Palaeovolcanic forcing of short-term dendroisotopic depletion: The effect of decreased solar intensity on Irish Oak
نویسندگان
چکیده
[1] The climatic effects of historical volcanic eruptions are well documented in the literature. What are less certain however, are the effects of eruptions on more distant environments, particularly vegetation. Here we present subannual dC records from two high-resolution Irish oak (Quercus spp.) chronologies that span the Laki (Grı́msvötn) 1783–84 and Tambora 1815 eruptions. In both instances, a significant depletion in dC is recorded within the trees following the eruption ( 1.8%). Historical meteorological datasets from observatories near to the trees sampled demonstrate that the shifts in carbon isotopic content cannot be accounted for by changes in local climate. We postulate atmospheric loading of ejecta from the eruptions resulted in significantly reduced irradiance, increasing discrimination within the trees. Citation: Ogle, N., C. S. M. Turney, R. M.

Introduction: The primary somatosensory cortex has an important role in nociceptive sensory-discriminative processing. Altered peripheral inputs produced by deafferentation or by long-term changes in levels of afferent stimulation can result in plasticity of cortex. Capsaicin-induced depletion of C-fiber afferents results in plasticity of the somatosensory system. Plasticity includes short-term...

At this study, the effects of adding Iranian acorn flour on growth performance, carcass composition and resistance to salinity stress of common carp were investigated. Experimental diets included: 1) without acorn and not autoclaved diet; 2) without acorn and autoclaved diet for 2 minutes; 3) without acorn and autoclaved diet for 10 minutes; 4) with 10 percent acorn and not autoclaved diet; 5) ...

The effect of grape pomace (Vitis vinifera) and in oak leaf (Quercus libani) tannins by three runs of in vitro gas production on the organic matter digestibility (OMD) and in situ dry matter (DM) and crude protein (CP) disappearance were studied in four sheeps. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) was used to deactivate the tannins. In vitro gas production was recorded at 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 48, 72, 96 and 12...

Today, the use of oak as a replacement feed in poultry diets is well documented. However, oak contains polyphenol compounds (tannins) as antinutrient factors resulted in limited usage in the poultry rations. Generally, consumption of feeds containing tannin could affect gene expression level of immune system. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of different levels of ...
