Relationships between wetland fragmentation and recent hydrologic changes in a Deltaic Coast     

R. Eugene Turner  Yeleswarapu S. Rao 《Estuaries and Coasts》1990,13(3):272-281

Patterns in coastal wetland loss in the northern Gulf of Mexico were examined using aerial imagery from 1955–56 and 1978. Five qualitative types of wetland changes are evident: (1) spoil bank-parallel pond formation, (2) pond formation with apparent random distribution for the smallest ponds, but very clumped distribution for larger ponds, (3) semi- or complete impoundment resulting in open water formation, (4) cutting off of stream channels upstream of where a spoil bank crosses a natural channel, and (5) erosion at the land-water interface. Only ponds <20 ha formed and disappeared in the interval, and it is clear that wetland breakup, not erosion at the pond-lake edge, is the dominant form of wetland-to-open water conversion. Canals and their spoil banks are spatially related to wetland-to-water conversion which is evident up to 2 km away from those man-made features. The indirect impacts of canals and spoil banks vary regionally, for example, with sediment compaction rates that increase with increasing sediment deposition. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that canals and spoil banks are a major factor driving wetland loss rates because they change wetland hydrology.  相似文献   

Magma mingling in late-Delamerian A-type granites at Mannum,South Australia   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

S. Turner  J. Foden 《Mineralogy and Petrology》1996,56(3-4):147-169

Summary The Mannum granite forms part of the Padthaway A-type granite suite, which intruded the Adelaide fold belt along with the Black Hill gabbroic complex just after the cessation of the Delamerian Orogeny. Included within the granite are microgranite blocks, inferred to be stoped pieces of a contaminated margin facies, and numerous mafic enclaves. These enclaves display a variety of globular and tear-drop shapes, are fine-grained, lack chilled margins and enclose and react with quartz and feldspar phenocrysts from the granite, suggesting they represent contemporaneous mafic magma that was mingling with the granite magma during intrusion. Modelled temperature-viscosity relationships show that, in order for these enclaves to behave in a plastic manner, the granite magma must have had a temperature in excess of 930 °C after thermal equilibration was achieved. The contemporaneity of mafic magmas resolves any thermal budget problems arising out of the formation of these high-temperature granites, and a considerable mantle flux is implied during their genesis, consistent with gravity data and the presence of the Black Hill gabbros.The enclave compositions range from dolerite and quartz-diorite to leucocratic varieties, and, together with the Mannum granite, the other Padthaway granites and rocks from the Black Hill gabbroic complex, define a tholeiite-granophyre series (SiO₂ 49–74%). Although the composition of the enclaves has been modified by diffusion and hybridism; the coherency of this array augments thermal arguments for a genetic relationship between the mafic and felsic magmas. Nd and Sr isotope data on the host granite and enclaves (⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶ Sri 0.7041–0.7060;Nd_i + 4 to –2) do not favour a crustal origin for any of the rocks. Rather, incompatible element plots indicate the A-type granites crystallized from highly fractionated magmas, consistent with rapid decreases in Eu/Eu* at relatively constantNd_i The high Eu/Eu*, highNd_i end of this trend projects into the array for the associated mafic rocks. This suggests the A-type granites of the Padthaway suite may have resulted from segregation of evolved residual interstitial liquids which form chemically and isotopically similar granophyre in the Black Hill gabbroic plutons.

Magma-Mischung in spät-Delamerischen A-Typ Graniten in Mannum, Süd-Australien

Zusammenfassung Der Mannum-Granit bildet einen Teil der Padthaway Suite von A-Typ Graniten, die zusammen mit dem Black Hill Gabbro-Komplex unmittelbar nach dem Ende der Delamerischen Orogenese in den Adelaide-Fold Belt intrudiert wurden. Im Granit kommen Blöcke von Mikrogranit die als aus dem Dach stammende Teile einer kontaminierten Randfazies interpretiert werden, sowie zahlreiche mafische Enklaven vor. Letztere zeigen eine Vielfalt von rundlichen und wassertropfenförmigen Formen, sind feinkörnig, zeigen keine abgeschrägten Ränder und enthalten, und reagieren mit, Quarz und Feldspatkristallen aus dem Granit. Dies legt nahe, daß sie gleichzeitigem mafischem Magma zuzuordnen sind, das mit dem granitischen Magma während der Intrusion gemischt wurde. Modellierte Temperatur-Viskositätsbeziehungen zeigen, daß das granitische Magma eine Temperatur von mehr als 930 °C gehabt haben muß, nachdem thermisches Gleichgewicht erreicht war — sonst hätten die Enklaven sich nicht plastisch verhalten können. Die Gleichzeitigkeit der mafischen Magmen macht es möglich, Probleme des thermischen Budgets zu lösen, die sich aus der Bildung dieser Hochtemperatur-Granite ergeben. Ein beträchtlicher Mantel-Flux muß während ihrer Entstehung geherrscht haben. Dies steht in Übereinstimmung mit Schweredaten und mit dem Vorkommen der Black Hill Gabbros.Die Zusammensetzungen der Enklaven variieren von Dolerit und Quarz-Diorit bis zu leukokratischen Varietäten. Zusammen mit dem Mannum-Granit und mit den anderen Padthaway Graniten und Gesteinen aus dem Black Hill Gabbro Komplex definieren sie eine Tholeiit-Granophyr-Serie (SiO₂ 49–74%). Obwohl die Zusammensetzung der Enklaven durch Diffusion und Hybridisierung modifiziert wurde, treten thermale Argumente für eine genetische Beziehung zwischen dem mafischen und dem felsischen Magma in den Vordergrund. Nd und Sr Isotopen-Daten des Wirt-Granites und der Enklaven (⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr_i 0.7041–0.7060; Nd₁ + 4 to –2) sprechen nicht für eine krustale Herkunft dieser Gesteine. Die Verteilungsmuster inkompatibler Elemente zeigen, daß die A-Typ Granite aus einem stark fraktionierten Magma kristallisierten, und dies stimmt mit rascher Abnahme von Eu/Eu* bei relativ konstantem Nd_i überein. Die hohen Eu/Eu* und die Nd-werte dieses Trends fallen in den Bereich der assoziierten mafischen Gesteine. Dies zeigt, daß die A-Typ Granite der Padthaway-Gruppe auf die Segregation entwickelter residualer Schmelzen zurückgehen, die chemisch und isotopisch ähnlichen Granophyr in den Black Hill Gabbro-Plutonen bilden.

Detection of interstellar vibrationally excited HCN     

Ziurys LM  Turner BE 《The Astrophysical journal》1986,300(1):L19-L23

Vibrationally excited HCN has been observed for the first time in the interstellar medium. The J = 3-2 rotational transitions of the l-doubled (0,1(1d,1c), 0) bending mode of HCN have been detected toward Orion-KL and IRC +10216. In Orion, the overall column density in the (0,1,0) mode, which exclusively samples the "hot core", is 1.7 x 10(16) cm-2 and can be understood in terms of the "doughnut" model for Orion. The ground-state HCN column density implied by the excited-state observations is 2.3 x 10(18) cm-2 in the hot core, at least one order of magnitude greater than the column densities derived for HCN in its spike and plateau/doughnut components. Radiative excitation by 14 micrometers flux from IRc2 accounts for the (0,1,0) population, provided the hot core is approximately 6-7 x 10(16) cm distant from IRc2, in agreement with the "cavity" model for KL. Toward IRC +10216 we have detected J = 3-2 transitions of both (0,1(1c),(1d), 0) and (0, 2(0), 0) excited states. The spectral profiles have been modeled to yield abundances and excitation conditions throughout the expanding envelope.  相似文献

The 1.4–22.4 Å range of the soft X-ray spectrum includes a multitude of emission lines which are important for the diagnosis of plasmas in the 1.5–50 million degree temperature range. In particular, the hydrogen and helium-like ions of all abundant solar elements with Z > 7 have their primary transitions in this region and these are especially useful for solar flare and active region studies. The soft X-ray polychromator (XRP) is a high resolution experiment working in this spectral region. The XRP consists of two instruments with a common control, data handling and power system. The bent crystal spectrometer is designed for high time resolution studies in lines of Fe i-Fe xxvi and Ca xix. The flat crystal scanning spectrometer provides for 7 channel polychromatic mapping of flares and active regions in the resonance lines of O viii, Ne ix, Mg xi, Si xiii, S xv, Ca xix, and Fe xxv with 14 spatial resolution. In its spectral scanning mode it covers essentially the entire 1.4–22.5 Å region.This paper summarizes the scientific objectives of the XRP experiment and describes the characteristics and capabilities of the two instruments. Sufficient technical information for experiment feasibility studies is included and the resources and procedures planned for the use of the XRP within the context of the Solar Maximum Mission is briefly discussed.  相似文献

Suspended Particles: Their Role in Estuarine Biogeochemical Cycles   总被引：11，自引：0，他引：11  

A. Turner  G. E. Millward 《Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science》2002,55(6):857

Suspended particles are instrumental in controlling the reactivity, transport and biological impacts of substances in aquatic environments, and provide a crucial link for chemical constituents between the water column, bed sediment and food chain. This article reviews the role of suspended particles in the chemical and biological cycling of trace constituents (trace metals, organo-metallic compounds and hydrophobic organic micropollutants; HOMs) in estuaries, with particular emphasis on the effects of and changes to particle reactivity and composition.The partitioning (or distribution coefficient,K_D ) and bioavailability of chemical constituents, and assimilation efficiency (AE) of such by bivalve suspension feeders, are identified as key parameters requiring definition for accurate biogeochemical modelling, and the discussion centres around the determination of and controls on these parameters. Particle-water interactions encompass a variety of physical, biological, electrostatic and hydrophobic effects, and are largely dependent on the character and concentration of suspended particles and salinity. The salinity-dependence results from the competing and complexing effects of seawater ions for trace metals, and the compression of water in the presence of dissolved seawater ions and consequent salting out of neutral solute (HOMs, organo-metallic compounds and some trace metal complexes). The extent of biological solubilization of chemical constituents from suspended particles is dependent on the nature of chemical components of the gastro-intestinal environment and their interactions with ingested particles, and the physiological (e.g. gut passage time) and chemical (e.g. redox conditions and pH) constraints imposed on these interactions. Generally, chemicals that associate with fine, organic-rich particles (or, for some HOMs, fine inorganic particles), and desorb at pH 5–6 and/or complex with digestive enzymes or surfactants are most readily solubilized in the gut. The extent of assimilation of solubilized chemical is then determined by its ability to pass the gut lining and partition into cytosolic material.In practice, K_D and AE are determined experimentally by means of radiotracers added to contained suspensions or mesocosms, while operational measurement of bioavailability relies on in vitro chemical or biological (enzymatic) extraction of particles. What is lacking, however, and is identified as an ultimate goal of future research, is the ability to predict these parameters from theoretical principles and thermodynamic constants. Since many of the inherent interactions and mechanisms are controlled by particle composition and reactivity, a more immediate objective would be better characterization of the biogeochemical properties of suspended particles themselves. This includes chemical resolution of the bulk organic matter, definition of the abundance and synergistic effects of component sorbent phases, and determination of the effects of particle-seawater ion interactions on the reactivity of the particle surface.  相似文献   

Zooplankton Feeding Ecology: Contents of Fecal Pellets of the Copepod Anomalocera ornata from Continental Shelf and Slope Waters of the Gulf of Mexico     

Jefferson T.  Turner 《Marine Ecology》1985,6(4):285-298

Abstract. The diet of the copepod Anomalocera ornata was examined by comparing contents of fecal pellets produced on natural diets with assemblages of available phytoplankton. Samples were collected in continental shelf and slope waters of the northern Gulf of Mexico. A wide size and taxonomic array of phytoplankters was ingested, and remains of phytoplankton taxa in fecal pellets reflected the composition of phytoplankton assemblages in the water. Absence of crustacean remains in fecal pellets suggests that A. ornata feeds primarily as an opportunistic grazer.  相似文献

Zooplankton Feeding Ecology: Contents of Fecal Pellets of the Copepods Acartia tonsa and Labidocera aestiva from Continental Shelf Waters Near the Mouth of the Mississippi River   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

Jefferson T.  Turner 《Marine Ecology》1984,5(3):265-282

Abstract. Feeding habits of adult female Acartia tonsa and Labidocera aestiva and L. aestiva CV copepodites were examined by comparing fecal pellet contents and available phytoplankton. Samples were collected from eight stations in the northern Gulf of Mexico near the mouth of the Mississippi River. Fecal pellets of both copepods contained remains of a wide variety of chain-forming and solitary phytoplankters of various sizes, as well as remains of other crustaceans. Contents of fecal pellets generally mirrored the composition and relative abundance of fluctuating assemblages of available natural phytoplankton. Both species fed upon a wide size range of cells, from solitary centric diatoms of 2–8 um diameter up to large solitary centrics of 33–53 urn diameter. Both copepods also ingested the elongate solitary pennate diatom Thalassiothrix sp. (264–330 urn long) and chain-forming diatoms such as Skeletonema costatum. Remains of large or chain-forming diatoms and crustaceans were more dominant in fecal pellets of L. aestiva. This suggests that L. aestiva is primarily a raptorial feeder, grasping larger particles while A. tonsa is a more typical suspension feeder. Both copepods are opportunistic omnivores, however, and there is considerable overlap in their diets.  相似文献
