Fauna species living in seagrass meadows depend on different food sources, with seagrasses often being marginally important for higher trophic levels. To determine the food web of a mixed-species tropical seagrass meadow in Sulawesi, Indonesia, we analyzed the stable isotope (δ¹³C and δ¹⁵N) signatures of primary producers, particulate organic matter (POM) and fauna species. In addition invertebrates, both infauna and macrobenthic, and fish densities were examined to identify the important species in the meadow. The aims of this study were to identify the main food sources of fauna species by comparing isotopic signatures of different primary producers and fauna, and to estimate qualitatively the importance of seagrass material in the food web. Phytoplankton and water column POM were the most depleted primary food sources for δ¹³C (range −23.1 to −19.6‰), but no fauna species depended only on these sources for carbon. Epiphytes and Sargassum sp. had intermediate δ¹³C values (−14.2 to −11.9‰). Sea urchins, gastropods and certain fish species were the main species assimilating this material. Seagrasses and sedimentary POM had the least depleted values (−11.5 to −5.7‰). Between the five seagrass species significant differences in δ¹³C were measured. The small species Halophila ovalis and Halodule uninervis were most depleted, the largest species Enhalus acoroides was least depleted, while Thalassia hemprichii and Cymodocea rotundata had intermediate values. Fourteen fauna species, accounting for 10% of the total fauna density, were shown to assimilate predominantly (>50%) seagrass material, either directly or indirectly by feeding on seagrass consumers. These species ranged from amphipods up to the benthic top predator Taeniura lymma. Besides these species, about half of the 55 fauna species analyzed had δ¹³C values higher than the least depleted non-seagrass source, indicating they depended at least partly for their food on seagrass material. This study shows that seagrass material is consumed by a large number of fauna species and is important for a large portion of the food web in tropical seagrass meadows.  相似文献

Floodfan sedimentation and gravitational anomalies in the Salar de Punta Negra,Northern Chile     

Ronald A. van Overmeeren  Johan H. Staal 《International Journal of Earth Sciences》1976,65(1):195-211

The Upper Tertiary inter-andean tectonic trough of the Salar de Punta Negra is being filled mainly through sporadic flash-floods by denudation products from the East (Andes). Borehole records up to 430 m deep suggest depositional conditions similar to the actual ones.Block tectonic movements with N-S and NNE-SSW directions from Upper Tertiary through Pleistocene affected the normal morphology of the fans.Gravity survey has corfirmed a tectonic origin of the basin. East of the Salar, a buried graben with an alluvial fill of 550–750 m thickness was found, which may contain a groundwater reservoir.

Zusammenfassung Der jungtertiäre intra-andine Graben des Salars Punta Negra wurde durch sporadische Flutfächer vorwiegend aus dem Osten (Hochkordillere) gefüllt. Bohrungen bis 430 m Tiefe zeigen ähnliche Fanglomerate, wie sie heute entstehen.Verwerfungen mit N-S- und NNE-SSW-Richtungen zwischen Jungtertiär und Pleistozän beeinflussen die Morphologie der Schuttfächer.Gravimetrische Messungen ergaben, daß die Depression tektonisch angelegt ist. Östlich des heutigen Salars liegt ein verschütteter Graben mit einer alluvialen Füllung von mindestens 550–750 m Dicke. Hier könnte ein Grundwasser-Reservoir liegen.

Resumen El graben intra-andino del Salar de Punta Negra de edad Terciario Superior ha sido esporádicamente rellenado por conos aluviales. Estos vienen principalmente del este desde la Alta Cordillera. Perforaciones que han llegado hasta 430 m de profundidad muestran fanglomerados semejantes a los que se forman actualmente.Una tectónica de bloques de dirección N-S y NNE-SSW entre el Terciario Superior y el Pleistoceno afectan la morfología de los conos aluviales.Mediciones gravimétricas permiten concluir que la depresión tiene origen tectónico. Al oriente del Salar aparece un graben relleno de materiales aluviales con una potencia entre 550–750 m. Este graben puede contener acuíferos profundos de utilidad local.

Résumé Le graben intra-andin Cénozoïque Supérieur du Salar de Punta Negra se comble par des courants torrentueux sporadiques de produits de dénudation venant surtout de l'Est (Haute Cordillère). Des forages atteignant 430 m de profondeur suggèrent des conditions de dépôt similaires aux actuelles.Des failles N-S et NNE-SSW actives depuis le Cénozoïque Supérieur jusqu'au Pléistocène ont affecté la morphologie des cônes de déjection.Les mesures gravimétriques confirment l'origine tectonique du bassin de Punta Negra. A l'Est du Salar est situé un graben totalement enfoui de dépôts alluviaux d'une puissance d'environ 550–750 m, où des nappes aquifères exploitables sont susceptibles d'exister à grande profondeur.

Paleomagnetism in deep-sea core A179-15     

Nils-Axel Mörner  Johan Lanser 《Earth and Planetary Science Letters》1975,26(1):121-124

Core A179-15 from the southern North Atlantic exhibits one of the best paleoclimatic records for the last 25,000 years. This is because it is a high-sedimentation rate core and because it has been analysed at 1 cm intervals by Ericson and Wollin. The core has been used by Mörner for global climatic correlations. The magnetic measurements show a fairly drastic declination excursion at 12,350 B.P., i.e. exactly at the same age as the end of the Gothenburg Magnetic “Flip”. Therefore, the declination excursion in core A179-15 probably represents the end of the Gothenburg Magnetic “Flip” and Excursion. The excursion and a lithologic boundary verify the chronology earlier applied by Mörner.  相似文献

Siltation by sediment-induced density currents     

Johan C.?WinterwerpEmail author  Thijis?van Kessel 《Ocean Dynamics》2003,53(3):186-196

This paper describes the results of numerical experiments with a three-dimensional hydrodynamic and mud transport model in which sediment–fluid interaction is taken into account through the effects of hindered settling, buoyancy destruction in the turbulence k– model and sediment-induced barocline pressure gradients in the momentum equations. The model was applied to a schematic case representing a coastal area with a tidal river, navigation channel and harbour basin, and a real-world case, viz. Rotterdam harbour area in The Netherlands. The results show that the sediment transport into the harbour area, and subsequent siltation rates, increase by a factor 3 to 5 due to the sediment–fluid interaction. It is shown that the larger contribution stems from an increase in vertical gradients in suspended sediment.Responsible Editor: Jens Kappenberg  相似文献   

Circular moraine features on the Varanger Peninsula, northern Norway, and their possible relation to polythermal ice sheet coverage     

Karin Ebert  Johan Kleman 《Geomorphology》2004,62(3-4):159-168

This paper introduces a new hypothesis about the formation of circular moraine features (CMFs) on felsenmeer-covered plateaux of the Varanger Peninsula, northern Norway. CMFs and glacial lineations in the northwestern part of the Varanger Peninsula were mapped from aerial photographs. In two CMF-rich areas, Base œrro-Plateau and Båtsfjordfjellet, the CMFs were investigated during fieldwork. The aim was to investigate possible entrainment, transport and deposition mechanisms of the CMFs in connection to ice sheet properties.The CMFs were deposited in connection with a polythermal ice cover. During glaciations, the ice sheet was cold-based on the boulder field plateaux and warm-based in valleys, especially in ice drainage pathways towards fjords. The CMF material was probably entrained en masse, on the Varanger Peninsula, in transition zones between warm- and cold-based ice. The debris transport took place close to the ice base. During deglaciation, the debris formed dirt cones, slowing down the melting of underlying dead-ice blocks. As material slid down the margins of the cones, the typical CMF shape was formed.  相似文献
