Heat and turbulent kinetic energy budgets of the ocean surface layer during passage Hurricane Frances were examined using a three‐dimensional hydrodynamic model. In situ data obtained with Electromagnetic‐Autonomous Profiling Explorer (EM‐APEX) floats used to set up initial conditions model simulation compare results. The spatial heat reveal that hurricane passage, not only entrainment in bottom mixed but also horizontal water advection important factors determining pattern sea temperature....
Abstract Understanding challenges posed by climate change to estuaries and their faunas remains a high priority for managing these systems communities. Freshwater discharge into range of estuary types in south‐western Australia between 1990 2015 is shown be related rainfall. This largely accounts decreases this microtidal region being more pronounced on the west coast than south coast, where rainfall decline was less. Results an oxygen‐balance model imply that, as demonstrated empirical data...
Abstract Both tyrosinase, a Cu‐containing polyphenoloxidase, and birnessite (δ‐MnO 2 ) are able to catalyze the transformation of phenolic compounds through oxidative polymerization, process that leads humification, but reaction mechanisms not fully understood. The objective this study was characterize or identify products generated from catechol (1,2‐dihydroxybenzene) by tyrosinase. Birnessite tyrosinase catalyzed oligomers, polycondensates, fragments. formed after catalysis were brown...
ABSTRACTFreshwater aquatic ecosystems can be considered sentinels of change as they integrate signals from catchment, hydrology and biogeochemistry to provide an indication how the system fluctuates. The Coorong estuary acts a sentinel for Murray-Darling Basin (MDB), Australia. Its location at terminus River systems, which drains more than 1 million square kilometres across 22 major catchments, means that any climate, water extraction or land use in upstream catchments will have...
A gas chromatographic (GC) method was developed for the determination of water extractable and HCl/MeOH low molecular weight dicarboxylic acids in rhizosphere soils durum wheat (Triticum turgidum var. Durum L.). Rhizosphere were collected after 2 weeks plant growth by first removing bulk soil from root system then washing off that adhered to surface with water. After shaking rhizosphere/water mixtures, concentrated on anion exchange membranes. freeze-dried samples shaken 0.5 M HCl MeOH...
Freshwater flows to estuaries shape habitat, transport nutrients drive productivity, and generate a salinity gradient that impacts water quality provides spawning cues for fish. The aim of this study was quantify how environmental improved outcomes coastal lagoon system (the Coorong, South Australia), considering the export, prevention ingress, salt from system, increased available habitat key fish biota. A hydrodynamic model used simulate temperature, determine exchange between Coorong...
Abstract The biomass of wetland plants is highly responsive to environmental factors and plays a crucial role in the dynamics soil organic carbon (SOC) pool. In this study, we collected analyzed global data on plant from 1980 2021. By examining 1134 observations 182 published papers ecosystems, created comprehensive database above-ground (AGB) below-ground (BGB). Using database, characteristics different climate zones, types species globally. Based this, differences between linkage AGB BGB...
Abstract. Ecosystems in shallow micro-tidal lagoons are particularly sensitive to hydrologic changes. Lagoons complex transitional ecosystems between land and sea, the signals of direct human disturbance can be confounded by variability climate system, but from an effective estuary management perspective, effects versus engineering interventions need identified separately. This study developed a 3D finite-volume hydrodynamic model assess changes hydrodynamics Peel–Harvey Estuary, large...
The influence of birnessite (δ-MnO 2 ) on the precipitation products iron was studied, in FeCl -NH 4 OH system at different Mn/Fe molar ratios (0, 0.01, 0.1 and 1.0) acidic pH (4.0, 5.0 6.0) range, by X-ray, TEM, IR chemical analyses. formed 6.0 were found to be lepidocrocite (γ-FeOOH) absence birnessite. Birnessite promoted increased Fe oxide; oxidation Fe(II) MnO thermodynamically feasible confirmed presence Mn(II) solution ESR data. also influenced crystallization processes hydrolytic...
The temporal and spatial variations of p CO 2 in the ocean surface layer response to passage Hurricane Frances (2004) were investigated with a coupled three‐dimensional hydrodynamic carbon model. results showed that sea temperature cooling was dominant cause decrease , while entrainment water higher levels partially offset cooling‐induced decrease. distribution thus found mimic physical deepening processes, “right bias” hurricane track. impact on local air‐sea exchange extended about 100 km...
