Nitrogen interception in floodwater of rice field in Taihu region of China

A field experiment located in Taihu Lake Basin of China was conducted, by application of urea or a mixture of urea with manure, to elucidate the interception of nitrogen （N） export in a typical rice field through ＂zero-drainage water management＂ combined with sound irrigation, rainfall forecasting and field drying. N concentrations in floodwater rapidly declined before the first event of field drying after three split fertilizations, and subsequently tended to rearm to the background level. Before the first field drying, total particulate nitrogen （TPN） was the predominant N form in floodwater of plots with no N input, dissolved inorganic nitrogen （DIN） on plots that received urea only, and dissolved organic nitrogen （DON） on plots treated with the mixture of urea and manure. Thereafter TPN became the major form. No N export was found from the rice field, but total nitrogen （TN） of 15.8 kg/hm^2 was remained, mainly due to soil N sorption. The results recommended the zero-drainage water management for full-scale areas for minimizing N export.

Beta-Glucosidase Activity in Paddy Soils of the Taihu Lake Region, China

The profile distribution of β-gulcosidase activity in twelve typical paddy soil profiles with high productivity in the Taihu Lake region of China were investigated. Activities of β-gulcosidase in the plow layers were in the range of 52.68- 137.02μg PNP g^-1 soil h^-1 with a mean of 89.22μg PNP g^-1 soil h^-1. However, most plow layers ranged from 70 to 110 μg PNP g^-1 soil h^-1. The profile distribution of β-gulcosidase activity in the 12 soil profiles decreased rapidly with soil depth, with activity at the 60 cm depth only about 10% of that in the surface layers （0-15 cm or 0-20 cm）. In these soil profiles, β-gulcosidase activity was significantly positively correlated with soll organic carbon and arylsulphatase activity. Meanwhile, a significantly negative correlation was shown between β-gulcosidase activity and soil pH.

Residual Levels and New Inputs of Chlorinated POPs in Agricultural Soils from Taihu Lake Region

Selected persistent organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), including 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethane (DDT) and its principal metabolites 1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethylene (DDE) and 1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)e- thane (DDD), hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH) and its isomers (α-,β-, γ-, and δ-HCH), hexachlorobenzene (HCB), endo- sulfan, dieldrin, and endrin were quantified to determine current levels of organochlorine pesticides, to assess the eco- toxicological potential, and to distin…

Assessment of Nitrogen Pollutant Sources in Surface Waters of Taihu Lake Region

The nitrogen （N） pollution status of the 12 most important rivers in Changshu, Taihu Lake region was investigated. Water samples were collected from depths of 0.5-1.0 m with the aid of the global positioning system （GPS）. The seasonal variations in the concentrations of different N components in the rivers were measured. Using tension-free monolith lysimeters and ^15N-labeled fertilizer, field experiments were carried out in this region to determine variations of iSN abundance of NO3^- in the leachate during the rice and wheat growing seasons, respectively. Results showed that the main source of N pollution of surface waters in the Taihu Lake region was not the N fertilizer applied in the farmland but the urban domestic sewage and rural human and animal excreta directly discharged into the water bodies without treatment. Atmospheric dry and wet N deposition was another evident source of N pollutant of the surface waters. In conclusion, it would not be correct to attribute the N applied to farmlands as the source of N pollution of the surface waters in this region.

Estimate of Methane Emission from Rice Paddy Fieldsin Taihn Region, China

Methane fluxes from late rice and single cropping rice fields in Taihu region were measured using closedchamber method in 1992 and 1993 and CH_4 emission from this region (total area of paddy soils was about1.88 million hectares, of which 0.63 million hectares are distributed in the south of Jiangsu Province) wasestimated on the basis of the mean CH_4 fluxes observed. The results showed that the mean CH_4 flaxes fromlate rice and single cropping rice field were quite similar under the prevailing cultivation practices in theregion, being around 5 mg CH_4/m￣2/h (4.31-5.31 mg CH_4/m￣2/h for various cultivars of the late rice and3.20-6.22 mg CH_4/m￣2/h for various treatments of the single cropping rice). Total CH_4 emission from paddysoils in the region was estimated to be 0.185-0.359 Tg CH_4 per year. Continuously flooding the soil witha water layer till ripening caused higher mean CH_4 flux; and addition of nitrification inhibitor (thiourea)stimulated CH_4 emission. There was no simple relationship between CH_4 flux and either soil temperature orsoil Eh.

太湖设防水位变化对区域防洪的影响研究

太湖位于太湖流域中心位置,是流域的洪水集散地,其设防水位是评判流域防洪形势的重要特征水位之一,也是部署流域防汛工作的重要依据之一。近年来的流域性洪水中,太湖水位多次突破原设防水位,对区域防洪产生了较大影响。本文采用太湖流域河网一维水量水质模型,分析研究太湖设防水位的变化对区域防洪的影响。结果表明,太湖设防水位与上游区域洪水位呈正相关,与下游区域洪水位呈负相关。太湖设防水位的升高,使得上游区域超特征水位的幅度和历时逐渐增大,特别是对湖西区和长兴平原的影响更为明显。

江苏省太湖地区地处长江三角洲地区,河网密布,城镇化率高,水利工程众多且调度复杂,流域、区域、圩区等特点明显,区域防洪、城市防洪排涝、圩区排涝等问题比较突出。由于平原河网水动力模拟模型有其内在的复杂性,大型平原河网的水文—水动力联合模拟通常难以满足模型数据动态更新和多尺度分级模拟要求。利用多尺度智能模型构建思路,针对江苏省太湖地区洪涝问题开展多尺度智能分级模型的构建与模拟,结果表明,多尺度模型能够快速模拟江苏省太湖地区洪涝情况,为江苏省太湖地区洪涝精准调度提供有力支撑。

江苏省太湖地区沿江潮位特征要素变化分析

感潮地区外江潮位变化对区域洪涝体系的有效发挥非常重要。目前江苏省太湖地区现状防洪规划并未将外江潮位变化纳入区域防洪标准的制定进行考虑。根据江苏省太湖地区沿江3个潮位代表站长系列潮位资料,对沿江潮位变化特征进行分析研究。结果表明,代表站年内最高潮位与汛期排涝设计潮位均表现出整体升高的趋势,其中以镇江(二)站变化最为显著。进入21世纪,沿江潮位特征值均出现由降低转为升高的突变现象,也反映出外部排江环境在变差,在后续地区防洪规划修编时,要增加考虑潮位变化可能产生的影响,特别是在流域上游的湖西地区。

稻季施用不同尿素品种的氮素径流和淋溶损失

在太湖地区乌栅土上,利用大型原状土柱研究不同尿素品种、施肥量处理在稻季氮素径流和淋溶损失.结果表明,包膜尿素在基施情况下,田面水总氮浓度始终接近对照水平,通过径流损失的可能性很小.尿素处理施肥后2d内田面水氮浓度达最高值,随后急剧下降,施肥与径流产生时间的间隔是决定径流氮排放大小的关键因素,施肥5d后的降雨不易造成大的径流排放,氮径流损失与尿素施用量呈显著正相关.各处理间的氮素淋溶排放无显著差异,在2.66～3.25kg N/hm2之间;淋溶液中NO3--N浓度最高为0.83mgN/L,在正常施肥情况下,此类土壤氮的淋溶不会造成地下水NO3--N的严重污染.

太湖地区高产水稻生命周期评价

以太湖地区高产水稻典型管理措施为例,应用生命周期评价方法,以生产1t水稻为评价的功能单元,把水稻生命周期划分为原料阶段、农资阶段和种植阶段进行清单分析与影响评价,考虑了能源消耗、水资源消耗、温室效应、环境酸化和富营养化5种环境影响类型。结果表明,太湖地区高产水稻生命周期环境影响潜力大小依次是水资源消耗、富营养化、温室效应、环境酸化和能源消耗,环境影响指数分别为1.45、0.54、0.52、0.32和0.05,环境影响综合指数为0.54。降低稻田水肥投入,提高水分和养分生产效率是控制太湖地区水稻生产体系生命周期环境影响的关键,它在直接减少种植环节资源消耗与污染排放的同时,也间接减轻了上游生产环节的环境影响,从而减缓生命周期的环境影响。

基于土地利用动态变化的太湖地区景观生态风险评价

在GIS和RS技术支持下,以遥感数据和土地利用数据为基础,以行政区划为评价单元,定量分析太湖地区1990-2008年土地利用变化及其转化关系;从土地利用变化和景观结构角度构建景观生态风险评价模型,定量评价了研究区内景观生态风险的时空动态变化特征.结果表明:太湖地区景观生态风险分布与区内土地利用方式和强度具有较高关联.景观生态风险整体呈上升趋势,高生态风险区范围不断扩大;受自然特征和社会经济发展影响,景观生态风险空间分异显著,较低风险区主要分布于以苕溪为主的山地丘陵区,中等风险区主要分布于农业发达的平原区,较高风险区及高风险区主要集中于沿湖经济发达区.不同区域景观生态风险来源存在一定差异,各用地类型对生态风险的贡献率亦不尽相同,就全区而言,景观生态风险主要来源于耕地和建设用地,但随着社会经济不断发展,来自水域和林地的生态风险比例越来越大.
