In the sub‐humid Western Boreal Plains of Alberta, where evapotranspiration often exceeds precipitation, trembling aspen (Populus tremuloides Michx.) uplands often depend on adjacent peatlands for water supply through hydraulic redistribution. Wildfire is common in the Boreal Plains, so the resilience of the transfer of water from peatlands to uplands through roots immediately following wildfire may have implications for aspen succession. The objective of this research was to characterize post‐fire peatland‐upland hydraulic connectivity and assess controls on aspen transpiration (as a measure of stress and productivity) among landscape topographic positions. In May 2011, a wildfire affected 90,000 ha of north central Alberta, including the Utikuma Region Study Area (URSA). Portions of an URSA glacio‐fluval outwash lake catchment were burned, which included forests and a small peatland. Within 1 year after the fire, aspen were found to be growing in both the interior and margins of this peatland. Across recovering land units, transpiration varied along a topographic gradient of upland midslope (0.42 mm hr?1) > upland hilltop (0.29 mm hr?1) > margin (0.23 mm hr?1) > peatland (0.10 mm hr?1); similar trends were observed with leaf area and stem heights. Although volumetric water content was below field capacity, P. tremuloides were sustained through roots present, likely before fire, in peatland margins through hydraulic redistribution. Evidence for this was observed through the analysis of oxygen (δ18O) and hydrogen (δ2H) isotopes where upland xylem and peat core signatures were ?10.0‰ and ?117.8‰ and ?9.2‰ and ?114.0‰, respectively. This research highlights the potential importance of hydraulic redistribution to forest sustainability and recovery, in which the continued delivery of water may result in the encroachment of aspen into peatlands. As such, we suggest that through altering ecosystem services, peatland margins following fire may be at risk to aspen colonization during succession. 相似文献

We analyse Japanese newspaper coverage of global warming from January 1998 to July 2007 and how public opinion during parts of that period were influenced by newspaper coverage. We show that a dramatic increase in newspaper coverage of global warming from January 2007 correlated with an increase in public concern for the issue. Before January 2007, we find that coverage of global warming had an immediate but short-term influence on public concern. With such transitory high levels of media coverage we suggest that for more effective communication of climate change, strategies aimed at maintaining mass-media coverage of global warming are required. 相似文献

Variations of water and flow in Sagami Bay in relation to the Kuroshio path variations are examined by using 100m-depth temperature and salinity data from 25 stations as well as sea level data from five stations (Minami-Izu, ItÔ, Ôshima, Aburatsubo, Mera). In regard to temperature, anomalies from the mean seasonal variations are used. Results show that water properties are clearly different between the three typical paths of the Kuroshio. The difference is more remarkable in temperature than in salinity; temperature is higher during the typical large-eander (LM) path, and lower during the offshore non-large-meander (NLM) path, compared with the nearshore NLM path. Temperature anomaly and salinity distributions, as well as the Ôshima minus Minami-Izu and Ôshima minus Mera sea-level differences strongly suggest that the flows during the typical LM path are distributed as hitherto described in past studies, that is, water in the mouth region of the bay flows clockwise around Ôshima from the west channel to the east channel, and a counterclockwise eddy exists in the interior. On the other hand, flows during the nearshore and offshore NLM paths seem to be quite different from those during the typical LM path; velocities are very weak, and the directions of circulation is frequently reversed. This tendency also can be seen during parts of LM period in which the Kuroshio takes a non-typical LM path.Water properties in Sagami Bay are most characteristic during transitions between nearshore and offshore NLM paths. During transitions from nearshore to offshore NLM paths, temperatures are extremely high as a whole in the bay, while during reverse transitions, both temperatures and salinities are very low in the entire region. 相似文献

Coastal wetlands present particular challenges for coastal governance and for the implementation of the Ramsar Convention, not least because coastal areas are focal points of human activity and of governance ambiguity. Through the evaluation of Ramsar delivery at both national and local levels in Japan and England, the relationship between Ramsar implementation and coastal governance was examined. In England, Ramsar status is primarily treated as a nature conservation designation which limits the wider opportunities inherent in the designation. In contrast, in Japan, the Ramsar Convention is used as a policy driver at the national level and as a leverage to encourage citizen engagement, economic benefit, and wetland conservation at the local level. It was concluded that through the implementation of the Ramsar Convention in important coastal wetland areas, significant steps can be taken towards delivering integrated approaches to coastal governance. 相似文献

Chemical oxygen demand (COD) at the sea surface in Tokyo Bay was examined using monthly data during 1980–89. The long-term
mean and the annual-cycle amplitude of COD are largest in the northwestern region, decrease southward, and are smallest near
the entrance of the bay. Based on their spatial properties, Tokyo Bay was divided into northwest, northeast, southwest, and
southeast regions, named Regions 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively. The time mean and the annual-cycle amplitude are large in Regions
1 and 2 but much less in Region 4, and are highly correlated in Region 1 + 2 + 4. The annual-cycle amplitude in Region 3 is
larger than that in Region 4, although the time mean is similar. The monthly long-term averages show a clear seasonal change
of COD, with a large increase from April to June, the maximum in June, and the minimum in December. After the maximum, COD
in Regions 1 and 3 (western side of the bay) decreases monotonically, while that in Regions 2 and 4 (eastern side) has a secondary
maximum in August. The phase of annual cycle lags southward from the head to the mouth of the bay with a maximum lag of about
one month. Anomalously large COD was observed in the western region of Tokyo Bay mostly in June, but never in the east and
from July to April. This is related to a high concentration of chlorophylla plus phaeo pigment and is likely caused by blooming of phytoplankton. Yearly mean COD was at a maximum in 1984 or 1985 and
decreased greatly after that. The annual frequency of the observed anomalous COD was large in 1981, 1983, and 1985, then decreased
abruptly, remaining small after 1985, possibly associated with low COD. 相似文献

We calculate the spin temperature and 21-cm brightness of early H ii regions around the first stars. We use outputs from cosmological radiation-hydrodynamics simulations of the formation and evolution of early H ii regions. In the pre-re-ionization era, H ii regions around massive primordial stars have diameters of a few kpc. The gas within the H ii regions is almost fully ionized, but begins recombining after the central stars die off. The relic H ii regions are then seen as bright emission sources in hydrogen 21 cm. We make brightness temperature maps of the H ii regions, accounting for radiative coupling with Lyman α photons in a simplified manner. The spin temperature in the relic H ii region is close to the gas kinetic temperature, generally several hundred to several thousand degrees. We show that the relic H ii region can be as bright as δ T b ∼ 100 mK in differential temperature against the cosmic microwave background for an angular resolution of subarcseconds. While individual early H ii patches will not be identified by currently planned radio telescopes, the collective fluctuations from early H ii regions might imprint signatures in the 21-cm background. 相似文献

This paper reviews the initial phase of a coastal education for sustainable development program for Edomae, the innermost reaches of Tokyo Bay. The program has been steered by a working group of Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology faculty members from different academic backgrounds. Although the process began with conventional educational ideas, the ESD practice framework evolved to include more interactive activities. The overall goal is to pursue discussions of a plan for the sustainable use of Tokyo Bay in the coastal communities through a university–community partnership by developing Edomae ESD leaders in the coastal community. 相似文献
