基于植被指数模型的淡水湖泊湿地景观信息提取

高邮湖湿地是江苏省重要湿地之一,对生态、环境控制、调节气候和保护生物多样性具有重要意义。采用2007年的LandsatTM影像作为遥感信息源,选择影像的光谱特征和比值植被指数(RVI)、差值植被指数(DVI)、归一化植被指数(NDVI)、归一化差异绿度指数(NDGI)、土壤调节植被指数(SAVI)和最佳土壤调节植被指数(OSAVI)6种植被指数做了光谱特征分析,从而确定出最佳指数模型,并基于决策树方法,实现研究区景观信息的遥感分类。研究结果表明,决策树分类法易于综合多种特征进行遥感影像分类,植被指数参与到决策树分类中能够提高分类的总体精度,其总体精度达到79.58%,Kappa系数为0.721 0,分类结果理想且人工参与灵活。     

黄河三角洲滨海湿地健康条件评价概念模型

滨海湿地健康与生物学特征主要取决于区域上的水文与盐度体制以及景观尺度上的土地利用现状。然而,由于滨海湿地条件评价的指标和标准并不十分清楚,因此,对滨海湿地系统条件进行评价,目前仍是环境科学的难点。中国地质调查局（CGS）青岛海洋地质研究所与美国地质调查局湿地研究中心合作先后为美国密西西比河下游生态环境及中国黄河三角洲（YRD）滨海湿地评价建立了概念模型。本文将陈述YRD湿地评价的概念模型。此模型的建立在于确定滨海湿地当前的条件和随时间改善或退化的过程,以及确定优先管理的区域。CGS项目之所以选取YRD作为滨海湿地的研究对象主要是因为它具有重要的生态意义。由于上游来水减少或黄河断流,该区湿地生境十分脆弱。本文提出此概念模型可为今后湿地条件评价指标确定、调查研究活动和数据采集提供指导。通过该模型的构建,使环境变化可用具体指标来度量,从而服务于滨海湿地生态系统的保护与管理活动。     

东北北部冻土退化与寒区生态环境变化

我国东北地区位于中高纬度欧亚大陆东缘,大、小兴安岭多年冻土区是欧亚大陆高纬冻土区向南最突出的部位,属于高纬山地冻土.东北多年冻土区是我国,乃至全球范围内,受气候变暖和人为活动影响最显著的冻土区之一.过去40 a来该区冻土显著退化,主要表现在:1)冻土南界及不连续多年冻土各分区边界北移而导致总面积减小、空间分布破碎化;2)活动层加深,融区扩大,局地冻土岛消失;3)冻土温度升高、厚度减薄、热稳定性降低等.由于各种因素的共同影响,寒区生态环境也发生了一系列变化.这具体表现为以兴安落叶松占绝对优势的天然林带锐减,整个北方森林带北移,沼泽湿地面积减小等,寒区生态系统和环境已出现恶性循环.关注、研究、整治和管护寒区环境对区域社会、经济和生态可持续发展不可或缺.     

A peat core based estimate of Late-glacial and Holocene methane emissions from northern peatlands

We estimate the intensity of Late-glacial and Holocene methane emissions from peatlands based on their paleo net primary production (PNPP). The PNPP is derived from the carbon accumulation rates of the studied bog profile (Etang de la Gruère, Switzerland), which are corrected for the degree of peat degradation. The obtained PNPP curve is taken as a proxy for methane emissions. It shows relatively high values (90 g C m^− 2 yr^− 1) early in the Bolling/Allerod and drops to low values (40 g C m^− 2 yr^− 1) during the Younger Dryas cold period. With the onset of the Holocene the PNPP increases strongly up to 150 g C m^− 2 yr^− 1 around ca. 10,000 Cal. yr bp. This is followed by a decline to minimum values (30 to 40 g C m^− 2 yr^− 1) between 6500 and 4000 Cal. yr bp. Thereafter, the PNPP starts to increase again to reach its highest value (175 g C m^− 2 yr^− 1) around 1000 Cal. yr bp.The PNPP curve correlates well with the evolution of the atmospheric methane concentrations as derived from Greenland ice-cores. For example, minima in atmospheric methane reported during the Younger Dryas and around 5200 Cal. yr bp are coinciding with the lowest values of PNPP and the negative atmospheric methane peak at 8200 Cal. yr bp corresponds to a marked decrease in PNPP.Our PNPP curve suggests that the methane emissions from northern peatlands evolved similar to those of low latitude wetlands and together they largely determined the evolution of atmospheric methane throughout the Late-glacial and the Holocene. The abruptness of the rise of atmospheric methane at the end of the Younger Dryas probably points to an additional source (e.g. marine gas hydrates), but very early in the Holocene the peatlands have likely become the dominant source of atmospheric methane.     

Dissolved inorganic carbon isotopes of a typical alpine river on the Tibetan Plateau revealing carbon sources,wetland effect and river recharge

The Nyangqu River, the largest right bank tributary of the Yarlung Zangbo River in the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, was representative of an alpine riverine carbon cycle experiencing climate change. In this study, dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) spatial and seasonal variations, as well as their carbon isotopic compositions (δ¹³C_DIC) in river water and groundwater were systematically investigated to provide constraints on DIC sources, recharge and cycling. Significant changes in the δ¹³C_DIC values (from −2.9‰ to −23.4‰) of the water samples were considered to be the result of different contributions of two dominant DIC origins: soil CO₂ dissolution and carbonate weathering. Three types of rock weathering (dissolution of carbonate minerals by H₂CO₃ and H₂SO₄, and silicate dissolution by H₂CO₃) were found to control the DIC input into the riverine system. In DIC cycling, groundwater played a significant role in delivering DIC to the surface water, and DIC supply from tributaries to the main stream increased from the dry season to the wet season. Notably, the depleted δ¹³C_DIC ‘peak’ around the 88.9° longitude, especially in the September groundwater samples, indicated the presence of ‘special’ DIC, which was attributed to the oxidation of methane from the Jiangsa wetland located nearby. This wetland could provide large amounts of soil organic matter available for bacterial degradation, producing ¹³C-depleted methane. Our study provided insights regarding the role of wetlands in riverine carbon cycles and highlighted the contribution of groundwater to alpine riverine DIC cycles.

The origin and disappearance of the late Pleistocene-early Holocene short-lived coastal wetlands along the Carmel coast, Israel

The formation of short-lived backswamps along the Carmel coast of Israel coincides with the rapid global sea-level rise during the late Pleistocene-early Holocene transition. The current study shows that the wetland phenomena originated around 10,000 yr ago and dried up shortly before the local Pre-Pottery Neolithic humans settled on the wetland dark clay sediments 9430 cal yr BP. Palaeontological and stable-isotope data were used in this study to elucidate previously published sedimentological reconstruction obtained from a core drilled into the western trough of the Carmel coastal plain. The water body contained typical brackish calcareous fauna, with variable numerical abundance and low species richness of ostracods and foraminifera. The δ¹⁸O and δ¹³C of the ostracod Cyprideis torosa show close similarity to the present Pleistocene coastal aquifer isotopic values. This study therefore concludes that the wetlands were shallow-water bodies fed by groundwater, with no evidence of sea-water mixing. It seems that they developed as the result of high groundwater levels, transportation of sediments landward, and deposition of sand bars at the paleo-river mouths. It is still not fully understood why these wetlands deteriorated abruptly and disappeared within less than 1000 yr.     

Hydrodynamic response of the Breton Sound estuary to pulsed Mississippi River inputs

Pulsed re-introduction of Mississippi River water into the deltaic plain has been proposed as a wetland restoration strategy for coastal Louisiana. In this study, the hydrodynamic response of the Breton Sound estuary to a two-week pulse of Mississippi River water via the Caernarvon river diversion structure was investigated using a barotropic, three-dimensional, Finite-Volume Coastal Ocean Model (FVCOM). The numerical model was driven by tidal and subtidal forcing at the open Gulf boundary, freshwater discharge from the Caernarvon river diversion structure, as well as wind stress at the water surface. After successfully validating the model with field observations, three numerical experiments were run to assess the response of current, water level, and marsh flooding to different diversion discharge scenarios. The three scenarios considered were: a pulsed scenario of ∼200 m³ s⁻¹ corresponding to the actual diversion discharge in March 2001, a constant discharge scenario of 40 m³ s⁻¹ corresponding to the annually averaged discharge of 2001, and a scenario with no discharge. Numerical simulation results indicated that constant 40 m³ s⁻¹ discharge caused little change in wetland inundation comparing to the no discharge case and, thus, inter-exchange between deep channels and the wetlands was not improved by this rate of diversion discharge. In contrast, the two-week ∼200 m³ s⁻¹ discharge caused enhanced water exchange between wetlands and adjacent water bodies, substantially increasing water velocity in the bayous and channels of the upper estuary. These effects occurred in the estuary to about 20–25 km from the diversion structure, and caused a noticeable increase in down-estuary residual current with a significant reduction of local estuarine residence times for the whole estuary. Beyond 30 km from the diversion structure, the impact of high water discharge was small and the hydrodynamics was mostly controlled by tides and wind.
