Gravel dispersion on a granite pediment (East Mojave Desert,California): a short-term look at erosional processes     

S. B. Edinger-Marshall  L. J. Lund 《地球表面变化过程与地形》1999,24(4):349-359

Hypotheses about the influence of surface shape, landscape unit and vegetation cover on gravel dispersion were tested on a shallowly dissected portion of a low-sloping granite pediment in the East Mojave Desert of California. Painted gravels (2 to 20 mm diameter) were placed at 117 nodes on a 6m × 3m grid. Gravel movements were recorded after 9.7 cm of precipitation over a four-month period. Vectors indicating the magnitude and direction of gravel movement were longest for summits (24 cm, 34 nodes observed) and shortest for backslopes (14 cm, 27 nodes observed). Gravels beneath shrub canopies were protected significantly from rainsplash transport. To describe dispersion symmetry, eccentricity values were calculated using a ratio of variances of major and minor axes of an ellipse. Mean eccentricity values ranged from about 3 to 250 with dispersion on summits being the most symmetrical and dispersion in washes being the most elongated. Erosion is the most important soil- and pediment-modifying process at upper elevations of the Granite Cove Pediment which is cut off from sediment additions because of washes incised at the base of the mountain front.

An analysis of vehicular exhaust derived nanoparticles and historical Belgium fortress building interfaces     

《地学前缘(英文版)》2020,11(6):2053-2060

Air pollution monitoring is one of the most important features in contamination risk management. This is because many of the compounds contained within air pollution present a serious risk both for the preservation of open air cultural heritage and for human health. New particle formation is a major contributor to urban pollution, but how it occurs in cities is often puzzling. As more and more people enjoy an increased quality of life through outdoor activity, managing outdoor air quality is vital. This study presents the application of a low-cost system for monitoring the current level of road traffic passengers’ exposure to particulate air contamination. The global rise in tourism also leads to apprehension about its probable destructive influence on various aspects of global preservation. One of the major risks encountered by tourists, stemming from modes of transport, are nanoparticles (NPs) (≤100 ​nm) and ultra-fine particles (UFPs) (100–1000 ​nm) consisting of potentially hazardous elements (PHEs). This study examines Steen Castle, a medieval fortress located in Antwerp, Belgium. Significant NPs with PHEs, were found in the air sampled in this area. The self-made passive sampler (LSPS) described in this study, consisting of retainers specially designed for advanced microscopic analysis, is used for the first time as a simple way to characterize the surrounding atmospheric contamination caused by NPs and UFPs, without the need of other commonly employed more expensive particulate focused active samplers such as cascade impactors. This study aims to assess the result of the utilization of a low-cost, LSPS, to determine outdoor NPs and UFPs in a Belgian urban (Steen Castle) and rural area (Fort van Schoten). This work is the first to detail the usefulness of LSPS for the evaluation of Belgium’s outdoor air for NPs and UFPs, which contain PHEs.  相似文献

为了分析兴凯湖水体光学活性物质的吸收特性、来源和空间分布以及对400~700 nm范围内总吸收的贡献,于2013年5月对该水体进行野外实验,对水体中浮游藻类、非藻类颗粒物和有色可溶性有机物的吸收特性和水质参数进行测定.结果表明:总悬浮颗粒物的吸收光谱与非藻类颗粒物相似,色素颗粒物含量较少且单一,非藻类颗粒物在总悬浮颗粒物吸收中占主导地位,其贡献率始终在50%以上.CDOM吸收曲线的拟合函数斜率值Sg均高于其它水体.440 nm处总悬浮颗粒物和非藻类颗粒物的吸收系数ap(440)、ad(440)与总悬浮颗粒物、无机悬浮颗粒物和有机悬浮颗粒物浓度相关性均较好,与叶绿素a(Chl.a)浓度的相关性较差.兴凯湖与其它Ⅱ类水体的差异性表现在440 nm处CDOM吸收系数ag(440)与Chl.a浓度、溶解性有机碳(DOC)浓度均无显著相关性,说明DOC以无色部分为主.总体上,大兴凯湖各吸收系数和水质参数均值均低于小兴凯湖,后者水质受农耕区退水及周围渔业、旅游业的影响较大.  相似文献   

Development of new sensor systems for continuous bedload monitoring using a submerged load‐cell system (SLS)          下载免费PDF全文

It is important to evaluate bedload discharge and temporal changes of the bed surface, and bed deformation can be estimated during floods if the bedload discharge is properly evaluated in an arbitrary cross‐section. With the exception of grain size and its distribution within the bedload, bedload discharge has been measured using both direct and indirect methods. Bedload slot is a direct method but cannot be used to measure bedload during a flood because of volume limitations. Indirect methods require correlation between the signals and sediment volume measured using another method. In the present study, a small, automatically recording bedload sensor with an iron plate and a pair of load cells is developed in order to evaluate not only large particles but also sand particles as bedload. Bedload mass is calculated by integrating with respect to both the velocity of sediment particles and the averaged particle weight as measured by a pair of load cells, and, as an example, the velocity is estimated by the cross‐correlation function of weights measured by load cells. The applicability of the proposed sensor is discussed based on the results of flume tests in the laboratory (2014) and the observation flume of the Hodaka Sedimentation Observatory of Kyoto University in Japan (2015). The system was installed in the observation flume in November of 2012, and flume data were obtained using natural sediment particles. In particular, it was difficult to estimate the velocity of averaged bedload particles, and it was better to apply a cross‐correlation function in the laboratory tests. However, it appears that the previous estimation can estimate these velocities in the observation flume using a connecting tube and submerged load‐cell systems.

为了研究暴雨事件对千岛湖有色可溶性有机物(CDOM)和颗粒物吸收光谱的影响,利用2016年暴雨前(3月1-6日)和暴雨后(4月6-11日)采集的水样,对暴雨前、后千岛湖水体CDOM、浮游藻类和非藻类颗粒物的吸收光谱特征进行分析,探讨暴雨事件对其造成的影响.结果表明:千岛湖作为典型的深水型内陆湖泊,其CDOM、浮游藻类颗粒物和非藻类颗粒物的吸收强度较太湖等浅水型湖泊弱.暴雨前,CDOM光谱吸收系数aCDOM(λ)值在0~0.6 m-1范围内变化,其光谱拟合系数SCDOM的均值为0.0158±0.00145 nm-1.暴雨前浮游藻类光谱吸收在总颗粒物中占主导,aph(λ)在0~0.35m-1范围内变化,非藻类颗粒物光谱吸收系数aNAP(λ)在0~0.15 m-1范围内变化,其光谱拟合系数SNAP均值为5.62±0.57μm-1;暴雨后CDOM光谱吸收系数aCDOM(λ)值在0~1.6 m-1范围内变化,其光谱拟合系数SCDOM的均值为0.0157±0.00101 nm-1.暴雨后浮游藻类光谱吸收系数aph(λ)在0~2.5 m-1范围内变化,非藻类颗粒物光谱吸收在部分区域已占据主导地位,aNAP(λ)在0~0.8 m-1范围内变化,其光谱拟合系数SNAP均值为5.72±0.68μm-1.由CDOM吸收特征值相对分子质量M值得出,暴雨前、后千岛湖不同区域CDOM组成都以富里酸为主,且暴雨前M值分布较均匀,暴雨后M值呈现从新安江向缓冲区、东南区递增的趋势,这说明西北区随暴雨输入的腐殖酸增加了CDOM的相对分子质量.暴雨对SNAP值影响较大的区域为西北区、西南区、东北区,对西南区影响最小.本研究为使用光学手段深入探讨暴雨事件对千岛湖水环境的影响提供重要依据.  相似文献

颗粒态有机磷的碱性磷酸酶矿化是水生态系统磷循环的重要环节,对细菌碱性磷酸酶编码基因的解析有利于揭示浅水富营养化湖泊有机磷矿化的微生物驱动机制.本文以太湖不同生态类型湖区悬浮颗粒物为研究对象,运用荧光定量PCR技术,探究太湖水体中悬浮颗粒物细菌碱性磷酸酶phoX和phoD基因的时空分布特征,以及影响两类基因丰度的主要环境因子.结果表明：太湖不同生态类型湖区中phoD基因丰度是phoX基因的6~42倍,且二者均存在显著的时空分布差异.6月,河口区phoX（9.18×10⁴ copies/L）和phoD（1.88×10⁶ copies/L）基因丰度均最高,其次分别为草型区、湖心区和藻型区.与6月相比,9月各湖区phoD基因丰度显著降低,而phoX基因丰度在藻型区和草型区则有所升高.9月,草型区phoX基因丰度最高（5.70×10⁴ copies/L）,河口区最低（1.49×10⁴ copies/L）.水生植物对phoX和phoD基因丰度具有重要贡献.悬浮颗粒物细菌phoX基因丰度可能被低估.溶解氧、总氮和总磷是影响太湖phoX和phoD基因丰度的主要环境因子.  相似文献   

自然水体中悬浮物对反硝化影响的研究进展

悬浮物在自然水体（池塘、河流、湖泊等）中普遍存在,相较于上覆水,是微生物更为倾向的附着载体。相较于沉积物,更易获取硝酸盐,是水体反硝化发生的热点微区。悬浮物在水体中经历一系列碰撞、絮凝、溶解、离子交换、吸附解吸等物理化学过程,从而会引起颗粒物粒径、营养盐浓度等发生变化;悬浮物的沉降和再悬浮过程也会引起上覆水和沉积物之间的物质交换,并在好氧缺氧过渡过程中对氮转化造成影响,从而直接或者间接影响水体反硝化速率。本文概括了国内外关于悬浮物影响水体反硝化的研究进展和热点,总结了不同浓度、粒径、组成和种类的悬浮物对反硝化作用的影响,从溶解氧、功能微生物、无机氮、有机碳等环境因素重点归纳了悬浮物影响反硝化的过程,比较和分析了悬浮物反硝化的测定方法。结合当前悬浮物反硝化研究现状,建议未来可以从新兴污染物悬浮物、机理模型、测定方法等方面展开深入研究。  相似文献   

Fine particle transport dynamics in response to wood additions in a small agricultural stream     

Jennifer Drummond  Aslan Wright-Stow  Paul Franklin  John Quinn  Aaron Packman 《水文研究》2020,34(21):4128-4138

Wood additions to streams can slow water velocities and provide depositional areas for bacteria and fine particles (e.g., particulate organic carbon and nutrients sorbed to fine sediment), therefore increasing solute and particle residence times. Thus, wood additions are thought to create biogeochemical hotspots in streams. Added wood is expected to enhance in-stream heterogeneity, result in more complex flow paths, increase natural retention of fine particles and alter the geomorphic characteristics of the stream reach. Our aim was to directly measure the impact of wood additions on fine particle transport and retention processes. We conducted conservative solute and fluorescent fine particle tracer injection studies in a small agricultural stream in the Whatawhata catchment, North Island of New Zealand in two reaches—a control reach and a reach restored 1-year earlier by means of wood additions. Fine particles were quantified in surface water to assess reach-scale (channel thalweg) and habitat-scale (near wood) transport and retention. Following the injection, habitat-scale measurements were taken in biofilms on cobbles and by stirring streambed sediment to measure fine particles available for resuspension. Tracer injection results showed that fine particle retention was greater in the restored compared to the control reach, with increased habitat-scale particle counts and reach-scale particle retention. Particle deposition was positively correlated with cobble biofilm biomass. We also found that the addition of wood enhanced hydraulic complexity and increased the retention of solute and fine particles near the wood, especially near a channel spanning log. Furthermore, particles were more easily remobilized from the control reach. The mean particle size remobilized after stirring the sediments was ~5 μm, a similar size to both fine particulate organic matter and many microorganisms. These results demonstrate that particles in this size range are dynamic and more likely to remobilize and transport further downstream during bed mobilization events.  相似文献   

Grain-size Analysis of Surface Material Under Wind Erosion Using the Effective Surface Concept     

Lawrence W. Martz  Long Li 《地球表面变化过程与地形》1997,22(1):19-29

The grain mobility and roughness of a surface exposed to wind are dependent on the grain size of the surface particles. This paper deals with the temporal variation in the grain size of surface material using an analytical method based on the effective surface concept. The analysis of grain size data obtained from a wind tunnel experiment indicated that, above the threshold wind friction velocity for all surface particles, the grain-size distribution of surface particles was very similar to that of the parent material over a time period of 10 to 15 minutes. However, the mean grain size of surface particles apparently decreased over the initial time period of 2 to 3 minutes. We therefore confirm earlier studies that on a non-uniform grain bed a larger particle could be more mobile than a smaller particle if the wind friction velocity was higher than the threshold for the larger particle. However, this does not imply that the largest particle is most mobile due to the non-linear dynamics of aeolian sediment transport processes. © 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献
