چکیده

We measured abundance and surface area of picoand nano-sized organic particles that are stained by 4’6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (Dapi), namely Dapi yellow particles. This study was done monthly from April 1999 to March 2000 from surface down to 2000 m at the French-JGOFS time-series station Dyfamed in the NW Mediterranean. Dapi yellow particles were always observed throughout the water column and the total surface area of Dapi yellow particles 0.2–10 μm ranged from 0.5 to 51.5 mm l. Dapi yellow particles were generally less abundant in the surface layer, greater between 70 and 500 m and decreased toward 2000 m. During the mixing period, Dapi yellow particles were homogeneous throughout the upper 200 m, suggesting that distribution of Dapi yellow particles was influenced by the hydrological structure. Dapi yellow particles correlated positively with inorganic nutrients (NO3, PO4 and Si) and negatively with dissolved oxygen concentration (P < 0.05). These results suggest that abundant Dapi yellow particles from the bottom of the euphotic layer to the intermediate layer reflect the process of particle degradation in the ocean. © 2003 Éditions scientifiques et médicales Elsevier SAS and Ifremer/CNRS/IRD.

Bed loadmotion and grain sorting in ameandering stream Charriage et fractionnement dans une rivière àméandres

A three-dimensional moment analysis defines both particle mobility and the average orientation angle of moving bedload particles in meander bends. Accordingly, under identical bed shear stress and near-bed streamline orientation angle on a side slope, bedload particles of different sizes move in different directions. This sorting mechanism has been verified in the sharp meander bends of Fall Ri...

Synergistic stem volume response to combinations of vegetation control and seedling size in conifer plantations in Oregon

There are few published studies examining the effects of the interaction of seedling size and vegetation control on the growth of Pacific Northwest conifer species. Data from two vegetation management studies encompassing five planting sites, four conifer species, and two stock types were analyzed to determine the relative effects of seedling size at planting and intensity of vegetation control...

Diel vertical migration in the Lake Superior pelagic community. I. Changes in vertical migration of coregonids in response to varying predation risk

The distribution of fishes is influenced by a host of physico-chemical and biological variables, including temperature and oxygen, prey abundance, feeding or assimilation rates, and predation risk. We used hydroacoustics and midwater trawls to measure the vertical distribution of pelagic fishes during a series of research cruises on Lake Superior’s western arm in 2001 and 2004. Our objective wa...

Laboratory and field assessment of an infrared turbidity probe and its response to particle size and variation in suspended sediment concentration

Using a combination of laboratory and field experiments, the performance of a Partech Instruments Ltd IR40-C active head suspended solids sensor has been tested with respect to changing particle size distribution and rapid variation in suspended sediment transport rate. The sensor, which utilizes light attenuation in the infrared waveband, has several advantages both over visible light optical ...

Three-dimensional mapping of light transmittance and foliage distribution using lidar

The horizontal and vertical distributions of light transmittance were evaluated as a function of foliage distribution using lidar (light detection and ranging) observations for a sugar maple (Acer saccharum) stand in the Turkey Lakes Watershed. Along the vertical profile of vegetation, horizontal slices of probability of light transmittance were derived from an Optech ALTM 1225 instrument’s ret...
