Landscape integration of North Patagonian mountain lakes: a first approach using characterization of dissolved organic matter

North‐western Patagonia contains a variety of glacially formed mountain lakes located at different positions from the treeline in the Andean Patagonian forest region. Water chemistry of six North Patagonian lakes located in an altitudinal gradient, above, at and below the treeline (~41°S) were analysed in this study. The relative importance of allochtonous to autochthonous carbon inputs along a marked catchment vegetation gradient encompassing altoandino vegetation and Nothofagus forests was addressed. The dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentration varied among the study lakes, with the lakes located higher in the landscape exhibiting lower DOC concentrations (<1 mg L^?1) than lakes located at or below the treeline (>2 mg L^?1). Analysis of coloured and fluorescent dissolved organic matter (CDOM and FDOM, respectively) followed the DOC pattern, despite the contrasting catchments of the study lakes. The results indicated the CDOM in all the lakes had low molecular weight and low aromaticity. The excitation–emission matrices (EEMs) highlighted three distinctive fluorophores in the FDOM, including two humic‐like (peak A and peak C) revealing the presence of humic terrestrial material, and a protein‐like fluorophore (peak T) generally associated with autochthonous DOM. The increased intensities of the humic fluorophores in the lakes located below the treeline suggest higher allochtonous carbon inputs from their catchments. This evidence collectively suggests that mountain lakes exhibit some heterogeneity in terms of DOM, likely attributable to their position in relation to the treeline, which determines the contribution of the catchment. As remote lakes are extremely sensitive to changes in their catchments, these North Patagonian mountain lakes may accurately track the impact of climate and anthropogenic changes on the landscape.

臭氧氧化对地表水溶解性有机物去除效果的影响研究

针对臭氧氧化作用对受污染地表水中溶解性有机物去除效果的影响进行研究。结果表明:臭氧投加比低于1mgO3/mgDOC时,臭氧对UVA、CODCr和UV410等有机物去除效率较高;臭氧投加比例为0.7mgO3/mgDOC时,BOD/COD由7.4%提高至18.4%,比紫外消光度(SUVA)逐渐降低并趋于平缓;不同臭氧投加比例下水中溶解性有机物的三维荧光指纹光谱变化规律表明,受污染地表水DOM中主要荧光物质为芳香族蛋白质(荧光峰A、B和C)及类腐殖酸(荧光峰D),其中,A峰、B峰和C峰的中心位置分别位于225/300nm、225/338nm和275/342nm;臭氧投加比例为0.7mgO3/mgDOC时峰强削减率为64%～81%,同时部分芳香族蛋白质的结构也发生了变化。

利用臭氧对二级出水进行深度处理对于缓解北方地区河流污染问题具有重要意义。为了探究臭氧对二级出水中溶解性有机物的氧化特性,在取自北京市砂河污水处理厂二级出水的水样中分别持续通入不同浓度的臭氧,检测60min内各水样中溶解性有机碳(DOC)、紫外吸收光谱、荧光光谱、分子量分布随时间变化情况。结果发现:水样中DOC去除率与臭氧浓度和通入时间呈正相关,在臭氧浓度为1.31mg/L、通入时间为60min时,可达到最大DOC去除率(70%);通入臭氧5min时,水中溶解性有机物的荧光特性基本消失;紫外吸光度值部分减少;分子量为5～6kDa、1～3kDa和400Da的有机物显著减少,部分转化为分子量为60Da的有机物。经过臭氧氧化处理,二级出水中有机物含量显著减少,大分子有机物几乎被全部降解。

富营养化湛江港湾有色溶解有机物光学特性的时空变化分析

有色溶解有机物(CDOM)是海洋水色遥感三要素之一,近海二类水体CDOM的遥感监测一直是国内外研究的热点和难点。基于2016-2017年湛江港湾两个航次的调查资料,探讨了湛江湾水体中CDOM光学特性的时空变化特征及溯源问题。结果表明:在季节变化方面,港湾内表层水体CDOM吸收系数ag(355)和光谱斜率S275~295呈现出秋季夏季的变化特征。在空间分布方面,夏季港湾内表层和底层的ag(355)则基本呈现由北向南、由西向东递减的趋势,表层和底层CDOM光谱斜率S275~295在水平空间上大致呈现斑块状的分布;同时,湾内叶绿素a浓度和浊度均较高,叶绿素a浓度在1~5μg/L之间变化,浊度的范围是5~70 NTU,溶解氧的浓度较小,在3~5 ml/L之间变化。对CDOM吸收系数ag(355)与光谱斜率、叶绿素a、溶解氧、浊度的关系深入分析发现,夏季和秋季水体中CDOM来源主要有浮游植物现场生产和陆源所携带,同时底层沉积物的再悬浮也是秋季水体中CDOM来源之一。两个季节CDOM浓度与DO负相关性较好,表明它对水体的污染和富营养化具有一定的指示作用。

Sorption of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons into liposomes (artificial cell membranes) and the effects of dissolved natural organic matter

Dissolved natural organic matter (NOM) occurs widely in the aquatic environment and affects the fate of microorganic pollutants (e.g. intake, accumulation, movement, degradation, toxicity). The effect of NOM on the intake into biota (living cells) is very important. In the present study, the effects of coexisting NOM on the intake of microorganic pollutants into aquatic biota were experimentally evaluated. The NOM was concentrated from Lake Biwa water using a reverse osmosis filtration membrane. Two polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH; pyrene and phenanthrene) were used as representative microorganic pollutants. Liposomes were synthesized in the laboratory to simulate living cell membranes and were used to investigate the intake of microorganic pollutants into aquatic biota. The experimental results (PAH onto NOM, NOM into liposomes, and PAH into liposomes) indicated that the sorption of PAH into liposomes was suppressed, apparently by PAH binding with NOM in the aqueous phase. This suggests that the accumulation and/or toxicity of microorganic pollutants can be retarded by NOM in the aqueous environment. Moreover, the experimental results indicated that sorption into liposomes (the liposome/water sorption coefficient, K_lipw) could be a better parameter for estimating the intake of microorganic pollutants into aquatic biota than the n-octanol/water partition coefficient (K_ow) in the aqueous environment.     

Turbidity and dissolved organic matter as significant predictors of spatio‐temporal dynamics of phosphorus in a large river‐floodplain system

Phosphorus (P) inputs are increasing in river‐floodplain systems, but the factors which influence the dynamics of this nutrient are not clear. To assess P dynamics in this kind of river, the main channel of the Middle Paraná River, 3 anabranches, 9 secondary channels, and 20 lakes (7 permanently connected and 13 temporarily connected to the fluvial system) were sampled. Multiple linear regressions were applied to explain spatio‐temporal patterns of P through commonly measured limnological variables. Particulate P increased during the sediment peak (evaluated through turbidity). Soluble reactive P (SRP) was positively associated with dissolved organic matter (DOM, mainly the chromophoric fraction), which increased during high waters in the fluvial system but was highly variable in each kind of aquatic environment. In temporarily connected lakes, vegetated zones dominated by emergent macrophytes displayed the highest SRP and chromophoric DOM concentrations. The flood and sediment peak positively affected P load in the river due to the increase in dissolved and particulate fractions, respectively. In addition, particle‐bound alkaline phosphatase activity was positively associated with SRP concentration and load. These results suggest that the sediment peak incorporates particulate P in the system while the floodplain is a P source during floods through exportation of the dissolved fraction. Dissolved P could be largely exported associated with DOM, which stimulates phosphatase biosynthesis by decreasing P bioavailability. The effect of aquatic macrophytes on P dynamics seems to be influenced by DOM exudation. According to these considerations, DOM should be taken into account to analyse P dynamics in river‐floodplain systems.     

梯级水电开发下黄河上游龙-刘河段DOC时空分布特征及通量研究

针对梯级水电开发影响下河流生源物质循环的科学问题,选取黄河上游梯级开发河段（龙羊峡-刘家峡段,共5个水库）为研究区域,以溶解性有机碳（DOC）为主要研究对象,采用采样监测方法分析DOC以及理化指标的时空分布特征,并且基于静态箱式算法模型估算各水库DOC的输移通量。结果表明：DOC及常规理化指标存在明显的时空异质性,DOC浓度呈现汛期（5.37~7.00 mg/L）高于非汛期（2.90~5.56 mg/L）的特征,汛期由于水库出现垂向水温分层现象,DOC在沿水深垂直方向上呈波动变化。在采样年里,龙羊峡-刘家峡段DOC的年输入通量为258.53 kt,年输出通量为192.23 kt,拦截率为25.6%,具有拦截效应的水库为龙羊峡、公伯峡和刘家峡,其余水库为输送效应。     

Particulate organic matter transport in the lower Colorado river,South-Western USA

The lower Colorado River from Laughlin, Nevada, to the border with Mexico is one of the most regulated rivers in North America. An analysis of particulate organic matter (POM) transport through the system was made to determine POM concentrations, composition and point of origin, as well as to determine the effect dams had on this transport. Particulate organic matter concentrations generally increased from upstream to downstream, and were dominated by very fine organic detritus (< 25μm size fraction). Reservoirs released more POM than they received during spring and summer, but less during autumn and winter. Reservoirs recycled POM, taking in organic detritus and discharging small limnoplankton. Backwater complexes functioned as filters during storm events, trapping coarse material and releasing fine material. Agricultural drains made only minor contributions of POM, but provided important nutrients for in-channel production of POM. Water diversions forced POM off-channel, whereas sluicing operations reduced inorganic loads in the canals. Despite the presence of six mainstem dams, the lower reaches support a diverse assemblage of detritivorous fishes, similar to that found in the lowermost reaches of natural, unregulated rivers. The food base for this fishery stems from autochthonous production of POM.     

曝气生物滤池降解规律试验研究

采用实际分散型生活污水作为试验原水,对曝气生物滤池的降解规律进行了试验研究。结果表明,与传统的观点不同,曝气生物滤池在处理低浓度有机废水时并不发生严格的有机物与氨氮的分段去除现象,有机废水氨氮与有机质基本在同一区域内去除,滤料在10～40cm段的去除率增长速度最快,在70cm之后去除率的增长开始逐渐变缓。在进口段,由于有机质浓度高,供氧充足,有机质的去除率较高;由于异养菌和氨化菌的作用,氨氮浓度在进口段不但不减少,反有微小升高。

Variations in Spectral Slope in Lake Taihu,a Large Subtropical Shallow Lake in China

Spectral slope (S), describing the exponential decrease of the absorption spectrum over a given wavelength range, is an important parameter in the study of of chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM) dynamics, and also an essential input parameter in remote sensing models. Furthermore, S is often used as a proxy for CDOM composition, including the ratio of fulvic to humic acids and molecular weight. The relative broad range in S values reported in the literature can be explained by the different spectral ranges and fitting methods used. A single exponential model is used to fit the S values for 17 investigations involving 458 samples in Lake Taihu from January to October in 2004. The average S value was 15.18 ± 1.39 μm⁻¹ for the range of 280–500 nm, which fell within the range reported in the literature. The frequency distribution of S value basically obeyed a normal distribution. Significant differences in S values between summer and other seasons showed that phytoplankton degradation was one of the important sources of CDOM in summer, whereas CDOM mainly came from the river input in other seasons. Furthermore, the estimated S value decreased with increasing wavelength range used in regression. The maximum and minimum values derived from the regression were 17.89 ± 1.25 μm⁻¹ and 13.62 ± 2.11 μm⁻¹ for the wavelength ranges of 280–380 nm and 400–500 nm, respectively, a decrease of 23.9%. S values significantly decreased with the increase of CDOM absorption coefficients. CDOM absorption coefficients could be more appropriately estimated from exponential model introducing the variation of S with absorption coefficients, making them useful for a remote sensing bio-optical model of Lake Taihu. DOC-specific absorption coefficient a*(λ) and the parameter M describing molecular size of the humic molecules could also be used as a proxy for the sources and types of CDOM. A general relationship was found between S and a*(λ), and M values. S increased with the decrease of DOC-specific absorption coefficient and the increase of M corresponding to the decrease of molecular weight.

Spatial and seasonal variations in δ13C AND δ15N of particulate organic matter in a dam‐controlled subtropical river

Alteration of stream flow by artificial dams has been observed to be a significant factor for river water environmental changes. Therefore, understanding the biogeochemical processes occurring in the dam‐controlled rivers is important for water resource management. In this paper, δ¹³C and δ¹⁵N signatures of particulate organic matter (POM) in a dam‐controlled subtropical river, Beijiang River, in south China are reported for their spatial and seasonal distributions. POM affected by reservoirs is lighter in δ¹³C and heavier in δ¹⁵N relative to unaffected POM. In April, POM δ¹³C and δ¹⁵N values show less spatial variation in the mainstem, and suggest relatively greater contributions of terrestrial organic matter (OM) to POM. This could be related to the onset of summer monsoon that caused an abrupt increase in terrestrial input to the river by the monsoon‐induced enhancement of rainfall and runoff. In August and December, however, POM isotopic values for the sites affected by the Feilaixia dam reservoir in the middle of the river show marked changes, suggesting aquatic plankton proliferation in the reservoir during the times. Upstream from the reservoirs, POM isotopes are seasonally less varied and suggest mainly terrestrial origin. However, the isotopic signals of aquatic plankton proliferation in the reservoir in August and December is imprinted on the POM isotopic compositions downstream the reservoir, indicating far‐reaching influences of the reservoir on the downstream water environment.

Variability of light absorption properties in optically complex inland waters of Lake Chaohu,China

Absorption coefficients of phytoplankton, colored detrital matter (CDM), non-algal particles (NAP), colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM), and their relative contributions to total non-water absorption (a_t ? w) are essential variables for bio-optical and radiative transfer models. Light absorption properties showed large range and variability sampled at 194 stations throughout Lake Chaohu between May 2013 and April 2015. The a_t ? w was dominated by phytoplankton absorption (a_ph) and NAP absorption (a_d). The contribution of CDOM absorption to a_t ? w was lower than 30%. Phytoplankton and NAP were the primary sources of spatial and vertical variability in absorption properties. Light absorption by CDOM, though significant in magnitude, was relatively constant. CDM absorption (a_dg) was dominated by NAP. The spatial variation of the absorption coefficients from each of the optically active constituents were driven by several main inflow rivers in the western and middle part of Lake Chaohu. Algal blooms and bottom resuspension contributed to vertical variability as observed by phytoplankton and NAP profiles. Specific absorption of phytoplankton had significant spatial and seasonal variations without vertical variation. The spectral slope of absorption showed no significant spatial variability (p > 0.05). Variations of absorption affected different ranges of remote sensing reflectance (R_rs) spectrum, thereby increasing the difficulty of applying the remote sensing algorithm in optically complex waters. Parameters and relationships presented in this study provide useful information for bio-optical models and remote sensing of lakes similar to Lake Chaohu in terms of optical properties.     

The distribution and turnover of benthic organic matter in a lowland river: influence of hydrology,seston load and impoundment

The standing stocks of benthic organic matter (BOM) and some of its biochemical compounds (particulate organic carbon, particulate nitrogen, protein, and chlorophyll a) were investigated in the upper 12 cm of the sediments at several sampling sites in a free‐flowing and in an impounded river section of the lowland River Spree (Germany). Several environmental variables were recorded, in order to determine their potential influence on the organic matter content in the sediments. It was shown that the organic matter content in the upper sediment layers was mainly determined by the local hydrological regime, which was best reflected by the particle size distribution at the sampling sites. For the deepest investigated sediment strata, no influencing factors could be determined. The amount and quality of suspended matter was of minor importance to sediment composition. Also seasonal effects could not be detected. The impounded river section exhibited less seasonal variation in organic matter storage, as well as shorter carbon turnover lengths, longer carbon turnover times and lower rates of annual organic matter recycling than the free‐flowing river section, which indicates that changes in river hydraulics result in alterations to the organic matter budget. These alterations could be related to the changed mesohabitat composition and to the higher standing stocks of organic matter in the impounded river reach. We conclude that both morphological and hydrological alterations affect the structure and function of running water ecosystems because of their negative effect on the organic matter cycling.
