潜流型菖蒲人工湿地不同C/N对污染物的去除效率

选取炉渣和砾石为基质,以无植被为对照,分别设置低、中、高浓度的3个碳水平(C1、C2、C3)和3个氮水平(N1、N2、N3)处理,研究潜流型菖蒲人工湿地在不同C/N下净化生活污水中COD、总氮(TN)、总磷(TP)的效果。结果表明,在不同C/N下,菖蒲人工湿地对污水中COD、TN的去除效果显著高于无植被的人工湿地,菖蒲植被能增加人工湿地COD去除率10.53%,增加TN去除率6.73%;而对于TP的去除,有无植被无显著差异。随着进水N、P浓度及C/N的变化,菖蒲湿地对COD、TN和TP的去除率分别为67.57%～75.85%、20.91%～56.82%和7.15%～17.78%;同时,菖蒲植株对N、P的积累量也相应的变化,其地上部的N、P积累量为4.44～14.79和1.11～3.37g.m-2,平均占湿地N、P去除率的6.91%和10.67%;地下部的N、P积累量分别为2.35～5.20和0.74～1.41g.m-2,平均占湿地N、P去除率的2.69%和6.02%。植物地上器官对湿地N、P的积累量大于地下部,有利于通过收割作用去除湿地系统中的N、P。     

4种不同生活型湿地植物对富营养化水体的净化效果

选择4种湿地植物菖蒲、香蒲、浮萍和金鱼藻,研究单一及组合湿地植物对高浓度污水(污水处理厂进水)、低浓度污水(污水处理厂出水)中营养物质的去除效果.结果表明: 水体中总氮(TN)、总磷(TP)、化学需氧量(COD)浓度呈现试验前期快速下降,后期缓慢下降的趋势,表明湿地植物能有效净化污水中的TN、TP、COD,但不同湿地植物及湿地植物组合的净化效果存在差异.多种湿地植物组合比单种湿地植物对TN的净化作用强,其中香蒲＋浮萍＋金鱼藻对TN的净化效果最佳;高浓度污水中,单种挺水植物对TP的净化效果较好,低浓度污水中,则是多种湿地植物组合对TP的去除率较高;高浓度污水中,湿地植物对COD的去除率为85.1%～96.0%,其中菖蒲、香蒲去除效果最佳,低浓度污水中,湿地植物对COD去除率为76.9%～94.8%,以菖蒲＋浮萍＋金鱼藻去除效果最好.总体看来,湿地植物对高浓度污水中TN、TP、COD的净化效果好于低浓度污水,两种水体的pH都得到改善.     

菖蒲和石菖蒲的生长特性及其对生活污水净化功能的比较研究

以菖蒲和石菖蒲为对象,通过漂浮栽植研究了其在不同浓度生活污水中的生长特性及其对污水TN、NH3-N、TP、CODCr的去除情况。结果表明,菖蒲在中浓度污水中生长最好,其生物量显著高于低、高浓度,而石菖蒲在低浓度污水中生长最好,其生物量显著高于中、高浓度。菖蒲对中浓度污水中TN、TP、CODCr的去除率分别为96.85%、82.62%、88.89%,对低浓度污水中TN、TP、CODCr的去除率分别为99.87%、91.38%、83.34%,净化效果均高于高浓度(96.58%、80.96%、77.55%),但对NH3-N的去除率在高浓度污水中最好,为99.46%。石菖蒲净化中浓度污水的效果最好,对TN、NH3-N、TP、CODCr的去除率分别为94.20%、78.06%、89.43%、74.98%,对高浓度污水中的NH3-N、TP、CODCr的去除效果也较好,去除率分别为94.62%、91.95%、87.08%,但对TN去除率为59.14%,显著低于低浓度(98.73%)和中浓度(94.20%)。

为比较湿地生态系统中常见水生植物的净水效果,在铁-碳内电解质下以凤眼莲、睡莲、菖蒲、芦苇4种水生植物为研究对象,比较分析植物及其组合在不同试验时间(1～5 d)对污水中铵氮、化学需氧量(COD)、总磷(TP)的净化效果.结果表明:与无植物的对照相比,铁-碳内电解质下单种水生植物对污水中的铵氮、COD、TP去除效果更好,但物种间存在明显差异.在污水处理2 d时,凤眼莲对铵氮的去除率达到100%;3 d时,铵氮在菖蒲水体中的浓度接近0;各类型植物组合对铵氮的去除效果均较好.在污水处理2 d时,凤眼莲的水体COD浓度接近0,菖蒲次之,凤眼莲-菖蒲组合水体的COD浓度降为最低(4.33 mg·L^-1),去除率为85.1%.在处理4 d时,凤眼莲的TP浓度最低,芦苇次之;处理2 d时,凤眼莲-菖蒲水体的TP浓度最低.内电解质与植物的组合效果比单纯内电解质对污水的净化效果好,植物的配置应依据污染物水平进行优化.     

湖滨带典型植物不同器官营养盐分配及生态效应

以太湖胥口湾湖滨带芦苇、香蒲和菖蒲等典型挺水植物为研究对象,通过分析这3种挺水植物不同生长阶段器官中营养元素含量,结合其单位面积生物量以及分布面积,估算水生植物收割的氮(TN)、磷(TP)去除效应。结果表明:湖滨湿地沉积物中TN含量在生长期和衰老期分别为1373.0～2919.8和2240.6～3923.4 mg·kg~(-1),TP含量分别为437.1～687.3和556.0～790.7 mg·kg~(-1);3种植物在生长期和衰老期不同器官的TN、TP含量差异显著(P0.05),且均表现为叶根茎;由生长期到衰老期,3种挺水植物叶和茎中TN和TP含量下降,而根部则增加;3种挺水植物器官中总碳含量表现为根≈茎叶,且受植物生长期影响较小;在3种挺水植物中,芦苇叶中TN含量最高,香蒲茎中TN含量最高,三者根中TN含量相当;香蒲叶、茎、根中TP含量最高,而芦苇叶、茎、根中总碳含量最高;衰老期间,收割3种优势挺水植物可有效去除TN 21.8 t(18.47 g·m~(-2))、TP 1.6 t(1.36 g·m~(-2)),有效降低植物残体腐烂分解造成的二次污染。     

不同土壤类型对芦苇生长及光合特征的影响

以宁夏平原湿地恢复中常用的几种土壤进行芦苇栽培控制实验,获取芦苇在不同土壤环境中生长及光合作用特征,探讨影响芦苇正常生长发育的主要土壤因子和适宜土壤类型。结果表明:(1)不同土壤环境条件下芦苇的多度、株高、叶面积、株径、生物量存在显著差异,且各生态和生长特征值均为草炭土最大。(2)芦苇的光合参数Pn、Gs、Tr表现出相同的变化趋势,即峰值出现在10:00,具有明显的"午休"现象,但Ci值的变化趋势则相反。(3)不同土壤类型上芦苇的光合效应表现为草炭土沼泽土原位土灰钙土沙土,显示草炭土中芦苇的光合效应最强。(4)土壤因子与芦苇的生物量、净光合速率的通径分析及逐步回归分析结果表明,土壤有机碳含量(SOC)、全氮含量(TN)是影响芦苇生物量的决定因子;影响芦苇净光合速率的决定因子为土壤全氮含量(TN)、有机碳含量(SOC)和土壤全磷含量(TP),土壤全盐含量(TS)为限制因子。(5)芦苇属于典型的水生植物,对水分的要求较高,草炭土富含养分,且保水能力特别强,是最适合芦苇生长的土壤类型。     

水稻根系通气组织与根系泌氧及根际硝化作用的关系

通过根箱土培试验研究了不同产量籼稻品种中旱22(ZH,高产品种)及禾盛10号(HS,低产品种)苗期根系生长、通气组织发育、根系径向泌氧量(radial oxygen loss,ROL)以及根表和根际土壤硝化强度差异。结果表明,除水稻播种40 d时二者根数量和根干重无显著差异外,ZH根直径、根数量和根干重均显著高于HS,二者差异尤其表现在根系生物量差异。两个水稻品种在距根尖20 mm处均可见辐射状通气组织,ZH皮层薄壁细胞已经完全崩溃形成连接中柱和外皮层的纵向气腔,而HS皮层薄壁细胞未发生完全离解,但仍能观察到明显的连接中柱和外皮层的纵向气腔的形成。同时ZH外皮层厚壁细胞体积较小,排列紧密,细胞壁增厚程度大;而HS外皮层厚壁细胞体积相对较大,排列疏松,细胞壁增厚程度相对较小。表明高产品种通气组织发育比低产品种更加完善,表现为ZH根孔隙度(porosity of root,POR)显著高于HS,且高产品种对水稻根系ROL的屏蔽作用较低产品种更强,为根系提供更充足的氧气供应,促进根系生长。除了水稻播种后40 d时ZH和HS单根ROL无显著差异外(P<0.05),ZH单株、单位重量以及单根ROL均显著高于HS(P<0.01)。两个水稻品种硝化强度均表现为根际土壤显著高于根表土壤 (P<0.01),前者大约是后者的3-6倍。两个品种根表土壤硝化强度无显著差异,而ZH根际土壤硝化强度均显著高于HS。相关性分析结果表明水稻根际土壤硝化强度和整株水稻ROL呈极显著正相关关系(r=0.803,P<0.01),和水稻POR也呈现极显著正相关关系(r=0.808,P<0.01),同时和根系直径、数量和干重均呈极显著正相关关系(P<0.01)。而根表土壤硝化强度和以上指标均无相关关系。由于硝化作用是好氧过程,因此高产品种由于根系发达,通气组织发育好,相应ROL也较大,造成根际土壤氧气含量高,从而可能导致根际土壤硝化强度显著高于低产品种。     

杨树人工林细根数量和形态特征的季节动态及代际差异

采集欧美杨107Ⅰ代和Ⅱ代人工林细根样品,分析杨树不同根序细根数量特征(根长度、表面积和生物量)和形态特征(比根长、根长密度、根组织密度)对季节波动的响应及其代际差异.结果表明： 杨树各根序细根数量特征(根长度、表面积和生物量)均呈明显的季节变化,且具有明显的根序差异性.低级根序细根数量特征季节差异显著,细根生物量在生长季显著增加而生长季后显著下降.高级根序细根比根长季节波动显著,而根长密度和根组织密度等形态特征波动较小.连作导致人工林杨树1～2级细根长度、生物量、比根长和根长密度在生长季显著增大.1级细根数量特征与土壤温湿度呈显著正相关,与土壤有机质和速效氮含量呈显著负相关;而2级细根数量特征仅与土壤养分显著相关.杨树人工林细根特征的季节动态及代际差异体现了杨树对细根的碳投入变化,因连作引发的土壤养分匮乏可能引发植株对根系的碳投入增加,这种碳分配格局与人工林地上部分生产力形成密切相关.     

北京地区人工湿地植物活力及污染物去除能力

研究了北京地区常见9种水生植物在水平流潜流型人工湿地中的污染物去除能力和生活力.结果表明,前边湿地单元对COD、TP、TN等污染物的去除贡献大于后边湿地单元.供试植物均可在人工湿地中正常生长,稳定生长112 d后,不同植物的氮磷含量和生物量差异显著（P<0.05）,多数植物氮磷含量地下部高于地上部,地下地上部生物量比（U/A）接近或大于1.植物体内的氮磷累积量为1.36～7.89 g·m^-2和0.19～1.07 g·m^-2.植物生物量对氮磷累积量的影响力大于氮磷含量对氮磷累积量的影响力.水生鸢尾应为北京地区首选人工湿地植物,菖蒲、香蒲和荻等次之.泽泻和芦竹在人工湿地中不能越冬成活.     

不同湿地植物及其组合对污染物的净化效果比较

通过在北京市延庆县建立湿地植物筛选池,模拟自然条件下7种湿地植物和7种植物配置对总磷(TP)、总氮(TN)、化学需氧量(COD)的去除效果。结果表明:不同湿地植物及组合对COD和TN、TP的净化效果不存在显著性差异(P>0.05)。除香蒲夏秋两季对COD的净化效果存在显著性差异外(P<0.05),其他湿地植物及组合对COD的净化效果不存在显著性差异(P>0.05)。7种湿地植物单种和7种湿地植物配置都表现为是夏季对TN的去除效果要优于秋季。除芦苇+睡菜、香蒲+蒿柳夏秋两季对TN的净化效果存在显著性差异外(P<0.05),其他湿地植物及组合对TN的净化效果不存在显著性差异(P>0.05)。7种不同湿地植物配置对TN的净化效果存在显著性差异(P<0.1)。夏秋两季。不同湿地植物单种之间对TP的净化效果不存在显著性差异(P>0.05);而夏季不同湿地植物配置对TP的净化效果存在显著性差异(P<0.05),秋季不同湿地植物配置对TP的净化效果不存在显著性差异(P>0.05)。除菖蒲+茭白、芦苇+睡菜夏秋两季对'TP的净化效果存在显著性差异(P<0.05)外,其余湿地植物及组合对TP的净化效果不存在显著性差异(P>0.05)。     

Relationships between plant photosynthesis,radial oxygen loss and nutrient removal in constructed wetland microcosms

The objective of this study was to investigate the relationships between root radial oxygen loss (ROL), photosynthesis, and nutrient removal, based on the hypothesis that ROL is primarily an active process which is affected positively by photosynthesis, and is correlated positively with nutrient removal. Four common wetland plants were studied in small-scale monoculture wetlands. Higher ROL coincided with faster growth among the four monocultures. Significant correlation between ROL and photosynthetic rate existed in Cyperus flabelliformis wetland (P < 0.01). Both ROL and photosynthesis represented close correlations with nutrient removal rates in all four monocultures. Significant differences in ROL, photosynthetic rate, removal rates of NH₄⁺, and soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) were found among the four species. ROL and photosynthetic rates showed single-peak daily and seasonal patterns, with maximum daily values around noon, and with maximum yearly values in summer or autumn for the four monocultures. The results suggest that the ROL of wetland plants is related to active physiological processes. Both ROL and photosynthetic rate are indices which can be used to identify wetland plants with a higher nutrient removal capacity.     

Arsenic accumulation and speciation in rice are affected by root aeration and variation of genotypes

Root aeration, arsenic (As) accumulation, and speciation in rice of 20 different genotypes with regular irrigation of water containing 0.4 mg As l(-1) were investigated. Different genotypes had different root anatomy demonstrated by entire root porosity (ranging from 12.43% to 33.21%), which was significantly correlated with radial oxygen loss (ROL) (R=0.64, P<0.01). Arsenic accumulation differed between genotypes, but there were no significant differences between Indica and Japonica subspecies, as well as paddy and upland rice. Total ROL from entire roots was correlated with metal tolerance (expressed as percentage mean of control straw biomass, R=0.69, P<0.01) among the 20 genotypes; total As concentration (R=-0.67, P<0.01) and inorganic As concentration (R=-0.47, P<0.05) in rice grains of different genotypes were negatively correlated with ROL. There were also significant genotype effects in percentage inorganic As (F=15.8, P<0.001) and percentage cacodylic acid (F=22.1, P<0.001), respectively. Root aeration of different genotypes and variation of genotypes on As accumulation and speciation would be useful for selecting genotypes to grow in areas contaminated by As.     

The ability of aquatic macrophytes to increase root porosity and radial oxygen loss determines their resistance to sediment anoxia

Radial oxygen loss (ROL) has been suggested to be a major process to protect plants exposed to root anaerobic stress. In the present study, we aimed to test the importance of root porosity and radial oxygen loss on the aquatic macrophyte resistance to sediment anoxia. We expected that species living in eutrophic environments characterized by anaerobic conditions in sediments exhibited higher root porosity and radial oxygen loss than species restrained to oligotrophic environments. In this way, we compared the responses to sediment anoxia of two hydrophyte species growing under meso-eutrophic conditions in the field (Myriophyllum spicatum L. and Vallisneria spiralis L.) and three species growing under oligotrophic conditions (Potamogeton coloratus Horne, Elodea canadensis Michx and Sparganium emersum Michx.). Under laboratory conditions, ROL, root porosity, plant metabolism (aerobic respiration, photosynthesis, root fermentative activity) and plant growth were analysed after 3?months of acclimation in anaerobic sediments and compared with control values obtained from aerobic sediments. The results showed that two meso-eutrophic species (M. spicatum and V. spiralis) survived in anaerobic sediments and maintained similar photosynthesis rates than those measured under aerobic conditions. In contrast, the three oligotrophic species (P. coloratus, E. canadensis and S. emersum) suffered net biomass loss and depressed their photosynthesis rates under anaerobic conditions. All variables associated with plant tolerance to anaerobic conditions (maintenance of photosynthesis, aerobic respiration and growth rate, and limitation of root fermentative activity) were positively linked to root porosity and ROL. According to our hypothesis, species that could survive to anaerobic conditions were the species able to increase their root porosity and ROL under these conditions. Thus, in ecological studies, it would be useful to use the root porosity and ROL plasticity as biological traits in order to model the distribution of macrophytes in river floodplains.     

Effects of water level fluctuation on radial oxygen loss,root porosity,and nitrogen removal in subsurface vertical flow wetland mesocosms

Laboratory experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of water level fluctuation on plant radial oxygen loss (ROL), root porosity, plant growth performance, and nitrogen dynamics in vertical subsurface flow wetland mesocosms. Four types of mesocosms were used: control with static water level, control with fluctuating water level, static water level with plants, and fluctuating water level with plants. Typha orientalis, an emergent macrophyte, was used in this study. Changes of ROL, root porosity, and plant biomass were measured every six weeks. Shoot height and density of plants were also observed. Every two weeks, the nitrogen removal efficiency of the four systems was monitored. Maximum ROL values under static and fluctuating conditions were 7.58 and 2.73 μmol/g DW/h, respectively. The porosity values of roots under static and fluctuating conditions ranged between 33–47% and 30–37%, respectively. Average removal efficiency of both total nitrogen (TN) and ammonium nitrogen (NH₄-N) in the fluctuating condition with plants was about 65%, and nitrate nitrogen removal in the static condition with plants was about 75%. Although the water level fluctuation caused a considerable reduction in ROL and root porosity, it clearly produced a significant improvement in TN and NH₄-N removal.     

四种湿地植物在人工湿地的生长特性研究

研究了表面流人工湿地中香根草(Vetiveria zizanioides)、风车草(Cyperus flabelliformis)、芦苇(Phrogmites australis)和水鬼蕉(Hymenocallis littoralis)4种植物的根生物量和生长量、根系分布、地上部分的生长情况.风车草、香根草和水鬼蕉根系及地上部分的生长节律相似,9月或10月前生长较快,以后生长减慢甚至停止;芦苇则不同,7月以前生长缓慢,以后生长加速,冬季也保持较快的生长.全年根生长量和根生物量以水鬼蕉最大,显著高于其它植物(P<0.01),香根草最小,显著低于其它3种植物(P<0.01).香根草的根系垂直向下生长,分布较深,而其它3种植物的根系主要分布在浅层土壤中.风车草分株最多,叶面积指数最大.香根草叶面积指数最小.结果表明,在构建多种植物人工湿地群落时,可以考虑将芦苇与大多数湿地植物搭配以保证湿地全年保持较好的净化效果;水鬼蕉可以作为底层植物,和风车草等生长早、植株较高的植物构建多种湿地群落.     

Plants interactions between <Emphasis Type="Italic">Suaeda salsa</Emphasis> individuals are mediated by salinity stress

To test how plants interactions change with environmental stress, neighbors removal experiments in Suaeda salsa communities of beach were conducted in Hangzhou bay Zhejiang Province, China. Results showed that there is a significant shift from positive interaction in high salinity stress to negative interaction in low salinity stress. Removal experiments also clarified the role of phenotype response in linking plants interactions and environmental stress. Under low salinity stress, biomass, stem length, root length, leaf area, and photosynthesis rate, water-use efficiency of neighbors removal plants were higher than those of control plants, while leaf water content of neighbors removal plants were lower than those of control plants. Under high salinity stress, biomass, stem length, root length, leaf area, and photosynthesis rate, leaf water content of neighbors removal plants were lower than those of control plants, while water-use efficiency of neighbors removal plants were higher than those of control plants. It can be concluded that S. salsa interactions were mediated by salinity stress through morphological and physiological plasticity.     

不同渗氧能力水稻品种对砷的耐性和积累

水稻是目前世界上(尤其是东南亚)最主要的粮食作物之一,也是砷(As)通过食物链进入人体的主要途径。日益加剧的土壤砷污染,严重影响了稻米的产量和品质,进而威胁着人体健康。通过温室实验,研究CNT 87059-3、玉香油占和巴西陆稻3种不同渗氧能力的水稻品种在不同砷浓度处理下的生长情况和砷积累特征,结果表明:(1)渗氧能力强的玉香油占砷耐性指数最高,砷处理浓度为2 mg/L时耐性指数高达0.71,而CNT 87059-3的耐性指数为0.55,巴西陆稻仅有0.17;(2)随着砷处理浓度的升高,3种水稻品种的生物量呈现下降趋势,但渗氧能力强的玉香油占较其它两品种生物量的下降幅度小;(3)在不同砷浓度处理下水稻地下部分的砷含量有显著性差异(P0.001),且同种砷浓度处理下不同水稻品种的地下部分砷含量也存在显著性差异(P0.01),渗氧能力较强的水稻品种与渗氧能力较弱的品种相比能显著降低砷在根部(地下部分)的积累。水稻渗氧能力与其砷耐性和砷积累有显著相关性,渗氧能力越强,水稻的砷耐性越强,砷的积累量越少。因此,通过筛选渗氧能力强的水稻品种,有望降低污染农田水稻的砷含量和健康风险。     

模拟人工湿地中植物多样性配置对硝态氮去除的影响

为检验植物多样性对人工湿地脱氮功能的影响,在模拟人工湿地试验系统中设置了植物单种和混种处理并定期供给氮形态仅为硝态氮的模拟污水。结果表明:混种系统的出水硝态氮浓度显著低于单种(P<0.05);混种与单种系统在基质氮含量和植物氮积累量上无统计差异;质量平衡分析表明混种促进系统反硝化强度;菩提子单种系统中的硝态氮移除能力显著高于香蒲、芦苇和菖蒲单种系统,后3种硝态氮移除能力则无显著差异。本研究可为人工湿地选择高效物种、多样性配置以提高氮去除率提供依据。     

Relationship between root vigour,photosynthesis and biomass in soybean cultivars during 87 years of genetic improvement in the northern China

During the last century, the world soybean yield has been constantly enhancing at a remarkable rate. Factors limiting the soybean yield may be multiple. It is widely acknowledged that changes of root metabolism can influence aboveground characteristics, such as the seed yield and photosynthesis. In this study, we considered root bleeding sap mass (BSM) and root activity (RA) as indicators of the root growth vigour. We used 27 soybean cultivars, spanning from 1923 to 2009, to evaluate the contribution of root characteristic improvement to efficient photosynthesis and dry matter production. The BSM, RA, net photosynthetic rate (P_N), and organ biomass were measured at different growth stages, such as the fourth leaf node, flowering, podding, and seed-filling stage. Our results showed that the soybean cultivars increased their biomass and P_N thanks to genetic improvement. At the same time, BSM and RA also increased in dependence on a year of cultivar release. However, both P_N and biomass were positively correlated with root characteristics only at the podding stage. Our data revealed that the improved root characteristic may have contributed to the enhanced photosynthesis, biomass, and yield of soybean cultivars during last 87 years of genetic improvement. We suggest that BSM and RA could be used as important indexes for further practice in soybean production improvement.
