This study considers an important biome in aquatic environments, the subsurface ecosystem that evolves under low mixing conditions, from a theoretical point of view. Employing a conceptual model that involves phytoplankton, a limiting nutrient and sinking detritus, we use a set of key characteristics (thickness, depth, biomass amplitude/productivity) to qualitatively and quantitatively describe subsurface biomass maximum layers (SBMLs) of phytoplankton. These SBMLs are defined by the existence of two community compensation depths in the water column, which confine the layer of net community production; their depth coincides with the upper nutricline. Analysing the results of a large ensemble of simulations with a one-dimensional numerical model, we explore the parameter dependencies to obtain fundamental steady-state relationships that connect primary production, mortality and grazing, remineralization, vertical diffusion and detrital sinking. As a main result, we find that we can distinguish between factors that determine the vertically integrated primary production and others that affect only depth and shape (thickness and biomass amplitude) of this subsurface production layer. A simple relationship is derived analytically, which can be used to estimate the steady-state primary productivity in the subsurface oligotrophic ocean. The fundamental nature of the results provides further insight into the dynamics of these “hidden” ecosystems and their role in marine nutrient cycling. 相似文献

We consider the inverse problem of permeability estimation for two-phase porous-media flow. The novel approach is based on
regularization by zonation, where the geometry and size of the regions are chosen adaptively during the optimization procedure.
To achieve this, we have utilized level-set functions to represent the permeability. The available data are sparsely distributed
in space; hence, it is reasonable to confine the estimation to coarse-scale structures. The level-set approach is able to
alter the boundaries between regions of different permeability without strict restrictions on their shape; however, when the
data are sparse, a reasonable initial guess for the permeability is required. For this task, we use adaptive multiscale permeability
estimation, which has the potential of identifying main permeability variations. These are described by a piecewise constant
function, where the constant values are attained on rectangular zones. In the current work, we develop a level-set corrector
strategy, assuming adaptive multiscale permeability estimation as a predictor. 相似文献

Compared to other phytoplankton groups, nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria generally prefer high water temperatures for growth and are therefore expected to benefit from global warming. We use a coupled biological-physical model with an advanced cyanobacteria life cycle model to compare the abundance of cyanobacteria in the Baltic Sea during two different time periods (1969–1998; 2069–2098). For the latter, we find prolonged growth and a more than twofold increase in the climatologically (30 years) averaged cyanobacteria biomass and nitrogen fixation. Additional sensitivity experiments indicate that the biological-physical feedback mechanism through light absorption becomes more important with global warming. In general, we find a nonlinear response of cyanobacteria to changes in the atmospheric forcing fields as a result of life-cycle related feedback mechanisms. Overall, the sensitivity of the cyanobacteria-driven system suggests that biological-physical and life-cycle related feedback mechanisms are important and must therefore be included in future projection studies. 相似文献

For centuries, Bermuda has been challenged with wastewater management for the protection of human and environmental health. By quantifying the δ15N of the common sea fan Gorgonia ventalina sampled from 30 sites throughout Bermuda we show that sewage-derived nitrogen is detectable on nearshore coral reefs and declines across the lagoon to the outer rim. We also sampled gorgonians from two museum collections representing a 50y time-series (1958–2008). These samples revealed an increase in δ15N of > 4.0‰ until the mid-1970s, after which δ15N values slowly declined by ~ 2.0‰. A δ15N chronology from a gorgonian skeleton exhibited a similar decline over the last 30–40 years of approximately 0.6‰. We conclude that policies have been effective in reducing sewage impacts to Bermudian reefs. However, significant sources of sewage pollution persist and are likely have a strong impact on harbor and nearshore coral communities and human health. 相似文献

Lagrangian analysis by clustering 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
We propose a new method for obtaining average velocities and eddy diffusivities from Lagrangian data. Rather than grouping
the drifter-derived velocities in geographical bins, we group them by nearest-neighbor distance using a clustering algorithm.
This yields sets with approximately the same number of observations, covering unequal areas. A major advantage is that, because
the number of observations is the same for the clusters, the statistical accuracy is more uniform than with geographical bins.
We illustrate the technique using synthetic data from a stochastic model, employing a realistic mean flow. The latter represents
the surface currents in the Nordic Seas and is strongly inhomogeneous in space. We use the clustering algorithm to extract
the mean velocities and diffusivities and compare the results with the corresponding quantities from the stochastic model.
We perform a similar comparison with the means and diffusivities obtained with geographical bins. Clustering is more successful
at capturing the mean flow and improves convergence in the eddy diffusivity estimates. We discuss both the advantages and
shortcomings of the new method. 相似文献

The Malay Peninsula lies on two continental blocks, Sibumasu and East Malaya, which are intruded by granitoids in two provinces: the Main Range and Eastern. Previous models propose that Permian–Triassic granitoids are subduction-related and syn-to post-collisional. We present 752 U–Pb analyses that were carried out on zircons from river sands in the Malay Peninsula; of these, 243 grains were selected for Hf-isotope analyses. Our data suggest a more complex Sibumasu–East Malaya collision history. 176Hf/177Hfi ratios reveal that Permian–Triassic zircons were sourced from three magmatic suites: (a) Permian crustally-derived granitoids, (b) Early-Middle Triassic granitoids with mixed mantle–crust sources, and (c) Late Triassic crustally-derived granitoids. This suggests three Permian–Triassic episodes of magmatism in the Malay Peninsula, two of which occurred in the Eastern Province. Although the exact timing of the Sibumasu–East Malaya collision remains unresolved, current data suggest that it occurred before the Late Triassic, probably in Late Permian–Early Triassic. Our data also indicate that Sibumasu and East Malaya basements are chronologically heterogeneous, but predominantly of Proterozoic age. Some basement may be Neoarchaean but there is no evidence for basement older than 2.8 Ga. Finally, we show that Hf-isotope signatures of Triassic zircons can be used as provenance indicators. 相似文献
