黄河平渡关段全新世古洪水滞流沉积物研究

通过对黄河中游晋陕峡谷段的深入调查研究,在山西省大宁县平渡关基岩峡谷河段左岸沟口岩棚内发现了全新世古洪水滞流沉积层剖面。根据野外宏观特征及沉积环境,鉴别出平渡关(PDG)剖面夹有4层古洪水滞流沉积物。结合粒度成分、磁化率、烧失量、CaCO³含量等室内分析测定结果,确定为河流悬移质和跃移质在高水位滞流环境当中的沉积物,是典型的古洪水滞流沉积物。不同层次沉积物是不同古洪水事件的客观记录,既有细沙质粉沙,也有细沙或者中沙,反映出其物质来源的不同或者水动力大小的差异。粒度自然分布频率曲线为正偏和极正偏,主峰高且尖锐,表明其分选良好,其粒度概率累积分布曲线为典型的两段式。沉积物磁化率和烧失量均低于全新世风成黄土和古土壤,CaCO³含量介于古土壤和黄土之间,说明在黄河晋陕峡谷段,洪水所携带的悬移质泥沙是流域内黄土区和风沙区水土流失物质的混合物。     

黄河壶口至龙门段全新世古洪水滞流沉积物研究

通过野外考察,在黄河晋陕峡谷发现全新世古洪水滞流沉积物地层。对于采取的沉积物和黄土古土壤样品,进行磁化率、烧失量、碳酸钙和粒度成分的测试分析。综合野外观测和实验分析结果,确定它们是黄河悬移质泥沙在高水位滞流环境当中的沉积物。其主要成分是粉沙,次要成分为细沙,据此确定其质地属于细沙质粉沙。其磁化率略高于黄河河床相沙质沉积物,但是远低于全新世风成黄土和古土壤。其频率曲线为极正偏态,主峰高而且尖锐,表明分析性很好,粒度成分很集中。这是因为其在黄河洪水当中长距离搬运分选的结果。与泾河、洛河和漆水河比较,黄河晋陕峡谷全新世古洪水沉积物粒度成分偏粗。这表明黄河洪水搬运动力较强,且其悬移质泥沙是流域内黄土地区和风沙地区水土流失产物的混合物。这些特大洪水沉积层之间,被坡积角砾石或者石渣土层分隔开来,每一层记录了一个古洪水事件。

以汉江上游谷地郧县辽瓦店全新世古洪水滞流沉积剖面为研究对象,对其进行了洪水沉积学和水文学研究,并对其粒度组成、磁化率、烧矢量等理化性质进行了测量。结果证明,辽瓦店(LWD)剖面中夹有典型的古洪水滞流沉积物(SWD),它记录了一次特大洪水事件。利用地层学方法确定该次洪水事件发生在AD100-300之间(东汉-魏晋时代之间)。根据沉积学和水文学原理恢复了古洪水的洪峰水位在159.80m,以此计算出洪峰流量为65 420m3/s。根据2011年9月19日汉江洪水洪峰水位痕迹高程并利用相同方法反推洪水流量,所获流量数据与实测数据误差小于1%。     

黄河柳林滩段全新世古洪水滞流沉积物物源研究

通过对黄河中游进行古洪水沉积学研究和水文学研究,为超长尺度水文学提供数据基础。对黄河中游晋陕峡谷段进行详细的考察,在黄河窟野河口右侧柳林滩附近发现3层全新世古洪水滞流沉积物(SWD)。光释光(OSL)测年结果表明,这一期3次古洪水事件分别发生在11 800~11 000aB.P.,10 800~10 200a B.P.,10 600~9 600aB.P.。通过对样品进行磁化率、烧失量、粒度成分、化学元素和扫描电镜的试验分析,确定其为河流悬移质泥沙在高水位滞流环境下的产物,是典型的古洪水滞流沉积物。其中,古洪水SWD的磁化率和烧失量较古土壤低,说明其是新鲜的滞流沉积物,未受到风化成壤作用的影响。3层古洪水SWD的自然分布频率曲线都呈现单峰,峰态尖锐,为极正偏态,说明其分选性好。扫描电镜的分析表明,3层SWD属于河流沙,偏关县L0属于典型的黄土—风积粉砂。不同层次的沉积物记录了不同期次的古洪水事件,反映出其水动力大小的不同或物质来源的差异。结合粒度分析和化学元素的结果,确定古洪水SWD2、SWD3与现代洪水SWD均为细沙质粉沙,化学成分相同,表明是黄河主流大洪水悬移质沉积形成。古洪水SWD1为中沙,与SWD2、SWD3在常量元素和重金属元素含量上有显著差异,而与前人在毛乌素沙漠地区所进行的粒度和元素分析结果接近,说明本层古洪水SWD是支流窟野河流域暴雨洪水从毛乌素沙漠地区侵蚀搬运而沉积下来的物质。该研究成果为今后准确鉴别古洪水SWD及来源判断提供参考借鉴。

渭河流域全新世古洪水滞流沉积物地球化学特征

对渭河流域野外实地详细调查,在渭河中游发现了具有典型古洪水滞流沉积物(SWD)的全新世黄土-古土壤沉积剖面。根据地层学对比和OSL测年,确定渭河流域在3200-2800aB.P.发生了特大古洪水事件。对沉积物地球化学特征分析表明,SWD为典型的古洪水滞流沉积物,各化学元素和氧化物的变异系数大,元素数据分布较为分散;Fe2O3、Al2O3、Ba、Cr、Cu、V、Rb含量高于S0和L0,SiO2、Zr含量低于S0和L0;化学元素粒度效应表明,SWD粒径小、粘粒强,是在滞流环境的水动力条件下沉积而成;通过气候指标Rb/Sr和Ba/Sr分析,认为古洪水滞流沉积物(SWD)记录的3200-2800aB.P.的特大古洪水事件,是在全新世大暖期结束之际,因夏季风减弱、气候系统不稳定、降水变率较大所导致的。     

应用植被洪痕重现历史洪水

为了在峡谷中重建历史洪水,对2个垂直分布的假定只受大型罕见洪水影响的沟谷、河岸的植被特征进行调查,对过去20 a里主要洪水事件期间的洪峰流量和平摊流量的最大水位进行评估。通过对1993年暴雨下植被洪痕进行调查,对洪峰流量和平滩流量进行评价,洪水上涨到河岸的下侧部分,但是没有洪水溢流到两个调查点的表面;此外,调查点下游对面斜坡上发生的滑坡产生了一个滑坡坝,滑坡坝的构造可能引起局部溢流到下游调查点。因此,了解峡谷河流系统中的洪水行为,就要调查水文特征、规模、流量、频率和横向输入河流的泥沙时空方式等基本信息。

Tomato glycoalkaloids: role in the plant and in the diet

Tomatoes, a major food source for humans, accumulate a variety of secondary metabolites including phenolic compounds, phytoalexins, protease inhibitors, and glycoalkaloids. These metabolites protect against adverse effects of hosts of predators including fungi, bacteria, viruses, and insects. Because glycoalkaloids are reported to be involved in host-plant resistance, on the one hand, and to have a variety of pharmacological and nutritional properties in animals and humans, on the other, a need exists to develop a better understanding of the role of these compounds both in the plant and in the diet. To contribute to this effort, this integrated review presents data on the history, composition, and nutrition of tomatoes, with special focus on the assessment of the chemistry, analysis, composition, nutrition, microbiology, and pharmacology of the tomato glycoalkaloids comprising alpha-tomatine and dehydrotomatine; their content in different parts of the tomato plant, in processed tomato products, and in wild and transgenic tomatoes; their biosynthesis, inheritance, metabolism, and catabolism; plant-microbe relationships with fungi, bacteria, viruses, insects, and worms; interactions with ergosterol and cholesterol; disruption of cell membranes; tomatine-induced tomatinases, pantothenate synthetase, steroid hydroxylases, and cytokines; and inhibition of acetylcholinesterase. Also covered are tomato-human pathogen relationships and tomatine-induced lowering of plasma cholesterol and triglycerides and enhancement of the immune system. Further research needs in each of these areas are suggested. The overlapping aspects are discussed in terms of general concepts for a better understanding of the impact of tomato glycoalkaloids in the plant in general and in food in particular. Such an understanding can lead to the creation of improved tomatoes and to improved practices on the farm and in the consumption of tomatoes.     

Coregionalization of trace metals in the soil in the Swiss Jura

The provenance of trace metals in soil, whether from the parent material or from pollution, is rarely known with certainty, and the metals' history must usually be pieced together from fragmentary statistical information. This is particularly true in the Swiss Jura where the concentrations of several heavy metals around La Chaux de Fonds exceed the statutory recommended thresholds for safety. The topsoil of the 14.5-km² region was sampled on a square grid at 250-m intervals with additional nesting with distances of 100 m, 40 m, 16 m and 6 m. The concentrations of seven potentially toxic metals, namely Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn, were measured. Their coregionalization could be represented by a linear model consisting of a nugget component plus two spherical structures with ranges of 0.2 km and 1.3 km. The short-range component dominated the variograms of Cd, Cr, Cu and Pb; the long-range component dominated those of Co and Ni; the variogram of Zn combined the two in approximately equal proportions. The coregionalization matrices contain moderate correlation among the nugget and the short-range components, notably between Cu and Pb, between Cd and Zn, and between Cr, Ni and Zn. The strongest correlations are at the long range between Co, Cr and Ni, and to a somewhat smaller degree between Zn and Co. Analysis of variance showed Co and Ni to be related to geology, and to the Argovian formation in particular. The indicator variogram of this formation has also a short-range component. The analysis also showed Cr and Cu to be related to land use (in different ways). Copper and Pb are strongly correlated to one another and distinct from the five other metals. The long-range structure is almost certainly a geological effect, whereas the one of short range probably results from both the geology and human activities.     

Minerals in the three-component combination of agrochernozems in the Kamennaya Steppe

Properties and mineralogy of fine fractions separated from agrochernozems forming a three-component noncontrasting soil combination in the Kamennaya Steppe have been characterized. The soil cover consists of zooturbated (Haplic Chernozems (Clayic, Aric, Pachic, Calcaric)), migrational-mycelial (Haplic Chernozems (Clayic, Aric, Pachic)), and clay-illuvial (Luvic Chernozems (Clayic, Aric, Pachic)) agrochernozems. All the soils are deeply quasi-gleyed because of periodical groundwater rise. The mineralogy of the fraction <1μm includes irregular mica–smectite interstratifications, di- and trioctahedral hydromicas, imperfect kaolinite, and magnesium–iron chlorite. The profile distribution of these minerals slightly varies depending on the subtype of spot-forming soils. A uniform distribution of clay minerals is observed in zooturbated agrochernozem; a poorly manifested eluvial–illuvial distribution of the smectite phase is observed in the clay-illuvial agrochernozem. The fractions of fine (1–5 μm) and medium (5–10 μm) silt consist of quartz, micas, potassium feldspars, plagioclases, kaolinite, and chlorite. There is no dominant mineral, because the share of each mineral is lower than 35–45%. The silt fractions differ in the quartz-to-mica ratio. The medium silt fraction contains more quartz, and the fine silt fraction contains more micas.     

Accumulation of chemical elements in the raised peatbogs of the subtaiga Trans-Urals in the Holocene

The results of studying the variability of the geochemical parameters of the layers of the Sartamskii upland peatbog in the south of Tyumen oblast based on the radiocarbon time scale are given. Four basic types of peat and stages of peat deposits formation in the Holocene are distinguished: the organomineral layer of the sediments in a paleolake (up to 5065 ± 60 years ago), the low moor layer (4300–4900 years ago), the transitional layer (3100–4300 years ago), and the high moor peat (250–3100 years ago). The upper peat layer (last 200–300 years) significantly differs from its main portion; in particular, it is characterized by an increased ash content and the accumulation of a number of elements. The relationship between the various characteristics of the deposit is analyzed using principal component analysis, and the conditions of the formation of the peat deposit in different time periods are estimated, including the climatic conditions (in relative units). The anthropogenic signal of the accumulation of some elements in wetland systems is identified.

Inferences from fluctuations in the local variogram about the assumption of stationarity in the variance

Geostatistics is commonly used to describe and predict the variation of soil properties over the landscape. However, many geostatistical methods require the assumption that our observed data are a realization of a random function which is intrinsically stationarity. Under stationarity, observations of a single realization of the random function at different positions can be treated as a form of replication. There are various ways in which a random function may breach the assumption of intrinsic stationarity and numerous geostatistical techniques have been developed that are able to cope with some forms of non-stationarity. What is currently needed is a set of diagnostic tools capable of detecting and identifying when data cannot plausibly be treated as a realization of a process which is stationary in the variance.In this paper, we propose an inferential method that can identify when stationarity in the variance cannot plausibly be assumed. The basis of our approach is to obtain a model for the random function under the assumption of intrinsic stationarity. If the global dataset can be regarded as a realization of a Gaussian process (perhaps after transformation), then the global variogram is sufficient for this purpose. By using a window-based method to locally estimate variograms, we can define some statistic of homogeneity of the sample variation of the data. This allows us to obtain a sample distribution for this statistic, under the null hypothesis of intrinsic stationarity, by generating multiple realizations of the postulation random function at the original sample points using Monte Carlo methods and recomputing the statistic for each realization. We selected as statistics the interquartile ranges of: i) the spatial dependence ratio (s), the proportion c₁ / (c₀ + c₁), ii) a distance parameter (a), which is the maximum lag over which the random function is autocorrelated for variograms like the spherical, and iii) the local variances (v; c₀ + c₁), where (c₀) is the nugget component and (c₁) the spatially structured component. We demonstrated this method using data from the large scale sampling (n = 1341 over 8248 km²) of the Florida Everglades, United States.
