从湿地氮循环的主要研究对象和基本研究方法出发,讨论了同位素方法在氮循环研究中的应用,总结了氮同位素用于研究湿地系统的生物地球化学过程以及各形态氮的迁移转化等方面的应用实例,并对湿地氮循环同位素及其相关技术方法的发展趋向进行了展望,最后归纳提出了氮同位素在我国湿地生态系统氮循环研究中的不足及未来的发展方向。     

东洞庭湖湿地水鸟群落季节动态格局

为了对东洞庭湖湿地鸟类的继续研究提供数据和理论依据,2005年7月~2006年12月采用样方法和样线法对该湿地水鸟进行了调查,共记录到水鸟89种,并对其季节动态格局进行了研究分析,结果表明,全年水鸟种类和数量均是冬季多,夏季少,特别是数量波动有明显的冬季高峰期和夏季低谷期,季节差异非常显著。     

蕨类植物在园林绿化中的应用

蕨类植物种类丰富、适应性强、管理简便,非常适合园林应用。在简要分析我国蕨类植物种质资源的基础上,探讨蕨类植物在园林植物造景如庭院、地被、水景、岩石园等的应用,提出应在园林建设中重视蕨类植物,尤其是中国原产的蕨类植物和从国外引进的一些新优园艺蕨类品种,以丰富植物多样性和园林景观。     

Linking Land-use, Water Body Type and Water Quality in Southern New Zealand

Land-use and vegetation cover have been linked to the nutrient levels (nitrogen, phosphorus) of surface waters in several countries. However, the links generally relate to streams and rivers, or to specific types of standing water, for example shallow lakes in a geologically defined region. We measured physical variables and nutrient chemistry of 45 water bodies representative of the wide range of lentic wetland environments (swamps, riverine wetlands, estuaries, reservoirs, shallow lakes, deep lakes) in Otago, New Zealand, and related these to catchment variables and land-use in order to assess the potential influence of catchment modification on water quality of these diverse wetlands. Catchment boundaries and land cover were derived from maps using ArcView GIS software. Our predictions that concentrations of nutrients and other components of water quality would correlate positively with the nature and intensity of catchment modification were confirmed in multivariate analyses. Physical and chemical measures were positively related to the extent of modification in the catchment (percentage of the catchment in pasture, planted forest, scrub and urban areas), and negatively related to lack of catchment modification (more of the catchment in bare ground, tussock grassland and indigenous forest). The strong negative correlations between nutrient concentrations, suspended sediment, water colour and the percentage of tussock cover in the catchment imply that increased conversion of the␣native tussock grassland to pastoral farming in␣Otago will increase nutrient concentrations and␣reduce water quality of the diverse lentic ecosystems.     

Tracking the Trade in Ornamental Coral Reef Organisms: The Importance of CITES and its Limitations

The extraction of coral reef organisms for the aquarium and curio trade is reported to be contributing to coral reef degradation. The total international trade and associated impacts are unknown, because data are collected only for organisms listed on Appendix II of CITES, which include stony corals, antipatharians and giant clams. CITES data indicate that trade in live stony coral and reef substrate (live rock) increased by 15–30% each year during the 1990s, with most exports since 1992 from Indonesia and Fiji. Overall, 19% of all stony coral traded (by item) from 1985 to 1997 was live; 71kern-1pt% of this was traded between 1993 and 1997 (52% of total trade). Although tracking trade using information from the CITES Trade Database provides limited information (e.g., coral is reported to genus, and volume is reported by item or weight), the CITES mechanism promotes the development of strategies to protect resources. In response to CITES requirements, Indonesia developed a management plan for sustainable harvest of corals, but not for non-CITES listed species such as soft corals and fishes. Trade in hard and soft coral provides revenue for developing countries; however, in order to be of lasting value the industry must be developed with a conservation ethic. This requires support for international programs such as CITES, management plans for sustainable harvest, and improved enforcement.     

闽江口湿地的气候变化及其对生态环境的影响

利用闽江口湿地分布区4个常规气象观测站1971-2004年的气象资料,分析了闽江口湿地日照、气温、极端最低气温、降水量的年际变化特征及其对闽江口湿地生态环境的影响情况。结果表明：年平均气温和季平均气温显著上升,冬季增温幅度最大,夏季最小;日照时数总体下降,极端最低气温、年降水量和季降水量（春季除外）呈上升趋势,但趋势都不显著;日照时数和降水量年际波动大。气象因子的年际变化给区域生态环境带来不同程度的利弊影响。研究结果对于闽江口湿地的保护、合理开发和利用具有重要的指导意义。     

四川省湿地生态系统服务功能价值评估

依据《中国湿地百科全书》及四川省林业厅调查数据,将四川省湿地类型划分为河流湿地、湖泊湿地、沼泽和沼泽化草地、水田湿地、池塘湿地、水库湿地两大类6种类型,采用定量货币化方法对四川省湿地生态系统服务功能价值进行了估算,为四川省湿地保护与规划提供生态经济理论依据。结果表明,四川省湿地生态服务功能的总价值达7 483.03亿元人民币,相当于四川省2009年GDP的52.88%,各项湿地生态功能价值中最高的是固碳释氧功能价值达3 422.00亿元人民币,约占45.73（,其次是水分调节功能和物质生产功能,说明湿地对四川省的生态环境和国民经济有重要作用,并和人们的生产、生活、娱乐密切相关。
