Introduction to systems approaches in coastal management—The legacy of the SPICOSA project

This Special Issue reflects work developed during and following the execution of the Science and Policy Integration for Coastal System Assessment project. Theoretical and practical outcomes of case studies have been of direct relevance to coastal management not only at local but also at a European scale. Papers included here consider the long term legacy of the project for academics and practitioners involved specifically in integrated coastal zone management. These align to two themes, the first focussing on the generic application of the Systems Approach Framework to coastal management and the second focussing on the specific application of the approach at case study sites.     

Trophic ecology and vertical patterns of carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes in zooplankton from oxygen minimum zone regions

The unique physical and biogeochemical characteristics of oxygen minimum zones (OMZs) influence plankton ecology, including zooplankton trophic webs. Using carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes, this study examined zooplankton trophic webs in the Eastern Tropical North Pacific (ETNP) OMZ. δ¹³C values were used to indicate zooplankton food sources, and δ¹⁵N values were used to indicate zooplankton trophic position and nitrogen cycle pathways. Vertically stratified MOCNESS net tows collected zooplankton from 0 to 1000 m at two stations along a north-south transect in the ETNP during 2007 and 2008, the Tehuantepec Bowl and the Costa Rica Dome. Zooplankton samples were separated into four size fractions for stable isotope analyses. Particulate organic matter (POM), assumed to represent a primary food source for zooplankton, was collected with McLane large volume in situ pumps.The isotopic composition and trophic ecology of the ETNP zooplankton community had distinct spatial and vertical patterns influenced by OMZ structure. The most pronounced vertical isotope gradients occurred near the upper and lower OMZ oxyclines. Material with lower δ¹³C values was apparently produced in the upper oxycline, possibly by chemoautotrophic microbes, and was subsequently consumed by zooplankton. Between-station differences in δ¹⁵N values suggested that different nitrogen cycle processes were dominant at the two locations, which influenced the isotopic characteristics of the zooplankton community. A strong depth gradient in zooplankton δ¹⁵N values in the lower oxycline suggested an increase in trophic cycling just below the core of the OMZ. Shallow POM (0–110 m) was likely the most important food source for mixed layer, upper oxycline, and OMZ core zooplankton, while deep POM was an important food source for most lower oxycline zooplankton (except for samples dominated by the seasonally migrating copepod Eucalanus inermis). There was no consistent isotopic progression among the four zooplankton size classes for these bulk mixed assemblage samples, implying overlapping trophic webs within the total size range considered.     

渤海南部Lz908 孔海陆交互沉积的粒度特征及其对沉积环境的指示

对采自莱州湾南岸的钻孔沉积物样品进行了粒度测试和分析。样品平均粒径介于3.3Φ~6.8Φ,以极细砂和粗粉砂为主,含有少量的黏土质;分选较差;偏度表现为正偏和极正偏;沉积物粒度表现为正态、正态-尖锐和尖锐,少数表现为平坦和极尖锐。粒度象图指示了历史时期持续高的初始沉积水动能和多种沉积环境的变化,粒度参数散点图反映了多种动能影响了沉积物的沉积改造,综合判别分析对沉积环境的限定,得到了莱州湾南岸沉积物受到河水径流、潮流、波浪等共同作用形成。沉积物总体反映了莱州湾南岸长时期处于河流相和三角洲相的沉积环境,少数较细的粒度表现可能与研究区的多期海侵过程相对应。结果表明了粒度的综合分析对渤海南部的沉积环境有良好的辨识,是判断沉积环境的重要指标。     

面向对象的连云港海岸带土地利用变化及驱动力分析

以连云港海岸带为研究区,基于1978年和2010年两期Landsat影像,提取土地利用信息,分析土地利用特征及其动态变化过程;面向土地利用变化基本单元,进行土地利用变化驱动力分析。结果表明:研究期初,该地区的主要土地类型为耕地和盐田,共占研究区面积的67.14%;32 a间共有37.17%的土地发生了变化,盐田和耕地面积快速减少,水产养殖区和工矿企业用地快速增加,有限的林地资源在减少,滩涂围垦达面积46.55 km2,土地利用程度加深;变化的土地中,38.95%由经济结构调整驱动,发展潜力大;27.75%由政策驱动,存在诸多的社会和生态问题;20.49%由政策或者经济结构调整与生产力水平共同驱动,取得较好经济和社会效益;12.81%的土地由政策、人口及经济发展共同驱动。连云港海岸带土地利用存在诸多不足之处,也具有巨大的发展空间。本研究对连云港市提高土地利用的社会效益和生态效益具有重要意义。     

广西潮间带海草的移植恢复

在总结作者近年来在广西沿岸开展海草移植恢复的实践经验的基础上,吸取了国外海草恢复的部分经验,从草源地选择、种类配置、恢复地选择与整理、草源采集与定植以及恢复后的监管措施等方面,论述了广西潮间带海草的移植恢复技术,以期为中国其他地区的潮间带海草恢复提供借鉴。在广西,矮大叶藻、喜盐草与贝克喜盐草是最适宜作为海草移植恢复的种类。相对根状茎移植法,草块移植法更适用于广西。草源地与恢复地的距离极大地影响恢复工程的人力物力成本。

华北平原某集约化种植区地下水污染探讨

以华北平原某集约化种植区为典型研究区域,通过对采集的8个地下水样品及11个土壤样品分析,探讨集约化种植区地下水的污染程度,解析其污染影响机制。结果表明:该集约化种植地区土壤中残留物主要为有机氯农药,多环芳烃及邻苯二甲酸酯类有机化合物。地下水中硝酸盐含量显著增加;重金属中以Cr含量最高,但均未超标;地下水并未受到有机氯农药的污染,但仍显示有多氯联苯的输入;半挥发性有机物检出种类较多,其中残留农膜释放的邻苯二甲酸酯类有机化合物浓度最高;地下水已受到较为严重的污染。集约化种植区大量施用化肥、农药和覆盖农膜,污染负荷严重,灌溉频繁且量大,污染质运移驱动力大是地下水污染的根本原因;当地包气带中黏性土厚度不均以及井孔止水不严等因素也成为了地下水受到污染的直接原因。
