2005年夏季长江口水域浮游植物群集特征及其与环境因子的关系 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
根据2005年9月8—15日在长江口及其邻近水域(30.5°32.5°N,121.0°123.5°E)进行的多学科外业航次调查所获资料,对调查区浮游植物的群集特征及其与环境因子之间的关系进行了研究。结果表明:鉴定浮游植物98种(含变种和变型),硅藻是浮游植物中的主要类群;浮游植物生态类型多为温带近岸种,少数为暖水种和大洋种;优势种主要为多尼骨条藻、尖刺伪菱形藻、柔弱几内亚藻、翼鼻状藻细长变型和柔弱伪菱形藻;细胞丰度平均为256.4个·mL-1,高值出现在调查区的中部偏南及东北部海域;Margalef物种丰富度指数、Shannon-Wiener物种多样性指数、Pielou'均匀度指数的分布显示:调查区东南部海域浮游植物多样性程度较高,物种均一性较好。物种与环境的典范对应分析显示:甲藻与环境因子中溶解氧的关系较为密切;多尼骨条藻与海水中硅酸盐和硝酸盐的关系较为密切,与海水盐度有很大的负相关性;各物种在排序图中的位置反映了其对不同环境资源的生态需求。 相似文献

2013年1月和2014年1月对湖南张家界大鲵国家级自然保护区内5个大鲵栖息地河段进行了大型无脊椎动物采样调查.结果表明: 2次采样分别鉴定出大型无脊椎动物73和78个分类单元,隶属5门8纲16目,均以水生昆虫为优势类群,分别占总分类单元总数的90.4%和89.7%;2次采样大型无脊椎动物平均密度分别为1610.4和1671.4 ind·m-2,平均生物量分别为11.22和12.34 g·m-2. 2次调查各采样点大型无脊椎动物Shannon指数平均值分别为2.45和2.33,Margalef丰富度指数平均值分别为4.01和3.76,Pielou均匀度指数平均值分别为0.72和0.69,表明大鲵栖息地河段生境质量有所下降.张家界大鲵栖息地河段大型无脊椎动物丰度-生物量曲线分析表明,骡子塔和芭茅溪采样点河段生境受到中等扰动,七眼泉为受干扰最轻微的河段.基于大型无脊椎动物密度的Bray-Curtis相似性系数的NMDS分析结果显示,在40%的相似度下,2013年各样点都可以较好地聚在一起,2014年各样点较为离散. 对各采样点在NMDS第一轴和第二轴上的得分与环境因子的Spearman相关性分析表明,河宽、铵态氮、海拔、化学需氧量和五日生化需要量与大型无脊椎动物显著相关.保护区内大鲵栖息地生境整体上仍相对良好,可以满足大鲵的生态需求,但保护区的某些区域人为破坏较重.建议采取严格的管理制度和科学的保护措施来遏制人为破坏,并逐步恢复大鲵栖息生境. 相似文献

毛竹液流特征及其与环境因子的关系 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
运用Dynamax液流测量系统监测浙江庙山坞自然保护区毛竹液流的日变化,采用型号为EQ-15的土壤水势仪监测0~100cm土层的土壤水势,利用自动气象站同步监测太阳总辐射、空气温度、空气相对湿度、风速等气象因子。结果表明:晴朗天气条件下毛竹液流的日变化过程呈现单峰曲线,具有显著的昼夜变化规律,且变幅大;阴雨天气时液流日变化过程呈双峰或多峰曲线,而且日均液流速率和日液流量均低于晴朗天气,变化较平缓;不同径阶毛竹液流速率波动规律相同,但径级较大毛竹的日均液流速率和液流量较大一些。当0~100cm土层土壤水势在-13~-10kPa时,毛竹液流速率与土壤水势相关性不显著,但当土壤水势低于-200kPa左右时,液流速率和土壤水势呈正相关,土壤水分含量成为限制液流速率的主要因子之一;相关性分析表明,边材液流速率与空气温度、空气相对湿度、光合有效辐射、总辐射、水蒸气压亏缺呈极显著正相关,与空气相对湿度呈极显著负相关。太阳辐射、气温、空气湿度、风速等环境因子作自变量,以液流速率作因变量,经过逐步回归,建立了液流速率与环境因子的多元线性模型。 相似文献

喀斯特地区土壤温度变化特征对研究该区土壤活性及小气候变化具有重要意义。为探明喀斯特地区土壤温度变化特征及其与环境因子的关系,以喀斯特高原峡谷区四种典型土地类型(花椒地、金银花地、火龙果地、荒地)为研究对象,采用土壤含水量监测系统(ECH2O)对各样地土壤温度变化进行连续定点监测,分析土壤温度的动态变化特征及其与环境因子的关系。结果表明:10 cm处土壤温度日变幅最大,土层越深日变幅越小;土壤温度日变幅为夏季较大,秋、冬季较小。火龙果地、金银花地土壤温度日变幅明显大于花椒地、荒地;随着土层加深,土壤温度日变化出现滞后现象;不同季节土壤温度均为火龙果地 > 荒地 > 花椒地 > 金银花地。夏季土层越深,土壤温度越低;秋、冬季土层越深,土壤温度越高;土壤垂直温度变异系数表现为冬季大于夏季。相关分析表明,土壤温度与气温、太阳辐射及土壤含水量均呈显著正相关(P<0.05),土壤温度变化与容重、孔隙度、土壤质地、有机碳等土壤理化性质相关性显著。花椒地土壤温度日变幅最小,与其较高的土壤含水量和总孔隙度、容重小、土壤持水性强密切相关。综上,花椒地对土壤温度的调节效果较好,因此,在喀斯特地区生态恢复的过程中,种植花椒能在一定程度上改善土壤性质,提升土壤肥力。本研究为喀斯特地区的生态恢复提供了科学依据,为植被生态效益评价提供一定参考。 相似文献

长江口及其邻近海域春季无脊椎动物群落时空变化 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
为了研究长江口及其邻近海域无脊椎动物群落结构和多样性的时空变化特征, 我们于1999-2012年春季在长江口及其邻近海域采用定点底层双拖网调查方式进行无脊椎动物调查。结果表明: (1)1999-2012年长江口水域共记录无脊椎动物41种, 隶属6纲10目23科, 其中甲壳动物种类最多(26种), 其次为软体动物(13种)。不同年份种类数量呈先下降后上升的趋势。(2)优势种主要包括日本枪乌贼(Loligo japonica)、三疣梭子蟹(Portunus trituberculatus)、葛氏长臂虾(Palaemon gravieri)和鹰爪虾(Trachypenaeus curvirostris)等, 其在年间存在剧烈变动, 但日本枪乌贼几乎每年都是优势种。(3)长江口无脊椎动物丰度、种类丰富度和多样性在年间均存在显著差异, 1999年和2001年最高, 2004年后呈先下降后恢复上升的趋势。(4)长江口水域的无脊椎动物在每个航次调查中都存在2-3个群聚类型, 并有不同的指示种类。(5)1999-2012年长江口无脊椎动物群落的时间变化可划分为3个阶段: 1999-2001年多样性程度最高, 2004-2007年下降至最低水平, 2009-2012年多样性显著回升, 但尚未恢复到1999-2001年的水平。与20世纪80年代相比, 蟹类减少导致长江口无脊椎动物生物量整体水平下降, 高营养级生物资源衰退带来了无脊椎动物中低营养级生物种群的迅速发展。 相似文献

Littoral invertebrate communities (meio- and macrobenthos and zooplankton) were studied in seven types of macrophyte associations commonly encountered in Lake Ladoga: in reed (Phragmites) beds on sand, soft and hard bottoms, in associations with the prevalence of Potamogeton spp., Carex spp., and Equisetum fluviatile, and in diverse vegetation stands with e.g. Polygonum amphibium, Cicuta virosa, Typha latifolia and Eleocharis acicularis. Some of the studied habitats were affected by sewage pollution, others were in comparatively undisturbed areas. Statistically significant differences between invertebrate communities in the different macrophyte associations were found. In stepwise multiple linear regression analysis the following factors were identified as determinants of abundance of aquatic invertebrates in macrophyte associations: shoot density, plant dry weight biomass, periphyton biomass, periphyton chlorophyll a, periphyton primary production, and concentrations of Sr, Mg, Ca, P, Mn, Zn, Pb and Cu. Pollution was shown to have a minor effect on the composition of littoral invertebrate communities. It is not possible to determine one single principle factor responsible for the structure and density of invertebrates in macrophyte communities. 相似文献

Diet composition and trophic guild structure of fish assemblage in headwaters of the Chishui River,a tributary of the upper Yangtze River,China 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Fubin Zhang Fei Liu Qiang Qin Huanzhang Liu Wenxuan Cao Xin Gao 《Environmental Biology of Fishes》2018,101(8):1235-1248
In this study, the diet composition and trophic structure of the fish assemblage in the headwaters of the Chishui River were investigated. A total of 1677 fish specimens belonging to 14 species were collected and dissected. Of these specimens, 1063 individuals with undigested food in their stomachs or guts were used for analysis. Our analysis identified thirty-one kinds of prey, which were classified into eight categories, namely, diatoms, chlorophytes, other vegetable prey, aquatic insects, mollusks, other invertebrates, fishes, and unidentified organic matters. Among these categories, diatoms were the most important prey for this fish assemblage. With an ontogenetic dietary shift, the 14 species were subdivided into 16 predator groups, which were categorized into five trophic guilds, namely, algivore (diatoms), algivore (chlorophytes), omnivore, aquatic insectivore, and piscivore. Their diet composition significantly differed from one guild to another (p?<?0.05), and an evident overlap was observed in the diet spectrum between predator group in the algivore (diatoms) guild. These results suggested that autochthonous organic carbon was an important nutrient source for the fish assemblage in the headwaters of the Chishui River rather than allochthonous nutrients. For the protection of the fish resources, conservation efforts on the river substratum and the riparian zone in the headwaters of the Chishui River should be prioritized because these places are the main nutrient sources. 相似文献

Many studies have found that plant invasion can enhance soil organic carbon (SOC) pools, by increasing net primary production (NPP) and/or decreased soil respiration. While most studies have focused on C input, little attention has been paid to plant invasion effects on soil respiration, especially in wetland ecosystems. Our study examined the effects of Spartina alterniflora invasion on soil respiration and C dynamics in the Yangtze River estuary. The estuary was originally occupied by two native plant species: Phragmites australis in the high tide zone and Scirpus mariqueter in the low tide zone. Mean soil respiration rates were 185.8 and 142.3 mg CO2 m−2 h−1 in S. alterniflora and P. australis stands in the high tide zone, and 159.7 and 112.0 mg CO2 m−2 h−1 in S. alterniflora and S. mariqueter stands in the low tide zone, respectively. Aboveground NPP (ANPP), SOC, and microbial biomass were also significantly higher in the S. alterniflora stands than in the two native plant stands. S. alterniflora invasion did not significantly change soil inorganic carbon or pH. Our results indicated that enhanced ANPP by S. alterniflora exceeded invasion-induced C loss through soil respiration. This suggests that S. alterniflora invasion into the Yangtze River estuary could strengthen the net C sink of wetlands in the context of global climate change. 相似文献

The Mamanguape River Estuary was studied along a continuum ranging from shallow sandstone reefs adjacent to the river mouth up to the limit of influence of seawater, the upper portions of the estuary. Fish samples were gathered using three types of nets along 17 sample sites, grouped in four regions according to salinity range (reefs and low, middle and upper estuaries), to seasonality (dry and rainy seasons) and to habitat usage (marine visitor, marine estuarine-opportunist, marine estuarine-dependent, estuarine resident and estuarine &; marine). Differences were found in the fish assemblages along the estuarine-reef gradient, with most species (n?=?30) being considered marine, estuarine-opportunists or estuarine-dependent, according to its abundance and distribution. A low number of species (n?=?11) were considered estuarine residents. Some species exhibited significant differences in spatial distribution pattern, in which juveniles and adults predominated in different portions of the estuary, suggesting an ontogenetic migration both in relation to the adjacent reef area and across estuarine regions. Several species were newly recorded in the Mamanguape Estuary: Anchoa spinifer, Halichoeres poeyi, Hyporhamphus roberti, Scomberomorus cavalla, Sphyraena barracuda and Ocgocephalus vesperilio. 相似文献

《Harmful algae》2014
The parasitic dinoflagellates in the genus of Amoebophrya can infect broad ranges of planktonic dinoflagellates, and transform algal biomass into organic matter that can be recycled within the planktonic community. The ecological significance of Amoebophrya spp. during harmful algal bloom (HAB) events was gradually recognized along with revelation of its host specificity and diversity in picoplankton communities. The eutrophicated coastal waters of China are frequently affected by HABs, particularly in Changjiang (Yangtze River) estuary and the adjacent East China Sea; while, no research has been conducted to explore the ecological roles of parasitism during HAB events and the related dinoflagellate bloom dynamics. For the first time, we confirmed the presence of Amoebophrya infections in the planktonic community of this region; six species of dinoflagellates were infected, including Ceratium tripos, Scrippsiella trochoidea, Gonyaulax spinifera, Gymnodinium sp., Gonyaulax sp. and an Alexandrium sp. Molecular sequences retrieved from environmental water samples revealed high genetic diversity of Amoebophryidae-like organisms in the water column. Amoebophrya-infected dinoflagellates were only observed in high salinity (>20) stations suggesting that salinity may be a factor limiting the distribution of Amoebophyra infections in natural environment. Whereas, no evidence of Amoebophrya infection was observed in the bloom-forming species Karenia mikimotoi, suggesting that K. mikimotoi in this region was likely free of Amoebophridae infection. 相似文献

A Holocene environmental record from the southern Yangtze River delta, eastern China 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Jing Tao Min-Te Chen Shiyuan Xu 《Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology》2006,230(3-4):204-229
The Holocene sedimentary record of core ZX-1, recovered west of mid-Holocene Chenier ridges on the monsoon-controlled Southern Yangtze delta, eastern China, consists of lagoon, salt marsh, upper tidal flat, and limnic facies, reflecting low-energy depositional environments. Holocene deposits mainly originated from the surrounding Tai Lake drainage basin. The temporal variation of most geochemical element percentages corresponds with the climatic phases inferred from the pollen record, i.e., the relatively low values of SiO2, Na2O, CaO and high values of Al2O3, K2O, MgO, Fe2O3, FeO, FeO + Fe2O3 and TiO2 generally concur with the warm and humid climate, and vice versa. Three geochemical indices − Al2O3/Na2O, K2O/Na2O, and CaO/K2O − are found to be sensitive to past precipitation in the monsoon-controlled southern Yangtze River delta. Based on fine sediment analysis of core ZX-1, the samples deposited under a dry climate with a mean annual precipitation (MAP) < 500–900 mm tend to have Al2O3/Na2O values less than 12.2, and the samples deposited under a moist climate with an MAP 1000–1800 mm mostly have Al2O3/Na2O values higher than 12.2. Similarly, the K2O/Na2O boundary value is 2.0. However, for CaO/K2O, the dry climate sediments likely show values higher than 0.9, and those wet climate ones generally have values less than 0.9. This geochemical response suggests the potential application of these indices in the interpretation of palaeoclimate variation of monsoon-controlled eastern China.
Holocene climatic variation history is reconstructed for the southern Yangtze delta. From 8000 to 7000 yr BP, regional climate demonstrated frequent fluctuations, with warm and wet periods (8000–7700; 7500–7200 yr BP) alternating with cool and less humid periods (7700–7500; 7200–7000 yr BP). From 7000 to 6000 yr BP, the climate was relatively warm and humid. Since then, it had turned cool and dry, climaxing in an intense cold event around 4000 yr BP. After the cold event, it became warm and humid until around 2500 yr BP. 相似文献

The carrying capacity of food resources for migrating shorebirds was estimated at a stopover site in the Yangtze River Estuary
during the two migratory seasons (spring and autumn). From March to May and September to November 2005, the macrobenthos resources
of the Jiuduansha Wetland were investigated, and most of the macrobenthos species in the newly-formed shoal were found to
be appropriate food for shorebirds. Biomass measurements showed that the total food resource was about 4541.20 kg AFDW (Ash-Free
Dry Weight) in spring and about 2279.64 kg AFDW in autumn. Calculations were also done in the available habitats (intertidal
bare mudflat and Scirpus × mariqueter/Scirpus triqueter zones) for the shorebirds. The food resources in the available areas were about 3429.03 kg AFDW in spring and about 1700.92
kg AFDW in autumn. Based on the classification (by lean weight, basic metabolic rate and body length) of the shorebird community,
and using the energy depletion model, it was theorized that all of the food resources in the Jiuduansha Wetland could support
about 3.5 million shorebirds during spring season and 1.75 million shorebirds during autumn season. The shorebird carrying
capacities in terms of the available food were about 2.6 million and 1.3 million birds during the two respective migration
seasons. Considering the effect of intake rate, the potential carrying capacity was about 0.13–0.26 million shorebirds in
the study area. The main factor restricting use of the area by shorebirds was the scarcity of available habitats for roosting
at high tide rather than availability of food supply. We recommend restoring some wading pools in the dense Phragmites australis and Spartina alterniflora zones for shorebirds to roost in, to improve shorebirds’ utilization efficiency of the resources in the Jiuduansha Wetland.
