Chemical complexity of hotspots caused by cycling oceanic crust through mantle reservoirs
Where ρ0, α0, ∆T , η, κ are dimensional reference values of density of the background mantle, thermal expansivity, temperature difference between core-mantle boundary and surface, reference viscosity at temperature T = 0.5 (non-dimensional), and thermal diffusivity, respectively. g and h are dimensional gravitational acceleration and thickness of mantle, respectively. 1 Chemical complexity of h...
متن کاملInteractions among fungal community structure, litter decomposition and depth of water table in a cutover peatland.
Peatlands are important reservoirs of carbon (C) but our understanding of C cycling on cutover peatlands is limited. We investigated the decomposition over 18 months of five types of plant litter (Calluna vulgaris, Eriophorum angustifolium, Eriophorum vaginatum, Picea sitchensis and Sphagnum auriculatum) at a cutover peatland in Scotland, at three water tables. We measured changes in C, nitroge...
متن کاملEffect on nitrate concentration in stream water of agricultural practices in small catchments in Brittany : II. Temporal variations and mixing processes
In catchments with impervious bedrock, the nitrate concentrations in streamwater often show marked seasonal and small inter-annual variations. The inter-annual trends are usually attributed to changes in nitrogen inputs, due to changes in land use or in nitrogen deposition whereas seasonal patterns are explained in terms of availability of soil nitrate for leaching and of seasonality of nitroge...
متن کاملMethanotrophy induces nitrogen fixation during peatland development.
Nitrogen (N) accumulation rates in peatland ecosystems indicate significant biological atmospheric N2 fixation associated with Sphagnum mosses. Here, we show that the linkage between methanotrophic carbon cycling and N2 fixation may constitute an important mechanism in the rapid accumulation of N during the primary succession of peatlands. In our experimental stable isotope enrichment study, pr...
متن کاملApplication of Classification Algorithms in Data Mining for Hotspots Occurrence Prediction in Riau Province Indonesia
High fire occurrence in Riau Province, Indonesia has been going on in the recent years with large areas occurring in the peat soil. In this paper a data mining technique namely classification was applied on forest fire data to develop classification models for hotspots occurrence in Riau Province. The models provide characteristics of areas where active fires occurred. We studied physical data ...
