Mapping Submerged Aquatic Vegetation with GIS in the Caloosahatchee Estuary: Evaluation of Different Interpolation Methods

This article evaluates different spatial interpolation methods for mapping submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) in the Caloosahatchee Estuary, Florida. Data used for interpolation were collected by the Submersed Aquatic Vegetation Early Warning System (SAVEWS). The system consists of hydro-acoustic equipment, which operates from a slow-moving boat and records bottom depth, seagrass height, and seagrass density. This information is coupled with geographic location coordinates from a Global Positioning System (GPS) and stored together in digital files, representing SAV status at points along transect lines. Adequate spatial interpolation is needed to present the SAV information, including density, height, and water depth, as spatially continuous data for mapping and for comparison between seasons and years. Interpolation methods examined in this study include ordinary kriging with five different semivariance models combined with a variable number of neighboring points, the inverse distance weighted (IDW) method with different parameters, and the triangulated irregular network (TIN) method with linear and quintic options. Interpolation results were compared with survey data at selected calibration transects to examine the suitability of different interpolation methods. Suitability was quantified by the determination coefficient (R2) and the root-mean-square error (RMSE) between interpolated and observed values. The most suitable interpolation method was identified as the one yielding the highest R2 value and/or the lowest RMSE value. For different geographic conditions, seasons, and SAV parameters, different interpolation methods were recommended. This study identified that kriging was more suitable than the IDW or TIN method for spatial interpolation of all SAV parameters measured. It also suggested that transect data with irregular spatial distribution patterns such as SAV parameters are sensitive to interpolation methods. An inappropriate interpolation method such as TIN can lead to erroneous spatial representation of the SAV status. With a functional geographic system and adequate computing power, the evaluation and selection of interpolation methods can be automated and quantitative, leading to a more efficient and accurate decision.     

利用耐盐沉水植物控制滨海再生水景观河道的富营养化研究

研究了由广盐性沉水植物川蔓藻(Ruppia maritima)构建的沉水植被系统对滨海再生水景观河道的富营养化控制。实验室静态试验与工程现场中试研究结果表明:由单一广盐性沉水植物川蔓藻构建的沉水植被系统对含盐量7000~13000mg/L的再生水中的氮和磷都有较高的去除率,当河道川蔓藻的生物量达4627gFw/m2时,再生水体中总氮和总磷的去除率分别达到74.6%和85.4%。出水氮磷浓度达到了《城市污水再生利用景观环境用水质》(GB/T18921-2002)的标准。泰达再生水河道中川蔓藻的生物量与河道水体中的叶绿素a存在显著的线性负相关。因此,在景观河道之前先构建一个川蔓藻沉水植被系统,对于利用再生水恢复与重建滨海湿地,并控制水体富营养化有重要作用。     

Terrestrial and Submerged Aquatic Vegetation Mapping in Fire Island National Seashore Using High Spatial Resolution Remote Sensing Data

The vegetation communities and spatial patterns on the Fire Island National Seashore are dynamic as the result of interactions with driving forces such as sand deposition, storm-driven over wash, salt spray, surface water, as well as with human disturbances. We used high spatial resolution QuickBird-2 satellite remote sensing data to map both terrestrial and submerged aquatic vegetation communities of the National Seashore. We adopted a stratified classification and unsupervised classification approach for mapping terrestrial vegetation types. Our classification scheme included detailed terrestrial vegetation types identified by previous vegetation mapping efforts of the National Park Service and three generalized categories of high-density seagrass, low-density seagrass coverages, and unvegetated bottom to map the submerged aquatic vegetation habitats. We used underwater videography, GPS-guided field reference photography, and bathymetric data to support remote sensing image classification and information extraction. This study achieved approximately 82% and 75% overall classification accuracy for the terrestrial and submnerged aquatic vegetations, respectively, and provided an updated vegetation inventory and change analysis for the Northeast Coastal and Barrier Network of the National Park Service.

Seafloor Habitat Mapping on the Oregon Continental Margin: A Spatially Nested GIS Approach to Mapping Scale, Mapping Methods, and Accuracy Quantification

We implement a geographic information system (GIS) to map surficial geologic habitats (SGH) with varying scales at Nehalem Bank, Oregon, USA. Geologic interpretation was first used to produce a regional-scale SGH map of mega habitats. Local-scale algorithmic classification techniques were then implemented where data density and richness permitted the mapping of meso (10 m-1 km) macro scale (1-10 m) habitat features. We use a ranked-(data) density approach to assess the distribution and quality of input data for the regional SGH map. We then apply a virtual reference dataset and error matrix technique to assess the thematic accuracy of local-scale maps.

Vegetation of Mangroves： Spatial and Temporal Pattern of itsDominant Populations in Futian National Nature Reserve

The community characteristics of mangroves in the Futian Nature Reserve,Shenzhen, China are given based on surveying of 33 quadrats in 4 transects which stretch from the higher tidal zone to the lower tidal zone. The results show that there are 6 community types in this area: Kandelia candel association, Avicennia marina association, A egiceras corniculatum association, Kandelia candel Aegiceras corniculatum association,degiceras corniculatum Kandelia candel association and Acanthus ilicifolius association.Kandelia candel, degiceras corniculatum and dvicennia marina dominate the typicalquadrats. Kandelia candel can be seen at almost all quadrats, Aegiceras corniculatumdistributes mostly toward the estuary and the higher tidal zone, Avicennia marina distributesmostly toward the bay and the lower tidal zone, Bruguiera gymnorrhiza occasionally occurs toward the Estuary with one or several individuals, Acanthus ilicifolius was common towardthe higher tidal zone, as an accompanying species, Derris trifoliata was common in manymature ouadrats. Totallv. 6 snecies of man~rove plants and 3 soecies of semi-mangrove plants appear in this research area. From the higher tidal zone to the lower tidal zone, the average diameter and basal area of mangrove trees increase gradually. According to the results, the dvicennia marina dominates in average diameter and basal area, and the degicerascorniculatum trees are on the contrary. From the transect ! to the transect 4, the importance value ot dvicennia marina, Bruguiera gymnorrhiza and Kandelia candel decreases, and degiceras corniculatum increases. In this area, the Kandelia candel population and Ae giceras corniculatum population are developing populations with many seedlings and saplings, but the Avicennia marina population is in a mature stage with few seedlings and not so many total individuals. According to this research, we suppose that Aegiceras corniculatum should be developed toward the estuary and the dvicennia marina association should be protected.

Mapping fisheries in the German exclusive economic zone with special reference to offshore Natura 2000 sites

Large intensity and diversity of human activities result in an increase in complexity in the utilization of space. This paper describes the fisheries and a method to map fishing efforts and catches of different fleets by combining vessel monitoring system (VMS) data and logbook data. The method makes it possible to explore the spatial and temporal variability of fishing and the potential impacts of proposed management measures on the fisheries. The method is proposed to be used in the development of management plans for marine protected areas such as Natura 2000 sites, designated to protect vulnerable habitats and species.     

GIS支持下的长江口拦门沙泥沙冲淤定量计算

依据1842～1997年10幅不同年代的长江口海图资料,利用地理信息系统和数字化仪进行处理,建立不同时期的长江口水下数字高程模型,以此作为基础资料,实现了从横剖面、深泓线纵剖面、平面变化等不同角度对长江口拦门沙地区滩槽演变、岸线侵蚀、沙岛形成与变迁等进行研究.通过计算河槽容积,实现了对不同时段泥沙冲淤量的计算.结果表明,155a来拦门沙总的趋势是不断淤积,但不同时期淤积速度大不一样,个别时期甚至会发生一定程度的冲刷,这主要与动力条件的波动有关.1842～1997年,共淤积泥沙38.10亿t,平均每年淤积0.246亿t,约占长江来沙的5%,年均淤厚为1.1cm泥沙淤积部位主要在九段沙、横沙及横沙东滩、崇明东滩三处.发生冲刷的范围较小,仅占总面积的21.4%,主要在北槽,北港上段和南槽局部也有轻微的冲刷发生.     

A GIS modelling framework to evaluate marine spatial planning scenarios: Co-location of offshore wind farms and aquaculture in the German EEZ

The concept of co-location of marine areas receives an increased significance in the light of sustainable development in the already heavily used offshore marine realm. Within this study, different spatial co-location scenarios for the coupling of offshore aquacultures and wind farms are evaluated in order to support efficient and sustainable marine spatial management strategies. A Geographic Information System (GIS) and multi-criteria evaluation (MCE) techniques were combined to index suitable co-sites in the German exclusive economic zone of the North Sea. The MCE was based on criteria such as temperature, salinity or oxygen. In total, 13 possible aquaculture candidates (seaweed, bivalves, fish and crustaceans) were selected for the scenario configuration. The GIS modelling framework proved to be powerful in defining potential co-location sites. The aquaculture candidate oarweed (Laminaria digitata) revealed the highest suitability scores at 10–20 m depth from April to June, followed by haddock (Melanogrammus aeglefinus) at 20–30 m depth and dulse (Palmaria palmata) and Sea belt (Saccharina latissima) at 0–10 m depth between April and June. In summary, results showed several wind farms were de facto suitable sites for aquaculture since they exhibited high suitability scores for Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA) systems combining fish species, bivalves and seaweeds. The present results illustrate how synergies may be realised between competing needs of both offshore wind energy and offshore IMTA in the German EEZ of the North Sea. This might offer guidance to stakeholders and assist decision-makers in determining the most suitable sites for pilot projects using IMTA techniques.     

珠江口水域浮游生态系统中磷的循环及其效应评估

根据现场调查和室内试验工作, 计算珠江口水域浮游植物有效光合作用水体体积, 同时研究浮游动物摄食行为对磷再生的补偿作用, 进而对该水域磷的生物利用状况进行初步评估。分析珠江口2002—2003年的数据发现, 珠江口水域浮游植物有效进行光合作用水体的体积存在季节性变化, 枯水期约为9.7×104m3, 而丰水期约为6.6×104m3。该水域总初级生产量在枯水期约为36kg.d-1, 在丰水期约为31kg.d-1, 呈现枯水期大于丰水期的特点。浮游动物的摄食作用可促进水体中磷的再生, 这部分磷可满足浮游植物生长对磷需求的1.5%—15.6%, 并呈现丰水期大于枯水期的特点。浮游动物摄食作用直接释放的量远大于其自身生理周转释放的量。     

基于PSR模型的珠江口海域富营养化特征与评价

本研究依据2020年4月(春季)和2020年10月(秋季)珠江口海域的调查数据,根据“压力-状态-响应”(PSR)模型对珠江口海域进行富营养化状况评价,并通过主成分分析以及相关性分析来说明各环境因子对珠江口富营养化的影响。结果表明：在“优、良、中、差、劣”5个富营养化等级中,珠江口PSR综合评价等级为“差”等级,近几年内变化趋于稳定。有机污染物与营养盐对珠江口富营养化的影响较大,其次为叶绿素a和溶解氧。珠江口营养盐与盐度呈显著负相关,与叶绿素a呈显著正相关。周边城市的陆源排放输入是导致珠江口富营养化的主要因素,河口稀释混合作用以及浮游植物对珠江口的富营养化程度有影响。     

长江口理化因子影响初级生产力的探索Ⅰ.营养盐限制的判断方法和法则在长江口水域应用

营养盐限制浮游植物的生长是近年来国际研究的热点。探讨了目前营养盐限制的判断方法，认为仅靠氮和磷比值来得到磷限制或氮限制的结论是不完善的。根据营养盐限制的判断方法和法则，对长江口水域进行综合分析，认为在长江口及其附近海域，磷不是浮游植物生长的限制因子，而且氮、磷的浓度值都高于限制浮游植物生长的阈值，满足浮游植物的生长。通过1985年8月至1986年8月的长江口调查数据分析，发现从长江河口到远海水域的有些断面上，磷酸盐浓度并不一定离岸越远越低，且也没有周期性的季节变化。因此，尚须对河口区磷酸盐来源作进一步研究。

沿海区域不同坐标系统转换方法研究

沿海区域的测绘资料主要采用1954年北京坐标系、1980西安坐标系和2000国家坐标系(旧称WGS84坐标系),造成使用不便,需要构建这些系统之间的转换关系。不同方法和不同分区的大量试算表明,1980西安坐标系与WGS84坐标系可以采用7参数转换模型,3个分区和5个分区的精度都能达到0.5 m,其中5个分区的精度较好。由于1954年北京坐标系的特殊性,简单的7参数模型不能确保系统的转换精度,1954年北京坐标系与WGS84坐标系最好采用曲面拟合方法实现坐标转换,整个沿海区域采用6个分区,精度可以达到0.5 m以内的转换要求。
