The customary representation of climate using sample moments is generally biased due to the noticeably nonstationary behaviour of many climate series. In this study, we introduce a moment-free climate representation based on a statistical model fitted to a long-term daily air temperature anomaly series. This model allows us to separate the climate and weather scale variability in the series. As a result, the climate scale can be characterized using the mean annual cycle of series and local air temperature tolerance, where the latter is computed using the fitted model. The representation of weather scale variability is specified using the frequency and the range of outliers based on the tolerance. The scheme is illustrated using five long-term air temperature records observed by different European meteorological stations. 相似文献

Short core stratigraphy of total N, P, Zn, Hg and diatoms were investigated in the varved sediment of Lake Heinälampi, a small 8 m deep pond in East Finland. The sediment has recently changed from organic mud to minerogenic silt. The presence of varved sediment offers independent control for 210Pb and 137Cs dates and these are in good agreement: the sediment quality initially changed around the year 1930 due to increaed field erosion, and the inflow of mineral matter was further increased by ditching of paludified forests in 1980.Diatom analysis reveals that eutrophication has occurred before and concurrent with the sedimentary change. The causes of eutrophication and the increased levels of Zn and Hg are discussed. 相似文献

A short-core paleolimnological investigation was carried out to acquire knowledge of the recent history of Lake Pihlajavesi, Saimaa Lake complex, and define its natural state before cultural disturbances. In the natural state, with negligible human interference, the basin was oligotrophic and oxygen-rich. The bioproductivity in the littoral zone was low and the profundal benthic quality was good according to Wiederholm's Benthic Quality Index.Based on diatom analyses, no significant changes have taken place in the phytoplankton communities during the past decades. Sedimentary chironomid communities reveal, however, slight changes on profundal life in the Pihlajavedenselkä basin, near the main pollution sources, whereas there were no significant changes in the outer basin. Three stages could be distinguished in the pollution history of Pihlajavedenselkä: (1) 'The natural state' up until the 1960s, (2) 'the period of increasing loading' during the 1960s and 1970s, and (3) 'the recovery of the basin' during the past two decades.Untreated municipal waste water from the town of Savonlinna was partly responsible for the commencement of eutrophication in the Pihlajavedenselkä basin in the 1960s. The paper and pulp industry in Varkaus, some 40 kilometres upstream from Lake Pihlajanvesi, has also increased eutrophication, especially during the worst period of water quality in the 1960s and 1970s. More effective waste water purification has markedly reduced effluent loading and led to a general recovery of the area. Neverthless the effects of slight nutrient loading can still be seen, especially in littoral bioproductivity.Our paleolimnological data indicate that the present ecosystem will offer living conditions for the endemic Saimaa ringed seal population that are similar to those that existed prior to human disturbances. 相似文献

The incidence of hepatoma, epidermal and other forms of cancerous growths in fish is well documented (Halver, 1967; Matsushima & Sugimura, 1976; Dawe et al., 1964). In fish, as in mammals, cancer may be a result of metabolically activated carcinogens. In mammals the primary enzyme system involved in the activation of environmental carcinogens is the cytochrome P-450 linked mixed-function oxidase (MFO). The hepatic microsomes of the species offish studied contain variable levels of cytochrome P-450. Liver microsomes of the trout Salmo trutta lacustris are surprisingly active in metabolising benzo-[a]pyrene (BP) and other compounds preferentially metabolised by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-specific cytochrome P-450. This finding may be significant, because it is apparent that the detrimental effects of PAHs require metabolic activation.We have studied the production of reactive intermediates of BP by following their binding to DNA and by measuring the specific nucleotide-BP metabolite complexes by chromatography. Untreated S. trutta liver microsomes catalyse the production of reactive intermediates of BP which bind to nucleotides of DNA at a rate that is 3–4 times higher than that catalysed by control rat liver microsomes. The most prominent DNA-BP metabolite adducts produced by trout liver microsomes are the nucleoside adduct of BP-7, 8-diol-9,10-epoxide and 9-OH-BP-4,5-oxide and other phenol oxides. In contrast to the trout, another fish species, roach (Rutilus rutilus), has extremely low activity. Although the in vitro binding of BP to DNA is not strictly correlated to in vivo binding or biological effects, our results show that reactive intermediates are formed by trout liver and thus the prerequisite for chemical carcinogenesis or mutagenesis is ful filled. This is further supported by the fact that in Ames's test, trout liver preparations produce mutagenic products from promutagens. 相似文献

Effects of pruning on biomass growth in Prosopis juliflora were examined under dryland conditions in the Sudan. Growth parameters were followed for a total period of 32 months and water content, and gas exchange measurements were carried out. Heavily pruned trees yielded more than six times larger usable wood volume and produced 60% more leaf biomass than the control. The water status in pruned trees was improved which also had a more efficient CO2 assimilation rate, associated with higher stomatal conductance. The results and their implications for the management of sparsely spaced P. juliflora are discussed in relation to agroforestry. 相似文献

Autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) models are used to compare long-range temporal variability of the total solar irradiance (TSI) at the top of the atmosphere (TOA) and surface air temperature series. The comparison shows that one and the same type of the model is applicable to represent the TSI and air temperature series. In terms of the model type surface air temperature imitates closely that for the TSI. This may mean that currently no other forcing to the climate system is capable to change the random walk type variability established by the varying activity of the rotating Sun. The result should inspire more detailed examination of the dependence of various climate series on short-range fluctuations of TSI. 相似文献

Contaminant exposure and effects in Baltic ringed and grey seals as assessed by biomarkers 总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3

The Baltic Sea ecosystem has suffered from a heavy pollutant load for more than three decades. Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and heavy metals have been of most concern due to their persistence and toxic properties. Ringed seals (Phoca hispida baltica) and grey seals (Halichoerus grypus) living in the Baltic Sea have been suffering from pathological impairments, including reproductive disturbances, which have resulted in a depressed reproductive capacity. We investigated several biochemical parameters as potential biomarkers for exposure to and effects of the contaminant load in the Baltic seals. Seals from less polluted areas were used as reference material in terms of the pollution load. In both Baltic seal populations, the levels of some biochemical parameters diverged from those in the reference seals, and some of these showed a clear correlation with the individual contaminant load. Of the potential bioindicators, we propose cytochrome P4501A activity and vitamin E levels, in blubber or plasma, as exposure biomarkers for polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) in both species. The arylhydrocarbon receptor-mediated chemical-activated luciferase gene expression (CALUX) response reflects the whole PCB and DDT burden in ringed seals. Retinyl palmitate (vitamin A) levels showed a negative correlation with the individual POP load, and is proposed as potential effect biomarkers for the depletion of the vitamin A stores. As the nutritional levels of both vitamin A and E have an impact on the vitamin levels in the seals, more information on the dietary vitamin levels is needed before any conclusions can be drawn. As the relationship between biochemical parameters and contaminants varied between the two species, species-specific characteristics has to be considered when monitoring the health status and possible toxic effects of the contaminant load in ringed and grey seals. 相似文献

Evolution of continental crust and mantle heterogeneity: Evidence from Hf isotopes 总被引：14，自引：0，他引：14

We present initial 176Hf/177 Hf ratios for many samples of continental crust 3.7-0.3 Gy old. Results are based chiefly on zircons (1% Hf) and whole rocks: zircons are shown to be reliable carriers of essentially the initial Hf itself when properly chosen on the basis of U-Pb studies. Pre-3.0 Gy gneisses were apparently derived from an unfractionated mantle, but both depleted and undepleted mantle are evident as magma sources from 2.9 Gy to present. This mantle was sampled mainly from major crustal growth episodes 2.8, 1.8 and 0.7 Gy ago, all of which show gross heterogeneity of 176Hf/177Hf in magma sources from Hf=0 to +14, or about 60% of the variability of the present mantle.The approximate Hf=2Nd relationship in ancient and modern igneous rocks shows that 176Lu/177Hf fractionates in general twice as much as 147Sm/144Nd in mantle melting processes. This allows an estimation of the relative value of the unknown bulk solid/liquid distribution coefficient for Hf. DLu/DHf= 2.3 holds for most mantle source regions. For garnet to be an important residual mantle phase, it must hold Hf strongly in order to preserve Hf-Nd isotopic relationships.The ancient Hf initials are consistent with only a small proportion of recycled older cratons in new continental crust, and with quasi-continuous, episodic growth of the continental crust with time. However, recycling of crust less than 150 My old cannot realistically be detected using Hf initials. The mantle shows clearly the general positive Hf resulting from a residual geochemical state at least back to 2.9 Gy ago, and seems to have repeatedly possessed a similar degree of heterogeneity, rather than a continuously-developing depletion. This is consistent with a complex dynamic disequilibrium model for the creation, maintenance and destruction of heterogeneity in the mantle. 相似文献

Initial Nd isotopic ratios are reported for 23 samples representing magmatic crustal components in the Svecokarelian terrain of South Finland. U-Pb zircon ages are determined for all geologic units, involving 21 separate upper concordia intercept ages based on more than 100 UP-b analyses. The ages range for all the rocks from 1.90 Ga for primitve plutonic rocks to 1.79 Ga for post-tectonic intrusions. The well-known gabbro-diorite-tonalite-trondhjemite association of the Kalanti district appears to consist of components with different ages: trondhjemites are probably 1.90 Ga or older, diorites/tonalites belong to the main Svecokarelian plutonic eposide at 1.89-1.87 Ga, and at least some gabbro has a post-tectonic age of 1.80 Ga.
Nd (T) values range between +2 to +3 for meta-andesites, large gabbros and primitive granitoids to –0.5 for more evolved granitoids. A magma source with
Nd of at least +2 to +3 was available during 1.90 to 1.87 Ga, but evolved granitoids have
Nd close to zero. The preferred interpretation is that depleted mantle with
Nd=+4 to +5 was present beneath the Svecokarelian crust forming during 1.9-1.8 Ga, and that all rocks have been affected more or less by addition of an Archean crustal component with
Nd=–9 to –13. The primitive rocks with
Nd=+2 to + 3 were only slightly affected, while granitoids with
Nd close to zero include a 10% Archean component. The widespread nature of the Archean addition and the distance of up to 500 km to actual exposed Archean crust make it most realistic that the Archean component was added to the form of sediments delivered by subducting Proterozoic ocean crust. The plutonic rocks of the Finnish Svecokarelian crust in areas away from Archean cratons consist of 90% newly mantle-derived material. 相似文献
