河流氮输出对人类活动净氮输入的响应

由人类活动产生的氮排放是影响河流氮通量输出的关键,本研究基于人类活动净氮输入模型和流域分布式水文模型(SWAT),计算了山美水库流域2001—2010年人为氮排放强度,模拟估算了同期的河流氮通量,对山美水库河流氮输出与人类活动净氮输入(NANI)之间的响应特征进行研究。结果表明,2001—2010年间,山美水库流域年均人类活动净氮输入强度为11 023 kg N·km^-2,其中氮肥施用量占NANI总量的60%,是NANI的主要来源;河流氮通量的年际变化特征深受河流年径流变化影响,与NANI并无显著相关;NANI、滞留氮库以及自然背景源对流域河流氮输出总量的贡献率分别达到52%、44%和4%,包括NANI和滞留氮库在内的人为氮输入是影响山美水库流域河流氮通量输出的关键因素。     

长江流域氮的生物地球化学循环及其对输送无机氮的影响——1968～1997年的时间变化分析

通过研究长江流域 1 968～ 1 997年氮的输入、输出、平衡的生物地球化学循环 ,表明长江流域 1 997年氮的输入量、输出量和储存量分别为 1 0 .0× 1 0 9、 6.7× 1 0 9、和 3.5× 1 0 9kg,分别是 1 968年氮输入量、输出量和储存量的 4、 5和 3倍。在氮的输入中 ,1 977年以前 ,长江流域氮输入主要是生物固氮 ,年均固氮量约 1 .0× 1 0 9kg;而在 1 985年后 ,化学氮肥年均输入量约5 .0× 1 0 9kg,占总氮输入的 5 0 %以上。在氮的输出中 ,1 997年通过长江大通站水体中溶解态无机氮 ( DIN)的浓度和通量分别是 1 .60 mg/ L和 1 .40× 1 0 9kg,从 1 968年到 1 997年约增加了1 0倍 ;大约 2 5 %的氮输入通过长江输送到东海 ,约 33%的氮输入通过反硝化和氨挥发进入大气中 ,剩余 42 %的氮输入储存在流域内。研究发现 ,长江流域的氮输入量 ,特别是化肥氮的输入量 ,是造成长江输送无机氮通量上升的主要因素     

土地利用方式对流域氮输入输出关系的影响——以加州San Joaquin流域为例

土地利用方式影响流域氮输入的空间分布和氮素的迁移输出过程,与非点源污染的防治密切相关.本文利用加州San Joaquin流域数据,考虑不同土地利用方式的影响,在GIS平台上分析了流域氮输入与输出的关系及其空间分布.本文提出了一个新的指标(F=CN/(L/Q))来衡量河流氮输出的变化趋势,该指标综合考虑了田间产流和河道输移两个过程的影响因子,能够描述土地利用类型对流域氮素迁移转化的影响.在实例研究中,通过该指标能够指示出研究区氮素流失的高风险区,为流域土地利用规划和非点源污染防治提供了重要的科学依据.     

黄土高原典型流域土地利用变化对蒸散发影响研究

选取黄土高原典型流域罗玉沟流域为研究区,以2006年和1986年两个时段的TM影像为原始数据,通过SEBAL模型估算蒸散量,采用地面实测资料对估算结果进行验证,表明SEBAL模型在该流域较为适用.同时,得到该流域蒸散发的空间变化规律,并结合该流域相应时段的土地利用变化进行对比分析.结果表明:(1)遥感反演日蒸散量平均为...     

不同土地利用结构下的土壤侵蚀经济损失——以贵州省猫跳河流域为例

本文以贵州省猫跳河流域为例,运用环境经济学理论和方法,计算了流域不同时期不同土地利用结构下的土壤侵蚀经济损失,分析了流域土壤侵蚀经济损失现状结构、土壤侵蚀经济损失的动态变化及其与土地利用结构的关系.结果表明:①2007年流域土壤侵蚀经济损失37381.64x104元,其中氮、磷、钾、有机质养分损失33739.98x104元,占土壤侵蚀总损失的90.26%.旱地和灌草地土壤侵蚀经济损失最大,分别占年土壤侵蚀经济损失的47.08%和44.24%.流域北部下游地区土壤侵蚀单位面积经济损失较大.②近30年来,流域年土壤侵蚀经济损失经历了由趋向增加到减少的过程.1973-1990年,流域年土壤侵蚀总经济损失增加了3092.98x104元,增加了8.74%.1990-2007年,流域年土壤侵蚀总经济损失减少了11162.43x104元,减少了22.99%.究其原因,这主要与不同时期土地利用结构具有密切关系.旱地和灌草地是流域土壤侵蚀经济损失发生的主要土地利用类型,清镇、平坝、修文是流域土壤侵蚀防治和治理的重点区域.     

基于博弈论组合赋权的洪灾风险评价及其年代际演变

运用博弈论耦合主观和客观权重,构建基于模糊综合评价法的流域洪灾风险评价模型,并以北江流域为例,评价了研究区1990、2000和2010年的洪水灾害风险,揭示了洪灾风险年代际的时空演变特征。结果表明：1）运用博弈论组合主客观权重可以避免单一权重的片面性,得到更合理的、符合实际情况的综合权重;2）北江流域3期洪灾风险总体分布相似,大多数区域表现为低风险区,高、中、低风险区占全流域面积比分别约为60%、15%和20%,高风险区主要位于清远―怀集一带,以及佛冈、翁源等地,这些地区具有地势低洼、人口分布密集、经济较发达、暴雨集中等特征;3）高风险区仍表现出逐渐扩大的趋势,在2000―2010年高风险区扩大较为显著,风险上升主要由土地利用类型、人口密度和区域经济发展等的变化所导致。     

控制水污染的有效途径：污染物排放总量控制

一、前 言 实施污染物总量控制,对控制水体污染,确保水环境质量具有重要意义。 所谓污染物排放总量控制(简称总量控制)是指在环境污染严量的地区(或流域),或即将成为严重污染的地区(或流域)内,为确保环境目标,根据该地区(或流域)的实况,定出相应的环境允许量,然后通过技术、经济可行性分析和优化方案比较,确定各排污单位的污染物允许排放量,进行有效的排污控制。区域环境允许量的确定,可以用水质标准为基点反推,即按水体功能及环境允许量确定污染物

哈尔滨沙尘沉降物物源敏感粒度组分的提取及来源分析

采用粒级-标准偏差算法对哈尔滨2006年3月10日沙尘沉降物进行了物源区敏感粒度组分的提取,获得各来源组分的粒级范围和含量,并进一步分析了不同粒级成因组分的来源.研究认为:1)19.2 μm是哈尔滨2006年沙尘天气颗粒短期悬浮和长期悬浮之界限,而152.4 μm是沙尘颗粒悬浮搬运的粒径上限.2)20 μm作为粉尘物质短期悬浮颗粒与长期悬浮颗粒之界限具有普遍性,而悬浮载荷的粒径上限则与一定的风力条件和地表状况密切相关.3)沙尘沉降物包含4个物源区组分,粒径范围分别为:<1 μm(组分1)、1～19.2 μm(组分2)、19.2～152.4 μm(组分3)和>152.4 μm(组分4).前2个组分属长期悬浮组分,其中组分1代表大气粉尘的本底值;组分2代表非本地源的远距离外源输入,可能与高空气流的搬运有关,包括甘肃和内蒙古在内的半干旱地区为哈尔滨沙尘提供了一定量的粉尘物质;组分3为短期悬浮组分,主要是区域内部沙尘天气产生,松散地表裸土是该组分的重要物源;组分4为跳跃或滚动组分,源于近源物质堆积,是就地起沙.4)哈尔滨2006年沙尘天气外源输入约占63.8%,近源和内源输入占36.2%.松散地表裸土的治理仍是哈尔滨防治沙尘天气的工作重点.     

城镇化流域地下水氮素组成特征及来源解析

为揭示城镇化地区地下水氮素组成特征及来源,以深圳市坪山区麻雀坑水流域为研究区域,分别于2020年9月（丰水期）和2020年12月（枯水期）采集民井、采样井和基坑地下水样品并分析样品中氮素的组成特征,联合硝酸盐氮氧同位素和氨氮氮同位素示踪技术,识别氮素的主要来源及转化过程,结合稳定同位素源解析模型,计算不同硝酸盐来源的贡献比。结果表明：1）麻雀坑水流域地下水氮素的主要赋存形态为NO-3-N,其次是NH4+-N。NO-2-N质量浓度相对较低,平均在“三氮”中所占的比例仅为1.2%,氮素质量浓度的季节变化不显著;2）同位素示踪信号显示地下水氮素的主要来源为污水与粪便,氮的转化过程以硝化作用为主;3）稳定同位素源解析模型结果显示,丰、枯水期地下水硝酸盐不同来源的平均贡献率排序相同,为污水与粪便>土壤氮>大气氮沉降>肥料,但贡献率大小不同。丰、枯水期源于污水与粪便的地下水硝酸盐贡献率分别为45%和74%,民井与采样井、基坑地下水中硝酸盐来自污水与粪便的比例分别为68%和82%;4）已关闭养猪场的历史遗留氮素是区域地下水潜在的氮污染来源,并影响地下水氮素的转化过程,位于地下水排泄...

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.
