Microform bed clusters as refugia for periphyton in a flood‐prone headwater stream     

S. N. Francoeur  B. J. F. Biggs  R. L. Lowe 《新西兰海洋与淡水研究杂志》2013,47(3):363-374

Flood effects on benthic algal communities grown upon three common substratum types were assessed in a gravel‐bed stream. Microform bed clusters (MBCs) and, to a lesser extent, boulders conferred resistance on their associated periphyton communities (i.e., reduced flood‐induced biomass loss; functioned as refugia) relative to cobble/gravel substrata. On all substrata, flooding significantly reduced the relative abundance of Diatoma hiemale, and increased the relative abundance of Gomphonema minutum f. syriacum and/or Ampithrix sp. Long‐term (>4 months) sampling indicated that MBCs generally supported more algal biomass than did boulders, which, in turn, supported greater biomass than cobbles/gravels. Manipulation of the abundance of refugial structures (e.g., MBCs) could possibly alter productivity of flood‐prone gravel‐bed streams. Stream periphyton biomass models may be improved by explicit consideration of the effects of refugial substrata. The interstitial spaces of MBCs may constitute a unique habitat, and deserve further study.  相似文献

Morphology and sedimentation in lake Wakatipu,New Zealand     

J. W. Brodie  J. Irwin 《新西兰海洋与淡水研究杂志》2013,47(4):479-496

Lake Wakatipu occupies an overdeepened glacial trough dammed by former terminal moraine. The steep subaerial slopes above the lake continue steeply below the surface of the water to a plane floor that is horizontal in the central and most of the southern sections and slopes longitudinally in the northern section. Below the general level of the sediment surface, a system of current channels has been developed, extending from the delta of the Dart and Rees Rivers to the flat‐floored sedimentary basin in the central and southern section. Active deposition of sediment from density currents is taking place; the action of such currents is discussed.  相似文献   

稀有OTU对海洋底栖纤毛虫群落异质性的影响研究     

张越  赵峰  孙梦岩  李玉全  徐奎栋 《海洋科学》2022,46(12):20-30

运用高通量测序技术分析微型生物多样性时,生物学重复间常表现出明显的异质性,这可能是高比例的稀有可操作分类单元(operated taxonomic unit, OTU)造成的“假象”。为明晰陆架海区站位间及同一站位重复间底栖纤毛虫群落的异质性水平,并探明稀有OTU与群落异质性的关系,给出去除稀有OTU阈值的科学建议。本研究在东海选取具有明显环境梯度的4个站位,每站位采集3个重复沉积物,采用高通量测序技术研究纤毛虫群落与分布。研究表明同一站位重复间群落不相似度在30%～34%,重复间群落的高差异性会掩盖地理距离较近的站位间差异(33%)。各个站位重复间共有OTU分别占该站位检获的总OTU数的34.4%, 31.9%, 39.5%和36.5%,而序列数基本占据94%以上。相对丰度小于0.1%的OTU占总OTU数的80%。依次去除相对丰度低于0.01%至0.1%的OTU,发现去除稀有OTU能够有效降低重复间差异,去除越稀有的OTU,降低效果越强;对站位之间的差异影响较小,且站位差异越大影响越小。稀有OTU的分布随机性极强,基本与站位无关。相对丰度低于0.015%的OTU是造成重复间群落异质性...  相似文献   

Identification of Atlantic water inflow on the north Svalbard shelf during the Holocene     

Marion Peral  William E. N. Austin  Riko Noormets 《第四纪科学杂志》2022,37(1):86-99

Nordaustlandet is located in the northeastern part of the Svalbard archipelago, within the northernmost reach of the West Spitsbergen Current. This current transports Atlantic water to the Arctic Ocean along the western and northern Svalbard margins. This region is well-suited for reconstructing the history of changing Atlantic water inflow to the Arctic Ocean. We studied the marine sediment core HH12-04-GC from Rijpfjorden. Benthic foraminiferal assemblages and sedimentological data are combined to reconstruct the palaeoenvironment of the fjord from the end of the last local deglaciation to the late Holocene. The local deglaciation, between 11.3 and 10.6 cal ka bp , was dominated by active glacier calving processes, associated with a strong inflow of Atlantic water. This led to the establishment of glaciomarine conditions. The Holocene was initially characterised by a relatively stable and warm environment associated with a strong contribution of Atlantic water. Glaciomarine influence progressively decreases after 9.7 cal ka bp and the Atlantic water contribution increases. The late Holocene displayed a similar environment to today, with the influence of glaciomarine conditions and limited Atlantic water inflow. These results confirm that Atlantic water inflows made a continuous contribution to northern Nordaustlandet throughout the postglacial period.  相似文献   

厦门岛东海岸沙滩底栖甲藻的种类组成及优势种的季节变化     

蓝文陆  黄凌风  郭丰  潘科 《海洋学报》2005,27(6):131-137

2001年8月至2002年7月,对厦门岛东海岸黄厝沙滩底栖甲藻的种类组成和优势种的时空分布进行了为每月一次的调查,共鉴定甲藻种类46种,其中底栖种39种,常见种14种,优势种4种.Amphidinium britannicum和Adenoides sp.为冬春季优势种,Herdmania litoraris和Peri-dinium quinquecorne为夏秋优势种,优势种的季节更替比较明显.夏秋季节的种数多,冬春季节的种数少,细胞数量高峰出现在春夏季,秋冬两季数量很少,由夏季的200多个每克干沙减少到冬末的0~4个/g干沙;多样性指数和均匀度呈双峰型分布,峰值出现在10和2月,谷值出现在12月和7月.空间分布上,底栖甲藻的总细胞密度和优势种的细胞密度呈现由高潮带向中、低潮带增加的趋势.分析了影响厦门东海岸沙滩底栖甲藻时空分布的主要因素,并探讨了沙滩底栖甲藻与近岸赤潮及着色砂现象的关系.  相似文献
