Transport of nutrients and organic matter in a mangrove swamp

Field observations of the tidal transport of nutrients and organic matter in a mangrove swamp on Ishigaki Island, Okinawa, Japan revealed that groundwater flow from the swamp plays a significant role in increasing concentration of dissolved inorganic phosphorous and organic matter in a major channel. In contrast, dissolved inorganic nitrogen is transported from the mangrove swamps via surface water flow in the small channels of the swamp.     

三向应力状态下单结构面岩石试样破坏机制与真三轴试验研究

针对含结构面岩石的脆性破坏现象,探讨了三向应力条件下岩体破坏的单结构面控制效应。利用真三轴试验进行验证,系统研究了单结构面岩石试样在模拟工程岩体开挖卸荷与支护应力路径下的力学行为、结构控制规律及声发射（AE）特征等。研究表明,(1) 三向应力下单结构面控制效应能够较好地描述工程岩体的结构控制规律和卸荷、支护作用,真三轴试验结果与理论分析较为吻合;(2) 开挖卸荷与支护应力路径下,含结构面岩体的破坏模式、卸荷的影响和支护效果等均与应力状态、支护强度及结构面参数有关,可依据结构控制规律,从工程方位布置、提供合理支护等方面采取措施避免岩体发生结构控制破坏;(3) 试样的AE活动和能量释放规律与完整试样相似,但结构面的存在降低了试样储能能力,且95 %以上的应变能在破坏阶段突然释放。试验研究和结构面控制效应的探讨对地下工程岩体开挖支护有一定的指导意义。     

Seasonal and spatial variation in species diversity, abundance, and element accumulation capacities of macroalgae in mangrove forests of Zhanjiang, China

The objective of this study was to investigate whether there was distinctive seasonal and zonal variation in the species diversity, biomass, and element accumulation capacities of macroalgae in two major intertidal mangrove stand types （Avicennia marina assemblage andSonneratia apetala assemblage） in the Zhanjiang region of southern China. Over a year, 31 species in 15 genera were identified in both mangrove assem-blages, of which the dominant species wereCladophoropsis zollingeriand Enteromorpha clathrat.Macroal-gal species were significantly most abundant in spring （p〈0.05）, followed by summer, winter, and autumn. Variation in the zonal distribution of macroalgal species was conspicuous in both intertidal mangrove as-semblages, with the greatest abundance in the middle zone, and the least in the front zone. Patterns in the seasonal and zonal variation in macroalgal biomass in theS. apetalaassemblage were similar to those of macroalgal species diversity in both mangrove assemblages. The seasonal patterns in tissue concentrations of 15 analyzed elements were not uniform among the macroalgaeC. zollingeri,E. clathrata, andGracilaria salicornia in theA. marina assemblage. All three species exhibited variation in their responses to ambient concentrations of different elements, implying their differential ability to absorb and selectively accumulate certain elements.     

三维应力状态下粗粒料强度特性试验研究

粗粒料所处的应力状态具有随时间和空间而变的特点,往往处于较复杂的三维应力状态下。通过粗粒料大型真三轴各向等压固结等比例加载试验,研究了不同中主应力系数条件下粗粒料的强度特性。试验结果表明：中主应力对粗粒料的强度有重要影响,三维应力状态下,粗粒料的强度比常规三轴应力状态下有较大提高,大小主应力之差与大主应变关系曲线也更加陡峭;中主应力系数b从0增大到0.25时,破坏时大小主应力之差增加了39%～50%;摩尔–库仑强度参数咬合力c和内摩擦角? 均随着中主应力系数b的增大而增大,其中咬合力c的增长较为显著,特别是b从0增大到0.25时;相同小主应力条件下,b = 0时,破坏偏应力与球应力之比最小,b = 0.25时,破坏应力比达到最大值,随着b的增大破坏应力比又有所减小;相同中主应力系数条件下,随着小主应力的增大,破坏应力比逐渐减小。

火山岩相的岩屑识别——以松辽盆地南部东岭探区为例

以松辽盆地南部东岭探区为例,建立了用火山岩钻井岩屑来确定火山岩亚相的方法和工作流程。首先辨别真假岩屑,然后用真岩屑制片并进行薄片鉴定。根据火山岩显微镜下的岩性、结构和构造特征与火山岩岩相和亚相的对应关系确定其所对应的火山岩岩相和亚相。岩屑法对于厚度在一个采样间距（1 m）以上的火山岩层段可以准确定出火山岩亚相,与岩心鉴定结果的符合率大于90％。此外,该方法亦可校正录井岩性。用该方法对东岭地区15口探井火山岩段的录井岩性岩相进行了识别校正,提高了井间岩性岩相和储层对比的精度。     

Litterfall dynamics and nutrient decomposition of arid mangroves in the Gulf of California: Their role sustaining ecosystem heterotrophy

This study shows results on litterfall dynamics and decay in mangrove stands of Avicennia germinans distributed along a latitudinal gradient (three forest sites) in the Gulf of California, in order to assess whether internal sources could support the observed mangrove ecosystem organic deficit in this arid tropic. Total mean annual litterfall production increased southward (712.6 ± 53.3, 1501.3 ± 145.1 and 1506.2 ± 280.5 g DW m⁻² y⁻¹, in the Yaqui, Mayo and Fuerte areas respectively), leaves being the main component of litter in all locations during the entire year, followed by fruits. The wet season (June–September) showed the highest litterfall rates through fruits. The temporal trend of litterfall production was significantly explained through mean air temperature (R² = 68%) whilst total annual litter production in the entire region showed a statistically significant relationship with total soil phosphorus, salinity, total nitrogen, organic matter and tree height (R² = 0.67). Throughout 117 days of the decomposition experiment, the litter lost 50% of its original dry weight in 5.8 days (average decay rate of 0.032 ± 0.04 g DW d⁻¹) and there were not significant differences in the remaining mass after 6 days. The percentage of both C and P released from the litter correlated significantly with the ratio of tidal inundated days to total experiment days (R² = 0.62, p = 0.03 and R² = 0.67, p = 0.02, respectively); however, the frequency of tidal inundation only showed a significant increase in C release from Avicennia litter after 6 and above 48 days of decomposition. Whereas the total C content of litter bags decreased linearly over the decomposition to (% Total C = 5.52 − 0.46 days, R² = 0.81, p = 0.0005), N content displayed an irregular pattern with a significant increase of decay between 48 and 76 days from the beginning of the experiment. The pattern for relative P content of litter revealed reductions of up to 99% of the original (%tot-P = −9.77 to 1.004 days, R² = 0.72, p = 0.01) although most of the P reduction occurred between 17 and 34 days after the experiment started. Soil N and P contents, which exhibited significant differences in the course of the decomposition experiment, appeared to show significant differences between sampling sites, although they were not related to tidal influence, nor by leaf and nutrient leaching. In a global basis, C/N litter ratios decreased linearly (C/N = 32.86 − 0.1006 days, R² = 0.62, p = 0.02), showing a strong and significant correlation with meteorological variables (R² = 0.99, p = 0.01). C/P ratios of litter increased through an exponential function (C/P = 119.35e^0.04day, R² = 0.89, p < 0.001). Changes in the remaining percentage of litter mass during the experiment were significantly correlated with soil C/N ratio (R² = 0.56, p = 0.03) as well as with the soil C/P ratio (R² = 0.98, p < 0.001). Our results of litter decomposition dynamics in this mangrove support the fact of null net primary productivity of the arid mangrove wetlands: fast litter decomposition compensates the ecosystem organic deficit in order to sustain the mangrove productivity. Litter decomposition plays a key role in the ecosystem metabolism in mangroves of arid tropics.
