Maintaining eco-health of urban waterscapes with imbedded integrating ecological entity: Experimental approach

【摘要】 An imbedded integrating ecological entity(IIEE) was designed to combine landscaping, replenishing-water purifying and ecosystem maintaining simultaneously. With this IIEE, within 15 d experiment, simulated replenish water(SRW) with high(SRW-Ⅰ) or low(SRW-Ⅱ) nutrients concentration was well purified. Relative removal rates of CODCr, TP, TN, Chl-a and turbidity reached 84.87%, 84.05%, 94.76%, 188.17%, 110.93% when dealing SRW-Ⅰ, and 52.62%, 90.05%, 82.44%, 166.15%, 202.99%, respectively, when dealing SRW-Ⅱ. The well grew flora and fauna of IIEE benefit eco-maintaining and landscaping. Separately, the maximal root and stem length-increments of Cyperus alternifolius Linn. were 26.1 mm and 28.4 mm, while for Potamogeton crispus Linn. 18.3 mm and 25.7 mm. Mortality for both Bellamya aeruginosa and Misgurnus anguillicaudatus was both under 2.96%. The analysis of variance(ANOVA) indicated that most experimental indexes in each group performed more significantly better than those in their control. All results indicated that the IIEE is a promising technology for future urban waterscapes construction.更多还原
