Importance of active tectonics during karst formation. A Middle Eocene to Pleistocene example of the Lina Moutains (Irian Jaya,Indonesia)

Abstract

The Lina Moutains show a typical example of karst formation associated to recent and active tectonics. The limestone samples were collected from giant potholes present beneath the heavy rainforest, during speleological expeditions to the Bird’s Head of Irian-Jaya. Micropalaeontological data allow us to give a Middle Pleistocene age for the most recent karst formation. A detailed stratigraphy between the Upper Lutetian and the Middle Pleistocene was recorded, with tectonic events during the Oligocene and Pleistocene. The edge of the resurgence layer was also dated. We also conclude the probable existence of a subterraneous network downhill of the karst within the most recent levels of the Kais Limestone formation. We replace this formation within the tectonic evolution of this area between the Eocene and the Middle Pleistocene, in conjunction with the oblique convergence of the Pacific plate carrying volcanic arc fragments and the Australian margin, which resulted in folding, normal faulting associated with local extension, and wrench motion, which are settings capable of creating uplift of the carbonated platform. © Elsevier, Paris     

盐城滨海滩涂表层沉积物重金属生态风险评价

使用Arc GIs软件对江苏盐城国家级珍禽自然保护区内核心区外围滩涂表层沉积物中的镉(Cd)、铬(Cr)、铜(Cu)、铅(Pb)、锌(Zn)及镍(Ni)6种重金属含量及其分布特征进行空间插值分析,并采用环境风险指数法(HPERI)和Hakanson潜在生态危害指数法(ERI)进行重金属生态风险评价,旨在为滨海湿地生态系统健康和环境保护提供科学依据,为滨海保护区的开发利用提出合理化建议。研究结果发现,Cr、Ni、Pb的含量均高于背景值;Cu、Zn、Cd、Pb 4种重金属含量均低于国家I类标准,属I类沉积物;Cr为Ⅱ类沉积;环境风险指数法表明该区域Cr对环境污染的影响最大,综合环境风险由东南至西北呈现先增大、后减小、再增大的趋势;Hakanson潜在生态危害指数法结果表明Cd的潜在生态危害最大,综合潜在生态风险与环境风险指数的变化规律大致一致,以新洋港入海口和渔业活动最密集处为最高。六种重金属的综合潜在生态危害指数RI值均在40以下,远小于150,总体也属非常轻微程度的生态危害。     

辽宁北票鸟化石群国家级自然保护区地层与生物群

辽宁北票鸟化石群国家级自然保护区,地层主要包括金岭寺群上部土城子组和热河群下部义县组。保护区鸟类化石群保存完好,仅“核心区”２ｋｍ２就共采出鸟化石约８００枚,已鉴定出６属８种,创下了古鸟类研究史上鸟化石数量最多、鸟化石层位最多、埋藏密度最大的纪录,同时它们与７门１８纲２７类化石共存。保护区的鸟类化石、被子植物化石对其起源和早期演化等研究具有重要意义。建议国家有关方面向联合国教科文组织申报辽宁北票鸟化石群国家级自然保护区为世界文化遗产或重要科学遗址。

Abundance and diversity of small-bird assemblages in the Monte desert, Argentina

Assemblages of small bird species (<90 g body mass) from the Monte desert in Argentina were studied to analyze spatial and temporal variation in abundance and species richness. Mean species richness was higher during breeding season than in non-breeding season. The same pattern was observed in aerial insectivores, while granivores and substrate insectivores did not differ between breeding and non-breeding seasons. Overall bird abundance was similar across seasons. Species richness was positively correlated with bird abundance and negatively correlated with dominance; bird abundance and dominance were not correlated. These patterns could be explained by distinct responses of functional groups of birds; dominant species were granivores in the non-breeding season and aerial insectivores during the breeding season, and bird abundance in functional groups changed according to food supply. Most species are residents or regular migrants, while there are few nomadic and transient species. Predictable annual fluctuations in rainfall and resource availability should favor a migratory strategy more than nomadic movements. Similarly, breeding is strongly seasonal and most species start breeding when the first summer rains have generally not yet fallen. Finally, concordances in assemblage structure at local and regional scale suggest that similar mechanisms are acting on the local bird assemblages across the Monte.
