Soil anti-scourability enhanced by herbaceous species roots in a reservoir water level fluctuation zone

Revegetation is one of the successful approaches to soil consolidation and streambank protection in reservoir water level fluctuation zones(WLFZs).However,little research has been conducted to explore the impact of herbaceous species roots on soil anti-scourability during different growth stages and under different degrees of inundation in this zone.This study sampled two typical grasslands(Hemarthria compressa grassland and Xanthium sibiricum grassland)at two elevations(172 and 165 m a.s.l.)in the water level fluctuation zone(WLFZ)in the Three Gorges Reservoir(TGR)of China to quantify the changes in soil and root properties and their effects on soil anti-scourability.A simulated scouring experiment was conducted to test the soil anti-scourability in April and August of 2018.The results showed that the discrepancy in inundation duration and predominant herbaceous species was associated with a difference in root biomass between the two grasslands.The root weight density(RWD)values in the topsoil(0-10 cm)ranged from 7.31 to 13 mg cm^(-3) for the Hemarthria compressa grassland,while smaller values ranging from 0.48 to 8.61 mg cm^(-3) were observed for the Xanthium sibiricum grassland.In addition,the root biomass of the two herbs was significantly greater at 172 m a.s.l.than that at 165 m a.s.l.in the early recovery growth period(April).Both herbs can effectively improve the soil properties;the organic matter contents of the grasslands were 128.06%to 191.99%higher than that in the bare land(CK),while the increase in the water-stable aggregate ranged from 8.21%to 18.56%.Similarly,the topsoil antiscourability indices in both the herbaceous grasslands were larger than those in the CK.The correlation coefficients between the root length density(RLD),root surface area density(RSAD)and root volume density(RVD)of fine roots and the soil antiscourability index were 0.501,0.776 and 0.936,respectively.Moreover,the change in the soil antiscourability index was more sensitive to alternations in the RLD with diameters less than 0.5 mm.Overall,the present study showed that the perennial herbaceous(H.compressa)has great potential as a countermeasure to reduce or mitigate the impact of erosion in the WLFZ of the Three Gorges Reservoir.

Fractal characterization of sediment particle-size distribution in the water-level fluctuation zone of the Three Gorges Reservoir, China

The combined effect of periodic water impoundment and seasonal natural flood events has created a 30 m high water-level fluctuation zone(WLFZ) around the Three Gorges Reservoir(TGR), China, forming a unique eco-landscape. Siltation, eutrophication, enrichment of heavy metals, and methane emissions in the WLFZ have been widely associated with sediment and soil particles generated from the upstream catchment or upland slopes. However, little attention has been paid to the complexity of sediment particle-size distributions in the WLFZ. In the present study, core samples(from a 345 cm thick sediment core from the base of the WLFZ), slope transect surface samples(across/up a WLFZ slope), and along-river/longitudinal surface samples(from the reservoir reaches) were collected. Laser granulometry and a volume-based fractal model were used to reveal the characteristics of sediment particle-size distributions. Results indicate that the alternation of coarse and fine particles in the sedimentary core profile is represented as a fluctuation of low and high values of fractal dimension(D), ranging from 2.59 to 2.77. On the WLFZ slope transect, surface sediment particles coarsen with increasing elevation, sand content increases from 3.3% to 78.5%, and D decreases from 2.76 to 2.53. Longitudinally, surface sediments demonstrate a downstream-fining trend, and D increases gradually downstream. D is significantly positively correlated with the fine particle content. We conclude that D is a useful measure for evaluating sediment particle-size distribution.

Protection and Ecological Restoration of Water Level Fluctuation Zone in the Three Gorges Reservoir

Water level fluctuation zone(hereinafter referred to as "WLFZ") is a transitional ecosystem between terrestrial ecosystem and aquatic ecosystem,and also a key area to control its neighboring terrestrial and aquatic ecosystem. After the Three Gorges Reservoir was put into use,ecological environment of its WLFZ has aroused wide concern from domestic and foreign experts. On the basis of introducing characteristics of WLFZ of the Three Gorges Reservoir,current ecological environment and main problems of this area were analyzed,plant selection and configuration was elaborated as well as the implementation effect of many WLFZ protection and ecological restoration modes. In view of the actual conditions,pertinent suggestions were proposed for WLFZ of the Three Gorges Reservoir,namely classified protection and ecological restoration,enhancing monitoring and assessment of current situation and change tendency,carrying out technical researches and demonstration of WLFZ wetland ecological restoration.

Influence of the Repeated Flooding on Growth and Development of Acorus calamus Vegetation in Water-level-fluctuation Zone of the Three Gorges Reservoir

[ Objective] The research aimed to study influence of the repeated flooding on growth and development of A. calamus in water-level-fluc- tuation zone of the Three Gorges Reservoir. [ Method] A. calamus plants were exposed to water under the dark conditions respectively in Septem- ber 2009 and September 2010. Then, they were taken away from the water, and grew in natural conditions in the following March and April respec- tively （ marked as S1, S2, S1 and S2）. The plant number was conducted statistics respectively. On May 7, the leaf number was made statistics. Length, width and rapid light responding curve of the leaf were determined. [ Result] Repeated flooding restrained significantly plant germination un- der the dark condition. Plant number in S1 and S2 groups decreased by 38.9% and 33.3% respectively compared with the control. It also reduced survival rate of the plant. Plant number in S2 group decreased by 16.7% （P 〈 0.05） compared with that of S2 group when they were taken away from the water. Both of flooding promoted elongation of the leaves, restrained leaves to grow wider, and also restrained leaf formation of the plants except for S1 and S1 groups. Total leaf length of a plant decreased markedly after the second flooding which in S1 and S2 groups were 50.6% and 36.9% respectively less than that after the first flooding. Total leaf number of the plant in S1and S2 groups reduced significantly, and they were only 63.1% and 38.5% respectively of the control. Compared with the first flooding, total leaf length of a plant in the control increased signifi- cantly and decreased remarkably in S2 group after the second flooding. Furthermore, light response ability of the relative electronic transfer rate （rETR） in S1 group wasn＇t significantly different from the control, and rETRmax, in S2 group was significantly less than the control. Moreover, non- photochemical quenching （NPQ） decreased remarkably in S1 and S2 groups. It indicated that A. calamus had good restore ability of the light re- sponse, but restoring of its heat dissipation capacity was slower. [ Conclusion] Repeated flooding inhibited plant growth and population recovery of A. calamus under the dark condition.

周期性水位波动对三峡水库消落带土壤有机碳含量和密度的影响

为探究水位波动对三峡水库消落带土壤有机碳的影响,在三峡水库消落带采集和测定了受不同水淹强度影响的石灰土、紫色土、黄壤及其植物样品,并运用Kruskal-Wallis非参数检验和基于冗余分析的典范分析等方法进行了研究。结果表明:周期性水淹增加了石灰土和紫色土的有机碳含量和密度,但降低了黄壤的有机碳含量和密度。此外,石灰土的有机碳分布还受地上生物量、土壤pH和土层深度的影响,紫色土的有机碳分布还受土层深度和地上生物量的影响,而黄壤的有机碳含量和密度则与地上生物量、土层深度和地下生物量有关。总之,周期性水位波动对消落带土壤有机碳影响深刻,但土壤类型分异了有机碳对水位波动的响应。

农业耕作和外来植物入侵对金沙江下游库区新生消落带土壤养分和酶活性的影响

金沙江下游梯级水电站新生消落带上农业耕作较为普遍,同时广泛存在外来植物入侵,这可能会对其土壤养分状况产生潜在影响。基于此,以乌东德电站库区新生消落带为研究区域,以淹水后自然形成的狗牙根(Cynodon dactylon)群落为对照,选择典型农作物玉米(Zea mays)与入侵植物银胶菊(Parthenium hysterophorus)为研究对象,通过比较不同群落下0~10 cm和10~20 cm深度土壤养分含量及酶活性差异,探讨农业耕作和外来植物入侵对消落带土壤养分状况的影响。结果表明:①玉米和银胶菊群落下0~10 cm土层有机质、全氮、全磷、速效钾含量显著高于狗牙根群落(P<0.05),增幅为24.58%~136.98%;10~20 cm土层的有机质、氮磷钾养分全量和速效养分含量也较狗牙根群落显著高出16.67%~141.68%(P<0.05)。②相较狗牙根群落,玉米和银胶菊群落下0~10 cm和10~20 cm土层的脲酶、蔗糖酶、碱性磷酸酶、硝酸还原酶活性均显著增加(P<0.05),增幅为5.60%~378.65%。3个群落中,银胶菊群落土壤酶指数最高,较狗牙根群落显著高出23.49%(P<0.05)。③消落带土壤有机质、全氮、全磷、碱解氮、有效磷、速效钾含量均与脲酶、蔗糖酶、硝酸还原酶、碱性磷酸酶活性之间呈显著正相关(P<0.05),表明上述酶活性可作为消落带土壤养分状况变化的有效表征。总的来看,农耕活动和银胶菊入侵促进了落干期金沙江下游新生消落带土壤养分的积累和有效性的增加。因此,应加强消落带农业耕作的管控并尽快开展入侵植物防治,以减少淹水期消落带土壤养分流失风险。

黑龙滩水库消落带植被恢复模式对土壤水稳性团聚体组成及其稳定性的影响

[目的]为阐明水库消落带不同植被恢复模式对土壤水稳性团聚体组成及其稳定性的影响。[方法]以川中丘陵区黑龙滩水库消落带人工恢复与自然恢复植被下的土壤为研究对象,利用湿筛法测定分析土壤水稳性团聚体组成特征及其稳定性指标。[结果]消落带土壤>0.25 mm水稳性大团聚体含量与未淹水对照相比降低4.21%,其中,自然恢复植被下土壤水稳性大团聚体含量较对照下降12.27%,人工恢复植被下大团聚体含量较对照增加3.84%;不同植被恢复模式下土壤水稳性团聚体组成差异显著(p<0.05),人工恢复植被下土壤大团聚体含量(69.48%)显著高于自然恢复模式(43.20%);消落带土壤水稳性团聚体稳定性随水位高程增加而升高,团聚体稳定性指标>0.25 mm水稳性团聚体含量(R_(0.25))、平均重量直径(MWD)、几何平均直径(GMD)人工恢复模式下均大于自然恢复模式,团聚体分形维数(D)、土壤可蚀性因子(K)与团聚体破坏率(PAD)人工恢复模式小于自然恢复模式,表明人工恢复模式下土壤水稳性团聚体稳定性、土壤抗蚀性高于自然恢复模式。[结论]黑龙滩水库消落带在淹水后土壤团聚体稳定性下降,但人工恢复模式能有效改善土壤团粒结构,研究结果可为黑龙滩水库消落带土壤结构稳定性评价及植被恢复提供科学依据。

三峡库区消落带植物群落及其功能性状对水淹强度的响应

植物功能性状能表征其对资源的利用能力和对外界环境的响应,而水淹强度的不同使得三峡库区消落带不同高程的生境存在较大差异,因此开展不同水淹梯度下消落带植物群落生态策略及功能性状差异的研究,对全面理解植物对消落带不同生境的适应机理具有重要意义。研究选取受三峡水库水位变化影响的澎溪河流域,沿高程梯度对不同水淹强度下的植物群落及其功能性状指标进行分析。结果表明:(1)消落带植物群落处于演替的初级阶段,不同水淹梯度下的植物群落存在显著分化;(2)环境胁迫是决定消落带植物生态策略的主要因素,总体呈现较为集中的耐压策略,随着高程升高有逐渐向杂草策略转移的趋势;(3)随着高程升高,植物的高度、主茎干物质量、比根长及叶组织密度都有增大的趋势,比叶面积则相反。(4)各功能性状之间存在显著相关性,并通过形成不同的性状组合以适应不同强度水淹干扰的生境。消落带下部更倾向于投资于叶片使植物在出露期能快速获取资源和完成生活史,而消落带上部则更倾向于投资防御组织及根系以抵御干旱,研究结果可为消落带生物多样性保护及其生态系统修复提供理论依据。

适应水位变化的三峡库区消落带碳汇提升设计及效益评估

【目的】三峡库区消落带受周期性的水位涨落及冬季长时间深水淹没影响,碳汇能力遭受严重破坏。如何恢复并充分发挥消落带生态系统的碳汇潜力,成为三峡库区生态治理的关键议题。【方法】针对复杂水位变化挑战,提出以林塘模式修复消落带生态系统并提升碳汇能力的技术框架,选取位于三峡库区腹心的大浪坝消落带开展实证研究。运用CASA模型测算修复前后大浪坝消落带的净初级生产力(net primary productivity,NPP),基于植被生物量数据计算修复后大浪坝消落带与未修复对照组内不同高程带的碳汇能力,评估林塘碳汇系统的可持续效益。【结果】修复后大浪坝消落带的碳汇能力随时间推移明显提升,NPP由2012年的154.4 g C·m^(2)·a^(-1)增长至2016年的182.5 g C·m^(2)·a^(-1);各高程带的碳汇能力均显著高于对照组,并呈现出随海拔降低而减弱的趋势,170~175 m高程带碳汇能力达到1.827 kg C/m^(2),160~165 m高程带碳汇能力仅为0.830 kg C/m^(2)。林塘系统增强了生态系统的适应性和复原力,形成了适应水位变化的立体固碳模式并有效提升了碳汇效率。【结论】林塘碳汇系统是应对三峡库区复杂水位变化和长时间深水淹没挑战的适应性探索,显示出景观优化、生物多样性、经济效益与碳汇协同耦合的关键特征。研究成果能够为中国大型工程型水库消落带的治理及碳增汇提供科学依据与可复制推广的创新技术模式。

三峡水库消落带土壤反硝化及DOM的影响

在重庆主城与涪陵选取了3个典型点位采集土壤样品,并对土壤的理化性质、原位反硝化速率、溶解性有机质(DOM)驱动的反硝化以及库区土壤的微生物进行了考察与分析.结果显示在海拔145~155m区间,淹水期镇安镇、涪陵区和鱼嘴镇最高氨氮(NH_(4)^(+)-N)平均浓度分别为31.32,28.63和19.23mg/kg,均高于落干期.在淹水期,与高海拔区域土壤中硝酸盐氮(NO_(3)^(-)-N)平均浓度相比,低海拔土壤中NO_(3)^(-)-N平均浓度分别增大了46.91%(镇安镇)、37.89%(涪陵区)和29.69%(鱼嘴镇).在淹水期,土壤有机质(SOM)平均浓度随着海拔高程的降低而降低,镇安镇、涪陵区和鱼嘴镇分别从109.16,80.93和82.61mg/kg降至65.63,64.53,53.41mg/kg.土壤中NH_(4)^(+)-N和NO_(3)^(-)-N的含量与现场反硝化速率呈显著正相关(P<0.05),在提供充足的碳(C)和氮(N)营养元素后,土壤潜在反硝化速率表现出较大的时间和空间差异性.在由DOM驱动的反硝化实验中,DOM降解符合一级动力学模型(R^(2)>0.93),N2O累积量符合Logistic模型(R^(2)>0.97).在三峡水库消落带土壤中,反硝化功能微生物主要是Bacillus和Comamonadaceae,其丰度变化与土壤潜在反硝化速率呈现显著的正相关性(P<0.05).

抽水蓄能电站水库岩质边坡消落带生态修复探讨

抽水蓄能电站是我国水利水电开发的重要组成部分,建成运行后将形成库水周期性涨落的消落带,生境条件极为脆弱,是生态环境修复的重难点区域。对岩质边坡生态修复关键技术和水库消落带生境改善方法开展系统分析,结合河南天池抽水蓄能电站上水库岩质边坡消落带生境特征,提出土工格室+生态袋+挂网复合工程技术可作为水库岩质边坡消落带生态治理的关键措施。基于消落带库水涨落节律和植物自身遗传特性,指出消落带下端优先配置长期耐淹多年生草本植物(如狗牙根),消落带中端配置耐淹能力较强的灌木和草本(如秋华柳、黄荆、紫穗槐、中华蚊母和狗牙根等),消落带上端可综合配置抗旱耐淹能力较好的乔木、灌木和草本(如银合欢、桑树、紫穗槐、黄荆、秋华柳、狗牙根和苘麻等),以及生态适应性较强的乡土植物(如藜和诸葛菜等)。研究成果对抽水蓄能电站水库岩质边坡消落带生态治理具有重要指导意义。

水位变动区硫酸根侵蚀对混凝土氯离子传输影响试验研究

海洋环境水位变动区是氯离子和硫酸根离子侵蚀最严重的区域,氯离子主要破坏钢筋钝化膜引起钢筋锈蚀,硫酸根离子侵蚀除导致混凝土物理力学性能劣化外,还对氯离子在混凝土中的传输产生影响。目前针对硫酸根离子对氯离子传输影响的研究主要采用将试件浸泡在侵蚀溶液中的方式,不能反应耐久性问题更为严重的海洋水位变动区混凝土内离子传输规律。文章采用自主研制的潮汐循环模拟系统,开展了海洋环境水位变动区单一氯离子和氯离子-硫酸根离子耦合环境下氯离子传输特性物理试验,研究了硫酸根离子侵蚀对混凝土中氯离子传输规律的影响,给出了混凝土表面氯离子浓度和表观氯离子扩散系数的时变公式,建立了海洋环境水位变动区考虑硫酸根离子侵蚀效应的氯离子扩散模型。结果表明,早期由于硫酸根离子侵蚀在混凝土中生成石膏和钙矾石的填充作用,阻碍了氯离子在混凝土中的传输,使混凝土中氯离子浓度降低。

三峡水库消落区生态恢复措施与实践——以重庆市万州区陈家坝向坪肥子坝段为例

三峡工程完工后,在145~175 m高程的库区两岸形成与天然湖库涨落季节相反、涨落幅度30 m的消落区。消落区存在生态环境脆弱、人居环境较差、滨水生态破坏较严重等问题。以重庆市万州区陈家坝向坪肥子坝段长江消落区为例,在坚持生态优先、兼顾景观的原则下,以植被恢复工程设计为主,兼顾辅助工程设计,通过植物空间处理与品种筛选相结合,辅以配套设施等工程措施,达到生态恢复的效果,同时兼顾景观休闲功能,为人们提供亲水空间。相关实践可为其他区域消落区生态恢复提供参考。

初始含水率对三江并流区消落带含根土壤崩解性的影响

【目的】研究初始含水率对三江并流区消落带含根土壤崩解性的影响,为该区域消落带土壤侵蚀防控和植被恢复提供依据。【方法】通过野外崩解试验测定不同初始含水率下狗牙根(Cynodon dactylon)、美人蕉(Canna indica)、风车草(Cyperus alternifolius)、花叶芦竹(Arundo donax var.versicolor)和菖蒲(Acorus calamus)5种消落带适生植物原状含根土壤的崩解指标,用根系分析仪分析其根系特征,并分析崩解指标与根系特征的相关性。【结果】初始含水率为7.2%、11.4%、15.2%和36.7%(饱和)时,有根处理的平均崩解量分别为素土的77.0%、92.4%、112.1%和362.8%,崩解速率分别为素土的71.4%、106.6%、127.5%和400.0%。在非饱和状态,直径≤1 mm的根系具有明显的抗崩解作用,而直径>2 mm的根系具有促进崩解的作用;在饱和状态,直径≤1 mm的根系特征与崩解量和崩解速率的关系均不明显,直径>1 mm的根系具有促进崩解的作用。5种植物根系中,以狗牙根的抗崩解性最强,美人蕉最弱。【结论】初始含水率较低时,草本植物根系能抑制土壤崩解;初始含水率较大时,根系会促进土壤崩解。直径>2 mm的根系具有促进崩解的作用,在三江并流区消落带植被恢复中,在适生性的前提下应优选细根植物。

金沙江观音岩水库消落带绝对优势植物的表型可塑性与适应策略

金沙江是长江上游梯级大库富集之地,在金沙江地区选择典型水库开展植物表型可塑性和适应策略研究对该区一众水库生态治理具有重要的参考价值。本文以金沙江观音岩水库消落带为研究区,定量比较了经多年周期性水淹干扰后,绝对优势植物根茎叶性状的表型可塑性,分析了绝对优势植物应对主导因子的关键性状及其协同响应特征和权衡策略。结果表明:1)调查共记录了植物种类11科21属21种,优势度大于0.1的仅有狗牙根和苍耳,为绝对优势种。2)淹水对狗牙根和苍耳功能性状具有极显著影响,是二者功能性状变异的主导因子。3)狗牙根的株高、主茎长、分茎数量、主茎宽、叶片数量和叶面积,以及苍耳的分茎数量、叶片数量、根冠比和比叶面积的表型可塑性指数均超过0.6,是应对淹水的敏感性状。但是,狗牙根的叶片数量、叶面积以及苍耳的比叶面积对淹水的可塑性响应表现出短期时效性,为非适应性可塑性。4)淹水深度调控狗牙根在“逃避”策略和“静默”策略之间的权衡选择,并通过不同的性状组合以及地上和地下部分资源分配以协同响应。5)淹水导致狗牙根和苍耳的生态对策趋同,均采取S/SR策略。此外,相比于狗牙根为水库消落带的普遍推荐种,苍耳因其存在水质污染风险而褒贬不一,但苍耳具有重要的药用价值,能否在每次淹水来临前进行刈割值得进一步探讨。
