Photosynthesis-irradiance relationships in natural phytoplankton populations of the Barents Sea 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
FRANCISCO REY 《Polar research》1991,10(1):105-116
An analysis is made of the photosynthesis-irradiance relationships in natural phytoplankton populations in the Barents Sea. The data set comprises 232 experiments carried out during a 10-year period, both in open and ice-covered waters. The variability on the P-I parameters is discussed and examined in relation to the variation in a variety of environmental conditions. The results suggest that in the Barents Sea, as in other Arctic areas, phytoplankton photosynthesis is mainly controlled by physical variables. However, control of the phytoplankton stock, i.e. by zooplankton grazing, seems also to have a considerable indirect influence on P-I parameters, especially after the spring bloom and the depletion of winter nutrients. 相似文献

Abstract A case study is presented for the application of statistical and geostatistical methods to the problem of estimating groundwater quality variables. This methodology has been applied to the investigation of the detrital aquifer of the Bajo Andarax (Almería, Spain). The use of principal components analysis is proposed, as a first step, for identifying relevant types of groundwater and the processes that bring about a change in their quality. As a result of this application, three factors were obtained, which were used as three new variables (VI: sulphate influence; V2: thermal influence; and V3: marine influence). Analysis of their spatial distribution was performed through the calculation of experimental and theoretical variograms, which served as input for geostatistical modelling using ordinary block kriging. This analysis has allowed a probabilistic representation of the data to be obtained by mapping the three variables throughout the aquifer for each sampling point. In this way, one can evaluate the spatial and temporal variation of the principal physico-chemical processes associated with the three variables VI, V2 and V3 implicated in the groundwater quality of the detrital aquifer. 相似文献

Aeolian sand sheets, which are characterized by low relief surfaces that lack dunes, are common in arid and semi‐arid climatic settings. The surface of an aeolian sand sheet can either be stable and subject to pedogenetic effects, or unstable such that it is affected by deflation or sedimentation. The Marília Formation (Late Cretaceous) may be interpreted as an ancient aeolian sand sheet area, where alternating phases of stability and instability of the accumulation surface have been recorded. Detailed field studies were carried out in several sections of the Marília Formation, where cyclic alternations of palaeosols and aeolian deposits were evident, using palaeopedological and facies analysis methods, supported in the laboratory by the analysis of rock samples, cut and polished in slabs, thin sections, scanning electron microscope images and X‐ray diffraction data from the clay minerals. The deposits comprise three lithofacies that, in order of abundance, are characterized by: (i) translatent wind‐ripple strata; (ii) flood deposits; and (iii) ephemeral river channel deposits. Palaeosols constitute, on average, 65% of the vertical succession. Three types of palaeosols (pedotypes) are recognized: (i) Aridisols; (ii) Entisols; and (iii) Vertisols. Erosional surfaces due to aeolian deflation divide the top of the palaeosol profiles from the overlying aeolian deposits. The palaeoenvironmental interpretation of the deposits and the palaeosols allows the depositional system of the Marília Formation to be defined as a flat area, dominated by aeolian sedimentation, with subordinate ephemeral river sedimentation, and characterized by a dry climatic setting with occasional rainfall. The climate is the main forcing factor controlling the alternation between episodes of active sedimentation and periods of palaeosol development. A climate‐controlled model is proposed in which: (i) the palaeosols are indicative of a stable surface that is developed during the more humid climatic phases; and (ii) the erosional surfaces and the overlying aeolian sediments attest to periods of deflation and subsequent sedimentation, thereby increasing the availability of sediment during the drier climatic phases. The ephemeral fluvial deposits mark the more humid climatic conditions and contribute to the lagged sediment influx caused during the drier periods by the erosion of previously stored sediment. 相似文献

Seven old, shed caribou ( Rangifer tarandus ) antlers from Alexandra Land, in the high arctic Franz Josef Land archipelago where no caribou are found today, were dated to between 3870 ± 70 and 2245 ± 70 radiocarbon years BP. All were found on the ground above the highest shoreline, thus not transported there by sea-ice. That the ages all fall into a relatively narrow time-span suggests that they originate from a population of caribou that really lived on Alexandra Land. We suggest that they migrated there after the culmination of the Holocene climatic optimum ( c . 6000 to 4500 BP) when the climate again became colder and the sea-ice more persistent. The climate during that period can be compared with that of Nordaustlandet on Svalbard today, where a population of caribou still exists. 相似文献

The ecology of Lower Cambrian buildups from Zuune Arts, Mongolia: implications for early metazoan reef evolution 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Reefal buildups in western Mongolia of mid-Early Cambrian (late Atdabanian) age flourished during a period when shelf seas were globally widespread. The succession at Zuune Arts records the transition from shallow marine siliciclastic sediments (Bayan Gol Formation) to shallow marine, but still clastic-influenced, carbonates (Salaany Gol Formation). The Salaany Gol Formation is interpreted as having been deposited as a series of shallowing upwards cycles on a shallow, gently inclined shelf in a rapidly subsiding epicontinental sea. Cycles commenced with the growth of subtidal metazoan-calcimicrobe aggregative communities on an open shelf. The resultant buildups were commonly engulfed by extensive, massive microbial stromatolites when they grew in agitated intertidal conditions. Latterly, they were smothered by ooid shoals in response to rapid sea level rise. Four types of reefal buildup are distinguished: (1) green-coloured calcimicrobe (Tarthinia, Epiphyton, Gordonophyton and Renalcis) boundstones; (2) red-or green-coloured Cambrocyathellus-Tarthinia-Epiphyton bafflestones; (3) red-coloured Okulitchicyathus bindstones; and (4) red-coloured radiocyath-archaeocyath-cribricyath bioherms. Each is interpreted as having grown at increasing depths and possibly sedimentation rates. The buildups are commonly enclosed within graded and planar bedded bioclastic grainstones and packstones, and are best developed towards the top of the formation, when sea level was high. Thickets of large, solitary archaeocyaths are also inferred in the deeper interbiohermal areas. These buildups had synoptic relief and constructed porous structures with growth-framework cavities housing diverse coelobiontic communities. Extensive synsedimentary cements are present, including pseudomorphed aragonitic fans and possible pseudomorphed aragontic botryoids. These early reefs thus have geological fabrics similar to later Phanerozoic representatives. It is proposed however, that this ecosystem was largely composed of generalist and opportunistic filter and suspension feeders which were dependent upon a far higher input of nutrients than modern day reefal developments. Bacteria were probably the main primary producers, from both planktic and benthic cyanobacterial communities. The diversity of each buildup assemblage appears to be controlled by primary cavity size, the richest fauna belonging to the highly tiered radiocyath-dominated community inferred to have lived in the deepest waters. The communities at Zuune Arts can be compared with other buildups from the early Cambrian, and with Lower Ordovician receptaculid-calcimicrobe-solitary sponge bioherms known from the USA and Siberia. 相似文献
