Currently, the weakened connectivity of wetland ecosystems is the most important factor leading to the destruction, degradation, and disappearance of wetlands. Studying changes in wetland ecosystems connectivity enables the understanding the hydrological processes in wetland ecosystems and provides significant support for the study of ecological water demand. However, recent research on the connectivity of wetland ecosystems has primarily focused on intuitive Heilongjiang River Basin in China (HRBC) connectivity in terms of hydrology and geomorphology, while the impact of wetland ecosystems on habitats has been ignored. The present study applied an innovative method to evaluate and regulate the stereoscopic spatial connectivity (SSC) of the wetland ecosystems in the HRBC. In this method, the water requirements of typical organisms in the region were considered, and the hydrological trends in the wetland ecosystems along with the status of the SSC were analysed using remote sensing images. A regulation mode for improving the stereoscopic spatial connectivity index (SSCI) was proposed. The results revealed that over the past 35 years, the wetland ecosystems in the study area shrank significantly, with the SSCI decreasing from 41.30% in 1980 to 35.08% in 2015. By comparing the correlations among temperature, precipitation, agricultural land, construction land, and the wetland ecosystems during the same period, it was proven that human activity serves as the major driving force behind the observed loss of wetlands in the system. Subsequently, the key protected areas needing protection to maintain the SSC of the wetland ecosystems were clarified, and the key recovery areas were determined based on three scenarios featuring high, medium, and low feasibility, which greatly improved the SSCI and generalization route after regulation. In general, the proposed SSC evaluation and regulation method is widely applicable to all kinds of wetland ecosystems located on animal habitat and migration routes, which can fully reflect the ecological effects of wetland ecosystems, and this method has certain reference significance for the evaluation and regulation of wetland ecosystems in other regions. 相似文献

Conflicts between ecosystems and human needs for fresh water are increasing. The purpose of this paper is to raise awareness in the hydrogeologic community of environmental flows (EFs) and to address the major challenges involved in their protection. Ground water is a key component of EFs, and therefore hydrogeologists are called upon to get involved in the ongoing debates about maintaining healthy riverine ecosystems. Promising opportunities for achieving EFs in both underallocated and overallocated basins as well as new methods for protecting fresh water ecosystems developed in different countries are outlined. EF protection measures include private water trusts, "upside-down instream flow water rights," the "public trust" doctrine, and water markets, among other measures. A number of knowledge gaps are identified, to which hydrogeologists could contribute, such as our rudimentary knowledge about ground water-dependent ecosystems, aspects of stream-aquifer interactions, and the impacts of land-use changes. The values that society places on the different uses of water ultimately determine where the water is allocated. EF requirements can be legitimately recognized and addressed by basing the environmental needs of hydrologic systems on robust science, focusing on increasing the productivity of water use, engaging society in understanding the benefits and costs of decisions that affect ecosystems, and taking advantage of various opportunities for achieving EF goals. 相似文献

Banking carbon: a review of organic carbon storage and physical factors influencing retention in floodplains and riparian ecosystems 
下载免费PDF全文
下载免费PDF全文 Rivers are dynamic components of the terrestrial carbon cycle and provide important functions in ecosystem processes. Although rivers act as conveyers of carbon to the oceans, rivers also retain carbon within riparian ecosystems along floodplains, with potential for long‐term (> 102 years) storage. Research in ecosystem processing emphasizes the importance of organic carbon (OC) in river systems, and estimates of OC fluxes in terrestrial freshwater systems indicate that a significant portion of terrestrial carbon is stored within river networks. Studies have examined soil OC on floodplains, but research that examines the potential mechanistic controls on OC storage in riparian ecosystems and floodplains is more limited. We emphasize three primary OC reservoirs within fluvial systems: (1) standing riparian biomass; (2) dead biomass as large wood (LW) in the stream and on the floodplain; (3) OC on and beneath the floodplain surface, including litter, humus, and soil organic carbon (SOC). This review focuses on studies that have framed research questions and results in the context of OC retention, accumulation and storage within the three primary pools along riparian ecosystems. In this paper, we (i) discuss the various reservoirs for OC storage in riparian ecosystems, (ii) discuss physical conditions that facilitate carbon retention and storage in riparian ecosystems, (iii) provide a synthesis of published OC storage in riparian ecosystems, (iv) present a conceptual model of the conditions that favor OC storage in riparian ecosystems, (v) briefly discuss human impacts on OC storage in riparian ecosystems, and (vi) highlight current knowledge gaps.

Paleoecological studies of small water bodies were carried out in a model subarctic lake-river system. The degree of transformations of aquatic ecosystems under a set of anthropogenic factors is shown to vary depending on the load and individual features of water bodies. Data on the state of aquatic ecosystems before the industrial development of the region are collected. The species composition of diatom algae and their ecological characteristics are examined. 相似文献

Plankton of the Baltic estuarine ecosystems with emphasis on Neva Estuary: a review of present knowledge and research perspectives 总被引：6，自引：0，他引：6
Telesh IV 《Marine pollution bulletin》2004,49(3):206-219
Different levels of eutrophication and pollution in the Baltic coastal waters in general, and in estuaries particularly define variations in the buffering capacity of ecosystems of these important filter zones between rivers and the adjacent Baltic Proper. Phyto- and zooplankton in the estuaries form important components of the pelagic food webs that participate in producing and structuring the matter, energy, and information fluxes in the ecosystems. Due to salinity gradients, estuaries provide a large variety of aquatic habitats for native populations of marine, brackish and fresh water plankton species. Non-indigenous planktonic species that expand their bio-geographical range and invade the Baltic coastal ecosystems also find favourable environments, establish permanent populations there, and impact aboriginal ecosystems. The dynamics of abundance, species diversity, population structure, productivity of planktonic communities, and peculiarities of trophic interactions in different Baltic estuaries are influenced by a number of common environmental factors. Being measured on the unified basis and monitored, changes (or stability) of structural and functional parameters of plankton communities can serve as indicators of alterations to the ecosystems. Comparative analyses and quantitative estimates of long-term changes in phyto- and zooplankton can contribute to evaluation of functional response of Baltic coastal ecosystems to anthropogenic stress. Both theoretical (modeling) and empirical studies of interactions within plankton communities aimed at the assessment of the role of planktonic organisms in water quality regulation, and applicability of these data for the evaluation of the status of ecosystems and their management can be considered as major goals for the future investigations in Baltic estuaries. 相似文献

Interactions between climate change and contaminants 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
There is now general consensus that climate change is a global threat and a challenge for the 21st century. More and more information is available demonstrating how increased temperature may affect aquatic ecosystems and living resources or how increased water levels may impact coastal zones and their management. Many ecosystems are also affected by human releases of contaminants, for example from land based sources or the atmosphere, which also may cause severe effects. So far these two important stresses on ecosystems have mainly been discussed independently. The present paper is intended to increase awareness among scientists, coastal zone managers and decision makers that climate change will affect contaminant exposure and toxic effects and that both forms of stress will impact aquatic ecosystems and biota. Based on examples from different ecosystems, we discuss risks anticipated from contaminants in a rapidly changing environment and the research required to understand and predict how on-going and future climate change may alter risks from chemical pollution. 相似文献

On the ecohydrology of the Yucatan Peninsula: Evapotranspiration and carbon intake dynamics across an eco‐climatic gradient 下载免费PDF全文

The hydrology and productivity of the ecosystems of the Yucatan Peninsula (YP) are highly constrained by two factors: (a) the lack of surface drainage networks due to the existence of a highly permeable and connected karstic aquifer roughly the size of the peninsula and (b) a climatic gradient that leads to a transition from seasonally dry deciduous and sub‐deciduous tropical forests, in the north‐western and central parts of the Peninsula, to evergreen forests, in the southern and eastern parts. As a result, surface water fluxes of the YP are restricted to evapotranspiration (ET) that are tightly coupled to ecosystems health and gross primary productivity (GPP). The magnitude and seasonal variation of these fluxes are sensitive to climatic variability and perturbations caused by extreme events such as droughts and tropical storms that are frequent in the YP. In this study, we assess the spatio‐temporal dynamics of ET and GPP above average dry and wet conditions through time series analyses of 15 years of remotely sensed data from both Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer and Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission satellite products. Our results show that ET and GPP follow a regional moisture and temperature gradient that highly controls the distribution of ecosystems within the peninsula. We observe that ET and GPP are in phase with the rainy season in the deciduous forests, but for the evergreen forests, only the GPP is in phase. Additionally, and with the exception of droughts on deciduous ecosystems of the northern part of the YP, the productivity of these ecosystems shows a legacy effect, responding more to a defined trajectory (wetting or drying on the previous years), rather than to punctual extreme climatic events. This has implications on the resilience of these ecosystems to natural perturbations of climate. Comparisons between deciduous and evergreen forest indicate that both types of ecosystems have different plant water use strategies in response to hydrologic variability. 相似文献

A procedure for local hydrological forecasting is presented. Calculations based on prediction climate models GISS and HadCM3
for forest ecosystems on zonal ecotones between forest and steppe showed a progressive development in the XXI century of a
thermoarid trend with pronounced soil drying during the vegetation period, which should result in decay of broad-leaved and

杂食性鱼类对浅水水体底栖—浮游生境耦合作用的影响:微综述 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
浅水水体存在着强烈的底栖-浮游生境耦合作用,耦合的结果决定着水生态系统关键特征.在缺少大型水生植物的浅水系统中,底栖藻类和浮游藻类对光照和营养盐的竞争是底栖-浮游生境耦合最为重要的生态过程之一,但该过程受到杂食性鱼类的影响.本文以浅水水体的底栖-浮游生境耦合作用为切入点,综述了杂食性鱼类对浅水水体底栖-浮游生境耦合作用的影响过程及机理.一般而言,杂食性鱼类有利于提高水层营养盐浓度,促进浮游藻类生长,降低水体透明度,不利于底栖藻类竞争,从而加速水体富营养化.但不同种类的杂食性鱼类(如底栖杂食性鱼类、偏植物性饵料的杂食性鱼类、偏动物性饵料的杂食性鱼类以及小型杂食性鱼类)因食性差异,对底栖-浮游生境耦合的影响机理不同,产生的生态环境效应各异;即便同一种杂食性鱼类也可因发育阶段不同对底栖-浮游生境耦合产生不同的影响.在人类活动、全球变暖以及富营养化等多重因子胁迫下杂食性鱼类在鱼类群落结构中的比例上升,因此,杂食性鱼类对水生态环境产生的影响深远、复杂,值得持续关注. 相似文献

Regularities in the distribution of some Al compounds in surface water in different southern taiga ecosystems have been studied.
The main source of Al in surface water in both ecosystems has been shown to include the top organogenic and mineral horizons
of soils within the 40–50-cm loam deposits, underlain by moraine loam. Al concentration in surface water is 1–2 orders of
magnitude greater than that in a spring’s water. The amount of Al carried out from ecosystems with predominant occurrence
of peat-podzol-gley soils is greater that from ecosystems with dominating podzol soils. In creeks in ecosystems with peat-podzol-gley
soils, Al occurs both as a component of organoaluminum compounds and as monomeric aquahydroxocomplexes. In creeks that drain
a territory with dominating podzol soils, almost all Al occurs in complexes with organic matter. Al concentration has been
shown to have seasonal dynamics, and the concentration of toxic compounds in surface water has been predicted to increase
because of anthropogenic acidification. 相似文献

A series of field experiments were carried out in natural model ecosystems (mesocosms) with the aim to study the effect of
pollutants on processes proceeding within water body. The generalized thermodynamic state parameters used in the study were
the rate of photosynthetic production and destruction of organic matter. The ratio of destruction to primary production and
the rate of changes in this ratio were used to construct phase portraits of ecosystems. Analysis showed that the dynamics
of ecosystem states described by those characteristics corresponds to the general regularities in the evolution of the state
of dissipative structures, hence the rate of changes in the destruction-to-production ratio can be taken as a thermodynamic
criterion of evolution of aquatic ecosystems. The proposed approach allows this criterion to be used to develop methods for
standardization of ecological loads. 相似文献

Groundwater is a critical resource not only for human communities but also for many terrestrial, riparian, and aquatic ecosystems and species. Yet groundwater planning and management decisions frequently ignore or inadequately address the needs of these natural systems. As a consequence, ecosystems dependent on groundwater have been threatened, degraded, or eliminated, especially in arid regions. There is growing acknowledgment that governmental protections for these ecological resources are necessary, but current legal, regulatory and voluntary provisions are often inadequate. Groundwater management premised on “safe yield,” which aims to balance human withdrawals with natural recharge rates, typically provides little to no consideration for water needed by ecosystems. Alternatively, the “sustainable yield” concept aims to integrate social, economic and environmental needs for groundwater, but the complexity of groundwater systems creates substantial uncertainty about the impact that current or future groundwater withdrawals will have on ecosystems. Regardless of the legal or regulatory framework, guidance is needed to help ensure environmental water needs will be met, especially in the face of pressure to increase human uses of groundwater resources. In this paper, we describe minimum provisions for planning, managing, and monitoring groundwater that collectively can lower the risk of harm to groundwater-dependent ecosystems and species, with a special emphasis on arid systems, where ecosystems and species may be especially reliant upon and sensitive to groundwater dynamics. 相似文献

Carbon cycling of alpine tundra ecosystems on Changbai Mountain and its comparison with arctic tundra 总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4
The alpine tundra on Changbai Mountain was formed as a left-over ‘island’ in higher elevations after the glacier retrieved
from the mid-latitude of Northern Hemisphere to the Arctic during the fourth ice age. The alpine tundra on Changbai Mountain
also represents the best-reserved tundra ecosystems and the highest biodiversity in northeast Eurasia. This paper examines
the quantity of carbon assimilation, litters, respiration rate of soil, and storage of organic carbon within the alpine tundra
ecosystems on Changbai Mountain. The annual net storage of organic carbon was 2092 t/a, the total storage of organic carbon
was 33457 t, the annual net storage of organic carbon in soil was 1054 t/a, the total organic carbon storage was 316203 t,
and the annual respiration rate of soil was 92.9% and was 0.52 times more than that of the Arctic. The tundra-soil ecosystems
in alpine Changbai Mountain had 456081 t of carbon storage, of which, organic carbon accounted for 76.7% whereas the mineral
carbon accounted for 23.3%. 相似文献

氮稳定同位素基准的可变性及对营养级评价的影响 总被引：10，自引：2，他引：8
稳定同位素技术已经成为生态学家研究生态系统特征与过程的重要手段之一。在利用稳定同位素研究植物-动物和动物之间的营养关系或者进行多生态系统的比较研究过程中,通常需要选择某种生物的稳定同位素作为"基准(baseline)"。同位素基准的目的是反映食物网生物最初物质来源的同位素特征。同位素基准的选择取决于具体研究问题与系统。本文综述了水域生态系统研究中初级生产者和初级消费者氮稳定同位素作为基准的应用。不同的研究都根据自身所关注的生态学问题对基准进行选择和校正。然而,找到适当的同位素基准取决于同位素基准种内、种间和时空上的同位素变化特征,同时还取决于所关注的生态学问题的时间、空间尺度。本文评估了季节性和种内的同位素变异性对消费者营养级位置的影响。质量平衡模型的计算结果说明同位素基准可变性可以显著影响对消费者营养级位置的评估。 相似文献

In China urban development policies (UDP) are legislated aiming to promote the cities’ socio-economic development. Urbanization,
however, leads to urban expansion and land-use changes, which in turn affects the structure, function and processes of terrestrial
and marine ecosystems. Rizhao City, a seaport city of China, was chosen as a case study in order to study the ecological impacts
of UDP at a strategic level. Ecosystems and their components were identified and assessed. The changes of biodiversity, habitats
and ecosystem services caused by the UDP of Rizhao City were examined and analyzed. We found that UDP contributes in an essential
way to protect and maintain the ecosystems and their components when it comes to land-use change. Based on our analysis, ecosystems
as well as ecosystem services of Rizhao City are expected to be maintained in the near future with the current UDP. 相似文献

Alpine cold ecosystem with permafrost environment is quite sensitive to climatic changes and the changes in permafrost can significantly affect the alpine ecosystem. The vegetation coverage, grassland biomass and soil nutrient and texture are selected to indicate the regime of alpine cold ecosystems in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The interactions between alpine ecosystem and permafrost were investigated with the depth of active layer, permafrost thickness and mean annual ground temperature (MAGTs). Based on the statistics model of GPTR for MAGTs and annual air temperatures, an analysis method was developed to analyze the impacts of permafrost changes on the alpine ecosystems. Under the climate change and human engineering activities, the permafrost change and its impacts on alpine ecosystems in the permafrost region between the Kunlun Mountains and the Tanggula Range of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau are studied in this paper. The results showed that the per- mafrost changes have a different influence on different alpine ecosystems. With the increase in the thickness of active layer, the vegetation cover and biomass of the alpine cold meadow exhibit a significant conic reduction, the soil organic matter content of the alpine cold meadow ecosystem shows an exponential decrease, and the surface soil materials become coarse and gravelly. The alpine cold steppe ecosystem, however, seems to have a relatively weak relation to the permafrost environment. Those relationships resulted in the fact that the distribution area of alpine cold meadow decreased by 7.98% and alpine cold swamp decreased by 28.11% under the permafrost environment degradation during recent 15 years. In the future 50 years the alpine cold meadow ecosystems in different geomorphologic units may have different responses to the changes of the permafrost under different climate warming conditions, among them the alpine cold meadow and swamp ecosystem located in the low mountain and plateau area will have a relatively serious degradation. Furthermore, from the angles of grassland coverage and biological production the variation characteristics of high-cold eco- systems in different representative regions and different geomorphologic units under different climatic conditions were quantitatively assessed. In the future, adopting effective measures to protect permafrost is of vital importance to maintaining the stability of permafrost engineering and alpine cold eco- systems in the plateau. 相似文献
