三峡水库对长江河口北支咸潮倒灌影响探讨

为了解三峡水库的运行对长江河口北支咸潮倒灌的影响,对三峡水库初步运行前后北支咸潮倒灌的变化进行了分析.结果表明:三峡水库运行后,受水库下泄水量变化影响,北支咸潮倒灌时间提前,10~11月咸潮倒灌强度增加,12月至次年4月倒灌强度减弱,咸潮倒灌强度的降幅小于增幅;在咸潮倒灌最为严重和长江口淡水利用最为重要的1~4月,水库的实际运行所引起的北支咸潮倒灌减弱的幅度并不大;三峡水库的实际运行使得北支咸潮倒灌的强度在各月重新分配,但对一年中整个咸潮期咸潮倒灌的总强度影响不大;水库运行后,北支极端咸潮倒灌的强度降低,这对提高长江口水源地的供水安全及保证率有利.     

Evidences of increasing primary production in the ocean by Stommel's perpetual salt fountain

The American physical oceanographer Henry Stommel and co-workers proposed “the perpetual salt fountain” and suggested the possibility of upwelling deep seawater without an energy source. In the open ocean, deep seawater containing rich nutrients becomes a source of primary production. Previously, we have tested Stommel's hypothesis by numerical simulations and in ocean experiments, and confirmed the upwelling of a perpetual salt fountain. In the present study, we conducted an open-ocean experiment in the Philippines Sea, and succeeded to demonstrate an increase in chlorophyll concentration. The chlorophyll concentration at the pipe outlet was much greater than that in the surrounding seawater. Satellite ocean-color image around the pipe was analyzed, and the signal of artificial upwelling is investigated. Composite analysis of satellite chlorophyll image indicates an increased surface chlorophyll distribution in the vicinity of pipe position, in which the increasing signal is much larger than the expected production based on nutrient supply. Although the problem must be further discussed, this increased signal is shown to be statistically significant. This mechanism may contribute to effective utilization of fishery resources in subtropical oligotrophic region.     

西非加蓬海岸盆地盐岩特征及其石油地质意义

加蓬海岸盆地主要分为南加蓬次盆和北加蓬次盆,是典型的西非被动大陆边缘含盐盆地,盐岩的分布具有一定规律性和差异性,并且对盆地内油气成藏具有重要的控制作用。分析了加蓬海岸盆地的构造演化与沉积充填特征、基本石油地质条件、盐岩的分布特征及其对盆地烃源岩特征、储层分布、圈闭特征、封盖条件、油气成藏,以及油气藏储量等各方面的影响与控制作用,并指出,由于加蓬海岸盆地的绝大多数油气成藏都与盐岩密不可分,因此深化盆地内盐岩展布特征的研究,对进一步评价北加蓬次盆的盐下层系及南次盆登泰尔地堑的勘探潜力具有重要意义。     

地名与广东历史时期盐业分布研究

地名是人们赋予一特定空间位置上自然或人文地理实体的专有名称,是人们为了交往而产生的语言代号。作为语言的化石,地名对特定历史时期和区域文化具有指示作用。广东地处我国南方边陲沿海,具有发展海盐业的有利条件。宋代以来,广东海盐业的兴旺,在地名上留下深刻烙印。以广东现在遗留盐业地名,反观历史时期盐业发展,揭示广东盐业发展过程和规律,为研究历史时期盐业发展和当今盐业开发提供借鉴。     

An assessment of borehole sealing performance in a salt environment

 Design of plugs for abandonment of boreholes and shafts may be governed by the bond strength between the plug and host rock. This paper presents the results of push-out tests on cement grout plugs in salt. Two types of expandable cement grouts have been tested. The average interface shear strengths ranged from 2 to 12 MPa (290 to 1740 psi). Peak shear stresses at failure, assuming an elastic stress distribution along the interface, were up to eight times higher. Standard deviations commonly reached 20%. Dissolution along the interface was observed, and may have been enhanced by clay inclusions in the salt. This dissolution appears to have reduced bond strengths. Application of the results to the design of plugs for larger openings (for example, shafts, drifts, or boreholes) is discussed. Received: 6 March 1996 · Accepted: 16 July 1996     

Nitrogen losses from a Louisiana Gulf Coast salt marsh

Losses of ¹⁵N labelled nitrogen in a Spartina alterniflora salt marsh was measured over three growing seasons. Labelled $\text{NH}{}_4{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{N}$ equivalent to 100 μg ¹⁵N g^?1 of dry soil was added in four instalments over an eight week period. Recovery of the added nitrogen ranged from 93% 5 months after addition of the $\text{NH}{}_4{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{N}$ to 52% at the end of the third growing season which represented a nitrogen loss equivalent to 3·4 gNm^?2. The availability of the labelled $\text{NH}{}_4{}^{\mathrm{+}}\text{N}$ incorporated into the organic fraction was estimated by calculation of the rate of mineralization. The time required for mineralization of 1% of the tagged organic N increases progressively with succeeding cuttings of the S. alterniflora and ranged from 152 to 299 days. Only 2% of the nitrogen applied as ¹⁵N labelled plant material to the marsh surface in the fall could be accounted for in S. alterniflora the following season.     

Winter chemical leaching from deciduous tree branches as a function of branch inclination angle in central Massachusetts

Leaching is an important process in the biogeochemical cycling of nutrients from above‐ground vegetative surfaces to the forest floor. Little is known about winter leaching from deciduous tree species and the influence of branch inclination angle on leachate chemistry. Using a set of field‐based isolated branches harvested from mature crowns of Betula lenta, Carya glabra and Quercus rubra, we tested the null hypothesis that during winter neither branch inclination angle nor branch species would have a detectable influence on differences in leachate chemistry and the quantity of intercepted precipitation from the branch surface. Leachate concentrations were significantly greater from branches inclined at 20° than 5° or 38°. Absolute nutrient inputs were also greatest for branches inclined at 20°. The significantly enriched branchflow and greater total nutrient input from branches inclined at 20° were attributed to increased residence time of intercepted precipitation with the branch surface, the lower probability of branch drip than branches inclined at 5°, and only minimal differences in branchflow quantity compared with branches inclined at 38°. Branchflow was more enriched from all three branch angles during precipitation events of longer duration and lower intensity than shorter, intense events. The leachate quantities of K⁺ and Ca²⁺ differ significantly among species. Carya glabra and Quercus rubra leached more K⁺ than Betula lenta. All three species leached significantly different amounts of Ca²⁺, with Quercus rubra leaching the most and Carya glabra the least. The adaptive geometry of deciduous canopy trees should be considered in relation to the interception of precipitation and aqueous leaching during winter when the canopy is leafless.

Seasonal distribution of bacteria in salt marsh sediments in North Carolina

The number and size of bacteria at four depths (0–1, 5–6, 10–11 and 20–21 cm) in a North Carolina salt marsh were minotored by direct counts for 13 months. The number of bacteria reached a maximum of about 1·4 × 10¹⁰ cells cm^?3 at the sediment surface in October, corresponding to the period of Spartina alterniflora die-back. Cell numbers were lowest and most consistent throughout the year at the 20 cm depth of sediment. Cell volumes averaged 0·2 μm³ at the marsh surface and decreased with depth. Mean standing crop of bacteria to a depth of 20 cm of sediment was about 14 g bacterial carbon m^?2. In surface sediments bacteria contribute up to 15% and algae up to 10% of total living microbial biomass as estimated by adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Bacteria were the major biomass component at sediment depths of 5, 10 and 20 cm. At all depths the microbial community contributes < 4% total organic carbon and < 8% of total nitrogen.     

石灰岩山地淡竹林“岩石-土壤-植物”的元素分布与迁移积聚特征

本研究以石灰岩山地淡竹林为研究对象,测定了岩石、土壤和4种淡竹群落植物[优势种淡竹(Phyllostachys glauca),伴生种枸骨(Ilex cornuta)、油茶(Camellia oleifera)和胡颓子(Elaeagnus pungens）]的N、P、K、Ca、Mg、Fe、Al、Mn和Na等9种元素含量,对元素迁移积聚特征进行了分析,结果表明:（1）淡竹林石灰岩Ca含量高（363.09 g· kg-1）;土壤Ca含量下降至2.68 g·kg-1,Fe、Al含量升高（48.12 g·kg-1、84.00 g·kg-1）;与土壤相比,植物N、P和Ca含量上升,其他元素含量则降低;（2）从岩石到土壤,Ca为纯迁移,迁移积累系数仅为0.01;Fe和Al明显富集,迁移积累系数分别高达9.98和14.10;从土壤到植物,N、Ca、P为富集,Fe、Al生物吸收系数很低,仅为1.41和2.08;（3）除K外,群落优势种淡竹的元素含量和生物吸收系数均小于伴生种。研究发现,强淋溶作用下淡竹林石灰岩发育为酸性红石灰土,其生长的植物均非喜钙植物;“岩石—土壤—植物”元素迁聚特征因土壤发育过程和植物种间特征而异,红石灰土Ca积累少;淡竹对土壤元素需求少可能是其在石灰岩生境占据竞争优势的生理基础。
