While there are extensive macro‐ and microfossil records of a range of plants and animals from the Quaternary, earthworms and their close relatives amongst annelids are not preserved as fossils and therefore the knowledge of their past distributions is limited. This lack of fossils means that clitellate worms (Annelida) are currently underused in palaeoecological research, even though they can provide valuable information about terrestrial and aquatic environmental conditions. Their DNA might be preserved in sediments, which offers an alternative method for detection. Here we analyse lacustrine sediments from lakes in the Polar Urals, Arctic Russia, covering the period 24 000–1300 cal. a BP, and NE Norway, covering 10 700–3300 cal. a BP, using a universal mammal 16S rDNA marker. While mammals were recorded using the marker (reindeer was detected twice in the Polar Urals core at 23 000 and 14 000 cal. a BP, and four times in the Norwegian core at 11 000 cal. a BP and between 3600–3300 cal. a BP), worm extracellular DNA ‘bycatch’ was rather high. In this paper we present the first reported worm detection from ancient DNA. Our results demonstrate that both aquatic and terrestrial clitellates can be identified in late‐Quaternary lacustrine sediments, and the ecological information retrievable from this group warrants further research with a more targeted approach. 相似文献

Uncertainty and sensitivity in a bank stability model: implications for estimating phosphorus loading 
下载免费PDF全文
下载免费PDF全文 Eutrophication of aquatic ecosystems is one of the most pressing water quality concerns in the United States and around the world. Bank erosion has been largely overlooked as a source of nutrient loading, despite field studies demonstrating that this source can account for the majority of the total phosphorus load in a watershed. Substantial effort has been made to develop mechanistic models to predict bank erosion and instability in stream systems; however, these models do not account for inherent natural variability in input values. To quantify the impacts of this omission, uncertainty and sensitivity analyses were performed on the Bank Stability and Toe Erosion Model (BSTEM), a mechanistic model developed by the US Department of Agriculture – Agricultural Research Service (USDA‐ARS) that simulates both mass wasting and fluvial erosion of streambanks. Generally, bank height, soil cohesion, and plant species were found to be most influential in determining stability of clay (cohesive) banks. In addition to these three inputs, groundwater elevation, stream stage, and bank angle were also identified as important in sand (non‐cohesive) banks. Slope and bank height are the dominant variables in fluvial erosion modeling, while erodibility and critical shear stress had low sensitivity indices; however, these indices do not reflect the importance of critical shear stress in determining the timing of erosion events. These results identify important variables that should be the focus of data collection efforts while also indicating which less influential variables may be set to assumed values. In addition, a probabilistic Monte‐Carlo modeling approach was applied to data from a watershed‐scale sediment and phosphorus loading study on the Missisquoi River, Vermont to quantify uncertainty associated with these published results. While our estimates aligned well with previous deterministic modeling results, the uncertainty associated with these predictions suggests that they should be considered order of magnitude estimates only.

We explored the submarine portions of the Enriquillo–Plantain Garden Fault zone (EPGFZ) and the Septentrional–Oriente Fault zone (SOFZ) along the Northern Caribbean plate boundary using high‐resolution multibeam echo‐sounding and shallow seismic reflection. The bathymetric data shed light on poorly documented or previously unknown submarine fault zones running over 200 km between Haiti and Jamaica (EPGFZ) and 300 km between the Dominican Republic and Cuba (SOFZ). The primary plate‐boundary structures are a series of strike‐slip fault segments associated with pressure ridges, restraining bends, step overs and dogleg offsets indicating very active tectonics. Several distinct segments 50–100 km long cut across pre‐existing structures inherited from former tectonic regimes or bypass recent morphologies formed under the current strike‐slip regime. Along the most recent trace of the SOFZ, we measured a strike‐slip offset of 16.5 km, which indicates steady activity for the past ~1.8 Ma if its current GPS‐derived motion of 9.8 ± 2 mm a?1 has remained stable during the entire Quaternary. 相似文献

We report on dust measurements obtained during the seventh orbit of the Galileo spacecraft about Jupiter. The most prominent
features observed are highly time variable dust streams recorded throughout the Jovian system. The impact rate varied by more
than an order of magnitude with a 5 and 10 hour periodicity, which shows a correlation with Galileo's position relative to
the Jovian magnetic field. This behavior can be qualitatively explained by strong coupling of nanometer-sized dust to the
Jovian magnetic field. In addition to the 5 and 10 h periodicities, a longer period which is compatible with Io's orbital
period is evident in the dust impact rate. This feature indicates that Io most likely is the source of the dust streams. During
a close (3,095 km altitude) flyby at Ganymede on 5 April 1997 an enhanced rate of dust impacts has been observed, which suggests
that Ganymede is a source of ejecta particles. Within a distance of about 25 RJ(Jupiter radius, RJ= 71,492 km) from Jupiter impacts of micrometer-sized particles have been recorded which could be particles on bound orbits
about Jupiter.

Analytical methods used for determining dissolved Fe(II) often yield inaccurate results in the presence of high Fe(III) concentrations. Accurate analysis of Fe(II) in solution when it is less than 1% of the total dissolved Fe concentration (FeT) is sometimes required in both geochemical and environmental studies. For example, such analysis is imperative for obtaining the ratio Fe(II)/Fe(III) in rocks, soils and sediments, for determining the kinetic constants of Fe(II) oxidation in chemical or biochemical systems operating at low pH, and is also important in environmental engineering projects, e.g. for proper control of the regeneration step (oxidation of Fe(II) into Fe(III)) applied in ferric-based gas desulphurization processes. In this work a method capable of yielding accurate Fe(II) concentrations at Fe(II) to FeT ratios as low as 0.05% is presented. The method is based on a pretreatment procedure designed to separate Fe(II) species from Fe(III) species in solution without changing the original Fe(II) concentration. Once separated, a modified phenanthroline method is used to determine the Fe(II) concentration, in the virtual absence of Fe(III) species. The pretreatment procedure consists of pH elevation to pH 4.2–4.65 using NaHCO3 under N2(g) environment, followed by filtration of the solid ferric oxides formed, and subsequent acidification of the Fe(II)-containing filtrate. Accuracy of Fe(II) analyses obtained for samples (Fe(II)/FeT ratios between 2% and 0.05%) to which the described pretreatment was applied was >95%. Elevating pH to above 4.65 during pretreatment was shown to result in a higher error in Fe(II) determination, likely resulting from adsorption of Fe(II) species and their removal from solution with the ferric oxide precipitate. 相似文献

Methane is, after carbon dioxide, the most important anthropogenic greenhouse gas. Governments plan to abate methane emissions. A crude set of estimates of reduction costs is included in FUND, an integratedassessment model of climate change. In a cost-benefit analysis, methane emission reduction is found to be instrumental in controlling the optimal rate of climate change. In a cost-effectiveness analysis, methane emission reduction largely replaces carbon dioxide emission reduction. Methane emission reduction reinforces the case for international cooperation in climate policy, but complicates the efficient allocation of emission reduction efforts. Methane emission reduction at the short run does not help to achieve the ultimate objective of the Framework Convention on Climate Change. 相似文献

Natural Environmental Changes versus Human Impact in a Florida Estuary (Rookery Bay, USA) 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
J. M. Lammers E. E. van Soelen T. H. Donders F. Wagner-Cremer J. S. Sinninghe Damsté G. J. Reichart 《Estuaries and Coasts》2013,36(1):149-157
Assessing the impact of climate change and anthropogenic activity on Florida coastal areas requires a thorough understanding of natural climate variability. The available instrumental record, however, is too short and too limited to capture the full range of natural variability. In order to provide additional data on the natural state of the climate system and to evaluate the influence of human impact, we reconstructed climatic and environmental changes of the past 300 years. Pre- (before 1900 ad) and post-human impact conditions were compared in Rookery Bay, a subtropical, southern Florida estuary and its bordering wetland system. Biomarkers from terrestrial and aquatic environments were used to reconstruct temperature, runoff, and aquatic productivity. Pre-anthropogenic conditions before 1750 ad indicate a relatively large contribution of mangrove-derived organic matter, locally decreasing at the end of this period. After 1750 ad follows a relatively stable period in which biomarker concentrations indicate relatively low levels of runoff and aquatic production. Enhanced anthropogenic activities, such as land clearance and hydrological alterations, end this period of stability by altering the hydrological conditions. This leads to a more dynamic system which is more sensitive to disturbances of vegetation and drainage, as evidenced by peak terrestrial biomarker fluxes during the twentieth century. These episodes of enhanced runoff resulted in eutrophication and algal blooms in Rookery Bay. Natural climate phenomena, such as a positive AMO phase and hurricane activity, might have added to ongoing processes during the twentieth century. 相似文献

It is increasingly recognized that effective river management requires a catchment scale approach. Sediment transport processes are relevant to a number of river functions but quantifying sediment fluxes at network scales is hampered by the difficulty of measuring the variables required for most sediment transport equations (e.g. shear stress, velocity, and flow depth). We develop new bedload and total load sediment transport equations based on specific stream power. These equations use data that are relatively easy to collect or estimate throughout stream networks using remote sensing and other available data: slope, discharge, channel width, and grain size. The new equations are parsimonious yet have similar accuracy to other, more established, alternatives. We further confirm previous findings that the dimensionless critical specific stream power for incipient particle motion is generally consistent across datasets, and that the uncertainty in this parameter has only a minor impact on calculated sediment transport rates. Finally, we test the new bedload transport equation by applying it in a simple channel incision model. Our model results are in close agreement to flume observations and can predict incision rates more accurately than a more complicated morphodynamic model. These new sediment transport equations are well suited for use at stream network scales, allowing quantification of this important process for river management applications.

30年来，层序地层学概念的发展和应用引起了把不整合面作为地层单元的边界面的浓厚兴趣。仅有很少的研究把焦点集中在对成岩作用和沉积过程以及对沉积不整合的形成时间的理解方面。然而，这些过程仅仅表现了在不整合面形成期间环境变化的沉积记录。 相似文献
