Rain water at two forested sites in Guangzhou (south China) show high concentrations of SO4 2?, NO3 ? and Ca2+ and display a remarkable seasonal variation, with acid rain being more important during the spring and summer than during the autumn and winter. The amount of acid rain represents about 95% of total precipitation. The sources of pollutants from which acid rain developed includes both locally derived and long-middle distance transferred atmosphere pollutants. The seasonal variation in precipitation chemistry was largely related to the increasing neutralizing capacity of base cations in rainwater in winter. Soil acidification is highlighted by high H+ and Al3+ concentrations in soil solutions. The variation in elemental concentration in soil solution was related to nitrification (H+, NH4 + and NO3 ?) and cation exchange reaction (H+, Al3+) in soil. The negative effect of soil acidification is partly dampened by substantial deposition of base cations (Ca2+, Mg2+ and K+) in this area.  相似文献

The Laflamme Lake Watershed Area is located in a sensitive region on the Canadian Shield and is subjected to wet atmospheric loading between 17 and 25 kg ha?1 yr?1. From 1981 to 1988, the level and fluctuations of the atmospheric deposition of acidifying substances has led to various responses in the water chemistry of headwater lakes in the area. The general trend in atmospheric inputs is a gradual increase of acidifying substances from 1981 to 1985 followed by a 2 yr decrease then a return to previous values. In the two lakes with almost no alkalinity acidification has occured throughout the 1983 to 1988 period. In the four lakes with slightly higher alkalinity values, a reversal in acidification is seen when atmospheric loading decreased in 1986. Along with the interannual trends, seasonal variability to acidification occurs with sensitivity of surface waters being highest during spring melt. Sensitivity to acidification can also be altered by watershed processes and in the Laflamme Lake Watershed, soil processes are effective in altering the acidity of precipitation before it reached the lake. In this watershed, wet atmospheric inputs of H+ and NO3 ? are larger than surface water outputs while the reverse occurs for Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+, Cl? and SO4 2?.  相似文献

Humus chemistry and respiration rate, ATP, ergosterol, and muramic acid concentration as measures of chemical properties, microbial activity, biomass, and indicators of fungal and bacterial biomass were studied in a long-term acid rain experiment in the far north of Finnish Lapland. The treatments used in this study were dry control, irrigated control (spring water, pH 6), and two levels of simulated acid rain (pH 4 and pH 3). Originally (1985–1988), simulated acid rain was prepared by adding both H2SO4 and HNO3 (1.9:1 by weight). In 1989 the treatments were modified as follows. In subarea 1 the treatments continued unchanged (H2SO4+HNO3 in rain to pH 4 and pH 3), but in subarea 2 only H2SO4 was applied. The plots were sampled in 1992. The acid application affected humus chemistry by lowering the pH, cation exchange capacity, and base saturation (due to a decrease in Ca and Mg) in the treatment with H2SO4+HNO3 to pH 4 (total proton load over 8 years 2.92 kmol ha-1), whereas the microbial variables were not affected at this proton load, and only the respiration rate decreased by 20% in the strongest simulated acid rain treatment (total proton load 14.9 kmol ha-1). The different ratios of H2SO4+HNO3 in subareas 1 and 2 did not affect the results.  相似文献

The chemical composition of snowmelt, groundwater, and streamwater was monitored during the spring of 1991 and 1992 in a 200-ha subalpine catchment on the western flank of the Rocky Mountains near Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Most of the snowmelt occurred during a one-month period annually that began in mid-May 1991 and mid-April 1992. The average water quality characteristics of individual sampling sites (meltwater, streamwater, and groundwater) were similar in 1991 and 1992. The major ions in meltwater were differentially eluted from the snowpack, and meltwater was dominated by Ca2+, SO 4 2? , and NO 3 ? . Groundwater and streamwater were dominated by weathering products, including Ca2+, HCO 3 ? (measured as alkalinity), and SiO2, and their concentrations decreased as snowmelt progressed. One well had extremely high NO 3 ? . concentrations, which were balanced by Ca2+ concentrations. For this well, hydrogen ion was hypothesized to be generated from nitrification in overlying soils, and subsequently exchanged with other cations, particularly Ca2+. Solute concentrations in streamwater also decreased as snowmelt progressed. Variations in groundwater levels and solute concentrations indicate that most of the meltwater traveled through the surficial materials. A mass balance for 1992 indicated that the watershed retained H+, NH 4 + , NO 3 ? , SO 4 2? and Cl? and was the primary source of base cations and other weathering products. Proportionally more SO 4 2? was deposited with the unusually high summer rainfall in 1992 compared to that released from snowmelt, whereas NO 3 ? was higher in snowmelt and Cl? was the same. The sum of snowmelt and rainfall could account for greater than 90% of the H+ and NH 4 + retained by the watershed and greater than 50% of the NO 3 ? .  相似文献

From data on 30 headwater lakes in north-central Ontario we found that, during the spring snow melt of 1981, all lakes underwent serious declines in alkalinity. Generally, SO4 2?, alkalinity, Ca+ and Mg2+ concentrations were reduced by runoff and rain then recovered to intermediate levels after the major inputs declined. As expected, a range in responses was evident with lower alkalinity systems showing the greatest changes. The observed changes, however, were consistent with acid loading having depleted alkalinity. In calculating an input-output budget for each lake, we found that changes in Cl?, Na+, and K+ were consistent with atmospheric inputs being the major source as the difference between the expected input and the actual contribution from rain and snow had a mean near zero. There appears to be a significant, ? 45%, watershed source of sulphate that we hypothesize is from dry deposition occurring prior to snowfall and is eluted with the melting process. With refinements to a mass balance approach explaining the watershed source of SO4 2? and Al, we feel it is possible to predict springtime lake changes given a few chemical and simple morphometric variables.  相似文献

Lysimeter experiments were used to determine atmospheric input to grassland canopies. The combined effect of interception deposition + mineral weathering + mineralization was calculated from input/output budgets. Four types of lysimeters were used, either filled with very pure quartz sand or chalk grassland soil, and either without vegetation or planted with Brachypodium pinnatum (L.) Beauv., Combination of budgets for these four types of lysimeters yielded separate estimates of interception deposition and mineral weathering + mineralization. Ratios between total deposition and bulk deposition were 1.74 and 1.93 for N and S, respectively. Sources and sinks of H+ for lysimeters with chalk grassland soil and planted with Brachypodium (abbrev. CP-lysimeters) were about 10 times larger than for lysimeters without plants and filled with quartz sand. The contribution of atmospheric input to total H+-sources was 80% for bare lysimeters filled with quartz sand, and only 12% for CP-lysimeters. Bulk deposition and total atmospheric deposition of N was 1.25 and 2.18 kmol ha?1 yr?1, respectively, whereas N mineralization of chalk grassland soil yielded 1.62 kmol ha?1 yr?1, ‘Acid rain’ has only a minor influence on H+-transformations within a chalk grassland ecosystem, but N cycling is seriously affected by atmospheric input.  相似文献

Fog/cloud and rain water were collected at the mountainside of Hachimantai range in northern Japan and rain water was also collected at Akita City in order to investigate the air pollutant scavenging mechanism. The concentrations of various ions in these samples were analyzed, and the fog drop size and the wind direction were measured at each fog event. The fog at Hachimantai range had a very high total ion concentration, and was considerably acidified by non sea salt (nss-) SO4 2? and NO3 ?, compared with the rain at Akita and all sites in Hachimantai range. Using the oblique rotational factor analysis, three factors were extracted as the air pollutants; A: (NH4)2SO4+H2SO4, B: sea salts+HNO3+H2SO4, C: NH4NO3+OH?. These salts are well-known as the cloud condensation nuclei (CCN). Combining the factor analysis with the 72h back trajectory at 850hPa level, the contribution of Factor A was closely connected to the long-range transportation of anthropogenic or natural aerosol in air masses of continental origin.  相似文献

The chemical characteristics of the Urauchi River water in Iriomote Island National park, Okinawa, Japan have been studied. Concentrations of PO4 3?, NO2 ?, and NH4 + were barely detectable. We compared the concentration ratios of Mg2+/Na+, HCO3 ?/Na+, and Ca2+/Na+ in the Urauchi River to those of 60 large rivers in the world and indicated that the chemical composition of the river is most likely formed by the binary mixing of sea salt components and silicate rock weathering components. Although rock weathering in the catchments area is driven by both H2CO3 and H2SO4, the role of H2CO3 is dominant. The percentages of the concentration of each cation in the river water are almost the same as those of other rivers with drainage areas consisting of silicate rock and sandstone. Thus, the Urauchi River shows the typical chemical characteristics of a river in a silicate rock area that includes sandstone.  相似文献

We evaluated the element budgets in a forested watershed in Jiulianshan, southern China. The element input in bulk precipitation was characterized by high depositions of H+, NH4 +, Ca2+, and SO4 2?, i.e., 400, 351, 299, and 876 eq/ha/yr, respectively. The outputs of H+, NH4 +, and SO4 2? from the watershed were very low, while those of Ca2+ and Mg2+ were high, 712 and 960 eq/ha/yr, respectively. The element budgets suggested that i) the net retentions of H+, NH4 +, and SO4 2? in this watershed were high, and ii) the net release of Mg2+ from this watershed was high mainly due to weathering. The net release of Ca2+ was not so high because of the high atmospheric deposition, while atmospheric deposition of Mg2+ was not so high (130 eq/ha/yr). Decrease of acid neutralizing capacity in the soil, i.e., net soil acidification, was caused mainly by the net release of Mg2+. Moreover, the net retention of SO4 2? also contributed to soil acidification.  相似文献

Chemical composition of fog and rain water was studied during a 47-day experimental period. The differences between the fog and rain water were found to be significantly for most analyzed ions. H+, NH4 +, NO3 ?, and SO4 2? made up 85% of the total median ion concentration in fog and 84% in rain water. The total mean equivalent concentration was 15 times higher in the fog than in the rain water. The fog water samples were classified according to their air mass history. The analysis of the 120 h backward trajectory led to the identification of three advection regimes. Significant differences of ion concentrations between the respective classes were found. Air masses of class I travelled exclusively over the Pacific Ocean, class II were carried over the Philippines, and class III were advected from mainland China. The turbulent fog water deposition was determined by the means of the eddy covariance method. The total (turbulent plus gravitational) fog water fluxes ranged between +31.7 mg m?2 s?1 and ?56.6 mg m?2 s?1. Fog water droplets with mean diameters between 15 μm and 25 μm contributed most to the liquid water flux. The sample based nutrient input was calculated on the basis of the occult and wet deposition, and the concentrations of the simultaneously collected fog and rainwater samples, respectively. The nutrient input through wet deposition was about 13 times higher than through occult deposition.  相似文献

Fogwater, fog drip and rainwater chemistry were examined at a tropical seasonal rain forest in Xishuangbanna, southwest China between November 2001 and October 2002. During the period of observation, 204 days with the occurrence of radiation fog were observed and the total duration of fog was 1949 h, of which 1618 h occurred in the dry season (November to April), accounting for 37.0% of the time during the season. The mean pH of fogwater, fog drip and rainwater were 6.78, 7.30, and 6.13, respectively. The ion with the highest concentration for fog- and rainwater was HCO3 ?, which amounted to 85.2 and 37.3 μeq l?1, followed by Ca2+, Mg2+ and NH4 +. Concentrations of NO3 ?, HCO3 ?, NH4 +, Ca2+, and K+ in fogwater samples collected in the dry season were significantly greater when compared to those collected in the rainy season. It was found that the ionic concentrations in fog drip were higher than those in fogwater, except for NH4 + and H+, which was attributed to the washout of the soil- and ash-oriented ions deposited on the leaves and the alkaline ionic emissions by the leaves, since biomass burns are very common in the region and nearby road was widening.  相似文献

Chemical and Statistical Analysis of Precipitation in Singapore   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  
The results of chemical analyses of precipitation samples collected in Singapore between August 1997 and July 1998 are presented. Major inorganic and organic ions were determined in 169 rain samples collected using an automated wet-only sampler. The daily sample pH values ranged from 3.49 to 6.54 with a volume-weighted mean of 4.50, and about 88% of the samples had pH values less than 5.0 Nss-SO4 2? accounted for about 53 % of the sum of anions in rain, whereas chloride, nitrate, formate, and acetate accounted for the remainder. Rain chemistry data were analyzed using principal component analysis to find possible sources of the measured chemical species. Three components that accounted for 83.5% of the total variance were extracted: sea-spray (Na+, Cl? and and Mg2+) and soil particles (Ca2+ and K+), acid factor (nss-SO4 2?, NO3 ?, NH4 +, and H+), and biomass burning (HCOO? and CH3COOO?).  相似文献

Rain samples were collected sequentially by amount (≈2.7 mm each) from individual events at a single, relatively isolated, suburban site from August 1977 to July 1980. Rain pH's for ≤ 3 mm samples closely fit a monomodal Gaussian distribution with a median of 4.50 and a standard deviation of 0.39. The variability in pH was primarily interevent as opposed to intraevent. The 3-yr volume-weighted pH was 4.35 ± 0.02 for 3.16 m collected; annual pH's were 4.31, 4.37, and 4.38, and cumulative H+ deposition was 141 mg H+ m?2. Event-averaged rain pH and meteorological and air quality data were correlated. Low pH was associated with low rainfall volume and rate; rain after several dry days; rains with northeast surface winds; high SO2, NO2, and O3 in the ambient atmosphere; and high, strongly correlated, SO4 = and NO3 ? rainwater concentrations. The lowest 3-yr seasonal average pH (4.31) occurred during summer; values for other seasons were ≈4.37. Average intraevent H+ molarity (volume-weighted) was accurately characterized by 6.89 E?5 *(mm ram)?0.215. The relative merits of composite (e.g., whole event) and sequential sampling are examined.  相似文献

We estimated the total inorganic fluxes of nitrogen (N), sulfur (S), chloride (Cl?, sodium (Na+, calcium (Ca2+, magnesium (Mg2+, potassium (K+ and hydronium (H+. The resistance deposition algorithm that is programmed as part of the CALMET/CALPUFF modeling system was used to generate spatially-distributed deposition velocities, which were then combined with measurements of urban and rural concentrations of gas and particle species to obtain dry deposition rates. Wet deposition rates for each species were determined from rainfall concentrations and amounts available from the National Acid Deposition Program (NADP) monitoring network databases. The estimated total inorganic nitrogen deposition to the Tampa Bay watershed (excluding Tampa Bay) was 17 kg-N ha?1 yr?1 or 9,700 metric tons yr?1, and the ratio of dry to wet deposition rates was ～2.3 for inorganic nitrogen. The largest contributors to the total N flux were ammonia (NH3 and nitrogen oxides (NO x at 4.6 kg-N ha?1 yr?1 and 5.1 kg-N ha?1 yr?1, respectively. Averaged wet deposition rates were 2.3 and 2.7 kg-N ha?1 yr?1 for NH4 + and NO3 ?, respectively.  相似文献

Substrates have been increasingly used in recent years for carnation crops. Burnt rice husk (BRH) is widely available and used as a substrate in Colombia. The present work aims to compare the effects of two aqueous extraction methods on the chemical contents. Saturated and 1:1 (v/v) extractions were performed in three replications. Ionic forms of the macronutrients (NO3?, NH4+, PO4H2?, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, and SO42?, in meq L?1), micronutrients (Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, and B, in mg L?1), Cl?, CO3 H? in meq L?1, electrical conductivity in dS m?1, and pH were analyzed. Except for NH4+, Cl?, and B the determination coefficient R2 was greater than 95 percent. Average values and standard errors of data have been used to define suitable intervals for 1:1 extractions. Proposed intervals for 1:1 extracts are consistent with the saturated extract and therefore are a good tool to optimize the management of fertigation in those crops.  相似文献

Elution of Cl?, SO4 2?, NO3 ?, and H+ often occurred in that order at a site in the central Sierra Nevada, California, that receives an annual average of 1000 cm of snowfall which is low in acidic components. During eight winter periods of above-base level snowpack outflow, and one spring melt period, on the average 25% of the ions were discharged at the following percentages of outflow volumes: Cl? at 11%, NO3 ? at 13%, SO4 2? at 18%, and H+ at 20%. Seven of eight winter outflows were associated with low ionic strength rainfall onto the snowpack. Mean solute concentrations during the first 25% and first 50% of the total outflow were significantly greater than during the last 75% and last 50% of the total outflow for Cl?, NO3 ?, and SO4 2?, but not for H+. Maximum solute concentrations were up to 2.9 times the overall event volume-weighted mean concentrations for Cl?, 3.7 times for NO3 ?, 3.0 times for SO4 2?, and 2.9 times for H+.  相似文献

In recent years, acid rain has been a social problem all over the world. In Japan, it is also a big problem especially in the metropolitan area. Then, we have measured major ions such as H+, Na+, NH4 +, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Cl?, NO3 ?, and SO4 2? in precipitation and dry deposition samples which had been collected at 9 sampling sites at Hiyoshi, Mita, Kashiwa, Shiki, Fujisawa, Yokosuka, Mitaka, Hachiouji, and Ashikaga in Tokyo Metropolitan area for 10 years since 1990. The average pH of precipitation in their sites was 4.56 (n=1906). As the results of multiple regression analysis showed that pH of precipitation was determined by 5 ions such as NH4 +, nssCa2+(non sea salt calcium), nssCl?(non sea salt chloride), NO3 ?, nssSO4 2?(non sea salt sulfate) in the most of the sampling sites. Therefore, it is very important to investigate the behavior of these ions to understand the acidification of rain in Tokyo Metropolitan area. In this study, a long term trend of each ion concentration in precipitation and wet deposition was also investigated the base on the data we had observed at 7 sites for 10 years by the statistical method.  相似文献

In the Vosges Mountains (NE of France), integrated plot-catchment studies have been carried out since 1985 in the Strengbach basin to study the influence of acid atmospheric inputs on surface water quality and element budgets. In this paper, available mid-term time series (1985–1991) have been considered to detect obvious trends, if any, in surface water chemistry and element budgets. Air quality data showed a slight decline for SO2, whereas NO2 slightly increased over the period, but these trends are not very significant. This is in agreement with increased N concentration (mainly as NH 4 + ) and with the stability of SO 4 2? in open field precipitation. Because of a significant decrease in rainfall amount over the period, only inputs of NH 4 + increased significantly whereas H+ and SO 4 2+ inputs declined. In spring and streamwaters, pH and dissolved Si concentration increased mainly as a result of a reduced flow. Na+, K+, Cl? and HCO-3~? concentrations remained stable whereas Ca2+, Mg2+ and SO 4 2+ concentrations declined significantly. Only NO 3 ? concentration increased significantly in springwaters. The catchment budgets revealed significant losses of base cations, Si and SO 4 2? . These losses decreased over the period. Nitrogen was retained in the ecosystem. However, a longer record is needed to determine whether or not changes in surface water chemistry have resulted from short-term flow reductions or long-term changes in input-output ion budgets. This is specially true with N because the decline in SO 4 2? output was accompanied by N accumulation.  相似文献

Information on atmospheric inputs, water chemistry and hydrology were combined to evaluate elemental mass balances and assess temporal changes in elemental transport from 1983 through 1992 for the Arbutus Lake watershed. This watershed is located within a northern hardwood ecosystem at the Huntington Forest within the central Adirondack Mountains of New York (USA). Changes in water chemistry, including increasing NO3 ? concentrations (1.1 μmol c , L?1 yr-1), have been detected during this study period. Starting in 1991 hydrological flow has been measured from Arbutus Lake and these measurements were compared with predicted flow using the BROOK2 hydrological simulation model. The model adequately (r2=0.79) simulated flow from this catchment and was used to estimate drainage for earlier periods when direct hydrological measurements were not available. Modeled drainage water losses coupled with estimates of wet and dry atmospheric deposition were used to calculate solute budgets. Export of SO4 2? (831 mol c ha?1 yr?1) from the greater Arbutus Lake watershed exceeded estimates of atmospheric deposition in an adjacent hardwood stand suggesting an additional source of S. These large drainage losses of SO4 2? also contributed to the drainage fluxes of basic cations (Ca2+, Mg2+, K+ and Na+). Most of the atmospheric inputs of inorganic N were retained (average of 74% of wet precipitation and 85% total deposition) in the watershed. There were differences among years (56 to 228 mol ha?1 yr?1) in drainage water losses of N with greatest losses occurring during a warm, wet period (1989–1991).  相似文献

The changes in ionic contents were studied in acidic precipitation samples collected for precipitation events in Taipei, which is near the sea. The storage cases under investigation include filtration, refrigeration, and light. Thus the experimental design leads all precipitation samples collected in the same rain event stored under different conditions. They were then analyzed six times successively within two months to provide the information containing potential ionic composition change. The measured constituents are H+, K+, Na+, Ca2+, Mg2+, NH4 +, NO3 ?, SO4 2?, and Cl?. The comparison of measured ionic concentrations corresponding to different storage methods yield no significant difference. The increases of NO3 ? and decreases of NH4 + with time were observed to be of similar magnitude, while the variation of pH values is significant. The presented study indicated the important role played by sample storage in determining the ionic composition of precipitation samples.  相似文献
