Changing structure of benthic foraminiferal communities due to declining p H: Results from laboratory culture experiments

The ocean absorbs large amounts of CO_2 emitted from human activities, which results in a decrease in seawater p H.Marine calcifying organisms such as foraminifera, are most likely to be affected by this declining pH. In this study, we collected sediments from five stations of different depths(34–73 m) in a continental shelf of the Yellow Sea. The entire benthic foraminiferal communities together with sea sediments were cultured under three constant pHs(8.3, 7.8, and 7.3) for 6 and 12 weeks in the laboratory to study their responses to pH or incubation time. The microcosm's experimental results obtained showed that most of the foraminiferal community parameters(abundance, species richness, Margalef index, and Shannon-Wiener diversity) decreased significantly(p<0.05) with the decline in pH in all the tested stations. The responses of foraminifera to the decline in p H were species-specific, for instance, Protelphidium tuberculatum and Cribroelphidiumfrigidum were highly sensitive to declining pH and were finally eliminated at low pH, while some species(e.g., Lagenammina atlantica, Verneuilinulla advena, V. propinqua, Haplophragmoides applanata, and H. canariensis) could tolerate low pH and acted as pH-tolerant species. In addition, the proportion of hyaline taxa showed a significant(p<0.05) positive correlation with pH, while agglutinated type showed a negative response. Furthermore, different incubation times(6 and 12 weeks) showed significant effects on the nearshore communities other than the offshore treatments, which were, however, entirely declined after 6 weeks' incubation under low p H manipulation. Our results indicated that nearshore foraminiferal communities showed rather a resilience to the declining p H and the offshore foraminifera, especially those in the central area of the Yellow Sea Cold Water Mass were found to be more sensitive to the decline in pH in the continental shelf sediments of the Yellow Sea.     

孤岛工作面动力灾害预防控制方法研究

为研究孤岛工作面安全开采方法,理论分析其动力灾害多发的岩层运动及应力条件,并提出其安全开采的准则。认为只要合理设计开采参数,就可以避免孤岛工作面动力灾害的发生。分析表明:孤岛工作面长度大于相邻工作面支承压力影响范围之和时,孤岛工作面支承压力无法叠加,工作面较安全;相邻工作面长度大于关键层断裂步距时,覆岩关键层可充分塌垮,孤岛工作面无动压冲击危险;在稳定的内应力场开掘回采巷道时,回采巷道无冲击危险。     

热带印度-太平洋浮游有孔虫Pulleniatina obliquiloculata的B/Ca和Cd/Ca指标：次表层海水碳化学参数计算的应用

Pulleniatina obliquiloculata shells from 16 core-top samples from the tropical Indo-Pacific Oceans are analyzed for the ratios of boron and cadmium to calcium(B/Ca and Cd/Ca). The B/Ca ratios show a very weak positive relationship with [B(OH)_4~-] and the dissolved carbonate species at the apparent calcification depth of P.obliquiloculata. The boron partition coefficients(K_D) between P. obliquiloculata B/Ca and seawater[B(OH)_4~-]/[HCO_3~-] distribute around 1.1×10~(-3)-1.3×10~(-3) with a mean value of(1.19±0.12)×10~(-3),and are significantly related to the nutrient concentration, especially phosphate. The lack of any clear correlation between the P. obliquiloculata B/Ca and seawater carbonate chemical parameters suggests that the physiochemical controls on boron incorporation are masked by the complexity of natural seawater condition. But the significant dependence of Ku on nutrient may likely be explained by a nutrient related growth-rate effect. Cd/Ca of P.obliquiloculata shows significant correlation with seawater phosphate concentration, and its partition coefficients(D_(cd)) are significantly related to temperature. A first-principle methodology of P. obliquiloculata B/Ca is applied;with the aid of Cd/Ca as a phosphate proxy and a constraint on K_D, to estimating sea water carbonate chemistry(e.g., pH). The results are fairly promising and allow us to propose the possibility to apply the combination of B/Ca and Cd/Ca proxies(and also Mg/Ca and δ~(18)O for estimating temperature and salinity) for the paleoreconstruction of seawater carbonate chemistry.     

威海南部近岸泥质区晚更新世以来的重矿物组合特征及对物源的指示

对威海南部近岸泥质区WHZK01孔（孔深25.1 m）岩心开展重矿物分析,结果表明,WHZK01孔主要以普通角闪石（22.1%）、磁铁矿（20.0%）和绿帘石（17.7%）为主,晚更新世以来自下而上可分为3个矿物组合带。氧同位素3期晚期河流相沉积（DU3）主要矿物组合为普通角闪石-绿帘石。末次冰后期河漫滩-河口湾相沉积（DU2）主要矿物组合为普通角闪石-绿帘石-钛铁矿-褐铁矿。全新世滨-浅海相沉积（DU1）主要矿物组合为磁铁矿-绿帘石-片状矿物-自生黄铁矿。重矿物物源判别表明,DU3和DU2层沉积物主要来自山东半岛南部沿岸河流输入。DU1层沉积物主要来自沿岸流输运的大量黄河细粒物质,沿岸河流物质和岛屿侵蚀物也有少量贡献。

1700—1978年云南山地掌鸠河流域耕地时空演变的网格化重建

基于多源数据资料重建小尺度区域历史时期土地利用/覆盖变化,对深入理解土地利用变化的驱动力机制及其环境和气候效应具有重要意义。本文利用从流域尺度聚落格局演变重建到聚落尺度耕地数量和空间分布重建,再到流域尺度耕地格局重建的思路,以云南山地典型的中小流域为研究区,以历史文献资料、田野考察资料、历史地理学研究成果、档案资料、现代统计资料、地理基础数据为支撑,综合考虑区域自然因素（坡度、海拔高度）、人文因素（人口、政策、农业技术、耕地与居民点距离）,设计了历史时期山地小尺度区域耕地网格化重建模型,重建了1700—1978年具有明确时间和空间属性的网格化耕地格局。结果表明：① 掌鸠河流域的耕地面积近300 a增长6.3倍,垦殖率从1700年的2.1%上升到1978年的15.6%。② 不同地形区的耕地面积差异较为显著,其中山区和半山区的耕地面积最大,且增长速度最快;平坝区和中下游河谷区的耕地面积增长相对平缓,是自然环境、人口、政策和农业技术等因素综合作用的结果。③ 通过总耕地面积和人均耕地面积等对结果进行验证,证明了重建结果的合理性。本文设计的网格化重建模型可以为模拟具有明确时间和空间属性的小尺度区域历史耕地网格化数据集提供参考。

对南海北部89PC柱状样进行了浮游有孔虫定量统计分析、氧碳同位素测试、碳酸钙含量分析和AMS14C测年,并采用古生态转换函数计算了表层海水古温度和温跃层深度,揭示了该海区约127 ka以来的古海洋学特征。温跃层转换函数计算的温跃层深度结果表明,在MIS5-MIS4期,温跃层深度没有大的变化,在MIS3-MIS1期,温跃层的深度逐渐变深。古温度转换函数计算的古温度结果表明,夏季温度的变化范围为27.9~29.3℃,变化幅度为1.4℃,冬季温度变化范围为20.6~26.3℃,变化幅度为5.7℃。与南海南部的冬夏古水温资料进行对比,南海南部的温度比南海北部的温度要高,这种差异在冬季时表现更为突出,且在冰期时南海南部和北部的温度差异梯度进一步增大,指示了冰期时冬季风更加强盛。

中华绒螯蟹卵巢发育周期的组织学细胞学观察

于1989－1990年，用组织切片技术，结合外观特征，在光镜水平对浙北地区的中华绒螯蟹卵巢发育周期进行组织学、细胞学观察，并对从卵原细胞增殖到卵母细胞生长、卵子成熟及卵巢退化、重新发生等进行系统观察研究。研究表明，中华绒螯蟹可以观察到第一次成熟分裂中期相为成熟卵的标志，并以此标志将卵子发生分成四期、卵巢发育分成VII期。结果还表明，中华绒螯蟹雌蟹的成熟时间因所处的地理纬度不同而有所差异，浙北地区雌蟹促产怀卵的最佳时间是3月份并延至4月上旬；卵子必须借助海水及交配活动刺激才能达到成熟；因故无法产卵或一直生活在淡水中的成熟雌蟹其整个卵巢即退化，退化卵巢亦能重新发生，新生卵子的形态、发育时序与首次等待青春期蜕壳的蟹一致；孵后母蟹不仅能继续蜕壳生长，其卵巢也能重新发生，新生卵子的形态、发育时序如前一致；但在卵巢结构上彼此又有明显的区别。
