Application of nitrogen stable isotope analysis in size-based marine food web and macroecological research.
Interacting human and environmental pressures influence the structure and dynamics of marine food webs. To describe and predict the effects of these pressures, theoretical advances need to be supported by a capacity to validate the underlying models and assumptions. Here, we review recent applications of nitrogen stable isotope analysis in marine food web and macroecological research, with a fo...
متن کاملStable isotope analysis in fisheries food webs
Stable isotope analysis has been used as a technique to analyse fisheries food webs for a quarter of a century, and remains the principal method for determining energy and nutrient pathways from primary producers to consumers in aquatic ecosystems. Carbon isotope analysis has been used to distinguish autotrophs at the base of inshore and offshore fisheries food webs. The combination of nitrogen...
متن کاملStable isotope evidence of long-term changes in the North Sea food web structure
A temporal change in stable isotope (δ15N) distributions in North Sea harbour porpoises Phocoena phocoena (L.) was documented by analysing stable isotope abundances in bone collagen from 88 skeletons of harbour porpoises stranded in the period between 1848 and 2002 along the southern North Sea coast. Porpoises collected after ~1960 had significantly lower δ15N than porpoises collected earlier. ...
متن کاملthe effects of changing roughness on the flow structure in the bends
flow in natural river bends is a complex and turbulent phenomenon which affects the scour and sedimentations and causes an irregular bed topography on the bed. for the reason, the flow hydralics and the parameters which affect the flow to be studied and understand. in this study the effect of bed and wall roughness using the software fluent discussed in a sharp 90-degree flume bend with 40.3cm ...
Theoretical analysis of reservoir-based floating photovoltaic plant for 15-khordad dam in Delijan
The current study presents the design features and photovoltaic requirements of a floating photovoltaic plant (FPVP) whose purpose is to reduce the evaporation from the surface of a water reservoir while generating electricity. A summary of the energy budget method is also introduced to calculate the rate of evaporation from the water reservoir behind 15-Khordad dam. The top of the reservoi...
