Volume control: Stormwater and the politics of urban metabolism     

《Geoforum》2017

This paper engages with emergent conceptualizations of political–industrial ecology to understand the politics surrounding how the volume, composition, and material throughput of stormwater in Los Angeles is calculated and applied by experts. The intent is to examine the unfolding relationship between the volume and material flow of stormwater, and the social, political, and technical practices involved in identifying stormwater as a new and underutilized water resource. Specifically, it seeks to understand how the active processes of calculating the metabolic inflows and outflows of stormwater in Los Angeles serve as a way for the city to render value and meaning to the flows of stormwater. I suggest that the ways urban metabolisms are calculated reflect a volumetric approach to environmental governance that serves to achieve certain political goals. I refer to this type of governance as volume control—a way of organizing technopolitical interventions around overcoming problems related to the volume of resources flowing and circulating into, through, and out of cities and industrial systems. I argue that understanding this form of governance relies on taking a political–industrial ecology approach that accounts for both the social and material dimensions of resource flows. While the categories and motivations of stormwater governance remain contested over time and space, it is shown that stormwater in Los Angeles needs to be understood in relation to the ecological systems and scientific, political, and cultural practices designed to make it into a resource and align with existing patterns of growth and development.  相似文献   

养殖密度对循环水系统中大菱鲆生长和蛋白质代谢的影响     

韩岑  雷霁霖  刘宝良  贾睿  姜志强  赵奎峰  王国文 《海洋科学》2017,41(3):32-40

在工厂化循环水养殖系统中,将初始体质量为186 g±2.0 g的大菱鲆(Scophthalmus maximus)放养于低(9.4 kg/m~2±0.2 kg/m~2)、中(13.6 kg/m~2±0.8 kg/m~2)、高(19.1 kg/m~2±1.3 kg/m~2)3个养殖密度,以研究不同养殖密度对大菱鲆生长、消化酶和蛋白质代谢的影响。养殖120 d后,低、中、高试验组养殖密度分别增长至26.1 kg/m~2±1.2 kg/m~2、38.2 kg/m~2±2.5 kg/m~2、52.3 kg/m~2±3.6 kg/m~2。结果表明:低密度组和中密度组中大菱鲆增质量率、特定生长率、肥满度和蛋白质效率均显著(P0.05)高于高密度组;而饲料系数显著低于高密度组(P0.05)。低密度组和中密度组大菱鲆总蛋白酶和淀粉酶活力显著低于高密度组(P0.05);但脂肪酶活力在3个密度组之间无显著性差异。与低密度组相比,高密度组显著提高了谷氨酸脱氢酶活力,同时降低了谷草转氨酶和亮氨酸氨肽酶活力(P0.05),而对谷丙转氨酶活力无任何影响。综上所述,在工厂化循环水系统中,增加养殖密度能提高养殖的产量,但过高的养殖密度会对大菱鲆生长、消化酶活力以及蛋白质代谢产生不利的影响。  相似文献

摄食对中国对虾能量代谢影响的初步研究   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

张硕  王芳  董双林 《海洋科学》1998,22(2):49-51

于 1996年 5～ 6月在水温 2 5℃时测定了两种规格中国对虾 ( Penaeus chinensis)摄食沙蚕和配合饲料后的耗养率和氨排泄率。小规格中国对虾摄食配饵的代谢率略高于摄食沙蚕 ,而大规格组中摄食沙蚕的代谢率大于摄食配饵组。小规格中国对虾摄食配饵和沙蚕的代谢能比未摄食组提高了 33.2 2 %和 2 7.4 0 %;大规格中国对虾摄食配饵和沙蚕的代谢能比未摄食组提高了 34 .78%和 4 0 .0 5%。中国对虾摄食后的氨排泄率明显增加 ,表明蛋白质在摄食代谢中具有重要作用。  相似文献   

富营养化浅水湖泊生态修复中背角无齿蚌(Anodonta woodiana)对水质改善的影响   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

滤水速率的快慢是决定滤食性河蚌对水质改善与否的关键,但受蚌龄大小、食物多少和季节变化的影响.以背角无齿蚌（Anodonta woodiana）为研究对象,设置幼龄蚌组、成年蚌组和无蚌对照组,在惠州西湖生态修复后的清水态和未修复的富营养化水体同时进行中型系统原位实验,测定了各处理组水层中氮、磷、总悬浮物（TSS）浓度和浮游藻类生物量（用叶绿素a（Chl.a）浓度表示）的季节变化,以研究蚌龄、食物和季节变化对背角无齿蚌水质改善的影响.结果表明,与对照组相比,背角无齿蚌提高了清水态水体总磷（TP）和铵态氮浓度,但对总氮（TN）、TSS和浮游藻类Chl.a浓度的影响不显著,表明其不能有效改善清水态水体水质;富营养化水体中,背角无齿蚌虽对水中TN浓度影响不显著,但显著降低了TP浓度、浮游藻类Chl.a浓度和TSS浓度;表明背角无齿蚌可改善富营养化水体水质;且富营养化水体中幼龄蚌的滤水速率显著高于成年蚌;幼龄蚌的滤水速率春季最大（0.132±0.018 L/（g·h））,夏季最小.因此,在富营养化水体修复前期,可通过放养本地滤食性河蚌,如背角无齿蚌,以改善水质,春季放养幼龄蚌更佳,为接下来的修复创造有利条件;而在生态修复后期的清水态水体中,单独的河蚌对水质改善效果不明显.本研究可为水生态系统保护和富营养化水体生态修复提供参考.  相似文献   

Effects of rising temperature on growth and energy budget of juvenile Eogammarus possjeticus(Amphipoda:Anisogammaridae)     

Suyan Xue  Yuze Mao  Jiaqi Li  Jianguang Fang  Fazhen Zhao 《海洋学报(英文版)》2021,40(9):82-89

Growth and energy budget of marine amphipod juvenile Eogammarus possjeticus at different temperatures(20°C,24°C, 26°C, 28°C, 30°C, 32°C and 34°C) were investigated in this study. The results showed that the cumulative mortality rate increased significantly with rising temperature(p0.01), and exceeded 50% after 24 h when temperature was above 30°C. With the temperature increasing from 20°C to 26°C, the ingestion rate and absorption rate increased, but decreased significantly above 28°C(p0.01), indicating a decline in feeding ability at high temperatures. The specific growth rate increased with rising temperature, but decreased significantly(p0.01) after reaching the maximum value at 24°C. Similarly, the oxygen consumption and ammonia emission rates also showed a trend of first increase and then decrease. However, the O:N ratio decreased first and then increased with rising temperature, indicating that the energy demand of E. possjeticus juvenile transferred from metabolism of carbohydrate and lipid to protein. In the energy distribution of amphipods, the proportion of each energy is different. With rising temperature, the ratio of the energy deposited for growth accounted for ingested gross energy showing a trend of decrease, while the energy lost to respiration, ammonia excretion, and feces accounted for ingested gross energy being showed a trend of increase. It seemed that rising temperature increased the metabolism and energy consumption of the amphipods and, meanwhile, decreased the energy used for growth, which may be an important reason for the slow growth and small body size of the amphipods during the summer high-temperature period.  相似文献   

过量Zn²⁺对水花生(Alternanthera philoxeroides)愈伤组织氧化胁迫及多胺代谢的影响     

汪鹏合  施国新  姜岩  陈霖  乔绪强  徐君  贾荣  田秀丽 《湖泊科学》2013,25(3):414-421

以植物组织培养技术培养的水花生愈伤组织为实验材料,研究了过量Zn2+(0、0.2、0.4、0.8、1.6 mmol/L)对水花生愈伤组织的氧化损伤及多胺代谢的影响.结果表明,随着Zn2+浓度增加:(1)水花生愈伤组织的超氧阴离子产生速率和硫代巴比妥酸反应物水平显著提升,超氧化物歧化酶活性明显抑制,叶绿素a含量显著降低;(2)精氨酸脱羧酶和鸟氨酸脱羧酶活性均升高,多胺氧化酶和二胺氧化酶活性在低Zn2+浓度处升高、高Zn2+浓度处降低;(3)总腐胺和总精胺含量在低Zn2+浓度处降低、高Zn2+浓度处增加,总亚精胺含量仅在Zn2+浓度为1.6 mmol/L时有显著增加;(4)游离态腐胺含量变化与总腐胺含量相似,游离态亚精胺含量在高Zn2+浓度时下降,游离态精胺含量仅在Zn2+浓度为0.2 mmol/L时略有下降;(5)结合态腐胺和精胺在Zn2+浓度为0.2 mmol/L时下降而在其余处理组中上升,结合态亚精胺含量各处理组中均增加;(6)束缚态腐胺和亚精胺含量均下降.可见,过量Zn2+胁迫导致水花生愈伤组织氧化性损伤,并扰乱其多胺代谢平衡;束缚态多胺向结合态多胺的转化是过量Zn2+胁迫下水花生愈伤组织多胺代谢变化的一个显著特征;以结合态为代表的内源性多胺积累对水花生愈伤组织抵抗过量Zn2+胁迫具有重要意义.  相似文献   

Underwater measurements of carbon dioxide evolution in marine plant communities: A new method     

Joo Silva  Pedro Feijo  Rui Santos 《Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science》2008,78(4):827-830

We developed a new methodology to determine CO₂ fluxes in intertidal and shallow subtidal plant communities, namely seagrasses, both when the plants are submerged and when they are air-exposed. The apparatus comprises closed incubation chambers and a gas exchange column, designed to remove carbon dioxide from the water. Different types of incubation chambers were designed and built to adapt the system to distinct environments and incubation requirements. The methodology was tested under a comprehensive range of situations and its advantages and limitations are discussed. Overall, the method provides precise measurements of community carbon dioxide fluxes, through a fast and non-intrusive process, allowing repeatable in situ measurements of carbon uptake both in submerged and air-exposed conditions. As the experimental apparatus is identical, directly comparable measurements of air-exposed and submerged community production may be obtained, allowing sound estimates of daily carbon budgets of intertidal and shallow subtidal communities.  相似文献   

盐藻过氧化物酶的盐适应性及其与物质积累的关系     

郭金耀  杨晓玲 《海洋湖沼通报》2009,(1)

实验分析了不同浓度NaCl处理下,培养盐藻的过氧化物酶(POD)活性及其与细胞密度、β-胡萝卜素积累和蛋白质积累的关系.结果表明,盐藻过氧化物酶活性随盐度变化而改变:在适当盐度(60～90g/L)下,过氧化物酶活性很低;在较低盐度(30～60g/L)或较高盐度(90～150g/L)下,盐藻过氧化物酶活性均显著升高,说明盐藻过氧化物酶是一种盐度逆境适应酶.盐藻过氧化物酶活性与盐藻细胞密度及物质积累关系密切:盐藻过氧化物酶活性很低时,盐藻细胞密度大,同时β-胡萝卜素和蛋白质积累也多;随着盐藻过氧化物酶活性升高,盐藻细胞密度、β-胡萝卜素和蛋白质积累均逐渐降低,但盐藻过氧化物酶活性进一步升高时,盐藻蛋白质积累又有增加,可能在盐藻体内有逆境蛋白产生.  相似文献   

模拟升温和营养盐加富对大亚湾浮游生物群落代谢的影响*   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

文章结合模拟升温和营养盐加富, 于2016年8月和2017年1月研究了夏季和冬季大亚湾海域浮游生物群落代谢特征, 以期深入了解浮游生物对升温和富营养化作用的响应机制。结果表明: 升温和营养盐输入均会影响浮游生物总初级生产力(GPP)和群落呼吸率(CR), 且GPP对环境的响应更敏感。夏季GPP除在培养前期(24h)极高温条件下受到显著抑制外, 营养盐输入的影响比温度的影响作用更显著; 而冬季GPP和CR受升温效应的影响显著(p<0.05)。总体看来, 升温效应和营养盐输入均能影响浮游生物群落碳代谢平衡, 导致海洋生态系统的稳定性降低, 进而影响海洋生物多样性以及渔业资源产出的数量和质量。  相似文献
