鄱阳湖丰水期水体中叶绿素a含量空间分布及其与环境因子的关系

在2011年8月和2012年7月丰水期,在鄱阳湖湖区布设77个采样点,大规模采集水样,研究浮游植物生物量(以水体中叶绿素a含量表示)在湖区的空间分布,并探讨叶绿素a与相关环境因子之间的关系。结果表明,鄱阳湖丰水期水体中叶绿素a质量浓度较低,平均值为10.58μg/L;叶绿素a含量的空间分布特征为:东南湖区最高,中部湖区居中,北部通江区较低。Spearman秩相关分析结果表明,水体中叶绿素a含量与水体透明度显著正相关,与总悬浮颗粒物含量、总氮含量、亚硝态氮含量、硝态氮含量和溶解性总氮含量显著负相关,与其他营养盐含量不相关。水下光照条件是限制鄱阳湖浮游植物丰水期生长的主要因素;鄱阳湖水体交换时间较短,也在一定程度上抑制了浮游植物的生长;丰水期,高水位稀释了水体中的营养盐浓度,从而掩盖了其对浮游植物的作用,导致营养盐的作用不明显。     

洪泽湖典型水生植物群落碳储量

于2012年4月6日、7月5日、9月8日和12月11日,在洪泽湖湿地国家级自然保护区内,进行典型植物群落调查,选取芦苇(Phragmites australis)、荷花(Nelumbo nucifera)、水花生(Alternanthera philoxeroides)、浮萍(Lemna minor)、金鱼藻(Ceratophyllum demersum)和菹草(Potamogeton crispus)群落为研究对象,研究这些植物群落的生物量、植物碳储量和土壤碳储量。结果表明,在各植物群落的平均生物量中,芦苇群落的平均生物量最大,为4 553.47g/m2;芦苇群落地下部分与地上部分生物量的平均根冠比为3.03,荷花群落为0.67;芦苇群落、荷花群落、金鱼藻群落、水花生群落、浮萍群落和菹草群落的平均土壤碳储量分别为5.32 kg/m2、3.83 kg/m2、2.35 kg/m2、2.11 kg/m2、1.57 kg/m2和1.33 kg/m2;芦苇群落、荷花群落、菹草群落、金鱼藻群落、水花生群落和浮萍群落的平均植物碳储量分别为2.25 kg/m2、0.51 kg/m2、0.19 kg/m2、0.11 kg/m2、0.09 kg/m2和0.05 kg/m2;芦苇群落、荷花群落、金鱼藻群落、水花生群落、浮萍群落和菹草群落的平均碳储量分别为7.57 kg/m2、4.34 kg/m2、2.46 kg/m2、2.20 kg/m2、1.62 kg/m2和1.52 kg/m2。     

Zooplankton community structure in relation to environmental factors and ecological assessment of water quality in the Harbin Section of the Songhua River

To study the relationship between zooplankton community structure and environmental factors and water quality in the Harbin Section of the Songhua River, investigations were carried out in June, August, and October 2011. Canonical correspondence analysis （CCA） and saprobic indices were used to process and analyze the data. Seasonal variability was identified as a significant source of variation, which explains the fluctuation in zooplankton density. In autumn, the dry season, water residence time increased and zooplankton biomass and abundance accumulated in the slow flowing waters. Zooplankton abundance increased when food conditions improved. Therefore, the total zooplankton abundance in autumn is much higher than that in spring and summer. According to the saprobic indices, all the sample sites had mesosaprobic water and water quality was worse in autumn. CCA revealed that temperature accounted for most of the spatial variation in the zooplankton community. Moreover, pH, dissolved oxygen saturation, and turbidity were important factors affecting zooplankton community distribution.     

Effects of Nitrogen Addition on Plant Functional Traits in Freshwater Wetland of Sanjiang Plain,Northeast China

To clarify the responses of plant functional traits to nitrogen（N） enrichment, we investigated the whole-plant traits（plant height and aboveground biomass）, leaf morphological（specific leaf area（SLA） and leaf dry mass content（LDMC）） and chemical traits（leaf N concentration（LNC） and leaf phosphorus（P） concentration（LPC）） of Deyeuxia angustifolia and Glyceria spiculosa following seven consecutive years of N addition at four rates（0 g N/（m^2·yr）, 6 g N/（m^2·yr）, 12 g N/（m^2·yr） and 24 g N/（m^2·yr）） in a freshwater marsh in the Sanjiang Plain, Northeast China. The results showed that, for both D. angustifolia and G. spiculosa, N addition generally increased plant height, leaf, stem and total aboveground biomass, but did not cause changes in SLA and LDMC. Moreover, increased N availability caused an increase in LNC, and did not affect LPC. Thus, N addition decreased leaf C∶N ratio, but caused an increase in leaf N∶P ratio, and did not affect leaf C∶P ratio. Our results suggest that, in the mid-term, elevated N loading does not alter leaf morphological traits, but causes substantial changes in whole-plant traits and leaf chemical traits in temperate freshwater wetlands. These may help to better understand the effects of N enrichment on plant functional traits and thus ecosystem structure and functioning in freshwater wetlands.     

Distributions of Picophytoplankton and Phytoplankton Pigments Along a Salinity Gradient in the Changjiang River Estuary,China

We investigated the abundance of different picophytoplankton groups and the phytoplankton pigment ratio in relation to environmental factors such as nutrients and suspended solids along a salinity gradient in the Changjiang River Estuary.The average numbers of Synechococcus spp.（Syn） and picoeukaryotes （Euk） were （2.7 ±5.1）×l03 and （1.1±1.4）×l03 cells mL-1,respectively.Prochlorococcus spp.（Pro） was only found in the high-salinity brackish water with the concentration of 3.0× 10^3 cells mL-1.Syn and Euk numbers both tended to increase offshore and Syn showed a larger variation in cell abundance than Euk.The contribution of picophytoplankton to total phytoplankton biomass increased with increasing salinity and decreasing nutrient concentrations from the estuary to the open ocean.The response of different picophytoplankton groups to environmental variables was different.Water temperature was more important in its control over Euk than over Syn,while nutrients were more important in their influence over Syn than over Euk.Phytoplankton pigment ratios were different in the three different ecological zones along the salinity gradient （i.e.,freshwater zone with 0-5 range,fresh and saline water mixing zone with 5-20 range,and high-salinity brackish water zone with 20-32 range）,where three different phytoplankton communities were discovered,suggesting that phytoplankton pigment ratios can be considered as a complementary indicator of phytoplankton community structure in the Changjiang River Estuary.     

胶州湾冬季浮游植物光合作用特征原位研究

目前关于中国近海浮游植物光合作用特征的研究较少,尤其是海洋浮游藻类冬季光合生理生态方面的研究少见报道。本实验利用浮游植物荧光仪Phyto-PAM测量了胶州湾浮游植物最大光化学量子产量、快速光曲线、光化学淬灭以及非光化学淬灭,通过显微镜镜检获得浮游植物群落结构组成与丰度结果,结合相应的环境因子,对胶州湾冬季浮游植物进行了原位光合作用特征研究。结果表明:调查期间胶州湾浮游植物具有较高的光合活性与潜力,最大光化学量子产量保持在0.69左右,光能利用效率大部分处于0.2—0.3之间,快速光曲线十分典型,当光强超过1000μmol/(s·m2)后依然能保持较好的光合活性,光化学淬灭值较高;当光强超过1500μmol/(s·m2)后,相对电子传递速率开始下降,实际光量子收益达到最低,非光化学淬灭升高,此时海洋浮游植物将光合机构吸收的过量光能以热能的形式耗散掉,有效地保护了胶州湾浮游植物的光合器官不因高光强的照射而受到损伤。冬季大部分时期胶州湾浮游植物丰度极低,但是湾内浮游植物具有较强的光合活性,加上相对稳定的水文、生物等环境以及较丰富的营养盐和相对有利的营养盐结构,是推动冬季浮游植物高峰期出现的关键生理生态因素。     

长江口及其邻近陆架区夏季网采浮游植物及其影响因素

2009年6、8月长江口及其邻近陆架区的网采样品中检出浮游植物9门395种(含223种硅藻与125种甲藻)。浮游植物丰度8月(3 077.15×104 cells/m3)显著高于6月(107.80×104 cells/m3)。随长江冲淡水势力增强,位于长江口的丰度高值区8月较6月更偏外侧。种类丰富度8月高于6月,但多样性和均匀度指数略低于6月。6月尖刺伪菱形藻和三角角藻占绝对优势,8月优势种主要有尖刺伪菱形藻、笔尖形根管藻和铁氏束毛藻。骨条藻虽非优势种,但在长江冲淡水区丰度较高。相似性分析和多维尺度分析表明,浮游植物群落组成时空差异显著。典范对应分析表明,温度和盐度是分别影响6、8月群落分布的首要因子。根据水动力和化学参数,该区浮游植物群落分布与环流变化和水团消长密切相关。     

山东荣成天鹅湖大叶藻形态和生长的季节性变化研究

2012年8月至2013年7月,作者逐月对天鹅湖大叶藻(Zostera marina L.)的形态特征、植株密度、生物量和生产力进行了监测。结果表明,大叶藻周年株高最高值和最低值分别出现在7月和1月;叶鞘高度、叶鞘宽度和叶宽的最高值均出现在7月,叶鞘高度最低值出现在1月,叶鞘宽度和叶宽最低值均出现在2月;大叶藻顶枝、侧枝和花枝的周年密度最大值分别出现在6月、4月和5月,最小值分别出现在1月、8月和7月;单株生物量和地上部分生物量最大值均出现在7月,地下部分出现在10月,而单株生物量和地上部分生物量最小值均出现在1月,地下部分生物量最小值出现在3月;单株地上和地下生产力最大值均出现在6月,最小值则分别出现在1月和2月。分析显示,大叶藻在冬季由于水温较低导致生长缓慢,且植株较小,在春季随水温上升,生长开始加快。水温在夏初达到大叶藻的最适生长水温,大叶藻的生物量和初级生产力达到最高值,而夏末和初秋由于水温过高导致大叶藻个体生物量、密度和初级生产力开始降低。这种季节性变化与水温的季节性变化密切相关。     

海南岛近岸海域夏初网采浮游植物群落研究

2011年夏初对海南岛近岸海域浮游植物及其水质环境进行了调查,结果显示,海南岛近岸海域浮游植物75属178种(含变种及变型),硅藻占有绝对优势,种类数最多为角毛藻属;群落以暖水沿岸型和暖水外洋种类型为主,细胞丰度范围为(3.00~7916.92)×10~4/m~3,平均值为(834.32×10~4)/m~3,呈现出由近岸海域往外海逐渐递减,由东北部往西南部逆时针减少变化趋势;夏季初期浮游植物细胞丰度分布主要受到N、P比例的影响,浮游植物丰度与温度、盐度、Si、N、P含量没有明显的相关性,从N、P的比例来看,海南岛近岸海域表现出明显的N限制。
