Abstract

[Objective] Identifying the main areas and driving factors of eutrophication in Fengjiangkou Reservoir can provide guidance for water quality protection in the online regulation reservoir of the water resource allocation project in northern Hubei Province. [Methods] Taking Fengjiangkou Reservoir as the study area, water quality monitoring and meteorological and hydrological data collection were conducted. The comprehensive nutrient status index method and the partial least squares regression method were used to analyze the spatiotemporal variation characteristics of nutrient status in Fengjiangkou Reservoir and its influencing factors. [Results] There were significant spatiotemporal differences in indicators such as permanganate index, ammonia nitrogen, total phosphorus, total nitrogen, and chlorophyll-a. These indicators were higher during the irrigation period than during other periods, and higher in the estuary areas of the Fengjiangkou River and Shahedian River than in other waters, making them the key periods and water areas for pollutant control in Fengjiangkou Reservoir. In the estuary area of Fengjiangkou River, chlorophyll-a concentration was significantly positively correlated with TN concentration (P=0.02), TP concentration (P=0.05), and diffuse radiation (P=0.04). In the estuary area of the Shahedian River, chlorophyll-a concentration was significantly positively correlated with TN concentration (P=0.02) and TP concentration (P=0.02), indicating that TN concentration, TP concentration, and diffuse radiation intensity might be the main factors affecting the nutrient status in the estuary area of Fengjiangkou River, while TN concentration and TP concentration were the main factors affecting the nutrient status in the estuary area of Shahedian River. Although indicators such as air temperature and wind speed showed no significant correlation with chlorophyll-a concentration, each indicator exhibited a clear correlation with chlorophyll-a concentration under given conditions. During the irrigation period, the nutrient status of the Fengjiangkou River and Shahedian River estuary areas was mildly eutrophic. Contribution analysis results showed that permanganate index (20.6%), total nitrogen (11.0%), and nitrogen-to-phosphorus ratio (9.3%) were the main water quality indicators affecting eutrophication in the estuary area of Fengjiangkou River, while total phosphorus (15.6%), ammonia nitrogen (12.3%), pH (10.1%), and total nitrogen (8.3%) were the main water quality indicators affecting eutrophication in the estuary area of Shahedian River. Both normal radiation and diffuse radiation contributed over 10% to the occurrence and decline of eutrophication in the estuaries of Fengjiangkou River and Shahedian River, making them the main meteorological driving factors of eutrophication in Fengjiangkou Reservoir. [Conclusion] To synergistically ensure the water quality safety in Fengjiangkou Reservoir, recommendations are proposed, including reducing watershed non-point source pollution during the irrigation period, regulating algal biomass in the reservoir bay, and implementing water environment monitoring and intelligent management.

Abstract
植被变化往往受到不同气候变量的综合作用,人类活动影响又使得植被对气候响应变得更为复杂,如何准确判别各种影响因素的相对重要性是植被变化归因研究中的一个关键点.研究基于偏最小二乘(PLS)回归方法,使用1982—2006 年的归一化植被指数(NDVI)数据,分析了降水、气温、日照、相对湿度和风等气候变量对中国东部植被变化的相对影响,并选取了NDVI变化较为典型的区域,量化了农业活动对该地区植被变化的相对贡献.PLS回归方法兼具了主成分分析和多元回归的优点,克服了众多自变量之间存在强烈交互相关导致的多元共线性问题.研究结果表明:① 1982—2006 年间,中国东部逐月NDVI的年际变化呈现出明显的南北差异.在12、1—5 月,NDVI以显著上升为主,上升区域主要位于淮河以北.在6—10月,NDVI以显著下降为主,下降区域主要为淮河以南的部分区域,特别是6 月江苏一带NDVI的大范围下降尤为明显.不过与NDVI发生显著变化的区域相比,更多区域的NDVI在各月并没有出现显著变化.② 在NDVI显著上升的站点,对NDVI变化最具解释意义的气候变量为气温,特别是冬末春初(2—3 月)的升温对黄淮海区域NDVI的显著上升具有主导控制作用.而对于NDVI 显著下降的站点,多数都不能从气候角度解释这些区域的NDVI 变化.③ 江苏省NDVI在6 月出现的大范围显著下降,与农业种植结构的调整,主要是棉花种植面积的减少以及油菜面积的增加具有显著关系.

Vegetation change is generally caused by the combined effects of various climate variables, which is further complicated by the impacts of human activities. Assessing the importance of each explanatory variable is critical for the study of vegetation change attribution. The responses of vegetation to temperature and precipitation in eastern China have been widely explored in previous studies. However, less attention has been paid to the influence of other climate variables in vegetation change. In this study, we introduced a statistical method called partial least squares (PLS) to investigate the relative importance of different climate variables. ThePLS regression, combining features of principal components analysis (PCA) and multiple regression, overcomes the multicollinearity problem which arises when two or more explanatory variables in a multiple regression model are highly correlated. Using GIMMS NDVI products and PLS method, we first investigated the relative effects of different climate variables (temperature, precipitation, sunrise, relative humidity, wind) on vegetation change in eastern China from the period 1982 to 2006. Then, the relative contribution of anthropogenic factors on the vegetation change was quantified in the region of Jiangsu Province where vegetation shows distinctive changes. The results indicated that: 1) there were distinct north -south differences among interannual variations of monthly NDVI in eastern China in the period of 1982-2006. A significant increase of NDVI was found in December through May in some areas north to the Huaihe River, while the drop of NDVI occurred in June through October in some areas south to the Huaihe River; 2) in the areas with significantly increased NDVI, the greatest contributor was temperature and it had the most significant effect on the increase of NDVI. In particular, the temperature rise could play a dominant role in driving the increase of NDVI in the Huang-Huai-Hai Plain in late winter and early spring (February-March). The decrease in NDVI, by contrast, might not be attributed to climate factors in many areas. However, it should be noted that there was no obvious change in NDVI trends in many parts of eastern China compared with the areas suffering significant NDVI change; 3) Jiangsu Province was mainly characterized by a significant decline of NDVI in June from 1982 to 2006. However, such large regional concentration of NDVI change was not observed in other months and regions. Statistical analysis showed that the agricultural structural adjustment played a key role in controlling the NDVI change in June in Jiangsu Province. The decline of NDVI in June was mainly attributed to the decrease in sown area of cotton across a large spatial extent.

Land use plays an important role in the unified management of natural resources. In the face of data from different regions and years, it is particularly important to analyze and compare the caliber uniformly, and at the same time to reflect the differences between them. In this paper, the data of land use status of Yixing city in 2009 and 2017 are used as data sources. Using land classification criteria to extract three types of land use, and attempts to analysis through cell division of different sizes, find the suitable size for this data. Then the classification range is demarcated based on the natural breaks (jenks) Classification method, to comprehensive analysis on the distribution and change trend of three types of land use in Yixing city, it truly reflects the land use situation of Yixing city. By selecting appropriate spatial scale and classification range delimitation method, this paper constructs an operational and scientific land use data grid method, which provides basis for the overall management and comprehensive management of natural resources departments.

Abstract
为研究三峡水库汛期调度对支流水华的抑制效果,于2022年6月24日—7月3日,跟踪监测三峡水库调度前期、调度期、调度后期代表性支流小江的藻类群落结构与水体理化因子,采用Kruskal-Wallis秩检验分析调度前后的水环境变化,采用Pearson相关分析和逐步回归分析探究藻类与环境因子的关系,采用RDA分析探究不同环境因子对藻类群落结构变化的贡献度,构建结构方程模型解析水库调度对水华的影响。结果显示,调度前期小江常年回水区发生蓝藻水华,以叶绿素a浓度表征的藻类生物量最高达到58.33 μg/L;通过调度水位抬升后,藻类生物量降至6.41 μg/L。回水区水温、pH值、总氮(TN)浓度降低,总磷(TP)浓度、硝酸盐(NO<sup>-</sup><sub>3</sub>-N)浓度升高(p&lt;0.01);逐步回归分析结果表明藻类生物量受水位变化过程中的TN、NO<sup>-</sup><sub>3</sub>-N、磷酸盐(PO<sup>3-</sup><sub>4</sub>-P)、水温、电导率(Cond)和化学需氧量(COD)的影响,共解释了79%的生物量变化。结构方程模型表明,水位抬升能降低COD浓度,显著降低支流水体的叶绿素a含量。研究结果表明通过适当的水库调度能够有效抑制三峡支流水华,这可为水库生态环境管理和保护提供依据和新的解决方案。
