科学领域:
- 环境科学 环境科学
- 生物地质化学生物地质化学
- 城市生态城市生态学
背景情况:
- 河流对于全球碳 (C) 和 (N) 循环至关重要.
- 城市化河流作为温室气体 (GHG) 排放 (N2O,CO2,CH4) 的热点.
- 废水处理厂 (WWTP) 的废水对河流生物地质化学和温室气体产生有重大影响.
研究的目的:
- 调查温室气体分布及其控制环境因素在城市化河流接收废水.
- 量化废水对温室气体生产途径和排放特征的影响.
- 评估城市化河流对全球变暖潜力的贡献.
主要方法:
- 在潮湿和干燥期间取溶N2O,CO2和CH4度的现场采样.
- 分析环境参数,包括C和N负荷,C/N比率,溶氧 (DO) 和液压停留时间.
- 评估甲基生成,N2O生产,CH4氧化和碳固定过程.
- 在20年和100年范围内评估全球变暖潜力 (GWP).
主要成果:
- 废水增加了C和N负载,降低了C/N比率,并促进了N2O和CH4的生产.
- 城市化,高居住时间,低DO和高有机C有利于下游的甲化.
- 离出口附近的CH4氧化和甲反应抑制了CH4的排放,但增加了CO2的产生.
- 碳固定被抑制下游,导致二氧化碳排放增加.
- 持续的C,N和输入改变了微生物群落,增加了温室气体生产潜力.
- 与上游相比,下游的GWP显著增加 (在20年规模上高达186%).
结论:
- 接收WWTP废水的城市化河流作为反应堆,显著增加温室气体排放和GWP.
- 由IPCC推的排放因子可能低估了高度污染的城市河流中的N2O潜力.
- 调查结果强调,需要制定有效的战略,以减轻城市河流系统的温室气体排放.

Global Climate Change
24.3K
Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

Water plays a significant role in the life cycle of plants. However, insufficient or excess of water can be detrimental and pose a serious threat to plants.

Adaptations that Reduce Water Loss
25.2K
Though evaporation from plant leaves drives transpiration, it also results in loss of water. Because water is critical for photosynthetic reactions and other cellular processes, evolutionary pressures on plants in different environments have driven the acquisition of adaptations that reduce water loss.

What is Climate?
18.4K
Climate refers to the prevailing weather conditions in a specific area over an extended period. As the saying goes, “Climate is what you expect. Weather is what you get.” Climate is influenced by geographic factors, such as latitude, terrain, and proximity to bodies of water.
