Background
Unlike in the developed countries, Ethiopia does not have carbon inventories and databank to monitor and enhance carbon sequestration potential of different forests. Only small efforts have been made so far to assess the biomass and soil carbon sequestration at micro-level. This study was carried out to obtain sufficient information about the carbon stock potential of Gerba-Dima forest in south-western Ethiopia. A total of 90 sample plots were laid by employing stratified random sampling. Nested plots were used to collect data of the four carbon pools. For trees with a diameter range of 5 cm < diameter < 20 cm, the carbon stock was assessed from a plot size of 49 m2 (7 m * 7 m). For trees with a diameter range of 20 cm < diameter < 50 cm, the carbon stock was assessed from a plot size of 625 m2 (25 m * 25 m). For trees > 50 cm diameter, an additional larger sample of 35 * 35 m2 was used. Litter, herb and soil data were collected from 1 m2 subplot established at the center of each nested plot. To compute the above ground biomass carbon stock of trees and shrubs with DBH > 5 cm, their DBH and height were measured. The biomass carbon assessment of woody species having DBH < 5 cm, litter and herb were conducted by measuring their fresh weight in the field and dry weight in the laboratory.
ResultsThe mean total carbon stock density of Gerba-Dima forest was found to be 508.9 tons carbon ha−1, out of which 243.8, 45.97, 0.03 and 219.1 tons carbon ha−1 were stored in the above ground biomass, below ground biomass, litter biomass and soil organic carbon, respectively.
ConclusionsThe existence of high carbon stock in the study forest shows the potential of the area for climate change mitigation. Thus, all stakeholders at the local and national level should work together to implement effective conservation measures and get benefit from the biocarbon fund.

The dynamic behaviour of underground structures built by cut‐and‐cover methods is discussed. A simple model analysis shows that a column supporting the overburden at midspan (central column) can resonate upon incidence of an elastic wave of a specific frequency. The analytical results indicate that not only the size and material properties of the column, but also the static load acting on the column (overburden) is a decisive factor that influences the resonant frequency. Based on the results obtained by the analysis, the mechanism of the failure at the Daikai Underground Station in Kobe caused by the 1995 Hyogo‐ken Nanbu, Japan, earthquake is investigated. It is shown that the wave‐induced damage to underground structures can concentrate on the sections with specific overburden, and from the induced damage, it is possible to estimate the frequency characteristics of the associated seismic waves.

Radon (222Rn) measurements were conducted in Shiraho Reef (Okinawa, Japan) to investigate nearshore submarine groundwater discharge (SGDnearshore) dynamics. Estimated average groundwater flux was 2-3 cm/h (maximum 7-8 cm/h). End-member radon concentration and gas transfer coefficient were identified as major factors influencing flux estimation accuracy. For the 7-km long reef, SGDnearshore was 0.39-0.58 m3/s, less than 30% of Todoroki River’s baseflow discharge. SGDnearshore was spatially and temporally variable, reflecting the strong influence of subsurface geology, tidal pumping, groundwater recharge, and hydraulic gradient. SGDnearshore elevated nearshore nitrate concentrations (0.8-2.2 mg/l) to half of Todoroki River’s baseflow -N (2-4 mg/L). This increased nearshore Chl-a from 0.5-2 μg/l compared to the typically low Chl-a (<0.1-0.4 μg/l) in the moat. Diatoms and cyanobacteria concentrations exhibited an increasing trend. However, the percentage contributions of diatoms and cyanobacteria significantly decreased and increased, respectively. SGD may significantly induce the proliferation of cyanobacteria in nearshore reef areas. 相似文献

The present paper deals with the dynamic steady-state force-displacement relationships (complex stiffness) for rectangular rigid foundations resting on a semi-infinite medium, consisting of homogenous, isotropic, linear elastic materials. The foundations are considered to be excited under harmonic vertical and rocking vibration. This gives mixed boundary value problems which cannot be easily solved by analytical approaches. Therefore, a numerical method is proposed here. The method is based on quite, simple equations, and is straightforward in computation, compared with other methods. Although the proposed method gives just approximate solutions, it is satisfactory for engineering practices, and the soluations become highly accurate for a small value of ωB/Vs. The results obtained by the proposed method are compared with those of other methods to evaluate the accuracy of the results. The effects of length/width ratio and the area of the contact plane of the foundations are also discussed. 相似文献

The Raman spectra of carbonaceous material (CM) from 19 metasediment samples collected from six widely separated areas of Southwest Japan and metamorphosed at temperatures from 165 to 655°C show systematic changes with metamorphic temperature that can be classified into four types: low‐grade CM (c. 150–280°C), medium‐grade CM (c. 280–400°C), high‐grade CM (c. 400–650°C), and well‐crystallized graphite (> c. 650°C). The Raman spectra of low‐grade CM exhibit features typical of amorphous carbon, in which several disordered bands (D‐band) appear in the first‐order region. In the Raman spectra of medium‐grade CM, the graphite band (G‐band) can be recognized and several abrupt changes occur in the trends for several band parameters. The observed changes indicate that CM starts to transform from amorphous carbon to crystallized graphite at around 280°C, and this transformation continues until 400°C. The G‐band becomes the most prominent peak at high‐grade CM suggesting that the CM structure is close to that of well‐crystallized graphite. In the highest temperature sample of 655°C, the Raman spectra of CM show a strong G‐band with almost no recognizable D‐band, implying the CM grain is well‐crystallized graphite. In the Raman spectra of low‐ to medium‐grade CM, comparisons of several band parameters with the known metamorphic temperature show inverse correlations between metamorphic temperature and the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the D1‐ and D2‐bands. These correlations are calibrated as new Raman CM geothermometers, applicable in the range of c. 150–400°C. Details of the methodology for peak decomposition of Raman spectra from the low to medium temperature range are also discussed with the aim of establishing a robust and user‐friendly geothermometer. 相似文献

We have determined the dominant global modes of stellar discs by integrating the linearized collisionless Boltzmann equation. The models examined are the Kuzmin discs with two types of the distribution function. It is found that the growth rate correlates well with the central value ofQ.Paper presented at the IAU Third Asian-Pacific Regional Meeting, held in Kyoto, Japan, between 30 September–6 October, 1984. 相似文献

The dense recordings of the K-NET and KiK-net nationwide strong motion network of 1,189 accelerometers show clearly the radiation
and propagation properties of the strong ground motions associated with the 2011 off-the-Pacific Coast-of-Tohoku, Japan (Mw = 9.0)
earthquake. The snapshots of seismic wave propagation reveal strong ground motions from this earthquake that originate from
three large slips; the first two slips occurred over the plate interface of off-Miyagi at the southwest and the east of the
hypocenter, and the third one just beneath the northern end of Ibaraki over the plate interface or in the crust. Such multiple
shocks of this event caused large accelerations (maximum 1–2 G) and prolonged ground shaking lasting several minutes with
dominant high-frequency (T < 1 s) signals over the entire area of northern Japan. On the other hand, ground motions of relatively longer–period band
(T = 1–2 s), which caused significant damage to wooden-frame houses, were about 1/2–1/3 of those observed near the source area
of the destructive 1995 Kobe, Japan (M = 7.3) earthquake. Also, the long-period (T = 6–8 s) ground motion in the Kanto (Tokyo) sedimentary basin was at an almost comparable level of those observed during
the recent Mw = 7 inland earthquakes, but not as large as that from the former M = 8 earthquakes. Therefore, the impact of
the strong ground motion from the present M = 9 earthquake was not as large as expected from the previously M = 7–8 earthquakes
and caused strong motion damage only to short-scale construction and according to instruments inside the buildings, both have
a shorter (T < 1 s) natural period. 相似文献

Ultrahigh-temperature metamorphism in the Achankovil Zone: Implications for the correlation of crustal blocks in southern India 总被引：1，自引：3，他引：1
The Achankovil Zone of southern India, a NW–SE trending lineament of 8–10 km in width and > 100 km length, is a kinematically debated crustal feature, considered to mark the boundary between the Madurai Granulite Block in the north and the Trivandrum Granulite Block in the south. Both these crustal blocks show evidence for ultrahigh-temperature metamorphism during the Pan-African orogeny, although the exhumation styles are markedly different. The Achankovil Zone is characterized by discontinuous strands of cordierite-bearing gneiss with an assemblage of cordierite + garnet + quartz + plagioclase + spinel + ilmenite + magnetite ± orthopyroxene ± biotite ± K-feldspar ± sillimanite. The lithology preserves several peak and post-peak metamorphic assemblages including: (1) orthopyroxene + garnet, (2) perthite and/or anti-perthite, (3) cordierite ± orthopyroxene corona around garnet, and (4) cordierite + quartz symplectite after garnet. We estimate the peak metamorphic conditions of these rocks using orthopyroxene-bearing geothermobarometers and feldspar solvus which yield 8.5–9.5 kbar and 940–1040 °C, the highest P–T conditions so far recorded from the Achankovil Zone. The retrograde conditions were obtained from cordierite-bearing geothermobarometers at 3.5–4.5 kbar and 720 ± 60 °C. From orthopyroxene chemistry, we record a multistage exhumation history for these rocks, which is closely comparable with those reported in recent studies from the Madurai Granulite Block, but different from those documented from the Trivandrum Granulite Block. An evaluation of the petrologic and geochronologic data, together with the nature of exhumation paths leads us to propose that the Achankovil Zone is probably the southern flank of the Madurai Granulite Block, and not a unit of the Trivandrum Granulite Block as presently believed. Post-tectonic alkali granites that form an array of “suturing plutons” along the margin of the Madurai Granulite Block and within the Achankovil Zone, but are absent in the Trivandrum Granulite Block, suggest that the boundary between the Madurai Granulite Block and the Trivandrum Granulite Block might lie along the Tenmalai shear zone at the southern extremity of the Achankovil Zone. 相似文献

The 1978 Miyagi-ken-oki earthquake generated crack openings in fill slopes in Sendai, Japan. Although the slopes were reinforced with steel pipe piles after this event, tensile cracking was induced again in the same slopes by the 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku earthquake. This clearly indicates conventional countermeasures against dynamic slope failures, usually based on body wave interaction with slopes, are not always effective. Considering that similar open cracks in the top surfaces of slopes were also found in New Zealand and California, we may need to clarify the generation mechanism of such cracks with some new insights. Recently, it has been indicated that the effect of Rayleigh surface wave propagation on dynamic slope stability may become significant. In this contribution, therefore, by performing two-dimensional elastodynamic analyses of Rayleigh/body wave interaction with a geometrically simple model slope, we show Rayleigh waves may play a more dominant role than body waves in generating the open cracks, and emphasise the importance of taking into account the dynamic slope failures induced by Rayleigh waves. Surface waves may be produced also by nearby blasting, etc., and therefore, the results obtained here may be of crucial importance in comprehending the dynamic stability of slopes in general. 相似文献

Modeling strategy for jointed rock masses reinforced by rock bolts in tunneling practice 总被引：2，自引：1，他引：1
Shunsuke Sakurai 《Acta Geotechnica》2010,5(2):121-126
This paper deals with the modeling of jointed rock masses reinforced by rock bolts. It is well known that rock bolts are extremely
effective in reinforcing jointed rocks. However, if a continuum approach is adopted for modeling jointed rock masses, it is
often misleading to evaluate the effectiveness of the rock bolts by numerical analyses such as the finite element method.
This may be due to the fact that since no more joints exist in the continuum, the effectiveness of the rock bolts in constraining
the relative displacements along the joints cannot be evaluated properly. In order to investigate the reinforcement effect
of rock bolts, physical model tests were performed in the laboratory. The test results revealed that jointed rock masses should
be modeled as an equivalent continuum after the installation of rock bolts and that the mechanical parameters of the equivalent
continuum should be evaluated by considering the reinforcement effect of the rock bolts. Therefore, the values of the mechanical
parameters differ from place to place in accordance with the relation between joint orientation and rock bolt direction, even
though joint systems are homogeneous. In conclusion, in the continuum approach for modeling jointed rock masses, it should
be emphasized that rock bolts and jointed rock masses should not be modeled separately but should be modeled simultaneously
by considering the reinforcement effect of the rock bolts in constraining joint movement. The modeling of shotcrete reinforced
by steel ribs is also discussed in comparison to the modeling by rock bolts. 相似文献
