Rainfall interception in a lower montane forest in Ecuador: effects of canopy properties

Rainfall interception in forests is influenced by properties of the canopy that tend to vary over small distances. Our objectives were: (i) to determine the variables needed to model the interception loss of the canopy of a lower montane forest in south Ecuador, i.e. the storage capacity of the leaves S and of the trunks and branches S_t, and the fractions of direct throughfall p and stemflow p_t; (ii) to assess the influence of canopy density and epiphyte coverage of trees on the interception of rainfall and subsequent evaporation losses. The study site was located on the eastern slope of the eastern cordillera in the south Ecuadorian Andes at 1900–2000 m above sea level. We monitored incident rainfall, throughfall, and stemflow between April 1998 and April 2001. In 2001, the leaf area index (LAI), inferred from light transmission, and epiphyte coverage was determined. The mean annual incident rainfall at three gauging stations ranged between 2319 and 2561 mm. The mean annual interception loss at five study transects in the forest varied between 591 and 1321 mm, i.e. between 25 and 52% of the incident rainfall. Mean S was estimated at 1·91 mm for relatively dry weeks with a regression model and at 2·46 mm for all weeks with the analytical Gash model; the respective estimates of mean S_t were 0·04 mm and 0·09 mm, of mean p were 0·42 and 0·63, and of mean p_t were 0·003 and 0·012. The LAI ranged from 5·19 to 9·32. Epiphytes, mostly bryophytes, covered up to 80% of the trunk and branch surfaces. The fraction of direct throughfall p and the LAI correlated significantly with interception loss (Pearson's correlation coefficient r = −0·77 and 0·35 respectively, n = 40). Bryophyte and lichen coverage tended to decrease S_t and vascular epiphytes tended to increase it, although there was no significant correlation between epiphyte coverage and interception loss. Our results demonstrate that canopy density influences interception loss but only explains part of the total variation in interception loss. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献

Moon and Earth : compositional differences inferred from siderophiles,volatiles, and alkalis in basalts     

Rainer Wolf  Edward Anders 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》1980,44(12):2111-2124

We have compared RNAA analyses of 18 trace elements in 25 low-Ti lunar and 10 terrestrial oceanic basalts. According to Ringwood and Kesson, the abundance ratio in basalts for most of these elements approximates the ratio in the two planets.Volatiles (Ag, Bi, Br, Cd, In, Sb, Sn, Tl, Zn) are depleted in lunar basalts by a nearly constant factor of 0.026 ± 0.013, relative to terrestrial basalts. Given the differences in volatility among these elements, this constancy is not consistent with models that derive the Moon's volatiles from partial recondensation of the Earth's mantle or from partial degassing of a captured body. It is consistent with models that derive planetary volatiles from a thin veneer (or a residuum) of C-chondrite material; apparently the Moon received only 2.6% of the Earth's endowment of such material per unit mass.Chalcogens (Se and Te) have virtually constant and identical abundances in lunar and terrestrial basalts, probably reflecting saturation with Fe(S, Se, Te) in the source regions.Siderophiles show diverse trends. Ni is relatively abundant in lunar basalts (4 × 10^?3 × Cl-chondrites), whereas Ir, Re, Ge, Au are depleted to 10^?4?10^?5× Cl. Except for Ir, these elements are consistently enriched in terrestrial basalts: Ni 3 × , Re 370 ×, Ge 330 × , Au 9 × . This difference apparently reflects the presence of nickel-iron phase in the lunar mantle, which sequesters these metals. On Earth, where such metal is absent, these elements partition into the crust to a greater degree. Though no lunar mantle rock is known, an analogue is provided by the siderophile-rich dunite 72417 (~0.1% metal) and the complementary, siderophile-poor troctolite 76535. The implied metal-siderophile distribution coefficients range from 10⁴ to 10⁶, and are consistent with available laboratory data.The evidence does not support the alternative explanation advanced by Ringwood—that Re was volatilized during the Moon's formation, and is an incompatible element (like La or W⁴⁺) in igneous processes. Re is much more depleted than elements of far greater volatility: (Re/U)_Cl～- 4 × 10^?6 vs (T1/U)_Cl = 1.3 × 10^?4, and Re does not correlate with La or other incompatibles.Heavy alkalis (K, Rb, Cs) show increasing depletion with atomic number. Cs/Rb ratios in lunar basalts, eucrites, and shergottites are 0.44, 0.36, and 0.65 × Cl, whereas the value for the bulk Earth is 0.15–0.26. These ratios fall within the range observed in LL and E6 chondrites. supporting the suggestion that the alkali depletion in planets, as in chondrites, was caused by localized remelting of nebular dust (= chondrule formation). Indeed, the small fractionation of K, Rb and Cs, despite their great differences in volatility, suggests that the planets, like the chondrites, formed from a mixture of depleted and undepleted material, not from a single, partially devolatilized material.  相似文献   

Characterization of sediments in an abandoned mining area; a case study of Mansfeld region,Germany   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

The distribution of selected heavy metals, including some radionuclides, metalloids and non-metals was determined in stream sediments in a region influenced by abandoned copper mining and ore processing activities. A considerable amount of the ore processing waste with a very complex composition and highly elevated concentrations of zinc, sulfur, lead, copper, arsenic, and a lot of other elements in the range between 100 and 1,000 mg/kg (Sb, Mn, Ni, Cr, Cd, Hg, and Ag) was piled up on mine dumps. The dispersion of the pollutants originating from this source and their environmental impact were investigated. Both, sediments and original waste material were studied to indicate the pathways and the mobilization behavior of different pollutants. For this purpose, the process of the elution of pollutants by application of different fractionation schemes was studied. The capabilities of different analytical techniques are shown for the analysis of solid samples (X-ray fluorescence spectrometry, Gamma-spectrometry) and liquid ones (ICP-atomic emission spectrometry, ICP-mass spectrometry and different techniques of atomic absorption). Additionally, the coupling of ion chromatography and ICP-MS detection was used to study the distribution of arsenic species in the sediment cores of a lake which acts as a natural sink for the region.  相似文献

The Dabie Shan is located on the eastern side of the Qinling-Dabie orogenic belt, which marks a geological boundary between the Sino-Korean and Yangtze cra- ton. Since the 1980s, the discovery of coesite and mi- crodiamond in the Dabie Shan orogen motivates an extensive interest to the ultra-high pressure (UHP)metamorphism and its exhumation[1,2]. Many results about them were published, which deal with different disciplines, including tectonics, petrology and chro- nology[3?8]. Up to now,…  相似文献   

Immobilization of Ni by Al-modified montmorillonite: A novel uptake mechanism   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

The sorption capacity of montmorillonite clay minerals for small cations, such as Ni²⁺, can be greatly enhanced by modifying the clay mineral with Al(III). In this study, the mechanisms of Ni uptake by Al-modified montmorillonite were studied using extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy of powders and polarized EXAFS spectroscopy of self-supporting clay films to delineate the binding structure of Ni formed as a function of the reaction conditions. Analysis of powder EXAFS spectra of wet pastes, collected from Ni-treated Al-modified montmorillonites reacted at pH 5-8, 25°C or 80°C (to accelerate the reaction process), and reaction times ranging from 1 month to 9 yrs, showed that Ni was surrounded on average by 6 O atoms at a distance of 2.05 Å and 6 Al atoms at 3.01 Å, suggesting the incorporation of Ni into a gibbsite-like structure. Only at pH 8, Ni-containing precipitates were congruently formed. Polarized EXAFS spectroscopy of self-supporting Ni-reacted Al-modified montmorillonite clay films showed a pronounced angular dependency of the spectra of the Ni-doped gibbsite, indicating that the orientation of this Ni-doped gibbsite coincided with the layering of the montmorillonite. Data analysis suggested that Ni is included slightly above and below the vacant octahedral sites of the postulated interstitial gibbsite monolayer. This newly identified mechanism of metal uptake by Al-modified montmorillonite provides a large metal sorption capacity and, because the metal is included in a monolayer gibbsite or gibbsite “islands” formed in the interstitial space of the clay mineral, it potentially leads to a permanent sequestration of the metal from the environment.  相似文献   

Numerical modelling of airborne electromagnetic anomalies originating from low-conductivity 3D bodies1     

Markku Peltoniemi  Rainer Brs  Gregory A. Newman 《Geophysical Prospecting》1996,44(1):55-69

Responses of a multifrequency, multicoil airborne electromagnetic (AEM) system were modelled numerically for 3D electrical conductors embedded in a resistive bedrock and overlain by an overburden of low to moderate conductivity. The results cover a horizontal coplanar coil configuration and two frequencies, 7837 Hz and 51 250 Hz. The models studied are single or multiple, poor conductors (conductance lower than 0.1 S) embedded in a host rock of high but finite resistivity (5000 Ωm) and overlain by a layer of overburden with finite thickness and low to moderate conductivity (conductance up to 2 S). On the basis of the modelling results, limits of detectability for poor conductors have been studied for the various model structures. The results indicate that the anomaly from a steeply dipping, plate-like conductor will decrease significantly when the conductor is embedded in a weakly conductive host rock and is overlain by a conductive overburden. However, an anomaly is obtained, and its magnitude can even increase with increasing overburden conductivity or frequency. The plate anomaly remains practically constant when only the overburden thickness is varied. Changes in overburden conductivity will cause the plate-anomaly values to change markedly. If the plate conductance is less than that of the overburden, a local anomaly opposite in sign to the normal type of anomaly will be recorded. Another major consequence is that conductors interpreted with free-space models will be heavily overestimated in depth or underestimated in conductance, if in reality induction and current channelling in the host rock and overburden make even a slight contribution to the anomalous EM field. The lateral resolution for the horizontal coplanar coil system was found to be about 1.7 times the sensor altitude. Similarly, the lateral extension of a horizontal conductive ribbon, required to reach the semi-infinite (half-space) behaviour, is more than three times the sensor altitude. Finally, screening of a steeply dipping plate, caused by a small, conductive horizontal ribbon, is much more severe than screening of the same plate by an extensive horizontal layer.  相似文献   

Periphyton communities in Amazonian black- and whitewater habitats: Community structure, biomass and productivity     

Rainer Putz 《Aquatic Sciences - Research Across Boundaries》1997,59(1):74-93

Chlorophyll a-concentrations, AFWD (ash-free-dry-weight) and photosynthesis rates were estimated for periphyton assemblages in Amazonian black-and white-water habitats over 14 months. Cellulose-acetate strips were incubated in situ and showed few major differences in periphyton quality as compared to natural substrata. The only exceptions were submersed Igapó forest leaves, which exhibited higher proportions of green algae and cyanobacteria though not producing differences in total periphyton biomass. Enclosure experiments showed a considerable nutrient release by inundated non-senescent Igapó forest leaves. Periphyton biomass and productivity were found to be highest in black-and white water mixing zones, where biomass peaked at 41.6 mg Chla/m² and 19.8 g/m² AFDW. Production was estimated to be 380 gC/m²·a. Maximum biomass of periphyton in floating meadows was 46 mg Chla/m² and 10.6 g/m² AFDW, with an annual production of 170 gC/m²·a. Solimões main channel periphyton values were low: maximum Chla was 7.1 mg/m², AFDW 0.8 g/m² and annual production was estimated to be 30 gC/m². Blackwater periphyton values were lower compared to whitewater and mixed water values but an enlarged trophogenic zone has to be taken into account. Highest Chla content reached 30.9 mg/m², AFDW 1.43 g/m². Estimated annual production was 110 gC/m². Observed mean periphyton productivity of Amazonian blackwater habitats approximately corresponded to mesotrophic attached algae productivity in temperate zones, whereas productivity of whitewater periphyton approached those of temperate eutrophic lakes. The role of periphyton in the Amazon food web is discussed.  相似文献   

O-Sr isotopic variations in Miocene granitoids from the Aegean: evidence for an origin by combined assimilation and fractional crystallization     

Rainer Altherr  Friedhelm Henjes-Kunst  Alan Matthews  Hans Friedrichsen  Bent Tauber Hansen 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》1988,100(4):528-541

Sr, O, and D/H isotopic compositions have been analyzed in Miocene metaluminous to slightly peraluminous (I-type) granitoids of the central Aegean. Individual plutonic complexes display significant variations in their ¹⁸O and initial⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr compositions.D and ¹⁸O compositions of minerals and whole-rocks are mostly in the magmatic range. Some samples from Naxos and Mykonos/Delos show low D and ¹⁸O values characteristic of meteoric-water-hydrothermal interaction, but as a whole the changes in ¹⁸O and Sr isotopic compositions as a result of hydrothermal alteration were slight, even in instances where marked alteration is petrographically observable. Consequently, the bulk-rock variations of ¹⁸O from 8.1 to 12.0 and of⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr from 0.70438 to 0.71450 may be regarded as primary and indicative of the conditions of their evolution. Heterogeneous isotopic compositions observed in the individual plutons of Serifos, Ikaria, Samos and Kos may be caused by the multiple intrusion of chemically and isotopically distinct magma pulses, with high viscosities and relatively rapid consolidation in most cases preventing complete homogenization. The granitoids of Serifos, Ikaria and Kos display weak correlations between the initial⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr and ¹⁸O and 1/Sr. The granitoid province shows a positive correlation between⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr and ¹⁸O and a non-linear relationship between⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr and 1/Sr, whereby 1/Sr increases more rapidly than the isotopic ratio as the degree of fractionation of the rocks increases. It is argued that assimilation of older continental material by mantle-derived arc magmas with combined fractionation (AFC) is the most plausible model to explain the chemical and isotopic characteristics of the granitoids and the geological situation in which rock-types trend from granodiorites in the (south)west, near the inferred Oligocene-Miocene suture, to granites in the center and monzonites in the (north)east of the province.  相似文献
