Vertical distribution of bacterial abundance in the northwest pacific ocean

Mixed populations of free-living marine bacteria were collected at depths from the surface to the bottom (1,960m in Suruga Bay and 1,585 m in the Japan Sea) in the northwest Pacific during deep-sea diving by the submersible,Shinkai 2000. Their abundance in total cell counts and in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) concentration was found to decrease with increasing depth, and the decreasing profiles were shown to be linear on logarithmic scales. The total cell counts and the LPS concentration showed a linear relationship on arithmetic scales, and the LPS content per cell was found to be 1.02×10^–14 g.  相似文献

Assessing the ambition of post-2020 climate targets: a comprehensive framework     

Niklas Höhne  Hanna Fekete  Michel G.J. den Elzen  Andries F. Hof  Takeshi Kuramochi 《Climate Policy》2018,18(4):425-441

One of the most fundamental questions surrounding the new Paris Agreement is whether countries’ proposals to reduce GHG emissions after 2020 are equally ambitious, considering differences in circumstances between countries. We review a variety of approaches to assess the ambition of the GHG emission reduction proposals by countries. The approaches are applied illustratively to the mitigation part of the post-2020 climate proposals (nationally determined contributions, or NDCs) by China, the EU, and the US. The analysis reveals several clear trends, even though the results differ per individual assessment approach. We recommend that such a comprehensive ambition assessment framework, employing a large variety of approaches, is used in the future to capture a wide spectrum of perspectives on ambition.

POLICY RELEVANCE

Assessing the ambition of the national climate proposals is particularly important as the Paris Agreement asks for regular reviews of national contributions, keeping in mind that countries raise their ambition over time. Such an assessment will be an important part of the regular global stocktake that will take place every five years, starting with a ‘light’ version in 2018. However, comprehensive methods to assess the proposals are lacking. This article provides such a comprehensive assessment framework.  相似文献   

Mesoscale eddy effects on temporal variability of surface chlorophyll a in the Kuroshio Extension     

Shinya Kouketsu  Hitoshi Kaneko  Takeshi Okunishi  Kosei Sasaoka  Sachihiko Itoh  Ryuichiro Inoue  Hiromichi Ueno 《Journal of Oceanography》2016,72(3):439-451

We investigated the relationship between chlorophyll a (Chl-a) concentrations estimated from satellite observations and the activity of eddies in the Kuroshio Extension region. High (low) area-averaged Chl-a concentrations were frequently observed in the core of cyclonic (anticyclonic) eddies. Such relationships between Chl-a concentrations and eddy cores were not frequently observed in the southern part of the recirculation gyre, and advection of background meridional gradient of Chl-a by eddy-edge currents accounted for Chl-a spatial variability. Decadal-scale changes of Chl-a concentrations around the Kuroshio Extension were strongly affected by eddy activity and transport but not by large-scale near-surface isopycnal heaving. We also found that decadal changes of nutrient concentrations near the main stream could affect Chl-a concentrations in the southern part of the recirculation gyre via southward transport of eddies and mean flow.  相似文献

Land use changes in wetland areas can alter evapotranspiration, a major component of the water balance, which eventually affects the water cycle and ecosystem. This study assessed the effect of introduced rice‐cropping on evapotranspiration in seasonal wetlands of northern Namibia. By using the Bowen ratio–energy balance method, measurements of evapotranspiration were performed over a period of 2.5 years at two wetland sites—a rice field (RF) and a natural vegetation field (NVF)—and at one upland field (UF) devoid of surface water. The mean evapotranspiration rates of RF (1.9 mm daytime^?1) and NVF (1.8 mm daytime^?1) were greater than that in UF (1.0 mm daytime^?1). RF and NVF showed a slight difference in seasonal variations in evapotranspiration rates. During the dry season, RF evapotranspiration was less than the NVF evapotranspiration. The net radiation in RF was less in this period because of the higher albedo of the non‐vegetated surface after rice harvesting. In the early growth period of rice during the wet season, evapotranspiration in RF was higher than that in NVF, which was attributed to a difference in the evaporation efficiency and the transfer coefficient for latent heat that were both affected by leaf area index (LAI). Evapotranspiration sharply negatively responded to an increase in LAI when surface water is present according to sensitivity analysis, probably because a higher LAI over a surface suppresses evaporation. The control of LAI is therefore a key for reducing evaporation and conserving water. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献   

Interannual variation of evapotranspiration in an eastern Siberian larch forest     

Bao‐Lin Xue  Hikaru Komatsu  Ayumi Kotani  Kyoichi Otsuki  Takeshi Ohta 《水文研究》2012,26(15):2360-2368

In a deciduous larch forest in eastern Siberia, the mean and standard deviation of the total evapotranspiration (E) during May to September (day of year (DOY) = 121–274) for 2003–2006 were 181.5 and 26.4 mm, respectively. The interannual variation (IAV) in the total E was caused by the IAV in E for the canopy‐foliated period (DOY = 164–253), not by the IAV in the dates of leaf expansion and leaf fall. For the years with higher total E, E in the canopy‐foliated period was consistently higher, which corresponded to the higher soil water content in these years.

Iron nutritional status of the phytoplankton assemblage in the Okhotsk Sea during summer     

Takeshi Yoshimura  Jun Nishioka  Takeshi Nakatsuka 《Deep Sea Research Part I: Oceanographic Research Papers》2010,57(11):1454-1464

To clarify the iron (Fe) nutritional status of the phytoplankton assemblage in the Okhotsk Sea, we conducted incubation experiments in summer 2006. Replicate surface seawater samples with the natural plankton community were incubated with three treatments: Fe enrichment; addition of the strong Fe chelator siderophore desferriferrioxime B (DFB) which strips Fe from the biologically accessible pool; and as a control, no addition. To prevent macronutrient limitation, we added surplus nutrients to all treatments. At all 4 stations in Sakhalin Bay near the mouth of the Amur River and around the east of Sakhalin Island, net specific growth rate showed no significant difference between the control and +Fe treatment, and was repressed in +DFB treatment both in large- and small-sized phytoplankton. These findings indicate that these waters contain sufficient bioavailable Fe and that the Amur River plume which is transported by the east Sakhalin current is a major source of the Fe. In the Bussol’ Strait, net specific growth rate in the control was significantly higher than +DFB treatment, suggesting a supply of bioavailable Fe through intense vertical mixing at this site. Iron enrichment treatment stimulated the net specific growth rate of large-sized phytoplankton, indicating that Fe still limits the growth for the large-sized phytoplankton assemblage, but not for small-sized phytoplankton, in this area. An index of Fe availability was defined to quantify the degree of ambient Fe availability in each station, and it revealed the spatial variability of ambient Fe availabilities among the sites.  相似文献
