The gully systems develop a compact network dissecting the loess cover of the NW part of the Lublin Upland. They are overgrown by dense and multi-storey forest assemblages. It is very difficult to apply teledetection techniques, GPS positioning, and geodesic tools, such as a laser rangefinder or total station, for monitoring of gully development. The detailed research, involving the comparison of traditional and modern methods, was conducted in a gully with a secondary erosional dissection, developing in the gully bottom with varied intensity for the last 15 years. In the period of comparative research (2012/2013), the rate of development of the erosional dissection was measured by means of traditional methods as well as a Leica HDS 7000 laser scanner. 3D laser scanning permitted precise terrain modelling and the assessment of qualitative and quantitative spatial changes. This paper compares the results of three measurement campaigns. The analysis showed intensive development of the dissection, manifested in an increase in its volume (37 %), retreat of the erosion scarp (32 m), deep erosion (19 %), and lateral erosion (27 %). Registered moderate snowmelt in 2013 caused the volume dissection to increase by 57 m³, mainly as a result of the gully bottom scouring. During heavy rainfalls in June, the landforms were widened by a further 217 m³ and observed deepening and widening of erosive potholes. The prevalence of deep erosion resulted in the transformation back into a V-shaped cross section. A total of 37.3 Mg km⁻² of material was discharged from the gully catchment during snowmelt runoffs in 2013. A precipitation event in June 2013 caused the discharge of 856.9 Mg km⁻² of material from the catchment. The obtained results confirm that snowmelt erosion determines the spatial development of perennial gullies, but the volume of material discharged from the catchment depends on the occurrence of extreme precipitation during the warm season.

Changeability of Movable Bed‐Surface Particles in Natural,Gravel‐Bed Channels and Its Relation to Bedload Grain Size Distribution (Scott River,Svalbard)          下载免费PDF全文

Waldemar Kociuba  Grzegorz Janicki 《Geografiska Annaler: Series A, Physical Geography》2015,97(3):507-521

The presented paper analyses the variability of grain size distribution parameters of bedload transported by the gravel‐bed Scott River (Svalbard) draining a glacier catchment with an area of 10 km². The grain size distribution analysis is one of the basic elements of identification of the fluvial transport mechanisms in gravel‐bed rivers. It is used for the determination of threshold values for bedload movement. It is also treated as an important indicator of the origin, routes of distribution, and conditions of transport and deposition of fluvial bedload. The field study in a natural proglacial gravel‐bed channel was carried out at two reaches in the mouth section of Scott River. The study revealed relatively high temporal variability and similar mean parameters of grain size distribution in conditions of low discharges. Bedload transport rates reached a mean of 71.9–76.0 kg d^?1 in channel cross‐section. Bedload texture was dominated by gravels with a proportional contribution of the fine‐grained fraction along with very fine‐grained gravels (8‐2 mm) of 38.8%. The medium‐grained fraction (16‐8 mm) constituted 33.7%, with a lower contribution from the coarse‐grained fraction (32‐16 mm) of 23.2%, and the very coarse‐grained fraction (64‐32 mm) of 4.4%. Two periods in the course of bedload transport and distribution of grain size distribution parameters were distinguished based on variation of hydro‐meteorological conditions. The first half of the measurement period was distinguished by significantly higher values of daily loads and increased contribution of the coarse‐grained and very coarse‐grained fraction (28–31% and 6.2–6.6%, respectively). During this time, the river discharged up to 94% of bedload. This resulted in a clear tendency for riverbed scouring. The second half was distinguished by generally low daily bedload transport rates (<10 kg d^?1), an increase in contribution of fine‐ and very fine‐grained gravels (42–55.6%), and a change in the tendency to aggradation. Grain size indices were more varied, and grains were usually finer and better sorted. Selective transport processes, often related to redeposition, were dominant in the channel. Along with an increase in flow velocity, conditions for material deposition became more variable. This was manifested in weaker sorting and an increase in grain diameter.  相似文献   

Mechanics of a sandy subsoil subjected to cyclic loadings     

Andrzej Sawicki  Waldemar Swidzinski 《国际地质力学数值与分析法杂志》1989,13(5):511-529

A simple model for compaction of a sand, that may be useful in various geotechnical applications is presented. The model has been formulated in terms of the cyclic stress and strain amplitudes. The compaction properties of a dry sand are characterized by a common compaction curve described by two coefficients. The second aim of this paper is to show some applications of the theory proposed. The attention has been restricted to the two extreme cases of practical importance, namely to the behaviour of a dry sand (or a saturated sand but in free draining conditions), and to the behaviour of saturated sand in undrained conditions. Some numerical algorithms showing how to deal with those problems are presented and illustrated on the following examples: settlement and pore pressure generation in a soil stratum subjected to an earthquake, settlement of a foundation, pore pressure generation and liquefaction in a sea-bed. The results obtained suggest that the model proposed, as well as a method of dealing with boundary value problems can serve as a useful tool for the analysis of a sandy subsoil subjected to cyclic loadings.  相似文献   

Reaction of soil enzymes and spring barley to copper chloride and copper sulphate     

Jadwiga Wyszkowska  Edyta Boros-Lajszner  Waldemar Lajszner  Jan Kucharski 《Environmental Earth Sciences》2017,76(11):403

Study was carried out to compare the effect of the degree of contamination of soil with copper on the soil enzyme activity, depending on the type of chemical compound with which a metal reaches the soil and on the method of soil use. An effect of increasing doses of copper on growth and the development of spring barley has been studied. The study was carried out as a pot experiment on two types of soil: loamy sand and light loam. Copper was introduced to soil as copper(II) sulphate(VI) and copper(II) chloride at four doses: 150, 300, 450 and 600 mg Cu²⁺ kg^?1 d.m. of soil. Soil without copper was used as a control sample. The experiment showed that contamination of soil with copper applied as CuCl₂ and CuSO₄·5H₂O upset the homeostasis of soil. Dehydrogenases and urease were the most sensitive to contamination of soil with Cu²⁺, both as copper(II) chloride and as copper(II) sulphate(VI), and acid phosphatase and alkaline phosphatase were the least sensitive. Greater changes in enzymatic activity were observed in loamy sand than in light loam. The differences in the impact of copper(II) sulphate(VI) and copper(II) chloride on the soil microbiome were relatively small, because mean ED₅₀ for copper(II) chloride was 341 mg Cu²⁺ kg^?1 d.m. of soil, and for copper(II) sulphate(VI) it was 364 mg Cu²⁺ kg^?1 d.m. of soil. This inhibitory effect of copper persisted throughout the period of the experiment. The sensitivity of spring barley to copper compounds was lower than the enzymes under study.  相似文献   

Electrical structure of the upper mantle beneath Central Europe: Results of the CEMES project     

Vladimir Yu. Semenov  Josef Pek  Antal Ádám  Waldemar Jóźwiak  Boris Ladanyvskyy  Igor M. Logvinov  Pavel Pushkarev  Jan Vozar 《Acta Geophysica》2008,56(4):957-981

In the years 2001–2003, we accomplished the experimental phase of the project CEMES by collecting long-period magnetotelluric data at positions of eleven permanent geomagnetic observatories situated within few hundreds kilometers along the south-west margin of the East European Craton. Five teams were engaged in estimating independently the magnetotelluric responses by using different data processing procedures. The conductance distributions at the depths of the upper mantle have been derived individually beneath each observatory. By averaging the individual cross-sections, we have designed the final model of the geoelectrical structure of the upper mantle beneath the CEMES region. The results indicate systematic trends in the deep electrical structure of the two European tectonic plates and give evidence that the electrical structure of the upper mantle differs between the East European Craton and the Phanerozoic plate of west Europe, with a separating transition zone that generally coincides with the Trans-European Suture Zone.  相似文献   

Arguments for ionic nature of the Carpathian electric conductivity anomaly   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Jerzy Jankowski  Waldemar Jóźwiak  Jan Vozár 《Acta Geophysica》2008,56(2):455-465

This publication is a contribution to discussion on the geometry and petrography of the rock complex responsible for the Carpathian conductivity anomaly. We analysed arguments showing that this anomaly is caused by induction in the sedimentary basin, and make a critical review of various data to find out whether the good conductivity is connected with a rock complex containing graphite or mineralized water. We conclude that a more likely mechanism is the ionic one, i.e., the existence of fluids, although a final decision can only be made on the basis of deep drillings.  相似文献   

Manufaktura in Łódź, Poland: An example of a festival marketplace     

Waldemar Cudny 《Norsk geografisk tidsskrift. Norwegian journal of geography》2016,70(5):276-291

The main aim of the article is to describe the phenomenon of the festival marketplace using the example of Manufaktura in ?ód?, which is a post-socialist Polish city. The article presents the concept, the development of large shopping centres, and the main socio-economic and spatial urban transformations that accompanied the creation of Manufaktura. The research methods included analysis of Internet and statistical data, participant observation, one in-depth interview, and a large number of semi-structured interviews. The results of the study confirm that Manufaktura – a large arts centre, shopping mall, and leisure complex built in the revitalized part of a former textile factory – represents most of the festival marketplace features. Additionally, revitalization reflects urban transformation processes in post-socialist cities, such as functional transformation, deindustrialization, internationalization of trade, privatization, or changes in consumer behaviour. The author concludes that Manufaktura is now an important part of the revitalized urban geographical space in ?ód?. It performs essential urban functions, not only commercial but also cultural and tourism-related.  相似文献   

Entstehung und Zusammensetzung der Röhrensteine des Großen Plöner Sees     

Waldemar Ohle 《International Journal of Earth Sciences》1934,25(4):227-247

Zusammenfassung Im Litoral des Großen Plöner Sees liegt an örtlich begrenzten Stellen ein stark kalkhaltiger Ton unmittelbar im Kontakt mit dem Wasser. Teilweise kommt es dort durch das Wachstum der Uferpflanzen zur Bildung von Roströhren. Das Seesediment wird auf diese Weise lokal derartig verfestigt, daß das epilimnische Wasser nur die umliegenden, wenig Eisenhydroxyd-haltigen Bodenregionen zu erodieren vermag. Stumpfkegelartige Konkretionen von verschiedenster Gestalt bleiben stehen und werden meistens sekundär mit den gewöhnlichen Algen besiedelt. Die Gebilde werden als Röhrensteine bezeichnet, da sie an Stelle der anfangs noch vorhandenen Pflanzenwurzeln zentral eine Röhre besitzen. Die zentrifugal erfolgende Oxydation ist an rhythmischenLiesegangschen Fällungen von Eisenhydroxyd zu beobachten. Das CaCO₃ des Tones wird im zentralen Teil der Röhrensteine durch Fe(OH)₃ ersetzt. Dieser Vorgang hat nach dem Absterben und Verwesen der Wurzeln keineswegs sein Ende gefunden, sondern erreicht oft erst dann sein Optimum. Im peripheren Teil erfolgt dieser Substitutionsprozeß in viel schwächerem Maße; d. h. es besteht vom Zentrum zur Peripherie ein Abfall der Fällungsintensität. Das sind die wesentlichsten Ergebnisse der chemischen Analyse. Für die regionale Verschiedenheit der Roströhrenbildungen sind der Kalkgehalt und das Initialmaterial von großer Bedeutung.  相似文献

High-Speed BVRI Photometry of SS Cyg at Quiescence and at Outburst     

Diana Kjurkchieva  Dragomir Marchev  Waldemar Ogloza 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1998,262(1):53-74

BVRI photometry of SS Cyg from the end of 1996 and the beginning of 1997 is presented. The star underwent an eruption around December 11. The amplitude of which was slightly bigger than those of observed earlier eruptions. We saw some indication of the future outburst in the decreasing of brightness in all colours by about 0.4 mag during the last two weeks before the event. The emission of the system moved strongly to the shorter wavelengths at outburst. Our multicolour data confirm the existence of a light variability with the orbital (spectroscopic) period at quiescence. Moreover we found for the first time that this variability exists also at outburst but its amplitude is 3–5 times smaller. Whereas the amplitudes of the orbital variability at quiescence decrease to the longer wavelengths, they increase at outburst to the longer wavelengths. The orbital folded curve at quiescence has two-wave shape and was fitted well by the different visibility of two diametrical opposite hot spots (210000 K) with angular size 10⁰ on the magnetic poles of the white dwarf. An analogy between the two basic states of the U Gem-star SS Cyg, the polar AM Her and Z Cam-star RX And was found.  相似文献
