闽江河口互花米草入侵湿地土壤无机硫赋存形态及其影响因素

选择闽江河口鳝鱼滩的互花米草湿地为研究对象,基于时空互代法,探讨了不同互花米草入侵年限（SA1： 5-6 年;SA2： 8-10 年;SA3： 12-14年）湿地土壤的无机硫赋存形态及其主要影响因素。结果表明,随着互花米草入侵年限的增加,湿地土壤的水溶性硫（H₂O-S）含量整体呈增加趋势,而吸附性硫（Adsorbed-S）、盐酸可溶性硫（HCl-Soluble-S）和盐酸挥发性硫（HCl-Volatile-S）含量整体均呈降低趋势。相对于SA1,SA2、SA3土壤的H₂O-S含量分别增加了10.02%和2.68%,而其Adsorbed-S、HCl-Soluble-S和HCl-Volatile-S含量分别降低了9.02%、10.95%、7.57%和15.61%、32.89%、15.14%。湿地土壤的总无机硫（TIS）含量、TIS储量及其占全硫（TS）储量的比例均随互花米草入侵年限的增加而降低,且这种降低主要取决于Adsorbed-S、HCl-Soluble-S和HCl-Volatile-S的贡献。此外,随着互花米草入侵年限的增加,影响湿地土壤不同形态无机硫赋存的环境因子均发生了较大变化,其中土壤颗粒组成、EC和pH的改变对无机硫赋存形态的影响最为明显。研究发现,随着互花米草入侵年限的增加以及该区对互花米草定期刈割活动的进行,湿地土壤无机硫养分可能将继续降低并逐渐趋于缺乏状态,长期而言将减弱互花米草自身的入侵能力。     

新疆白杨河流域特征及生态植被需水分析

新疆白杨河流域地跨上游乌鲁木齐市达坂城及下游吐鲁番市托克逊县两个行政区,上游达坂城区位于天山博格达峰山前冲击、洪积山间盆地干旱区,源于天山多支源流汇集于盆地南端峡口,基于峡口形成下游并由有多支流沿程补给白杨河干流,穿越极端干旱戈壁荒漠区的托克逊县直至末端吐鲁番市境内尾闾-艾丁湖,是我国典型少有的跨越干旱与极端干旱叠加型流域灌区,水资源有效利用及水生态环境保护具有重要作用。遵循流域各河流水系形成的自然生态环境属性及河道取水工程节点,采用Penman-Monteith法生态需水定额和卫星遥感面积识别及水文年内展布方法,分析评估流域内上下游绿洲生态环境植被需水量和河流生态基流及其调控断面。结果表明,上游达坂城区黑沟河年生态需水量、生态基流、年均径流占比和控制断面,分别为921万m³、0.29m³/s、18%和黑沟渠首;阿克苏河为1048万m³、0.33m³/s、12%和阿克苏渠首;高崖子河为862万m³、0.27m³/s、12%和高崖子渠首;下游托克逊境内由白杨河干流调节,艾丁湖等生态需水量分别为4256万m³、1.35m³/s、32%和小草湖渠首。白杨河流域年生态需水7880万m³,生态基流2.50m³/s,生态水占年均径流量17%,分析结果为流域生态环境管理保护提供依据。     

长江中游地区生态系统服务平衡与城镇化的空间关系

生态系统服务与城镇化的相互作用关系研究是目前国际人地系统研究的热点和前沿领域。以长江中游地区325个县为研究单元,通过生态系统服务供需平衡评估矩阵法与城镇化相关指标分别测算了1995年、2005年、2015年生态系统服务平衡状况和城镇化水平,同时运用双变量空间自相关模型、空间计量模型探索了生态系统服务平衡与城镇化的空间关系。研究结果表明：（1）研究期间长江中游地区生态系统服务平衡状况不断恶化,而城镇化水平则持续上升;（2）生态系统服务平衡与城镇化之间存在显著负相关关系,不同区域的空间聚类模式表现出异质性;（3）添加控制变量的空间计量模型被证明能更好解释生态系统服务平衡与城镇化的空间关系,结果显示城镇化对态系统服务平衡的影响具有负外部效应,这种负外部效应在城镇化发展到一定阶段时逐渐减弱。建议,在城镇化进程中应统筹管理生态空间,尝试跨区域合作,实现生态与经济资源的共享与互补。     

Species Composition and Inter-annual Dynamics of a Freshwater Tidal Plant Community Following Removal of the Invasive Grass, Phragmites australis

We document the regeneration of native freshwater wetland plant assemblages following removal of the common reed, Phragmites australis (Cav.) Trin. ex Steudel from two sites at Chapman Pond, East Haddam, Connecticut, USA. We gathered field data on composition of the vegetation 1 year before and for each of the 3 years after the removal in fall 1995/spring 1996 of Phragmites by two slightly different methods (hand-removal and herbiciding in one area, mowing/mulching and herbiciding in another). An area where Phragmites was left intact was similarly monitored. Our goals for this monitoring were: (1) to document plant species composition and richness before and after Phragmites removal and (2) to examine temporal and spatial variability in patterns of plant recruitment. Phragmites declined in both density and extent in both plots where removal treatments were applied. Richness, evenness, and density of non-Phragmites species increased steadily from 1996 to 1997 in all removal and intact plots. However, the species composition of the removal plots was richer than that of the intact plot, and more closely resembled that of comparable, uninvaded freshwater tidal wetlands. Rates of recovery of species richness in the removal plots declined from 1997 to 1998, potentially reflecting saturation of available colonization space, or the return of Phragmites. Phragmites has expanded its range in both of the removal plots since 1997. A model of its colonization indicates that Phragmites occupies space through localized proliferation of dense rhizomes rather than diffusely foraging with long tillers. Vigilance in monitoring is needed to document the spread of invasives, to evaluate the multi-faceted ecological effects of eradication efforts on both the invader and the regenerating community, and develop strategies for preventing re-invasion.     

Genetic structure and ecological niche segregation of Indian gray mongoose (Urva edwardsii) in Iran

Combining genetic data with ecological niche models is an effective approach for exploring climatic and nonclimatic environmental variables affecting spatial patterns of intraspecific genetic variation. Here, we adopted this combined approach to evaluate genetic structure and ecological niche of the Indian gray mongoose (Urva edwardsii) in Iran, as the most western part of the species range. Using mtDNA, we confirmed the presence of two highly differentiated clades. Then, we incorporated ensemble of small models (ESMs) using climatic and nonclimatic variables with genetic data to assess whether genetic differentiation among clades was coupled with their ecological niche. Climate niche divergence was also examined based on a principal component analysis on climatic factors only. The relative habitat suitability values predicted by the ESMs for both clades revealed their niche separation. Between‐clade climate only niche comparison revealed that climate space occupied by clades is similar to some extent, but the niches that they utilize differ between the distribution ranges of clades. We found that in the absence of evidence for recent genetic exchanges, distribution models suggest the species occurs in different niches and that there are apparent areas of disconnection across the species range. The estimated divergence time between the two Iranian clades (4.9 Mya) coincides with the uplifting of the Zagros Mountains during the Early Pliocene. The Zagros mountain‐building event seems to have prevented the distribution of U. edwardsii populations between the western and eastern parts of the mountains as a result of vicariance events. Our findings indicated that the two U. edwardsii genetic clades in Iran can be considered as two conservation units and can be utilized to develop habitat‐specific and climate change‐integrated management strategies.     

汉江上游太白河川陕哲罗鲑(Hucho bleekery Kimura)再发现

川陕哲罗鲑(Hucho bleekeri Kimura)是我国长江流域特有鱼类,近几十年来资源量急剧下降,陕西和四川等地历史分布区已多年未见其踪迹,濒临灭绝。2013年在汉江上游陕西省太白县太白河发现了19尾成体样本。本次发现是该物种在太白河消失15年后的再次发现,也是近30多年来该物种在分布区范围内同时被发现成体数量最大的一次。本次发现对川陕哲罗鲑资源保护和恢复有重要意义。     

Long distance migration and marine habitation in the tropical Asian catfish, Pangasius krempfi

A synthesis of catch data from southern Laos and life-history information indicate that adult Pangasius krempfi , an important Asian catfish, migrates up the Mekong River from the South China Sea in Vietnam past Cambodia, arriving in southern Laos each year in May. Strontium concentrations in the otoliths of river-caught P. krempfi are, on average, three to four times higher than the levels of strontium in the otoliths of related freshwater species, indicating marine and estuary habitation for fish caught in southern Laos. Pangasius krempfi muscle tissue samples from the same fish also exhibit stable isotope (δ¹⁵N and δ¹³C) values characteristic of marine environments. The results of this investigation support the conclusion that P. krempfi is anadromous, spending a part of its life at sea and in the brackish water of the Mekong Delta before returning to spawn in fresh water. The fish travels at least 720 km to the Khone Falls in southern Laos, and possibly further. Spawning probably occurs in fresh water from June to August at which time young fish move down the Mekong River to the Mekong Delta. The data answer a previously unresolved question (the long-distance migratory behaviour of P. krempfi ) and have important implications for the management and conservation of Mekong River fishes.     

珠江口超微型浮游植物时空分布及其与环境因子的关系

对珠江口及近海区域进行了夏季和冬季超微型浮游植物(0.2-3μm)调查,分析了其时空分布及其与环境因子的关系.夏季,珠江口浮游植物密度与磷酸盐成显著正相关,且N/P远远高于30,表明浮游植物受到P限制.夏季超微型藻数量比冬季高一个数量级,其丰度与盐度成显著正相关而和营养盐(溶解性无机氮(DIN),PO4-P,SiO4-Si)显著负相关,表明珠江口超微型藻受到径流的负面影响,表现出其数量在虎门附近海域低,随着咸淡水混合程度的加剧逐渐增大的分布特征;超微型浮游植物叶绿素a在总叶绿素a中的比例也表现为河口上游低,到万山群岛附近海域达到最大,推测近海高光照、低营养盐更适宜超微型藻的生长,同时也说明超微型浮游植物适应贫营养环境的生态特点.     

北京市妫水河浮游动物群落结构与水质评价

由于浮游动物对水体环境变化敏感,可表征水体污染程度,因此在2017年对妫水河浮游动物群落结构进行调查研究,分析了浮游动物群落结构时空变化特征及其与环境因子的关系,并利用生物学评价方法对水质进行评价。结果表明:妫水河浮游动物有4门22属88种,其中原生动物种类最多,为42种,主要以轮虫和原生动物为主,浮游动物平均细胞密度和生物量分别为5041.58个/L和2.88 mg/L。浮游动物群落结构与环境因子的CCA分析显示,水温、pH、DO和氨氮是影响妫水河浮游动物群落结构变化的重要因素,其中裂痕龟纹轮虫、冠饰异尾轮虫和螺形龟甲轮虫等对水体中氮磷的相关性极为显著,具有富营养化指示作用,可作为监测水质的指示生物。妫水河浮游动物多样性指数H、均匀度指数J和丰富度指数D全年平均值分别为0.43、0.31和0.41,整体评价结果显示,妫水河水体处于中到富营养型水平,尤其是下段城区段污染严重,表明妫水河水体生态功能遭到破坏,水质还需进一步改善和治理。本研究结果可为妫水河水质评价、水环境监测及水污染治理提供基础数据资料和理论依据。
