Quantifying the nitrogen retention capacity of natural wetlands in the large-scale drainage basin of the Baltic Sea 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
We estimate the nitrogen retention capacity of natural wetlands in the 1.7 million km2 Baltic Sea drainage basin, using a wetland GIS data base. There are approximately 138,000 km2 of wetlands (bogs and fens) in the Baltic Sea drainage basin, corresponding to 8% of the area. The input of nitrogen to natural wetlands from atmospheric deposition was estimated to 55,000–161,000 ton y1. A map of the deposition of both wet and dry nitrogen is presented. The input from the human population was estimated to 255,000 ton y1 in terms of excretory release in processed sewage water. There may also be leakage from forests and agricultural land into the wetlands. Due to lack of data on hydrology and topography, such potential nitrogen sources are not accounted for here. The capacity of the wetlands to retain the atmospheric deposition of nitrogen was estimated to 34,000–99,000 ton y1. The potential retention by wetlands was estimated to 57,000–145,000 ton y1 when the nitrogen input from the human population was added. If drained wetlands were to be restored and their area added to the present wetland area, the nitrogen retention capacity was estimated to increase to 196,000–261,000 ton y1. Our results indicate that existing natural wetlands in the Baltic Sea drainage basin annually can retain an amount of nitrogen which corresponds to about 5–13% of annual total (natural and anthropogenic) nitrogen emissions entering the Baltic Sea. The ecosystem retention service performed by wetlands accounts for a substantial nitrogen removal, thereby reducing the eutrophication of the Baltic Sea. 相似文献

Comparison has been made between Food Green No. 4 and Food Blue No. 3 as tracer dyes for indirect detection of the drugs in milk after intramammary application of a number of commonly used preparations containing antibiotics and chemotherapeutic agents.The tracer dyes had no effect on the stability of the preparations containing penicillin, penicillin ester, and sulphonamide (I, II, III, V and VI) ; after six months’ storage at room temperature, 75 to 100 per cent of the drugs could be recovered. The Oxytetracycline content in preparation IV recovered by 70 to 100 per cent after two months. There were great differences in the irritating effect of the various preparations, as determined by the cell counts of the milk, but the addition of tracer dye did not alter this effect. A direct relationship was demonstrated between concentrations of, on the one hand, tracer dye and, on the other hand, penicillin (preparations I, II, and III), Oxytetracycline (preparation IV) and sulphonamide (preparations V and VI) in milk from ten treated cows.In all quarter samples tracer dye could be demonstrated for just as long as the drugs, and often one or two milkings longer. Thus the experiments confirm the great certainty with which triphenylmethane dyes can reveal indirectly the presence of very small residues of antibiotics and sulphonamides in the milk after intramammary infusion. 相似文献

Ecology. The value of nature and the nature of value 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Ecosystems are capital assets: When properly managed, they yield a flow of vital goods and services. Relative to other forms of capital, however, ecosystems are poorly understood, scarcely monitored, and--in many important cases--undergoing rapid degradation. The process of economic valuation could greatly improve stewardship. This potential is now being realized with innovative financial instruments and institutional arrangements. 相似文献

Impacts of biodiversity loss on ocean ecosystem services 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Worm B Barbier EB Beaumont N Duffy JE Folke C Halpern BS Jackson JB Lotze HK Micheli F Palumbi SR Sala E Selkoe KA Stachowicz JJ Watson R 《Science (New York, N.Y.)》2006,314(5800):787-790
Human-dominated marine ecosystems are experiencing accelerating loss of populations and species, with largely unknown consequences. We analyzed local experiments, long-term regional time series, and global fisheries data to test how biodiversity loss affects marine ecosystem services across temporal and spatial scales. Overall, rates of resource collapse increased and recovery potential, stability, and water quality decreased exponentially with declining diversity. Restoration of biodiversity, in contrast, increased productivity fourfold and decreased variability by 21%, on average. We conclude that marine biodiversity loss is increasingly impairing the ocean's capacity to provide food, maintain water quality, and recover from perturbations. Yet available data suggest that at this point, these trends are still reversible. 相似文献

Climate change,human impacts,and the resilience of coral reefs 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
Hughes TP Baird AH Bellwood DR Card M Connolly SR Folke C Grosberg R Hoegh-Guldberg O Jackson JB Kleypas J Lough JM Marshall P Nyström M Palumbi SR Pandolfi JM Rosen B Roughgarden J 《Science (New York, N.Y.)》2003,301(5635):929-933
The diversity, frequency, and scale of human impacts on coral reefs are increasing to the extent that reefs are threatened globally. Projected increases in carbon dioxide and temperature over the next 50 years exceed the conditions under which coral reefs have flourished over the past half-million years. However, reefs will change rather than disappear entirely, with some species already showing far greater tolerance to climate change and coral bleaching than others. International integration of management strategies that support reef resilience need to be vigorously implemented, and complemented by strong policy decisions to reduce the rate of global warming. 相似文献

Increasing use of forest fuels for energy production is generating greater quantities of wood ash. In Sweden, it is recommended that this ash should be returned to the forest to counter soil acidification and avoid potential future nutrient deficiencies, but the effects on tree growth require clarification. Thus, 10 field experiments were established in Sweden in 1990–2006 to study the effects of adding wood ash of various origins, doses and combinations of both ash and nitrogen on stem growth in Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and Norway spruce (Picea abies L. Karst.) stands on mineral soil. Observations after 5–15 years show that growth responses were strongest when N was added, either alone or with wood ash. Growth responses to additions of wood ash without N were small and variable and statistically insignificant at all study sites. However, there were indications that adding wood ash may increase stem-wood growth at fertile sites and decrease it at less fertile sites. Hence, at fertile sites, it may compensate for the growth reductions that normally follow whole-tree harvests, at least temporarily, presumably due to its effects on soil N turnover. At less fertile sites, adding N is probably essential to counteract these growth reductions. 相似文献
