Gull-derived trace elements trigger small-scale contamination in a remote Mediterranean nature reserve     

Geraldina Signa  Antonio MazzolaCecilia Doriana Tramati  Salvatrice Vizzini 《Marine pollution bulletin》2013

The role of a yellow-legged gull (Larus michahellis) small colony in conveying trace elements (As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, THg, V, Zn) was assessed in a Mediterranean nature reserve (Marinello ponds) at various spatial and temporal scales. Trace element concentrations in guano were high and seasonally variable. In contrast, contamination in the ponds was not influenced by season but showed strong spatial variability among ponds, according to the different guano input. Biogenic enrichment factor B confirmed the role of gulls in the release of trace elements through guano subsidies. In addition, comparing trace element pond concentrations to the US NOAA’s SQGs, As, Cu and Ni showed contamination levels associated with possible negative biological effects. Thus, this study reflects the need to take seabirds into account as key factors influencing ecological processes and contamination levels even in remote areas, especially around the Mediterranean, where these birds are abundant but overlooked.  相似文献   

Analyzing Effects of Shrub Canopy on Throughfall and Phreatic Water Using Water Isotopes,Western China   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

Alpine shrub Quercus aquifolioides was selected to study the effects of shrub canopy on throughfall and phreatic water by analyzing the isotopic time series of precipitation, canopy throughfall and phreatic water and examining correlations among these series in Wolong Nature Reserve, Western China. Based on analysis of precipitation data in 2003, the local meteoric water line during the rainy season was δD = 8.28 × δ¹⁸O + 8.93, and the primary precipitation moisture in this region originated from the Pacific Ocean in the summer. Stable isotope analysis showed that the main supply of throughfall and phreatic water was from precipitation, and the shrub canopy has an important effect on the processes of rainwater transmuted into throughfall and phreatic water. Moreover, the differences of δD and δ¹⁸O values between rainwater and throughfall were relevant to rainfall. Due to interception of the shrub canopy, there had a response hysteresis of phreatic water to the various rainfall events, which was mostly 2 days, except that this hysteresis was ≤1 day when rainfall was >15 mm/day.  相似文献

Groundwater in front of warm‐based glaciers is likely to become a more integrated part of the future proglacial hydrological system at high latitudes due to global warming. Here, we present the first monitoring results of shallow groundwater chemistry and geochemical fingerprinting of glacier meltwater in front of a warm‐based glacier in Southeast Greenland (Mittivakkat Gletscher, 65° 41′ N, 37° 48′ W). The groundwater temperature, electrical conductivity and pressure head were monitored from August 2009 to August 2011, and water samples were collected in 2009 and analyzed for major ions and water isotopes (δD, δ¹⁸O). The 2 yrs of monitoring revealed that major outbursts of glacier water during the ablation season flushed the proglacial aquifer and determined the groundwater quality for the next 2–8 weeks until stable chemical conditions were reached again. Water isotope composition shows that isotopic fractionation occurs in both groundwater and glacier meltwater, but fractionation due to evaporation from near‐surface soil moisture prior to infiltration has the most significant effect. This study shows that groundwater in Low Arctic Greenland is likely to possess a combined geochemical and isotopic composition, which is distinguishable from other water sources in the proglacial environment. However, the shallow groundwater composition at a given time is highly dependent on major outbursts of glacier water in the previous months.  相似文献

为探讨贵州黑色岩系多金属矿层的成因和成矿物质来源,文章对镇远江所出露的黑色岩系多金属层铅同位素进行了测试。结果表明,黑色岩系多金属矿石铅来源于壳源混合铅,且具有富铀铅贫钍铅的特点,下寒武统牛蹄塘组的下伏灯影组富铀铅而贫钍铅的化学沉积物可能提供了较多的成矿物质。成矿物质主要来源于地壳,具有地幔铅混染的特点,是岩浆作用,化学沉积作用,海底热水作用共同参与的结果。黑色岩系多金属矿层的形成是多种成矿作用过程叠加的结果,具有多来源,多期次的成矿特点。  相似文献

野外观测表明,中扬子地区沉湖土地堂复向斜京山县城附近野外露头中二叠系和三叠系方解石脉主要是沿节理缝发育,脉体宽度较小。方解石脉的镜下微观的结晶特征、阴极发光特征、脉体穿插关系可以判断二叠系脉体大约有两期,三叠系脉体大约有三期。碳氧同位素值表明,三叠系方解石脉和围岩的氧同位素差值不大(Δδ18 O的差异范围为-0.19‰～4.12‰,平均值为1.9‰),二叠系方解石脉和围岩氧同位素差异较大(Δδ18 O的差异范围为4.07‰～12.03‰,平均值为7.3‰),三叠系脉体的流体直接来源于围岩,二叠系裂隙中方解石脉的形成过程中可能主要受到有机质的影响。方解石脉体中的流体包裹体均一温度在研究区建立的代表性虚拟井的埋藏史和热史基础上,推测二叠系方解石脉形成深度为3 000m～3 700m,形成深度约为2 000m～3 000m,两套地层中的方解石脉的形成时期为J3—K1燕山构造运动期。中扬子地区在多旋回的沉降和沉积过程中形成的上组合的区域性盖层(中三叠统—下侏罗统的泥质岩)在江汉平原区具有较好的封盖性。  相似文献
