In this study rates of oxygen, ammonium (NH4
+), nitrate (NO3
−), nitrite (NO2
−), and nitrous oxide (N2O) fluxes, nitrogen (N) fixation, nitrification, and denitrification were compared between two intertidal sites for which
there is an abundant global literature, muddy and sandy sediments, and two sites representing the rocky intertidal zone where
biogeochemical processes have scarcely been investigated. In almost all sites oxygen production rates greatly exceeded oxygen
consumption rates. During daylight, NH4
+ and NO3
− uptake rates together with ammonification could supply the different N requirements of the primary producer communities at
all four sites; N assimilation by benthic or epilithic primary producers was the major process of dissolved inorganic nitrogen
(DIN) removal; N fixation, nitrification, and denitrification were minor processes in the overall light DIN cycle. At night,
distinct DIN cycling processes took place in the four environments, denitrification rates ranged from 9 ± 2 to 360 ± 30 μmol
N2 m−2 h−1, accounting for 10–48% of the water column NO3
− uptake; nitrification rates varied from 0 to 1712 ± 666 μmol NH4
+ m−2 h−1. A conceptual model of N cycle dynamics showed major differences between intertidal sediment and rocky sites in terms of
the mean rates of DIN net fluxes and the processes involved, with rocky biofilm showing generally higher fluxes. Of particular
significance, the intertidal rocky biofilms released 10 times the amount of N2O produced in intertidal sediments (up to 17 ± 6 μmol N2O m−2 h−1), representing the highest N2O release rates ever recorded for marine systems. The biogeochemical contributions of intertidal rocky substrata to estuarine
and coastal processes warrant future detailed investigation. 相似文献

The growth rates of albite and pyroxene (enstatite + diopside + spinel) reaction rims were measured at 1000°C and ˜700 MPa
and found to be parabolic indicating diffusion-controlled growth. The parabolic rate constants for the pyroxene (+ spinel)
rims in samples with 0.5 wt% H2O added or initially vacuum dried at 25°C and 250°C are 1.68 ± 0.09, 0.54 ± 0.05 and 0.25 ± 0.06 μm2/h, respectively. The values for albite rim growth in samples initially dried at 60°C and with 0.1 wt% H2O added are 0.25 ± 0.04 and 0.33 ± 0.03 μm2/h, respectively. The latter values were used to derive the product of the grain boundary diffusion coefficient D′A, where A = SiO2, NaAlO2, or NaAlSi−1, and the grain boundary thickness δ in albite. The calculated D′SIO2δ in the albite aggregate for the situations of two different water contents are about 9.9 × 10−23 and 1.4 × 10−22 m3 s−1, respectively. Both the rate constants and the calculated D′Aδ demonstrate that the effect of water content on the grain boundary diffusion rate in monomineralic albite and polymineralic
pyroxene (+ spinel) aggregates is small, consistent with recent studies of monomineralic enstatite and forsterite rims.

Daily and annual integrated rates of primary productivity and community respiration were calculated using physiological parameters
measured in oxygen-based photosynthesis-irradiance (P-I) incubations at 8 stations throughout central and western Long Island
Sound (cwLIS) during the summer and autumn of 2002 and 2003 and the late spring of 2003. Each calculation takes into account
actual variations in incident irradiance over the day and underwater irradiance and standing stock with depth. Annual peak
rates, ±95% confidence interval of propagated uncertainty in each measurement, of gross primary production (GPP, 1,730±610
mmol O2 m−2 d−1), community respiration (Rc, 1,660±270 mmol O2 m−2 d−1), and net community production (NCP, 1,160±1,100 mmol O2 m−2 d−1) occurred during summer at the western end of the Sound. Lowest rates of GPP (4±11 mmol O2 m−2 d−1), Rc (−50±300 mmol O2 m−2 d−1), and NCP (−1,250±270 mmol O2 m−2 d−1) occurred during late autumn-early winter at the outer sampled stations. These large ranges in rates of GPP, Rc, and NCP throughout the photic zone of cwLIS are attributed to seasonal and spatial variability. Algal respiration (Ra) was estimated to consume an average of 5% to 52% of GPP, using a literature-based ratio of Ra:Rc. From this range, we established that the estimated Ra accounts for approximately half of GPP, and was used to estimate daily net primary production (NPP), which ranged from 2
to 870 mmol O2 m−2 d−1 throughout cwLIS during the study. Annual NPP averaged 40±8 mol O2 m−2 yr−1 for all sampled stations, which more than doubled along the main axis of the Sound, from 32±14 mol O2 m−2 yr−1 at an eastern station to 82±25 mol O2 m−2 yr−1 at the western-most station. These spatial gradients in productivity parallel nitrogen loads along the main axis of the Sound.
Daily integrals of productivity were used to test and formulate a simple, robust biomass-light model for the prediction of
phytoplankton production in Long Island Sound, and the slope of the relationship was consistent with reports for other systems. 相似文献

To determine the removal of regenerated nitrogen by estuarine sediments, we compared sediment N2 fluxes to the stoichiometry of nutrient and O2 fluxes in cores collected in the Childs River, Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The difference between the annual PO4 3− (0.2 mol P m−2 yr−1) and NH4 + (1.6 mol N m−2 yr−1) flux and the Redfield N∶P ratio of 16 suggested an annual deficit of 1.5 mol N m−2 yr−1. Denitrification predicted from O2∶NH4 + flux ratios and measured as N2 flux suggested a nitrogen sink of roughly the same magnitude (1.4 mol N m−2 yr−1). Denitrification accounted for low N∶P ratios of benthic flux and removed 32–37% of nitrogen inputs entering the relatively highly nutrient loaded Childs River, despite a relatively brief residence time for freshwater in this system. Uptake of bottom water nitrate could only supply a fraction of the observed N2 flux. Removal of regenerated nitrogen by denitrification in this system appears to vary seasonally. Denitrification efficiency was inversely correlated with oxygen and ammonium flux and was lowest in summer. We investigated the effect of organic matter on denitrification by simulating phytoplankton deposition to cores incubated in the lab and by deploying chambers on bare and macroaglae covered sediments in the field. Organic matter addition to sediments increased N2 flux and did not alter denitrification efficiency. Increased N2 flux co-varied with O2 and NH4 + fluxes. N2 flux (261±60 μmol m−2 h−1) was lower in chambers deployed on macroalgal beds than deployed on bare sediments (458±70 μmol m−2 h−1), and O2 uptake rate was higher in chambers deployed on macroalgal beds (14.6±2.2 mmol m−2 h−1) than on bare sediments (9.6±1.5 mmol m−2 h−1). Macroalgal cover, which can retain nitrogen in the system, is a link between nutrient loading and denitrification. Decreased denitrification due to increasing macroalgal cover could create a positive feedback because decreasing denitrification would increase nitrogen availability and could increase macroalgae cover. 相似文献

Peatlands are a large potential source of methane (CH4) to the atmosphere. In order to investigate the effects of climate change on CH4 emission from northern ombrotrophic peatlands, a simulation model coupling water table dynamics with methane emission was
developed for the Mer Bleue Bog in Ontario, Canada. The model was validated against reported values of CH4 flux from field measurements and the model outputs exhibited high sensitivity to acrotelm thickness, leaf area index, transmissivity
and slope of water table. With a 2–4°C temperature rise over the 4-year simulation period, the rate of CH4 release dropped significantly to under 0.1 mg m−2 day−1. On the other hand, mean CH4 emission increased by >26-fold when the increase in precipitation was >15%. When looking at the combined effects, the highest
CH4 release (13.3 mg m−2 day−1) was attained under the scenario of 2°C temperature rise and 25% precipitation increase. Results obtained in this study highlight
the importance of avoiding more extreme climate change, which would otherwise lead to enhanced methane release from peatlands
and further atmospheric warming through positive feedback. 相似文献

Freshwater marshes could be a source of greenhouse gases emission because they contain large amounts of soil carbon and nitrogen.
These emissions are strongly influenced by exogenous nitrogen. We investigate the effects of exogenous nitrogen on ecosystem
respiration (CO2), CH4 and N2O emissions from freshwater marshes in situ in the Sanjiang Plain Northeast of China during the growing seasons of 2004 and
2005, using a field fertilizer experiment and the static opaque chamber/GC techniques. The results show that there were no
significant differences in patterns of seasonal variations of CO2 and CH4 among the fertilizer and non-fertilizer treatments, but the seasonal patterns of N2O emission were significantly influenced by the exogenous nitrogen. Seasonal averages of the CO2 flux from non-fertilizer and fertilizer were 987.74 and 1,344.35 mg m
−2 h
−1, respectively, in 2004, and 898.59 and 2,154.17 mg m
−2 h
−1, respectively, in 2005. And the CH4 from the control and fertilizer treatments were 6.05 and 13.56 mg m
−2 h
−1 and 0.72 and 1.88 mg m
−2 h
−1, respectively, in 2004 and 2005. The difference of N2O flux between the fertilizer and non-fertilizer treatments is also significant either in 2004 and 2005. On the time scale
of 20-, 100-, and 500-year periods, the integrated global warming potential (GWP) of CO2 + CH4 + N2O released during the two growing seasons for the treatment of fertilizer was 97, 94 and 89%, respectively, higher than that
for the control, which suggested that the nitrogen fertilizer can enhance the GWP of the CH4 and N2O either in long time or short time scale. 相似文献

Benthic oxygen, dinitrogen, and nutrient fluxes (NH4+, NO3−, and PO43−) were measured monthly during a 1-year period at two locations in Weeks Bay, a shallow (1.4 m) and eutrophic estuary in Alabama.
Gross primary productivity (GPP), ecosystem respiration (R), and net ecosystem metabolism were determined from high-frequency
dissolved oxygen measurements. Peak water column NO3− (55 μM) and chlorophyll a (138 μg/l) concentrations were measured during spring and fall, respectively. Sediments were a net source of NH4+ (102 μmol m−2 h−1) and PO43− (0.9 μmol m−2 h−1) but a sink for NO3− (−30 μmol m−2 h−1). Benthic N2 fluxes indicated net N fixation (12 μmol N m−2 h−1). Sediment oxygen demand (0.55 g O2 m−2 day−1) accounted for <10% of R (7.3 g O2 m−2 day−1). Despite high GPP rates (4.7 g O2 m−2 day−1), the estuary was net heterotrophic. Benthic regeneration supplied, on average, 7.5% and 4% of primary productivity N and
P demands, respectively. These results contrast with the conventional view that benthic regeneration accounts for a large
fraction of phytoplankton nutrient demand in shallow estuaries. 相似文献

The thermal expansion of gehlenite, Ca2Al[AlSiO7], (up to T=830 K), TbCaAl[Al2O7] (up to T=1100 K) and SmCaAl[Al2O7] (up to T=1024 K) has been determined. All compounds are of the melilite structure type with space group
Thermal expansion data were obtained from in situ X-ray powder diffraction experiments in-house and at HASYLAB at the Deutsches
Elektronen Synchrotron (DESY) in Hamburg (Germany). The thermal expansion coefficients for gehlenite were found to be: α1=7.2(4)×10−6×K−1+3.6(7)×10−9ΔT×K−2 and α3=15.0(1)×10−6×K−1. For TbCaAl[Al2O7] the respective values are: α1=7.0(2)×10−6×K−1+2.0(2)×10−9ΔT×K−2 and α3=8.5(2)×10−6×K−1+2.0(3)×10−9ΔT×K−2, and the thermal expansion coefficients for SmCaAl[Al2O7] are: α1=6.9(2)×10−6×K−1+1.7(2)×10−9ΔT×K−2 and α3=9.344(5)×10−6×K−1. The expansion mechanisms of the three compounds are explained in terms of structural trends obtained from Rietveld refinements
of the crystal structures of the compounds against the powder diffraction patterns. No structural phase transitions have been
observed. While gehlenite behaves like a ‘proper’ layer structure, the aluminates show increased framework structure behavior.
This is most probably explained by stronger coulombic interactions between the tetrahedral conformation and the layer-bridging
cations due to the coupled substitution (Ca2++Si4+)–(Ln
3++Al3+) in the melilite-type structure.

The X-ray fluorescence and ICP methods were used to analyze 60 outcrop samples of black shale, of which 15 were collected from Belait, 15 from the Setap Shale, 15 from Temburong, and 15 from the Trusmadi formations. The average compositions of the shales from the study area are 64.62%, 63.95%, 62.32%, 63.84% SiO2, 1.84%, 2.14%, 2.04%, 1.99% MgO, 2.55%, 3.12%, 2.89%, 2.72% K2O, 0.32%, 0.30%, 0.32%, 0.53% CaO, 5.86%, 6.06%, 7.14%, 6.60% Fe2O3, 207×10^-6, 180×10^-6, 213×10^-6, 200×10^-6 Rb, and 56×10^-6, 49×10^-6, 50×10^-6, 32×10^-6 Sr for the Setap Shale, Temburong, Belait and Trusmadi samples, respectively. The high Rb/Sr ratios of 3.8, 3.7, 4.2, and 6.1 are attributed to the lowest contents of Sr due to reducing conditions prevailing. The high Rb/K ratio sug- gests either brackish marine or rapid deposition that prevented equilibrium between Rb and K in the shales and marine waters. 相似文献

Temporal variation of PM10 using 2-year data (January, 2007–December, 2008) of Delhi is presented. PM10 varied from 42 to 200 μg m−3 over January to December, with an average 114.1 ± 81.1 μg m−3. They are comparable with the data collected by Central Pollution Control Board (National Agency which monitors data over
the entire country in India) and are lower than National Ambient Air Quality (NAAQ) standard during monsoon, close to NAAQ
during summer but higher in winter. Among CO, NO2, SO2, rainfall, temperature, and wind speed, PM10 shows good correlation with CO. Also, PM10, PM2.5, and PM1 levels on Deepawali days when fireworks were displayed are presented. In these festive days, PM10, PM2.5, and PM1 levels were 723, 588, and 536 μg m−3 in 2007 and 501, 389, and 346 μg m−3 in 2008. PM10, PM2.5, and PM1 levels in 2008 were 1.5 times lower than those in 2007 probably due to higher mixing height (446 m), temperature (23.8°C),
and winds (0.36 ms−1). 相似文献

Sulfide Inhibition of Nitrate Removal in Coastal Sediments 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Microbial nitrate (NO3−) removal via denitrification (DNF) at high sulfide (H2S) concentrations was compared in sediment from a coastal freshwater pond in a developed area that receives salt-water influx
during storm events, and a saline pond proximal to an undeveloped estuary. Sediments were incubated with added SO42− (1,000 μg per gram dry weight basis (gdw)) to determine whether acid volatile sulfides (AVS) were formed. DNF in the sediments
was measured with NO3–N (300 μg gdw−1) alone, and with NO3–N and H2S (1,000 μg S2− gdw−1). SO42− addition to the freshwater sediments resulted in AVS formation (970 ± 307 μg S gdw−1) similar to the wetland with no added SO42− (986 ± 156 μg S gdw−1). DNF rates measured with no added H2S were greater in the freshwater than the wetland site (10.6 ± 0.6 vs. 6.4 ± 0.1 μg N2O–N gdw−1 h−1, respectively). High H2S concentrations retained NH4–N in the undeveloped wetland and retained NO3–N in the developed freshwater site, suggesting that potential salt-water influx may reduce the ability of the freshwater
sediments to remove NO3–N. 相似文献

The heat capacity at constant pressure, C
p, of chlorapatite [Ca5(PO4)3Cl – ClAp], and fluorapatite [Ca5(PO4)3F – FAp], as well as of 12 compositions along the chlorapatite–fluorapatite join have been measured using relaxation calorimetry
[heat capacity option of the physical properties measurement system (PPMS)] and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) in
the temperature range 5–764 K. The chlor-fluorapatites were synthesized at 1,375–1,220°C from Ca3(PO4)2 using the CaF2–CaCl2 flux method. Most of the chlor-fluorapatite compositions could be measured directly as single crystals using the PPMS such
that they were attached to the sample platform of the calorimeter by a crystal face. However, the crystals were too small
for the crystal face to be polished. In such cases, where the sample coupling was not optimal, an empirical procedure was
developed to smoothly connect the PPMS to the DSC heat capacities around ambient T. The heat capacity of the end-members above 298 K can be represented by the polynomials: C

pex, occur in the chlorapatite–fluorapatite solid solution around 80 K (and to a lesser degree at 200 K) and are asymmetrically
distributed over the join reaching a maximum of 1.3 ± 0.3 J mol−1 K−1 for F-rich compositions. They are significant at these conditions exceeding the 2σ-uncertainty of the data. The excess entropy of mixing, ΔS
ex, at 298 K reaches positive values of 3–4 J mol−1 K−1 in the F-rich portion of the binary, is, however, not significantly different from zero across the join within its 2σ-uncertainty. 相似文献

An algorithm is proposed for constructing a group (ensemble) pulsar time based on the application of optimal Wiener filters.
This algorithm makes it possible to separate the contributions of variations of the atomic time scale and of the pulsar rotation
to barycentric residual deviations of the pulse arrival times. The method is applied to observations of the pulsars PSR B1855+09
and PSR B1937+21, and is used to obtain corrections to UTC relative to the group pulsar time PTens. Direct comparison of the terrestial time TT(BIPM06) and the group pulsar time PTens shows that they disagree by no more than 0.4 ± 0.17 μs.

Do we have enough pieces of the jigsaw to integrate CO2 fluxes in the coastal ocean? 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Alberto V. Borges 《Estuaries and Coasts》2005,28(1):3-27
Annually integrated air-water CO2 flux data in 44 coastal environments were compiled from literature. Data were gathered in 8 major ecosystems (inner estuaries,
outer estuaries, whole estuarine systems, mangroves, salt marshes, coral reefs, upwelling systems, and open continental shelves),
and up-scaled in the first attempt to integrate air-water CO2 fluxes over the coastal ocean (26×106 km2), taking into account its geographical and ecological diversity. Air-water CO2 fluxes were then up-scaled in global ocean (362×106 km2) using the present estimates for the coastal ocean and those from Takahashi et al. (2002) for the open ocean (336×106 km2). If estuaries and salt marshes are not taken into consideration in the up-scaling, the coastal ocean behaves as a sink for
atmospheric CO2(−1.17 mol C m−2 yr−1) and the uptake of atmospheric CO2 by the global ocean increases by 24% (−1.93 versus −1.56 Pg C yr−1). The inclusion of the coastal ocean increases the estimates of CO2 uptake by the global ocean by 57% for high latitude areas (−0.44 versus −0.28 Pg C yr−1) and by 15% for temperate latitude areas (−2.36 versus −2.06 Pg C yr−1) At subtropical and tropical latitudes, the contribution from the coastal ocean increases the CO2 emission to the atmosphere from the global oceam by 13% (0.87 versus 0.77 Pg C yr−1). If estuaries and salt marshes are taken into consideration in the upscaling, the coastal ocean behaves as a source for
atmospheric CO2 (0.38 mol C m−2 yr−1) and the uptake of atmospheric CO2 from the global ocean decreases by 12% (−1.44 versus −1.56 Pg C yr−1) At high and subtropical and tropical latitudes, the coastal ocean behaves as a source for atmospheric CO2 but at temperate latitudes, it still behaves as a moderate CO2 sink. A rigorous up-scaling of air-water CO2 fluxes in the coastal ocean is hampered by the poorly constrained estimate of the surface area of inner estuaries. The present
estimates clearly indicate the significance of this biogeochemically, highly active region of the biosphere in the global
CO2 cycle. 相似文献

An integrated geochemical analysis of the well-exposed Pine Creek, California tungsten skarn deposit has been undertaken to
evaluate changes in chemical gradients across various lithologies. Thermodynamic calculations using available experimental
and thermodynamic data allow limits to be assigned to the activities of important chemical components in the metasomatic environment.
Quantifiable changes in “non-volatile” component activites (CaO, MgO, Al2O3, Fe2O3, WO3) and in fugacities (O2, F2) have been traced across the system. The activities of Al2O3, Fe2O3 and WO3 generally increase from the marble (<102, <10−6, <10−5 respectively), through the outer skarn zone and into the massive garnet skarn (10−1.7±0.3, 10−3.4±0.4, 10−4.8±0.1) While CaO and MgO activities decrease for the same traverse from 10−5 and 10−2.1±1 respectively, to <10−5.7 and <10−3. Calculated oxygen fugacities are 10−23.5+1.0 at T=800 K (527° C), about one log unit below QFM, and more reducing than that required by Mt-Py-Po. The high variance of the
garnet-pyroxene-quartz assemblages adds sufficient uncertainty to the calculated activities for individual specimens that
only the large-scale trends survive the small-scale scatter. None of the chemical variables emerge as major independent or
controlling factors for the mineralogy or phase compositions. Changes in the activity of one component may be offset by compensatory

This paper estimates CO2 fluxes in a municipal site for final disposal of solid waste, located in Gualeguaychu, Argentina. Estimations were made using
the accumulation chamber methods, which had been calibrated previously in laboratory. CO2 fluxes ranged from 31 to 331 g m−2 day−1. Three different populations were identified: background soil gases averaging 46 g m−2 day−1, intermediate anomalous values averaging 110 g m−2 day−1 and high anomalous values averaging 270 g m−2 day−1. Gas samples to a depth of 20 cm were also taken. Gas fractions, XCO2 < 0.1, XCH4 < 0.01, XN2 ~0.71 and XO2 ~0.21, δ13C of CO2 (−34 to −18‰), as well as age of waste emplacement, suggest that the study site may be at the final stage of aerobic biodegradation.
In a first approach, and following the downstream direction of groundwater flow, alkalinity and δ13C of dissolved inorganic carbon (−15 to 4‰) were observed to increase when groundwater passed through the disposal site. This
suggests that the CO2 generated by waste biodegradation dissolves or that dissolved organic matter appears as a result of leachate degradation. 相似文献

The behavior of arsenic at the Earth’s surface and nearby at low temperatures and pressures depends mainly on the redox potential
and the acidity-alkalinity of the crystallization media. These parameters determine the migration of arsenic compounds and
their precipitation as various solid phases. Understanding the mechanism of arsenic’s behavior under surface conditions, which
is important for solving environmental problems, is an urgent task of contemporary mineralogy and geochemistry. The activities

ΣPb = 10−4) have been estimated. Eh-pH diagrams were calculated and plotted using the Geochemist’s Workbench (GMB 7.0) software package.
The database comprises the thermodynamic parameters of 46 elements, 47 main particles, 48 redox pairs, 551 particles in solution,
624 solid phases, and 10 gases. The Eh-pH diagrams of the Me-As-H2O systems (Me = Co, Ni, Fe, Cu, Zn, Pb) were plotted for the average contents of these elements in the underground water and
for their higher contents in the oxidation zones of sulfide deposits. The formation of Co, Ni, Fe, Cu, Zn, and Pb arsenates
at the surface is discussed. 相似文献

A simple, single-well push-pull test was conducted at a TCE-contaminated site to estimate the site-specific TCE degradation
and permanganate (MnO4−) consumption rate. Known quantities of a conservative tracer (Br−) and permanganate were rapidly injected into a saturated aquifer then periodically sampled during extraction from the same
well. Concentrations of Br−, TCE, and MnO4− were measured; breakthrough curves (BTCs) for all species of solute were determined. Data analysis of BTCs for bromide and
TCE showed that the first-order rate constant of TCE degradation by MnO4− is 1.67 ± 0.152 h−1. Further, the in situ MnO4− demand rate by TCE and aquifer materials is estimated to be 0.54 ± 0.371 h−1. This study demonstrates that in situ push-pull tests are useful and economical tools for field investigations to determine
contaminant reaction and oxidant consumption rates, which may then be used to optimize groundwater remediation designs. 相似文献
