Changes in habitat acoustics over the year can potentially affect fish hearing and orientation to sound, especially in temperate
climates. This is the first study where year-round changes in ambient noise in aquatic habitats were assessed. Seven different
European freshwater habitats were chosen for this study. Sound pressure level (SPL) and spectral composition of the ambient
noise varied in both quiet stagnant habitats (lakes, backwaters) and in flowing habitats (streams, rivers). Linear equivalent
SPL (LLeq, 60s) tended to be lower in stagnant habitats (means: 91.6–111.7 dB) than in flowing habitats (means: 111.2–133.4 dB). The changes
in SPL were smallest in the river (means: 4.2–4.4 dB, maxima: 8.5–10.1 dB), whereas significantly higher values were measured
in stagnant habitats and the stream (means: 9.9–14.9 dB, maxima: 25.1–30.9 dB). The spectral compositions of the ambient noise
determined at different times of the year were highly correlated to each other at the river sites (mean cross-correlation
coefficients: 0.85 and 0.94) and were weaker or not correlated at the other study sites (means: 0.24–0.76). The changes in
ambient noise spectra were negatively correlated to changes in SPL, indicating that large changes in SPLs were accompanied
by large changes in spectral composition and vice versa. Comparison of these eco-acoustical data with a preceding study (Amoser
and Ladich in J Exp Biol 208:3533–3542, 2005) indicates that the auditory sensitivity in hearing specialists is affected by changes in ambient noise levels and spectra
throughout a year and that this effect tends to be more pronounced in stagnant waters and the stream than at river sites.
On the other hand, absolute noise levels result in a higher degree of masking in flowing waters. 相似文献

The ecological effects of small run-of-river dams on aquatic ecosystems are poorly understood, especially on downstream benthic
algal communities. We examined impacts of such dams on the benthic diatom community at a regional scale in the Xiangxi River,
China. A total of 90 sites were visited, which were divided into five habitats (H1–H5) according to impact extent of each
dam. Using partial least squares (PLS) modeling, we developed two predictive models (diatom species richness and total diatom
density) based on environmental variables of an unregulated habitat (H1). These models were then used to predict species richness
and total densities at impacted habitats (H2–H5) and residuals, i.e. the differences between observed and predicted values,
were used to evaluate impact strength of flow regulation. Significant impacts of flow regulation on diatom species richness
were detected at three impacted habitats (H3–H5), where observed species richness were significantly higher—70.6, 63.9 and
46.6%, respectively—than predicted values. Then, possible mechanisms for observed impacts were discussed. Further research
is necessary to address the potential negative impacts of cascade run-of-river dams on other aquatic organisms in different
seasons, and to explore more appropriate mechanisms for such impacts, which may lead to sustainable management strategies
and help to determine the optimal ecological water requirement for the Xiangxi River. 相似文献

Decadal evolution of a degassing magma reservoir unravelled from fire fountains produced at Etna volcano (Italy) between 1989 and 2001 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Between 1989 and 2001, five eruptions at Etna displayed a regular alternation between repose periods and episodes rich in
gas, termed quasi-fire fountains and consisting of a series of Strombolian explosions sometimes leading to a fire fountain.
This behaviour results from the coalescence of a foam layer trapped at the top of the reservoir which was periodically rebuilt
prior to each episode (Vergniolle and Jaupart, J Geophys Res 95:2793–2809, 1990). Visual observations of fire fountains are combined with the foam dynamics to estimate the five degassing parameters characteristic
of the degassing reservoir, i.e. the number of bubbles, gas volume fraction, bubble diameter, reservoir thickness and reservoir
volume. The study of decadal cycles of eruptive patterns (Allard et al., Earth Sci Rev 78:85–114, 2006) suggests that the first eruption with fire fountains occurred in 1995 while the last one happened in 2001. The number of
bubbles and the gas volume fraction increase smoothly from the beginning of the cycle (1995) to its end (2001). The increasing
number of bubbles per cubic metre, from 0.61–20×105 to 0.1–3.4×109, results from cooling of the magma within the reservoir. The simultaneously decreasing bubble diameter, from 0.67–0.43 to
0.30–0.19 mm, is related to the decreasing amount of dissolved volatiles. Meanwhile, the thickness and the volume of the degassing
reservoir diminish, from values typical of the magma reservoir to values characteristic of a very thin bubbly layer, marking
the quasi-exhaustion of volatiles. The magma reservoir has a slender vertical shape, with a maximum thickness of 3,300–8,200 m
and a radius of 240 m (Vergniolle 2008), making its detection from seismic studies difficult. Its volume, at most 0.58–1.4 km3, is in agreement with geochemical studies (0.5 km3) (Le Cloarec and Pennisi, J Volcanol Geotherm Res 108:141–155, 2001). The time evolution of both the total gas volume expelled per eruption, and the inter-eruptive gas flux results from the
competition between the increasing number of bubbles and the decreasing bubble diameter. The smooth temporal evolution of
the five degassing parameters also points towards bubbles being produced by a self-induced mechanism within the magma reservoir
rather than by a magmatic reinjection prior to each eruption. The decadal cycles are therefore initiated by a magmatic reinjection,
in agreement with a typical return time of 14–80 years (Albarède 1993). Hence, the 1995 eruption results from a fresh magma being newly emplaced while the magma from the following eruptions is
progressively depleted in volatiles species until reaching a state of quasi-exhaustion in 2001. A magmatic reinjection of
0.13–0.6 km3 every few decades is sufficient to explain the expelled gas volume, including SO2. A scenario is also proposed for the alternation between gas-rich summit eruptions and gas-poor flank eruptions which are
observed during decadal cycles. The scenario proposed for Etna could also be at work at Piton de la Fournaise and Erta ’Ale
volcanoes. 相似文献

Liverpool Bay is a region of freshwater influence which receives significant freshwater loading from a number of major English
and Welsh rivers. Strong tidal current flow interacts with a persistent freshwater-induced horizontal density gradient to
produce strain-induced periodic stratification (SIPS). Recent work (Palmer in Ocean Dyn 60:219–226, 2010; Verspecht et al. in Geophys Res Lett 37:L18602, 2010) has identified significant modification to tidal ellipses in Liverpool Bay during stratification due to an associated reduction
in pycnocline eddy viscosity. Palmer (Ocean Dyn 60:219–226, 2010) identified that this modification results in asymmetry in flow in the upper and lower layers capable of permanently transporting
freshwater away from the Welsh coastline via a SIPS pumping mechanism. Observational data from a new set of observations from
the Irish Sea Observatory site B confirm these results; the measured residual flow is 4.0 cm s−1 to the north in the surface mixed layer and 2.4 cm s−1 to the south in the bottom mixed layer. A realistically forced 3D hydrodynamic ocean model POLCOMS succeeds in reproducing
many of the characteristics of flow and vertical density structure at site B and is used to estimate the transport of water
through a transect WT that runs parallel with the Welsh coast. Model results show that SIPS is the dominant steady state,
occurring for 78.2% of the time whilst enduring stratification exists only 21.0% of the year and enduring mixed periods, <1%.
SIPS produces a persistent offshore flow of freshened surface water throughout the year. The estimated net flux of water in
the surface mixed layer is 327 km3 year
−1, of which 281 km3 year−1 is attributable to SIPS periods. Whilst the freshwater component of this flux is small, the net flux of freshwater through
WT during SIPS is significant, the model estimates 1.69 km3 year−1 of freshwater to be transported away from the coast attributable to SIPS periods equivalent to 23% of annual average river
flow from the four catchment areas feeding Liverpool Bay. The results show SIPS pumping to be an important process in determining
the fate of freshwater and associated loads entering Liverpool Bay. 相似文献

A reappraisal of shear wave splitting parameters from Italian active volcanic areas through a semiautomatic algorithm 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Shear wave splitting parameters represent a useful tool to detail the stress changes occurring in volcanic environments before
impending eruptions. In the present paper, we display the parameter estimates obtained through implementation of a semiautomatic
algorithm applied to all useful datasets of the following Italian active volcanic areas: Mt. Vesuvius, Campi Flegrei, and
Mt. Etna. Most of these datasets have been the object of several studies (Bianco et al., Annali di Geofisica, XXXXIX 2:429–443,
1996, J Volcanol Geotherm Res 82:199–218, 1998a, Geophys Res Lett 25(10):1545–1548, 1998b, Phys Chem Earth 24:977–983, 1999, J Volcanol Geotherm Res 133:229–246, 2004, Geophys J Int 167(2):959–967, 2006; Del Pezzo et al., Bull Seismol Soc Am 94(2):439–452, 2004). Applying the semiautomatic algorithm, we confirmed the results obtained in previous studies, so we do not discuss in much
detail each of our findings but give a general overview of the anisotropic features of the investigated Italian volcanoes.
In order to make a comparison among the different volcanic areas, we present our results in terms of the main direction of
the fast polarization (φ) and percentage of shear wave anisotropy (ξ). 相似文献

Decomposition incorporates organic material delivered by Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) into aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems of streams where salmon spawn. We hypothesized that salmon tissue decomposition would be faster, and macroinvertebrate abundance and biomass higher, in terrestrial compared to aquatic habitats, and this would be reflected in the nutritional quality of the tissue. Salmon tissue in coarse-mesh bags was placed in four habitats [terrestrial: riparian (RIP), gravel bars (GRA); aquatic: stream sediment surface (STR), buried in sediments (BUR)] in four southeast Alaska watersheds. After 2 (RIP, GRA) or 4 (STR, BUR) weeks of decomposition, tissue dry mass, macronutrient content, and macroinvertebrate colonizer abundance and biomass were determined. Overall, tissue decomposition was rapid (mean k = 0.088 day?1), while nutritional quality remained high based on elemental ratios (mean C:N = 4.9; C:P = 140; N:P = 30), and differed among habitats (Linear-mixed effects model p < 0.05). Macroinvertebrate assemblages colonizing carcasses were unique to each habitat, although Diptera generally dominated. In terrestrial habitats, the dominant macroinvertebrates were Sphaeroceridae (96 % of invertebrate abundance in RIP habitat) and Calliphoridae larvae (98 % in GRA habitat). In aquatic habitats, the dominant macroinvertebrates were Chironomidae (48 % in STR habitat) and Chloroperlidae (72 % in BUR habitat). Macroinvertebrate colonizer abundance and biomass were higher in RIP (mean 286 individuals and 22 mg g?1) than in other habitats (mean 4 individuals and 3 mg g?1) (Friedman p < 0.05). Rapid decomposition rates and high invertebrate biomass, combined with the high nutritional quality of tissue, suggest rapid incorporation of critical salmon nutrients and energy into both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. 相似文献

Ecological flows between habitats are vital for predicting and understanding structure and function of recipient systems.
Ecological flows across riparian areas and headwater intermittent streams are likely to be especially important in many river
networks because of the shear extent of these interfaces, their high edge-to-width ratio, and the alternation of wet and dry
conditions in intermittent channels. While there has been substantial research supporting the importance of riparian-stream
linkages above-ground, comparatively less research has investigated below-ground linkages. We tested the hypothesis that riparian
roots are colonized by invertebrates as a food source within stream beds of intermittent headwater streams. We compared benthic
invertebrate assemblages colonizing three types of buried substrates (leaves, roots, and plastic roots) among three intermittent
Coastal Plain streams, each with a different riparian management treatment (clearcut, thinned, and reference), over a 1-year
period. Invertebrate density was significantly lower in root litterbags than in plastic roots litterbags, but neither differed
from densities in leaf litterbags. Total invertebrate abundances, however, were significantly higher in leaf and root litterbags
compared to abundances in plastic root litterbags. Invertebrate biomass and richness did not vary among substrates, but invertebrate
density, abundance, and richness all declined from the wet phase (September–December) through the dry phase (June–August).
Meiofauna and aquatic dipterans were the primary colonizing invertebrates during the wet phase. Relative abundance of terrestrial
taxa increased during the dry phase, but their absolute abundance remained lower than aquatic taxa during the wet phase. Invertebrate
composition did not differ among substrate types, but was significantly different among streams and time periods. Cumulative
number of dry days, degree days, and redox depth all strongly correlated with assemblage structure as indicated by ordination
scores. Our results suggest that subsurface invertebrates respond to leaves and roots as food sources, but assemblage composition
is not substrate specific. Colonization of leaves and roots within stream beds by aquatic and terrestrial taxa supports the
idea that headwater intermittent streams are important interfaces for the reciprocal exchange of energy and materials between
terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. 相似文献

Cross-ecosystem subsidies, such as terrestrial invertebrates and leaf litter falling into water as resources for aquatic communities,
can vary across environmental gradients. We examined whether the effect of terrestrial subsidy inputs on benthic invertebrates
was mediated by resident coastal cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarki) in two representative streams. We experimentally manipulated the input rates (reduced, ambient) of terrestrial subsidies
(terrestrial invertebrates and leaf litter) as well as the presence or absence of cutthroat trout in the two streams. The
hypothesis that the reduction of terrestrial subsidies to the stream influences benthic invertebrate assemblages was supported
by experimental results. The treatments of terrestrial subsidy reduction and cutthroat trout presence had a significant negative
effect on benthic invertebrate community biomass and shredder biomass in East Creek with high natural terrestrial subsidy
input and small amount of large wood in channel. In contrast, results from Spring Creek with low subsidy input and large amount
of large wood in channel showed that only the terrestrial subsidy reduction significantly reduced the biomass of shredders.
The effects of the terrestrial subsidy input and trout predation on benthic invertebrate communities varied between the two
streams. Our results indicate that a subsidy effect on benthic communities can vary between nearby streams differing in canopy
and habitats. This study, with the major finding of highly context-dependent effects of spatial subsidies, suggests that the
interplay of resource subsidies and predators on invertebrate community assemblages can be site-specific and context-dependent
on habitat features. 相似文献

Attenuation of coda waves in the Northeastern Region of India 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Coda wave attenuation quality factor Qc is estimated in the northeastern region of India using 45 local earthquakes recorded
by regional seismic network. The quality factor Qc was estimated using the single backscattering model modified by Sato (J
Phys Earth 25:27–41, 1977), in the frequency range 1–18 Hz. The attenuation and frequency dependence for different paths and the correlation of the
results with geotectonics of the region are described in this paper. A total of 3,890 Qc measurements covering 187 varying
paths are made for different lapse time window of 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, and 90 s in coda wave. The magnitudes of the
analyzed events range from 1.2 to 3.9 and focal depths range between 7 and 38 km. The source–receiver distances of the selected
events range between 16 and 270 km. For 30-s duration, the mean values of the estimated Qc vary from 50 ± 12 (at 1 Hz) to
2,078 ± 211(at 18 Hz) for the Arunachal Himalaya, 49 ± 14 (at 1 Hz) to 2,466 ± 197 (at 18 Hz) for the Indo-Burman, and 45
± 13 (at 1 Hz) to 2,069 ± 198 (at 18 Hz) for Shillong group of earthquakes. It is observed that Qc increases with frequency
portraying an average attenuation relation for the region. Moreover, the pattern of Qc − 1 with frequency is analogous to the estimates obtained in other tectonic areas in the world, except with the observation that
the Qc − 1 is much higher at 1 Hz for the northeastern region. The Qc − 1 is about 10 − 1.8 at 1 Hz and decreases to about 10 − 3.6 at 18 Hz indicating clear frequency dependence. Pertaining to the spatial distribution of Qc values, Mikir Hills and western
part of Shillong Plateau are characterized by lower attenuation. 相似文献

We used a comparative data set for 25 lakes in Denmark sampled during summer to explore the influence of lake morphometry,
catchment conditions, light availability and nutrient input on lake metabolism. We found that (1) gross primary production
(GPP) and community respiration (R) decline with lake area, water depth and drainage ratio, and increase with algal biomass
(Chl), dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and total phosphorus (TP); (2) all lakes, especially small with less incident light,
and forest lakes with high DOC, have negative net ecosystem production (NEP < 0); (3) daily variability of GPP decreases with
lake area and water depth as a consequence of lower input of nutrients and organic matter per unit water volume; (4) the influence
of benthic processes on free water metabolic measures declines with increasing lake size; and (5) with increasing lake size,
lake metabolism decreases significantly per unit water volume, while depth integrated areal rates remain more constant due
to a combination of increased light and nutrient limitation. Overall, these meta-parameters have as many significant but usually
weaker relationships to whole-lake and benthic metabolism as have TP, Chl and DOC that are directly linked to photosynthesis
and respiration. Combining water depth and Chl to predict GPP, and water depth and DOC to predict R, lead to stronger multiple
regression models accounting for 57–63% of the variability of metabolism among the 25 lakes. It is therefore important to
consider differences in lake morphometry and catchment conditions when comparing metabolic responses of lakes to human impacts. 相似文献

Net autotrophy in a fluvial lake: the relative role of phytoplankton and floating-leaved macrophytes
Monica Pinardi Marco Bartoli Daniele Longhi Pierluigi Viaroli 《Aquatic Sciences - Research Across Boundaries》2011,73(3):389-403
This study combined water- and sediment flux measurements with mass balances of dissolved gas and inorganic matter to determine
the importance of pelagic and benthic processes for whole-system metabolism in a eutrophic fluvial lake. Mass balances of
dissolved O2, inorganic carbon (DIC), nitrogen (DIN), phosphorous (SRP), particulate N (PN) and P (PP) and Chl a were calculated at a nearly monthly frequency by means of repeated sampling at the lake inlet and outlet. Simultaneously,
benthic fluxes of gas and nutrients, including denitrification rates, and the biomass of the dominant pleustophyte (Trapa natans) were measured, and fluxes of O2 and CO2 across the water–atmosphere interface were estimated from diel changes in outlet concentrations. On an annual scale, Middle
Lake exhibited CO2 supersaturation, averaging 313% (range 86–562%), but was autotrophic with a net O2 production (6.35 ± 2.05 mol m−2 y−1), DIC consumption (−31.18 ± 18.77 mol m−2 y−1) and net export of Chl a downstream (8.38 ± 0.95 mol C m−2 y−1). Phytoplankton was the main driver of Middle Lake metabolism, with a net primary production estimated at 33.24 mol O2 m−2 y−1, corresponding to a sequestration of 4.18 and 0.26 mol m−2 y−1 of N and P, respectively. At peak biomass, T. natans covered about 18% of Middle Lake’s surface and fixed 2.46, 0.17 and 0.02 mol m−2 of C, N and P, respectively. Surficial sediments were a sink for O2 (−14.47 ± 0.65 mol O2 m−2 y−1) and a source of DIC and NH4
+ (18.84 ± 2.80 mol DIC m−2 y−1 and 0.83 ± 0.16 mol NH4
+ m−2 y−1), and dissipated nitrate via denitrification (1.44 ± 0.11 mol NO3
− m−2 y−1). Overall, nutrient uptake by primary producers and regeneration from sediments were a minor fraction of external loads.
This work suggests that the creation of fluvial lakes can produce net autotrophic systems, with elevated rates of phytoplanktonic
primary production, largely sustained by allochtonous nutrient inputs. These hypereutrophic aquatic bodies are net C sinks,
although they simultaneously release CO2 to the atmosphere. 相似文献

Most vascular plants form symbioses with mycorrhizal fungi that associate with roots and provide nutrients to hosts in exchange
for carbohydrates, as well as serve a range of other functions. Mycorrhizal fungi have been studied extensively in upland
ecosystems, but we know less about their ecology at aquatic-terrestrial interfaces, especially their distributions at depth.
Our objectives were to determine whether abundances of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) change as floodplain islands develop
and to describe vertical distributions of AMF from the forest floor to the water table along the freely flowing Tagliamento
River in northeastern Italy. We sampled surface sediments (0–10 cm) from three stages of island development on the floodplain—fresh
deposits, pioneer islands, and established islands. We also sampled sediments vertically (0–150 cm) from the ground surface
to the water table on an established island. We characterized abundance of AMF propagules (colonized roots, spores, and hyphae)
within sediments. Roots available to host fungi were absent on fresh deposits; however, some viable spores and hyphae were
available at these sites. Pioneer and established islands each had similar hyphal lengths (~860 cm cm−3) and colonized root lengths (~3 cm cm−3). Abundance of spores increased from depositional (3.5 ± 0.9 (±SE) cm−3) to pioneer (17 ± 6.1 cm−3) to established (32 ± 6.3 cm−3) islands. On an established island, AMF propagules were present at all depths sampled, including at the water table, providing
first documentation of these symbionts to such depths in a riparian setting. Mycorrhizal fungi likely link aquatic and terrestrial
habitats by connecting plants, soil, and ground water and may influence nutrient transfers among these subsystems. 相似文献

Comprehensive evaluation of regional flood frequency analysis by L- and LH-moments. I. A re-visit to regional homogeneity 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

As part I of a sequence of two papers, previously developed L-moments by Hosking (J R Stat Soc Ser B Methodol 52(2):105–124,
1990), and the LH-moments by Wang (Water Resour Res 33(12):2841–2848, 1997) are re-visited. New relationships are developed for regional homogeneity analysis by the LH-moments, and further establishment
of regional homogeneity is investigated. Previous works of Hosking (J R Stat Soc Ser B Methodol 52(2):105–124, 1990) and Wang (Water Resour Res 33(12):2841–2848, 1997) on L-moments and LH-moments for the generalized extreme value (GEV) distribution are extended to the generalized Pareto
(GPA) and the generalized logistic (GLO) distributions. The Karkhe watershed, located in western Iran is used as a case study
area. Regional homogeneity was investigated by first assuming the entire study area as one regional cluster. Then the entire
study area was designated “homogeneous” by the L-moments (L); and was designated “heterogeneous” by all four levels of the
LH-moments (L1 to L4). The k-means method was used to investigate the case of two regional clusters. All levels of the L- and LH-moments designated the
upper watershed (region A), “homogeneous”, and the lower watershed (region B) “possibly-homogeneous”. The L3 level of the GPA and the L4 level of the GLO were selected for regions A and B, respectively. Wang (Water Resour Res 33(12):2841–2848, 1997) identified a reversing trend in improved performance of the GEV distribution at the LH-moments level of L3 (during the goodness-of-fit test). Similar results were also obtained in this research for the GEV distribution. However,
for the case of the GPA distribution the reversing trend started at L4 for region A; and at L2 for region B. As for the case of the GLO, an improved performance was observed for all levels (moving from L to L4); for both regions. 相似文献

The effect of horizontal grid resolution on the horizontal relative dispersion of particle pairs has been investigated on
a short time scale, i.e. one tidal M
2 cycle. Of particular interest is the tidal effect on dispersion and transports in coastal waters where small-scale flow features
are important. A three-dimensional ocean model has been applied to simulate the tidal flow through the Moskstraumen Maelstrom
outside Lofoten in northern Norway, well known for its strong current and whirlpools (Gjevik et al., Nature 388(6645):837–838,
1997; Moe et al., Cont Shelf Res 22(3):485–504, 2002). Simulations with spatial resolution down to 50 m have been carried out. Lagrangian tracers were passively advected with
the flow, and Lyapunov exponents and power law exponents have been calculated to analyse the separation statistics. It is
found that the relative dispersion of particles on a short time scale (12–24 h) is very sensitive to the grid size and that
the spatial variability is also very large, ranging from 0 to 100 km2 over a distance of 100 m. This means that models for prediction of transport and dispersion of oil spills, fish eggs, sea
lice etc. using a single diffusion coefficient will be of limited value, unless the models actually resolves the small-scale
eddies of the tidal current. 相似文献
