Effects of acidity and doc on phytoplankton community structure and production in three acid lakes (Nova Scotia)     

S. T. Beauchamp  J. Kerekes 《Water, air, and soil pollution》1989,46(1-4):323-333

Phytoplankton community structure varied between the three lakes and between years within lakes. The Beaverskin Lake phytoplankton community was dominated by cyanophytes and chlorophytes in the summer and chrysophytes in the winter. Kejimkujik Lake was dominated by bacillariophytes in the summer of 1979 but no single group dominated in 1980 or 1981. Pebbleloggitch Lake phytoplankton consisted mainly of chlorophytes in 1979 but low biomass and no dominant groups characterized this lake during the growing season of 1980. Daily integral planktonic primary production measured simultaneously in the three lakes showed that in both years annual planktonic primary production was highest in the clear water lake, Beaverskin Lake, which also had lower dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentration compared to the two dystrophic lakes. In the clear water lake annual production was similar between years but in the two colored lakes annual production was 40% higher in the second year. The observed increases in annual production between years in the colored lakes were largely due to changes in euphotic depth resulting from variations in hydrology and DOC export from the lake catchments. Lower discharges in the colored lakes in 1980 were accompanied by significantly lower in lake DOC concentrations, water color, light extinction coefficients and increased euphotic depth. Similar changes in discharge accompanied by lower DOC concentration in the clear water lake did not produce significant changes in water color, light extinction coefficient nor annual production between years. Rates of primary production at light optimum (P-max) were consistently higher in the most colored, acidic lake indicating that relatively high rates of autotrophic production will occur under acidic conditions if nutrient supply is maintained.  相似文献   

Sources of sulphate and acidity in wetlands and lakes in Nova Scotia     

J. Kerekes  S. Beauchamp  R. Tordon  T. Pollock 《Water, air, and soil pollution》1986,31(1-2):207-214

There is a declining gradient of wet SO₄ deposition from south to north in Nova Scotia with the highest values being in the south, along with a localized increase around the Halifax metropolitan area, due to local SO₄ emission. Edaphic conditions such as drainage from soils containing gypsum or drainage on disturbed rocks containing pyrite, provide additional SO₄ to surface waters.Acidity is usually absent in the former (pH > 7.0) and very high in the latter (as low as pH 3.6). By contrast peaty, organic drainages release water low in SO₄ during the growing season but they release high amounts of organic anions (A?), consequently, these waters maintain decreased pH values, usually < 4.5. A study of over 80 wetlands and lakes during the ice free period in Nova Scotia showed that sea salt corrected SO₄ concentrations range from 45 ueq L^?1 in the south end of the province, ～30 ueq L^?1 in the Kejimkujik area and < 17 ueq L^?1 in the northern areas with values > 85 ueq L^?1 in the Halifax area, reflecting the atmospheric deposition pattern of SO₄ The SO₄ concentrations may be > 2000 ueq L^?1 in drainages containing gypsum, > 700 ueq L^?1 in drainages over pyrite bearing socks but < 20 ueq/L^?1 in streams draining bogs. The SO₄ concentrations change considerably during the non-growing season when the ground is saturated with water or frozen, and the runoff is high (snow and rain often alternate in winter). Under such conditions SO₄ concentration drops in the two former cases and increases in bog drainages, accompanied with a considerable drop in (A?) concentrations. Care should be taken when interpreting SO₄ concentrations in surface waters in Nova Scotia with respect to atmospheric SO₄ deposition.  相似文献   

Denitrification and fermentation in plant-residue-amended soil   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

J. W. Paul  E. G. Beauchamp 《Biology and Fertility of Soils》1989,7(4):303-309

Summary Nitrous oxide production (denitrification) during anaerobic incubation of ground-alfalfa-, red-clover-, wheat-straw-, and cornstover-amended soil was positively related to the initial water-soluble C content of the residue- amended soil. The water-soluble C concentration decreased in all treatments during the first 2 days, then increased in the alfalfa-, red-clover-, and wheat-straw-amended soil until the end of the experiment at 15 days. An accumulation of acetate, propionate, and butyrate was partly responsible for the increased water-soluble C concentration. Denitrification rates were much higher in the alfalfa-and red-clover-amended soil, but NO ₃ ^– was not fully recovered as N₂O in these treatments. Supported by earlier experiments in our laboratory, we conclude that some of the NO ₃ ^– was reduced to NH ₄ ⁺ through fermentative NO ₃ ^– reduction, otherwise known as dissimilatory NO ₃ ^– reduction to NH ₄ ⁺ . Acetate, the primary product of anaerobic fermentation, accumulated in the alfalfa- and red-clover-amended soil in the presence of NO ₃ ^– , supporting previous observations that the processes of denitrification and fermentation occur simultaneously in C-amended soil. The partitioning of NO ₃ ^– between denitrification and fermentative NO ₃ ^– reduction to NH ₄ ⁺ depends on the activity of the denitrifying and fermentative bacterial populations. NO₂ concentration may be a key in the partitioning of NO ₃ ^– between these two processes.  相似文献   

Physical and chemical characteristics of three acidic,oligotrophic lakes and their watersheds in Kejimkujik National Park,Nova Scotia     

J. Kerekes  B. Freedman  S. Beauchamp  R. Tordon 《Water, air, and soil pollution》1989,46(1-4):99-117

Southwestern Nova Scotia receives acidic precipitation (average pH 4.5 to 4.6), and there are many waterbodies that are susceptible to acidification. This study characterizes the physical and chemical features of three remote, oligotrophic lakes and their watersheds in this region, in order to provide baseline information against which assessments can be made of changes caused by atmospheric depositions. Two of the lakes are small (<0.5 km²) and on headwater watersheds: Beaverskin Lake has an almost completely forested watershed and is moderately acidic and clear (pH 5.3, 5 Hazen units), while the watershed of Pebbleloggitch Lake is about 2/3 forested and 1/3 covered by a Sphagnum-heath bog, and its water is very acidic and highly colored (pH 4.3, 87 Hazen units). Kejimkujik Lake is much larger, its watershed is mostly forested but also contains some boggy terrain, its water is intermediate in acidity and color (pH 4.9, 65 Hazen units), and because it drains a much larger area of watershed it has relatively large concentrations of Ca, Mg, Na, Cl, and SO₄.  相似文献

Prevalence of ulcers of the squamous gastric mucosa in standardbred horses     

Roy MA  Vrins A  Beauchamp G  Doucet MY 《Journal of veterinary internal medicine / American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine》2005,19(5):744-750

This study was performed to determine the prevalence of ulcers in the gastric squamous mucosa in Standardbred racehorses. Observations were performed at monthly intervals between the beginning of their training season and their 1st qualifying race. This study also identified risk factors at different levels of race training. Forty-eight Standardbred racehorses from 3 training stables in Quebec, Canada, were studied. Baseline historical information and gastroscopic findings were recorded at the beginning of the trial, and once a month thereafter, between December 2001 and June 2002, until the horse's 1st qualifying race or the end of the training. Intensity of training ranged from jogging to intensive training just before the 1st race and was assigned an ordinal score. Location of squamous ulcers and their appearance were observed on gastroscopy, and an ordinal score was assigned. Prevalence of squamous ulcers from the 2nd through the 4th month (72-88%) of training remained at a significantly higher level (P = .002 to .04) than at the onset of the study (38%) and was also higher in intensely trained horses than in joggers (93% versus 56%). Moderate or more intensive training increased the odds (odds ratio [OR], 3.39; confidence interval [CI], 1.34-8.56; and OR, 11.4; CI, 3.21-40.5, respectively) of detecting ulcers with higher scores. These odds were also higher in trotters (OR, 2.17; CI, 1.07-4.43) than in pacers and generally increased with the duration of training. Duration of training, training level, and gait type also influenced the number of sites with ulcers in the same way. Ulcers had higher scores along the lesser curvature (LC) and the margo plicatus (MP) areas of the stomach. It was concluded that squamous ulcers appeared early in the training of Standardbred racehorses, that the number of sites affected and the ulcer score are related to the intensity of training, and that trotters are more prone to squamous ulcers than pacers.  相似文献

SUMMARY The polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the presence of blue-tongue virus (BTV) in a number of clinical and insect samples collected in the Northern Territory of Australia. Sequence analyses of the amplified BTV genes differentiated endemic Australian and exotic viruses. Two potential exotic BTV were detected as a result of PCR analyses of blood from sentinel animals and of the insect vector, Culicoides wadai. The detection of BTV in C wadai was the first direct demonstration of the presence of BTV in this potential vector. This new technology can significantly reduce the time taken for a diagnosis from a clinical sample and increase the amount of useful information obtained on a BTV isolate by using rapid sequencing techniques. Sequence data were used to differentiate between BTV20 isolated in 1975 and two isolates of the same serotype, isolated in 1992, and indicated that the latter were probably a recent incursion into Australia from Indonesia due to their greater VP3 sequence homology to the BTV9 (Java) than to Australian BTV isolates.  相似文献
