Methane (CH4) emission from coastal wetlands rice farming is a major environmental concern due to its global warming potential. Therefore, field experiments were conducted at the southern coastal region of Shyamnagar, Satkhira, to investigate the feasibility of Rice-Shrimp and Rice-Crabs mixed farming for adaptation to the changing climate and sustaining food production system. The experimental treatments were designed on rice-based diversified farming systems such as rice sole cropping with no NPKS + no soil amendments (T1), rice sole cropping following farmers’ practice (FP) without soil amendment (T2), rice sole cropping following FP with phosphogypsum (PG) amendment (T3), Rice-Shrimp mixed culture with PG amendment (T4), Rice-Crabs mixed culture with PG amendment (T5), Rice-Shrimp mixed culture + PG amendment with Spirulina (Cyanobacteria) inoculation (T6), and Rice-Crabs mixed culture + PG amendment with Spirulina inoculation (T7). A closed chamber technique was followed to collect gas samples from the rice paddy field and samples were analyzed by Gas Chromatograph. It was found that Rice-Shrimp (T6) and Rice-Crabs mixed farming (T7) practices significantly decreased GWPs compared to the rice sole cropping system. In the dry boro season, the maximum GWPs 4175 kg CO<sub>2</sub> eq. ha<sup>-1</sup> was recorded from rice sole cropping (T2), which was decreased by 30% and 36.7% under Rice-Shrimp (T6) and Rice-Crabs (T7) mixed farming practices, respectively. Furthermore, in the wet aman season, maximum GWP 4525 kg CO<sub>2</sub> eq. ha<sup>-1</sup> was recorded from rice sole cropping (T2), which was decreased by 33.0% and 38.8% under Rice-Shrimp and Rice-Crabs mixed farming, respectively. Rice grain yield was low under rice sole cropping (3500 kg/ha), which was increased by 11.0% and 14.7% under Rice-Shrimp mixed farming amended with PG and Spirulina (T6) during wet aman and dry boro seasons, respectively. The postharvest soil properties, such as soil organic matter content, redox potential value (Eh), and exchangeable K<sup>+</sup> and Ca<sup>2+</sup>, contents in soil increased significantly with Phosphogypsum and Spirulina applications, however, decreased Na<sup>+</sup> content and electrical conductivity (EC) eventually improved rice plants’ tolerance to salinity and enhanced overall productivity of Rice-Shrimp and Rice-Crabs mixed farming. Conclusively, the conversion of wetland mono rice cropping into mixed Rice-Shrimp and Rice-Crabs farming would be a feasible strategy to sustain rice aquaculture-based farming, ensure food security and mitigate GWPs in coastal wetlands ecosystem.展开更多

文摘对于脉冲星试验01星的两年实测数据,针对蟹状星云脉冲星星历经历了多次更新的特点,提出了更新标准脉冲轮廓进行X射线计时的改进方法。以一系列观测时长为实测数据分组,再采用改进后的方法进行计时分析并与改进前的结果进行对比。通过对比改进前后的计时结果,发现改进方法得到的计时残差的均方根(root mean square, RMS)平均降低了14.2%,定位精度平均提高了14.4%,估计原子钟相对频率偏差的精度平均提高了26.2%,体现了改进方法处理经历多次星历更新的Crab脉冲星观测数据的合理性和优越性。此外,改进方法对脉冲星试验01星两年观测数据的稳定度σ_(z)没有量级上的改进,说明改进方法对Crab脉冲星时间稳定度的影响不大。
文摘通过对比NICER(Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer)和XPNAV-1(X-ray Pulsar Navigation-1)关于Crab脉冲星同一时段(108天)观测数据的计时处理结果,发现在周期跃变发生前的时段(95天),NICER数据的拟合前计时残差的RMS(root mean square)为5.77μs,远优于XPNAV-1数据的拟合前计时残差的RMS 51.56μs,体现了NICER在有效面积、探测效率、数据采集等方面的优势,给未来我国的X射线脉冲星探测器研制提供了发展方向;而在周期跃变发生后的时段(13天),发现XPNAV-1数据的拟合前计时残差的RMS为55.87μs,而NICER数据的拟合前计时残差的RMS为167.27μs,周期跃变对NICER的影响更大,说明在处理周期跃变发生后时段的NICER数据时,由于NICER的观测精度非常高,需要更频繁地更新Crab星历。最后分别得到了两个探测器整段数据的计时残差。XPNAV-1数据的拟合前计时残差的RMS为55.94μs,而NICER数据的拟合前计时残差的RMS为64.34μs,这说明NICER数据受周期跃变影响更为明显,进一步证明了上述结论。
