中国退化河口湿地生态恢复研究进展

湿地退化、恢复和重建是当前湿地科学领域的研究热点,也是中国湿地研究中的核心问题。作为一种典型的海岸湿地,河口湿地在围垦、水利工程建设和环境污染等多重因素的干扰下,面临着自然来水减少、水盐失衡、植被退化、生境质量下降等多种威胁。介绍了当前中国河口湿地的分布情况以及四大主要河口湿地的退化现状,针对已经开展的河口退化湿地恢复的现状,总结了目前中国河口退化湿地恢复所面临的问题,并展望了今后河口退化湿地恢复研究的趋势：开展河口湿地生态系统演替与退化机制研究;发展河口湿地生态恢复技术;加强河口湿地生态恢复示范研究以及建立动态监测和管理系统。     

甘肃省张掖市黑河流域中游典型退化湿地植被特征及生态恢复技术

对甘肃省张掖市黑河流域中游典型退化湿地植被特征进行了研究,分析了影响湿地植被退化的主要原因,探讨了研究区退化湿地的植被恢复技术。研究结果表明,研究区分布有植物45科123属196种,其中,禾本科(Poaceae)、菊科(Asteraceae)、藜科(Chenopodiaceae)和豆科(Leguminosae)包含的植物属较多,分别占研究区植物属总数的17.07%、9.76%、7.32%和7.23%。湿地植物群落的种类组成主要以广布性的湿生、盐生和中生植物为优势种,植物群落以盐生、湿生和沼泽型的植物群落为主。提出了采用天然湿地补水、湿地封育、人工种草和栽植湿地植物恢复技术,以及实施生态农业与"退耕还湿"等工程,进行湿地植被恢复。     

翠湖湿地沉水植物修复方法初探

为快速解决翠湖湿地沉水植物无法正常生长的问题,2012-2013年对翠湖湿地沉水植物的修复实践和恢复技术作了初步探索。结果表明:影响翠湖湿地沉水植物生长的主要限制性因子为光照强度和植食性鱼类数量;水体浊度偏高影响了沉水植物获取足够的光照强度;在修复性种植时用渔网围栏后沉水植物存活率大大提高;种植沉水植物时兼种浮叶、挺水类植物修复效果较为理想;轮叶黑藻为修复后湿地沉水植物群落的优势物种,具有快速的净化效率,可将轮叶黑藻作为群落主要优势种用于受损湿地沉水植被修复。     

不同补水条件下黄河三角洲湿地恢复情景模拟

针对黄河三角洲湿地退化现状,设计了三种湿地修复水量预案。利用水文模型SOBEK和地下水模型Visual Modflow对不同补水预案下湿地水文过程进行模拟,将水文模拟结果与湿地立地条件、植被条件在景观决策支持模型LEDESS框架下进行集成,对三种补水预案下湿地修复情景进行模拟和评价。研究表明,对黄河三角洲湿地的恢复,根据区域湿地条件差异,其恢复目标及所需要的适宜水量也有所不同。一千二管理区宜采用最大引水预案,提高涉禽鸟类的生境适宜性;黄河口管理区宜采用最小水量预案,同时应降低生境干扰以改善栖息地质量;对于大汶流管理区,中等水量对于涉禽类和游禽类的生境都有较大改善。本研究将水文过程与景观过程进行集成,利用情景模拟方法,为湿地恢复决策提供一种新的尝试。     

湿地公园建设中的湿地保护与恢复措施

从湿地公园定义及效益分析入手,分析了湿地公园建设中的保护及恢复措施。保护措施主要是通过隐蔽条件建设、生境岛营造、繁殖巢构建、建设生态廊道、野外投食以及建设生态围栏和警示牌等,达到保护湿地生物的目的;恢复措施主要包括基质恢复、植被恢复、水环境恢复以及岸坡恢复等。湿地保护与恢复措施的实施可为我国湿地公园建设与管理提供技术支撑。     

淡水森林湿地植被恢复模式研究:以安庆市为例

随着我国长江中下游地区淡水森林湿地面积的急剧减少,退化森林湿地的植被恢复对保障长江流域的生态安全至关重要。在我国安徽安庆市湿地生态脆弱区,根据该地区的土壤类型以及森林湿地木本植物资源,筛选出6种湿地适生树种,分别为枫香、美洲黑杨、中山杉、垂柳、金丝垂柳、池杉;建立了3种淡水森林湿地植被恢复多物种配置模式,取得了较好的生态、经济和社会效益,为全球变化背景下我国长江中下游地区退化淡水森林湿地植被恢复和重建提供了科学依据和技术支撑。     

南京新济洲湿地生态恢复研究

以新济洲湿地为例,研究了长江洲滩湿地生态恢复的内涵,提出了生态恢复工程方案。新济洲湿地位于长江下游南京市江宁区段,由于自然因素和人为因素的影响,该湿地结构和功能发生了明显的变化。通过对新济洲湿地的野外研究,分析了退化湿地生态系统的特征,从湿地生境、生物、结构与功能方面阐述了生态恢复的总体构想,研究了湿地恢复的工程手段与可持续利用模式。新济洲湿地生境恢复包括栖息地、基底、水体和土壤的恢复;湿地生物恢复途径有提高植被覆盖率、控制外来物种和保护野生动植物;湿地结构与功能恢复内容包括生态序列重建,生态系统、湿地景观与生物多样性恢复。湿地恢复的工程手段有景观建设、功能区建设、生态定位站、血吸虫防治、植被移植、防护林和河道整治等;湿地可持续利用模式包括桑基鱼塘、生态农业与生态旅游。     

神农架大九湖湿地植物群落调查与生态保护研究

大九湖湿地是华中地区少有的亚热带高山湿地,近代以来,由于人类活动干扰的增强,该湿地被严重破坏。2012年7月,详细调查了"大九湖湿地保护与恢复及公园建设工程"实施后植物组成及群落特点,通过对47个样方的调查,在研究区内记录高等维管植物46科83属98种,分析了植物群落优势物种组成及其生境特点。结果表明,目前大九湖湿地的优势物种为阿齐薹草(Carex argyi)、地榆(Sanguisorba officinalis)、灯心草(Juncus effuses)、紫羊茅(Festuca rubra)和泥炭藓(Sphagnum palustre)等,优势种部分为组成草甸的主要物种;与2000年相比,该湿地植物物种数增加了74种,主要为禾本科、蔷薇科、菊科、蓼科、豆科植物等;依据植物群落样方调查的物种组成和生境土壤特征,将研究区植被划分为6种类型:湿生泥炭沼泽、湿生草本沼泽、退化半湿生沼泽、湿生-中生草甸、中生-旱生草甸、旱生草甸;退耕还草、还泽政策产生了很大效果,研究区生态破坏基本得到控制,但同时人工湖泊和中生-旱生草甸面积的增加对该湿地的自然生态恢复不利。     

湿地恢复的技术与方法研究

从湿地恢复的基本概念和应遵循的原则入手,阐述了湿地恢复的两种模式,即被动恢复模式和主动恢复模式。从确定湿地恢复的目标、明确恢复区域、制定恢复方案、监测恢复活动、评价是否成功、恢复的长期管理等方面阐述了湿地恢复的流程。最后从土壤基质的恢复、植被恢复、栖息地保护与生境改善、湿地生态水管理、富营养化治理、有害生物防控、火生态控制等方面介绍了常见的湿地恢复措施。     

松嫩平原退化芦苇湿地恢复模式

为了探讨松嫩平原退化芦苇（Phragmites australis）湿地的生态恢复模式,2001—2008年,在吉林省西部牛心套堡退化的芦苇湿地进行了示范研究。试验苇田面积100hm2,以工程措施恢复湿地与河流的水力联系,改造苇田基底,完善灌排水系统;通过鱼虾自然增殖与人工放流、芦苇培育等生物措施,恢复苇田生物群落;采用农艺措施与水资源管理技术,恢复苇田的水文过程和生境。至2008年,苇田水环境盐度和碱度分别下降了92．21％和90．96％,平均每年下降30．55％和29．06％;苇田地表0～20cm土体脱盐率59．70％,平均每年下降14．06％;土壤有机质含量增加105．37％;芦苇产量增加697．67％。试验结果表明,采用过程导向策略,恢复与重建因水文过程功能丧失而导致退化的芦苇湿地,综合应用工程、生物、农艺及水资源优化管理等措施,可促进苇田生物与生境的恢复,再建水文、生物等重要生态过程和恢复湿地原有的生态功能,对松嫩平原退化盐碱芦苇湿地的生态恢复与重建具有参考作用。

Deserts and Aeolian Desertification in China: Book review and some thoughts

Desertification is a global phenomenon that affects about two billion people. It occurs in arid zones where the annual precipitation is below 400 mm, partic- ularly in the marginal areas of the world＇s largest deserts. It is a result of water and wind erosion, over- grazing, global warm-ing, improper soil cultivation, and increased pressure ot population growth, and it causes degradation of soil and natural and agricultural vegetation. The direct result is less food for people and livestock, which influences pop- ulation and animal husbandry fluctuations. Despite ef- forts to combat and reduce desertification, the affected areas are annually increasing.
