Increased human activities since discovery of gold in northern California have changed the structure and function of many ecosystems. To reconstruct the changes in watershed environmental conditions, sediment cores were collected from three montane marshes in northern Sierra Nevada, CA. Pollen analysis was conducted, and water content, bulk density, ash, carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, major cations, and lead concentrations of sediments were determined. Cores were dated by the 210Pb method. Pollen analyses showed changes in plant communities in this region due to severe logging in the late-1800s and moderate logging in the 1900s. The local changes were more clearly recorded in small marsh pollen profiles than regional changes. The water milfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum L.) introduction into Tahoe Basin was inferred from the pollen record and ²¹⁰Pb dating. Road construction and maintenance activities were recorded in physical and chemical characteristics, such as increases in sodium, calcium, and magnesium concentrations. Pollen and physical and chemical records also documented the time line of the expansion of dry meadow, and the decrease of pine forest in one of the watersheds. This study showed that sediments in small marshes were especially useful to reconstruct local disturbance by human activities.  相似文献   

An Overview of Dissolved and Suspended Matter Fluxes in the Loire River Basin: Natural and Anthropogenic Inputs   总被引：7，自引：0，他引：7  

Cécile Grosbois  Philippe Négrel  Daniel Grimaud  Christian Fouillac 《Aquatic Geochemistry》2001,7(2):81-105

The spatial and temporal distributions of major elements were investigated in the surface waters and in associated suspended matter at two sites of the upper Loire basin (Orleans and Brehemont) between 1995 and 1998.According to geochemical and isotopic patterns, the dissolved load appears to result from a process of mixing rainwater inputs, weathering processes of carbonate and silicate bedrock, and agricultural and urban inputs. Natural inputs influence 60% of water chemical composition at both sites. Annual dissolved fluxes were estimated to be 1300 10³ t/y at Orleans and 1620 10³ t/y at Brehemont. Major elements are transported mainly in the dissolved fraction. After correcting for atmospheric and anthropogenic inputs, the silicate specific export rate was calculated to be 11 t/y/km² throughout the basin and the carbonate specific export rate to be from 47 t/y/km² at Orleans to 23 t/y/km² at Brehemont.The suspended load appears to result from at least two particle reservoirs: a silicate reservoir and a carbonate reservoir. The silicate reservoir has a detrital origin, mainly during periods of high flow, while the carbonate reservoir has a detrital origin during periods of high flow and an authigenic origin during periods of low flow. Of the total annual flow of suspended matter, this authigenic material represents 16% at Orleans, 25% at Brehemont and 37% in the fluvial part of the estuary. After correcting authigenic inputs, the specific export rate due to mechanical weathering was estimated to be 8 t/y/km² throughout the Loire basin.  相似文献   

Physical mechanisms of man-made influences on the magnetosphere   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  

M. Parrot  Y. Zaslavski 《Surveys in Geophysics》1996,17(1):67-100

Since the discovery of the Luxembourg effect in the 1930s, it is clear that man-made activities can perturb the ionosphere and the magnetosphere. The anthropogenic effects are mainly due to different kinds of waves coming from the Earth's surface. Acoustic-gravity waves are generated by large explosions, spacecraft launches, or flight of supersonic planes. Electromagnetic waves are active in different frequency ranges. Power line harmonic radiation which is radiated in the ELF range by electrical power systems can be observed over industrial areas. At VLF and HF, the ground-based transmitters used for communications or radio-navigation heat the ionosphere and change the natural parameters. A large variety of phenomena is observed: wave-particle interaction, precipitation of radiation belt electrons, parametric coupling of EM whistler waves, triggered emissions, frequency shift, and whistler spectrum broadening. This paper will review the different physical mechanisms which are relevant to such perturbations. The possibility of direct chemical pollution in the ionosphere due to gas releases is also discussed.  相似文献

宏观地震忽略吸收确定震源深度问题的通解及其精确度     

段星北 《地震研究》1992,15(3):271-282

分析G-R-闵公式后得出,它是从点源幅射场导出的,与地震宏观场不相应。因在近场震源不能视作点源。在分析过程中,导出相当于点源、线源或面源以及复杂源的幅射场的深度公式。对实际的地震,它的源类型一无所知,所以不预作假定,将源指标几何扩散率n作为待定参数,导出了一个物理意义明确而又普遍化的震源深度公式。此公式的诸解法中,以计算方法准确、精度高,作图法有直观的优点,但准确性差、精度低,图算法只作获取粗略值和考察数据均匀性用。计算了9个8级以上巨震、1个71/2大震,和两个M_L=3的有感地震的震源深度,经对比结果很好,利用计算得出震源类型,结合宏观场研究了这些地震的震源几何学。并且首次在国际上给出宏观地震震源深度值的标准误差。  相似文献

One more explanation of superluminal motion     

V. Krishan 《Journal of Astrophysics and Astronomy》1988,9(4):231-236

The occurrence of superluminal motion in extragalactic radio sources is believed to be quite common. Among others, the geometrical scattering of radio radiation can also cause superluminal expansion and or motion and halo formation, In this paper, the effectiveness of the stimulated Raman scattering in producing these features is investigated. The scattering medium is a plasma whose position, density and temperature decide the rate and angle of scattering. When the radiation from a stationary and constant source gets scattered from a stationary plasma, a halo is formed around the source. However, the scattering of a rotating radiation beam does produce superluminal motion of the virtual source. It is found that the plasma should have the characteristics of the emission-line regions and the intercloud medium in order to Raman scatter the radiation. Since the scattering is polarization dependent, it is possible to estimate the rotation of the electric vector along the direction of the apparent motion of a radio source.  相似文献   

新疆阿尔泰南缘泥盆纪多金属成矿带Sr-Nd-Pb同位素地球化学与构造背景探讨   总被引：17，自引：6，他引：17  

万博  张连昌 《岩石学报》2006,22(1):145-152

新疆阿尔泰南缘晚古生代火山岩区分布着多个金属成矿带，其中以阿舍勒成矿带和可可塔勒成矿带最为著名，矿床地质研究表明，产于早-中泥盆统的多金属硫化物矿床大多具有VMS型矿床的特征。通过测定部分典型矿床的Sr-Nd-Pb同位素组成，发现从乔夏哈拉至可可塔勒矿区初始锶逐渐升高，由0．704407到0．714485；而εNd（t）由正值变为负值。反映成矿物质来源以幔源为主，过渡到壳源物质的混入逐渐增加。从Pb同位素特征来看，成矿带内的大多数矿床具有火山岛弧区成矿的特征，矿石铅同位素组成显示正常铅，但可可塔勒铅锌矿床矿石铅具有放射性成因铅的加入。结合成矿带内各主要块状硫化物矿床的地质和地球化学特征，本文认为阿舍勒铜锌矿可能产于与俯冲有关的弧内（弧间）盆地环境，可可塔勒铅锌矿、蒙库铁（铜）矿和铁木尔特铜铅锌矿产于弧后盆地环境。而乔夏哈拉铜铁矿Sr—Nd—Pb同位素组成显示其具有MORB特征，这与其“塞浦路斯型”块状硫化物矿床的特征相吻合。  相似文献
