Bearing the burden of boat harbours: heavy contaminant and fouling loads in a native habitat-forming alga     

Johnston EL  Marzinelli EM  Wood CA  Speranza D  Bishop JD 《Marine pollution bulletin》2011,62(10):2137-2144

Boat harbours are an increasingly common form of artificial habitat. This paper presents a comparative study of contaminants and foulers of a habitat-forming native kelp (Saccharina latissima) in four marinas and four reference locations along the south-west coast of the UK. Fouling of algal laminae was light (<2% cover) in reference locations, while epibiota cover ranged from 25% to 80% of laminae in marinas. Metals associated with antifouling paints were up to six times more concentrated in algal tissues from marinas than from the reference locations. Marinas also carried the greatest cover and diversity of non-indigenous epibiota on the kelp laminae. This indicates not only a potential stress to kelps in these environments, but also the possibility that detached laminae will act as vectors for the dispersal of non-indigenous species. The development of boat harbours creates habitats that are high risk source localities for pollution-tolerant fouling organisms.  相似文献   

Testes specific accumulation of tributyltin in turbot Scophthalmus maximus from the southern Baltic Sea     

Gosz E  Horbowy J  Ruczyńska W 《Marine pollution bulletin》2011,62(11):2563-2567

Concentrations of tributyltin (TBT) and its breakdown products, dibutyltin (DBT) and monobutyltin (MTB), were measured in tissues of male turbot Scophthalmus maximus from the Gulf of Gdańsk (GDA) and the Pomeranian Bay (POM) in the southern Baltic Sea. The fish (n = 206) were collected during the spawning seasons of 2008-2009. All specimens were at the same maturity stage and in full breeding condition. The ripe testes of the turbot appeared to be a target tissue for TBT accumulation. We report that TBT is extensively eliminated at the specific whole-body level and that the males from TBT-contaminated location (GDA) reach this specific level at 23-24 cm in total length.  相似文献   

Holocene peatland development along the eastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau     

Hai Xu  Bin Liu  Jianghu Lan  Enguo Sheng  Shuai Che  Sheng Xu 《Quaternary Research》2013

Knowledge of peatland initiation, accumulation, and decline or cessation is critical in understanding peatland development and the related carbon source/sink effect. In this study, we investigated the development of three peat profiles along the eastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau (ETP) and compared the results with those of our previous work along this transect. Our work showed that the initiation over the northern ETP is later and the slowdown/cessation earlier than in the middle to southern ETP. The timing of optimum peatland formation over the northern ETP lags the Holocene climatic optimum. These spatio-temporal differences are likely to be related to the intensity of Asian summer monsoon. Our work suggests that some peatlands along the ETP transect have returned or are now returning their previously captured carbon to the atmosphere and thus act as carbon sources. Some peatlands still have net accumulation at present, but the rates have been reduced concomitant with the decreasing summer monsoon intensity. We speculate that more of the previously stored carbon in the ETP peatlands will be re-emitted to the atmosphere if the aridity continues, as might occur under a continuous global-warming scenario.  相似文献

三塘湖盆地属西部典型的改造型叠合盆地,火山岩油气藏主要分布于石炭系、二叠系火山岩中。本文结合盆地构造演化史与生烃史,分析了三塘湖盆地石炭-二叠纪火山岩油气藏形成的动态过程。火山岩油气藏主要形成于二叠纪末-三叠纪海西印支期和侏罗纪末-白垩纪末期的燕山期,油气藏的形成及后期调整与构造运动密切相关。火山岩油气藏具多期运聚、多期成藏和多期调整改造成藏特征,其成藏模式为以火山岩风化壳为储集层、下覆湖相泥岩为烃源岩,油气在构造背景下,沿不整合面聚集成藏,形成下生上储地层型油藏组合模式。本文结合构造演化史分析三塘湖盆地火山岩油气成藏过程,对西部沉积盆地下组合火山岩油气藏的勘探具有良好借鉴与指导意义。  相似文献   

Influence of mangrove reforestation on heavy metal accumulation and speciation in intertidal sediments     

Yan-wu Zhou 《Marine pollution bulletin》2010,60(8):1319-1324

To investigate the influence of mangrove reforestation on heavy metal accumulation and speciation in intertidal sediments, core sediments from a restored mangrove forest and adjacent mud flat in Yifeng Estuary (southeastern China) were analyzed. The chemical speciation of heavy metals (Pb, Zn, Cu, Cr and Ni) was determined according to a sequential extraction procedure. Special attention was paid to the upper 20 cm of sediment, in which metal accumulation was enhanced and speciation was obviously modified. Mangrove reforestation decreased the concentrations of all metals in the acid-soluble fraction and increased metal concentrations in the oxidizable fraction. Increased Pb, Zn and Cu concentrations and decreased Ni and Cr concentrations were observed in the reducible fraction. These results suggest that mangrove reforestation facilitated the accumulation of heavy metals in the upper sediment layers but decreased their bioavailability and mobility.  相似文献   

Environmental and Health Impacts of Successive Mineral Fertilization in Egypt     

Ahmed A. Abdelhafez  Hassan H. Abbas  Rafat S. Abd‐El‐Aal  Nabil F. Kandil  Jianhua Li  Wahballah Mahmoud 《洁净——土壤、空气、水》2012,40(4):356-363

Excessive amounts of mineral fertilizers are unnecessarily applied to agricultural soils in Egypt to increase crop yield. The current study aims at assessing the impacts of fertilization with different mineral fertilizers for different cultivation periods on the accumulation of heavy metals in soils and plants grown thereon. In addition, human risks resulted due to the exposure to these metal ions through ingestion, and dermal routes were evaluated. Soil and plant samples were collected from several locations in El‐Behira Governorate, Egypt and their heavy metal contents were measured. The result indicated that there is a continuous accumulation of heavy metals in the soils and the plants grown thereon. Calculation of the hazard index (HI) revealed that humans, especially children, have a potential health risk for both Pb and Cd, which have levels greater than the safe level (1). Finally, the obtained results showed that the continuous application of mineral fertilizers containing high levels of heavy metals pose a potential health threat.  相似文献   

Geotechnical characteristics of mississippi delta sediments,southeast Louisiana     

Sterling J. Helwick Jr.  William R. Bryant 《Marine Georesources & Geotechnology》2013,31(2):183-198

An investigation of the geotechnical properties of sediments from 57 boreholes drilled in West Delta and South Pass OSC Lease Areas, offshore Louisiana, indicated that sediment texture, shear strength, water content, and liquid limit vary significantly laterally and with depth. Samples are predominantly soft, fine‐grained sediments with high water content and medium to high plasticity. Firm, coarser‐grained sediments were obtained near the shoreline in South Pass OCS Lease Area and in the northern and eastern parts of West Delta OCS Lease Area. Trends in the distribution of geotechnical properties appear to be influenced by sediment texture and rate of sedimentation.  相似文献   

The off-site implications of deforestation on sedimentation rates and pollution in Abkenar open water (Anzali Lagoon,Caspian Sea) using radionuclide techniques and sediment quality indices

Abkenar open water(AOW)has a 35 km²distribution and is the largest part of the Anzali Lagoon in the southern coastal zone of the Caspian Sea.The effects of deforestation in the upstream basin of the AOW were assessed by measuring the rate of sedimentation,sediment contamination,and ecological risk for aquatic life and end-users using radioisotopes Cesium-137 and Lead-210.The chronology of the AOW sediment column was studied using the Constant Rate of Supply model.Correlations between environmental changes and the sedimentary regime of the study area highlight the contribution of the AOW authorized international and local wood harvesting companies pre-and-post 1950 in the catchment in terms of the rate of sediment supply and the influx of toxic metals.Historical evidence shows that two specific layers formed during World Wars I and II with the mean rates of 0.185±0.04(±STD)and 0.32±0.02 kg/(m²·y),respectively.The highest influx of alkali elements and toxic metals(nickel,cadmium,lead,zinc,and copper)into the basin occurred in 1945.Two layers of gray mud(16-50 cm)and organic-rich dark loss mud(0-16 cm)correlated well with the programmed wood harvesting projects.These layers accumulated from 1953 to 2000 with a mean rate of 0.6±0.2 and 2±0.7 kg/(m²·y).Thus,aquatic life and end-users have been exposed to moderate to extremely high levels of toxic metals and a moderate level of contamination since the 1950s.  相似文献

断裂输导在我国高效和中效聚集的大-中型气田形成中的作用   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1       下载免费PDF全文

付广  王有功  吕延防  付晓飞 《地质科学》2009,44(1):14-25

基于对我国53个大.中型气田生储盖组合类型及天然气运移输导类型的研究,认为生储盖组合类型决定了断裂是我国大一中型气田天然气运移的主要输导通道.通过这53个大,中型气田天然气聚集效率与其输导通道之间关系的剖析,发现被断裂输导的大一中型气田主要为高效和中效聚集的气田.这主要是由于断裂本身具有较强的输导能力,同时其输导时期与源岩大量排气期匹配关系好.利用断裂输导天然气的输导能力综合评价参数对我国44个大-中型气田断裂输导天然气能力进行了研究,提出我国要形成高效和中效聚集的大-中型气田的条件是：断裂输导天然气速度一般应大于0.47×10^-12m/s.  相似文献
