The coastal area, with its fragile environment and the characteristics of both marine and terrestrial, is getting increasing attention globally, highlighting a critical need to form a systematic management framework. The objectives of this article are to illustrate the status quo of Chinese regional ecological civilization and land-sea integrated development, then combine resilience theory and sustainable development goals (SDGs) of United Nations together for selecting social-ecological indicators to build a resilience assessment matrix applying to the coastal urban area, further explore the core mechanisms of coastal resilience evolution. Accordingly, we suggest a new method of evaluation matrix with 12 indicators, representing the function of the target system in four phases (prepare, absorb, recover and adapt) and three domains (economic, natural resources and eco-environment) respectively, which focusing on the dynamic progress instead of the static situation of the typical and unique urbanizing area is exactly one of its improvements in comparison with other existing assessment tools. The key findings reveal the dificient resilience of Dapeng New District in dealing with the rapid urbanization stressor, as well as its asymmetrical performance among three subsystems within the temporal scope of 2014–2016. Another contribution reflected in the regime shifts of land-sea integration, which uncovers the states of critical functions in the target system, correspondingly outlines how to integrate the land use, water management, and biodiversity conservation into resilience-based management and sustainability for the coastal zone, namely the Land-Water-Biodiversity Nexus. Our scope is taking the typical coastal zone, Shenzhen Dapeng New District, Greater Bay Area of China, as an example, and to promote the research technology in other coastal urban regions.

沿海地区环境脆弱,具有海洋和陆地双重特征,正受到全球越来越多的关注,这突出表明迫切需要形成一个系统的管理框架。本文的目的是说明中国区域生态文明和陆海统筹发展的现状,然后将韧性理论与联合国可持续发展目标(SDGs)相结合,选择社会生态指标,构建适用于沿海城市地区的韧性评估矩阵,进一步探讨海岸韧性演化的核心机制。因此,我们提出了一种新的评估矩阵方法,该方法包含12个指标,分别代表目标系统在四个阶段(准备、吸收、恢复和适应)和三个领域(经济、自然资源和生态环境)的功能,它关注的是典型而独特的城市化地区的动态进展,而不是静态情况,这正是它与其他现有评估工具相比的改进之一。关键发现揭示了大鹏新区在应对快速城市化压力源方面的韧性不足,以及在2014-2016年的时间范围内,三个子系统之间的不对称表现。另一个贡献体现在陆海一体化的制度转变中,揭示了目标系统中关键功能的状态,相应地概述了如何将土地利用、水资源管理和生物多样性保护纳入沿海地区基于复原力的管理和可持续性,即陆水生物多样性联系。我们的范围是以典型的沿海地区,中国大湾区深圳大鹏新区为例,并在其他沿海城市地区推广研究技术。

Microplastics irrespective of their myriad sources eventually are discharged into the world's oceans, posing a serious threat to marine life. Evidence has shown the increasing threat posed by accumulation of microplastics along shore lines and sandy beaches to the species that inhabit these ecosystems. This study evaluates the species at potential risk due to microplastic pollution along the coastal regions of India, through a combination of existing literature and original observations. The harmful effects of microplastics on various classes of aquatic and coastal species through both direct ingestion and indirect consumption by the process of bio-accumulation, have been discussed in this study. The species at risk in other ecosystems such as freshwater lakes, brackish water sites, swamplands and marshlands have also been covered. The various species recorded at these ecosystems were evaluated on the basis of their potential risk of consumption of microplastics. Potential routes for bioaccumulation of microplastics through trophic transfer have been proposed, with special emphasis on the routes involving those species at risk, in order to fill the existing knowledge gaps. Further studies in the Indian scenario are therefore necessary, in order to truly gauge the impact of the bioaccumulation in specific species and on the coastal ecosystem as a whole.

微塑料,无论其来源如何,最终都会被排放到世界海洋中,对海洋生物构成严重威胁。有证据表明,海岸线和沙滩上的微塑料堆积对这些生态系统中的物种构成的威胁越来越大。这项研究通过结合现有文献和原始观测,评估了印度沿海地区因微塑料污染而面临潜在风险的物种。本研究讨论了微塑料通过生物积累过程中的直接摄入和间接消耗对各类水生和沿海物种的有害影响。淡水湖、半咸水区、沼泽地和沼泽地等其他生态系统中面临风险的物种也被覆盖。在这些生态系统中记录的各种物种是根据其消费微塑料的潜在风险进行评估的。已经提出了通过营养转移实现微塑料生物累积的潜在途径,特别强调涉及那些面临风险的物种的途径,以填补现有的知识空白。因此,有必要对印度的情况进行进一步的研究,以便真正评估特定物种的生物累积对整个沿海生态系统的影响。

The process of leaf litter breakdown is essential as a main energy source for aquatic life in stream ecosystems. This process is complicated due to the interaction among the stream's physical, chemical, and biological characteristics as well as the composition of litter. This study investigated the variation of litter breakdown rates with different water qualities and microbial activities influenced by dam operation. Litter bags were installed along Nakatsugawa River, which is regulated by Takizawa Dam, and Arakawa River in Saitama Prefecture, central Japan, during autumn and winter. Three dominant leaf species were studied, namely Quercus serrata, Carpinus cordata, and Acer mono. The factors possibly affecting the litter breakdown process were: (1) a 4 °C higher water temperature downstream than upstream of the dam in the Nakatsugawa; (2) high bacterial productivity in the Nakatsugawa; (3) high silt deposition on the litters in the Arakawa; and (4) low contents of Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC) and nutrients in the Arakawa. In the Nakatsugawa, neither a contribution of the dam to a higher breakdown rate nor recovery of the rate to upstream conditions far downstream was found. However, the breakdown rate was lower in the Arakawa than in the Nakatsugawa. Inorganic deposition on litter, DOC, Na+, Mg2+, Ca2+ and NO3 were believed to play a main role in litter breakdown.

凋落叶分解过程是河流生态系统中水生生物的主要能量来源。由于河流的物理、化学和生物特性以及凋落物组成的相互作用,这一过程是复杂的。研究了大坝运行对不同水质和微生物活动的影响下凋落物分解率的变化。秋冬季节,在日本中部埼玉县由泷泽大坝管理的中津川河和荒川河沿岸安装了垃圾袋。研究了3种优势叶种,即栎(Quercus serrata)、Carpinus cordata和槭(Acer mono)。可能影响凋落物分解过程的因素有:(1)中津川坝下游水温比上游水温高4 °C;(2)中津川菌产量高;(3)荒川地区凋落物的高泥沙淤积;(4)荒川地区溶解有机碳(DOC)和营养物质含量低。在中津川,既没有发现大坝对更高的破裂率有贡献,也没有发现大坝对远下游的上游条件的恢复率有贡献。然而,荒川地区的破坏率低于中津川地区。凋落物上的无机沉积、DOC、Na+、Mg2+、Ca2+和NO3−在凋落物分解中起主要作用。

Exploring the influence of hydrology on the threshold phosphorus-loading rate in shallow lakes 探讨水文对浅湖阈值磷加载速率的影响
Pub Date : 2019-01-01 DOI: 10.1016/j.wsee.2019.03.001

The Alternative Stable States Model describes the two contrasting conditions of shallow lakes that occur in response to external phosphorus (P) loading: 1) a clear-water, macrophyte-dominated state during times of lesser external P loading, and 2) a turbid, phytoplankton-dominated state during periods of greater P loading. Determination of the P loading rate that distinguishes the two stable states, i.e. the threshold phosphorus loading rate (TPL), is fundamental to shallow-lake science and management. We used data from nine shallow subtropical lakes in Florida (USA) to generate a parsimonious model that predicts the TPL from the hydraulic detention time (HDT). The model reveals that the TPL is more sensitive to changes in HDT in lakes with short (<1 year), as opposed to long (>10 years) HDTs. We compared our results with published data from 54 geographically distributed shallow aquatic systems and found that the Florida-based HDT-TPL model has general applicability. Given many lakes worldwide are shallow, our findings have the potential to improve understanding and management of numerous aquatic ecosystems around the globe.

可选稳定状态模型描述了浅湖响应外部磷(P)负荷时的两种截然不同的情况:1)在外部磷负荷较低时,浅湖处于清水状态,以大型植物为主;2)在磷负荷较高时,浅湖处于浑浊状态,以浮游植物为主。区分两种稳定状态的磷加载率,即阈值磷加载率(TPL)的确定是浅湖科学和管理的基础。本文利用美国佛罗里达州9个亚热带浅水湖泊的数据,建立了一个基于水力滞留时间(HDT)预测TPL的简约模型。模型显示,相对于长时间(10 年)的HDT,短时间(1 年)湖泊的TPL对HDT的变化更为敏感。我们将我们的结果与来自54个地理分布的浅水系统的已发表数据进行了比较,发现基于佛罗里达州的HDT-TPL模型具有普遍适用性。鉴于世界上许多湖泊都很浅,我们的发现有可能提高对全球众多水生生态系统的理解和管理。

The assessment of resilience for people, places, and systems to climate-change hazards is essential for understanding how to reduce disaster risks. Globally, a number of resilience assessment methodologies have been developed and implemented by a variety of entities, including national and local organizations, donor agencies, and academic researchers. In Bangladesh, although a number of resilience studies have been conducted, it has never been determined whether these assessments rightfully addressed conceptual understanding, methodological approaches, and disciplinary underpinnings, and maintained compliance with on-going research communications standards. To unpack this gap, we systematically reviewed 38 articles to characterize how the resilience to climate change, of coastal communities in Bangladesh, is being assessed. To operationalize the study, we have presented a brief overview of the assessment tools and then applied an analytical framework containing six criteria: comprehensiveness of dimensions, scalar relationships, temporal dynamism, addressing uncertainties of climate change by modeling and scenario-making, participatory approaches, and action plans. The overview analysis shows diverse traditions of methodological underpinnings, and reveals authors' often incomplete conceptual understandings of resilience. Results of the review analysis reveal extensive inadequacy regarding multiple dimensionality, scalar and temporal scales, and more importantly, addressing the uncertainty of climate change. In relation to comprehensiveness, current literature has failed to consistently comply with global research communication in regard to the criteria of institutional and infrastructural dimensions. More attention needs to be placed on temporal and scalar dynamics. Most importantly, the uncertainty issue is virtually overlooked in the literature, and iterative processes and the development of alternate states of planning through scenario analysis are also critical, for risk reduction and adaptation to climate-change impacts. Substantial emphasis should be given to include all possible stakeholders in the planning and implementation of any climate-change adaptation or mitigation program.

评估人员、地点和系统对气候变化灾害的适应能力对于了解如何减少灾害风险至关重要。在全球范围内,包括国家和地方组织、捐助机构和学术研究人员在内的各种实体已经开发并实施了一些复原力评估方法。在孟加拉国,虽然进行了一些恢复力研究,但从未确定这些评估是否正确地处理了概念理解、方法方法和学科基础,并保持符合正在进行的研究沟通标准。为了解开这一差距,我们系统地回顾了38篇文章,以描述如何评估孟加拉国沿海社区对气候变化的适应能力。为了使这项研究可操作性,我们简要概述了评估工具,然后应用了一个包含六个标准的分析框架:维度的全面性、标量关系、时间动态、通过建模和情景制作解决气候变化的不确定性、参与性方法和行动计划。概述分析显示了方法论基础的不同传统,并揭示了作者对弹性的概念理解往往不完整。回顾分析的结果表明,在多维度、标量和时间尺度上,更重要的是,在解决气候变化的不确定性方面,存在广泛的不足。就全面性而言,目前的文献在制度和基础设施维度的标准方面未能始终符合全球研究交流。需要更多地关注时间和标量动力学。最重要的是,不确定性问题在文献中几乎被忽视了,通过情景分析的迭代过程和规划的替代状态的发展对于降低风险和适应气候变化的影响也至关重要。在规划和执行任何气候变化适应或缓解方案时,应特别强调将所有可能的利益攸关方包括在内。

There is a crucial need to achieve a more sustainable management of the world's water resources with serious water scarcity and water pollution. The trans-basin movement of water faces major environmental and engineering challenges and remains controversial. Therefore, improved management of water within basins offers more feasible options to enhance the efficiency of water use. This paper aimed to find out the bottlenecks of integrated catchment management, summarizes the research frontier about integrated catchment management and put forwards some measures, mainly include taking the interaction impacts among water, land and other factors into consideration, evaluating the effectiveness and impacts on different systems of decisions and policies based on appropriate methods, and strengthening watershed management capacity. This paper provides decision-making information for integrated catchment management. The government should strengthen the scientific research in the relationship between water sector and other sectors, and account trans-basin water resources flow. Moreover, participation of different stakeholders is one of key points to promote the success of integrated water resources management (IWRM). Much of the evidence in this paper is from the Heihe River Basin, which is the second largest inland river basin in China. While this evidence comes from a specific area, the integrated economic and environmental modeling presented in this paper can usefully be applied to river basin management elsewhere. Indeed, the international collaboration of researchers evident in this paper is a testament to the worldwide interest in freshwater management issues.

在严重缺水和水污染的情况下,迫切需要对世界水资源进行更可持续的管理。水的跨流域运动面临着重大的环境和工程挑战,并且仍然存在争议。因此,改善流域内的水管理为提高用水效率提供了更可行的选择。本文旨在找出流域综合管理的瓶颈,总结流域综合管理的研究前沿,提出流域综合管理的对策,主要包括考虑水、土地等因素之间的相互影响,采用合适的方法评价不同决策和政策系统的有效性和影响,加强流域管理能力建设等。为流域综合治理提供决策依据。政府应加强对水部门与其他部门关系的科学研究,并考虑跨流域水资源的流动。此外,不同利益相关者的参与是促进水资源综合管理(IWRM)成功的关键之一。本文中的大部分证据来自中国第二大内陆河流域黑河流域。虽然这些证据来自一个特定的地区,但本文提出的综合经济和环境模型可以有效地应用于其他地区的流域管理。事实上,这篇论文中研究人员的国际合作证明了全世界对淡水管理问题的兴趣。

Indeed, the international collaboration of researchers evident in this paper is a testament to the worldwide interest in freshwater management issues.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101280,"journal":{"name":"Watershed Ecology and the Environment","volume":"1 ","pages":"Pages 33-38"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.wsee.2019.10.002","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72906904","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mangrove wetlands are under increasing pollution pressure from human activities due to rapid industrialization and urbanization of coastal regions. Many pollutants such as heavy metals may be accumulated via food chains to hazardous levels which will thus bring potential health issues to humans. In the present study, three species of crabs (Sesarma dehaani, Sesarma plicata, Macrophthalmus japonicus) and associated sediments from three mangrove habitats with different vegetation were collected from the mangrove wetlands in Qi'ao Island, South China to investigate the levels, bioaccumulation and dietary exposure of heavy metals including copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), manganese (Mn), cadmium (Cd) and chromium (Cr). Metal concentrations in sediment samples were 65–91, 212–247, 506–1256, 0.6–1.3, and 8.8–14 mg/kg dry weight for Cu, Zn, Mn, Cd and Cr, respectively. The spatial heterogeneity of these metals in mangrove sediments was observed with a descendant order of metal concentrations as Mn > Zn > Cu > Cr > Cd at each site. Species-specific and tissue-specific accumulation of metals was also found in mangrove crabs, both in the degree of accumulation of particulate metals and the tissues in which they were most abundant. All biota-sediment accumulation factors (BSAF) values >1 for Cd in each crab species suggested that the native mangrove crabs tended to be good tools for the monitoring of Cd pollution in mangrove forests. Results of the estimated daily intake (EDI) and target hazard quotient (THQ) suggested that consumption of the mangrove crabs in Qi'ao Island might subject local residents to potential health risks as far as the metals are concerned.

随着沿海地区工业化和城市化的快速发展,红树林湿地受到人类活动的污染压力越来越大。重金属等许多污染物可能通过食物链积累到危险水平,从而给人类带来潜在的健康问题。本研究以华南七鳌岛红树林湿地为研究对象,收集了3种不同植被红树林生境中的3种螃蟹(Sesarma dehaani、Sesarma plicata、Macrophthalmus japonicus)及其沉积物,研究了铜(Cu)、锌(Zn)、锰(Mn)、镉(Cd)和铬(Cr)的含量、生物积累和膳食暴露。沉积物样品中Cu、Zn、Mn、Cd和Cr的金属含量分别为65 ~ 91、212 ~ 247、506 ~ 1256、0.6 ~ 1.3和8.8 ~ 14 mg/kg干重。红树林沉积物中金属元素的空间异质性表现为:Mn > Zn > Cu > Cr > Cd。在红树林螃蟹中也发现了金属的物种特异性和组织特异性积累,无论是颗粒金属的积累程度还是它们最丰富的组织。各蟹类Cd的生物群-沉积物积累因子(BSAF)值均为1,表明本地红树林蟹类是监测红树林Cd污染的良好工具。估算日摄入量(EDI)和目标危害商(THQ)结果表明,七鳌岛居民食用红树林蟹可能存在潜在的重金属健康风险。

Urban runoff from traffic areas is a major source of pollution that degrades the quality of adjacent surface waters. Green infrastructure provided by the substantial amount of roadside land at urban fringe areas can be used to better manage and infiltrate this urban runoff. When establishing urban green areas, recycled materials should be preferred in order to achieve economically feasible and environmentally responsible solutions. Wastewater treatment plants within e.g. the EU yield substantial amounts of solids containing nutrients and metals that need to be utilised in a sustainable way. However, soil composted from such sewage sludge is being used widely in constructing green infrastructure, such as parks and road verges, which may jeopardise their use for stormwater management even though the effects of sewage sludge at road verges on the quality of runoff waters have not been subjected to scientific examination. Biochar has been suggested to retain pollutants and may also meet the criteria of being recycled material. We established artificial biofilter structures, mimicking road verges, in large-scale field lysimeters under cold climatic conditions in southern Finland to study the ability of biochar to retain pollutants leaching from composted sewage sludge and from infiltrating artificial stormwater. The topmost 15 cm consisted of an organic layer of either natural peat (Peat) or soil composted from sewage sludge either mixed with birch-derived biochar (3% by volume) or without this biochar (Comp+bc and Comp, respectively). At the end of the 1st growing period grasses growing in the lysimeters had taken up to 32% of phosphorus in the top soil containing compost. Leaching of phosphorus did not differ between the treatments, while nitrogen (N) leaching was ten time larger from Comp than Peat. Leaching of heavy metals, such as nickel and copper, was also significantly higher from compost soils than peat, but biochar significantly reduced metal leaching from compost (up to 50%). Two years after establishment, lysimeters were irrigated with artificial stormwater mimicking runoff from roads with heavy traffic. Comp leached more N compared to Peat. However, biochar significantly reduced N load infiltrated through the compost by 44%. Mixing sewage sludge-originated compost with biochar, and adding a 5 cm thick layer of biochar underneath the organic soil layer can substantially reduce leaching of N and heavy metals. However, given the substantial amount of roadsides in urban fringe areas, the extensive use of sewage sludge and other N-rich materials in such areas should be considered carefully.

来自交通区域的城市径流是污染的主要来源,它降低了邻近地表水的质量。城市边缘地区大量路边土地提供的绿色基础设施可用于更好地管理和渗透城市径流。在建立城市绿地时,应优先使用回收材料,以实现经济上可行和对环境负责的解决方案。例如,欧盟内部的废水处理厂产生大量含有营养物质和金属的固体,需要以可持续的方式加以利用。然而,由这些污水污泥堆肥而成的土壤被广泛用于建设绿色基础设施,如公园和道路边缘,这可能会危及其用于雨水管理的用途,尽管尚未对道路边缘的污水污泥对径流水质的影响进行科学研究。有人建议,生物炭可以保留污染物,也可能符合可回收材料的标准。我们在芬兰南部寒冷气候条件下的大型野外渗滤仪中建立了模拟道路边缘的人工生物过滤器结构,以研究生物炭保留从堆肥污水污泥中浸出的污染物和从人工雨水中渗透的污染物的能力。最上面的15 cm由天然泥炭(peat)或由污水污泥混合桦树衍生生物炭(体积3%)或不混合这种生物炭(Comp+bc和Comp)的土壤堆肥组成的有机层组成。在第1个生长期结束时,在溶渗池中生长的禾草吸收了含有堆肥的表层土壤中高达32%的磷。磷的淋溶量在不同处理之间没有差异,而氮的淋溶量是泥炭的10倍。重金属,如镍和铜,从堆肥土壤中浸出也明显高于泥炭,但生物炭显著减少了从堆肥中浸出的金属(高达50%)。建成两年后,利用模拟交通繁忙的道路径流的人工雨水灌溉溶渗仪。与泥炭相比,堆肥浸出了更多的氮。然而,生物炭显著降低了通过堆肥渗透的氮负荷44%。将污水污泥堆肥与生物炭混合,并在有机土层下添加5 cm厚的生物炭层,可显著减少氮和重金属的淋滤。然而,鉴于城市边缘地区有大量的路边,应仔细考虑在这些地区广泛使用污水污泥和其他富氮材料。
