Over the last decades, the reduction of manpower for herd management has led to an increase of continuous grazing systems(CGS) in the Italian Alps, which allow cattle to roam freely. Under CGS, due to high selectivity, livestock exploit grasslands unevenly, over-and under-using specific areas at the same time with negative effects on their conservation. To counteract these effects, a specific policy and management tool(i.e. Grazing Management Plan) has been implemented by Piedmont Region since 2010. The Grazing Management Plans are based on the implementation of rotational grazing systems(RGS), with animal stocking rate adjusted to balance it with grassland carrying capacity. A case study was conducted on alpine summer pastures to test the 5-year effects produced by the implementation of a Grazing Management Plan in grasslands formerly managed under several years of CGS on 1) the selection for different vegetation communities by cattle, 2) the abundance of oligo-, meso-, and eutrophic plant species(defined according to Landolt N indicator value), and 3) forage yield, quality, and palatability. A total of 193 vegetation surveys were carried out in 2011 and repeated in 2016. Cows were tracked yearly with Global Positioning System collars to assess their grazing selectivity, and forage Pastoral Value(PV) was computed to evaluate forage yield, quality, and palatability. Five years after RGS implementation, cow selectivity significantly decreased and the preference for the different vegetation communities was more balanced than under CGS. The abundance of meso-and eutrophic species increased, whereas oligotrophic ones decreased. Moreover, the abundance of moderately to highly palatable plant species increased, whereas non-palatable plant species decreased, with a consequent significant enhancement of the PV. Our findings indicate that the implementation of Grazing Management Plans can be considered a sustainable and effective management tool for improving pasture selection by cattle and forage quality in mountain pastures. 相似文献

Magma mixing is common in the Earth. Understanding the dynamics of the mixing process is necessary for dealing with the likely
consequences of mixing events in the petrogenesis of igneous rocks and the physics of volcanic eruptive triggers. Here, a
new apparatus has been developed in order to perform chaotic mixing experiments in systems of melts with high viscosity contrast.
The apparatus consists of an outer and an inner cylinder, which can be independently rotated at finite strains to generate
chaotic streamlines. The two cylinder axes are offset. Experiments have been performed for ca. 2 h, at 1,400°C under laminar
fluid dynamic conditions (Re ~ 10−7). Two end-member silicate melt compositions were synthesized: (1) a peralkaline haplogranite and (2) a haplobasalt. The viscosity
ratio between these two melts was of the order of 103. Optical analysis of post-experimental samples reveals a complex pattern of mingled filaments forming a scale-invariant (i.e.
fractal) distribution down to the μm-scale, as commonly observed in natural samples. This is due to the development in space
and time of stretching and folding of the two melts. Chemical analysis shows strong non-linear correlations in inter-elemental
plots. The original end-member compositions have nearly entirely disappeared from the filaments. The generation of thin layers
of widely compositionally contrasting interfaces strongly enhances chemical diffusion producing a remarkable modulation of
compositional fields over a short-length scale. Notably, diffusive fractionation generates highly heterogeneous pockets of
melt, in which depletion or enrichment of chemical elements occur, depending on their potential to spread via chemical diffusion
within the magma mixing system. Results presented in this work offer new insights into the complexity of processes expected
to be operating during magma mixing and may have important petrological implications. In particular: (1) it is shown that,
in contrast with current thinking, rheologically contrasting magmas can mix (i.e. with large proportions of felsic magmas
and high viscosity ratios), thus extending significantly the spectrum of geological conditions under which magma mixing processes
can occur efficiently; (2) the mixing process cannot be modeled using the classical linear two-end-member mixing model; and
(3) the chemical compositions on short-length scales represent snapshots within the process of mixing and therefore may not
reflect the final composition of the magmatic system. This study implies that microanalysis on short-length scales may provide
misleading information on the parental composition of magmas. 相似文献

The Ultraviolet Coronagraph Spectrometer on the SOHO satellite covers the 940–1350 Å range as well as the 470–630 Å range in second order. It has detected coronal emission lines of H, N, O, Mg, Al, Si, S, Ar, Ca, Fe, and Ni, particularly in coronal streamers. Resonance scattering of emission lines from the solar disk dominates the intensities of a few lines, but electron collisional excitation produces most of the lines observed. Resonance, intercombination and forbidden lines are seen, and their relative line intensities are diagnostics for the ionization state and elemental abundances of the coronal gas. The elemental composition of the solar corona and solar wind vary, with the abundance of each element related to the ionization potential of its neutral atom (First Ionization Potential–FIP). It is often difficult to obtain absolute abundances, rather than abundances relative to O or Si. In this paper, we study the ionization state of the gas in two coronal streamers, and we determine the absolute abundances of oxygen and other elements in the streamers. The ionization state is close to that of a log T = 6.2 plasma. The abundances vary among, and even within, streamers. The helium abundance is lower than photospheric, and the FIP effect is present. In the core of a quiescent equatorial streamer, oxygen and other high-FIP elements are depleted by an order of magnitude compared with photospheric abundances, while they are depleted by only a factor of 3 along the edges of the streamer. The abundances along the edges of the streamer (‘legs’) resemble elemental abundances measured in the slow solar wind, supporting the identification of streamers as the source of that wind component. 相似文献

A technique of interpolation based on a stochastic approach and referred to as ‘kriging’ technique has recently been contributed by the French School. A primary feature of the algorithm is its ability to provide an assessment of the predictive reliability. The accuracy of estimate depends on the evaluation of two stochastic quantities: the variogram γ and the main trend m of the hydrologic event z to be reconstructed.For an effective use of the method a correct understanding of the actual role played by m is required. With some ad hoc examples it is shown that using a polynomial trend with unspecified coefficients as suggested by the general theory may lead to paradoxical results whose behaviour is hard to predict a priori. It turns out that increasing the degree of m may yield an increase of the estimation error where one would expect to obtain the opposite.An alternative formulation is suggested which assumes m to be fully known in advance. Its expression is supposed to be derived from both the general behaviour of z as is recognizable from the available records and some extra-amount of information related to the general physical knowledge of the hydrological context. If this extra-amount of information is missing, the use of a constant trend should be recommended. 相似文献

Tourmaline nodules from Capo Bianco aplite (Elba Island,Italy): an example of diffusion limited aggregation growth in a magmatic system 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
The morphology of tourmaline nodules occurring in the Capo Bianco aplite (Elba Island, Italy) is studied. Outcrop features
indicate that tourmaline nodules are the product of magmatic crystallization, as they are aligned along flow fields developed
within the magmatic hosting mass. Mesoscopic observations indicate that nodule morphologies are very variable, from rounded
to dendritic. Morphometric analyses show that tourmaline nodules are fractals and that fractal dimension quantifies their
degree of irregularity. Numerical simulations of nodule growth are performed by using a Diffusion-Limited Aggregation process.
The presence in natural samples of nodules with different morphologies is explained by considering a chaotic magmatic system
characterized by a complex interplay between growth rate in different dynamical regions, latent heat of crystallization, and
local convection dynamics. It is suggested that higher growth rates correspond to growth of tourmaline nodules in dynamical
regions where the transfer of nutrients is very efficient. In such conditions, the latent heat released by the growing nodule
is high, inducing strong local convection dynamics, destabilizing the nodule interface, and promoting the formation of dendritic
morphologies. On the contrary, the growth of nodules in dynamical regions characterized by weak transfer of nutrients is inhibited
leading to weak local convection dynamics and, consequently, to the formation of rounded morphologies. 相似文献

Past plate motions display a range of variability, including speedups and slowdowns that cannot easily be attributed to changes in mantle related driving forces. One key controlling factor for these variations is the surface topography at convergent margins, as previous modeling shows that the topographic load of large mountain belts consumes a significant amount of the driving forces available for plate tectonics by increasing frictional forces between downgoing and overriding plates. Here we use this insight to pose a new tectonic inverse problem and to infer the growth of mountain belts from a record of past plate convergence. We introduce the automatic differentiation method, which is a technique to produce derivative code free of truncation error by source transformation of the forward model. We apply the method to a publicly available global tectonic thin-shell model and generate a simple derivative code to relate Nazca/South America plate convergence to gross topography of the Andes mountain belt. We test the code in a search algorithm to infer an optimal paleotopography of the Andes 3.2 m.y. ago from the well-known history of Nazca/South America plate convergence. Our modeling results are in excellent agreement with published estimates of Andean paleotopography and support the notion of strong feedback between mountain belt growth and plate convergence. 相似文献

The SOHO Ultraviolet Coronagraph Spectrometer (UVCS/SOHO) is being used to observe the extended solar corona from 1.25 to 10 R⊙ from Sun center. Initial observations of polar coronal holes and equatorial streamers are described. The observations include measurements of spectral line profiles for HI Lα and Lβ, Ovi 1032 Å and 1037 Å, Mgx 625 Å, Fexii 1242 Å and several others. Intensities for Mgx 610 Å, Sixii 499 Å, and 520 Å, Sx 1196 Å, and 22 others have been observed. Preliminary results for derived H0, O5+, Mg9+, and Fe11+ velocity distributions and initial indications of outflow velocities for O5+ are described. In streamers, the H0 velocity distribution along the line of sight (specified by the value at e-1, along the line of sight) decreases from a maximum value of about 180 km s-1 at 2 R⊙ to about 140 km s-1 at 8 R⊙. The value for O5+ increases with height reaching a value of 150 km s-1 at 4.7 R⊙. In polar coronal holes, the O5+ velocity at e-1 is about equal to that of H0 at 1.7 R⊙ and significantly larger at 2.1 R⊙. The O5+ in both streamers and coronal holes were found to have anisotropic velocity distributions with the smaller values in the radial direction. 相似文献

Sulphide-bearing Ca-carbonate, Na-carbonate, Na-hydroxide, Na-chloride and Ca-sulphate waters from Northern Apennines were investigated in order to determine their main chemical and isotopic composition and draw inferences on water-rock interaction. 2H and 18O values suggest an origin mostly meteoric for the analysed waters but a well drilled in Miocenic sediments. The Na-carbonate and the Ca-sulphate waters are the most interesting geochemically. Na-carbonate type, which sometimes reaches extreme composition (Na/Ca up to 228, equivalent ratio), may have been derived through prolonged interaction of Ca-carbonate waters with rocks containing feldspar, montmorillonite and illite under calcite saturation/oversaturation; the high F and pH and the very low PCO
2 agree with prograde dissolution of silicates and lasting water-rock interaction. However, Ca–Na ion exchange, involving clays of marine origin, cannot be excluded in addition. The Ca-sulphate waters, occurring in Messinian gypsum-bearing sediments, are saturated in gypsum and calcite and exhibit very high total H2S (up to 219 mg dm-3) and PCO
2 (up to 0.32 bar). Mass balance of sulphate sulphur, sulphide sulphur and delta34S suggests sulphate – derived from gypsum – as source for H2S; CH4 and organic matter generate the reducing conditions and sulphate reduction is mediated by bacteria. One Na-chloride water from a well in Miocenic sediments has unusual composition, containing about 700 mgdm-3 of potential CaCl2 and having 2H and 18O (-47.5 and -4.9 respectively) which plot far from the meteoric water lines; probably it is derived by mixing of meteoric and formation waters. The Na-hydroxide water, with very high pH (11.2), is generated through protracted interaction of meteoric waters with ultramafites. 相似文献

In an attempt to contribute to studies on global climatic change, 110 years of temperature data for Firenze, Italy, were analysed.
Means and trends of annual and monthly temperatures (minimum, maximum and average) were analysed at three different time scales:
short (20 years), medium (36–38 years) and long (55 years). Comparative changes in extreme events viz. frosts in the first and second parts of the 20th century were also analysed. At short time scales, climatic change was found
in minimum and average temperatures but not in maximum temperatures. At all three time scales, the annual means of minimum,
maximum and average temperatures were significantly warmer in the last part than in the early part of the 20th century. The
monthly mean temperatures showed significant warming of winter months. Over the last four decades, minimum, maximum and average
temperatures had warmed by 0.4, 0.43 and 0.4 ∘C per decade, respectively, and if this trend continues, they will be warmer
by 4 ∘C by the end of the 21st century. The significant decline in days with subzero temperatures and frosts in the last half
of the 20th century, further substantiated the occurrence of climate change at this site. 相似文献
