一种气泡释放过程连续监测方法及其在三峡水库香溪河CH4通量监测的应用

气泡释放是天然水体释放CH₄的主要途径之一,准确量化水体气泡释放量对于辨析其“汇、源”特性至关重要。自然水体释放气泡的不连续性、不确定性使得监测其过程较为困难。本研究针对水体气泡释放监测难题,通过改进倒置漏斗型气泡通量监测装置提出了一种气泡释放过程连续监测方法。本方法测量对象为定长时间监测水域释放气泡的体积,经室内外实验验证,其理论量程为3.6～132 mL/(m²·min),测量结果能够较好的表征10～40 m水深缓流水体气泡体积通量变化特征。运用该方法于2021年6—11月对三峡水库支流香溪河库湾开展CH4气泡通量连续监测,并分析不同环境因子对其产生的影响。结果表明:监测期间,研究水域CH₄气泡通量变化范围为0.02～8.13 mg/(m²·d),且各采样点间CH₄气泡通量呈现较高的时空变异性;CH₄气泡通量与水温、水体pH呈显著正相关关系,与水深及水体电导率呈显著负相关关系。其中,水深可能是决定水体是否通过气泡形式释放CH₄的重...     

三峡水库CO2、CH4通量监测分析研究

自成库以来,三峡水库CO₂、CH₄等温室气体通量较蓄水前发生明显改变。如何科学认识和客观评估三峡水库修建及运行对其CO₂、CH₄等温室气体通量的影响备受关注。本文简要回顾了自2009年以来在三峡水库开展CO₂、CH₄等温室气体通量监测与分析工作,综述认为,现阶段三峡水库温室气体排放以水-气界面扩散释放为主要途径。陆源输入的有机碳是主导三峡水库CO₂、CH₄产生的主要碳源,但在局部区段或时段自源性有机碳的贡献亦十分显著。同蓄水前相比,三峡水库碳排放量呈现为净增加,淹没效应约占水库C净增量的20%,库区内点面源污染负荷并未对CO₂排放的净增量产生显著贡献,阻隔效应和生态系统重建效应对三峡水库碳排放的净增量产生显著贡献。近10年来,监测方法比对、监测点位优化等工作在一定程度上完善了三峡水库温室气体通量监测体系。新方法、新技术的引入也为三峡水库温室气体通量监测分析提供了有利支撑和保障,但复杂水文环境...     

大型水库分层期和混合期溶存温室气体空间变化及排放通量

水库作为温室气体的重要来源,对区域气候变化有不可忽略的影响。然而,目前对水库溶存温室气体的空间异质性及垂向特征的认知仍然欠缺。为了揭示水库分层期和混合期溶存温室气体空间特征及排放通量,也为厘清水库温室气体产生和排放的关键过程提供重要支撑。研究选择东北地区大型水库——汤河水库为对象,于2021年7—9月和10月(分别代表水库分层期和混合期)对水库不同位置(坝前、库中和库尾)开展溶存温室气体垂向分层监测。研究结果显示,水库CH₄排放通量变化范围为0.018～0.174 mmol/(m²·d),是大气CH₄的源,空间分布为库尾>库中>坝前;CO₂通量为-4.91～58.77 mmol/(m²·d),除分层期东支库尾,其余点位均表现为大气CO₂的源,空间分布为坝前>库中>库尾。时间上,分层期CH₄排放通量(0.071±0.044 mmol/(m²·d))高于混合期((0.027±0.008) mm...     

蓄水初期三峡水库草堂河水-气界面CO2和CH4通量日变化特征及其影响因素

为查明三峡水库蓄水初期典型支流水-气界面CO_2和CH_4通量的日变化特征,采用LGR在线分析仪-通量箱法,于2015年9月初在库腹一级支流草堂河回水区开展连续24 h的定位观测.结果表明,24 h监测期内,支流库湾水-气界面CO_2通量变幅为-81.642~180.991 mg/(m~2·h),呈"昼吸夜放"特征,均值为17.346 mg/(m~2·h),总体为释放特征;CH_4全天均表现为释放状态,释放通量均值为0.064 mg/(m~2·h),呈"昼弱夜强"变化.相关分析结果表明,CH_4和CO_2释放通量与风速呈正相关,与表层水温、溶解氧浓度、叶绿素a浓度呈负相关,说明风速物理扰动、浮游植物光合作用是控制草堂河水-气界面气体通量最重要的环境因素.同时,干-支流相互作用形成的特殊水环境(如异重流、水温分层)也与水-气界面温室气体通量过程密切相关,但是其作用机制更为复杂,应开展进一步系统观测和深入研究.     

基于机器学习的水-气界面CO2、CH4扩散通量预测及影响因素分析——以三峡水库为例

传统的水-气界面温室气体通量的监测方法具有诸多局限,对其影响因素的分析也大多基于数学统计层面。对此,本研究提供了一种较为新颖的研究和分析方法——基于机器学习的数据预测和分析。本研究采用2种经典机器学习算法——随机森林(RF)和支持向量机(SVM)和2种深度学习算法——卷积神经网络(CNN)和长短时记忆神经网络(LSTM),通过环境因素预测水库水-气界面CO₂和CH₄扩散通量。此外,采用RF中的特征重要性评估和经典算法决策树(DT),对环境因素和水库温室气体扩散通量的关系进行了全新角度的数据挖掘和分析。结果表明:深度学习算法的预测效果均较好,经典机器学习算法中RF预测效果显著优于SVM。LSTM和RF分别产生了最优的CO₂扩散通量和CH₄扩散通量的预测精度,均方根误差(RMSE)分别为0.424 mmol/(m²·h)和0.140μmol/(m²·h),预测值与实测值的R²分别为0.960和0.758。RF的特征重要性评估表明沉积物因子...     

三峡水库澎溪河CO2、CH4气泡释放通量初探

气泡释放是天然水体中水-气交换的重要途径之一.采用改进的倒置漏斗型气泡通量监测装置于2012年3-8月期间对三峡支流澎溪河高阳平湖库湾水域进行气泡释放通量的监测研究.研究期间,研究水域CH4气泡释放通量变化范围为0.01 ～ 23288.64 μmol/(m2·d);CO2气泡释放通量变化范围为0～799.89 μmol/(m2·d).不同常规采样点CH4、CO2气泡释放通量均呈现出高度的时空异质性特征.但CH4气泡释放通量显著高于CO2气泡释放通量,且二者释放过程具有同步性.同国外已有水库监测结果相比,澎溪河回水区高阳平湖库湾水域CH4、CO2气泡释放通量位于中等水平.CH4气泡释放通量约为同期CH4扩散通量的0～ 1893.90％,超量释放下CH4气泡释放通量可达同水域CH4扩散通量的6270.5％±390.0％.CO2气泡释放通量仅占同期扩散通量绝对值的0～ 21.74‰,超量释放下,CO2气泡释放通量亦仅为同期扩散通量绝对值的40.33‰ ±0.93‰.CH4气泡释放通量在支流库湾水域对总通量的贡献不可忽视.     

2008年汶川MS8.0地震前后川西含碳气体卫星高光谱特征

2008年汶川地震导致了大量地下含碳气体释放. 本文基于卫星高光谱数据采用差值法获取了汶川地震前后川西地区含碳气体异常的时空分布特征. 结果显示汶川地震前后不同含碳气体异常的时空分布特征不同. 空间分布上,CH₄,CO₂和CO异常分布于震中附近且受断裂控制明显,与热红外异常特征类似;CO和CO₂异常的范围较CH₄大,CO除沿断裂带分布外,在四川盆地也大面积出现. 异常出现时间上,CO₂异常最早,其次为CH₄和CO. 气体来源上,CO₂和CH₄主要来源于地球内部沿断裂带释放,在地球内部还原条件下,CH₄还可由CO₂还原形成;CO异常除了沿断裂带释放和由断裂带释放的CH₄氧化生成外,还由四川盆地渗漏的CH₄氧化生成. 本文结果可用于地震监测预测研究,不仅提供了新的地震前兆观测参数,还为地震热红外异常机制“地球放气温室效应”提供了科学依据,同时对地震引起的地质碳排放研究也有重要意义.      

2015年4月15日内蒙古阿拉善左旗MS5.8地震前后CH4和CO变化

基于卫星高光谱数据讨论鄂尔多斯西缘CH₄和CO气体背景场特征和2015年4月15日内蒙古阿拉善左旗M_S5.8地震前后气体异常变化。 结果表明, CH₄和CO气体总量在时间上均存在显著的季节变化, 空间分布上受构造地质背景、 地形地貌影响, 高值区位于银川、 吉兰泰、 河套断陷盆地。 2015年4月15日内蒙古阿拉善左旗M_S5.8地震当月, CH₄异常沿鄂尔多斯西缘断裂带呈线性展布, 地震前1周左右, 震中两侧油气田出现CH₄异常, 异常幅度达到6倍标准偏差, 与地震引起附近油气田CH₄逸出增加有关; CO异常空间分布与CH₄基本一致, 时间上滞后CH₄异常1周左右, 持续2周左右后消失。 CH₄和CO关系密切, CO异常部分源自CH₄氧化。     

三峡水库香溪河库湾水-气界面热交换过程及水体稳定性

水库或湖泊的热分层结构是其动力与环境过程的重要研究方面,虽然很多学者针对水体分层结构和演变机理开展了大量研究,但水体通过水-气界面与大气进行热交换的过程,各气象因子的贡献机理等研究成果还很缺乏。本文基于三峡水库香溪河库湾2019年3月-2020年2月期间的水温、水位及气象等监测数据,针对水-气界面热交换过程如何影响水温垂向结构及表层水体湍流混合作用开展研究。结果表明,(1)香溪河水体年内呈高温期分层、低温期混合的基本特征,高温期混合层深度小于8 m,低温期混合层深度超过30 m。(2)太阳短波辐射是香溪河水体的主要热源,潜热通量和长波辐射是香溪河水体的主要冷源,感热通量贡献极小。(3)香溪河平均风速较弱,约为1.6 m/s,主要通过增强潜热和感热通量的方式影响水体垂向稳定性结构特征,其机械扰动作用较弱。(4)表层水体湍能通量在高温期较低(10^-7m³/s³量级),此时水体处于分层状态,风应力大概率主导表层水体湍流发育;低温期表层水体湍能通量较高(10^-6 m³/s^3<...     

湖泊底泥疏浚环境效应:Ⅱ.内源氮释放控制作用

通过为期一年的疏浚模拟试验,在试验室培养疏浚与对照柱样研究了底泥疏浚对内源氮释放的控制效果.研究结果发现,疏浚表层30cm能够有效的消减沉积物中有机质含量与孔隙水中NH4+含量.在一年的试验周期内,疏浚和对照柱沉积物-水界面的NH4+通量分别为5.3至18.6mg/(m2·d)与-9.4至67.5mg/(m2·d),疏浚柱沉积物-水界面的NH4+通量总体上低于未疏浚对照的通量,尤其是在温度较高的月份,从2006年5-12月疏浚柱沉积物-水界面NH4+释放通量显著低于未疏浚对照柱,疏浚沉积物的NH4+的释放潜力低于未疏浚对照沉积物.研究结果表明,在外源得到有效控制的前提下,底泥疏浚是消减研究区内源氮负荷有效的技术手段.     

三峡水库澎溪河消落区土-气界面CO2和CH4通量初探

水库近岸湿地(消落区)温室气体(CO₂、CH₄)产汇是水库温室气体效应问题的重要组成部分.本文以三峡水库支流澎溪河的白家溪、养鹿两处大面积消落区为研究对象,于2010年6 9月水库低水位运行期间,对近岸消落区土-气界面CO₂、CH₄通量进行监测.白家溪消落区土-气界面CO₂通量均值为12.38±2.42 mmol/(m²·h);CH₄通量均值为0.0112±0.0064 mmol/(m²·h).养鹿消落区CO₂、CH₄通量均值分别为10.54±5.17、0.14±0.16 mmol/(m²·h).总体上,6 9月土-气界面CO₂通量呈增加趋势,而CH₄通量水平呈现显著的递减趋势.消落区土地出露后植被恢复,在一定程度上促进了土壤有机质含量的增加,使得6 9月CO₂释放通量的总体趋势有所增加.消落区退耕后,其甲烷氧化菌的活性得到恢复,加之在土地出露曝晒过程中土壤透气性增强,使得消落区土壤对大气中CH₄吸收氧化潜势增强.尽管如此,仍需进一步的研究以明晰消落区土-气界面CO₂、CH₄产汇的主要影响因素.     

Methane Oxidation in the Water Column of Xiangxi Bay,Three Gorges Reservoir

Four field campaigns are carried out to quantify the methane (CH₄) oxidation rate in Xiangxi Bay (XXB) of the Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR), China. The water depth of the sampling site varied from 13 to 30 m resulting from the water level fluctuation of the TGR. The CH₄ oxidation rates are measured in situ as the decline of dissolved CH₄ concentration versus time in incubated, and those rates. The CH₄ oxidation rates range from 1.18 × 10^?3 to 3.69 × 10^?3 µmol L^?1 h^?1, with higher values and stronger variation during summer. A static floating chamber method is used to measure CH₄ emitted to the atmosphere resulting in an annual mean flux of 4.79 µmol m^?2 h^?1. The CH₄ emission rate is significantly negatively correlated with the water level. The results show that a large fraction of CH₄ is consumed in the water column with a range of 28.97–55.90 µmol m^?2 h^?1, accounting for ≈69–98% of the total CH₄ input into the water column, and more than 90% is consumed outside the summer, when the water level is lowest. Water depth, which is dominated by water level of the TGR, is a potentially important driver for CH₄ oxidation and atmospheric emission in the tributary bay.     

Dasuopu ice core record of atmospheric methane over the past 2000 years

The concentrations of CH₄ in the atmosphere over the past 2000 years have been deduced by extracting and analyzing the air in bubbles embedded in the Dasuopu ice core, Qing-hai-Tibetan Plateau. Upon analyzing 57 ice core samples we found that the concentration of CH₄ 200 years ago and earlier was 0.85 μ mol· mol^-1 or about 40% of present atmospheric CH₄ levels over Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. A rapid and significant increase of atmospheric CH₄ started about 200–250 a ago. For a given age before 19th century, the Dasuopu CH₄ concentrations were about 15%-20% higher than those in Antarctic and Greenland references. It was also found that the Dasuopu CH₄ concentrations changed more frequently, and its fluctuations could reflect the temperature change sensitively.     

Net, actual, and potential sediment-water interface NH4 fluxes in the northern Gulf of Mexico (NGOMEX): Evidence for NH4 limitation of microbial dynamics

A new approach, combining ¹⁵NH₄⁺ isotope dilution and continuous-flow techniques, provided estimates of “actual” and “net” NH₄⁺ flux and sediment NH₄⁺ demand (SAD) at the sediment-water interface (SWI) of sites in the northern Gulf of Mexico (NGOMEX). The sites included a hypoxic site (C6), two sites with intermediate oxygen levels (B7 and F5), and a normoxic site (CT). Control cores without isotope addition and other cores from the same site treated with ¹⁵NH₄⁺ labeled overflowing water differentiated between net and actual regeneration flux and actual vs. potential uptake flux of NH₄⁺. Experiments were conducted in 2008 before (July) and after (September) two successive hurricanes (Gustav and Ike) and in January and August, 2009. Actual regeneration was significantly higher than net flux at most sites. Net flux did not differ significantly in most sites/dates, but the actual regeneration, and the actual and potential uptake, showed temporal and spatial variation; the flux at the hypoxic site was more active than non-hypoxic sites. SAD, the difference between potential and actual NH₄⁺ uptake flux, was higher at the hypoxic site than at non-hypoxic sites before and after the hurricanes in 2008 and during the hypoxia season in 2009. SAD related negatively to bottom water DO values. Conclusions: (1) net flux often underestimated actual regeneration, (2) hurricane activity decreased N dynamics, and (3) microbial N limitation status at the hypoxic site related to NH₄⁺ removal processes that were independent of oxygen (e.g., anaerobic heterotrophic uptake or anammox). These results indicate a rather consistent NH₄⁺ demand at the SWI during the hypoxic season and suggest that reduced nitrogen may limit microbial dynamics in the region.     

曝气充氧对城市污染河道内源铵态氮释放的控制

以城市污染河道沉积物和上覆水为研究对象,利用模拟实验方法,探讨不同曝气充氧方式(水曝气EW、底泥曝气ES)对污染河道內源铵态氮(NH4+-N)释放的影响.研究结果发现:从间隙水和沉积物中NH4+-N的削减效果来看,底泥曝气均要优于水曝气;实验结束后,底泥曝气组沉积物与间隙水中NH4+-N含量分别减少63.39%和43.33%,水曝气组分别减少了7.54%和13.98%;从沉积物-水界面NH4+-N的扩散通量变化来看,水曝气组界面通量高于对照组,其变化规律与对照组相似;底泥曝气组沉积物-水界面NH4+-N扩散通量变化过程完全不同于其它两组,在整个试验周期内(除第5 d以外),底泥曝气组的通量低于水曝气组,在第15 d最低,为13.73 mg/(m2.d),仅为水曝气组和对照组的14.68%和19.93%,表明底泥曝气组沉积物NH4+-N的释放潜力低于水曝气组沉积物.     

Experimental study on N<Subscript>2</Subscript>O and CH<Subscript>4</Subscript> fluxes from the dark coniferous forest zone soil of the Gongga Mountain,China

The static closed chamber technique is used in the study on the CH₄ and N₂O fluxes from the soils of primeval Abies fabri forest, the succession Abies fabri forest and the clear-cut areas of mid-aged Abies fabri forest in the Gongga Mountain from May 1998 to September 1999. The results indicate the following: (i) The forest soil serves as the source of atmospheric N₂O at the three measurement sites, while the fluxes of CH₄ are all negative, and soil is the sink of atmospheric CH₄. The comparative relations of N₂O emissions between the three sites are expressed as primeval Abies fabri forest < clear-cut areas < succession Abies fabri forest, and those of CH₄ consumption fluxes are primeval Abies fabri forest < succession Abies fabri forest < clear-cut areas, (ii) Significant seasonal variations of N₂O emission at various sites were observed, and two emission peaks of N₂O occurr during summer (July—August) and spring (February—March), whereas N₂O emission is relatively low in winter and spring (mid March—April). Seasonal variations of CH₄ consumption at each measurement site fluctuate drastically with unclear regularities. Generally, CH₄ consumption fluxes of succession Abies fabri forest and clear-cut areas are higher from mid May to late July but lower in the rest of sampling time, while the CH₄ flux keeps a relatively high value even up to September in primeval Abies fabri forest. In contrast to primeval Abies fabri forest, the CH₄ absorbabilities of succession Abies fabri forest and clear-cut areas of mid-aged Abies fabri forest are weaker. Particularly, the absorbability of the clear-cut areas is even weaker as compared with the other two sites, for the deforestation reduces the soil absorbability of atmospheric CH₄. (iii) Evident diurnal variation regularity exists in the N₂O emissions of primeval Abies fabri forest, and there is a statistic positive correlation between the fluxes of N₂O and air temperature (R=0.95, n=11, α· 0.01), and also the soil temperature of 5-cm layer (R=0.81, n=11, α> 0.01), whereas the CH₄ diurnal variation regularities are unclear and have no significant correlation with the soil temperature of 5-cm layer and air temperature.     

Methane Formation and Consumption Processes in the Littoral Zone of the Rybinsk Reservoir

Concentrations of CH₄ and the rates of processes of its transformation and oxidation are evaluated in the littoral zone of a large polimictic reservoir in the open-water period. The production of CH₄ in bottom sediment was found to vary within 0.07 to 17.32 mmol/(m² day) and attain its maximum in the late summer. The main factors to control the activity of methanogens were found to be the temperature and the availability of substrates (acetate and H₂/CO₂). The newly formed methane was oxidized in the top soil layer with a rate of 0.09–17.15 mmol/(m² day). The rates of processes of biogenic production and consumption of CH₄ in silts of screened coast were higher than those in sands of the open coastal zone. Methanotrophs were found to consume >87% of the methane produced. These bacteria accounted for 20 and 8% of the total oxygen consumption by bottom sediment in the screened and open littoral zones, respectively.     

三峡水库中段库底水体CH4浓度变化及其主要影响因素

甲烷(CH4)是一种重要的温室气体,对全球气候变化有不可忽视的影响.三峡水库是中国最大的水库,其潜在的CH4释放近年来备受关注.然而,此地区现存研究主要集中于水气界面通量观测,对库底沉积物同底层水体CH4浓度变化之间关系的认知仍然欠缺.为探究三峡水库泥沙主要沉降淤积的中段区域库底水体CH4浓度变化及其主要影响因素,本研究于2017年8月2018年11月在涪陵南沱镇、忠县石宝寨、万州小周镇采集库底上覆水体和底泥样本,并结合三峡水库调度运行特征进行分析.结果表明,三峡水库中段库底上覆水CH4浓度范围为0.02~0.91μmol/L,二氧化碳(CO 2)浓度范围为0.006~0.105 mmol/L,沉积物有机碳含量范围为7~90 g/kg,总氮含量范围为0.27~45.6 g/kg.另外,三峡水库低水位运行时期(59月),上游及陆源输入大量异源性有机碳是该时期三峡库中段底部CH4积累的充分条件.在水库高水位运行时期(10月次年4月),水位与径流变化对三峡水库中段底部CH4的影响并不明显,库底自源性有机质相对比重有所增加,温度是该时期影响水库底层水体CH4浓度分布的主要水环境因素.     

不同水文情景下洪泽湖二氧化碳排放通量特征及影响因素

内陆水域二氧化碳(CO₂)排放是全球碳平衡的重要组成部分,全球CO₂排放通量估算通常有很大不确定性,一方面源于CO₂排放数据观测的时空离散性,另一方面也是缺少水文情景与CO₂排放通量关联性的研究.本文观测了2018年洪泽湖不同水文情景表层水体CO₂排放通量特征,并探讨其影响因素.结果表明,洪泽湖CO₂排放通量为丰水期((106.9±73.4) mmol/(m²·d))>枯水期((18.7±13.6) mmol/(m²·d))>平水期((5.2±15.5) mmol/(m²·d)),且碳通量由丰(310.2~32.0 mmol/(m²·d))、枯(50.8~2.2 mmol/(m²·d))、平(-17.3~39.8 mmol/(m²·d))3种水文情景的交替表现出湖泊碳源到弱碳汇的转变,空间上CO₂排放通量总体呈现北部成子湖区低、南部过水湖区高的分布趋势.洪泽湖CO₂排放对水文情景响应敏感,特别是上游淮河流域来水量的改变,是主导该湖CO₂排放时空分异的重要因子.丰水期湖泊接纳了淮河更多有机和无机碳的输入,外源碳基质的降解和矿化显著促进了水体CO₂的生产与排放,同时氮、磷等营养物质的大量输入,加剧了水体营养化程度,进一步提高CO₂排放量,间接反映出人类活动对洪泽湖CO₂变化的深刻影响.平、枯水期随着上游淮河来水量的减少,驱动水体CO₂排放的因素逐渐由外源输入转变为水体有机质的呼吸降解.此外,上游河口区DOM中陆源类腐殖质的累积与矿化能够促进CO₂的排放,而内源有机质组分似乎并没有直接参与CO₂的排放过程.研究结果揭示了水文情景交替对湖库CO₂排放的重要影响,同时有必要进行高频观测以进一步明晰湖泊的碳通量变化及其控制因素.
