Accounting for temporal inflow variation in the inverse solution for infiltration in surface irrigation 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
A simple modification of the volume balance equation of the IPARM model is presented to facilitate the use of variable inflow.
Traditional approaches for estimating infiltration from advance and/or runoff have merely considered the constant or step
inflow case. Whenever this assumption is violated, significant uncertainty is introduced into the estimated infiltration parameters.
Evaluation of the procedure with a number of data sets has demonstrated significant improvements in the estimates of infiltration
parameters. Furthermore, the technique has shown that a portion of the apparent variability in estimated soil intake rates
between furrows in the same field is a consequence of the constant inflow assumption. Accounting for the variable inflow to
estimate infiltration functions, both standardised the shape of the infiltration curve and reduced the magnitude of the variation
between curves. The proposed technique remains restricted by limitations similar to that of other volume balance models but
offers greater performance under typical inflow variations often experienced in practice. 相似文献

Abstract – Predation risk allocation hypothesis predicts that a prey's response to predator depends on prey's previous experience on predator. Here we tested whether the group of three perch respond differentially to pike, predator of perch, depending on the timing of high constant (HC) and high unpredictable (HU) risk periods within low constant risk periods in short-term (10 h) experiments, and whether the response is stronger during a HU risk period than during a HC risk period. Perch clearly erected the dorsal fin in response to predation risk treatments (pike odour only, odour and visible pike). Decrease in activity and increase in shoaling behaviour were observed mainly during high risk periods. However, the perch's responses to pike did not differ statistically between periods of various levels of predation risk or depending on the timing of high risk situations within constant low risk periods, and thus, suggesting that perch respond mainly to changes in the current predation risk. 相似文献

Management and control of surface irrigation, in particular furrow irrigation, is limited by spatio-temporal soil infiltration
variability as well as the high cost and time associated with collecting intensive field data for estimation of the infiltration
characteristics. Recent work has proposed scaling the commonly used infiltration function by using a model infiltration curve
and a single advance point for every other furrow in an irrigation event. Scaling factors were calculated for a series of
furrows at two sites and at four points down the length of the field (0.25 L, 0.5 L, 0.75 L and L). Differences in the value of the scaling factor with distance were found to be a function of the shape of the advance curves.
It is concluded that use of points early in the advance results in a substantial loss of accuracy and should be avoided. The
scaling factor was also strongly correlated with the furrow-wetted perimeter suggesting that the scaling is an appropriate
way of both predicting and accommodating the effect of the hydraulic variability. 相似文献

Predator conditioning can be used to improve post‐release antipredator recognition of hatchery‐reared salmonids. However, possible negative stress‐related effects of prolonged predator conditioning on juvenile fish physiology are poorly understood. We studied the effects of prolonged (91 days) predator odour exposure on whole‐body cortisol level and spleen size in six full‐sib families of juvenile hatchery‐bred Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus). Chemical cues from water containing charr‐fed pikeperch (Sander lucioperca) were used as the predator exposure stimuli and lakewater was used as a chemical control. Our study revealed that juvenile body cortisol levels post‐predator conditioning were affected by treatment, fish size and their interaction. Importantly, among the smaller (i.e. slowest growing) charr, the predator‐exposed fish had higher cortisol levels than control fish, while the opposite pattern was true for the larger fish. These results suggest that chemical cues from charr‐fed predators induce a prolonged stress response in juvenile charr. As prolonged predation exposure seems to elevate stress levels in a size‐dependent manner, the larger, faster growing fish could possibly have intrinsically lower stress responses to predation threats than smaller, slower growing fish. Possible coupling between stress sensitivity and growth requires further attention due to the likely implications for the management of unintended domestication among captive‐reared salmonids. 相似文献

The theory of island biogeography predicts that the probability of a species occupying an island depends on a dynamic equilibrium between extinction and colonization. Epidermal papillomatosis is a disease manifesting as skin tumours on fish. We studied the factors affecting the occurrence of the disease in roach, Rutilus rutilus (L.), in 34 lakes. The results of discrimination analysis suggest that maximum depth, percentage of the drainage area of the lake covered by lakes in the vicinity and altitude best identified diseased lakes. Comparison of diseased and non-diseased lakes revealed that lake area could also be regarded as a variable contributing to the occurrence of the disease. The sampling date, proportion of males and mean length of fish did not discriminate between the lakes. The probability of the disease occurring was highest in large, deep, low-altitude lakes which had a high percentage of lakes in their vicinity. Thus, the results indicate that the colonization and extinction processes probably contribute to the occurrence of papillomatosis in roach, as predicted by the theory. Furthermore, the large natural variation in the occurrence of the disease could mask possible environmental effects and between-lake comparisons should be interpreted with caution when using the fish-papillomatosis system as an indicator of environmental stress. 相似文献
