A three-step methodology to assess the carbon sequestration and the environmental impact of afforestation projects in the framework of the Flexible Mechanisms of the Kyoto Protocol (Joint Implementation and Clean Development Mechanism) was developed and tested using a dataset collected from the Jonkershoek forest plantation, Western Cape, South Africa, which was established with Pinus radiata in former native fynbos vegetation and indigenous forest. The impact of a change in land use was evaluated for a multifunctional, a production and a non-conversion scenario. First, the carbon balance was modelled with GORCAM and was expressed as (1) C sequestration in tC ha⁻¹ year⁻¹ in soil, litter, and living biomass according to the rules of the first commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol, and (2) CO₂ emission reductions in tC ha⁻¹ year⁻¹, which includes carbon sequestered in the above-mentioned pools and additionally in wood products, as well as emission reductions due to fossil fuel substitution. To estimate forest growth, three data sources were used: (1) inventory data, (2) growth simulation with a process-based model, and (3) yield tables. Second, the effects of land use change were assessed for different project scenarios using a method related to Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). The method uses 17 quantitative indicators to describe the impact of project activities on water, soil, vegetation cover and biodiversity. Indicator scores were calculated by comparing indicator values with reference values, estimated for the climax vegetation. The climax vegetation is the site-specific ecosystem phase with the highest exergy content and the highest exergy flow dissipation capacity. Third, the land use impact per functional unit of 1 tC sequestered was calculated by combining the results of step 1 and step 2. The average baselines to obtain carbon additionality are 476 tC ha⁻¹ for indigenous forest and 32 tC ha⁻¹ for fynbos. Results show that the influence of the growth assessment method on the magnitude of C sequestration and hence on the environmental impact per functional unit is large. When growth rate is assessed with the mechanistic model and with the yield table, it is overestimated in the early years and underestimated in the long term. The main conclusion of the scenario analysis is that the production forest scenario causes higher impacts per functional unit than the multifunctional scenario, but with the latter being less efficient in avoiding CO₂ emissions. The proposed method to assess impacts on diverse components of the ecosystem is able to estimate the general tendency of the adverse and positive effects of each scenario. However, some indicators, more specifically about biodiversity and water balance, could be improved or reinterpreted in light of specific local data about threat to biodiversity and water status.  相似文献   

Hepatic 7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase Activity in eel (Anguilla Anguilla) from The Thames Estuary and Comparisons with other United Kingdom Estuaries

Hepatic microsomal 7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD) activities (indicative of exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and polychlorobiphenyls (PCBs)) were measured in eel Anguilla anguilla from the Thames Estuary. Fish were collected from up to 13 sites during November 1997, May and August 1998 and October 1999. Throughout this period no clear seasonal variation could be identified at every site along the Thames. However, during the summer months, fish sampled from sites in the middle to the upper estuary (Woolwich, Greenhithe and West Thurrock) reported up to 3-fold higher EROD activities compared to sites either at the upper reaches (Richmond and Brentford) at the same time of the year, or fish sampled in winter, along the entire length of the estuary. A laboratory exposure experiment demonstrated a 3-fold elevation of EROD activity 2 days after injection with β-naphthoflavone (β-NF). However, higher levels of activity could be determined in fish sampled from the Weston canal near the Merseyside. The lowest levels of A. anguilla EROD activity were observed in fish sampled from the upper reaches of the River Tamar, Devon, and were comparable to activities determined in fish from the Wear and Humber estuaries. A. anguilla sampled along the Thames, Tyne and Tees estuaries reported between 2.5- and 7-fold higher EROD activities compared to fish collected from the Tamar. These results indicate that a low to moderate induction of A. anguilla CYP1A had occurred (indicative of low to moderate exposure to PAHs and planar PCBs) in fish collected from the Thames, Tyne, Wear, Tees, Humber and Tamar estuaries. However, the highest level of EROD activity was observed in fish from the Weston Canal (Merseyside).  相似文献

A study of ozone mini-hole formation using a tracer advection model driven by barotropic dynamics     

P. M. James  D. Peters  K. M. Greisiger 《Meteorology and Atmospheric Physics》1997,64(1-2):107-121

Summary An ozone mini-hole is a region of strongly depleted column total ozone amounts, associated with the growth of synoptic-scale wave disturbances. Their formation is illustrated here using a sequence of idealised model experiments. Simplified barotropic dynamics are used to drive an ozone tracer advection model on an f-plane representing a hemisphere. Firstly, the Contour Dynamics method is used to integrate the barotropic vorticity equation. Vorticity contours are initialised to simulate typical planetary wave structures and the developing wind field advects components of the ozone model. The vertical profiles of ozone mixing ratio are represented by simple linear functions, separated by a tropopause height field and capped by an upper model boundary. Integrating these profiles thus yields a total column ozone field which is closely dependent on tropopause height. In addition to horizontal advection, a vertical motion parametrisation is included, based on a quasi-geostrophic theory for tropopause displacement. The model is also used to simulate the formation of an actual mini-hole which occurred over northern Europe. Here, observed fields of vorticity, ozone and tropopause height are employed and the system integrated using a pseudo-spectral method. The mini-hole is successfully simulated, despite the simple model dynamics. The results demonstrate the correlation between column total ozone and the tropopause height and confirm the crucial role played by vertical air motions and by the meridional gradients of mid-stratospheric ozone mixing ratios for the formation of ozone mini-holes.With 12 Figures  相似文献   

Partial purification and properties of cytochrome P450 from digestive gland microsomes of the common mussel, Mytilus edulis L.     

Cinta Porte  Philippe Lemaire  Laurence D. Peters  David R. Livingstone   《Marine environmental research》1995,39(1-4)

Cytochrome P450 from the digestive gland of M. edulis was partially purified by sodium cholate solubilization, 4–15% polyethylene glycol fractionation, and octyl-Sepharose affinity, DEAE-Sephacel ion-exchange and hydroxylapatite chromatography (yields of up to 7–10%). Three peaks were resolved by DEAE-Sephacel chromatography (termed peaks 1–3). P450 specific content was increased from 26 to 800 pmol per mg protein, and the ratio of P450 content to NADPH-cytochrome c (P450) reductase activity reduced by a factor of 250. Oxidised spectrum λmax of P450 was 410.5 ± 1.5 nm. Type II difference spectra were seen with both type II (clotrimazole, metyrapone) and type I (α-naphthoflavone, 7-ethoxycoumarin) compounds. Western blotting with polyclonal anti-P4501A from perch (Perca fluviatilis) gave a single band of approximately 54 kDa molecular weight. A reconstituted system containing peak 2 or 3, rat liver P450 reductase, lipid and NADPH metabolised benzo[a]pyrene to diones, diols, phenols and putative protein adducts. Peak 2 plus cumene hydroperoxide was indicated to produce diones and protein adducts only. Peak 2 alone was indicated to produce diones and phenols. The major free metabolites in all cases were diones (53–100%). The results indicate the existence of a P4501A-like enzyme in M. edulis, possibly with unusual properties as indicated by the difference spectra, metabolism in absence of NADPH and added P450 reductase, and predominance of diones.  相似文献   

The Cerchar Abrasivity Index and its relation to rock mineralogy and petrography   总被引：2，自引：1，他引：2

SummaryThe Cerchar Abrasivity Index and Its Relation to Rock Mineralogy and Petrography To evaluate the relation between the Cerchar Abrasivity Index (a parameter used in calculating advance rates of full face tunnelling machines) and the petrography of the rocks, measurements were made on minerals and monomineralic rocks. From these data a theoretical abrasivity (quartz equivalence) can be calculated for every rock composition. From the comparison of the theoretical and experimentally determined abrasivity the influence of fabric and other factors besides mineralogical composition were deduced.With 2 Figures  相似文献   

Corresponding states in binary solutions,and graphical determination of Margules parameters     

Christian de Capitani  Tjerk Peters 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1982,81(1):48-58

The thermodynamic properties of non-ideal binary solutions were investigated. By using reduced temperatures (T/T _{critical mixing}) and comparing the width of the solvi in very different binary systems, a uniform relation for several systems is obtained for which the concept of corresponding solvi is introduced.A graphical method is developed to determine Margules parameters from two-phase regions in solid solutions. Graphs are presented for binodal — as well as spinodal solvi. The Margules parameters obtained with these graphs are comparable with the calculated ones.In well investigated systems from the literature constant ratios of Margules parameters (W _a /W _b ) were recognized so far. Combining this observation with the concept of corresponding solvi, a tentative solvus can be constructed with a minimum of data.List of Symbols Used in the Calculations x Mole fraction of component B in solid solution - x ₁ Mole fraction of component B in phase 1 - x ₂ Mole fraction of component B in phase 2 - _A ⁰ Chemical potential of 1 mole pure component A - _B ⁰ Chemical potential of 1 mole pure component B - _A(x), _A Chemical potential of component A in solid solution - _B(x), _B Chemical potential of component B in solid solution - G Total Gibbs energy of the system - ¯G _m (x), ¯G_m Molar Gibbs energy of solid solution - ¯G _m ^E (x) Excess function - W _a , W _b Margules parameters - T Absolute temperature in K - P Pressure  相似文献   

Structurally incorporated and water extractable chlorine in the Boettstein granite (N. Switzerland)     

Tjerk Peters 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1986,94(3):272-273

Samples from fresh to strongly hydrothermally altered granite have been analysed for water-, HNO₃-extractable and total chlorine. From the total of 115 ppm Cl, 60 ppm are contained in fluid inclusions, 1–2 ppm in apatite and 50 ppm in biotite. It is obvious that the high salinity (1,330 mg/l) of the deep ground water in this granite can be obtained by extraction from a fraction of chlorine originating from broken inclusions in tectonic breccias in fault zones.  相似文献
