The distribution of mangrove biomass and forest structure along Shark River estuary in the Florida Coastal Everglades (FCE)
has been correlated with elevated total phosphorus concentration in soils thought to be associated with storm events. The
passage of Hurricane Wilma across Shark River estuary in 2005 allowed us to quantify sediment deposition and nutrient inputs
in FCE mangrove forests associated with this storm event and to evaluate whether these pulsing events are sufficient to regulate
nutrient biogeochemistry in mangrove forests of south Florida. We sampled the spatial pattern of sediment deposits and their
chemical properties in mangrove forests along FCE sites in December 2005 and October 2006. The thickness (0.5 to 4.5 cm) of
hurricane sediment deposits decreased with distance inland at each site. Bulk density, organic matter content, total nitrogen
(N) and phosphorus (P) concentrations, and inorganic and organic P pools of hurricane sediment deposits differed from surface
(0–10 cm) mangrove soils at each site. Vertical accretion resulting from this hurricane event was eight to 17 times greater
than the annual accretion rate (0.30 ± 0.03 cm year−1) averaged over the last 50 years. Total P inputs from storm-derived sediments were equivalent to twice the average surface
soil nutrient P density (0.19 mg cm−3). In contrast, total N inputs contributed 0.8 times the average soil nutrient N density (2.8 mg cm−3). Allochthonous mineral inputs from Hurricane Wilma represent a significant source of sediment to soil vertical accretion
rates and nutrient resources in mangroves of southwestern Everglades. The gradient in total P deposition to mangrove soils
from west to east direction across the FCE associated with this storm event is particularly significant to forest development
due to the P-limited condition of this carbonate ecosystem. This source of P may be an important adaptation of mangrove forests
in the Caribbean region to projected impacts of sea-level rise. 相似文献

Nitrogen and phosphorus mineralization in sediments of Taihu Lake after the removal of light fraction organic matter 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0

Mineralization of organic matter (OM) in sediment is crucial for biogeochemical cycle of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) in
lake ecosystem. Light fraction OM (LFOM) is a reactive pool in sediment and is considered as labile fraction contributing
to N and P cycling. In our study, the effect of LFOM on the process and characteristics of N and P mineralization in sediments
of Taihu Lake were investigated with 77-day waterlogged incubation plus intermittent leaching at 27°C. Sediments from Yuantouzhu
(Y) and Gonghu (G) were used, which were removed the LF. Results indicated that the organic nitrogen mineralized ranged from
14.3 to 19.5% of total nitrogen (193.49–378.93 mg kg−1 sediment) and the organic phosphorus mineralized ranged from 5.7 to 7.9% of total phosphorus (19.86–60.65 mg kg−1 sediment). The heavily polluted sediment had a higher mineralization rate and net mineral-N and mineral-P than slightly polluted
sediment. LF stimulated the initial amounts of inorganic N and P and also can be the potential source for mineralization.
After the LFOM removal, the net mineral-N of Y and G decreased 116.47 mg kg−1 sediment and 48.03 mg kg−1sediment, respectively, and the net mineral-P decreased 2.67 mg kg−1sediment for Y and 4.82 mg kg−1sediment for G. Two models were used to fit the observed mineral-N data vs. incubation days using a non-linear regression
procedure: one is the effective cumulated temperature model, a thermodynamic model which assumes that N mineralization is
affected by temperature; the other is the single first-order exponential model, which is a dynamic model. Based on root mean
square error values for the two models, the effective cumulated temperature model made a better prediction of N mineralization
than the other model for all the four treatments. The single first-order exponential model underestimated N mineralization
during the first 14 days and the last 21 days, and overestimated it in the other days during the 77-day incubation. This indicated
that temperature was the primary factor influencing N mineralization and the amount of mineral-N were correlated significantly
with the effective cumulated temperature (T ≥ 15°C) and incubation time when waterlogged incubation plus intermittent leaching was used. 相似文献

Drilling fluids are used for drilling natural gas, oil and water wells. These spill over into the surrounding soil at the
point of drilling, which may impair soil health. A laboratory investigation was carried out to determine the effect of non
aqueous drilling fluid (NADF) and synthetic base oil used with it on soil health as indicated by the dehydrogenase activity.
A non-sterile sandy loam soil was treated with different amounts of NADF and base oil at a rate of 800, 8,000 and 16,000 mg kg−1. Initially, reduction in dehydrogenase activity was observed, but it increased with the incubation time. On the 60th day
of incubation dehydrogenase activity in untreated control was 1.04 mg TPF g−1 h−1 whereas in the soil samples treated with NADF and the base oil (16,000 mg kg−1), the activity was 1.53 mg TPF h−1 and 1.90 mg TPF h−1, respectively, which was 72 and 82% more than in untreated control. Base oil-treated soil showed more dehydrogenase activity
than that observed with NADF. Both NADF and base oil stimulated the soil dehydrogenase activity. 相似文献

The Sarcheshmeh copper mine smelter plant is one of the biggest copper producers in Iran. Long-time operation of about 25 years
of the smelter plant causes release of potentially toxic heavy metals into the environment. In this paper, geochemical distribution
of toxic heavy metals in 28 soil samples was evaluated around the Sarcheshmeh smelter plant. Soils developed over the nonmineralized
and uncontaminated areas have an average background concentration of 41.25 mg kg−1 Cu, 26.6 mg kg−1 As, 12.7 mg kg−1 Pb, 0.9 mg kg−1 Sb, 1.9 mg kg−1 Mo, 1.7 mg kg−1 Sn, 0.2 mg kg−1 Cd, 0.15 mg kg−1 Bi, 235 mg kg−1 S and 73.4 mg kg−1 Zn, respectively. As a result of smelting process, the upper soil layers (0–5 cm) were polluted by Cu (>1,397 mg kg−1), Cd (>3.42 mg kg−1), S (>821 mg kg−1), Mo (>10.3 mg kg−1), Sb (>11.7 mg kg−1), As (>120.6 mg kg−1), Pb (>83.8 mg kg−1), Zn (>214.9 mg kg−1), and Sn (>3.7 mg kg−1), respectively. These values are much higher than the normal concentration of the elements in the uncontaminated soil layers.
The elemental values decrease with distance travelled away of the smelter plant, especially at minimum wind direction. Furthermore,
high contaminated values of Cu (8,430 mg kg−1), As (500 mg kg−1), Pb (331 mg kg−1), Mo (61 mg kg−1), Sb (56.2 mg kg−1), Zn (664 mg kg−1), Cd (17.2 mg kg−1), Bi (13.4 mg kg−1), and S (3,780 mg kg−1) were observed in the upper soil layers close to the smelting waste dumps. Sequential extraction analysis shows that about
270 mg kg−1 Cu, 28 mg kg−1 Pb, 50.33 mg kg−1 Zn, and 47.84 mg kg−1 As were adsorbed by Fe and Mn oxides. The carbonate phases include 151 mg kg−1 Cu, 28 mg kg−1 Pb, 25 mg kg−1 Zn, and 32.99 mg kg−1 As. Organic matter adsorbed 314.6 mg kg−1 Cu and 29.18 mg kg−1 Zn. 相似文献

Forests play a primary role in the cycling and storage of mercury (Hg) in terrestrial ecosystems. This study aimed to assess differences in Hg cycling and storage resulting from different vegetation at two adjacent forest stands - beech and spruce. The study site Načetín in the Czech Republic's Black Triangle received high atmospheric loadings of Hg from coal combustion in the second half of the 20th century as documented by peat accumulation rates reaching 100 μg m−2 y−1. In 2004, the annual litterfall Hg flux was 22.5 μg m−2 y−1 in the beech stand and 14.5 μg m−2 y−1 in the spruce stand. Soil concentrations and pools of Hg had a strong positive relation to soil organic matter and concentrations of soil sulfur (S) and nitrogen (N). O-horizon Hg concentrations ranged from 245 to 495 μg kg−1 and were greater in the spruce stand soil, probably as a result of greater dry Hg deposition. Mineral soil Hg concentrations ranged from 51 to 163 μg kg−1 and were greater in the beech stand soil due to its greater capacity to store organic carbon (C). The Hg/C ratio increased with depth from 0.3 in the O-horizon to 3.8 μg g−1 in the C horizon of spruce soil and from 0.7 to 2.7 μg g−1 in beech soil. The Hg/C ratio was greater at all mineral soil depths in the spruce stand. The organic soil Hg pools in beech and spruce stands (6.4 and 5.7 mg m−2, respectively) were considerably lower than corresponding mineral soil Hg pools (39.1 and 25.8 mg m−2). Despite the important role of S in Hg cycling, differences in soil Hg distribution at both stands could not be attributed to differences in soil sulfur speciation. 相似文献

Compositional fractionation of polyaromatic hydrocarbons in the karst soils, South China 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Yinghui Wang Rui Xue Jie Li Hongxiang Zhu Yiyin Xu Baoming Xue Shihua Qi Daoxian Yuan Oramah I. Theodore 《Environmental Earth Sciences》2012,66(7):2013-2019
This study aims to explore the condensation and fractionation trends of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in the karst soils. The tiankeng is a karst surface expression that can act as a focal point for introduction of contaminants to a karst aquifer, which may serve both as condenser for vapor phase POPs and as barrier/sink for particulate associated less volatile POPs. The fractionation of POPs in soils from the upper rim and floor of tiankeng is of interest in understanding the role of tiankeng in the long-distance transport of POPs. In the present study, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the surface soils from the upper rim and floor of Dashiwei tiankeng in Southern China were analyzed. The total PAH concentrations in soils were 23.40–190 ng g−1, with phenanthrene being the most abundant. The distribution patterns of PAH compounds in the soil samples matched well with their properties. It indicated the heavy PAHs were susceptible to retention by the floor soils of tiankeng than light PAHs. A plot of Cfloor/Crim against PAH molecular weight gave a good positive relationship in the molecular weight range of 152–276. It is suggested that the floor soils can be focal points of more concentrated PAH and deserve attention. The concentrations of total PAHs in the floor soils (43.40–190 ng g−1, mean 87.76 ng g−1) were higher than those in the upper rim (23.40–88.94 ng g−1, mean 57.74 ng g−1). In addition, there was a shift in compound pattern with an increase in the proportion of light PAHs (2–3 rings), a decrease in heavy PAHs (5–6 rings) and a relatively stable content of 4-ring PAHs. A combination of particulate scavenging and cold condensation is proposed as the major mechanism for the compositional fractionation of PAHs in the soils from the upper rim and floor of tiankeng. 相似文献

Effect of addition of organic residues on phosphorus release kinetics in some calcareous soils of western Iran 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
We investigated the effects on phosphorus (P) release of the addition of potato, wheat, and sunflower residues and fruit compost
to five calcareous soils. Residue was added at the rate of 20 g kg−1. After 2 months of incubation, P values in control and amended soils were used for kinetic studies and fractionated by a
sequential extraction procedure. The relative contribution of available P fraction (KCl-P) increased from 1.4% in control
soils to 1.8%, 1.9%, 2.2%, and 2.3% in soils amended by fruit, wheat, potato, and sunflower residue addition, respectively,
indicating that organic residues increased P in this fraction. In soils amended with different residues, the percentage of
Olsen-P released over 86-h successive extractions with 0.01 M CaCl2 ranged from 57.6% for fruit residue addition (average of five soils) to 60.5% for potato residue addition. The ability of
residues to release P depended on the soil properties, with 21.9 mg kg−1 (average of all residues) released to soil 2 and 77.4 mg kg−1 released to soil 4. Also residues behaved differently, with 31.5 mg kg−1 (average of five soils) released by fruit residues and 40.0 mg kg−1 released by sunflower residues. Release of P was best described by a parabolic diffusion model. The corresponding rate constant
(mg kg−1 h−1/2) for P release for amended soils, defined as the release rate averaged for five soils, was found to decrease in the order:
potato (2.73) > sunflower (2.61) > wheat (2.56) > fruit (2.50). The present study demonstrates that addition of residues improves
P availability of these calcareous soils by increasing extractable P and the release rate and could be an alternative, indigenous
source of P. However, the increase in P availability and the release rate following organic residue application suggests high
potential mobility to water sources. 相似文献

The impact of acid rain on phosphorus leaching from a sandy loam calcareous soil of western Iran 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Simulated acidic precipitation (1:1 equivalent basis H2SO4:HNO3) at pH values of 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0 and 7.0 were conducted using column leaching to determine impacts of simulated
acid rain on phosphorus (P) leaching from a calcareous sandy loam soil over a 40-day period. Soil columns were irrigated every
day to make a total of 1,061 mm, equivalent to 3.5 years of rainfall (based on average annual rainfall). Leachates were collected
and analyzed for anions and cations. There was significant nonlinear correlation between the amount of P leached and the simulated
acid rain (R
2 = 0.61). Losses of P from the pH 2.5 and 7.0 treatments were 1.23, and 1.32 mg kg−1, respectively. The results showed that the amount of P leached from pH 4 (1.46 mg kg−1) and 5 treatments (1.52 mg−1 kg−1) were significantly larger than other treatments. Linear equation adequately described leaching of P in different treatments.
The slope (mg kg−1 day−1) in the linear equation was defined as the leaching rate and for the pH 2.5 was 0.0354, and 0.0382 and 0.0406 for pH 4.5
and 7.0, respectively. The geochemical code Visual MINTEQ was used to calculate saturation indices. Leaching of P in different
treatments was controlled by rate-limited dissolution of hydroxyapatite, β-tricalcium phosphate and to some extent octacalcium
phosphate. The results indicate that acid rain in calcareous sandy loam soils may pose a risk in terms of groundwater contamination
with P. 相似文献

Soil nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium concentrations accurately revealed spatial distribution maps and site-specific management-prone
areas through inverse distance weighting (IDW) method in the Amik Plain, Turkey. Spatial mapping of soil nitrogen, phosphorous,
and potassium is a very severe need to develop an economically and environmentally sound soil management plans. The objectives
of this study were (a) to map spatial variability of total N, available P, and exchangeable-K content of Amik Plain’s soils
and (b) to locate problematic areas requiring site specific management strategies for the nutrient elements. Spatial analyses
of Kjeldhal-N, Olsen-P, and exchangeable-K concentrations of the soils were performed by the IDW method. Mean N content for
surface soils (0–20 cm) was 1.38 g kg−1, available P was 28.19 kg ha−1 and exchangeable-K was 690 kg ha−1 with the differences between maximum and minimum being 7.63 g N kg−1, 242 kg P ha−1, and 2,082 kg K ha−1. For the surface soil, site-specific management-prone areas of Kjeldahl-N, Olsen-P, and exchangeable-K for “low and high + very
high” classes were found to be 20.1–17.8%, 24.7–10.0%, and 4.1–39.6%, respectively. Consequently, lands with excessive nutrient
elements require preventive-leaching practices, whereas nutrient-poor areas need fertilizer applications in favor of increasing
plant production. 相似文献

This study was designed to investigate non-point source nutrient pollution and its influences on submerged aquatic plant community
structure and biological invasion in the Weeks Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve (WBNERR). A monthly vegetation survey
was conducted to document plant abundance and changes in community structure; physicochemical data and water samples were
collected on a bi-monthly basis to monitor environmental conditions (i.e., pH, salinity, dissolved oxygen, light intensity,
and attenuation) and water column nutrient (NO2−/NO3− and NH4+) and chlorophyll a concentrations. A total of seven submerged aquatic species were identified at the WBNERR with the occurrence of only one
non-native species (Hydrilla verticillata). Statistical analyses suggest that water column nitrogen concentrations along with variations in dissolved oxygen (0.6–11.5 mg L−1), light attenuation, pH (5.6–8.6), and temperature (11–33°C) play key roles in determining the aquatic plant abundance and
distribution in the WBNERR. 相似文献

Coal handling, crushing, washing, and other processes of coal beneficiation liberate coal particulate matter, which would
ultimately contaminate the nearby soils. In this study, an attempt was made to determine the status of soil bio-indicators
in the surroundings of a coal beneficiation plant, (in relation to a control site). The coal beneficiation plant is located
at Sudamudih, and the control site is 5 km away from the contaminated site, which is located in the colony of Central Institute
of Mining and Fuel Research Institute, Digwadih, Dhanbad. In order to estimate the impact of coal deposition on soil biochemical
characteristics and to identify the most sensitive indicator, soil samples were taken from the contaminated and the control
sites, and analyzed for soil organic carbon (SOC), soil N, soil basal respiration (BSR), substrate-induced respiration (SIR),
and soil enzymes like dehydrogenase (DHA), catalase (CAT), phenol oxidase (PHE), and peroxidase (PER). Coal deposition on
soils improved the SOC from 10.65 to 50.17 g kg−1, CAT from 418.1 to 804.11 μg H2O2 g−1 h−1, BSR from 8.5 to 36.15 mg CO2–C kg−1 day−1, and SIR from 24.3 to 117.14 mg CO2–C kg−1 day−1. Soils receiving coal particles exhibited significant decrease in DHA (36.6 to 4.22 μg TPF g−1 h−1), PHE (0.031 to 0.017 μM g−1 h−1), PER (0.153 to 0.006 μM g−1 h−1), and soil N (55.82 to 26.18 kg ha−1). Coal depositions significantly (P < 0.01) decreased the DHA to 8.8 times, PHE to 1.8 times, and PER to 25.5 times, but increased the SOC to 4.71 times, CAT
to 1.9 times, SIR to 4.82 times, and BSR to 4.22 times. Based on principal component analysis and sensitivity test, soil peroxidase
(an enzyme that plays a vital role in the degradation of the aromatic organic compounds) is found to be the most important
indicator that could be considered as biomarkers for coal-contaminated soils. 相似文献

The Cu–Co–Ni Texeo mine has been the most important source of Cu in NW Spain since Roman times and now, approximately 40,000 m3 of wastes from mine and metallurgical operations, containing average concentrations of 9,263 mg kg−1 Cu, 1,100 mg kg−1 As, 549 mg kg−1 Co, and 840 mg kg−1 Ni, remain on-site. Since the cessation of the activity, the abandoned works, facilities and waste piles have been posing
a threat to the environment, derived from the release of toxic elements. In order to assess the potential environmental pollution
caused by the mining operations, a sequential sampling strategy was undertaken in wastes, soil, surface and groundwater, and
sediments. First, screening field tools were used to identify hotspots, before defining formal sampling strategies; so, in
the areas where anomalies were detected in a first sampling stage, a second detailed sampling campaign was undertaken. Metal
concentrations in the soils are highly above the local background, reaching up to 9,921 mg kg−1 Cu, 1,373 mg kg−1 As, 685 mg kg−1 Co, and 1,040 mg kg−1 Ni, among others. Copper concentrations downstream of the mine works reach values up to 1,869 μg l−1 and 240 mg kg−1 in surface water and stream sediments, respectively. Computer-based risk assessment for the site gives a carcinogenic risk
associated with the presence of As in surface waters and soils, and a health risk for long exposures; so, trigger levels of
these elements are high enough to warrant further investigation. 相似文献

Phytoplankton Biomass and Production in Subtropical Hong Kong Waters: Influence of the Pearl River Outflow 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Alvin Y. T. Ho Jie Xu Kedong Yin Yuelu Jiang Xiangcheng Yuan Lei He Donald M. Anderson Joseph H. W. Lee Paul J. Harrison 《Estuaries and Coasts》2010,33(1):170-181
The size-fractionated phytoplankton biomass and primary production were investigated in four contrasting areas of Hong Kong
waters in 2006. Phytoplankton biomass and production varied seasonally in response to the influence of the Pearl River discharge.
In the dry season, the phytoplankton biomass and production were low (<42 mg chl m−2 and <1.8 g C m−2 day−1) in all four areas, due to low temperatures and dilution and reduced light availability due to strong vertical mixing. In
contrast, in the wet season, in the river-impacted western areas, the phytoplankton biomass and production increased greater
than five-fold compared to the dry season, especially in summer. In summer, algal biomass was 15-fold higher than in winter,
and the mean integrated primary productivity (IPP) was 9 g C m−2 day−1 in southern waters due to strong stratification, high temperatures, light availability, and nutrient input from the Pearl
River estuary. However, in the highly flushed western waters, chl a and IPP were lower (<30 mg m−2 and 4 g C m−2 day−1, respectively) due to dilution. The maximal algal biomass and primary production occurred in southern waters with strong
stratification and less flushing. Spring blooms (>10 μg chl a L−1) rarely occurred despite the high chl-specific photosynthetic rate (mostly >10 μg C μg chl a
−1 day−1) as the accumulation of algal biomass was restricted by active physical processes (e.g., strong vertical mixing and freshwater
dilution). Phytoplankton biomass and production were mostly dominated by the >5-μm size fraction all year except in eastern
waters during spring and mostly composed of fast-growing chain-forming diatoms. In the stratified southern waters in summer,
the largest algal blooms occurred in part due to high nutrient inputs from the Pearl River estuary. 相似文献

Hyperaccumulation of lead,zinc, and cadmium in plants growing on a lead/zinc outcrop in Yunnan Province,China 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
A field survey was conducted to identify potential hyperaccumulators of Pb, Zn or Cd in the Beichang Pb/Zn mine outcrop in
Yunnan Province, China. The average total concentrations of Pb, Zn, and Cd in the soils were up to 28,438, 5,109, and 52 mg kg−1, respectively. A total of 68 plant species belonging to 60 genera of 37 families naturally colonizing the outcrop were recorded.
According to metal accumulation in the plants and translocation factor (TF), Silene viscidula was identified as potential hyperaccumulator of Pb, Zn, and Cd with mean shoot concentrations of 3,938 mg kg−1 of Pb (TF = 1.2), 11,155 mg kg−1 of Zn (TF = 1.8) and 236 mg kg−1 of Cd (TF = 1.1), respectively; S. gracilicanlis (Pb 3,617 mg kg−1, TF = 1.2) and Onosma paniculatum (Pb 1,837 mg kg−1, TF = 1.9) were potential Pb hyperaccumulators. Potentilla griffithii (Zn 8,748 mg kg−1, TF = 1.5) and Gentiana sp. (Zn 19,710 mg kg−1, TF = 2.7) were potential Zn hyperaccumulators. Lysimachia deltoides (Cd 212 mg kg−1, TF = 3.2) was a potential Cd hyperaccumulator. These new plant resources could be used to explore the mechanisms of Pb,
Zn and/or Cd hyperaccumulation, and the findings could be applied for the phytoremediation of Pb, Zn and/or Cd-contaminated
soils. 相似文献

Speciation and phytoavailability of heavy metals in sediments in Nanjing section of Changjiang River 总被引:3,自引:1,他引:2
Heavy metal pollution and their fractionations in the sediments of Changjiang River in Nanjing Reach was monitored for cadmium
(Cd), lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), chromium (Cr), and copper (Cu). Moreover, the biological enrichment of metals by riverine plants
was studied. The results demonstrated there were highly significant variations among different sampling stations for the concentrations
of tested metals. The highest range was for Cu (38.8–120.4 mg kg−1), followed by Cr (74.4–120.0 mg kg−1), Zn (80.9–121.1 mg kg−1), Ni (26.0–55.5 mg kg−1), Pb (15.8–46.7 mg kg−1) and Cd (0.28–0.48 mg kg−1). Cd was the element with highest biological enrichment factor (BEF). The highest BEF of Cd in Erigeron bonariensis reached 3.0, indicating a significant Cd enrichment in this aquatic plant. In addition, 60% of Cd was found in reducible
fraction and exchangeable and acid-soluble fraction, which was consistent with its high mobility. The consistency of Cd fraction
in sediment and suspended particle indicated they came from the same source. Accumulated Cd concentration calculated according
to the release curve showed significant relativity with the total Cd concentration in the sediment. 相似文献

With the aim of evaluating temporal changes in sedimentation and organic carbon (Corg) supplied over the last ~100 years, a sediment core was collected at Soledad Lagoon, a costal ecosystem surrounded by mangroves,
located in the Cispatá Estuary (Caribbean coast of Colombia). The core sediments were characterized by low concentrations
of calcium carbonate (0.2–2.9%), organic matter (3–8%), total nitrogen (0.11–0.38%), and total phosphorus (0.19–0.65 mg g−1). Fe and Al concentrations ranged from 4% to 5%, and Mn from 356 to 1,047 μg g−1. The 210Pb-derived sediment and mass accumulation rates were 1.54 ± 0.18 mm year−1 and 0.08 ± 0.01 g cm−2 year−1, respectively. The sediment core did not provide evidence of human impact, such as enhancement of primary production or nutrient
enrichment, which may result from recent land uses changes or climate change. The Corg fluxes estimated for Soledad Lagoon core lay in the higher side of carbon fluxes to coastal ecosystems (314–409 g m−2 year−1) and the relatively high Corg preservation observed (~45%) indicate that these lagoon sediments has been a net and efficient sink of Corg during the last century, which corroborate the importance of mangrove areas as important sites for carbon burial and therefore,
long-term sequestration of Corg. 相似文献

Nitrate contamination of groundwater in an agroecosystem in Zhangye Oasis,Northwest China 总被引:5,自引:2,他引:3
In order to assess the extent of groundwater contamination by nitrate (NO3
−–N) and to provide information about the deterioration of the groundwater quality in Zhangye Oasis, Northwest China, a study
was conducted in this area. The mean value of NO3
−–N concentrations in groundwater samples was 10.66 ± 0.19 mg l−1. NO3
−–N concentrations exceeding 10 mg l−1 (the threshold for drinking water set by the World Health Organization) were found in 32.4% of 71 wells, and were 13, 33.3,
52.4 and 50.0% in the groundwater samples from drinking wells, irrigation wells, hand-pumping wells and groundwater table
observation wells, respectively. The result showed that the groundwater samples that had NO3
−–N concentrations exceeding the threshold for drinking water were mostly collected from a depth of less than 20 m. Groundwater
NO3
−–N concentrations in areas used for the cultivation of vegetables, seed maize and intercropped maize were significantly higher
than those in urban or paddy areas. NO3
−–N contamination of groundwater in areas with sandy soil was more severe than in those with loam soil. 相似文献

Green plants play an important role in energy flows and material cycles. The net primary productivity (NPP) reflects the capability
of vegetation to convert solar energy into photosynthate (fixed carbon). Understanding the factors that contribute to variations
in NPP is of key importance for improving the rock-desertification environment in karst areas. In this paper, the NPP model
(Light Use Efficiency model) is modified on the basis of remote sensing data [moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer
(MODIS)], climate data and observed information. Then the model is employed to estimate the spatial–temporal variations of
NPP in the Guizhou Province, China. Finally, the NPP differences between karst area and non-karst area, and the relationships
between NPP and climate factors are analyzed. The results show that the NPP estimated using MODIS data are reasonable. The
mean NPP of territorial vegetation is 421.46 gC m−2 year−1; the NPP in the non-karst area is 13.3% higher than that in the karst area; the correlation degree between NPP and precipitation
is better in southeastern and western districts. 相似文献

Heavy metal concentrations and their possible sources in paddy soils of a modern agricultural zone,southeastern China 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
In a typical modern agricultural Zone of southeastern China, Haining City, 224 topsoil samples were collected from paddy fields
to measure the total concentrations of copper (Cu), lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), mercury (Hg), arsenic
(As) and cobalt (Co). The total concentrations ranged from 15.30 to 78.40 mg kg−1 for Cu, 20.10 to 41.40 mg kg−1 for Pb, 54.98 to 224.4 mg kg−1 for Zn, 0.04 to 0.24 mg kg−1 for Cd, 54.90 to 197.1 mg kg−1 for Cr, 0.03 to 0.61 mg kg−1 for Hg, 3.44 to 15.28 mg kg−1 for As, and 7.17 to 19.00 mg kg−1 for Co. Chemometric techniques and geostatistics were utilized to quantify their spatial characteristics and define their
possible sources. All eight metals had a moderate spatial dependency except that Pb had a strong spatial dependency. Both
factor analysis and cluster analysis successfully classified the eight metals into three groups or subgroups, the first group
included Cu, Zn and Cr, the second group included Cd, As and Co, and the last group included Pb and Hg. The Cu, Zn and Cr
concentrations in majority samples were higher than their local background concentrations and they were highly correlated
(r > 0.80), indicating that they had similar pollution source and anthropic factor controlled their spatial distribution; the
Cd, As and Co concentrations in majority samples were lower than their local background concentrations, indicating that the
source of these elements was mainly controlled by natural factors; the mean concentration of Pb exhibited generally low level,
close to its local background concentration, the Hg concentration in about half of samples was higher than its local background
concentration, and they were poor correlated with the other metals, indicating that the source of Pb and Hg was common controlled
by natural factor and anthropic factor. 相似文献

The rare earth elements (REEs) in the sediments of the Xianghai wetlands were measured by inductively coupled plasma spectrometry.
The REEs accumulation rates in two sedimentation cores derived from the riparian and depressional marshes were determined
by 210Pb method. The results showed that REEs concentrations in the Xianghai wetland sediments (∑REEs, 116 mg kg−1) were lower than the corresponding values in Chinese soils (181 mg kg−1) and river sediments (∑REEs, 158–191 mg kg−1). Under alkaline conditions (with pH, 8.2–10.3), the light REEs were more enriched than the heavy REEs. Cerium is the predominant
element, and accounts for 30–33% of the total REEs. REEs in the depressional marsh sediments were relatively high (∑REEs,
127 vs. 104 mg kg−1), especially light REEs contents. A significantly positive correlation was found between the neighboring elements except
Pr and Dy. The different types of vertical distribution of REEs between the riparian and the depressional marsh can partly
result from long-term differing hydrological regimes. Generally, depressional marsh had accumulated much more REEs than riparian
marsh (the mean accumulation rates of ∑REEs, 102.98 vs. 48.89 μg cm−2 year−1). 相似文献
