沉积物暴露条件下文蛤Meretrix meretrix 对重金属Cu、Pb的富集动力学研究

应用半静态双箱动力学模型室内模拟了沉积物暴露条件下文蛤Meretrix meretrix 对Cu、Pb的生物富集,通过对富集与排出过程中文蛤体内重金属污染物的动态监测和对富集与排出过程监测结果的非线性拟合,得到了文蛤富集重金属的吸收速率常数K₁、排出速率常数K₂、生物富集因子BCF(bioconcentration factors)、生物学半衰期B_1/2等动力学参数。拟合结果得到的Cu、Pb各动力学参数分别为,K₁为4.6333—72.3754;K₂为0.0512—0.0798;BCF为60.7646—1414.9634;B_1/2为8.69—13.55。对模型的拟合优度检验结果显示,沉积物暴露条件下文蛤对重金属Cu、Pb的生物富集数据符合双箱模型,模型的拟合优度良好。比较结果得出,吸收速率常数K₁及生物富集因子BCF均随着外部水体金属暴露浓度的增大而减小;文蛤对Cu富集能力大于Pb;Cu在文蛤体内的生物学半衰期B_1/2大于Pb;理论平衡状态下生物体内Cu、Pb的含量C_Amax随着外部水体中金属暴露浓度的增大而增大,且呈显著正相关,实验结果表明沉积物暴露条件下双箱动力学模型在一定条件下是可以应用于文蛤的富集动力学研究的,仍需要进一步开展不同条件下实验研究分析。     

黄渤海典型鳗草海草床重金属生态风险评估

为全面了解我国黄渤海鳗草(Zostera marina L.)床重金属污染水平, 本研究以大连林阳北海、葫芦岛兴城、唐山乐亭-曹妃甸和青岛湾四处鳗草床为研究对象。于夏季采集鳗草、海水和沉积物样品并分析其重金属(Cu、Zn、Pb和Cd)含量。以此分析海草的重金属富集特征, 并对比评估不同鳗草床重金属潜在生态风险。结果表明, 夏季四处鳗草床海水重金属含量由高到低依次为: Zn > Cu > Pb > Cd, 均低于国家一级水质标准; 对沉积物来说, 重金属含量由高到低依次为: Zn > Pb > Cu > Cd, 均低于国家一级沉积物质量标准。鳗草对重金属的富集因重金属种类和海草积累部位而异, 其地上组织对Cu、Zn、Cd的富集能力高于地下组织。研究区域海水中Cu、Zn、Pb和Cd潜在风险等级均处于低风险水平。而对沉积物而言, 葫芦岛兴城鳗草床Cd的潜在风险等级处于较高风险水平(E_i值为156.9)。唐山乐亭-曹妃甸和青岛湾鳗草床的地质累积指数(I_geo)由大到小依次为: Cd > Pb > Zn > Cu。综合所有元素的潜在生态风险指数(I_R), 葫芦岛兴城鳗草床的潜在生态风险值最高。     

山东南部海滩沉积物重金属污染评价及磁学诊断

海滩作为海陆交汇和人类活动最为频繁的区域之一, 由于排污、附近工厂和垃圾倾倒等造成的重金属污染问题亟须重视。以山东南部日照市海滨国家森林公园、芙蓉村、涛雒镇三个海滩为例, 对其表层与垂向沉积物中的Cr、Ni、V、Fe、Zn、Co、Pb共7种重金属含量进行测试, 并使用污染负荷指数(pollution load index, PLI)法与地质累计指数(I_geo)法进行评价。同时对样品进行环境磁学参数测试并建立海滩沉积物重金属污染的磁学诊断模型。PLI显示, 三个海滩均处于污染状态, 污染程度为森林公园海滩＜芙蓉村海滩＜涛雒镇海滩。I_geo结果表明, 森林公园海滩存在V污染, 污染样品占比18%; 芙蓉村海滩存在Ni和V污染, 污染样品占比约33%; 涛雒镇海滩存在Cr、Ni、V污染, 污染样品占比约38%。研究区海滩重金属污染产生的主要原因为当地的工业生产以及水产养殖废水排放。磁参数归一化多元线性分析显示, 质量磁化率χ、饱和等温剩磁SIRM、非磁滞剩磁磁化率χ_ARM三个参数和重金属元素含量关系密切, 可以较好指示重金属含量和污染程度。质量磁化率诊断结果表明,当日照市海滩0.063~0.125 mm粒级沉积物磁化率值大于1 000×10^-8 m³/kg时, 需要注意海滩可能存在重金属元素污染, 可进行更深一步的污染评估。

黄河三角洲关键种泥螺Bullacta exarata对沉积物-水体界面溶解氧和营养盐通量的影响

泥螺自2001因养殖目的引入黄河三角洲以来，随着分布范围的扩大和种群数量的增长，已成为当地潮间带的关键种。泥螺给当地民众带来较高收入，但其对底栖生态系统的潜在影响还不清楚。为了明确该种群的生物扰动对底栖微藻和微生物的初级生产，以及对水体-沉积物界面营养盐交换的影响，开展了该项实验。结果表明，在光照条件下，泥螺能显著影响沉积物-水体界面的溶解氧DO通量；在黑暗及无生物处理组的恢复期，泥螺能显著增加两界面间氨氮的通量。底栖微藻和小型生物在黑暗条件下也能增加氨氮的通量；但在有光照条件下，上述微藻和小型底栖动物对沉积物-水体界面间溶解氧和氨氮通量的影响不明显。实验结果为更深入理解泥螺对生态系统的影响提供重要理论支持。     

黄河三角洲互花米草整治对潮滩湿地防灾功效和沉积动力的影响

互花米草作为黄河三角洲外来入侵物种, 2010年开始爆发式蔓延, 2020年面积最大时可超6 000 hm²,对潮间带生物多样性造成了严重影响。自2020年起,黄河三角洲自然保护区开始大规模的互花米草整治与盐地碱蓬生态修复工作。互花米草具有较强的消浪、缓流、促淤、固滩能力,短期内、大范围的植被去除,可能导致波流和沉积动力环境的突变。基于现场观测数据和考虑植被作用的浪、流、沙耦合数值模型,研究分析了互花米草整治和盐地碱蓬修复对黄河三角洲湿地动力过程的影响,重点关注风暴作用下黄河三角洲潮滩湿地的防灾减灾能力和沉积效应变化。研究结果表明,互花米草可有效抵御极端风暴潮,最大风暴潮位衰减率可达15 cm/km。互花米草整治将导致湿地防灾减灾能力显著下降,堤前风暴潮峰值可抬升10～30 cm,同时潮间带的泥沙捕集能力大幅下降。受限于植被密度、高度,盐地碱蓬完全修复后湿地衰减风暴潮、捕集泥沙的能力显著低于原互花米草湿地。研究建议,互花米草整治工程应考虑短期内植被去除导致的近岸风暴潮抬升、侵蚀加剧等潜在风险。     

Contribution of waves and currents to sediment resuspension in the Yellow River Delta

The objective of this study was to investigate that the effects of different hydrodynamic conditions on sediment resuspension on a tidal mudflat in the Yellow River Estuary. A field experiment was conducted on an intertidal flat of the Yellow River Delta, China. The sediment resuspension concentrations and hydrodynamic conditions were obtained in the field from September 2–7, 2013. The resuspended sediment concentrations induced by wave loading were compared with those induced by coupled wave–current actions in Yellow River Delta. The results were as follows: (1) when the wave height was higher than 10?cm and the shear stress induced by the waves was greater than the critical stress of the seabed sediments, the surface seabed was eroded and sediment was resuspended. In addition, 60% of the significant wave heights were larger than 10?cm on the intertidal flat of the Yellow River Delta. (2) The contribution of waves to sediment resuspension was greater than 30% when the significant wave height is higher than 10?cm, and the average contribution of waves to sediment resuspension was 51%. The mechanism of wave-induced sediment resuspension and processes of sediment resuspension were described in this paper.     

Recent sediment accumulation and origin of shelf mud deposits in the Yellow and East China Seas

Modern (last 100 yr) accumulation rates of shelf mud deposits in the Yellow and East China Seas were investigated using the distribution of excess ²¹⁰Pb (²¹⁰Pb_ex) in sediment core samples. Compilation and merger of new and previously published data helped clarify sediment accumulation in these seas. The estimated accumulation rates, together with data of suspended sediment concentrations, provided findings on the sediment budget, origin, and transport pathway of the mud deposits. The overall accumulation distribution in the Yellow and East China Sea shelf revealed a general, cross-shelf decreasing trend along the sediment dispersal system away from the rivers, except for the South Sea (SSM) and southeastern Yellow Sea (SEYSM) mud patches found along the Korean coast. Notably, ²¹⁰Pb_ex activity profiles within the SSM and the SEYSM yielded a relatively high accumulation rate of 2-5 mm/yr, implying a sedimentation rate of 4-15 × 10⁷ tons per year in this coastal zone. Such an annual accumulation rate is about one order of magnitude greater than the total sediment discharge (6-20 × 10⁶ tons/yr) from Korean rivers, suggesting an additional offshore source. The distribution pattern of the well-defined suspended plume clearly showed the possible transport and exchange of fine-grained sediments between the ECS shelf and the coastal area of Korea, especially during winter. Such a high accumulation in Korean coastal areas is attributable to the sediments supplied from the mud deposit of the ECS (i.e., SWCIM), with origins in Chinese rivers. Therefore, the Korean coastal area may be an important sink for some of Chinese river sediments being transported from the south by the Yellow Sea Warm Current.     

Biological influences on morphology and bed composition of an intertidal flat

Biological activity is known to influence sediment strength at bed–water interfaces. However, its precise effect on geomorphology and on bed composition is not known. This paper proposes a parameterization of sediment destabilizing and stabilizing organisms on three parameters that describe the erosion and mixing processes of the sediment bed, namely the critical bed shear stress, the erosion coefficient and the bioturbation coefficient. This parameterization is included in a 3D sand–mud morphodynamic model to form the sand–mud–bio model. The performance of the sand–mud–bio model is demonstrated by testing it on the Paulinapolder intertidal flat in the Western Scheldt estuary of The Netherlands. Model results show that biological influences on sediment strength result in significant morphological change and bed composition variations. Destabilizing organisms always cause a significant decrease in mud content in the bed and an increase of erosion. On the other hand, stabilizing organisms can, but do not necessarily, cause an increase of mud content and additional sedimentation.     

黄河口新生湿地沉积物中的金属元素及其环境指示意义

通过对黄河口新生湿地沉积物岩芯中常量元素、稀土元素以及重金属分布特征的研究,探讨了滨海湿地沉积物中金属元素的环境指示意义。结果表明,大部分金属元素的分布模式类似,均在40 cm左右出现明显的低值区,这主要是由黄河携带而来的大量陆源物质的输入造成的。沉积物粒度组成以及有机质含量对金属元素的分布影响显著。常量元素中,Na₂O与其他元素变化趋势相反,反应了潮汐对滨海湿地的侵蚀作用;黄河口新生湿地沉积物单个稀土元素的含量大小顺序与黄河沉积物和渤海沉积物基本一致,稀土元素总量则高于黄河沉积物而低于渤海沉积物,表明黄河口湿地沉积物具有河流泥沙和海水颗粒物双重来源,而轻重分异比的变化则反映了物质输入的改变;而在较高的有机质和粘土含量的影响下,黄河口新生湿地沉积物中重金属发生了明显的富集。     

Impact of trace metals on denitrification in estuarine sediments of the Douro River estuary,Portugal

Denitrification influences the nitrogen budget in estuaries by removing fixed nitrogen from the inorganic pool; rates are dependent on both geological and geographic conditions as well as increasing anthropogenic impacts. In this study the effects of copper (Cu), chromium (Cr), zinc (Zn), cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb), on the denitrification pathway were evaluated in subtidal and intertidal sediments of the Douro River estuary. Dinitrogen, N₂O and NO₂⁻ production rates were measured in triplicate slurries of field samples under different treatments of metal concentrations. Results demonstrated that similar metal amendments led to different site responses for denitrification, suggesting that variations in sediment properties (metal concentrations, grain size, organic matter content, etc.) and/or differences in denitrifying community tolerance modulate the level of metal toxicity. Denitrifying communities in subtidal muddy sediments were not affected by increasing concentrations of metals. In contrast, intertidal sandy sites revealed high sensitivity to almost all trace metals tested; almost complete inhibition by Cr (95%) and Cu (85%) was observed for 98 and 79 μg per gram of wet sediment respectively, and by Zn (92%) at the highest concentration added (490 μg per gram of wet sediment). Moreover, the addition of trace metals stimulated N₂O and NO₂⁻ accumulation in intertidal sandy (Zn, Cu, Cr and Cd) and muddy sediments (Cu and Zn), demonstrating a pronounced inhibitory effect on specific steps within the denitrification enzymatic system. In summary, the results obtained suggest that, according to the type of estuarine sediment, trace metals cannot only reduce total N removal from an estuary via denitrification but also can enhance the release of N₂O, a powerful greenhouse gas.     

Influence of halophytes and metal contamination on salt marsh macro-benthic communities

Since an important fraction of the organic matter produced by salt marshes is decomposed in situ, macro-benthic communities are particularly exposed to the trace metals retained by these systems. Yet, few studies have investigated the macro-benthic communities using the between-root sediment habitat of the salt marsh halophytes (salt-tolerant plants), or the effect of trace metal pollution on its population dynamics. In the present study, samples were collected in vegetated and unvegetated sediment, in three salt marshes in the Tagus estuary, for trace metal concentration determination in the sediment and in the halophytes roots, grain size determination and macro-benthic organism identification. Data analysis revealed that the distribution of macro-benthic organisms is mainly determined by metal contamination, metal type and by the presence/absence of halophytes, not by the halophyte species. Five different associations were identified: resistant organisms were associated with the highest concentrations of lead (sediment); tolerant organisms with zinc, copper (sediment and roots) and lead (roots); cadmium in the sediment with a lack of macro-benthic life; sensitive organisms with low levels of metals except for cadmium in the roots; and macro-benthos typical of intertidal mudflats with unvegetated areas with low metal contamination.     

黄、渤海几种溶解态痕量金属(Cu、Ni、Co、Zn)分布特征及其影响因素

海水中的痕量金属在海洋生物地球化学循环中至关重要。本研究在严格采用痕量金属洁净(trace-metalclean)采样和分析测试技术的前提下,于2016年7月采集了渤海与黄海表、底层海水水样,获得黄、渤海几种痕量金属(Cu、Ni、Co、Zn)的空间分布特征。研究结果显示,黄、渤海海水中痕量金属的空间分布具有近岸高、远岸低的特点,体现了人类活动对近岸海域的影响,而其在局部海域的分布则受到沿岸流、冷水团、沉积物再悬浮过程以及生物过程等因素的影响。Cu、Ni、Co在黄、渤海海水中的分布特征较为类似,平均浓度由高到低依次为渤海北黄海南黄海,而溶解态Zn的分布则与其他几种金属不同,在黄、渤海平均浓度类似,整体偏低,具有其特殊性。本研究测定的几种痕量金属在黄、渤海海水中的浓度较以往报道数据偏低,其中易污染的痕量金属Zn的浓度更是低近1—3个数量级,体现了痕量洁净采样和测试方法的重要性。     

近百年来黄河改道及输沙量变化对山东半岛泥质楔沉积物粒度特征的影响

对山东半岛泥质楔柱状样进行沉积物粒度分析，并在210Pb测年基础上结合黄河年输沙量、悬浮泥沙粒径、河口位置及沿岸流强弱替代指标等数据研究近百年来黄河改道及输沙量变化对远端沉积区沉积特征的影响。研究结果显示，研究区沉积物粒度的变化是黄河入海泥沙特征和沿岸流等水动力作用共同影响的结果。1884–1939年及1947–1999年，研究区沉积物粒度特征的变化主要受到沿岸流强弱的影响；1939–1947年及1999–2012年，受1938–1947年花园口决堤以及20世纪90年代末以来黄河年输沙量持续偏低致使源区泥沙不足的影响，沉积物粒度相对粗化，与沿岸流强度的相关性减弱。与黄河入海泥沙近端沉积区不同，研究区粒度特征对黄河尾闾改道事件不敏感，且对花园口决堤及年输沙量低于临界值的响应有一定程度的延迟，这与该区沉积物经历了再悬浮过程及中间复杂的物质混合有关。黄河改道及输沙量变化仍然是远端沉积区沉积特征演化不可忽视的因素。
