Abstract

ABSTRACT In order to evaluate the ecological health condition of Zhanghe River Watershed, an adapted Benthic Index of Biotic Integrity (B-IBI) was developed. Macro-invertebrates were sampled at 12 monitoring stations which were grouped into two condition categories (reference and impaired stations) according to the level of degradation. A total of 47 benthic macroinvertebrates taxa were identified, in which aquatic insects 33 taxa, Mollusca 8, Annalida 3 and Crustacea 3 taxa. Based on macro-invertebrate assemblages characters of this area, 18 candidate biological metrics in four categories, including taxonomic richness, community composition, pollution tolerance, trophic guild, and value distribution, were chosen. In which, four metrics were excluded because of low values or narrow distribution range. Discriminatory power between reference and impaired stations was analysed using box-plots, and six metrics were excluded because the medians of the box-plot inside the inter quartile range. Of all the rest eight metrics, four were not suitable for B-IBI index system because of their high Pearson correlation (| r | 0.75). Finally, total taxa, percentage of Crustacea and Mollusca, percentage of tolerant taxa and percentage of predators were screened out to form a B-IBI index system. Ratio scoring method for B-IBI index was used to get a uniform score. Evaluation criterion was established based on the 25 percentiles value of reference stations. Assessment results using B-IBI showed 5 of sampling stations were in ‘healthy’ and ‘sub-healthy’ state, 3 were in ‘fair’ state, and 4 were in ‘poor’ or ‘very poor’ state of the whole watershed.

适应底栖生物完整性指数(B-IBI)在漳河流域河流生态系统健康评价中的应用
摘要为了评价漳河流域的生态健康状况,建立了一个适用的底栖生物完整性指数(B-IBI)。在12个监测站对大型无脊椎动物进行了采样,这些监测站根据退化程度分为两类(参考站和受损站)。共鉴定出47个底栖大型无脊椎动物分类群,其中水生昆虫33个,软体动物8个,Annalida 3个,甲壳动物3个。根据该地区大型无脊椎动物群落特征,选择了分类丰富度、群落组成、耐污染性、营养群和价值分布四类18个候选生物指标。其中,有四项指标因数值低或分布范围窄而被排除在外。使用箱形图分析参考站和受损站之间的判别力,并排除了六个指标,因为箱形图的中位数在四分位数范围内。在其余8个指标中,有4个指标由于Pearson相关性较高(|r|0.75)而不适用于B-IBI指标体系。最后,筛选出总分类群、甲壳动物和软体动物的百分比、耐受分类群的百分比和捕食者的百分比,形成B-IBI指标体系。采用B-IBI指数比值评分法进行统一评分。以基准站的25个百分位数作为评价标准。使用B-IBI的评估结果显示,整个流域有5个采样站处于“健康”和“亚健康”状态,3个处于“尚可”状态,4个处于“较差”或“极差”状态。
