长江口南、北港分汊口演变与治理

按输水输沙特征,中等潮汐长江口多年来保持“三级分汊,四口入海”地貌形态格局。第二级南、北港分汊口问题已成为当今发展重要障碍之一。近百年来南、北港分汊口呈周期性冲淤演变,1971年前后共约10年,中央沙头石头沙西10 km左右的分汊口位置最佳,河势归顺,河床稳定,南、北港都畅通。现今分汊口正处于剧烈变动时期,分汊口治理,南支及其下游河段的开发与工程须认真考虑其影响与对策。     

互花米草化学治理对天津附近海域水质和沉积物质量的影响

互花米草作为入侵物种对潮间带滩涂和盐沼具有严重的生态危害性,化学方法治理互花米草具有简便、快速、彻底和成本低等特点,但化学药剂存在一定毒性,可能会对周边环境带来一系列不利影响,然而目前有关化学治理措施所带来的环境影响的研究较少。本文基于2017年8-11月的调查数据,研究了天津市永定河河口附近滩涂互花米草化学治理对附近海域海水水质和潮间带沉积物产生的影响,对调查海域海水水质和沉积物质量进行了评价。调查与评价结果表明,无机氮、活性磷酸盐和化学需氧量（COD）为调查海域的主要污染因子,硫化物为潮间带沉积物的主要污染因子。施药后特征污染物——草甘膦检测值高于本底值,所有站位均未检出磺酰脲类除草剂。综合来看,化学治理对附近海域海洋环境的影响较小。     

上海浦东YA孔微量元素变化与历史时期水体盐度波动

浦东YA孔浅地层剖面中微量元素变化的分析结果表明,B含量和B/Ga,Sr/Ba,Cl/Br比值是反映古水体盐度的灵敏指示剂,据此建立的YA孔古盐度指数变化曲线显示,该地区近数千年来曾发生过多次百年尺度的盐度波动事件,并可能与同期海面波动引起的海水进退直接相关.这一情况说明,滨海地区沉积地层中的微量元素是海面变化研究的良好的代用指标.     

Rehabilitation of Saline Wetlands, Olympics 2000 Site, Sydney (Australia)—I: Management Strategies Based on Ecological Needs Assessment

The Homebush Bay area, Sydney, site of the Olympic Games 2000, has been largely occupied for nearly a century by an abattoir, brickworks, armaments depot and waste dumps. However, it contains remnants of original ecosystems, including two estuarine wetlands, and the Olympic Co-ordination Authority (OCA), set up to manage the redevelopment of the site, is committed to the rehabilitation of these ecosystems. The ecological approaches and rehabilitation measures used for one of the wetlands are detailed. Apart from a history of disturbance, it has for 10 years been without tidal flushing. However, these wetlands are the largest remaining in the Sydney estuary, and are significant for a number of reasons including biodiversity and waterbird conservation. The ecological parameters of the site, the results of a ‘before-restoration-impact' study, and the iterative links between science and management in the introduction of the rehabilitation measures, are presented. Criteria for success are discussed, along with biomonitoring strategies to test success.     

The Larval Fish Assemblage in Nearshore Coastal Waters off the St Lucia Estuary, South Africa

This paper reports on the composition, abundance and distribution of the larval fish assemblage in the nearshore coastal waters off the St Lucia Estuary mouth, South Africa. Ichthyoplankton samples were collected over a 12 month period from five stations located along a transect up to 2·5 km offshore, and from two stations north and south of the estuary mouth, respectively. In all, 6126 fish larvae, representing 89 families and 186 species, were collected. Larvae in the families Myctophidae and Tripterygiidae comprised 21% and 16% of the total catch, respectively. The most abundant species were an unidentified triplefin, Tripterygiid 1 and the lanternfish Benthosema fibulatum, together which contributed nearly 18% of the total catch. Larvae of marine spawners independent of estuaries dominated the catch both in terms of density (90%) and in terms of number of taxa (89%). Some larvae of estuarine-associated species were present, in addition to a few specimens of estuarine resident species. Overall the dominant environmental variable affecting larval densities was temperature, particularly for Trypterygiid 1 where temperature contributed to 9% of the variance model. Densities of fish larvae peaked in November and December 1990 (late spring and early summer) and were lowest from January to June 1991 (summer, autumn an early winter). Different taxa dominated the catch each month with reef- and shelf-associated species accounting for the peak in August and September 1990, oceanic species in November 1990 and a mixture of the two groups in December. Overall larval densities were significantly higher in bottom samples with a trend of increasing densities offshore for reef and shelf taxa. The larvae of reef and shore taxa were predominantly preflexion larvae, whilst the few estuarine spawner species that were collected were mainly postflexion. Ontogenetic patterns related to depth and distance offshore were evident for the dominant species in each estuarine-association category.The present study has shown that temporal and spatial variations in the larval fish assemblage off St Lucia are related to environmental conditions and ontogenetic behavioural patterns of certain species. The origin of many of the larvae in the assemblages off the coast of St Lucia is probably from both local spawning populations in the shelf waters off KwaZulu-Natal and spawning populations farther north in shelf waters off Mozambique. Additional studies with more detailed oceanographic measurements will further our understanding of the physical processes that supply larvae to the St Lucia region.

珠江口以东近海水域污损生物的组成与分布

于１９８６年５月至１９８７年６月期间,在珠江口以东近海水域,距岸分别为１５．７和７１．７ｋｍ、水深２７和７１ｋｍ两处布设Ｚ１和Ｚ２两个浮标调查站,以研究该海区污损生物的组成及分布状况。结果表明,在相对近岸的Ｚ１站,各水层的污损生物均以无柄蔓足类、海葵和双壳类及多毛类等华南沿岸海区常见种类为主,其中网纹藤壶占绝对优势;而远岸的Ｚ２站,则主要是有柄蔓足类和水螅,且生物的种类和数量也远远低于Ｚ１站。     

A study of heavy metal pollution in the Tinto-Odiel estuary in southwestern Spain using factor analysis

The estuary of Odiel and Tinto rivers, located on the southwestern coast of the Iberian Peninsula, receives acidic fluvial water discharges with high concentrations of sulphates and heavy metals from these rivers. In addition, a big industrial complex which efflues directly on the system is located in the same estuary. The effluents induce the presence in the estuary of high concentrations of heavy metals and phospates (nutrients). The application of factorial analysis techniques on the nutrients and heavy metal concentrations in 46 water samples taken from 32 different sampling stations located along the estuary, allows three groups of elements and compounds with a distinct origin to be determinated. So, Cu and Zn have a clear fluvial provenance, whereas PO₄ and As are clearly industrial wastes and Cl, K, Ca, Li, Rb and Sr come from the sea. From the factorial analyses we can deduce the existence of two agents controlling the behavior of the analyzed elements, which are: the tidal exchange with the open sea and the fluvial supply.

A Late Holocene Paleoecological Record from Torrey Pines State Reserve, California

Paleoenvironments of the Torrey Pines State Reserve were reconstructed from a 3600-yr core from Los Peñasquitos Lagoon using fossil pollen, spores, charcoal, chemical stratigraphy, particle size, and magnetic susceptibility. Late Holocene sediments were radiocarbon dated, while the historical sediments were dated using sediment chemistry, fossil pollen, and historical records. At 3600 yr B.P., the estuary was a brackish-water lagoon. By 2800 yr B.P., Poaceae (grass) pollen increased to high levels, suggesting that the rising level of the core site led to its colonization by Spartina foliosa (cord-grass), the lowest-elevation plant type within regional estuaries. An increase in pollen and spores of moisture-dependent species suggests a climate with more available moisture after 2600 yr B.P. This change is similar to that found 280 km to the north at 3250 yr B.P., implying that regional climate changes were time-transgressive from north to south. Increased postsettlement sediment input resulted from nineteenth-century land disturbances caused by grazing and fire. Sedimentation rates increased further in the twentieth century due to closure of the estuarine mouth. The endemic Pinus torreyana (Torrey pine) was present at the site throughout this 3600-yr interval but was less numerous prior to 2100 yr B.P. This history may have contributed to the low genetic diversity of this species.     

厦门西侧海域微微型浮游植物的时空分布及其调控机制

分别于１９９７年１０月与１９９８年４月,研究了厦门西侧海域微微型浮游植物类群组成,时空分布及其与环境因子的关系。结果表明：厦门西侧涨域微微型浮游植物在类群组成和丰度分布上存在的着在的时空变动;在类群组成上,富含藻蓝素的蓝细菌（ＰＣ细胞）在大多则站占优势（秋、春平均分别为７８％、４１％）,而真核微微型浮游植物（ＥＵ细胞）在九龙江口占优势（秋季高达８０％～１００％）;在丰度分布上,ＰＣ和富含藻红素的蓝细菌（ＰＥ细胞）呈秋季大于春季,而ＥＵ细胞秋春季则相近。与环境因子的回归分析表明,盐度是影响厦门西侧海域微微型浮游植物类群组成和丰度的关键因子,但其与细胞丰度的相关关系因季节不同而异;结果还表明,厦门西海域微微型浮游植物类群组成的多样性与该海域的异质性有关。
