Invasive smooth cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora, hereafter Spartina) has been expanding rapidly in the estuarine wetlands at Chongming Dongtan (East China) at the expense of native sea-bulrush (Scirpus mariqueter, hereafter Scirpus) and common reed (Phragmites australis, hereafter Phragmites). To examine the potential impacts of the Spartina invasion on bird diversity, we compared the abundance and species richness of birds in habitats created by Spartina, Phragmites, Spartina mixed with Phragmites, Scirpus, and the bare intertidal zone at Chongming Dongtan in spring 2008. Most birds were recorded in the native habitats, with songbirds and breeding birds being most abundant in the Phragmites habitats, and waterbirds and migrants being most abundant in the Scirpus habitats and bare intertidal zone. Both species number and population densities of birds were lower in the exotic Spartina habitats than in the other four habitats. Although some songbirds and breeding birds used the Spartina-invaded habitats, and even preferred Spartina-invaded habitats to Scirpus habitats and bare intertidal zone, their densities were lower in the Spartina-invaded habitats than in the native Phragmites habitats. This might have resulted from the dense Spartina stands restricting bird movement and providing insufficient useable food for most birds. We conclude that the spread of exotic Spartina has negative impacts on local bird communities. Because Chongming Dongtan is an important stopover site for energy replenishment of shorebirds in the East Asian–Australasian Flyway, urgent measures are needed to control further spread of Spartina and to restore the native habitats for birds.  相似文献   

A numerical study on the effects of wave–current–surge interactions on the height and propagation of sea surface waves in Charleston Harbor during Hurricane Hugo 1989     

Huiqing Liu  Lian Xie 《Continental Shelf Research》2009,29(11-12):1454-1463

The effects of wave–current interactions on ocean surface waves induced by Hurricane Hugo in and around the Charleston Harbor and its adjacent coastal waters are examined by using a three-dimensional (3D) wave–current coupled modeling system. The 3D storm surge modeling component of the coupled system is based on the Princeton Ocean Model (POM), the wave modeling component is based on the third generation wave model, Simulating WAves Nearshore (SWAN), and the inundation model is adopted from [Xie, L., Pietrafesa, L. J., Peng, M., 2004. Incorporation of a mass-conserving inundation scheme into a three-dimensional storm surge model. J. Coastal Res., 20, 1209–1223]. The results indicate that the change of water level associated with the storm surge is the primary cause for wave height changes due to wave–surge interaction. Meanwhile, waves propagating on top of surge cause a feedback effect on the surge height by modulating the surface wind stress and bottom stress. This effect is significant in shallow coastal waters, but relatively small in offshore deep waters. The influence of wave–current interaction on wave propagation is relatively insignificant, since waves generally propagate in the direction of the surface currents driven by winds. Wave–current interactions also affect the surface waves as a result of inundation and drying induced by the storm. Waves break as waters retreat in regions of drying, whereas waves are generated in flooded regions where no waves would have occurred without the flood water.  相似文献

钟振  张腾  段炼  李毅  朱化强 《武汉大学学报(信息科学版)》2021,(2)

针对月核大小及密度估计问题,利用高分辨率重力场模型GL1500E的二阶位系数和LLR(lunar laser ranging)天平动参数,考虑月核分层为外核和内核的情况,结合非线性粒子群优化算法,对月核大小和组成进行了估计。大批量的统计结果表明,大概率分布的外核半径rc1约为469 km,内核半径rc2约为303 km,外核密度ρc1约为4613 kg/m3,内核密度ρc2约为7004 kg/m3,月幔密度ρm约为3340 kg/m3。月幔密度非常接近地质研究结果3360 kg/m3,内外核半径与近期其他研究结果相近,估算的月核大小与密度组成具有一定的参考价值。若月核由纯铁和硫化亚铁组成,则研究表明,内核大部分由纯铁组成,外核大部分由硫化亚铁组成。  相似文献   

On Integrated Hard X-Ray Broken-Up Spectra of Solar Flares     

Y. P. Li  W. Q. Gan 《Solar physics》2011,269(1):59-66

The summation of two single power-law spectra with a rather big difference of the spectral indices and with comparable intensities looks like a broken-up spectrum. The spatially integrated hard X-rays contain contributions from different sources, like footpoint and looptop sources. Within the standard scenario of solar flares, the power-law index difference between the footpoints and looptop should be two. Taking the M7.6 flare on 24 October 2003 as an example, we showed that the hard X-ray spectrum itself for footpoints and looptop is a single power-law, but the spatially integrated spectrum presents a broken-up form. It is also shown that the time-integrated spectrum could present a broken-up form, although the spectrum in further refined intervals presents a single power-law. It is concluded that the integrated broken-up spectrum observed here is produced either by the summation of individual sources or by the temporal variation of a single source, not by the acceleration itself.  相似文献

Rainfall effect on wind waves and the turbulence beneath air-sea interface   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

ZHAO Dongliang  MA Xin  LIU Bin  XIE Lian 《海洋学报(英文版)》2013,32(11):10-20

Rainfall effects on wind waves and turbulence are investigated through the laboratory experiments in a large wind-wave tank. It is found that the wind waves are damped as a whole at low wind speeds, but are enhanced at high wind speeds. This dual effect of rain on the wind waves increases with the increase of rain rate, while the influence of rainfall-area length is not observable. At the low wind speed, the corresponding turbulence in terms of the turbulent kinetic energy （TKE） dissipation rate is significantly enhanced by rain- fall as the waves are damped severely. At the high wind speed, the augment of the TKE dissipation rate is suppressed while the wind waves are enhanced simultaneously. In the field, however, rainfall usually hin- ders the development of waves. In order to explain this contradiction of rainfall effect on waves, a possibility about energy transfer from turbulence to waves in case of the spectral peak of waves overlapping the inertial subrange of turbulence is assumed. It can be applied to interpret the damping phenomenon of gas trans- fer velocity in the laboratory experiments, and the variation of the TKE dissipation rates near sea surface compared with the law of wall.  相似文献

香草坪岩体主要岩性为中粗粒斑状黑云母花岗岩,SHRIMP锆石U-Pb法年龄为211±2Ma,属于印支期岩浆作用产物。岩石地球化学特征研究表明,其ACNK,微量元素模式图曲线形态总体向右倾,以及轻稀土富集、Eu明显亏损的稀土配分模式曲线特征,与华南S型花岗岩的地球化学特征相似。该岩体高(87Sr/86Sr)i和低εNd(t)的特点,表明其可能是前寒武系中等成熟度的基底岩石经部分熔融形成的。该区基底岩石较高的铀含量,可为香草坪岩体提供充足的铀元素,形成铀元素的初始富集。  相似文献
