To analyze the development of pine ecosystems on lignite and pyrite containing mine soils, four pine stands with ages of 3–35 years were investigated in a chronosequence approach. Bulk precipitation, throughfall and soil solution in depths of 20, 40, 70 and 100 cm were studied over a three-year period to determine element fluxes in these forest ecosystems on extreme acidic and saline soils.Element budgets are controlled by the processes induced by pyrite oxidation such as intensive weathering of primary minerals, precipitation and leaching of secondary phases.Despite low water fluxes, element outputs can reach extraordinary high values due to very high concentrations in the soil solution. Although element outputs decrease drastically with stand age, respectively, site age, they exceed those of comparable pine stands on non-mine sites. Nitrogen release from the lignite fraction represents a special characteristic of the examined substrates. Nitrogen losses beneath the rooted zone can be 34 kg N ha⁻¹ yr⁻¹ in 100 cm depth. Element input and output in the examined ecosystems are far from balance. Closed cycling of nutrients seems to be recognizable in the case of potassium.  相似文献   

Metabolism and organic carbon fluxes in the tidal freshwater Hudson River     

R. W. Howarth  R. Schneider  D. Swaney 《Estuaries and Coasts》1996,19(4):848-865

We summarize rates of metabolism and major sources and sinks of organic carbon in the 148-k long, tidally influenced, freshwater Hudson River. The river is strongly heterotrophic, with respiration exceeding gross primary production (GPP). The P:R ration averages 0.57 (defined as the ratio of GPP to total ecosystem respiration) if only the aquatic portion of the ecosystem is considered and 0.70 if the emergent marshes are also included. Gross primary production (GPP) by photoplankton averages approximately 300 g C m^?2 yr^?1 and is an order of magnitude greater than that by submersed macrophytes. However, the river is deep, well mixed, and turbid, and phytoplankton spend a majority of their time in the dark. As a result, respiration by living phytoplankton is extremely high and net primary production (NPP) by phytoplankton is estimated to be only some 6% of GPP. NPP by phytoplankton and submersed macrophytes are roughly equal (approximately 20 g C m^?2 yr^?1 each) when averaged over the river. Emergent marshes are quite productive, but probably less than 16 g C m^?2 yr^?1 enters the aquatic portion of the ecosystem from these marshes. Heterotrophic respiration and secondary production in the river are driven primarily by allochthonous inputs of organic matter from terrestrial sources. Rates of metabolism vary along the river, with depth being a critical controlling factor. The P:R ratio for the aquatic portion of the ecosystem varies from 1 in the mid-river to 0.2 in the deeper waters. NPP is actually negative in the downstream waters where average depths are greater since phytoplankton respiration exceeds GPP there; the positive rates of NPP occurring upriver support a downstream advection of phytoplankton to the deeper waters where this C is largely respired away by the algae themselves. This autotrophic respiration contributes significantly to oxygen depletion in the deeper waters of the Hudson. The tidally influenced freshwater Hudson largely fits the patterns predicted by the river continuum model for larger rivers. However, we suggest that the continuum model needs to more clearly distinguish between GPP and NPP and should include the importance of autotrophic respiration by phytoplankton that are advected along a river. The organic carbon budget for the tidally influenced freshwater Hudson is balanced to within a few percent. Respiration (54%) and downstream advection into the saline estuary (41%) are the major losses of organic carbon from the ecosystem. Allochthonous inputs from nonpoint sources on land (61%) and GPP by phytoplankton (28%) are the major sources to the system. Agricultural erosion is the major source of allochthonous inputs. Since agricultural land use increased dramatically in the last century, and has fallen in this century, the carbon cycle of the tidally influenced freshwater Hudson River has probably changed markedly over time. Before human disturbance, the Hudson was probably a less heterotrophic system and may even have been autotrophic, with gross primary production exceeding ecosystem respiration.  相似文献   

An estimate of late Pleistocene geomagnetic intensity variation from Sulu Sea sediments   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

David A. Schneider 《Earth and Planetary Science Letters》1993,120(3-4):301-310

Sediments from Site 769 of the Ocean Drilling Program's Leg 124 provide a record of geomagnetic intensity variation over the past 110 ky. Using continous shipboard measurements exclusively, I estimate the variation in the geomagnetic field strength by employing low-field magnetic susceptibility as a normalization parameter for the measured remanence intensity. By calibrating the resultant relative paleointensity record against previously available Holocene age estimates of absolute paleointensity, I derive an estimate of virtual dipole moment since 110 ka. The record obtained from these Sulu Sea sediments is strikingly like that previously obtained from sediments of a similar age in the Mediterranean Basin with distinct intervals of low intensity near 15, 20, 40 and 65–70 ka. The Sulu sediments also indicate a low-intensity feature near 108 ka. Important differences in paleointensity estimates obtained from these different regions for the interval between 30 and 20 ka suggest that a relatively large non-dipolar component of the geomagnetic field might have been present at that time.  相似文献

Grundzüge der Geotektonischen Entwicklung Südafrikas     

Dr. Alfred Leube 《International Journal of Earth Sciences》1963,52(2):721-744

Zusammenfassung Der südafrikanische Subkontinent kann genetisch in drei Einheiten verschiedenen Alters und unterschiedlicher Entwicklung gegliedert werden. Der älteste Teil wurde etwa vor 3000×10⁶ Jahren stabiler Schelf. Die folgende Geosynklinalbildung — nicht so eindeutig umrissen wie die erste — erlebte ihre Hauptdeformation etwa eine Milliarde Jahre später. Der jüngste Deformationsgürtel erstreckt sich parallel zum Atlantischen Ozean und dürfte ans Ende des Präkambriums zu stellen sein.Präkambrische Geosynklinalen scheinen ausgedehnter und langsamer in ihrer Entwicklung gewesen zu sein als jüngere analoge Einheiten. Früharchaische, kaum deformierte und nur schwachmetamorphe Einheiten werden aus dem östlichen Südafrika beschrieben.

According to the structural evolution of South Africa the subcontinent can be divided into three major units of different age and historical development. The oldest part became a stable shelf about 3000×10⁶ years ago. The following geosyncline, not as well defined as the first unit, was subjected to its major folding about 1000×10⁶ years later. The youngest belt, parallel to the Atlantic Ocean, is of late Pre-Cambrian age.Pre-Cambrian geosynclines apparently have not only been considerably larger, but also required much longer time for the completion of one geotectonic cycle than during younger, post-Cambrian periods of the earth's history. The existence of hardly folded and very slightly metamorphosed early Archean rocks is described of the eastern part of South Africa.

Résumé Conformément à l'évolution structurale de l'Afrique du Sud, cette partie du continent peut être divisée en trois unités principales d'âges et de développement historique différents. La partie la plus ancienne devint un massif stable il y a quelque 3.000×10⁶ années. Le géosynclinal suivant, qui n'était pas aussi bien défini que le premier, a subi son plissement principal quelque 1000×10⁶ années plus tard. Le segment le plus jeune, parallèle à l'Océan atlantique, est d'âge précambrien récent.Les géosynclinaux précambriens non seulement semblent avoir été considérablement plus vastes, mais ont pris également pour accomplir un cycle géotectonique un temps plus long que lors des périodes plus récentes de l'histoire de la terre, postérieures au Cambrien. L'existence de roches archéennes anciennes à peine plissées et très faiblement métamorphosées est décrite dans la partie orientale de l'Afrique méridionale.

Two classes of volcanic plumes on Io   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Alfred S. McEwen  Laurence A. Soderblom 《Icarus》1983,55(2):191-217

Comparison of Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 images of the south polar region of Io has revealed that a major volcanic eruption occured there during the period between the two spacecraft encounters. An annular deposit ～1400 km in diameter formed around the Aten Patera caldera (311°W, 48°S), the floor of which changed from orange to red-black. The characteristics of this eruption are remarkably similar to those described earlier for an eruption centered on Surt caldera (338°W, 45°N) that occured during the same period, also at high latitude, but in the north. Both volcanic centers were evidently inactive during the Voyager 1 and 2 encounters but were active sometime between the two. The geometric and colorimetric characteristics, as well as scale of the two annular deposits, are virtually identical; both resemble the surface features formed by the eruption of Pele (255°W, 18°S). These three very large plume eruptions suggest a class of eruption distinct from that of six smaller plumes observed to be continously active by both Voyagers 1 and 2. The smaller plumes, of which Prometheus is the type example, are longer-lived, deposit bright, whitish material, erupt at velocities of ～0.5 km sec^?1, and are concentrated at low latitudes in an equatorial belt around the satellite. The very large Pele-type plumes, on the other hand, are relatively short-lived, deposit darker red materials, erupt at ～1.0 km sec^?1, and (rather than restricted to a latitudinal band) are restricted in longitude from 240° to 360°W. Both direct thermal infrared temperature measurements and the implied color temperatures for quenched liquid sulfur suggest that hot spot temperatures of ～650°K are associated with the large plumes and temperatures <400°K with the small plumes. The typical eruption duration of the small plumes is at least several years; that of the large plumes appears to be of the order of days to weeks. The two classes therefore differ by more than two orders of magnitude in duration of eruption. Based on uv, visible, and infrared spectra, the small plumes seem to contain and deposit SO₂ in their annuli whereas the large plumes apparently do not. Two other plumes that occur at either end of the linear feature Loki may be intermediate or hybrid between the two classes, exhibiting attributes of both. Additionally, Loki occurs in the area of overlap in the regional distributions of the two plume classes. Two distinct volcanic systems involving different volatiles may be responsible for the two classes. We propose that the discrete temperatures associated with the two classes are a direct reflection of sulfur's peculiar variation in viscosity with temperature. Over two temperature ranges (～400 to 430°K and >650°K), sulfur is a low-viscosity fluid (orange and black, respectively); at other temperatures it is either solid or has a high viscosity. As a result, there will be two zones in Io's crust in which liquid sulfur will flow freely: a shallow zone of orange sulfur and a deeper zone of black sulfur. A low-temperature system driven by SO₂ heated to 400 to 400°K by the orange sulfur zone seems the best model for the small plumes; a system driven by sulfur heated to >650°K by hot or even molten silicates in the black sulfur zone seems the best explanation for the large plume class. The large Pele-type plumes are apparently concentrated in a region of the satellite in which a thinner sulfur-rich crust overlies the tidally heated silicate lithosphere, so the black sulfur zone may be fairly shallow in this region. The Prometheus-type plumes are possibly confined to the equatorial belt by some process that concentrates SO₂ fluid in the equatorial crust.  相似文献
