Terrestrial sensitivity to abrupt cooling recorded by aeolian activity in northwest Ohio, USA     

Melinda C. Campbell  Timothy G. Fisher  Ronald J. Goble 《Quaternary Research》2011,75(3):411-416

Lower slopes of the Sandia Mountains are characterized by granitic corestone topography and weathering-limited slopes with thin grusy colluvium and weakly developed soils. In contrast, thick soils with illuvial clay and pedogenic carbonate have developed below aplite outcrops. Aplite is resistant to chemical decomposition, but physically weathers to blocky clasts that enhance surface roughness and erosional resistance of colluvium, promoting accumulation of eolian fines. Thick B horizons on aplite slopes indicate limited erosion and prolonged periods of stability and soil development. Accretion of eolian material limits runoff and prevents attainment of a steady-state balance between soil production and downslope transport.  相似文献

The role of aridification in constraining the elevation range of Holocene solifluction processes and associated landforms in the periglacial belt of the Sierra Nevada (southern Spain)     

Marc Oliva  Antonio Gómez Ortiz 《地球表面变化过程与地形》2011,36(10):1279-1291

Climate variability during the Mid‐Late Holocene has influenced the activity of geomorphic processes in the current periglacial belt of the Sierra Nevada. We studied two types of sedimentary records that reveal a synchronous timing for slope instability in this high semi‐arid massif: solifluction landforms and mountain lake sediments. Lithological and sedimentological properties of both records have recorded numerous cycles of different magnitude of slope processes in the massif. Solifluction deposits record seven phases of solifluction activity and soil development during the last 7 ka bp and lake sediments show evidence of eight periods with increased geomorphic activity in the catchments over the last 6 ka bp . Although present‐day climate conditions do not promote active solifluction processes in the Sierra Nevada, colder and wetter periods during the Holocene triggered solifluction and transported coarse‐grained sediments into the lakes. By contrast, warm phases favoured soil formation and spread an incipient vegetation cover over the headwaters of the highest valleys, diminishing the grain size of the particles reaching the lakes. Lake sediments record an aridification trend in the massif intensifying since 4·2 ka bp that has conditioned solifluction activity to shift gradually to higher elevations. During major cooler phases such as the Little Ice Age active solifluction was recorded back down to 2500 m altitude. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献

Effects of Oxbow Reconnection Based on the Distribution and Structure of Benthic Macroinvertebrates     

Krystian Obolewski  Katarzyna Glińska‐Lewczuk 《洁净——土壤、空气、水》2011,39(9):853-862

This study focuses on the assessment of relationships between flow and macrozoobenthos structure that was performed in a reconnected oxbow lake located in the S?upia River floodplain (northern Poland). The lake was created during river straightening at the beginning of 20th century by cutting off the right‐bank meander. The oxbow restoration was performed to enhance the ecological viability of this water body and restore riverine wetland. In July 2000 the oxbow was connected with the river channel through PVC pipes which enabled free water movement. Macrozoobenthos sampling, as well as chemical analyses of water and hydrological measurements, took place both before and after the oxbow reconnection. Before the oxbow reconnection, the dominant species was Asellus aquaticus, whereas after the reconnection the structure of benthic species changed significantly. During the first year it was replaced by bivalves and Chironomidae larvae and then A. aquaticus. After the reconnection, macrozoobenthos mean density was 5‐fold higher and the mean wet biomass was 77‐fold higher than before the reconnection. The number of taxa increased from 4 before the oxbow reconnection to 17 during the first year after the performed works and 20 in the next year. We stated that the revitalization process of the reconnected oxbow lake has long‐term consequences for the benthic communities. The most significant feature of the oxbow reconnection is the qualitative and quantitative recolonization by riverine macrozoobenthos species. The performed restoration significantly improved ecological status of the oxbow lake by the increase in biodiversity and water quality.  相似文献   

1989~2009年西藏多庆错湖泊面积变化分析研究     

拉巴  拉巴卓玛 《四川气象》2011,(2):56-58

根据1989、2000~2002、2007、2009年TM卫星遥感影像和1989~2009年气象数据分析：近20年来,西藏多庆错湖水面积呈显著的减小趋势,20年内减小了28.4km2;湖泊所在的帕里站年平均气温呈显著的升高趋势,年降水量呈减小趋势。分析湖泊面积变化的原因,降水量减少和气温升高使冰雪加速融化,导致湖泊补给水源不足是湖泊面积萎缩的主要原因。  相似文献   

博斯腾湖滨柽柳(Tamarix ramosissina)生长对湖水位的敏感性     

侯佳文  海米提·依米提  叶茂 《中国沙漠》2015,35(3)

基于博斯腾湖1955—2012年湖水位变化资料,利用树木年轮法分析了博斯腾湖年和月水位变化与湖滨柽柳(Tamarix ramosissina)年轮生长关系,利用敏感度指数得出博斯腾湖滨柽柳年轮生长的敏感水位范围。结果表明:(1)1955—2012年博斯腾湖年平均水位经历了3个明显变化阶段,即1955—1987年下降至最低,1987—2002年上升至最高。受向下游生态输水影响,2002—2012年博斯腾湖水位快速下降。输水对博斯腾湖月平均水位和季节性水位变化有影响。(2)博斯腾湖滨柽柳年轮指数与当年的湖水位变化和前1年的湖水位变化均显著相关(p0.05)。柽柳年轮指数与前1年10月至当年4月各个月份的湖水位表现出显著相关(p0.05)。柽柳年轮指数与前1年冬季湖水位相关显著(p0.05),与当年春季3—4月月平均湖水位相关性显著,与当年夏季和秋季湖水位的相关性不显著。(3)博斯腾湖滨柽柳年轮生长对月湖水位变化响应比较敏感。当湖水位在1045.3m时,柽柳年轮指数灵敏度指数(Sk)存在最低值;当湖水位在1 046.3m时,Sk出现最高值。  相似文献   

滇池螺蛳(Margarya melanioides)分布和底泥营养元素调查     

沈兰  范彪  田明  张璐  方福康  陈元晓 《海洋科学》2015,39(11):26-31

研究了滇池螺蛳(Margarya melanioides)分布和底泥营养成分之间的关系。2013年在滇池87个采样点采集螺蛳和底泥样本,图示分析所有采样点的活的螺蛳数量,确定活螺在滇池中的分布位点及分布密度;选择8个采样点的底泥样本,进行16项营养元素(有机质、磷、氮、锌、铁、锰、镁、钙、铜、钠、钾、砷、汞、铅、镉、铬)含量测定,分析这些样本营养元素的差异。根据这8个采样点中有无螺蛳生长,将8个底泥样本分为两组,采用完全随机设计两样本比较的t检验,结果两组样本间仅铜的含量有统计学差异(P0.05),这可能是由于滇池螺蛳的生长有效富集了重金属铜元素,使有螺区域比无螺区域底泥中铜的含量明显减少。这在一定程度上说明了螺蛳生长与底泥的关系,可为滇池污染防治及螺蛳种群保护提供相关的科学依据。  相似文献
