借助137Cs估算滇池沉积量

根据137Cs测量值和具体区位判断,滇池流域土壤与湖泊沉积物中的137Cs是世界与中国核试验生成物叠加的结果,由此在滇池沉积物中识别出1954年、1963年、1976年、1986年几个特定年份的沉积层(时标)。计算不同时标间的沉积物质量,可求出不同时段单位面积上的年均沉积质量,不同湖区该值有差别,但符合湖心沉积低于湖岸的湖泊沉积规律。又参照滇池流域地貌、物源供给、湖盆形态及采样点等,借助GIS方法将滇池湖区划分为远岸湖心区(I)、近岸湖心区(II)、湖西区(III)、湖东区(IV)和湖南区(V),并计算各区底面积;然后将面积与年均沉积质量相乘,得到不同时段各区域的年均沉积总量1954~2003年与I~V区对应的年均沉积总量(104t/a)分别是6.85、8.90、8.43、9.82和5.91,滇池外海的总沉积量为39.91×104t/a。这些结果与当地实情吻合,与他人的研究结果也非常一致。

通过对云南滇池沉积物柱芯DC1样品的放射性核素137Cs和Pb210测试分析,发现该柱芯Cs137自1954年首次沉降以来存在1963年、1975年和1986年三个较为明显的蓄积峰,获得滇池自Cs137相应的时标年份到2007年的平均沉积速率分别为0.062g/cm2·a-1、0.051cm2·a-1, 0.049cm...     

有关湖泊沉积137Cs深度分布资料解译的探讨

讨论了国内有关湖泊沉积^137Cs断代资料解译的一些问题。一些高寒地区的湖泊,上世纪60年代主核爆期以后,入湖泥沙的^137Cs含量变化不大,因此沉积剖面^137Cs浓度达峰值后无明显降低趋势。一些浅水湖泊,由于人类活动扰动湖底表层泥沙,剖面表层泥沙的^137Cs浓度比较均一。根据核尘埃沉降监测资料,中国湖泊沉积应存在明显的1963年^137Cs蓄积峰,不应存在所谓的1974年^137Cs次蓄积峰,可能存在不很明显的1986年次蓄积峰。沉积剖面中^137Cs浓度的深度变化,不仅和”’CS大气沉降通量变化有关,也和流域内近几十年来的环境变化有关,1963年以后的^137Cs次蓄积峰的确定要慎重。黔中红枫湖沉积物^137Cs面积活度高于滇西湖泊,主要是由于石漠化严重的喀斯特山地,裸岩面积大,裸岩坡地几无土壤吸附^137Cs尘埃,核爆期间^137Cs降尘随降雨径流直接流失进入湖泊比例高的缘故,不是青藏高原的大气污染物散落屏蔽效应的结果。     

黄河宁蒙河段悬沙冲淤量时空变化及其影响因素

通过对黄河宁蒙河段6个水文站1952~2003年间的实测悬移质泥沙资料,运用输沙平衡方法,对划分的5个时段和5个区段的悬沙冲淤量进行了计算分析,探讨宁蒙河段悬沙冲淤量的时空变化规律。黄河上游无大型水库的1952~1959年间和水库建成坝下河道充分调整后的1994~2003年间,宁蒙河段强烈淤积,年均悬沙淤积量分别为0.9588亿t/a和0.9503亿t/a;而期间的三个时段,年均悬沙分别为净侵蚀0.6127亿t/a、微淤0.0161亿t/a和较强淤积0.7475亿t/a。年均悬沙淤积量在宁蒙河段为0.345亿t/a;在宁夏河段为0.076亿t/a,其中下沿河~青铜峡区段微淤,青铜峡~石嘴山区段冲淤平衡;在内蒙古河段总和为0.269亿t/a,石嘴山~巴彦高乐、巴彦高乐~三湖河口、三湖河口~头道拐三个区段分别为0.0084亿t/a、0.113亿t/a和0.147亿t/a,沿程增大。悬沙淤积量的时间变化主要受到区间支流来沙量变化和水库建设的双重影响,而空间变化主要受到青铜峡水库拦沙以及刘家峡、龙羊峡水库消减洪峰的影响。黄河宁蒙河段处于构造沉降区,淤积是总趋势,人类活动可以引起个别时段、区段发生侵蚀,但无法改变其沉积的总趋势。     

黑龙江连环湖近现代沉积速率及粒度反映的气候干湿变化

通过对连环湖沉积物柱芯YCHB样品的放射性核素137 CS和210pb测验结果进行研究,表明该柱芯137Cs自1954年初次沉降以来存在1963年、1975年和1986年3个比较突出的蓄积峰,获得连环湖沉积物记录的137Cs相应时标年份到采样年份(2010年)的平均沉积速率分别是0.170 g/cm2.a-1、0.072 g/cm2.a-1、0.054 g/cm2.a-1及0.051 g/cm2.a-1.借助210 PbCRS计年模式,发现连环湖过去176年间的沉积速率是波动的,先升高后降低是其总体趋势,这种波动的沉积环境可能与人类在连环湖地区相应历史时期的活动有着密不可分的关系.探讨了两种计年结果差异产生的可能原因.比较分析了当地年均降雨量与沉积物柱芯YCHB对应时段颗粒的中值粒径之间的关系,发现该地区的降雨量和连环湖沉积物粒度的中值粒径(d(50))在受到人类活动影响较少的情况下表现出较好的相关性,即同步波动性良好.在针对湖泊沉积高分辨率、短时间尺度(年际、10 a)的研究中,沉积物粒度的中值粒径是指示湖区降雨量变化的有效指标.     

莱州浅滩表层沉积物重金属分布与区域动力沉积格局关系

通过表层沉积物粒度测试、重金属测试及相关分析、大比例制图,对莱州浅滩及附近海域海底表层沉积物重金属含量分布与动力沉积环境关系进行了研究.结果表明,与区域动力沉积格局对应,浅滩及附近海域表层沉积物各元素含量呈现出中部低、两侧高的马鞍型分布格局,即动力较强的浅滩东北侧低于动力较弱的西南侧,而动力最强的浅滩顶部又低于浅滩东北侧.其中,受浅滩两侧两个潮余环流控制,浅滩两侧各重金属含量均呈现出中心高、周围低的向心状分布格局.但是,重金属含量分布并不完全对应于区域动力沉积格局,且不同元素间有显著差异.     

黄河入海泥沙输运及沉积过程的数值模拟

以利津站代表的黄河入海径流和泥沙数据驱动ECOMSED模型,对黄河入海泥沙悬移输运过程的逐月时空变化、输送通量以及海底沉积效应进行了数值模拟实验。分析结果表明,在忽略再悬浮作用条件下,黄河入海泥沙的输运扩散过程具有明显的季节变化规律,且这种变化具有年际相似性。黄河泥沙入渤海后总体朝向辽东湾西侧海岸扩散,而主要沉降区域是黄河口附近,且随着距离的增大,沉积通量迅速降低。模拟沉积速率一般在0.5~0.1 mm/年左右,与实际调查结果非常接近。海底地形等高线向渤海海盆西部、渤海湾南部,以及渤海海峡方向突出,也反映了泥沙通量的输送方向。从黄河入海泥沙悬移扩散过程的季节变化特征及其海底沉积效应来看,渤海海域泥沙悬移输运过程受潮汐动力、余流和和底层流场等因子的制约。除了黄河河口地区以外,各月悬浮泥沙高浓度区基本一致,集中分布在潮流能量最强的海域,潮流水平动能的大小与悬沙浓度大小分布基本一致。泥沙悬移输运方向与模拟获得的渤海三维风驱-潮致Lagrange余流的方向具有明显的相关关系,泥沙扩散的方向和强度明显受余流方向和强度的控制。     

山东荣成月湖潮汐汊道系统的沉积物平衡问题——兼论人类活动的影响

在月湖进行了沉积物采样和潮汐水文观测,分析计算了表层沉积物类型、泥沙输运率、现代沉积速率,讨论了月湖的沉积物平衡。结果显示,月湖的沉积速率较快。按目前的数据和资料估算,月湖每年的沉积通量约为(1.8~2.3)×10⁴ t,而正常情况下的沉积物供应量每年只有(0.5~1.2)×10⁴ t。研究表明,人类活动还改变了月湖的物理与生态过程。由于土地利用的方式及其强度发生了变化,月湖汇水盆地的侵蚀量大为增加,侵蚀模数可能远大于400 t/(km²·a),从而使流域侵蚀量大大超出了正常范围,加剧了月湖的淤积。

借助137Cs估算滇池沉积量

The water quality of Dianchi Lake declines quickly and the eutrophication is getting serious. To identify the internal pollution load of Dianchi Lake it is necessary to evaluate its sediment accumulation. Sedimentation rates of Dianchi Lake are determined by 137Cs dating. However, 137Cs vertical distribution in sediment cores of Dianchi Lake has special character-istics because Dianchi Lake is located on the southeast of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the Kunming quasi-stationary front is over the borders of Yunnan and Guizhou where the specific precipitation is distributed. Besides 1954, 1963 and 1986 137Cs marks can be determined in sediment cores, a 137Cs mark of 1976 representing the major period of 137Cs released from China unclear test can be determined and used for an auxiliary dating mark. Meanwhile Di-anchi Lake is divided into seven sections based on the water depth, basin topography, hy-drological features and supplies of silt and the lakebed area of each section is calculated. The mean annual sedimentation rates for seven sections are 0.0810, 0.1352, 0.1457, 0.1333, 0.0904, 0.1267 and 0.1023 g/cm2 a in 1963-2003, respectively. The gross sediment accu-mulation of the lake is 26.18×104 t/a in recent 17 years and 39.86×104 t/a in recent 50 years.

Processes that can disturb the chronostratigraphy of laminated sediments and pollen deposition

The sediment trap technique was used to study the sedimentation processes in two parts of Lake Goci, central Poland, the deep of the main basin and the shallow bay area. From field and lab data was noted that seasonal and annual deposition of pollen grains on the lake bottom was disturbed in the main basin by an increase in water mass dynamics and by resuspension and focusing. Greater concordance between pollen sedimentation and the flowering periods of plants was found in the bay area, where sediment resuspension took place sporadically and with less intensity, compared to the main basin. Futhermore, it is suggested that resuspension of pollen can occur even if laminated sediments are formed, a process which therby diminishes the chronostratigraphic value of sediments and pollen analyses.     

Wind control on the accumulation of heavy metals in sediment of Lake Ulubat,Anatolia, Turkey

Freshwater Lake Ulubat (z _mean = 1.5–2.0 m and Area = ~138 km²), NW Anatolia, Turkey was filled in by fine-to-medium-grain silts during the late Holocene. Deposition in Lake Ulubat has been 1.6 cm year⁻¹ for the last 50 years, but the sedimentation rate over the last ~1,600 years was lower (0.37 mm year⁻¹). The organic matter and carbonate contents of the infill show cyclic changes that reflect environmental fluctuations. The silt-dominated lithology and the vertically uniform heavy metal distributions are probably due to wind-controlled sedimentation in the lake. Heterogeneous mud, derived from a large, mountainous drainage basin, is deposited in the lake mostly during summer, June to October, when conditions are hot and calm. Winter months are stormier and sediments are re-suspended due to the shallow water depth and the effect of waves on the lake bottom. It is likely that re-suspended sediments, particularly fine-grained particles, together with the heavy metals, are transported out of the lake via the outlet, especially during periods of high lake level. This resuspension and removal process probably caused the lake sediments to become silt-dominated and depleted in heavy metals. The role of broad shallow lakes in sequestering sediments and heavy metals can be described more accurately when wind data are considered. Such information may also be helpful for land-use planning in downstream areas.     

西太湖沉积物污染的地球化学记录及对比研究

通过对西太湖MS、DLS沉积短岩芯中金属元素、营养指标的对比分析,讨论了西太湖近80年来的元素地球化学演化特征。结果表明,20世纪40年代以前,西太湖沉积物中元素为自然来源;40~70年代末期,除北部Hg、TP受到人为污染之外,其余元素仍主要为自然来源;70年代末期以来,重金属元素人为污染逐渐加重,湖泊营养程度升高。西太湖北部沉积物中Pb、Zn、Mn、Ni、As污染开始于20世纪70年代末期,Hg污染开始于40年代初期;与北部相比,南部沉积物重金属污染历史较短,Pb、Zn污染开始于70年代末期,As、Mn、Ni、Hg污染开始于80年代中期~末期。西太湖北部、南部沉积物中TN、TOC含量70年代末期以来开始增加,C/N比值增大,有机质外源输入比例增加。西太湖北部沉积物中TP含量自40年代初期以来逐渐增加,受到人为污染;南部TP含量在40~70年代略高,但无明显的人为污染特征。     

Sediment Stratigraphy and Heavy Metal Fluxes to Reservoirs in the Southern Pennine Uplands, UK

Reservoir sediments are rarely used as environmental archives because of the potential for sediment disturbance by fluctuating water levels. However, rapid rates of sedimentation, proximity to urban centres and often the existence of management records, may make them potentially important resources for reconstructing recent, anthropogenically-derived environmental change. This project assesses the potential of reservoir sedimentary records for reconstructing past atmospheric and drainage basin fluxes of heavy metals (manganese, iron, nickel, copper, zinc and lead) in the southern Pennines, UK. Five reservoirs were selected on the basis of management history and drainage basin characteristics. Multi-parameter analysis showed sediments to be replicable across the ȁ8accumulating zone’ with reasonably consistent rates of sedimentation. Water level fluctuations were not found to detrimentally affect sediment records in the deepwater area of the reservoirs. In fact, spheroidal carbonaceous particle (SCP) profiles show trends in inputs that closely reflect major changes in industrialisation, indicating the reservoir sediments to be excellent records of particulate inputs. Only lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn) were significantly enriched in the reservoir sediment in comparison to background levels. Manganese (Mn), iron (Fe) and to a limited degree, copper (Cu), appeared to be affected by post-deposition mobility. Preliminary calculations of Pb fluxes indicate that over 80% of the current Pb input to the reservoirs is from Pb deposited onto drainage basin soils in the past, rather than from direct atmospheric deposition or natural background inputs. In Howden reservoir, for example, the total Pb flux to deepwater sediment cores in 2000 was 119 mg m⁻² a⁻¹. Of this, an estimated 99 mg m⁻² a⁻¹ was from anthropogenically-derived Pb, initially deposited onto drainage basin soils and subsequently entering the reservoir via erosion and leaching processes. There is, therefore, no indication that the flux of Pb to the aquatic system is declining in response to reductions in Pb deposition. The ecotoxicological effects of the high and continuing Pb flux to these reservoirs, despite recent decreases in atmospheric deposition, is an area requiring further investigation.     

Paleoenvironmental implications of magnetic measurements on sediment core from Kunming Basin,Southwest China

Mineral magnetic measurements have been made on a long sediment core from Dianchi Lake, Southwest China. They have been used for sediment stratigraphy, for bulk lithological classification and for detailed particle-size-based characterisation. These results are set alongside those derived from geochemical, granulometric and pollen analysis to reconstruct the environmental processes recorded in the radiocarbon dated sediment column. It is suggested that the variations of magnetic properties in this sediment core are mainly the result of changes in particle size constitution or organic content, implying shifts in the sedimentary environment. Three distinctive stratigraphic horizons, with several subdivisions, have been identified on the basis of the magnetic measurements. They are coincident with the pollen assemblage zones, indicating the different climatic periods in the Kunming Basin since late Pleistocene times. This paper proposes that a major shift in sedimentation, from lake to reedswamp, occurred in approximately 10 000–12 000 BP, in response to climatic change.     

基于滇池水生态系统演替的富营养化控制策略

自20世纪80年代以来,滇池开始爆发大规模蓝藻水华。滇池治理一直以提高水质为主要目标,以污染控制为主要手段。近10年来,滇池水质虽呈现明显好转趋势,但长期实施的污染控制工程并未有效抑制蓝藻水华爆发。通过浅析滇池富营养化特征,分析当前治理思路和方法中存在的不足,并结合生态系统稳态转换理论和一些国内外富营养湖泊治理经验,认为滇池具备在较高营养盐浓度(V类水质)下恢复清水草型生态系统的可能性,提出滇池治理可以适当降低对水质的要求,在污染物控制的基础上辅以生态修复措施的治理思路,最终实现滇池生态系统由浊水-藻型向清水-草型演替。
