Vertical Distribution of Chlorophyll in the Upper Volga Reservoirs

The vertical distribution of phytoplankton (chlorophyll a, CHL) was investigated in August 2015 at 25 sampling stations in the Ivankovo, Uglich, and Rybinsk reservoirs (Upper Volga, Russia) using a bbe Moldaenke Fluoroprob submersible fluorimeter. Three types of CHL vertical distribution were identified under homothermy. There was a gradual CHL decline in the water column at the upper part of reservoirs; a sharp decline at a certain depth in most riverine sections; and uniform distribution opposite the mouth of a small river (the Kashinka River, Uglich Reservoir), as well as at the open lacustrine sites of the Rybinsk Reservoir under wind-driven mixing. The average CHL content in the euphotic layer at the stations of three groups were 25.0 ± 6.3, 44.1 ± 4.0, and 20.8 ± 2.9 μg/L, respectively; the CHL contributions to the PAR absorption were 47 ± 9%, 66 ± 4%, and 38 ± 6%. Under thermal stratification the vertical distribution of CHL corresponds to the course of the temperature dynamics (r = 0.85).     

International environmental implications of Soviet development of the Volga River

Hydrologic alteration of major rivers has the potential for environmental damage on an international scale. Soviet regulation of the Volga River is a case in point. Iran, bordering on the Caspian Sea to which the Volga is tributary, has been harmed by changes in the sea's physical and biological character which are partially attributable to Soviet modification of the Volga's natural flow regime. Soviet plans for southward diversion of flow from the European Arctic and Siberia, partially intended to alleviate the Caspian problem, could pose an even more serious international hazard. Possible adverse consequences range from further imperiling the survival of the Atlantic salmon to hemispheric, perhaps even global, climatic changes. The already apparent consequences of Volga development and possible future ramifications of related diversion measures emphasize the need for caution as well as international cooperation and consultation in planning the alteration of major river basins.     

Covariance Analysis of Chlorophyll Distribution in the Sundays River Estuary,Eastern Cape

Summary

An analysis of covariance performed on chlorophyll a distribution data from the Sundays River estuary identified five persistent water masses with significantly different chlorophyll a contents. These corresponded to different hydrodynamic regions within the estuary. The relationship between salinity and chlorophyll a was used to identify a transition zone between the low-salinity upper estuary and the brackish riverine inflow. Chlorophyll a concentrations ranged from <6 μg 1^?1 near the mouth to >100 μg 1^?1 in the middle and upper reaches. High variance of chlorophyll a data in this region was the result of temporal chlorophyll a fluctuations in two time scales. The first related to the daily ebb/tide and the second to the lunar spring/neap tidal cycle. Unlike its importance in larger and deeper estuaries, light played only a minor role in the horizontal distribution of chlorophyll a. The presence of a chlorophyll a maximum in the turbid low salinity region is explained in terms of the relatively constant photic depth/mixed depth ratio along the estuary and the high residence time of water in this region.     

Modelling of the Genetic Composition of Water Masses in Two Valley Reservoirs in the Volga Basin

The theoretical basis, assumptions and algorithms of the one-dimensional model CWMVR (Composition of Water Masses in Valley Reservoirs) are given. This model is intended for a diagnosis and forecast of the genetic composition of the river water masses and the main water mass of a reservoir in different seasons of wet or dry years. The results of the calculations of the water masses regime in the Mozhayskoye and Cheboksarskoye reservoirs are given using the hydrometric and chemical investigation in 1984. The errors of the model are estimated by comparison of the computed and measured values of conservative parameters of water quality in the quasi-synchronous surveys of these reservoirs in 1972 and in 1983-1985. A satisfactory graphical and statistical similarity (0.55 ≤ S/σ ≤ 0.66) among them is shown. The reasons of the largest errors of modelling and the ways of development of this model are discussed.     

观赏山楂耐热性及其叶片光合与叶绿素荧光特性研究

以引自国内外的15种观赏山楂苗木为材料,于上海夏季自然高温下对其叶片光合气体交换参数及叶绿素荧光参数进行测定,并观察它们的田间耐热性,以揭示其耐热的光合生理机制.结果显示,4种山楂表现出较强耐热性,6种较耐热,而5种耐热性较差;15种山楂叶片净光合速率(P_n)、蒸腾速率(T_r)、气孔导度(G_s)、瞬时水分利用效率(WUE)的种间差异显著(P<0.05),且耐热性强的品种P_n、T_r、G_s、WUE值较高,高温下能够维持较高的光合固碳水平;各品种山楂叶片的PSⅡ最大光能转换效率F_v/F_m、电子传递效率ΦPSⅡ和光能捕获效率F_v'/F_m'差异显著,耐热性强品种F_v/F_m保持在0.8以上,且ΦPSⅡ值与F_v'/F_m'较高.研究表明,观赏山楂主要通过加大气孔蒸腾散热、降低叶表面温度以及维持较高光能电子传递与转化效率来减轻高温对光合机构伤害,以维持植株正常光合作用;山楂叶片PSⅡ原初光能转换效率及潜在活性与其耐热性密切相关,F_v/F_m值可作为山楂耐热性鉴定指标.     

黄河干流河岸带C4植物群落特征及其对水库生态效应的指示

于2008年9月16日至10月31日对黄河干流河岸带植物群落开展了系统调查。共采集高等植物124种,分属于32科、97属,其中C4植物9科、24属、34种,占科、属、种总数的28%、25%和27%。对该区域的研究结果还表明：（1）C4植物主要分布于单子叶植物纲的禾本科和莎草科,两者共占C4植物总种数的61%。（2）从上游到下游C4植物种数递增,但中游C4/C3比、C4植物密度和生物量要明显高于上游和下游。（3）C4植物种数及C4/C3比与海拔、年均气温、年均降水量及年均流量均有相关关系,C4植物生物量仅和年均降水量显著相关。（4）水库位置的C4/C3比要明显高于其临近样区,说明C4植物对水库干扰下河岸带植被的动态变化具有一定的指示作用。     

汉江中下游水文特点与渔业资源状况

通过对汉江中下游水文特点和渔业资源状况的研究,分析了该区域水文与饵料生物、渔业资源的关系。结果表明:汉江中下游中段的水文变化趋势适宜于产漂流性卵鱼类的繁殖;由于水文状况,汉江中下游的鱼类生长与繁殖季节晚于长江干流;4—6月的水文状况适宜下游江段饵料生物的生长;汉江中下游的饵料生物丰富,为鱼类的生长与繁殖提供了良好条件;汉江下游主要经济鱼类年龄组成简单,种群中以小型鱼类为主。     

Range expansion of quagga mussels Dreissena rostriformis bugensis in the Volga River and Caspian Sea basin

In 1992, we discovered populations of the nonindigenous quagga mussel Dreissena rostriformis bugensis in the middle reaches of the Volga River. The same species was found in samples collected between 1994 and 1997 in the Volga delta and in shallow areas of the Northern Caspian Sea. D. r. bugensis always co-occurred with its more widespread congener, the zebra mussel D. polymorpha (Pallas 1771). The quagga mussel's contribution to total Dreissena abundance increased over time in the middle Volga reservoirs and Volga River delta. D. r. bugensis was common in the Volga portion of Rybinsk Reservoir during 1997 and, by 2000, it was in Uglich, Rybinsk and Gorky Reservoirs on the Upper Volga River. D. r. bugensis was neither found in Ivankov Reservoir, nor in terminal sections of the Volga-Baltic corridor including the eastern Gulf of Finland. Presently, all but the northern-most regions of the Volga River have been colonized by D. r. bugensis. We hypothesize that its introduction into the Volga River and Caspian basin occurred no later than the late 1980s via commercial shipping that utilized the Volga-Don waterway to navigate between the source Black-Azov Sea region and recipient areas on the Volga River. Larval drift likely contributed to establishment of populations at downstream sites, while human-mediated vectors may be responsible for introductions to upstream locations on the Volga River. We anticipate continued northward dispersal in conjunction with shipping activities.     

NaCl胁迫下交替呼吸途径对叶绿素含量及其荧光特性的影响

以菜豆幼苗作为试验材料,分析了NaCl胁迫下交替呼吸对叶绿素含量以及叶绿素荧光特性变化特征的影响,以探讨交替呼吸途径在逆境下的生理学作用以及植物在盐胁迫下光系统Ⅱ(PSⅡ)的调节作用机制。结果表明:(1)随着NaCl胁迫浓度(0、100、200、300mmol/L)的增高,菜豆幼苗叶片叶绿素含量显著下降,叶片光系统Ⅱ(PSⅡ)潜在最大光化学量子效率(Fv/Fm)、光适应下最大光化学效率(Fv′/Fm′)、PSⅡ光适应下实际光化学效率[Y(Ⅱ)]和光化学荧光猝灭(qP)与对照相比均显著性下降,而非光化学猝灭(NPQ)较对照组显著增加,同时交替呼吸容量在NaCl胁迫下也显著上升。(2)与单独NaCl胁迫相比,在NaCl胁迫下施加交替呼吸的抑制剂水杨基氧肟酸(SHAM)会导致菜豆幼苗叶片叶绿素含量、Fv/Fm、Fv′/Fm′、Y(Ⅱ)和qP进一步显著下降、NPQ进一步显著增加。研究认为,NaCl胁迫导致菜豆叶片光系统Ⅱ光化学效率下降和光能耗散增加,交替呼吸途径可有效缓解NaCl胁迫下菜豆叶绿素含量的减少以及光系统Ⅱ光化学反应效率的下降。     

水文变异下长江荆南三口河道内生态需水量变化及贡献因素

基于1951—2015年长江荆南三口5站实测原型年径流量序列,采用Mann-Kendall等方法检测其径流序列的突变年份.在此基础上,运用GEV概率密度最大流量法计算荆南三口河道内生态需水量,并从多时空尺度视角分析河道内生态需水量的时空差异及其贡献因素.结果表明: 研究期间,新江口、沙道观、康家岗、管家铺和弥陀寺水文站的第一次径流突变年份分别为1990、1959、1959、1972和1972年,并将第一次突变以前的月均流量序列作为水文变异前的水文序列.在水文变异条件下,长江荆南三口1—12月的各月生态需水量分别为69.63、26.15、55.65、452.65、2166.44、4660.83、10875.66、9966.49、7868.38、4773.60、1655.01和338.49 m³·s^-1.新江口、沙道观、康家岗、管家铺和弥陀寺5个水文站的年均生态需水量分别为901.57、507.00、221.30、1438.03和581.62 m³·s^-1.水文变异后,荆南三口满足河道内生态需水的频率大幅下降,由变异前的55%以上下降至变异后的20%以下,生态需水缺乏现象严重.影响荆南三口河道内生态需水时空变化的因素主要为不同时期水利工程、各行业用水量等人类活动.     

塔里木河下游多枝柽柳幼苗生长和光合生理指标对输水漫溢的响应特征

以塔里木河下游天然漫溢区多枝柽柳幼苗为研究对象,分析连续漫溢干扰下多枝柽柳幼苗生长和种群变化特征,以及不同漫溢强度下幼苗的光合特性。结果表明：（1）在连续2次较强输水漫溢的干扰下,多枝柽柳幼苗种群密度从2013年3月到2014年7月呈先增后降再增的趋势,而其冠面积、株高和基径则呈先降后增再降的趋势。（2）在第2次输水漫溢较弱的Ⅲ监测区,多枝柽柳幼苗种群密度呈先增加后逐渐降低的趋势,而其冠面积、株高和基径则呈先降低后逐渐增加的趋势。（3）随第2次输水漫溢量逐渐减弱,多枝柽柳幼苗叶片相对含水量呈先降后增的趋势,叶绿素含量、实际光化学量子产量（Φ_PSⅡ）、光化学猝灭系数（q_p）均呈逐渐降低的趋势,而非光化学猝灭系数（NPQ）呈逐渐增加的趋势,但潜在最大光化学量子效率（F_v/F_m）总体处于相对适宜的状态。研究认为,连续2次较强的输水漫溢条件虽能够使生长季期间漫溢区多枝柽柳幼苗种群得到更新,但同时也导致大量幼苗受淹死亡,从而使漫溢区的多枝柽柳幼苗种群不能形成一定的规模;建议采取强弱交替的方式进行生态输水,既能提高新发生幼苗的存活率,又能使幼苗稳定的生长。     

广东省典型水库浮游植物组成与分布特征

在２０００年的丰水期（６—７月份）和枯水期（１１—１２月份）分别对广东省１９个大中型水库的浮游植物进行采样调查。一共发现有７门８９属１４２种的藻类。其中绿藻８４种,硅藻２５种,蓝藻１９种,裸藻９种,甲藻和金藻各两种以及隐藻１种。水库的主要优势种为蓝藻或硅藻。藻类的细胞密度和叶绿素含量从水库上游到水库下游依次降低。丰水期的藻类丰度要高于枯水期。绝大多数水库在丰水期优势种为蓝藻,而在枯水期的优势种为硅藻。人为导致的水量增减会对季节性变化造成影响。从空间分布上看,每西和珠江三角洲地区主要优势种为蓝藻,而每东地区和东江、韩江流域的主要优势种为绿藻,北江流域的各种类组成比较均匀。     

水稻种衣剂对秧苗生理生化及叶绿素荧光参数的影响

以‘深两优5814’水稻种子为试验材料,用2.5%吡·咪、3%恶·咪、锐胜和适乐时分别包衣种子,测定水稻幼苗抗氧化酶活性、MDA含量、GSH含量、叶绿素含量和叶绿素荧光参数,探讨种衣剂对幼苗的胁迫机理,为种衣剂的安全高效应用提供理论依据。结果表明:(1)种衣剂能提高水稻幼苗的抗氧化酶活性,播种后14d,2.5%吡·咪和锐胜处理组叶片的SOD活性上升,3%恶·咪处理组叶片的POD活性上升;播种后22d,2.5%吡·咪和3%恶·咪处理组叶片的CAT活性上升;播种后26d,锐胜和适乐时处理组叶片的CAT活性上升;2.5%吡·咪和3%恶·咪显著提高了播种后22d叶片的MDA含量。4种种衣剂均能提升幼苗叶片GSH含量,并以3%恶·咪的提升效果最为明显。(2)4种种衣剂均能降低叶绿素含量,但随培养时间的延长叶片内叶绿素含量逐渐恢复到正常水平。(3)4种种衣剂对水稻叶片最大光化学效率φPo无显著影响,吸光性能指数PIABS值也未呈下降趋势,比活性参数ABS/CSM值随培养时间的延长出现下降趋势,其中以3%恶·咪处理组下降最为明显;同时,3%恶·咪处理组叶片的热耗散DIo/CSM值也显著高于对照。研究认为,各种衣剂对水稻幼苗生长造成了一定的胁迫,但水稻自身防御体系能有效缓解农药胁迫作用,种衣剂的使用处于安全水平,但3%恶·咪的胁迫较严重,使用效果较差。     

塔里木河下游阿拉干断面胡杨根系空间分布规律研究

采用根系质量、密度、消弱系数和表面积等指标对塔里木河下游主要建群种胡杨根系空间分布特征进行定量研究,并分析了胡杨根系分布与土壤含水率的关系,为塔里木河下游受损天然胡杨林恢复提供依据。研究表明:(1)细根分布频数占活根总数的比例最大,死根所占比例从表层到深层有逐渐递减的趋势。(2)单株胡杨根系密度分布不对称。随着水平距离的增加,细根根系长度呈现近长远短的特点,而根量的水平分布呈现近重远轻的特点,主要集中在100～200 cm范围内。(3)胡杨根系垂直分层明显,根量在垂直方向上呈两头小、中间大的梭形分布,根系消弱系数值较大。(4)在土层30～120 cm范围内,细根表面积分布与土壤含水率分布呈显著正相关。     

永定河流域大型底栖动物群落分布格局及其影响因子

人类干扰造成了全球河流生态系统的普遍退化。流域尺度的水生生物分布特征及其影响因素研究对于河流生态系统的保护与恢复具有重要意义。本研究以永定河流域大型底栖动物群落为研究对象,分别于2017年春季(3月)、夏季(7月)、秋季(11月)开展全流域尺度的大型底栖动物调查。研究表明: 永定河流域以摇蚊科为主,优势类群包括直突摇蚊属、摇蚊属、雕翅摇蚊属以及多足摇蚊属。聚类分析表明,大型底栖动物群落结构存在显著的空间差异性,按照群落相似性可分为2组: 组1主要包含桑干河和东洋河水系,以直突摇蚊为主要优势种;组2主要包含洋河、妫水河以及永定河干流部分河段,以雕翅摇蚊为主要优势种。单因素方差分析表明,组2生物量、Shannon指数、Margalef指数、Pielou均匀度指数以及物种丰富度均显著高于组1,指示了该区域内更好的生态状况。大型底栖动物的季节差异显著,夏季的密度、生物量和各多样性指数均显著低于春季和秋季。典范对应分析显示,影响永定河大型底栖动物空间分布的环境因子主要包括水温、铵氮、pH、溶解氧和总磷。从水文因子的角度,流量和流速与主要生物参数存在显著相关性。组2中流速和流量与大型底栖动物密度和EPT%存在显著的正相关关系,表明急流生境有利于EPT(蜉蝣目、襀翅目、毛翅目)敏感类群的生存;但流量和流速与多样性指数呈负相关关系,表明过高流量和流速的生境条件不利于大型底栖动物多样性的维持。总之,水环境因子、水文因子都显示出了对大型底栖动物群落结构和多样性特征的影响,表明永定河流域生态系统受到多类型人为活动的影响。减少水质污染、适度恢复部分河段的流量是永定河流域生态系统修复的重要环节。     

不同等级石漠化生境下石生苔藓叶绿素含量和叶绿素荧光参数研究

叶绿素含量和叶绿素荧光参数可以反映叶绿体状态及光合作用效率,可用于探讨植物对环境的适应能力和响应机制。选择贵州省毕节市撒拉溪石漠化治理示范区,研究了区内28个不同等级石漠化(无、潜在、轻度、中度、重度石漠化)样地中所采集的168份石生苔藓植物标本,探讨了其相对叶绿素含量(SPAD值)和叶绿素荧光参数对不同喀斯特石漠化生境的响应。结果表明：(1)石生苔藓SPAD值、叶绿素荧光参数受多种环境因子的综合影响,其中石漠化等级、大气温度、郁闭度、坡向的影响较为显著。(2)相较于低等级石漠化和阴坡生境,中高等级石漠化和阳坡的石生苔藓SPAD值和除非光化学淬灭系数(NPQ)和非调节性能量耗散(Ф_NO)之外的叶绿素荧光参数均降低,可能由于在石漠化生态系统逆向演替后期,石生苔藓植物的叶绿素含量降低,PSⅡ反应中心活性受到影响,PSⅡ电子传递受阻,植物体通过增加热耗散和启动非调节性机制进行自我保护。(3)3种优势石生苔藓植物中,穗枝赤齿藓(Erythrodontium julaceum)的SPAD值显著低于圆枝粗枝藓(Gollania tereticaulis)和密毛细羽藓(Cyrt...     

基于叶绿素荧光成像及荧光参数分布特征的叶片光合异质性定量分析

植物叶片光合作用具有高度的空间异质性,叶绿素荧光成像技术为叶片光合异质性的研究提供了便利,但叶片光合异质性的定量分析并没有得到广泛应用。本文利用Imaging PAM叶绿素荧光成像系统,获得中亚热带地区越冬期小叶榕(Ficus microcarpa)阳生叶和阴生叶的叶绿素荧光参数图像,并利用仪器的分析软件对其进行分析,定量比较了阳生叶和阴生叶的光合异质性特征。研究发现：越冬期小叶榕阳生叶的光合异质性和光抑制程度明显高于阴生叶,变异系数可作为光合异质性的定量指标。低温强光导致阳生叶坏死率(P_LN)达4.30%,并有53.30%的区域处于严重光抑制(0v/F_m<0.627),但仍有42.27%的区域仅为轻度光抑制(0.627≤F_v/F_m<0.800)。而低温弱光并未造成阴生叶坏死和严重光抑制。通过对光系统Ⅱ(PSⅡ)的实际光合效率(Y(Ⅱ))、调节性能量耗散的量子产额(Y(NPQ))和非调节性能量耗散的量子产额(Y(NO))荧光参数异质性的定量分析表明,阳生叶...     

Hydrological variability, organic matter supply and denitrification in the Garonne River ecosystem

1. Groundwater nitrate contamination has become a worldwide problem as increasing amounts of nitrogen fertilisers are used in agriculture. Alluvial groundwater is uniquely juxtaposed between soils and streams. Hydrological connections among these subsystems regulate nutrient cycling. 2. We measured denitrification using an in situ acetylene‐block assay in a nitrate‐contaminated portion of the Garonne River catchment along a gradient of surface water–ground water mixing during high (snowmelt) and low flow. 3. During high flow (mid‐April to early June) the water table rose an average of 35 cm and river water penetrated the subsurface to a great extent in monitoring wells. Denitrification rates averaged 5.40 μgN₂O L^?1 min^?1 during the high flow period, nearly double the average rate (2.91 μgN₂O L^?1 min^?1) measured during base flow. This was driven by a strong increase in denitrification in groundwater under native riparian vegetation. Nitrate concentrations were significantly lower during high flow compared with base flow. Riparian patches had higher dissolved organic carbon concentrations that were more aromatic compared with the gravel bar patch closest to the river. 4. Multiple linear regression showed that the rate of denitrification was best predicted by the concentration of low molecular weight organic acids. These molecules are probably derived from decomposition of soil organic matter and are an important energy source for anaerobic respiratory processes like denitrification. The second best predictor was per cent surface water, reflecting higher denitrification rates during spring when hydrological connection between surface water and ground water was greatest. 5. Our results indicate that, while denitrification rates in Garonne River alluvium were spatially and temporally variable, denitrification was a significant NO₃ sink during transport from the NO₃‐contaminated floodplain to the river. DOC availability and river–floodplain connectivity were important factors influencing observed spatial and temporal patterns.     

太浦河水体叶绿素a纵向演变特征及主要影响因子

叶绿素a作为重要的水质指标,可直观的描述水体的营养状态。在随水流输送过程中,受沿程环境条件的影响,水体叶绿素a浓度会发生相应改变。2017年11月-2018年10月,在东太湖及太浦河沿线设置了固定采样站点,开展了水体叶绿素a的月际取样调研与分析。结果表明：从东太湖至太浦河沿线叶绿素a浓度发生了明显的纵向演变,在东太湖叶绿素a浓度年平均为（15.341±2.329）μg/L,经过多个站点,到达金泽水文站时,浓度为（11.002±1.004）μg/L,整体上呈显著下降态势（P<0.05）,但不同站点两两之间的对比特征存在差异,而且在不同月份其纵向演变特征也有所不同。聚类及非度量多维尺度分析也表明其在空间和时间上分布的差异性。非线性回归分析表明,在时间和空间上与叶绿素a浓度相关性最高的环境因子为水下0.5 m处的光照强度（P<0.01）;在2018年10月,水体叶绿素a浓度与溶解氧也呈显著相关（P<0.05）。综合现有研究,水体叶绿素a的纵向演变受水质等多种因素的影响。未来需采用系统分析手段,探讨水质、降水、水力停留时间、流速和流量等多种因子对叶绿素a时空分布特征的综合作用,以期为水源地水质安全保障提供科学依据。     

2010年夏季珠江口海域颗粒有机碳的分布特征及其来源

于2010年8月对珠江口海域20个站位的颗粒有机碳(POC)进行采样,分析了POC的空间分布特征,讨论了POC与环境因子之间的关系,并利用碳稳定同位素(δ13C)分析了POC的来源及其贡献率。结果显示,研究区域POC的浓度范围98.5—1929.8μg/L,平均浓度541.9μg/L,空间分布总体呈现自北部海域向中部海域逐渐降低,中部海域至南部海域又逐渐升高,底层大于表层的特点。总悬浮颗粒物、叶绿素a、水动力是影响POC空间分布的重要原因。研究区域总悬浮颗粒物δ13C值的变化范围-27.05‰—-21.03‰,平均为-24.57‰,反映出珠江口海域颗粒有机碳为陆源和水生源混合来源,其分布呈现沿盐度梯度自口门内向口门外逐渐递增,底层高于表层的特点。陆源输入和海洋生物生产是影响δ13C值分布的主要原因。运用二元混合模型计算得知,珠江口北部和中部海域POC以陆源有机碳为主,贡献率平均为64%;南部海域POC以水生源有机碳为主,贡献率平均为68%。与20多年前相比,POC的分布特征与来源已经发生了改变,珠江口海域含沙量减少与营养盐含量增加可能是导致POC组成发生变化的主要原因。
