Temporal and spatial patterns of recruitment (R) and spawning stock biomass (S) variability were compared among functionally analogous species and similar feeding guilds from six marine ecosystems. Data were aggregated into four regions including the Gulf of Maine/Georges Bank, the Norwegian/Barents Seas, the eastern Bering Sea, and the Gulf of Alaska. Variability was characterized by calculating coefficients of variation and anomalies for three response variables: ln(R), ln(R/S), and stock–recruit model residuals. Patterns of synchrony and asynchrony in the response variables were examined among and between ecosystems, between- and within-ocean basins and among functionally analogous species groups using pair-wise correlation analysis corrected for within-time series autocorrelation, multivariate cross-correlation analyses and regime shift detectors. Time series trends in response variables showed consistent within basin similarities and consistent and coherent differences between the Atlantic and Pacific basin ecosystems. Regime shift detection algorithms identified two broad-scale regime shift time periods for the pelagic feeding guild (1972–1976 and 1999–2002) and possibly one for the benthic feeding guild (1999–2002). No spatial patterns in response variable coefficients of variation were observed. Results from multivariate cross-correlation analysis showed similar trends. The data suggest common external factors act in synchrony on stocks within ocean basins but temporal stock patterns, often of the same species or functional group, between basins change in opposition to each other. Basin-scale results (similar within but different between) suggest that the two geographically broad areas are connected by unknown mechanisms that, depending on the year, may influence the two basins in opposite ways. This work demonstrates that commonalities and synchronies in recruitment fluctuations can be found across geographically distant ecosystems but biophysical causes of the fluctuations remain difficult to identify.  相似文献   

Combined three-dimensional electric and seismic tomography study on the Åknes rockslide in western Norway

We present a combined 3-D geoelectric and seismic tomography study conducted on the large Åknes rockslide in western Norway. Movements on the slope are strongly influenced by water infiltration, such that the hydrogeological regime is considered as a critical factor affecting the slope stability. The aim of our combined geophysical study was to identify and visualize the main shallow tension fractures and to determine their effect on hydraulic processes by comparing the geophysical results with information from borehole logging and tracer tests. To resolve the complex subsurface conditions of the highly fractured rock mass, a three-dimensional set-up was chosen for our seismic survey. To map the water distribution within the rock mass, a pattern of nine intersecting 2-D geoelectric profiles covered the complete unstable slope. Six of them that crossed the seismic survey area were considered as a single data set in a 3-D inversion. For both methods, smoothing-constraint inversion algorithms were used, and the forward calculations and parameterizations were based on unstructured triangular meshes. A pair of parallel shallow low-velocity anomalies (< 1400 m/s) observed in the final seismic tomogram was immediately underlain by two anomalies with resistivities <13 kΩm in the resistivity tomogram. In combination with borehole logging results, the low-velocity and resistivity anomalies could be associated with the drained and water-filled part of the tension fractures, respectively. There were indications from impeller flowmeter measurements and tracer tests that such tension fractures intersected several other water-filled fractures and were responsible for distinct changes of the main groundwater flow paths.  相似文献

Effects of F,B2O3 and P2O5 on the solubility of water in haplogranite melts compared to natural silicate melts     

François Holtz  Donald B. Dingwell  Harald Behrens 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1993,113(4):492-501

The effects of F, B₂O₃ and P₂O₅ on the H₂O solubility in a haplogranite liquid (36 wt. % SiO₂, 39 wt. % NaAlSi₃O₈, 25 wt. % KAlSi₃O₈) have been determined at 0.5, 1, 2, and 3 kb and 800, 850, and 900°C. The H₂O solubility increases with increasing F and B content of the melt. The H₂O solubility increase in more important at high pressure (2 and 3 kb) than at low pressure (0.5 kb). At 2 kb and 800°C, the H₂O solubility increases from 5.94 to 8.22 wt. % H₂O with increasing F content in the melt from 0 to 4.55 wt. %, corresponding to a linear H₂O solubility increase of 0.53 mol H₂O/mol F. With addition of 4.35 wt. % B₂O₃, the H₂O solubility increases up to 6.86 wt. % H₂O at 2 kb and 800°C, corresponding to a linear increase of 1.05 mol H₂O/mol B₂O₃. The results allow to define the individual effects of fluorine and boron on H₂O solubility in haplogranitic melts with compositions close to that of H₂O-saturated thermal minima (at 0.5–3 kb). Although P has a dramatic effect on the phase relations in the haplogranite system, its effect on the H₂O solubility was found to be negligible in natural melt compositions. The concominant increase in H₂O solubility and F can not be interpreted on the basis of the available spectroscopic data (existence of hydrated aluminofluoride complexes or not). In contrast, hydrated borates or more probably boroxol complexes have been demonstrated in B-bearing hydrous melts.  相似文献   

Who sets the environmental standards for tomorrow''s industry: Industry, consumers, government regulations, the green lobby?     

Harald Rensvik 《Marine pollution bulletin》1994,29(6-12):277-278

The paper discusses the role of all parties involved in the debate about environmental standards, their relationships in an ideal situation, the weaknesses today and how these weaknesses could be corrected. The question of who should set the environmental standards is an important element on the way to this ideal situation. It is considered necessary that all parties, industry, consumers, government regulations and the green lobby, should contribute to the development of better environmental standards.  相似文献   

Coherence mapping—An automated approach to display goodness-of-correlation between wells in a field     

Harald S. Poelchau 《Mathematical Geosciences》1987,19(8):833-850

Patterns of inter-well correlations in map view can yield insight into the architecture of an area such as a petroleum reservoir. Preferred directions of fluid communications, discontinuities, and structural or depositional “grain” of an area often can be identified. In coherence mapping, large numbers of wells are compared in pairs, using a similarity coefficient. Sliding cross-correlation techniques of sections can be used to adjust for some normal stratigraphic inconsistencies. The calculated parameters are mapped as vector spider plots for each well, or as link-lines between well pairs with line thickness proportional to the strength of correlation. The resulting maps display areas of coherence and lines of discontinuities which can be interpreted according to the geologic style of the region. The method works best for areas with relatively great density of wells and uniform distribution. The database should contain logs digitized over the interval of interest and at least one stratigraphic marker. A pilot study of a carbonate reservoir with some 150 wells provided useful suggestions for reinterpretation of the field in terms of steeply dipping clinoforms of basin margin deposits.  相似文献   

On the formation of the vein-type uranium „Yellow Ores“ from the Schwarzach Area (NE-Bavaria,Germany) and on the behaviour of P,As, V and Se during supergene processes     

Dr. Harald Dill 《International Journal of Earth Sciences》1983,72(3):955-980

Most of the U occurrences situated at the western edge of the Bohemian Massif show in their upper parts secondary U minerals. The immigration (P, V, As and Se) from the country rocks and the ore body, via saprolite and paleosoils into the secondary ore minerals is investigated. The P content is suggested to be closely related to hydromorphic paleosoils. From those intermediate stages it may have been brought into the upper parts of the vein structures. No laterogenic impoverishment in the wall rocks with respect to phosphorus or apatite could be determined. The arsenic distributions is also governed as at other sulfide deposits by underlying sulfides and reducing conditions of a primary hypogene ore zone, whereas vanadium content in U secondary minerals is closely related to the enclosing country rocks. Granites, on account of their low content in mafic minerals, have low V contents in U secondary minerals. Besides the Schwarzach Area, U ore mineralisations from other U occurrences have been investigated. Some of the U deposits are certainly of “per ascensum” origin and their secondary U mineralisation can well be interpreted as having been derived from the underlying primary “black ores”. However, some mineralisations cannot be classified with certainty as being “per ascensum”. They include some properties pointing to “per ascensum” (e. g. sulfide association) as well as characteristics typical for “per descensum” (small depth, large amounts of U-VI minerals). The mode of formation may in some cases be as follows: Variscan or Alpine ore mineralisations of no economic significance may have formed a reducing environment and caused U to be concentrated. Younger redistribution processes influenced by modern tectonics (uplifting) and the fluviatile drainage pattern have taken place and in some cases destroyed the primary deposits or enhanced the ore mineralisation. These processes roughly resemble those described from sandstone — hosted roll front deposits.  相似文献   

A Review of Forest Gap Models   总被引：25，自引：0，他引：25  

Harald Bugmann 《Climatic change》2001,51(3-4):259-305

Forest gap models, initially conceived in 1969 as a special case of individual-tree based models, have become widely popular among forest ecologists for addressing a large number of applied research questions, including the impacts of global change on long-term dynamics of forest structure, biomass, and composition. However, they have been strongly criticized for a number of weaknesses inherent in the original model structure. In this paper, I review the fundamental assumptions underlying forest gap models, the structure of the parent model JABOWA, and examine these criticisms in the context of the many alternative formulations that have been developed over the past 30 years.Four assumptions originally underlie gap models: (1) The forest is abstracted as a composite of many small patches of land, where each can have a different age and successional stage; (2) patches are horizontally homogeneous, i.e., tree position within a patch is not considered; (3) the leaves of each tree are located in an indefinitely thin layer (disk) at the top of the stem; and (4) successional processes are described on each patch separately, i.e., there are no interactions between patches. These simplifications made it possible to consider mixed-species, mixed-age forests, which had been difficult previously mainly because of computing limitations.The structure of JABOWA is analysed in terms of the functional relationships used for formulating the processes of tree establishment, growth, and mortality. It is concluded that JABOWA contains a number of unrealistic assumptions that have not been questioned strongly to date. At the same time, some aspects of JABOWA that were criticized strongly in the past years are internally consistent given the objectives of this specific model.A wide variety of formulations for growth processes, establishment, and mortality factors have been developed in gap models over the past 30 years, and modern gap models include more robust parameterizations of environmental influences on tree growth and population dynamics as compared to JABOWA. Approaches taken in more recent models that led to the relaxation of one or several of the four basic assumptions are discussed. It is found that the original assumptions often have been replaced by alternatives; however, no systematic analysis of the behavioral effects of these conceptual changes has been attempted to date.The feasibility of including more physiological detail (instead of using relatively simple parameterizations) in forest gap models is discussed, and it is concluded that we often lack the data base to implement such approaches for more than a few commercially important tree species. Hence, it is important to find a compromise between using simplistic parameterizations and expanding gap models with physiology-based functions and parameters that are difficult to estimate. While the modeling of tree growth has received a lot of attention over the past years, much less effort has been spent on improving the formulations of tree establishment and mortality, although these processes are likely to be just as sensitive to global change as tree growth itself. Finally, model validation issues are discussed, and it is found that there is no single data source that can reliably be used for evaluating the behavior of forest gap models; instead, I propose a combination of sensitivity analyses, qualitative examinations of process formulations, and quantitative tests of gap models or selected submodels against various kinds of empirical data to evaluate the usefulness of these models for assessing their utility for predicting the impacts of global change on long-term forest dynamics.  相似文献

Comagmatic lamprophyres and diabases on the south coast of Norway     

Dr. Harald Carstens 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1959,6(5):299-319

Two lamprophyre-diabase associations on the south coast of Norway are described. The lamprophyres and the diabases contain feldspathic leucocratic segregations in the shape of ocelli, ocellar pipes, sheets, or irregular veins and schheren. The origin of the lamprophyres is considered to be related to the formation of the leucocratic segregations. It is believed that the behaviour of alkaline volatiles under the influence of tensional stress and gravity accounts for the differentiation.  相似文献
