Historical phosphorus (P) dynamics were studied using sediment cores from three oligotrophic, acidic lakes in Maine, USA. Long-term oligotrophy of these lakes is consistent with high sediment aluminum (as Al(OH)₃) concentrations, as Al inhibits internal P loading, even under reducing conditions. The role of microbially-mediated reactions in controlling redox conditions was evaluated by estimating microbial biomass and relative abundance of specific functional groups. Sediments were fractionated using a sequential chemical extraction technique and all lakes met criteria for P retention based on threshold sediment concentrations of Al, Fe, and P fractions as determined by (Kopáček et al. (2005) Limnol Oceanogr 52: 1147–1155). Sediment NaOH-extractable molybdate-reactive P (rP) and non-reactive P (nrP) represent P associated with non-reducible phases, and organic matter-related P, respectively. Total P (TP) does not decrease with sediment depth, as is typical of eutrophic lake sediments; however, nrP/TP decreases and rP/TP increases for all three lakes, indicating nrP mineralization without any significant upward diffusion and release into the hypolimnion; i.e. diagenesis of P is conservative within the sediment. Two diagenetic models were developed based on nrP and rP concentrations as a function of sediment age. The first model assumes a first-order decay of nrP, the rate coefficient being a function of time, and represents irreversible nrP mineralization, where the produced PO₄ is permanently sequestered by the sediment. The second model assumes a first-order reversible transformation between nrP and rP, representing biotic mineralization of organic P followed by incorporation of inorganic P into microbial biomass. Both models reflect preservation of TP with no loss to overlying water. The rate coefficients give us insight into qualities of the sediment that have affected mineralization and sequestration of phosphorus throughout the ²¹⁰Pb-dateable history of each lake. Similar models could be constructed for other lakes to help reconstruct their trophic histories. Paleolimnological reconstruction of the sediment P record in oligotrophic lakes shows mineralization of nrP to rP, but unlike the case in eutrophic lake sediments, sediment TP is preserved in these sediments.  相似文献   

Using Different Standardized Methods for Species Identification: A Case Study Using Beaks from Three Ommastrephid Species   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

The cephalopod beak is a vital hard structure with a stable configuration and has been widely used for the identification of cephalopod species. This study was conducted to determine the best standardization method for identifying different species by measuring 12 morphological variables of the beaks of Illex argentinus, Ommastrephes bartramii, and Dosidicus gigas that were collected by Chinese jigging vessels. To remove the effects of size, these morphometric variables were standardized using three methods. The average ratios of the upper beak morphological variables and upper crest length of O. bartramii and D. gigas were found to be greater than those of I. argentinus. However, for lower beaks, only the average of LRL (lower rostrum length)/LCL (lower crest length), LRW (lower rostrum width)/LCL, and LLWL (lower lateral wall length)/LCL of O. bartramii and D. gigas were greater than those of I. argentinus. The ratios of beak morphological variables and crest length were found to be all significantly different among the three species (P < 0.001). Among the three standardization methods, the correct classification rate of stepwise discriminant analysis (SDA) was the highest using the ratios of beak morphological variables and crest length. Compared with hood length, the correct classification rate was slightly higher when using beak variables standardized by crest length using an allometric model. The correct classification rate of the lower beak was also found to be greater than that of the upper beak. This study indicates that the ratios of beak morphological variables to crest length could be used for interspecies and intraspecies identification. Meanwhile, the lower beak variables were found to be more effective than upper beak variables in classifying beaks found in the stomachs of predators.  相似文献   

Evaluating impacts of pulse fishing on the effectiveness of seasonal closure

Seasonal fishing closures are often used in fisheries management to conserve overfished stocks.As one of the unintended consequences,fishermen often contend for maximizing catches immediately after reopening fisheries.The resultant large catch landings in a short time period(i.e.,pulse fishing)may undermine the benefit of closure.We implemented an end-to-end model OSMOSE-JZB(Object-oriented Simulator of Marine ec OSystem Exploitation OSMOSE)modelling ecosystem in the Jiaozhou Bay located in China to evaluate the impact of pulse fishing on the effectiveness of seasonal closure at levels of fish community,population,and individual.Our study demonstrated that the three-month closure was successful in conserving fish stocks.There were small variations on ecological indicators(i.e.,total biomass of the community,mean trophic level of the community,mean trophic level of the catch,and Shannon-Wiener biodiversity index)when pulse fishing occurred.Pulse fishing seemed not to result in a great shift in community structure.Compared to other species,the biomass of two large predatory fishes were more susceptible to pulse fishing.Pulse fishing could change the pressure of predators to fish stocks via food webs,especially for young individuals.Our simulations indicate that we can improve the effectiveness of seasonal closure by managing pulse fishing.Although the results derived in this study may be specific to the target ecosystem,the general approach is applicable to other ecosystems when evaluating fishing impacts.  相似文献   

基于Argo实测流场数据对5套海洋模式产品中赤道太平洋中层流的评估          下载免费PDF全文

周永远  闫运伟  邢小罡  柴扉 《海洋学研究》2020,38(3):1-9

本文以Argo轨迹资料计算的赤道太平洋中层流(1 000 m深度流场)作为实测数据,从空间结构特征和时间变化特征两方面对5套常用海洋模式产品(OFES、LICOM、HYCOM、ECCO2和SODA)进行了评估。Argo流场显示赤道太平洋中层流呈条带状结构,且存在明显的西强东弱和南强北弱特征。此外,赤道太平洋中层流存在明显的季节变化且其相位关于赤道对称。5套模式产品的评估结果表明,SODA流场与实测流场最接近,其时空变化特征都与实测流场基本一致;其次是ECCO2流场,除流场动能偏小以外,其他各方面都与实测流场一致;OFES、LICOM和HYCOM流场的模拟效果较差,但都能再现条带状结构特征。  相似文献   

基于复合模型的西南大西洋阿根廷滑柔鱼（Illex argentinus）时空分布研究     

汪金涛  陈新军  陈勇 《海洋学报(英文版)》2018,37(8):31-37

本文利用2003-2011年西南大西洋阿根廷滑柔鱼渔业数据和海洋环境数据，包括海表温度（sea surface temperature， SST），海面高度（sea surface height， SSH）和叶绿素浓度（chlorophyll a， Chl a），开发基于广义加性模型（GAM）和神经网络模型（NNM）的复合模型研究滑柔鱼资源时空分布。GAM用于选择关键影响因子，并分析与单位捕捞努力量渔获量（catch per unit effort， CPUE）的关系，NNM用于建立关键影响因子与CPUE之间的预报模型。结果表明：GAM选择的影响因子的偏差解释率为53.8%，空间变量（经度和纬度），环境变量（SST、SSH、Chl a）均匀CPUE之间存在显著相关性。CPUE与SST和SSH之间为非线性关系，与Chl a之间为线性关系。NNM模型的MSE和ARV较低，其精度高且稳定。此复合模型也能够解释解释西南大西洋阿根廷滑柔鱼时空变化趋势和迁徙模式。  相似文献   

自然死亡率变化对黄海蓝点马鲛渔业管理的影响     

陈宁  张崇良  孙铭  徐宾铎  薛莹  任一平  陈勇 《海洋学报(英文版)》2018,37(8):21-30

传统的渔业资源评估方法对数据有一定的要求，而现有的许多渔业缺乏相关数据，造成了渔业评估和管理上的障碍。特别是自然死亡率，由于观测和计算的困难，研究中一般通过经验公式等方法进行假话，而不同来源的数据和估算方法的结果存在较大差异，可能导致在渔业资源评估和管理中很大的不确定性。本研究以蓝点马鲛（Scomberomorus niphonius）为例，利用MSE比较了22种基于有限数据的渔业管理规程（MP），筛选出DCAC、SPMSY、curE75、minlenLopt1 4种对于M不确定性较为稳健的的管理方法，并针对不同年代的自然死亡率以及通过不同计算方法得出的自然死亡率对这4种MP进行了管理策略评价。结果表明：M自1980s至今的不同年代间有显著降低趋势，该变化对MP管理效果产生了较强影响。随着M降低，种群B>0.5BMSY的概率显著上升，而过度捕捞可能性在不同MP间有方向性的差异。M变化对对curE75、minlenLopt1的长期产量的影响较小，而对DCAC、SPMSY的AAVY<15%的可能性变化较大，即降低产量的波动。不同M估算方法的估计值相差不大，对MP管理影响不明显。综合结果来看，Cur75受自然死亡率不确定性影响较小，对于渔业资源的开发和保护两个方面有着最好的权衡，最适用于我国蓝点马鲛渔业的管理。  相似文献   

Sm−Nd dating of multiple garnet growth events in an arc-continent collision zone,northwestern U.S. Cordillera

Integrated petrologic and Sm–Nd isotopic studies in garnet amphibolites along the Salmon River suture zone, western Idaho, delineate two periods of amphibolite grade metamorphism separated by at least 16 million years. In one amphibolite,P–T studies indicate a single stage of metamorphism with final equilibration at 600°C and 8–9 kbar. The Sm–Nd isotopic compositions of plagioclase, apatite, hornblende, and garnet define a precise, 8-point isochron of 128±3 Ma (MSWD=1.2) interpreted as mineral growth at the metamorphic peak. A⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar age for this hornblende indicates cooling through 525°C at 119±2 Ma. In a nearby amphibolite, garnets with a two-stage growth history consist of inclusion-rich cores surrounded by discontinuous, inclusion-free overgrowths. Temporal constraints for core and overgrowth development were derived from Sm–Nd garnet — whole rock pairs in which the garnet fractions consist of varying proportions of inclusion-free to inclusion-bearing fragments. Three garnet fractions with apparent ages of 144, 141, and 136 Ma are thought to represent mixtures between late Jurassic (pre-144 Ma) inherited radiogenic components preserved within garnet cores and early Cretaceous (128 Ma) garnet overgrowths. These observations confirm the resilience of garnet to diffusive exchange of trace elements during polymetamorphism at amphibolite facies conditions. Our geochronologic results show that metamorphism of arc-derived rocks in western Idaho was episodic and significantly older than in arc rocks along the eastern margin of the Wrangellian Superterrane in British Columbia and Alaska. The pre-144 Ma event may be an expression of the late Jurassic amalgamation of marginal oceanic arc-related terranes (e.g., Olds Ferry, Baker, Wallowa) during the initial phases of their collision with North American rocks. Peak metamorphism at 128 Ma reflects tectonic burial along the leading edge of the Wallowa arc terrane during its final penetration and suturing to cratonic North America.  相似文献   

Paleolimnology of McNearney lake: an acidic lake in northern Michigan     

Robert B. Cook  Russell G. Kreis Jr.  John C. Kingston  Keith E. Camburn  Stephen A. Norton  Myron J. Mitchell  Brian Fry  Linda C. K. Shane 《Journal of Paleolimnology》1990,3(1):13-34

McNearney Lake is an acidic (pH=4.4) lake in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan with low acid neutralizing capacity (ANC=-38 eq L^-1) and high SO _inf4 ^sup2- and aluminium concentrations. Oligotrophy is indicated by high Secchi transparency and by low chlorophyll a, total phosphorus, and total nitrogen concentrations. The lake water is currently acidic because base cations are supplied to the lake water at a low rate and because SO _inf4 ^sup2- from atmospheric deposition was not appreciably retained by the lake sediments or watershed and was present in the water column.This interdisciplinary paleolimnological study indicates that McNearney Lake is naturally acidic and has been so since at least 4000 years B.P., as determined from inferred-pH techniques based on contemporary diatom-pH relationships. Predicted pH values ranged from 4.7 to 5.0 over the 4000-year stratigraphy. Considerable shifts in species composition and abundance were observed in diatom stratigraphy, but present-day distributions indicate that all abundant taxa most frequently occur under acidic conditions, suggesting that factors other than pH are responsible for the shifts. The diatom-inferred pH technique as applied to McNearney Lake has too large an uncertainly and is not sensitive enough to determine the subtle recent changes in lakewater pH expected from changes in atmospheric deposition because: (1) McNearney Lake has the lowest pH in the contemporary diatom data set in the region and confidence intervals for pH predictions increase at the extremes of regressions; (2) other factors in addition to pH may be responsible for the diatom species distribution in the lake and in the entire northern Great Lakes region; (3) McNearney Lake has a well-buffered pH as a consequence of its low pH and high aluminium concentrations and is not expected to exhibit a large pH change as a result of changes in atmospheric deposition; and (4) atmospheric deposition in the region is modest and would not cause a pH shift large enough to be discernable in McNearney Lake.Elevated atmospheric deposition is indicated in recent sediments by Pb, V, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon accumulation rates and to a lesser extent by those of Cu and Zn; however, these accumulation rates are substantially lower than those observed for acidified lakes in the northeastern United States. Although atmospheric loadings of materials associated with fossil fuel combustion have recently increased to McNearney Lake and apparently are continuing, the present study of the diatom subfossil record does not indicate a distinct, recent acidification (pH decrease).Order of the first two authors is alphabetical  相似文献   

Glacial Geomorphologic Maps of Llanquihue Drift in the Area of the Southern Lake District, Chile   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

Bjørn Andersen  George H. Denton  & Thomas V. Lowell 《Geografiska Annaler: Series A, Physical Geography》1999,81(2):155-166

We present four glacial geomorphic maps of Llanquihue drift in the region of the southern Lake District, Seno Reloncaví, and the eastern half of northern Isla Grande de Chiloé, Chile. These maps form the basis of an interdisciplinary research project to establish a paleoclimate reconstruction of the last glacial cycle in the middle latitudes of the Southern Hemisphere. Therefore we stressed morphologic rather than lithologic units in our mapping program in order to delineate the glacial geomorphic forms that are surface manifestations of former ice-marginal fluctuations. The resulting maps show the lobate shape and low surface slopes of the former piedmont glaciers that, at the last glacial maximum, spread westward from the Andes into the Valle Centralto fill Lago Puyehue, Lago Rupanco, Lago Llanquihue, Seno Reloncaví, Golfo de Ancud, and northern Gulfo Corcovado. These maps are the framework to tie together in this volume the stratigraphic sections and radiocarbon samples from within the Llanquihue moraine belts as well as the pollen cores from surface mires on the belts.  相似文献   

Abrupt Vegetation and Climate Changes During the Last Glacial Maximumand Last Termination in The Chilean Lake District: A Case Study from Canal De La Puntilla (41°S)     

P.I. Moreno  T.V. Lowell  G.L. Jacobson Jr  & G.H. Denton 《Geografiska Annaler: Series A, Physical Geography》1999,81(2):285-311

ABSTRACT. Multiple overlapping and replicate pollen stratigraphies from Canal de la Puntilla (40°57’09”S, 72°54’18”W, 120 m elevation) reveal that a Nothofagus dombeyi-type parkland occupied the Valle Central of the Chilean Lake District during the portion of the Last Glacial Maximum between 20,200 and about 14,600 ¹⁴C yr BP . Dominating this landscape was Nothofagus dombeyi-type and Gramineae, accompanied by taxa commonly found today in Subantarctic environments and above the Andean tree-line in the Lake District (Perezia-type, Valeriana, and Huperzia selago), along with cushion bog taxa characteristic of Magellanic Moorlands (Donatia fascicularis and Astelia pumila). Within this open landscape Nothofagus dombeyi-type expanded between 20,200 and 15,800 ¹⁴C yr BP , interrupted by a brief reversal between 19,200 and 18,800 ¹⁴ C yr BP and followed by a prominent increase in Gramineae pollen between 15,800 and about 14,600 ¹⁴C yr BP . A major rise of Nothofagus dombeyi-type began at about 14,600 ¹⁴C yr BP , followed by decline in non-arboreal taxa and a remarkable expansion of North Patagonian Rain Forest taxa in pulses centered at 14,200 and 13,000 ¹⁴C yr BP . Podocarpus nubigena expanded between 12,200 and 9800 ¹⁴C yr BP , along with increases in Misodendrum and Maytenus disticha-type between 11,000 and 9800 ¹⁴C yr BP. Paleovegetation records suggest that mean annual temperature was 6–7°C colder than at present during the coldest episodes between 20,200 and about 14,600 ¹⁴C yr BP , with twice the modern annual precipitation between 20,200 and 13,000 ¹⁴C yr BP, suggesting a northward shift and intensification of westerly stormtracks. Slight climate warming occurred between 20,200 and 15,800 ¹⁴C yr BP , interrupted by cooling events at 19,200 and 15,800 ¹⁴C yr BP . The initial warming of the last termination started at 14,600 ¹⁴C yr BP , followed by warming pulses at 14,200 and 13,000 ¹⁴C yr BP. These events brought glacial conditions to a cool-temperate climate, slightly cooler and wetter than modern climate, accounting for a total temperature recovery of ≥5°C by about 13,000 ¹⁴C yr BP . A general reversal in trend is inferred with cooling events at 12,200 and 11,000 ¹⁴C yr BP .  相似文献
