南方稻区绿肥生态服务功能及生态价值评估研究   总被引:9,自引:4,他引:5  
为探究我国南方稻区绿肥种植的生态服务价值,本文以我国南方稻区农田引入绿肥紫云英为例,界定了稻田种植紫云英的生态服务功能,并运用实际市场法、替代市场法和虚拟市场法等研究方法,构建了绿肥生态价值评估的理论模型,核算了绿肥的生态服务价值,得到了以下研究结论:1)南方稻区绿肥生态服务功能主要涉及调节和支持两类,调节服务包括气体调节、水分涵养和土壤保持3种功能,支持服务则包括土壤有机质累积和土壤营养物质循环两种功能;对应地,南方稻区农田轮作冬绿肥紫云英的生态价值也被界定为以上5种。2)南方稻区冬闲田种植紫云英在一个轮作周期中能够产生1.125万元·hm-2的生态价值,其中,气体调节价值最大,为0.380万元·hm-2,其次是土壤有机质累积价值,为0.279万元·hm-2,营养物质循环价值和土壤保持价值分别为0.204万元·hm-2和0.214万元·hm-2,土壤水分涵养价值最小,为0.048万元·hm-2。3)南方稻区绿肥种植投入成本为0.173万元·hm-2,绿肥种植所产生的生态价值是种植投入成本的6.5倍。研究表明农田冬种绿肥紫云英的生态服务价值是客观存在的。该研究为南方稻区绿肥引入冬闲田后生态价值的评估提供了较为科学的研究方法和基础参数,同时,也为未来政府制定绿肥种植的生态补偿机制提供了理论依据。  相似文献

丹江上游商洛市畜禽粪便排放量与耕地污染负荷分析   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
南水北调中线上游水源地保护与水质持续安全一直是研究的重点之一。商洛市辖商州区、丹凤县和商南县被规划为丹江流域上游“水源地安全保护区”。掌握该地区畜牧养殖业发展情况、估算畜禽粪便的排放量、分析该地区常用耕地对畜禽粪便及其污染物的消纳能力、评估畜禽粪便可能造成的污染风险等是科学管控畜牧养殖业和有效实施水源地保护的基础性研究。目前,该地区尚无这些方面具体的成果和资料。本研究采用畜禽粪便排泄系数方法,估算了丹江上游流域自上游至下游的商洛市辖商州区、丹凤县、商南县2014—2016年各类畜禽粪便排放量,依据3区县的常年耕地面积分析了畜禽粪便猪粪当量耕地负荷,确定了当前商洛地区畜禽粪便猪粪当量最大适宜耕地负荷标准,并评估了3区县畜禽粪便耕地负荷的污染风险。结果表明:1)商州区、丹凤县和商南县年度平均畜禽粪便排放量猪粪当量分别为5.732×105 t·a-1、9.321×105 t·a-1和1.274×106 t·a-1;其中猪与禽的粪便占到总粪便排放量的68.06%。2)3区县畜禽粪便排放量猪粪当量耕地负荷依次为27.04 t·hm-2·a-1、76.72 t·hm-2·a-1和90.10 t·hm-2·a-1。3)商洛市畜禽粪便排放量猪粪当量最大适宜耕地负荷标准为61.22 t·hm-2·a-1。4)3区县畜禽粪便耕地负荷的污染风险警报级别分别是:商州区为Ⅱ级,稍有污染风险;丹凤县和商南县均为Ⅳ级,有较严重的污染风险。5)商州区、丹凤县和商南县的总氮平均耕地负荷分别为159 kg·hm-2·a-1、450 kg·hm-2·a-1和530 kg·hm-2·a-1,总磷平均耕地负荷分别是51 kg·hm-2·a-1、179kg·hm-2·a-1和199 kg·hm-2·a-1,生化需氧量平均耕地负荷分别为716 kg·hm-2·a-1、2 275 kg·hm-2·a-1和2 595kg·hm-2·a-1,化学需氧量平均耕地负荷分别为768 kg·hm-2·a-1、2 345 kg·hm-2·a-1和2 667 kg·hm-2·a-1,NH3-N平均耕地负荷分别为65 kg·hm-2·a-1、201 kg·hm-2·a-1和232 kg·hm-2·a-1。总之,商洛市商州区、丹凤县和商南县的畜禽养殖总量大,养殖结构不合理;商洛市常用耕地面积相对较少,畜禽粪便的耕地负荷及其污染物负荷均较大,且形成自上游到下游急剧增加的态势;商洛市超量污染物排放会造成氮素和磷素等成分的淋溶和流失,对于南水北调水源地的水质安全构成较大的潜在威胁。  相似文献

Staff members of the Department of Botany of Palacký University in Olomouc and Gene Bank Department – Workplace Olomouc, Research Institute of Crop Production in Prague, Czech Republic, conducted an expedition in seven European countries (Austria, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Switzerland) in August/September 1999 to collect wild Lactuca spp. germplasm and study its geographic distribution, ecology and biodiversity. During the mission, more than 600 locations were visited resulting in the collection of 602 seed samples (accessions) of wild Lactuca species and 13 seed samples of related genera (Chondrilla and Mycelis). Lactuca serriola f. serriola, L. serriola f. integrifolia, L. saligna and L. viminea subsp. chondrilliflora were prevalent in southern Europe (Italy, France), however, only L. serriola was common in central and western Europe (Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland). The greatest diversity of Lactuca species was found in France, where also the most seed samples (165) were collected. The most characteristic habitats with a high density of Lactuca spp. populations were observed along roads and highways, grassy ditches, ruderal communities, and dust-heaps. Natural infections by powdery mildew (Erysiphe cichoracearum) and downy mildew (Bremia lactucae) on some wild Lactuca spp. were observed. Recent observations concerning the geographic distribution, population structure, habitats, and natural occurrence of diseases of Lactuca spp. are discussed. This assemblage of genetic resources of Lactuca spp. can serve as the basis of future studies of species diversification, spatial population structure, plant microevolution, domestication processes, and genetic variability of host-parasite interactions.  相似文献

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a new technique for the analysis of plant material. This study investigates the application of LIBS to pasture-based plant samples. The LIBS measurements were obtained from pelletized pasture samples (100 samples) that had been also analyzed by inductively coupled plasma–optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) following microwave digestion for calibration and comparison purposes. Comparisons for elements sodium (Na), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), boron (B), phosphorus (P), and sulfur (S) showed that LIBS could be used for almost all the standard profile total elements with concentrations down to low mg/kg levels (observed error of Na: 0.024 percent, K: 0.18 percent, Mg: 0.016 percent, Ca: 0.073 percent, P: 0.017 percent, Mn: 31 mg/kg, Fe: 150 mg/kg, Zn: 6.6 mg/kg, and B: 1.1 mg/kg). Elemental analysis at less than mg/kg levels was not possible using LIBS. The elements S and Cu were particularly difficult to analyze with reliability using LIBS at the concentration levels found in the plant samples. Replacing microwave digestion and subsequent ICP analysis with a direct analysis of dried plant samples using LIBS has the potential to improve the productivity and reduce the cost of testing.  相似文献

We have studied the effect of anaerobically digested (ADMSW) and composted municipal solid waste (CMSW) on mineralization and foodweb dynamics to verify the hypothesis that ADMSW would immobilize N right after addition to soil in contrast to addition with CMSW. Another hypothesis was that the mesofauna (enchytraeids and microarthropods) would stimulate N release from the decomposer community. We measured excretion of -N and urea-N from the mesofauna and hypothesized that enchytraeids would release urea. ADMSW and CMSW were amended to pots with sandy loam and barley. The pots were divided into treatments with or without mesofauna. Mesofauna, plant N and biomass, soil N and ergosterol (fungal biomass) were measured over a 113-day period of four equidistant samplings. Soil respiration, N mineralization and N release by the mesofauna were modelled from concurrent studies. ADMSW- and CMSW-treated soils initially (<20 days) immobilized N. The amendments did not increase plant growth substantially, and this was probably due to N-limitation in the early stages of plant growth. Enchytraeid abundance was about three times higher in ADMSW- than CMSW-treated soils, indicating that ADMSW contained more labile compounds, bacteria, and microfauna. The mesofauna did not affect N-content, but the cumulated -N excreted by the mesofauna was estimated to be substantial and about one-fifth of total plant N in ADMSW. An explanation for this discrepancy might be that in the absence of the mesofauna, other members of the detrivore and microbivore community performed the mesofauna’s function. Neither enchytraeids nor microarthropods excreted urea.  相似文献

The responses of tallgrass prairie plant communities and ecosystem processes to fire and grazing are well characterized. However, responses of invertebrate consumer groups, and particularly soil-dwelling organisms, to these disturbances are not well known. At Konza Prairie Biological Station, we sampled soil macroinvertebrates in 1994 and 1999 as part of a long-term experiment designed to examine the effects and interactions of annual fire, mowing, and fertilization (N and P) on prairie soil communities and processes. For nearly all taxa, in both years, responses were characterized by significant treatment interactions, but some general patterns were evident. Introduced European earthworms (Aporrectodea spp. and Octolasion spp.) were most abundant in plots where fire was excluded, and the proportion of the total earthworm community consisting of introduced earthworms was greater in unburned, unmowed, and fertilized plots. Nymphs of two Cicada genera were collected (Cicadetta spp. and Tibicen spp.). Cicadetta nymphs were more abundant in burned plots, but mowing reduced their abundance. Tibicen nymphs were collected almost exclusively from unburned plots. Treatment effects on herbivorous beetle larvae (Scarabaeidae, Elateridae, and Curculionidae) were variable, but nutrient additions (N or P) usually resulted in greater densities, whereas mowing usually resulted in lower densities. Our results suggest that departures from historical disturbance regimes (i.e. frequent fire and grazing) may render soils more susceptible to increased numbers of European earthworms, and that interactions between fire, aboveground biomass removal, and vegetation responses affect the structure and composition of invertebrate communities in tallgrass prairie soils.  相似文献

“Wicked” problems are those that are complex and that change when solutions are applied. Many conflicts in conservation fall into this category. The study approached the problem of how to constrain the apparent wickedness of a problem in the conservation management of a species by using simple empirical indicators to carry out iterative assessment of the risk to a population and to document how this risk evolves in relation to the addition of new data and the implementation of management actions. Effects of high levels of uncertainty within data and also concerning population structure were examined through stochastic simulation and by exploration of scenarios. Historical trends in the example used, the Steller sea lion, showed rapid declines in abundance in some regions during the 1980s. The current total population is 130,000-150,000 Steller sea lions through Alaska and British Columbia and this number has been stable since about 1990 in spite of regional differences in population dynamics. Regional differences in the sequence of changes in the number of pups and non-pups, suggested that an internal re-distribution of juveniles could have happened between 1980 and 1990. Current productivity also appears close to the long-term mean. Stochastic population projection using various scenarios showed that, based upon this history, the risk of extinction for the population has declined and is below reasonable thresholds for considering the population to be endangered. The trends in risk suggest that management actions taken since 1990 have probably been effective. Consequently, the conservation management objectives for the Steller sea lion are probably being met. The approach provides a mechanism, based upon experience and scenario analysis, for exploring future policy options and may help to constrain the debate amongst stakeholders about the cost-benefit trade-offs associated with different options.  相似文献

Nutrient distributions under no tillage (NT) compared with conventional disk-and-bed tillage (CT) management in the warm, humid region of the southeastern USA need to be assessed so that future placement, quantity, and type of fertilizers can be altered, if necessary, to efficiently match crop demands. We determined soil-profile distributions of pH, N, P, S, K, Ca, Mg, Na, Zn, Fe, Mn, and Cu to a depth of 0.9 m at the end of 8.5 years of continuous CT and NT management on a Weswood silty clay loam (fine, mixed, thermic Fluventic Ustochrept) in southcentral Texas. Most dramatic changes occurred within the 0–0.05 m depth, where soil under NT had lower pH, Fe, and Cu than under CT, but greater P, K, Zn, and Mn. Greater P and K under NT than under CT also occurred below the till-zone (0.15–0.3 m). At a depth of 0–0.3 m, soil under NT contained greater amounts of extractable P, K, Zn, Fe, Mn, and Cu than under CT. Nitrogen fertilization had little effect on nutrient distributions, except resulting in greater extractable K at 0–0.05 m and greater nitrate at 0–0.15 m. Few changes in soil-profile distributions were observed for extractable S, Ca, Mg, and Na. Long-term continuous use of NT on this fine-textured, high-fertility (except for N) soil had no apparent adverse effects on nutrient distributions relative to CT, but enhanced conservation and availability of P, K, Zn, Fe, Mn, and Cu near the soil surface where crop roots proliferate.  相似文献
