Lake Mattamuskeet, North Carolina, USA is a large (162 km²) and shallow (mean depth = 1 m) coastal lake, which was significantly modified to support agricultural activities following European settlement in 1850. Paleolimnological proxies measured on a 400-cm sediment core collected from Lake Mattamuskeet reveal shifts in organic matter input and primary producer community structure in response to climatic and human impacts on the lake during the late Holocene. Stratigraphic changes in organic matter content, nutrients, metals, lignin phenols and photosynthetic pigments were used to divide the sediment core into three intervals. Interval I includes sediment deposited between A.D. 360–1584 and indicates a clear-water, sand-bottom state with low algal abundance. In addition, the lake catchment area experienced two significant fires during this interval that were recorded as charcoal layers in the core around A.D. 360 and A.D. 1435 (calibrated ¹⁴C AMS dates). Trophic structure changed with the onset of Interval II (A.D. 1584–1860) when total algal abundance increased, and the primary producer community was comprised primarily of diatoms, chrysophytes, cryptophytes and cyanobacteria. During this interval there was also an increase in terrestrial organic material input into the lake as well as a shift in plant type from woody gymnosperms to non-woody angiosperms as determined from lignin data. Sediment deposited in Lake Mattamuskeet following European settlement (Interval III, A.D. 1860-present) suggests a dramatic increase in organic-matter deposition, metals, primary-producer abundance and the onset of cyanobacterial dominance. Sedimentary evidence indicates that shallow-water primary producers can respond rapidly to climate change and human development.  相似文献   

Benthic recovery during open sea fish farming abatement in Western Mediterranean, Spain   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Sanz-Lázaro C  Marin A 《Marine environmental research》2006,62(5):374-387

Fish farming is an important source of organic matter input in coastal waters, which contributes to eutrophication. In this study, the macrofaunal benthic community was studied after the cessation of fish farming with the aim of improving our understanding of benthic succession and sediment recovery in a marine ecosystem. The results showed that the best environmental variables for assessing organic pollution were acid-volatile sulfides (AVS) and redox potential. Succession and recovery was best explained by macrofaunal analysis based on community composition as well as on trophic groups. The patterns of recovery differed between each impacted station. For this reason, succession could not be accurately predicted due to the unique environmental parameters and the singular community functional structure of each location. The Azti Marine Benthic Index (AMBI) proved its validity for assessing pollution but did not distinguish between successional stages.  相似文献   

Trophic status of the Iranian Caspian Sea based on water quality parameters and phytoplankton diversity

The present study attempted to test the applicability of the trophic index (TRIX) for assessing trophic status along the Iranian coast of the Caspian Sea (CS). In order to increase the sensitivity of the TRIX for this area, we defined the range (lower and upper limits) from data collected between 1994 and 2005 which have been used as a reference. Several biological and chemical water quality parameters were determined and compared with the TRIX in order to describe the water quality status of the area. Comparisons were also made on two temporarily and spatially varied trophic status at the study site. Sampling was carried out at 36 stations during Phase I (1996–1997: before the introduction of an alien species Mnemiopsis leidyi, as a background data) while 24 stations were sampled during Phase II in 2005 (after the introduction of the alien species). A Parallel Study (as supplementary data) from 16 smaller scale sampling at shallower sites was also included in the discussion (1994–2005 on 18 transects). The results show that nutrient concentration (DIN, DIP compounds), oxygen (as absolute %) deviation from saturation (aD%O), chlorophyll a and also the Caspian Sea Trophic Index (TRIXCS) increase significantly after the introduction of an alien species (p<0.01). During Phase I and the Parallel Study, the phytoplankton community was dominated (based on important species index) by Thalassionema nitzschioides, Skeletonema costatum (Chrysophyta) year round but during Phase II, Spirulina laxissma (Cyanophyta) dominated annually and in autumn, coinciding with the minimum Shannon–Weaver diversity and Evenness indices recorded. Several trophic status indices and indicators were applied and an overall analysis suggested that the area has low trophic level during Phase I and high trophic level during Phase II. During the Parallel Study, low trophic level was recorded during the pre-invasion period and high trophic level for the post-invasion period.  相似文献   

GPS气象观测应用的研究进展与展望   总被引：17，自引：2，他引：15

GPS(Global Position System)是美国第二代卫星导航系统。它的出现带来了当今世界上军事、民用导航技术的全面革新,在许多科学研究领域得到了极为重要的应用。同样地,在气象科学研究和业务应用方面也展示了广阔的前景。地基和空基的GPS气象探测已被看成为支持21世纪WMO计划的一种新的全球综合高空观测系统。美国气象学会第78届年会有不少相关研究报告,集中反映了欧美GPS气象应用的开发研究最新进展,可概括为以下3方面:(1)由UCAR(University Corporation for Atmospheric Research)主持的GPS/气象学(GPS/MET)计划已经取得了成功。1995年4月3日发射了一颗低轨卫星(ML-1),利用低轨卫星对GPS卫星进行掩星观测,可以获得5～45km高度范围内高分辨率的温度廓线(误差1～2℃)以及在5km高度以下大气层的温度分布已知的条件下(精确到2℃),确定这一层中水汽压垂直分布。更具吸引力的应用是将大气折射率或射线偏转角这些基本物理量直接同化到高分辨率的全球或中尺度天气预报模式中去,以提高预报的准确性。只要发射8颗低轨卫星,总费用约1亿美元,便可以为天气业务预报？  相似文献   

不同营养水平湖泊浮游植物吸收和比吸收系数变化特征   总被引：5，自引：0，他引：5

利用太湖和博斯腾湖8月份、天目湖6 8月份的采样数据,开展不同营养状态下浮游植物吸收和比吸收系数的变化规律研究,并探讨其影响因素.利用综合营养指数法,太湖8月42个采样点中20个点为重度富营养,标记为太湖TⅠ,22个点为中度富营养,标记为太湖TⅡ,天目湖夏季、博斯腾湖8月的富营养水平分别为轻度富营养和中营养.440 nm处浮游植物吸收系数a_ph(440)按照营养水平从高到低由重度富营养到中营养分别为1.02±0.51、0.69±0.40、0.78±0.24和0.20±0.04 m^-1,相应地675 nm处浮游植物吸收系数a_ph(675)分别为0.59±0.32、0.38±0.23、0.41±0.13和0.08±0.02 m^-1.统计检验显示,重、中度富营养的太湖以及轻度富营养的天目湖浮游植物吸收系数显著高于中营养的博斯腾湖.440 nm处浮游植物比吸收系数a_ph^*(440)分别为0.013±0.006、0.012±0.004、0.038±0.008和0.051±0.013 m²/mg Chl.a.统计检验显示,重度、中度富营养的太湖浮游植物比吸收系数显著小于轻度富营养的天目湖,而天目湖浮游植物比吸收系数又显著小于中营养的博斯腾湖.另由400~700 nm浮游植物的光谱曲线可以明显看出不同营养状态浮游植物吸收系数的变化情况,表现为:重度富营养太湖TⅠ>轻度富营养的天目湖>中度富营养的太湖TⅡ>中营养的博斯腾湖.太湖和天目湖属于富营养化湖泊,浮游植物吸收系数明显高于中营养的博斯腾湖,这充分反映了随营养程度增加,浮游植物吸收逐渐增加.天目湖浮游植物略高于太湖TⅡ是因为太湖非藻类悬浮颗粒物含量高,所以吸收系数偏小.比吸收系数的变化情况与吸收系数的变化情况恰好相反,随着营养程度的增加依次递减.随营养程度增加浮游植物吸收逐渐增加是由于水体营养盐增加促进浮游植物生长,浮游植物生物量逐渐增加所致,而比吸收系数逐渐降低则由于色素包裹效应所致.  相似文献   

层状垂直各向异性介质海洋CSEM发射源及接收站姿态和位置对电磁响应影响研究   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0       下载免费PDF全文

众所周知,电阻率各向异性对海洋可控源电磁(CSEM)响应有显著影响.在模拟和解释海洋可控源电磁资料时,通常假设接收站布放于平稳的海底,发射源以理想的水平电偶极源形式按预设路径拖曳前进.然而,在实际海洋作业中,自由下沉的接收站可能沉降在局部倾斜的海底面上,在海底的方位可能是任意取向的.同时,由于洋流等因素的影响,发射源偶极子会发生旋转、倾斜,其位置也会偏离预设的拖曳路径,所以发射源和接收站姿态的变化都将对电磁资料产生影响.本文计算了电阻率各向异性介质中,发射源任意姿态任意位置激发、接收站任意姿态任意位置接收的海洋CSEM响应,分析观测系统引起数据误差的机制,分别在电阻率各向同性、围岩电阻率各向异性和高阻储层电阻率各向异性三种模型中,讨论发射源和接收站的姿态及位置变化对响应的影响.计算结果表明,电磁场振幅误差主要来源于发射源和接收站的倾斜角,而相位的变化为发射源位置和接收站倾斜角、位置共同影响的结果.  相似文献   

Changes in diet and niche breadth of a small fish species in response to the flood pulse in a Neotropical floodplain lake     

《Limnologica》2017

This study tested the hypothesis that the flood pulse affects the diet composition and the niche breadth of Moenkhausia forestii, a small characid fish inhabiting the littoral zone of lakes. To this end, we compared the diet composition (at the population and individual levels) between hydrological periods (high and low water phases) in a floodplain lake of the Upper Paraná River. PERMANOVA revealed differences in the diet between periods (pseudoF_1,38 = 8.5; p < 0.001), with predominant consumption of chironomid larvae and Ephemeroptera (aquatic resources) in the low-water period and an increase in the contribution of terrestrial resources (Hymenoptera, Coleoptera, and Orthoptera) during the high-water period. Based on the PERMDISP results, inter-individual variability in M. forestii diet also differed between periods (F_1,38 = 5.80; p = 0.02), with higher values during the high-water period resulting in a dietary niche expansion. During the low-water period, we observed the dominance of chironomid larvae in the diets of most individuals, resulting in lower inter-individual variability and thus narrower niche breadth. The diet of M. forestii was affected by the flood pulse at both the population and individual levels. The most important difference was found in the origin of food items; during the low-water period, the diet consisted mainly of aquatic resources, and during the high-water period, there was a large contribution of terrestrial resources. This variation is related to the increased availability of allochthonous resources in the high period, when terrestrial areas are flooded by the overflow of the river, thereby increasing the input of resources into the aquatic environment. The increased availability of food resources during this period allowed the expansion of the trophic niche of M. forestii, accompanied by the highest richness (19 items) and the highest evenness of food items. Our findings demonstrated that the flood pulse affected the composition of the M. forestii diet at both the population and individual levels. These results support the importance of the flood pulse, which connects aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, in providing food resources for fish.  相似文献   

Effects of fish and macrophytes on phytoplankton and zooplankton community structure in a subtropical freshwater reservoir     

《Limnologica》2017

Excessive macrophyte biomass and cyanobacterial blooms associated with eutrophication and possibly exotic fish frequently compromise freshwater systems. In this study, 20 large (∼3.2 m³), replicated enclosures were used to investigate the effects of piscivorous Australian bass (Macquaria novemaculeata), planktivorous gambusia (Gambusia holbrooki (Girard)), benthivorous carp (Cyprinus carpio), and macrophyte removal on water quality, as well as trophic interactions within the enclosures. Fish effects on reservoir water quality were carp > gambusia > bass. Cryptomonads spp. (54,083 cells/mL) and Anabaena spp. (47,983 cells/mL) increased significantly (63 and 23 fold, respectively) in carp enclosures, possibly because of physiological adaptation to low light, high turbidity, total phosphorus concentrations (TP) and low TN: TP ratios (N-limitation); a consequence of carp benthic grazing. Carp and gambusia caused an unconventional shift from smaller to medium sized zooplankton (e.g. Boeckella sp., Bosmina meridionalis), possibly a result of copepod nauplius grazing. In the subtropical system studied, fish-induced nutrient recycling appears more important to the outcome of bio-manipulation than grazing impacts. Macrophyte harvesting unexpectedly decreased phytoplankton biomass linked to declines in Euglenophyta and diatoms (Asterionella spp.). Cyanophyta (Oscillatoriales spp./Anabaena spp.) increased in response to macrophyte harvesting and was consistent with findings on European lakes that Cyanophyta abundance tends to be higher in the absence of macrophytes. Results indicate exotic fish removal, nutrient loading control and macrophyte conservation is important in these aquatic systems to maintain high water quality.  相似文献   

The dynamics of Chaoborus americanus in an Adirondack lake following the reintroduction of fish     

《Limnologica》2017

Acid deposition during the 20th century led to the gradual elimination of fish in Brooktrout Lake (Adirondack Mountains, New York State). Thereafter, the lake was colonized by Chaoborus americanus, a dipteran with an aquatic larval stage that typically resides in the pelagic zone in fishless lakes. During subsequent chemical recovery from acidification, the lake was stocked with Brook Trout (Salvelinus fontinalis). For seven years following this reintroduction we examined the re-adaptation of the food chain. The C. americanus abundance and distribution was quantified utilizing a combination of hydroacoustics, traditional vertical net tows and Schindler-Patalas trap collections. Hydroacoustic backscattering signals were repeatable and correlated (r = 0.86, p = 0.003) with C. americanus abundance. Backscattering, depth, month and year were used to develop a random forest model that predicted the C. americanus density (r² = 0.67,  p< 0.05). The hydroacoustic signal revealed a clear but limited diurnal vertical migration of C. americanus. The signal continued in the presence of the fish population beginning with reintroduction in 2005 and extending through 2011. In 2012, the hydroacoustic signal no longer was present in the lake, suggesting that the fish had eliminated the C. americanus population, which was verified with net tows. Using novel and traditional survey methods, we demonstrate that the reintroduction of fish can alter the lake community structure significantly through the extirpation of the major component of the pelagic zone.  相似文献   

Trace element bioaccumulation in reef fish from New Caledonia: Influence of trophic groups and risk assessment for consumers     

《Marine environmental research》2013

Fourteen trace elements (Ag, As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mn, Ni, Pb, Se, V, and Zn) were analyzed in livers and muscles from 22 fish species from the New Caledonia lagoon, which is subjected to important chemical inputs due to intense land-based mining activities (New Caledonia is the third largest world producer of Ni). The results of this baseline research indicated that livers generally concentrated trace elements to a greater extent than muscles. Nevertheless, the overall trace element concentrations in both tissues were barely above the levels reported in fish and thus contamination at the local scale was poorly discriminated. Although these levels were low, preliminary risk assessment from a global health standpoint suggests that As would be an element potentially leading to exposure of concern for fish consumers. Based on the trace element concentrations in livers and the fish trophic preferences, some trends have been observed among trophic groups: Ag, Cu, Fe, Hg, and Zn concentrations were generally higher in liver of fish with the highest trophic position whereas Cd concentrations were lower in these groups. The use of the leopard coral grouper Plectropomus leopardus as a resident top predator allowed determining the geographical variations in contamination levels with significant differences for six out of the fourteen elements investigated. The sampling sites influenced by anthropogenic inputs were revealed by high Ag, Cd, Cu, Hg, and Pb concentrations. Such geographic differences also applied to Zn but surprisingly not for the typical elements associated with Ni mining, i.e., Co, Cr, Mn and Ni.  相似文献
