Respiration and calcification rates of the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas were measured in a laboratory experiment in the air and underwater, accounting for seasonal variations and individual size,
to estimate the effects of this exotic species on annual carbon budgets in the Bay of Brest, France. Respiration and calcification
rates changed significantly with season and size. Mean underwater respiration rates, deducted from changes in dissolved inorganic
carbon (DIC), were 11.4 μmol DIC g−1 ash-free dry weight (AFDW) h−1 (standard deviation (SD), 4.6) and 32.3 μmol DIC g−1 AFDW h−1 (SD 4.1) for adults (80–110 mm shell length) and juveniles (30–60 mm), respectively. The mean daily contribution of C. gigas underwater respiration (with 14 h per day of immersion on average) to DIC averaged over the Bay of Brest population was 7.0 mmol DIC m−2 day−1 (SD 8.1). Mean aerial CO2 respiration rate, estimated using an infrared gas analyzer, was 0.7 μmol CO2 g−1 AFDW h−1 (SD 0.1) for adults and 1.1 μmol CO2 g−1 AFDW h−1 (SD 0.2) for juveniles, corresponding to a mean daily contribution of 0.4 mmol CO2 m−2 day−1 (SD 0.50) averaged over the Bay of Brest population (with 10 h per day of emersion on average). Mean CaCO3 uptake rates for adults and juveniles were 4.5 μmol CaCO3 g−1 AFDW h−1 (SD 1.7) and 46.9 μmol CaCO3 g−1 AFDW h−1 (SD 29.2), respectively. The mean daily contribution of net calcification in the Bay of Brest C. gigas population to CO2 fluxes during immersion was estimated to be 2.5 mmol CO2 m−2 day−1 (SD 2.9). Total carbon release by this C. gigas population was 39 g C m−2 year−1 and reached 334 g C m−2 year−1 for densely colonized areas with relative contributions by underwater respiration, net calcification, and aerial respiration
of 71%, 25%, and 4%, respectively. These observations emphasize the substantial influence of this invasive species on the
carbon cycle, including biogenic carbonate production, in coastal ecosystems. 相似文献

Fluxes of carbon dioxide, water vapor, and heat were measured above crop canopy using the eddy covariance method during the
2008 maize growing season, over an agricultural field within an oasis located in the middle reaches of Heihe River basin,
northwest China. The values for friction velocity, the Monin–Obukhov stability parameter, and energy balance closure indicated
that the eddy covariance system at this study site provided reliable flux estimates. Results from measurements showed that
the mean sensible heat flux was 70 W m−2 with a maximum value of 164 W m−2 (May) and a minimum value of 45 W m−2 (July) during the maize growing season. In contrast, the mean latent heat was 278 W m−2 with a maximum value of 383 W m−2 (July) and minimum of 101 W m−2 (May). The mean downward soil heat flux was 55 W m−2 with a maximum value of 127 W m−2 (May) and minimum of 49 W m−2 (July). The magnitude of mean daytime net CO2 uptake was −11.50 μmol m−2 s−1 with a maximum value of −28.32 μmol m−2 s−1 (18 and 19 July) and a minimum values of −0.32 μmol m−2 s−1 (18 and 19 May). Correlation was observed between daytime half-hourly carbon dioxide flux and canopy conductance. In addition,
the relationship between carbon dioxide flux and photosynthetically active radiation for selected days during different stages
of maize growing season indicated the carbon dioxide flux uptake by the canopy was controlled by actual photosynthetic activity
related to the variation of green leaf area index for the different growing stages. 相似文献

Coal handling, crushing, washing, and other processes of coal beneficiation liberate coal particulate matter, which would
ultimately contaminate the nearby soils. In this study, an attempt was made to determine the status of soil bio-indicators
in the surroundings of a coal beneficiation plant, (in relation to a control site). The coal beneficiation plant is located
at Sudamudih, and the control site is 5 km away from the contaminated site, which is located in the colony of Central Institute
of Mining and Fuel Research Institute, Digwadih, Dhanbad. In order to estimate the impact of coal deposition on soil biochemical
characteristics and to identify the most sensitive indicator, soil samples were taken from the contaminated and the control
sites, and analyzed for soil organic carbon (SOC), soil N, soil basal respiration (BSR), substrate-induced respiration (SIR),
and soil enzymes like dehydrogenase (DHA), catalase (CAT), phenol oxidase (PHE), and peroxidase (PER). Coal deposition on
soils improved the SOC from 10.65 to 50.17 g kg−1, CAT from 418.1 to 804.11 μg H2O2 g−1 h−1, BSR from 8.5 to 36.15 mg CO2–C kg−1 day−1, and SIR from 24.3 to 117.14 mg CO2–C kg−1 day−1. Soils receiving coal particles exhibited significant decrease in DHA (36.6 to 4.22 μg TPF g−1 h−1), PHE (0.031 to 0.017 μM g−1 h−1), PER (0.153 to 0.006 μM g−1 h−1), and soil N (55.82 to 26.18 kg ha−1). Coal depositions significantly (P < 0.01) decreased the DHA to 8.8 times, PHE to 1.8 times, and PER to 25.5 times, but increased the SOC to 4.71 times, CAT
to 1.9 times, SIR to 4.82 times, and BSR to 4.22 times. Based on principal component analysis and sensitivity test, soil peroxidase
(an enzyme that plays a vital role in the degradation of the aromatic organic compounds) is found to be the most important
indicator that could be considered as biomarkers for coal-contaminated soils. 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

Inorganic nitrogen dynamics in intertidal rocky biofilms and sediments of the Douro River estuary (Portugal) 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

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

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

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

Phytoplankton Biomass and Production in Subtropical Hong Kong Waters: Influence of the Pearl River Outflow 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The size-fractionated phytoplankton biomass and primary production were investigated in four contrasting areas of Hong Kong
waters in 2006. Phytoplankton biomass and production varied seasonally in response to the influence of the Pearl River discharge.
In the dry season, the phytoplankton biomass and production were low (<42 mg chl m−2 and <1.8 g C m−2 day−1) in all four areas, due to low temperatures and dilution and reduced light availability due to strong vertical mixing. In
contrast, in the wet season, in the river-impacted western areas, the phytoplankton biomass and production increased greater
than five-fold compared to the dry season, especially in summer. In summer, algal biomass was 15-fold higher than in winter,
and the mean integrated primary productivity (IPP) was 9 g C m−2 day−1 in southern waters due to strong stratification, high temperatures, light availability, and nutrient input from the Pearl
River estuary. However, in the highly flushed western waters, chl a and IPP were lower (<30 mg m−2 and 4 g C m−2 day−1, respectively) due to dilution. The maximal algal biomass and primary production occurred in southern waters with strong
stratification and less flushing. Spring blooms (>10 μg chl a L−1) rarely occurred despite the high chl-specific photosynthetic rate (mostly >10 μg C μg chl a
−1 day−1) as the accumulation of algal biomass was restricted by active physical processes (e.g., strong vertical mixing and freshwater
dilution). Phytoplankton biomass and production were mostly dominated by the >5-μm size fraction all year except in eastern
waters during spring and mostly composed of fast-growing chain-forming diatoms. In the stratified southern waters in summer,
the largest algal blooms occurred in part due to high nutrient inputs from the Pearl River estuary. 相似文献

Benthic nutrient fluxes in the intertidal flat within the Changjiang (Yangtze River) Estuary 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
GAO Lei LI Daoji WANG Yanming YU Lihua KONG Dingjiang LI Mei LI Yun and FANG Tao State Key Laboratory of Marine Geology Tongji University Shanghai China State Key Laboratory of Estuarine Coastal Research East China Normal University Shanghai China 《中国地球化学学报》2008,27(1):58-71
In an annual cycle from March 2005 to February 2006, benthic nutrient fluxes were measured monthly in the Dongtan intertidal flat within the Changjiang (Yangtze River) Estuary. Except for NH4^+, there always showed high fluxes from overlying water into sediment for other four nutrients. Sediments in the high and middle marshes, covered with halophyte and consisting of macrofauna, demonstrated more capabilities of assimilating nutrients from overlying water than the low marsh. Sampling seasons and nutrient concentrations in the overlying water could both exert significant effects on these fluxes. Additionally, according to the model provided by previous study, denitrification rates, that utilizing NO3- transported from overlying water (Dw) in Dongtan sediments, were estimated to be from -16 to 193 μmol·h^-1·m^-2 with an average value of 63 μmol·h^-1·m^-2 (n=18). These estimated values are still underestimates of the in-situ rates owing to the lack of consideration of DN, i.e., denitrification supported by the local NO3^- production via nitrification. 相似文献

We developed light requirements for eelgrass in the Pacific Northwest, USA, to evaluate the effects of short- and long-term
reductions in irradiance reaching eelgrass, especially related to turbidity and overwater structures. Photosynthesis-irradiance
experiments and depth distribution field studies indicated that eelgrass productivity was maximum at a photosynthetic photon
flux density (PPFD) of about 350–550 μmol quanta m−2 s−1. Winter plants had approximately threefold greater net apparent primary productivity rate at the same irradiance as summer
plants. Growth studies using artificial shading as well as field monitoring of light and eelgrass growth indicated that long-term
survival required at least 3 mol quanta m−2 day−1 on average during spring and summer (i.e., May-September), and that growth was saturated above about 7 mol quanta m−2 day−1. We conclude that non-light-limited growth of eelgrass in the Pacific Northwest requires an average of at least 7 mol quanta
m−2 day−1 during spring and summer and that long-term survival requires a minimum average of 3 mol quanta m−2 day−1. 相似文献

We investigated the role of sandy beaches in nearshore nutrient cycling by quantifying macrophyte wrack inputs and examining
relationships between wrack accumulation and pore water nutrients during the summer dry season. Macrophyte inputs, primarily
giant kelp Macrocystis pyrifera, exceeded 2.3 kg m−1 day−1. Mean wrack biomass varied 100-fold among beaches (range = 0.41 to 46.43 kg m−1). Mean concentrations of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN), primarily NOx−-N, and dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) in intertidal pore water varied significantly among beaches (ranges = 1 to 6,553 μM
and 7 to 2,006 μM, respectively). Intertidal DIN and DON concentrations were significantly correlated with wrack biomass.
Surf zone concentrations of DIN were also strongly correlated with wrack biomass and with intertidal DIN, suggesting export
of nutrients from re-mineralized wrack. Our results suggest beach ecosystems can process and re-mineralize substantial organic
inputs and accumulate dissolved nutrients, which are subsequently available to nearshore waters and primary producers. 相似文献

We used enclosures to quantify wetland-water column nutrient exchanges in a dwarf red mangrove, (Rhizophora mangle L.) system near Taylor River, an important hydraulic linkage between the southern Everglades and eastern Florida Bay, Florida, USA. Circular enclosures were constructed around small (2.5–4 m diam) mangrove islands (n=3) and sampled quarterly from August 1996 to May 1998 to quantify net exchanges of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus. The dwarf mangrove wetland was a net nitrifying environment with consistent uptake of ammonium (6.6–31.4 μmol m−2 h−1) and release of nitrite +nitrate (7.1–139.5 μmol m−2 h−1) to the water column. Significant flux of soluble reactive phosphorus was rarely detected in this nutrient-poor, P-limited environment. We did observe recurrent uptake of total phosphorus and nitrogen (2.1–8.3 and 98–502 μmol m−2 h−1, respectively), as well as dissolved organic carbon (1.8–6.9 μmol m−2 h−1) from the water column. Total organic carbon flux shifted unexplainably from uptake, during Year 1, to export, during Year 2. The use of unvegetated (control) enclosures during the second year allowed us to distinguish the influence of mangrove vegetation from soil-water column processes on these fluxes. Nutrient fluxes in control chambers typically paralleled the direction (uptake or release) of mangrove enclosure fluxes, but not the magnitude. In several instances, nutrient fluxes were more than twofold greater in the absence of mangroves, suggesting an influence of the vegetation on wetland-water column processes. Our findings characterize wetland nutrient exchanges, in a mangrove forest type that has received such little attention in the past, and serve as baseline data for a system undergoing hydrologic restoration. 相似文献

Benthic respiration, sediment–water nutrient fluxes, denitrification and dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA)
were measured in the upper section of the Parker River Estuary from 1993 to 2006. This site experiences large changes in salinity
over both short and long time scales. Sediment respiration ranged from 6 to 52 mmol m−2 day−1 and was largely controlled by temperature. Nutrient fluxes were dominated by ammonium fluxes, which ranged from a small uptake
of −0.3 to an efflux of over 8.2 mmol N m−2 day−1. Ammonium fluxes were most highly correlated with salinity and laboratory experiments demonstrated that ammonium fluxes increased
when salinity increased. The seasonal pattern of DNRA closely followed salinity. DNRA rates were extremely low in March, less
than 0.1 mmol m−2 day−1, but increased to 2.0 mmol m−2 day−1 in August. In contrast, denitrification rates were inversely related to salinity, ranging from 1 mmol m−2 day−1 during the spring and fall to less than 0.2 mmol m−2 day−1 in late summer. Salinity appears to exert a major control on the nitrogen cycle at this site, and partially decouples sediment
ammonium fluxes from organic matter decomposition. 相似文献

Long-Term and Seasonal Changes in Nutrients,Phytoplankton Biomass,and Dissolved Oxygen in Deep Bay,Hong Kong 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Deep Bay is a semienclosed bay that receives sewage from Shenzhen, a fast-growing city in China. NH4 is the main N component of the sewage (>50% of total N) in the inner bay, and a twofold increase in NH4 and PO4 concentrations is attributed to increased sewage loading over the 21-year period (1986–2006). During this time series, the
maximum annual average NH4 and PO4 concentrations exceeded 500 and 39 μM, respectively. The inner bay (Stns DM1 and DM2) has a long residence time and very
high nutrient loads and yet much lower phytoplankton biomass (chlorophyll (Chl) <10 μg L−1 except for Jan, July, and Aug) and few severe long-term hypoxic events (dissolved oxygen (DO) generally >2 mg L−1) than expected. Because it is shallow (~2 m), phytoplankton growth is likely limited by light due to mixing and suspended
sediments, as well as by ammonium toxicity, and biomass accumulation is reduced by grazing, which may reduce the occurrence
of hypoxia. Since nutrients were not limiting in the inner bay, the significant long-term increase in Chl a (0.52–0.57 μg L−1 year−1) was attributed to climatic effects in which the significant increase in rainfall (11 mm year−1) decreased salinity, increased stratification, and improved water stability. The outer bay (DM3 to DM5) has a high flushing
rate (0.2 day−1), is deeper (3 to 5 m), and has summer stratification, yet there are few large algal blooms and hypoxic events since dilution
by the Pearl River discharge in summer, and the invasion of coastal water in winter is likely greater than the phytoplankton
growth rate. A significant long-term increase in NO3 (0.45–0.94 μM year−1) occurred in the outer bay, but no increasing trend was observed for SiO4 or PO4, and these long-term trends in NO3, PO4, and SiO4 in the outer bay agreed with those long-term trends in the Pearl River discharge. Dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) has
approximately doubled from 35–62 to 68–107 μM in the outer bay during the last two decades, and consequently DIN to PO4 molar ratios have also increased over twofold since there was no change in PO4. The rapid increase in salinity and DO and the decrease in nutrients and suspended solids from the inner to the outer bay
suggest that the sewage effluent from the inner bay is rapidly diluted and appears to have a limited effect on the phytoplankton
of the adjacent waters beyond Deep Bay. Therefore, physical processes play a key role in reducing the risk of algal blooms
and hypoxic events in Deep Bay. 相似文献

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

Laboratory culture experiments have been conducted to evaluate the effects of light intensity on the growth of Cryptomonas sp. (Cryptophyceae) and the discrepancy in absorption of iron and phosphorus under different light conditions. Results show
that there is an exponential correlation between algal growth rate and light intensity. The saturating and semi-saturating
light values for Cryptomonas sp. cells are 150 and 47 μmol photons m−2 s−1, respectively. More uptake of Fe, P, and other trace elements such as Zn, Mn, Co, and Mo is observed in the low light cultures,
although the algal growth rates are slow. The growth rate at 10 μmol photons m−2 s−1 is only 10% of that at 150 μmol photons m−2 s−1, whereas Fe and P uptake increases by 150 and 100%, respectively. These results suggest potential implications of differentiation
in absorption of iron and phosphorus at different light intensities for the occurrence of harmful algal blooms (HABs). The
mechanisms of light intensity regulating nutrient uptake as well as the occurrence of HABs are also discussed. 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

Nitrate pollution of groundwater in Toyserkan,western Iran 总被引:5,自引:2,他引:3
Mohsen Jalali 《Environmental Earth Sciences》2011,62(5):907-913
A total of 95 groundwater samples were collected from Toyserkan, western Iran to assess the chemical composition and nitrate
(NO3
−) status of groundwater. The most prevalent water type is Ca–HCO3 followed by water types Ca–Mg–HCO3. In comparison with the World Health Organization (WHO) drinking water guideline of 50 mg l−1 for NO3
−, a total of nine wells (9.5%) showed higher concentrations. In 36% of samples (34) NO3
− concentration was low (<20 mg l−1), and in 53.7% of samples (51), in the range of 20–50 mg l−1. The samples were classified into four groups based on NO3
− and chloride (Cl−) concentrations. Of the samples, 40% were classified as group 4 and were relatively high in Cl− and NO3
− (Cl− > 47 mg l−1, NO3
− > 27 mg l−1). The high correlation between NO3
− and Cl− (r = 0.86, p < 0.01) is consistent with a manure source, resulting from the practice of adding salt to animal feed. Pollution of groundwaters
appeared to be affected by the application of inorganic fertilizer at greater than agronomic rates, Cl-salt inputs, and irrigation
practice. 相似文献

Utilizing a sequential extraction technique this study provides the first quantitative analysis on the abundance of sedimentary
phosphorus and its partitioning between chemically distinguishable phases in sediments of the Bering Sea, the Chukchi Sea
and the Mackenzie River Delta in the western Arctic Ocean. Total sedimentary phosphorus (TSP) was fractionated into five operationally
defined phases: (1) adsorbed inorganic and exchangeable organic phosphorus, (2) Fe-bound inorganic phosphorus, (3) authigenic
carbonate fluorapatite, biogenic apatite and calcium carbonate-bound inorganic and organic phosphorus, (4) detrital apatite,
and (5) refractory organic phosphorus. TSP concentrations in surface sediments increased from the Chukchi Sea (18 μmol g−1 of dried sediments) to the Bering Sea (22 μmol g−1) and to the Mackenzie River Delta (29 μmol g−1). Among the five pools, detrital apatite phosphorus of igneous or metamorphic origin represents the largest fraction (~43%)
of TSP. The second largest pool is the authigenic carbonate fluorapatite, biogenic apatite as well as CaCO3 associated phosphorus (~24% of TSP), followed by the Fe-bound inorganic phosphorus, representing ~20% of TSP. The refractory
organic P accounts for ~10% of TSP and the readily exchangeable adsorbed P accounts for only 3.5% of TSP. Inorganic phosphorus
dominates all of phosphorus pools, accounting for an average of 87% of the TSP. Relatively high sedimentary organic carbon
and total nitrogen contents and low δ13C values in the Mackenzie River Delta together with the dominance of detrital apatite in the TSP demonstrate the importance
of riverine inputs in governing the abundance and speciation of sedimentary phosphorus in the Arctic coastal sediments. 相似文献

Measurements of uptake rates of inorganic (NO3− and NH4+) and organic (urea, glycine, and glutamic acid) N, and indirect estimates of total N uptake by bacteria, were made in four
contrasting environments in sub-tropical Hong Kong waters in summer of 2008. In addition, the effects of several days of rain
on N uptake rates were studied in eastern waters. Although ambient NO3− was the dominant form of N in Hong Kong waters, the dominant N form taken up by phytoplankton was usually NH4+ and organic N, including urea and amino acids, rather than NO3−. Hence, because of the low NO3− uptake, there was a long turnover time for NO3− (100 days), and most of the NO3− was apparently transported offshore into deeper shelf waters. In eastern waters where NH4+ was undetectable, NO3− uptake rates were positively correlated with phytoplankton cell size. In contrast, potential rates of glutamic acid uptake
were negatively correlated with phytoplankton size. N uptake rates in the smaller size fraction (0.7–2.8 μm) were less affected
by the rain event, and smaller phytoplankton appeared to outcompete larger cells after several days of rain. The surface (PN)-specific
N uptake rates in the >8-μm fraction decreased from 0.02 to 0.0001 h−1, while the smaller fraction only exhibited a one- to threefold decrease after the rainfall. In contrast, bacterial production
and N uptake were not affected by the rain event, and bacteria N uptake accounted for 10–60% of the total N uptake by phytoplankton. 相似文献
