A biodiversity evaluation framework for restoration of aquatic macrophyte communities in shallow lakes driven by hydrological process management

Macrophyte community diversity and composition respond to ecosystem conservation and local environmental factors. In this study, we developed a multidimensional diversity framework for macrophyte communities, including the taxonomic and functional alpha and beta diversity. We used the framework to explore the relationships among water level regimes and these diversity parameters in a case study of China's Baiyangdian Lake. Analysis of indicators of hydrologic alteration divided the water level from 1959 to 2019 into four regimes (dry, <6.42 m; low, 6.42–7.23 m; medium, 7.23–8.19 m; high, >8.19 m). Alpha and beta diversity were significantly higher in the medium regime than in the low and high regimes. Redundancy analysis indicated that the maximum water depth significantly affected taxonomic alpha diversity, and total nitrogen (TN) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) concentration significantly affected functional alpha diversity, respectively. Mantel tests showed that TN, Secchi depth (SD), and water depth in the high water level regime significantly increased the total beta diversity and turnover components. TN was the main factor that increased total taxonomic beta diversity. Water level regime mainly influenced interspecific relationships by changing the TN and COD concentration. The water level should be maintained between the medium and high water level regimes to promote restoration of the macrophyte community and improve ecosystem stability. The biodiversity evaluation framework would provide a deeper insight into the hydrological process management for restoration of aquatic macrophyte communities in shallow lakes.     

Quantifying suitable dynamic water levels in marsh wetlands based on hydrodynamic modelling

The water level of marsh wetlands is a dominant force controlling the wetland ecosystem function, especially for aquatic habitat. For different species, water level requirements vary in time and space, and therefore ensuring suitable water levels in different periods is crucial for the maintenance of biodiversity in marsh wetlands. Based on hydrodynamic modelling and habitat suitability assessment, we determined suitable dynamic water levels considering aquatic habitat service at different periods in marsh wetlands. The two-dimensional hydrodynamic model was used to simulate the temporal and spatial variation of water level. The habitat suitability for target species at various water levels was evaluated to obtain the fitting curves between Weighted Usable Area (WUA) and water levels. And then suitable water levels throughout the year were proposed according to the fitting curves. Using the Zhalong Wetland (located in northeastern China) as a case study, we confirmed that the proposed MIKE 21 model can successfully be used to simulate the water level process in the wetland. Suitable water levels were identified as being from 143.9–144.2 m for April to May, 144.1–144.3 m for June to September, and 144.3–144.4 m for October to November (before the freezing season). Furthermore, proposed water diversion schemes have been identified which can effectively sustain the proposed dynamic water levels. This study is expected to provide appropriate guidance for the determination of environmental flows and water management strategies in marsh wetlands.     

地下水位的混沌和多重分形特征演化及其中短期预报意义

采用苏20井记录到的1995年7月1日至1997年6月30日地下水位观测数据作为研究的原始资料,计算并研究了1996年11月9日南黄海 M_S 6.1地震前后地下水位系统混沌吸引子的关联维数D₂、二阶熵K₂和最大Lyapunov指数λ₁,并用推广GP法研究了地震前后系统多重分形的广义维数谱D_q。研究结果表明:地下水位系统为混沌系统,系统的自由度在3~16之间;地震过程中系统有降维减熵现象,震前广义维数谱D_q左半边曲线变陡,因而可被看作为强震前的前兆信息。此结果对今后在预报工作中认识地震前兆观测的非线性动力学特征和利用这些特征进行地震预报具有重要的实用意义。

反应HO2+O→OH+O2对OH夜气辉辐射的贡献

本文探讨了OH Meinel夜气辉辐射的光化学模式,给出OH(ν≤9)分子数密度分布的计算通式,重点研究了化学反应HO2 O→OH(ν≤6) O2对ν≤6各振动能级上OH分子数密度分布以及(ν′—ν″)(ν′≤6)振动带气辉辐射的影响.结果表明,该反应对数密度的贡献随振动能级的减小而增大,对(ν′—ν″)振动带辐射的贡献随着较高振动能级ν′的减小而增大,以春分时为例,它可使第1振动能级上的OH分子最大数密度和(1—0)带的最大辐射率增加约33%,第6振动能级上的最大数密度和(6—ν″)带的最大辐射率增加约7%,(1—0)带的辐射强度增加约30%,(6—ν″)带的强度增加约11%.该反应使各振动能级上分子数密度的高度分布剖面以及各振动带体辐射率的高度分布剖面变宽,最大数密度、最大发射率所处的高度下降1km左右.此外,该反应的影响程度随着原子氧密度的降低而增大,随着温度的升高而增大,并且在夏至时最大,在冬至时最小.     

印尼巨大地震引起的云南水位异常记录及其意义

2004年12月26日和2005年3月29日印度尼西亚苏门答腊西北海域相继发生了2次巨大地震,云南地区的地下水位观测记录到了这2次地震的大量信息。文中给出了云南水位数字和模拟记录到的印尼2次巨大地震的响应情况,并对其进行了初步分析。认为:目前的水位模拟记录较数字化记录能更清晰地看到巨大地震引起的水位异常变化过程;大震引起的水位上升和下降可能是地震波的作用改变了构造单元的应力所致,并与井点的地质构造部位有关;同一井孔对同一断层上破裂方式一致的大地震的响应方式是一致的,只是对震级大的地震响应幅度大,震级减小,响应幅度亦减小     

中国地震台网各类前兆手段地震监测能力的评价

利用1988～2005年18年间全国会商会所提出的各类定点前兆异常,研究其与下一年(1989～2006年)大陆地震的对应关系,从414次地震资料的统计中得出,除地下水位和地磁外,其它5种前兆观测手段在有震区的异常比均低于无震区或全大陆的异常比,但各手段综合异常比在有震区要高于无震区。遵照"地震监测能力好的前兆手段,在其监测范围内,有震时应有较高的异常比,无震时应有较低的异常比"的原则,我们认为地磁和地下水位是比较好的前兆观测方法。

Groundwater-level Anomalies Associated with a Hypothetical Preslip Prior to the Anticipated Tokai Earthquake: Detectability Using the Groundwater Observation Network of the Geological Survey of Japan,AIST

We infer the groundwater-level anomalies associated with a hypothetical preslip prior to the anticipated M 8 Tokai earthquake, and evaluate the detectability of the anomalies using data from seven groundwater wells. We evaluate the detectability of the anomalies under the following assumptions: (1) an Mw 5.5–6.5 aseismic preslip event occurs at the plate boundary in and around the hypothetical focal zone of the Tokai earthquake; (2) the total amount of the strain step at each observation associated with the preslip can be calculated by tensile and shear faulting based on the dislocation model; (3) a normalized strain history associated with the preslip is defined from the results of numerical simulations based on rate- and state-dependent friction laws; and (4) the groundwater-level anomaly prior to the earthquake is proportional to the estimated history of the strain change associated with the preslip. We investigate the detection time of the anomaly at seven wells given an Mw 5.5, 6.0, or 6.5 aseismic preslip at one of the 272 grid points in and around the area of the hypothetical focal zone of the Tokai earthquake. As a result, over the time interval between 1 and 48 hours prior to the hypothetical Tokai earthquake, we are able to detect at each of the seven wells a hypothetical Mw 6.5 preslip at 10–86 of the 272 grid points, an Mw 6 preslip at 0–19 grid points, and an Mw 5.5 preslip at 0–5 grid points.
