Wetlands are valuable ecosystems that provide many valuable services, yet many of these important ecosystems are at risk because of current trends in climate change. The Prairie Pothole Region (PPR) in the upper‐midwest of the United States and south‐central Canada, characterized by glacially sculpted landscapes and abundant wetlands, is one such vulnerable region. According to regional/global climate model predictions, drought occurrence will increase in the PPR region through the 21st century and thus will probably cause the amount of water in wetlands to decline. Water surface area (WSA) of Kidder County, ND, from 1984–2011 was measured by classifying TM/ETM+(Landsat Thematic Mapper / Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus) images through the modified normalized difference water index. We then developed a linear model based on the WSA of these wetlands and historical climate data and used this to determine the wetland sensitivity to climate change and predict future wetlands WSA in the PPR. Our model based on Palmer drought severity index (PDSI) of the current year (PDSI_{t ? 0}) and of the previous two years (PDSI_{t ? 2}) can explain 79% of the annual wetland WSA variance, suggesting a high sensitivity of wetlands to drought/climate change. We also predicted the PPR wetlands WSA in the 21st century under A1B scenario (a mid‐carbon emission scenario) using simulated PDSI based on Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change AR4 22‐model ensemble climate. According to our prediction, the WSA of the PPR wetlands will decrease to less than half of the baseline WSA (defined as the mean wetlands WSA of the 2000s) by the mid of the 21st century, and to less than one‐third by the 2080s, and will then slightly increase in the 2090s. This considerable future wetland loss caused only by climate change provides important implication to future wetland management and climate adaptation policy.

闽江河口湿地芦苇和互花米草生物量季节动态研究     

ZHANG Lin-hai  ZENG Cong-sheng  TONG Chuan 《福建地理》2008,(2)

通过对闽江河口湿地芦苇(Phragmites australis)和互花米草(Spartina alterniflo-ra)群落特征和生物量的调查,结果表明:2种植物株高和密度呈显著负相关.芦苇地上部各构件生物量最大值出现在夏季,其值为1 524.8±78.85 g.m-2;互花米草最大值出现在秋季,其值为3 037.2±248.78 g.m-2.互花米草地上生物量显著大于芦苇(P<0.05),但立枯量无显著差异(P>0.05).2种植物地下生物量均为0~15 cm>15~30 cm>30~60 cm;芦苇夏季各层生物量极显著大于其他季节(P<0.05),互花米草地下各层生物量在冬季达到最大,生长季节逐渐下降,夏季最小.芦苇和互花米草总生物量积累动态呈典型的单峰值曲线,总生物量互花米草高于芦苇,但二者差异不显著.随着入侵时间推移,互花米草总生物量还要持续增长.  相似文献

城市湿地是城市生态系统的重要组成部分,对改善城市环境发挥着多方面的重要作用。本研究调查了城市湿地使用者,即市民,对南京城市湿地的评价与期望,并在此基础上提出湿地建设的改进建议。结果表明市民对城市湿地总体满意度较高,但在水质状况、护岸类型和基础设施等方面仍需改进。本研究探索了将市民的意愿纳入城市湿地规划的方法,对于进一步提高城市湿地规划建设具有参考价值。  相似文献   

Assessment of hydrological alterations on wandering beetle assemblages (coleoptera: Carabidae and Tenebrionidae) in coastal wetlands of arid Mediterranean systems   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

M. Teresa Pardo  M.A. Esteve  A. Gimnez  J. Martínez-Fernndez  M.F. Carreo  J. Serrano  J. Miano 《Journal of Arid Environments》2008,72(10):1803-1810

Changes in wandering beetle assemblages (Carabidae and Tenebrionidae) of different habitats situated in coastal wetlands of a Mediterranean arid area (Mar Menor, SE Spain) were analysed in 1984, 1992 and 2003 by pitfall trapping. Over two decades, the increase in irrigated lands at watershed scale led to rising water tables in the Mar Menor wetlands, which affected their beetle communities. These hydrological changes caused an increase in the carabid population, particularly in the sites most affected by flooding, where halobionts and halophiles, which were practically absent in 1984 and 1992, had become dominant by 2003. In contrast, tenebrionid assemblages simplified with time and by 2003 were dominated by one or two generalist species.  相似文献   

The role of biogenic structures on the biogeochemical functioning of mangrove constructed wetlands sediments - A mesocosm approach     

Gil Penha-Lopes  Erik Kristensen  Perrine Mangion  José Paula 《Marine pollution bulletin》2010,60(4):560-572

Benthic metabolism (measured as CO₂ production) and carbon oxidation pathways were evaluated in 4 mangrove mesocosms subjected daily to seawater or 60% sewage in the absence or presence of mangrove trees and biogenic structures (pneumatophores and crab burrows). Total CO₂ emission from darkened sediments devoid of biogenic structures at pristine conditions was comparable during inundation (immersion) and air exposure (emersion), although increased 2-7 times in sewage contaminated mesocosms. Biogenic structures increased low tide carbon gas emissions at contaminated (30%) and particularly pristine conditions (60%). When sewage was loaded into the mesocosms under unvegetated and planted conditions, iron reduction was substituted by sulfate reduction and contribution of aerobic respiration to total metabolism remained above 50%. Our results clearly show impacts of sewage on the partitioning of electron acceptors in mangrove sediment and confirm the importance of biogenic structures for biogeochemical functioning but also on greenhouse gases emission.  相似文献

Based on Landsat TM images in 2005 and urban planning data of 2005-2020 in Hangzhou Bay Industrial Belt,this paper studied the potential risk of the planned urban construction land extension to the wetlands by employing a GIS spatial analysis method.The results show that:(1) The wetland resources are widely distributed and diverse,with a proximal distribution to present urban construction lands spatially.(2) From 2005 to 2020,the urban construction lands will expand vastly and rapidly,and will take over lar...  相似文献
