay) was investigated for the stoloniferous submersed macrophyte Vallisneria natans in an outdoor pond experiment. Results showed that water depth significantly affected clonal growth of V. natans in terms of clone weight, number of ramets, number of generations, clonal radius and stolon length. V. natans showed an optimal clonal growth at water depths of 110–160 cm, but at greater depths clonal growth was severely retarded. A high allometric effect was exhibited in ramet morphology. Along the sequentially produced ramet generations, ramet weight and plant height decreased while stolon length and the root:leaf weight ratio increased. When using ramet generations as covariate, sediment type rather than water depth more strongly affected the ramet characteristics. For plants grown in clay, ramet weight, ramet height and stolon length were greater, and plants exhibited lower root:leaf weight ratio. These data suggest that water depth and sediment type have differential effects on clonal growth of V. natans: Water depth appears primarily to affect numerical increase in ramets and spatial spread, whereas sediment type mainly affects biomass accumulation and biomass allocation.

Resource allocation in the submerged plant Vallisneria natans related to sediment type, rather than water-column nutrients

1. Phenotypic plasticity in resource allocation by Vallisneria natans was investigated in a greenhouse experiment, using three types of sediment [sandy loam, clay, and a 50 : 50 (by volume) mixture of the two sediments] and two levels of water‐column nutrient. The clay was collected from a highly eutrophic lake in Jiangsu Province, China, and the N and P concentrations applied in nutrient media were at the upper limits observed in most lakes of China. 2. Growth and biomass allocation were significantly affected by sediment type, rather than water‐column nutrients. Plant growth in clay and the mixture were similar, and 2.4–3.4 times higher than that in sandy loam. Compared with the plants grown in clay or the mixed sediments, the plants grown in sandy loam allocated relatively more biomass to root (11–17% versus 7–8% of total biomass), and relatively less to leaf (76–82% versus 86–87% of total biomass). Plastic variations in root area were induced by sediment type alone (P < 0.05), whereas the impacts of sediment type and water‐column nutrients on leaf area were insignificant (P > 0.05). 3. Plant N and P concentrations were significantly affected by both sediment type and water‐column nutrients. Increased nutrient availability in the water column enhanced plant N concentration by 3.5–20.2%, and plant P concentration by 19.1–25.8%. 4. Biomass accumulation and plant nutrient concentration in plants grown in different sediment types and water‐column nutrients indicate that sediment type had more significant impacts on growth and N and P concentrations of V. natans than did water‐column nutrients. Changes in phenotype are a functional response to nutrient availability in sediment, rather than to water‐column nutrients.     

水淹生境下秋华柳对镉污染土壤研究修复能力

以耐水淹和耐重金属的秋华柳（Salix variegata）作为试验材料,从土壤角度出发,探究秋华柳在水淹条件下对镉污染土壤的修复能力。设置无植物和种植秋华柳两个处理组,分别对两组设置两个水分处理组：正常供水组（CK）及土壤水淹组（FL）,4个镉浓度处理组：对照组（0 mg/kg）、低浓度（0.5 mg/kg）、中浓度（2 mg/kg）及高浓度（10 mg/kg）。分别于处理后的第30天和第60天对各处理组的土壤和水淹组水样进行取样。试验结果表明：（1）镉处理浓度越高,土壤中镉活性态浓度越高,生物毒性越强。（2）水淹显著降低土壤活性态Cd浓度（P < 0.05）,增大土壤修复难度。（3）种植秋华柳对30d土壤Cd全量及各形态镉浓度均无显著影响（P > 0.05）;对第60天正常供水和水淹组土壤中交换态、碳酸盐结合态的镉浓度以及60d水淹组土壤Cd全量均有显著影响（P < 0.05）。（4）秋华柳种植显著降低土壤Cd迁移系数,30d正常供水组、水淹组以及60d正常供水组和水淹组平均降幅分别为2.0%、4.12%、9.71%、9.32%。处理时间过短和试验用苗生物量小可能是秋华柳对土壤全量Cd影响不大的主要原因,但秋华柳均显著降低正常供水和水淹组土壤迁移系数且二组降幅差异不大。研究表明：水淹生境下,秋华柳对Cd污染的土壤仍有较好的修复能力。
