We have simulated the spatial relationship between temperature change and long-term potential vegetation cover dynamics. The results show that the potential vegetation and birch forest range is highly sensitive to the temperature conditions. Around 3000 BP the simulated potential vegetation cover began to decrease and at the time of the Viking settlement, in AD 874 (1076 BP ), vegetation and forest cover was already in decline. The climate driven decline continued to an unprecedented low potential for vegetation for the Holocene that lasted c. 600 years, i.e. between AD c . 1300 and 1900. These interpretations are further supported by geomorphological and pollen data. 相似文献

Iceland is facing severe land degradation in many parts of the country. This study aims to increase the understanding of the complex interactions and interconnectivity between the critical factors that help maintain the land degradation processes in sub-arctic environments. A holistic approach in the form of a causal loop diagram (CLD) is applied for diagnosing the influencing factors. To further study the relationship between vegetation cover and its degradation, a dynamic model that uses a long-term temperature data as the main indicator function is constructed to simulate potential vegetation cover during the Holocene. The results depict an oscillating vegetation cover. Gradual degradation in potential vegetation cover begins ca. 3000 BP and accelerates greatly after ca. 2500 BP. From the time of the Norse settlement in the latter halve of the 9th century to present time, the simulated vegetation cover retreats ca. 25% in relation to climatic cooling. 相似文献

An evaluation of acid deposition on cation leaching and weathering rates of an Andosol and a Cambisol 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
An evaluation of the response of an Andosol and a Cambisol to acid deposition and weathering rates was studied by using a controlled laboratory leaching experiment. Both soils where derived from mafic parent material, a Histic Andosol from Western Iceland and a Cambisol from North East Scotland. De-ionized water and water acidified with H2SO4 (pH 3) was leached through reconstructed soil columns to simulate 34 years of precipitation.Acidic input increased cation leaching and weathering rates in both soil types and reduced pH levels. The Andosol proved generally to have higher weathering rates, leaching potential, ion exchange and acid-buffering capacity as well as maintaining a relatively steady pH despite intense acidic input. This was due to differences in parent material and mineral composition. The Andosol was developed from basaltic volcanic tephra, which had higher dissolution rates due to its amorphous mineral structures. The Cambisol was developed from gabbro with more stable mineral structures. 相似文献
