Depositional environments along the tidal river downstream of Óbidos have been proposed as important sinks for up to one third of the sediment discharge from the Amazon River. However, the morphology of the intertidal floodplain and the dynamics of sediment exchange along this reach have yet to be described. River-bank surveys in five regions along the Amazon tidal river reveal a distinct transition in bank morphology between the upper, central and lower reaches of the tidal river. The upper tidal-river floodplain is defined by prominent natural levees that control the transfer of water and sediment between the mainstem Amazon River and its floodplain. Greater tidal influence in the central tidal river suppresses levee development, and tidal currents increase sediment transport into the distal parts of the floodplain. In the lower tidal river, the floodplain morphology closely resembles marine intertidal environments (e.g. mud flats, salt marshes), with dendritic tidal channels incising elevated vegetated flats. Theory, morphology and geochronology suggest that the dynamics of sediment delivery to the intertidal floodplain of the Amazon tidal river vary along its length due to the relative influence and coupling of fluvial and tidal dynamics. © 2018 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献   

Characterizing Non-Industrial Private Forest Landowners' Forest Management Engagement and Advice Sources     

Morgan A. Crowley  Joel Hartter  Russell G. Congalton  Lawrence C. Hamilton  Nils D. Christoffersen 《社会与自然资源》2019,32(2):204-221

Non-industrial private forestland (NIPF) owners have options for engagement by following management strategies that reduce wildfire risk on their forestlands. Forest management engagement is a broad term with underlying categories and management implications. To better understand these categories, we examine interview data on the engagement of forest landowners from a case study of private forestland owner perspectives in northeast Oregon, USA. NIPF landowners outline two types of forest management engagement, one for property and one for community-focused forestland management. NIPF owners describe actions for engagement in public forestland management and how these actions differ from engagement in private management. Additionally, NIPF owners establish barriers to engagement in both public and private forestland management. Our findings can be used to better identify unengaged private forestland owners in the U.S. West, informing the design and implementation of extension and outreach for NIPF owners.  相似文献   

Chloride in precipitation and streamwater for the upland catchment of river severn,mid-wales; some consequences for hydrochemical models     

Colin Neal  Nils Christophersen  Richard Neale  Christopher J. Smith  Paul G. Whitehead  Brian Reynolds 《水文研究》1988,2(2):155-165

Variations in the concentration of Cl in rainfall and stream runoff are presented for two catchments in the Hafren forest of mid-Wales, Great Britain. Despite the large fluctuations in rainfall concentrations, Cl in the streamwater remains relatively constant. Using the two-reservoir Birkenes model, an attempt was made to simulate observed Cl in streamwater. The original model was unable to reproduce the observations and several modifications are suggested to provide better simulations. The resulting model is not the only one capable of reproducing the observations; other hydrochemical models will most probably also achieve this although emphasis will in each case be placed on different aspects. In this paper, it is suggested that the stochastic properties of water movement and chemical processes can account for the streamwater chemistry responses observed. On the catchment scale these processes will lead to an apparently deterministic behaviour that may well be described by simple relationships.  相似文献

Combined electrical resistivity tomography and magnetic resonance sounding investigation of the surface-water/groundwater interaction in the Urema Graben,Mozambique     

F. J. Chirindja  T. Dahlin  N. Perttu  F. Steinbruch  R. Owen 《Hydrogeology Journal》2016,24(6):1583-1592

This study focusses on the hydrogeology of Urema Graben, especially possible interactions between surface water and groundwater around Lake Urema, in Gorongosa National Park (GNP). Lake Urema is the only permanent water source for wildlife inside GNP, and there are concerns that it will disappear due to interferences in surface-water/groundwater interactions as a result of changes in the hydraulic environment. As the lake is the only permanent water source, this would be a disaster for the ecosystem of the park. The sub-surface geology in Urema Graben was investigated by 20 km of electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) and three magnetic resonance sounding (MRS) surveys. The average depth penetration was 60 and 100 m, respectively. The location of the ERT lines was decided based on general rift morphology and therefore orientated perpendicular to Urema Graben, from the transitional areas of the margins of the Barue platform in the west to the Cheringoma plateau escarpments in the east. ERT and MRS both indicate a second aquifer, where Urema Lake is a window of the first upper semi-confined aquifer, while the lower aquifer is confined by a clay layer 30–40 m thick. The location and depth of this aquifer suggest that it is probably linked to the Pungwe River which could be a main source of recharge during the dry season. If a dam or any other infra-structure is constructed in Pungwe River upstream of GNP, the groundwater level will decrease which could lead to drying out of Urema Lake.  相似文献

Equilibrium and structural studies of silicon(iv) and aluminium(iii) in aqueous solution. V. Acidity constants of silicic acid and the ionic product of water in the medium range 0.05–2.0 M Na(CI) at 25°C     

Staffan Sjöberg  Yvonne Hägglund  Agneta Nordin  Nils Ingri 《Marine Chemistry》1983,13(1):35-44

The apparent ionization constants for silicic acid, k₁ and k₂, and the ionic product of water, k_w, have been determined in 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4 and 2.0 M Na(CI) media at 25°C. The medium dependence of these constants was found to fit equations of the form where K₁ is the ionization constant in pure water, α_i and b_i are parameters of which b_i has been adjusted to present data. The following results were obtained (α_i, b_i): pK₁ = 9.84, (1.022, ?0.11); pK₂ = 13.43, (2.044, ?0.20); and pK_w = 14.01 (1.022, ?0.22). k_i values are collected in Tables I and II. Attempts have been made to explain the medium dependence of k₁ and k₂ with weak sodium silicate complexing according to the equilibria giving k₁₁ = 0.37M^?1 and k₂₁= 3.0M^?1. However, these weak interactions cannot be interpreted unambiguously from potentiometric data at different 1-levels. Probably the medium dependence could equally well be expressed by variations in the activity coefficients.The measurements were performed as potentiometric titrations using a hydrogen electrode. The average number of OH^- reacted per Si(OH)₄, Z, has been varied within the limits 0 ? Z ? 1.1 and B₁, the total concentration of Si(OH)₄, between 0.001 M and 0.008 M. k₁ was evaluated from experimental data with B ? 0.003 M, and k₂ with B ? 0.008 M and Z ? 0.95.  相似文献
