Continued post-bleaching decline and changed benthic community of a Kenyan coral reef     

Lambo AL  Ormond RF 《Marine pollution bulletin》2006,52(12):1617-1624

During the global coral bleaching event of 1997/1998 Kenyan reefs experienced between 50% and 90% coral mortality, with coral cover at Malindi being reduced from 35–45% (pre-bleaching) to 10–20%. Even before this event there was concern that these reefs were being impacted by increased sediment loads from the nearby Sabaki River. Here we report that since 1998 coral cover has declined yet further with, in 2004, means of 5.1% being recorded at North Reef (within the non-fished Malindi Marine National Park) and 2.3% on Leopard Reef (within the fished Marine Reserve). Prior to bleaching 55 coral genera were recorded from the area, currently we find only 23. Meanwhile algal cover, especially the calcareous green alga Halimeda, has increased, and on Leopard Reef is twice that on North Reef. Taken with the evidence of previous studies, these data suggest a combined impact of coral bleaching with sedimentation and fishing.  相似文献   

Survival under chronic stress from sediment load: spatial patterns of hard coral communities in the southern islands of Singapore     

Dikou A  van Woesik R 《Marine pollution bulletin》2006,52(1):7-21

Six reef sites were chosen along the west coasts of Singapore's southern islands, to: (1) quantitatively assess and compare coral community composition and structure, and recruitment rates, (2) assess the relationship between the aforementioned patterns and the environmental conditions, and (3) provide insights on potential processes that incorporate history at these study sites. Chronic exposure to high sediment load was the most obvious form of anthropogenic stress. Recruitment rates on ceramic tiles were low (1.4+/-1.0-20+/-14.7 recruits m(-2)year(-1)) but decreased towards the main island of Singapore as did hard coral cover and coral density. Coral fauna consisted of genera generally found in deeper waters (e.g., fungiids, foliose Oxypora, Leptoseris, and Echinopora) or those well adapted to turbid waters (e.g., Porites, Pectinia, Leptastrea, Montipora). Light extinction coefficient (K) and % live coral cover (%LCC) showed a strong and inverse curvilinear relationship (%LCC=13.60 *K(-3.40)). Similarly, the rate of sediment deposition (DFSPM) (Recruitment rate, RR=1.51-0.17 *DFSPM) and water clarity (RR=3.56-2.92 *K) exhibited strong and inverse relationships with recruitment rates. Although measured levels of the down-ward flux of suspended particulate matter and suspended solids were well within "normal" levels recorded in the literature, it was the proportion of benthic space, generic coral composition, and site history that offered compelling evidence of chronic exposure to increased sediment load. Clearly a reduction in both water clarity and live-coral cover has taken place since monitoring efforts began in the early 1970s, in fact coral cover has more than halved at all sites examined since the 1980s and benthic space was predominantly occupied by dead corals covered with sediment and filamentous algae.  相似文献   

GIS专题数据库中多层注记重叠问题的解决与自动配置   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

祁洪霞  杨敏华  杨文亮 《测绘科学》2012,(1):201-202

GIS专题数据库中面状对象的注记一般会自动配置在图形的重心位置。当同一个面状对象在多个数据层中被赋予不同的属性定义时,注记符号和文字将会重叠在同一个位置。当使用的GIS建库软件存在这方面的缺陷时,解决多层注记重叠、自动重新配置注记符号这一命题就显得至关重要。本文以张家界市武陵源城镇地籍数据为例,从多边形形状度量入手,给出基于Delaunay三角网法的骨架线提取算法,较好地解决了多数据层注记重叠和注记符号自动配置问题,提高了工作效率。  相似文献   

不同轴压比RCS梁柱组合件恢复力模型研究          下载免费PDF全文

朱旦  李升才  朱永甫 《世界地震工程》2021,(2):143-152

以6个1/2模型RCS梁柱节点拟静力试验为基础,研究不同轴压比下RCS组合件的滞回性能。试验结果表明:梁铰破坏时试件的滞回曲线饱满,耗能能力优于构造破坏;随着轴压比的增大,试件滞回环愈加丰满,初始刚度有所增加,承载力有所增大;随着加载位移的增加,刚度退化速率变慢,且梁铰破坏时随着轴压比增大,刚度退化速率变大。基于试验结果和现有恢复力模型理论,建立的三折线骨架曲线模型与实际试验骨架曲线具有较高的吻合度,能较好的反映轴压比对其滞回特性的影响,可为该RCS梁柱组合件的弹塑性分析及工程应用提供参考。  相似文献   

基于CDT骨架线的地图目标邻近冲突识别

制图综合过程中随着比例尺的缩小,不可避免地产生邻近冲突。为了在数字环境下自动地解决这类冲突,首先需要实现这些冲突的自动识别。文中提出一种基于CDT骨架线的地图目标邻近冲突识别方法。该方法首先基于CDT提取地图目标之间空白区域的骨架线;然后沿着每一条骨架线弧段所穿过的三角形路径搜索相邻地图目标之间的冲突区域(宽度小于阈值的三角形集合);最后,从冲突涉及的地图目标、发生冲突的空间位置以及冲突严重程度3个方面给出所识别冲突的定量化描述,从而为邻近冲突的解决提供依据。  相似文献

如何使用少量的地形特征复原地形地貌一直为地学领域的难题。本文使用开源数据集提取地形特征要素,使用地形特征要素作为约束条件构建了用于生成DEM的条件生成对抗网络(Conditional Generative Adversarial Networks, CGAN),设计了基于开源DEM、开源DEM与遥感影像组合、以及5m高精度DEM提取地形特征要素生成DEM的对比实验,并对结果进行视觉效果、相关性分析以及地形因子的对比与评价。结果表明:(1)在视觉效果上,3种不同方式生成的DEM在视觉效果上均十分逼近原始5 m DEM,都远好于传统插值方法生成DEM,基于开源12.5m DEM提取要素和1m遥感影像的重建效果最接近于原始5 m DEM;(2)在相关性上,三种不同方式生成的DEM与原始5m DEM相关性均能达到0.75以上,组合开源数据提取要素重建DEM与原始5 m DEM相关性可达到0.85以上;(3)在地形因子方面,基于开源12.5 m DEM和1 m遥感影像提取要素重建DEM的坡度和坡向的分布趋势与原始5 m DEM最为一致。本文为高精度DEM建模提供了新的思路,在高精度DEM难以获取...  相似文献

鲁刚  王福全 《测绘工程》2010,19(6):13-16

根据等高线数据直接建立不规则三角形网络模型往往会在山顶、山底、山脊和山谷等特殊地区出现＂平三角形＂,导致模型失真。文中基于Delaunay三角网,通过对＂平三角形＂的处理,提取骨架线,并结合地形特征估计其高程值。实验证明该算法能够有效地提取各种地形骨架线,对于建立逼真的数字地面模型和进行数字地形分析具有重要应用价值。  相似文献
