冻融循环作用下边坡地震动稳定性研究     

王文丽  王兰民  郑龙 《震灾防御技术》2013,8(2):156-163

季节冻土区和多年冻土区边坡在经历冻融循环后其力学性质产生较大变化,边坡稳定性随之改变,在地震动荷载作用下存在着巨大的安全隐患.本文基于FLAC数值软件,将考虑冻土相变的显热熔算法引入热学计算模块,并结合静态边界动力计算模块,建立了适用于冻融循环条件下的边坡地震动稳定性分析平台.研究了冻融循环对边坡土体地震动稳定性的影响.结果表明,在发生冻融循环的季节冻土区或多年冻土已经退化的区域,地震动后边坡的塑性破坏形式主要取决于发生冻融循环的活动层的范围.  相似文献

张凡  高众勇孙恒 《极地研究》2013,25(3):284-293

普里兹湾是南大洋碳循环研究典型代表海区,也是中国历次南大洋考察的重点调查区域。从初级生产力、营养盐、叶绿素、海-气CO₂通量、真光层颗粒有机碳（POC）输出通量,净群落生产力（NCP）等方面综合阐述了其碳循环特征。生物泵运转效率和海冰过程是碳吸收的主要控制因素。普里兹湾总体上可以从陆坡划界,分为湾内和湾外两大部分。两者碳循环特征差异显著。湾内碳循环过程活跃,是南大洋夏季的高生产力区域。湾外则表现出高营养盐、低叶绿素（HNLC）特征,初步认为存在Fe限制。总体上,溶解有机碳（DOC）、POC、营养盐、叶绿素、二氧化碳分压（pCO₂）等存在从湾内向湾外随纬度递增或递减的规律。海冰消长对碳循环过程影响剧烈。夏季融冰造成的冰藻释放、水体垂直稳定性增加是提高生物生产力的首要原因。总体上普里兹湾的碳循环受各种生物、物理过程及其耦合作用控制,对南大洋碳循环机制研究有重要意义。  相似文献

Foraging across ecosystems: diet diversity and social foraging spanning aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems by an invertebrate     

Mark E. Laidre 《Marine Ecology》2013,34(1):80-89

Ecosystems are fundamentally connected to one another, although empirical documentation of the links between them, especially the links between marine and terrestrial ecosystems, has been limited. This study examined the foraging behavior and ecology of an understudied invertebrate, the hermit crab Coenobita compressus, which is remarkably abundant at the nexus of marine, terrestrial, and freshwater ecosystems. Data collected between 2008 and 2011 in the Osa Peninsula of Costa Rica revealed that C. compressus plays a generalist scavenger role across ecosystems. Beach almond fruits (Terminalia catappa) were a staple of the crabs’ diet, but the crabs also commonly consumed a variety of other fruit species and various parts of plants (nuts, seeds, flowers, husk, stems, buds) as well as algae, fungus, animal feces, and the carcasses of insects, jellyfish, conspecifics, other crustacean species, freshwater and saltwater fish, sea turtles (eggs and adults), and mammals. The crabs fed on these resources in prominent social aggregations, also forming such aggregations as they exchanged the aquatically derived gastropod shells that they use as homes while roaming the land. The size of the crabs’ aggregations around plant versus animal resources and around terrestrial versus aquatic resources did not differ, underscoring the species’ generalist foraging behavior. Broadly, these results suggest that C. compressus has one of the most diverse diets of any crustacean and plays a critical role in recycling organic matter and nutrients. This species might also mediate the passage of resources across different ecosystems, although further research is needed to explore this possibility.  相似文献   

Circuits of scrap: closed loop industrial ecosystems and the geography of US international recyclable material flows 1995–2005     

DONALD LYONS  MURRAY RICE  ROBERT WACHAL 《The Geographical journal》2009,175(4):286-300

The recycling of scrap material has been identified as an important strategy in the larger theory of industrial ecology. Industrial ecology argues that the traditional model of industrial activity needs to be transformed into a 'closed loop' industrial ecosystem where used materials (scrap) and by-products would substitute for virgin materials during production processes. The recycling of scrap material forms part of this larger effort to reduce the overall environmental impact of production and consumption. A key, but as yet, unresolved question in this process is the geographic scale (local, regional, national, global) at which loop closing should take place. This preliminary empirical research examines the export and import geography of the seven largest (by weight) US scrap commodities (iron and steel, paper, plastics, aluminium, copper, nickel and zinc) between 1995 and 2005 to ascertain the extent to which US scrap flows overseas and how that might affect our understanding of how material loops can close. Other than an integrated export and import relationship with Canada, the results suggest that there are two distinct circuits of scrap flows in the USA. The USA exports a substantial portion of the recyclable scrap generated each year to rapidly developing countries, while importing smaller quantities of scrap from the EU. With the major exception of exporting higher value iron and steel scrap to China, the US tends to export lower value scrap and import higher value scrap. In part this reflects imbalances in the supply and demand for scrap between the USA and the developing world, the lack of potentially available scrap and the absence of a robust recycling infrastructure in the developing world. Although such scrap circuits are probably not ideal, the use of US scrap in the developing world is both a realistic and preferable alternative in the short to medium term than virgin production.  相似文献

风蚀对土壤养分及碳循环影响的研究进展与展望   总被引：5，自引：0，他引：5  

罗万银  董治宝 《地理科学进展》2005,24(4):75-83

土壤风蚀是土壤颗粒在风力作用下的剥蚀、搬运和沉积的过程。风蚀使土壤中的大量营养物质损失，导致土地生产力下降，促使地表养分的再分配，促进碳（C）循环。土壤颗粒团聚体稳定状况、不同土地利用方式和人类活动都会影响土壤风蚀度的大小，从而进一步影响土壤中养分的分布及C在土壤圈、大气圈和生物圈中的循环。针对过去对土壤风蚀引起的土壤养分及碳循环研究的不足，提出今后的研究工作应当注重：（1）土壤风蚀环境效应；(2) 土壤的潜在风蚀微观机理；（3）风蚀物在土壤-植物-大气系统间的互馈机制研究。  相似文献   

Sulphur cycling in organic-rich marine sediments from a Scottish fjord   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

SIMON H. BOTTRELL  ROBERT J.G. MORTIMER  IAN M. DAVIES†  S. MARTYN HARVEY‡  MICHAEL D. KROM 《Sedimentology》2009,56(4):1159-1173

In this study, the biogeochemical transformations of sulphur in organic‐rich marine sediments in a Scottish fjord are investigated by a combination of pore water and sediment geochemistry with sulphide diffusive gradient thin‐film probes and sulphate isotopic data (δ³⁴S and δ¹⁸O). Particular attention is paid to sulphur cycling in the upper sediment profile where sulphate reduction occurs but free sulphide is below the detection limits of conventional pore water geochemical analysis but quantifiable by sulphide diffusive gradient thin film. In the uppermost part of the sediment core, δ¹⁸O sulphate decreased from near‐sea water values to +7‰, indicating that anoxic sulphide oxidation dominated during this interval. Sulphate δ³⁴S remained unchanged as there was no net sulphate reduction (i.e. reduction was balanced by re‐oxidation). Below 4 cm depth, there was a slight increase in sulphate δ³⁴S from 20‰ to 23‰ associated with minor accumulation of iron sulphide. The δ¹⁸O of the sulphate also increased, to around +10‰ at 10 cm depth, as a result of the isotopic exchange of sulphate–oxygen with pore water and/or sulphur disproportionation reactions mediated during sulphur cycling. These processes continued to increase the δ¹⁸O of the sulphate to 14‰ at 20 cm depth with no further change in the δ³⁴S of the sulphate. Below 20 cm depth, free sulphide is detectable in pore waters and both the δ³⁴S of the sulphate and sulphide increase with depth with an offset controlled by kinetic fractionation during bacterial sulphate reduction. The δ³⁴S of the sedimentary organic fraction shifted towards lower, more bacteriogenic, values with depth in the profile, without any increase in the size of this sulphur pool. Thus, the organic sulphur fraction was open to interaction with bacteriogenic sulphide without the occurrence of net addition. Therefore, caution should be exercised when using sulphur isotopic compositions to infer simple net addition of bacteriogenic sulphide to the organic sulphur fraction.  相似文献   

Current and future impacts of ultraviolet radiation on the terrestrial carbon balance     

W. Kolby Smith  Wei Gao  Heidi Steltzer 《Frontiers of Earth Science》2009,3(1):34-41

One of the most documented effects of human activity on our environment is the reduction of stratospheric ozone resulting in an increase of biologically harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation. In a less predictable manner, UV radiation incident at the surface of the earth is expected to be further modified in the future as a result of altered cloud condition, atmospheric aerosol concentration, and snow cover. Although UV radiation comprises only a small fraction of the total solar radiation that is incident at the earth’s surface, it has the greatest energy per unit wavelength and, thus, the greatest potential to damage the biosphere. Recent investigations have highlighted numerous ways that UV radiation could potentially affect a variety of ecological processes, including nutrient cycling and the terrestrial carbon cycle. The objectives of the following literature review are to summarize and synthesize the available information relevant to the effects of UV radiation and other climate change factors on the terrestrial carbon balance in an effort to highlight current gaps in knowledge and future research directions for UV radiation research.  相似文献
