山东渤海滨海湿地演变特征及其与人类活动相关性研究

滨海湿地是受人类活动影响最显著的地区之一,研究以山东渤海滨海地区为对象,针对1990、2000、2010、2019年遥感影像数据,运用人类活动强度模型和皮尔逊相关系数等方法,探究人类活动影响下滨海湿地演变规律,揭示人类活动与土地利用类型的一般关系,得出以下结论：（1）1990—2019年研究区湿地面积总体增加,人工湿地显著增加,自然湿地显著减少,大面积自然湿地向人工湿地转化,其中黄河三角洲是研究区内自然湿地保留最完好的地区;（2）1990—2019年人类活动强度不断增加,平均值由1990年的8.48上升至2019年的17.07,增幅为101.30%;在不同人类活动强度区,湿地对其起到的主导作用与强弱程度成反比;（3）研究期内,伴随盐田及建设用地面积的不断增加和自然湿地向其他地类的转化,人类活动中-高强度区湿地面积总量较少但不断增加,低强度区湿地面积不断减少但总量较多;（4）从各城市相关性检验结果来看,不同城市人类活动影响因素与湿地面积的相关性存在一定差异,总体上人类活动影响因素与人工湿地呈显著相关,与自然湿地呈显著负相关或不相关。研究可为山东渤海滨海地区湿地保护及应对人为过度开发湿地的行为提供科学依据和重要借鉴。     

快速城市化背景下珠江三角洲滨海湿地变化特征

自20世纪80年代初以来,随着城市化与工业化的快速发展,珠江三角洲地区人口和产业活动集聚,引发了大规模的围填海活动,导致滨海湿地大面积减少,滨海水体污染、生物多样性丧失等生态环境问题突出。利用1980年的Landsat MSS影像和1995年、2010年和2015年的Landsat TM影像,获取4个时期珠江三角洲地区的土地利用信息,结合珠三角沿海城市开发政策,分析珠江三角洲滨海湿地的变化特征及其驱动因素;利用元胞自动机模型,预测该地区未来城市发展对滨海湿地的影响。研究结果表明,在滨海湿地变化最为剧烈的珠江口区,东、西两岸区域的开发模式和开发时间存在显著差异,东岸区域的开发始于1980年,土地开发利用方式以围垦养殖和工程建设为主;西岸区域开发始于1995年,土地开发利用方式以围垦养殖为主。围垦养殖、交通建设、产业发展、保护政策等人为因素是导致珠江三角洲滨海湿地变化的主要原因。在粤港澳大湾区建设背景下,自贸区、港珠澳大桥、深中通道建设等新一轮城市和区域开发活动,可能会导致珠江口西岸区域大面积滨海湿地和东岸区域部分滨海湿地丧失。     

海南岛海岸带滨海湿地资源现状与保护对策

海南岛为海南省的主体,也是我国第二大岛,地理位置与地形独特,拥有丰富的海岸带滨海湿地类型与资源。近年来受到海平面上升、沿岸风暴潮灾害等自然因素以及旅游开发活动、港湾工程建设和围垦、养殖等人类活动共同作用,红树林、珊瑚礁以及砂质海岸等海岸带滨海湿地遭到大面积破坏,退化趋势明显。通过对海南岛海岸带滨海湿地类型、分布特征以及存在问题的深入分析,提出科学合理的保护对策。     

黄河三角洲滨海湿地的景观格局空间演变分析

利用GIS技术、RS影像和Fragstats3.3等景观统计软件,从景观面积变化、景观斑块特征和景观整体水平格局等方面,对比研究了黄河三角洲2000年和2009年湿地不同时空尺度的景观格局变化。结果表明:10 a间黄河三角洲滨海湿地海岸线和陆地面积整体呈增长趋势,天然湿地面积急剧减少,平均分维数大部分降低,湿地景观破碎度降低,多样性和均匀性指数增加,蔓延度指数增加。湿地景观格局指数的变化反映了旱田及水田的大面积种植,盐田养殖业的大力发展以及石油开采等人为活动对景观格局的深刻影响,人类活动已经成为黄河三角洲滨海湿地景观格局变化的主要驱动因子。     

1980年以来5个时期珠江三角洲滨海湿地景观格局及其变化特征

以珠江三角洲滨海湿地为研究对象,利用1980年、1990年、2000年、2010年和2015年的Landsat MSS/TM/ETM+/OLI影像数据,采用面向对象的遥感影像分类方法,提取珠江三角洲滨海湿地信息;利用土地利用动态度模型、马尔柯夫转移矩阵和景观指数等,研究5个时期珠江三角洲滨海湿地的景观格局及其变化特征和影响因素。研究结果表明,与1980年相比,2015年珠江三角洲滨海天然湿地明显萎缩,面积减少了189 km~2,人工湿地明显扩张,面积增加了284 km~2;在研究区内,天然湿地萎缩主要是由于河口水域、红树林和盐水沼泽被转变为养殖池;随着时间的推移,5个时期研究区湿地景观的破碎化程度不断加重,湿地斑块形状越来越不规则,边界越来越复杂,人类活动对湿地的干扰强度加剧,斑块类型向多样化发展;在气候变化的背景下,人口快速增长、滩涂开发、围填海活动、海砂开采和水利工程等是导致研究区滨海湿地萎缩的主要因素,其中,滩涂开发和围填海活动是使天然滨海湿地消失的直接因素。     

珠江口滨海湿地生态环境退化分析

2007和2008年秋季对珠江口滨海湿地进行了2个航次的现状调查,并选择了6条代表性断面进行现场观测和样品采集.结果显示:珠江口滨海湿地的水质污染严重,主要受化学需氧量和生化需氧量的污染,沉积物主要受铜、锌、镉、砷的污染较为严重,特别是铜污染,而且磨刀门断面很有可能存在镉污染源;高等植物主要分布在自然保护区和湿地公园,且以红树林为主;底栖生物多样性不高,均匀度一般.珠江口滨海湿地退化主要表现为天然湿地面积减少、湿地生产力不断下降和湿地环境状况持续恶化等.退化的主要原因是滩涂开发与围填海、污染物大量排放和过度捕捞与养殖等.     

基于PSR模型的闽东滨海湿地生态系统健康评价

闽东滨海湿地是我国湿地重要的组成部分,以闽东滨海湿地为研究对象,基于压力-状态-响应(PSR)模型,在压力系统、状态系统、响应系统3个层面共选取了17个指标,构建了闽东滨海湿地生态系统健康评价指标体系,并运用层次分析法(AHP)确定各项指标的权重,通过综合评价指数(CEI)对闽东滨海湿地生态系统健康进行评价。结果表明:闽东湿地生态系统健康评价值为0.377 0,处于亚健康状态。其中,压力系统的健康指数为0.413 8,状态系统的健康指数为0.359 7,响应系统的健康指数为0.388 9。主要表现在闽东滨海湿地的水质等级、土壤性状差、优势植物覆盖率低;并且由于人类活动与湿地自然资源环境之间的矛盾日益加剧,出现了生物多样性下降、湿地功能减弱、水质污染严重、生态环境退化等一系列问题,闽东湿地的保护与管理刻不容缓。     

黄河三角洲石油污染对湿地芦苇和碱蓬幼苗生长影响的模拟研究

黄河三角洲湿地是中国最具代表性的滨海湿地之一,也是中国第二大油田——胜利油田的产油区,石油污染已成为本区湿地生态系统退化的重要因子。在温室条件下模拟研究了该区滨海湿地土壤中2种不同浓度(0.5%、2.0%)石油污染对黄河三角洲地区典型物种芦苇(Phragmites australis)和盐地碱蓬(Suaeda salsa)幼苗生长的影响。结果表明,随着石油浓度的增高,芦苇和盐地碱蓬株高的受抑制程度不断增强,随着时间的推移,石油污染对芦苇分蘖的抑制作用减弱,而对盐地碱蓬幼苗的分枝数抑制作用加大。随石油浓度的增加,盐地碱蓬幼苗叶片中可溶性蛋白质含量先升高后降低,丙二醛含量和过氧化物酶活力先降低后升高,过氧化氢酶活力显著降低;芦苇幼苗则对石油污染表现出相对较强的耐受性。不同石油污染条件下芦苇幼苗叶片叶绿素含量表现出先下降后升高的变化趋势。从整体上来看,石油烃类污染对盐地碱蓬幼苗的抑制作用要高于芦苇幼苗,也说明在处理石油烃类污染物中芦苇比碱蓬更具有优势。     

福建省围填海进程及其对近岸海域生态环境的影响北大核心CSCD

围填海是开发利用海洋的一种人类活动,围填海虽然促进了福建省沿海地区的经济发展,但是破坏了滨海湿地和近岸海域的生态环境,严重影响了滨海湿地和近岸海域的可持续发展。梳理了1949年至今的福建省围填海活动的进程,可以将福建省围填海活动进程划分为20世纪后50 a的粗放开发阶段和21世纪以来的逐步管控阶段;在此基础上,分析了围填海工程对福建省海岸线和滨海湿地、近岸海域水动力和水环境、地形地貌和沉积环境、生物资源、生态系统功能等方面的影响。为消除或减少福建省围填海活动对近岸海域产生的负面影响,实现海洋经济与生态保护协同发展的目标,从加快处理历史遗留问题、优化提升生态安全格局和有序推进美丽海湾建设三方面,提出了围填海管控与生态修复的相应建议。
