The bioindication role of macropytes in the assessment of the environmental conditions of small water bodies under the conditions of a megalopolis is discussed. A comparative characteristic is given to the significance of macrophytes from different ecological groups, including hygrophytes (cattail, reed), hydrophyte (pondweed), and hydatophytes (Canada water weed, hornweed), growing in small water bodies in St. Petersburg, for the biogeochemical indication of environmental pollution by microelements (Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, Cr, Ni, Pb, and Cd) and biogenic elements (K, Ca, Na, P, S). Possible mechanisms of detoxication of heavy metal ions in macrophyte organisms and their role in the stable functioning of water bodies in urban territory under the conditions of anthropogenic pollution are discussed. The prospects of the use of macrophyte groups for the bioindication of pollution and phytoremediation of aquatic ecosystems are analyzed.  相似文献

The effect of anthropogenic pollution on the structure of benthic animal communities in the Barnaulka R. (Ob tributary) has been studied. Statistical analysis was used to assess the effect of habitat factors on macrozoobenthos structure. The structure characteristics of benthic macroinvertebrate communities and the bioindication indices calculated from them are shown to depend on the hydrophysical and hydrochemical characteristics of water and bottom sediments.  相似文献

Zonal features of water acidification in small lakes of European Russia are analyzed. The conditions under which the process can develop are evaluated. Studies of water chemistry variations and formulation of various criteria used to assess water acidification made it possible to prove the development of the process in the humid part of the area under study, i.e., in tundra, taiga, and forest regions. The leading natural and anthropogenic factors, whose combination governs the acidification mechanism and secondary effects are discussed. The concentrations of some metals (Al, Zn, Pb, and others) are proved to increase in waters with low pH, as well as at an increase in water color index. Critical loads of acid precipitation are evaluated and the values of their exceedance in lakes in different natural-climatic zones.  相似文献

The chemical features and the structure of biological communities in Lake Ladoga are considered. Comparative analysis was carried out for the species composition and biomass of phytoperiphyton, zooplankton, and zoobentbos in six Ladoga tributaries based on observational data of August 2013. The effect of natural and anthropogenic factors on the formation of the structure of river hydrobiocenoses is analyzed. The trophic status of rivers, their saprobiological state, and the significance of individual communities and biotic indices for bioindication of the ecological state of rivers are estimated.  相似文献

Data on the Ruza and Mozhaisk reservoirs are used to analyze the applicability of different sampling methods and bioindication systems for rapid water quality assessment. The collected data were analyzed with the use of twelve biotic indices and their modifications. The mean water quality estimate in the coastal zones of both reservoirs varied from “moderate” to “good” and corresponded to α-mesosaprobic zone. The best performance in saprobity assessment was demonstrated by Pantle–Buck index modified by M.V. Chertoprud in the coastal zone and Balushkina index in soft soils in the central zones of the reservoirs. It is proposed to extend the number of indicator taxa in Pantle–Buck index modified by M.V. Chertoprud by incorporating taxa typical of soft soils, in particular, Chironomid larvae from Chironomus plumosus group. Recommendations are given for carrying out express-monitoring of the state of reservoirs.  相似文献

Data on diatom complexes from bottom deposits of Lake Karakel’ (the Karachayevo-Cherkessian Republic) have been analyzed. The principle of unification of bioindication methods has been applied. The hydrological parameters of lake water (temperature, pH, and saprobithy) have been reconstructed over a period of 2000 years. The results of isotopic dating of bottom sediments have been used. For the first time for the Central Caucasus, the current and Late Holocene diatom alga complexes have been described. Photographs of the most abundant and significant lower taxa of diatom algae are given.  相似文献

Pigment concentrations (chlorophylla, chlorophyllidea and pheopigmentsa) were measured by HPLC and spectrophotometry with acidification on 57 samples collected in different marine coastal sediments, containing autochthonous microphytes, and with various organic matter contents (plant detritus, biodeposits or hydrocarbons). Statistical analysis shows that the spectrophotometry with acidification, as compared to HPLC, gives reliable values for chlorophylla. Chlorophyllidea concentrations may be considered as negligible. Though spectrophotometric methods are sometimes questioned when applied to sediments they appear to give easy, quick and good estimates of Chla contents in benthic microphytes for hydrobiological studies in coastal areas.  相似文献

Groundwater chemical data from Birkenes, southern Norway, collected during the period October 1980 to November 1993, reveal intensifying acidification in the 1990s, as evidenced by decreases in pH, acid-neutralising capacity and alkalinity, and increases in hardness/alkalinity ratio, ‘acidification’, nitrate, non-marine sulphate (SO4*), non-marine hardness (Ca* + Mg*) and dissolved aluminium. The whole monitoring period is characterised by slopes of four or more on a plot of (Ca* + Mg*) vs. alkalinity.

Owing to its proximity to the sea, the Birkenes catchment receives seasalt-influenced precipitation, which results in episodic, natural acidification of the groundwater via cation exchange of marine Na+ with soil-bound H+ and/or Al3+. However, it is uncertain whether all of the recent groundwater acidification can be attributed to intensifying seasalt deposition alone: the steep slopes on the (Ca* + Mg*) vs. alkalinity plot and the increase in groundwater SO4* suggest that strong acids, of possible anthropogenic origin, may be involved. Additionally, seasalt deposition appears not to have increased during the 1990s: Cl content in precipitation has not increased significantly and river water pH has not decreased significantly over the period 1990–1993. The suggestion is made that the observed intensification in groundwater acidification at Birkenes partly results from the exhaustion or weakening of an acid buffering system caused by soil acidification, under persisting, even if abating, anthropogenic acid loading.  相似文献

Multi-regression, hydrologic sensitivity and hydrologic model simulations were applied to quantify the climate change and anthropogenic intervention impacts on the Lower Zab River basin (LZRB). The Pettitt, precipitation-runoff double cumulative curve (PR-DCC) and Mann–Kendall methods were used for the change points and significant trend analyses in the annual streamflow. The long-term runoff series from 1979 to 2013 was first divided into two main periods: a baseline (1979–1997) and an anthropogenic intervention period (1998–2013). The findings show that the mean annual streamflow changes were consistent using the three methods. In addition, climate variability was the main driver, which led to streamflow reduction with contributions of 66–97% during 2003–2013, whereas anthropogenic interventions caused reductions of 4–34%. Moreover, to enhance the multi-model combination concept and explore the simple average method (SAM), Hydrologiska Byrans Vattenbalansavdelning (HBV), Génie Rural a Daily 4 parameters (GR4J) and Medbasin models have been successfully applied.  相似文献

ABSTRACT

Climate variability and human activities are considered to be the most likely reasons for negative trends in river inflow and the water level of some lakes and wetlands in the world. To quantify the uncertain impacts of climate variations and anthropogenic activities on Ajichay River flow in Iran, a multi-model ensemble approach based on the Bayesian model averaging (BMA) method is applied. Several statistical and simulation-based methods are used to distinguish the impacts of climatic and anthropogenic factors on river flow. The results show that almost all the methods identified human activities as the dominant impact on streamflow (about 73–85% of the change). The between-model and within-model uncertainty analyses using BMA showed that the 95% uncertainty intervals of the individual approaches have relatively large deviation ranges. The BMA mean prediction could reduce the range of between-model uncertainties to 14–27% for climate impacts and 74–80% for human impacts. This approach provides a way to better understand the contributions of climatic and anthropogenic impacts on river flow change.  相似文献

Development features of anthropogenic processes in continental waters in the Arctic Basin, including eutrophication, acidification, and toxic pollution, are characterized. The major changes in the ecosystems and the formation periods of hazardous situations are demonstrated. Criteria are suggested for the diagnostics of unfavorable processes and the need of more stringent water quality standards is substantiated.  相似文献

The role of bioassay in the pollution control system for water bodies is considered. Studies of the mechanisms of toxic impact of various chemical compounds on aquatic organisms were used to develop a bioindication method to give an integral estimate of water toxicity and determine some classes of chemical pollutants. The results of application of such methods to assessing water quality in Lake Ladoga are given.  相似文献

Submerged macrophyte vegetation has been mapped in four calcareous groundwater-fed streams in Bavaria (southern Germany) in order to compare and assess two different methods of river bioindication. The first one, the trophic index of macrophytes (TIM), is a tool to assess the trophic status of running waters. In contrast, the reference index (RI) is an ecological index which evaluates the difference between a reference community and the actual submerged vegetation, depending on the river type, as required by the Water Framework Directive. Water nutrient concentrations were measured once at selected sites in all water courses.The TIM reflects water phosphorus concentrations, accounting also for nutrients enrichment in the sediment, and is not influenced by shading, depth, substrate and flow velocity of the water course. The TIM is very sensitive to small variations in P concentration when the P level is low, while the index tends to a maximum as soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) and total phosphorus (Ptot) exceed a certain value.The RI indicates river ecological status which is not only influenced by trophic status but by every factor leading to a deviation of the actual macrophyte community from the reference community. In the investigated rivers the RI indicated reduced flow velocity caused by milldams and shading by riparian vegetation, in addition to trophic status.In rivers that are at the boundary between two different river types, classification of river type can play a crucial role for river status assessment. Incorrect classification of river type can lead to both, a “too good” and “too bad” assessment.  相似文献

Carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies involve localized acidification of significant volumes of seawater, inhabited mainly by planktonic species. Knowledge on potential impacts of these techniques on the survival and physiology of zooplankton, and subsequent consequences for ecosystem health in targeted areas, is scarce. The recent literature has a focus on anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere, leading to enhanced absorption of CO2 by the oceans and a lowered seawater pH, termed ocean acidification. These studies explore the effects of changes in seawater chemistry, as predicted by climate models for the end of this century, on marine biota. Early studies have used unrealistically severe CO2/pH values in this context, but are relevant for CCS leakage scenarios. Little studied meso- and bathypelagic species of the deep sea may be especially vulnerable, as well as vertically migrating zooplankton, which require significant residence times at great depths as part of their life cycle.  相似文献

The replenishment and persistence of marine species is contingent on dispersing larvae locating suitable habitat and surviving to a reproductive stage. Pelagic larvae rely on environmental cues to make behavioural decisions with chemical information being important for habitat selection at settlement. We explored the sensory world of crustaceans and fishes focusing on the impact anthropogenic alterations (ocean acidification, red soil, pesticide) have on conspecific chemical signals used by larvae for habitat selection. Crustacean (Stenopus hispidus) and fish (Chromis viridis) larvae recognized their conspecifics via chemical signals under control conditions. In the presence of acidified water, red soil or pesticide, the ability of larvae to chemically recognize conspecific cues was altered. Our study highlights that recruitment potential on coral reefs may decrease due to anthropogenic stressors. If so, populations of fishes and crustaceans will continue their rapid decline; larval recruitment will not replace and sustain the adult populations on degraded reefs.  相似文献

Diatomic complexes from Upper Holocene sediments in Lake Glubokoe (Moscow Province) are analyzed. A unified reconstruction method is first applied to three most important hydrologic characteristics: temperature, cation-anion balance, and the concentration of biogenic substances. The species composition of diatomic complexes is studied with account for the bioindication significance of each species in terms of the above-listed parameters of the aquatic environment. A graphic method elaborated by L. V. Razumovskii is used to compare the structure of different diatomic complexes. A cyclic recurrence is revealed in the lake temperature regime over the last centuries of the lake existence. It is found that in the epoch of neosedimentogenesis, variations in all parameters under study are correlated.  相似文献

A new index is proposed for water quality assessment in rivers and creeks. The index is similar to the Pantle–Buck saprobity index, but is based on qualitative characteristics and uses macrobenthos families (rarely genera), for which original values of saprobity and indicator weight are given. Data collected at 245 watercourses in the central European Russia are used to study the correlation of the new index with the anthropogenic load onto watercourses, as well as with the watercourse type and size and the type of substrate. The index is shown to be more effective than the Pantle-Buck index modified by Sladecek and the Woodiwiss index and applicable for rapid assessment of watercourse pollution.  相似文献

Quantifying the relative contributions of different sources of water to a stream hydrograph is important for understanding the hydrology and water quality dynamics of a given watershed. To compare the performance of two methods of hydrograph separation, a graphical program [baseflow index (BFI)] and an end‐member mixing analysis that used high‐resolution specific conductance measurements (SC‐EMMA) were used to estimate daily and average long‐term slowflow additions of water to four small, primarily agricultural streams with different dominant sources of water (natural groundwater, overland flow, subsurface drain outflow, and groundwater from irrigation). Because the result of hydrograph separation by SC‐EMMA is strongly related to the choice of slowflow and fastflow end‐member values, a sensitivity analysis was conducted based on the various approaches reported in the literature to inform the selection of end‐members. There were substantial discrepancies among the BFI and SC‐EMMA, and neither method produced reasonable results for all four streams. Streams that had a small difference in the SC of slowflow compared with fastflow or did not have a monotonic relationship between streamflow and stream SC posed a challenge to the SC‐EMMA method. The utility of the graphical BFI program was limited in the stream that had only gradual changes in streamflow. The results of this comparison suggest that the two methods may be quantifying different sources of water. Even though both methods are easy to apply, they should be applied with consideration of the streamflow and/or SC characteristics of a stream, especially where anthropogenic water sources (irrigation and subsurface drainage) are present.

Rhodamine B and Rhodamine WT are fluorescent dyes commonly used as tracers in hydrological investigations. Since introducing intensely red substances into rivers raises understandable doubts of ecological nature, the authors aimed at examining the influence of these dyes on small water fauna using bioindication methods. Quantitative results, calculated with the use of Bliss-Weber probit statistical method, were achieved by means of standardized ecotoxicological tests containing ready-to-hatch resting forms of fairy shrimp (Thamnocephalus platyurus). Qualitative studies included observation of water flea crustacean (Daphnia magna) and horned planorbis snail (Planorbis corneus), both typically present in rivers and representative for temperate climate, as well as guppy fish (Poecilla reticulata), paramecium protozoan (Paramaecium caudatum) and the above-mentioned fairy shrimp. The investigation revealed that both dyes in concentrations used for hydrological purposes are low enough to exert almost no toxic impact on water fauna considered.  相似文献

The present study is based mainly upon the authors' hydrochemical and hydrobiological studies of small silicate streams in South-West Germany, principally in the Black Forest and the Odenwald.

The aim of the paper is the adaptation of a practically proven four-level biological classification system of different degrees of acidity using benthic maroinvertebrates to a five-level system of acidification of mainly upland streams with low buffer capacity. The main reason for such a five-class system is the Water Framework Directive of the European Union (EU WFD), which lays down a five-level classification system for the assessment of the ecological quality of waters.

The biological method of assessing the state of acidity for evaluation of the degree of anthropogenic acidification under the directive, and principles of the EU WFD, are also described. A list of 278 taxa of the macrozoobenthos has been reclassified from a four-level system to a five-level biological indication system, based upon the authors' scientific expertise and the latest references from literature of different acid sensitive areas in Germany.  相似文献
