[Characteristics of the wetland soil iron under different ages of reclamation].

The temporal-spatial trends of soil total iron concentration (Fet), free degree (Fed/Fet), activation degree (Feo/Fed) and complex degree (Fep/Fed) of soil iron oxides after reclamation were studied in Sanjiang Plain Wetlands. The result suggests that Fet in the upper tillage layers (0 - 20 cm) are influenced by reclamation more significantly than that in the lower ones (20 - 100 cm), and so does the early ages (0 - 1 years) than the late ages (1 - 25 years). Fet is negatively correlated with organic matter extremely significantly (R = - 0.

Novel hyperspectral reflectance models for estimating black-soil organic matter in Northeast China.

This paper presents a novel method for estimating black-soil organic matter (SOM) in the black-soil zone of northeast China from hyperspectral reflectance models. Traditional black-soil property measurements are relatively slow, but the pressures of agricultural production and environmental protection require a quick method to collect black-soil organic matter content. SOM estimation using soil hyperspectral reflectance models can meet this requirement, based on the spectral characteristics of black-soil in Northeast China.

[Soil taxonomy on the basis of reflectance spectral characteristics].

Soil spectral reflectance is the comprehensive representation of soil physical and chemical parameters, and its study is the physical basis for soil remote sensing and provides a new way and standard for soil properties themselves' research. Soil room spectra significantly correlate with that derived from hyperspectral images. So the room spectra are very important for soil taxonomy and investigation.

[Effects of long-term fertilization on enzyme activities in black soil of Northeast China].

In this paper, black soil samples at the depths of 0-20 cm and 20-40 cm were collected from the Hailun Agricultural Ecology Station of Chinese Academy of Sciences to study the effects of long-term fertilization on their urease, invertase, phosphatase and catalase activities and total C and N contents. The results showed that long-term application of chemical fertilizers and organic manure increased the activities of urease, invertase and phosphatase in 0-20 cm and 20-40 cm soil layers in different degree, and the combined application of them increased the activities of the three enzymes significantly, with an increment of 43.6%-113.

Along with the development of urbanization, the EF in the Province increased from 1.

[Phosphorus fractions under different land uses in Sanjiang plain].

Five land-uses type (soybean-filed, rice-field, abandoned cultivation, artificial forest, natural wetland) were obtained before planting and soil P fractions were determined by a modified Hedley fraction method. The result showed that the content of total P (TP) in natural wetland was higher than other soil. While the proportion of total inorganic P (TPi) in TP of farm land soil was higher than that of wetland.

Distribution characteristics of dissolved organic carbon in annular wetland soil-water solutions through soil profiles in the Sanjiang Plain, northeast China.

Overwhelming evidence reveals that concentrations of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) have increased in streams which brings negative environmental impacts. DOC in stream flow is mainly originated from soil-water solutions of watershed. Wetlands prove to be the most sensitive areas as an important DOC reserve between terrestrial and fluvial biogeosystems.

Population health risk due to dietary intake of heavy metals in the industrial area of Huludao City, China.

For most people, diet is the main route of exposure to trace metals, so the assessment risks of these elements to human via dietary intake is important. The non-carcinogenic health risk of Hg, Pb, Cd, Zn and Cu to the adults and children via dietary intake in the industrial area of Huludao city, northeast of China was estimated. The industrial area of Huludao has been contaminated seriously by heavy metals due to heavy metals smelting.

Reasonable structure, adaptive patterns and effective regulation of society, economy and environment subsystems should be taken into account in order to obtain harmonious development of urban eco-industrial system. We simulated and evaluated a redesigned eco-industrial system in Changchun Economic and Technological Development Zone (CCETDZ) in the present work using system dynamics and grey cluster methods. Four typical development strategies were simulated during 2005-2020 via standard system dynamic models.

[Effects of storage conditions and sowing methods on seed germination of Leymus chinensis].

This paper studied the effects of four storage conditions (dry storage at 4 degrees C, dry storage at room temperature, storage in moist non-saline-alkali soil at 4 degrees C, and storage in moist saline-alkali soil at 4 degrees C), three germination substrates (filter paper, non-saline-alkali soil, and saline-alkali soil), and two sowing methods (sowing on and in the substrates) on the seed germination of Leymus chinensis. The results showed that compared with the dry storage at room temperature, dry storage at 4 degrees C improved the germination velocity significantly, but had less effect on germination rate. When stored in moist saline-alkali soil, the germination rate was only 28.
