Napoleon) were stored in controlled atmospheres (CA) of high O(2) (70% O(2) + 0% CO(2)) or high CO(2) (5% O(2) + 10% CO(2)), in modified atmosphere package (MAP, (13% - 18%) O(2) + (2% -4%) CO(2)) and in air (control) at 1 degreesC to investigate the effects of different O(2) and CO(2) concentrations on physiological properties, quality and storability of the fruits during storage. The results indicated that compared with other treatments, CA with high O(2) concentration decreased fruit decay and ethanol content, but increased the accumulation of malondialdehyde (MDA) and stimulated browning. CA with high CO(2) concentration inhibited polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity, reduced MDA content, maintained vitamin C content and firmness, decreased fruit decay and browning. Soluble solids contents (SSC) were not significantly affected by different atmosphere treatments. 'Napoleon' fruits stored in 5% O(2) + 10% CO(2) for as long as 80 d were of good quality, but only 40, 20 and 30 d stored in MAP, 70% O(2) + 0% CO(2) and air, re-spectively.展开更多

[ Method] Using nitrotetrazolium blue chloride （NBT） light reduction method, SOD activity of drugstore beetle （ Stegobium panlceum ）, cigarette beetle （ Lasioderma serricorne） and coffee bean beetle （Araecerus fasciculatus） was studied, and the stress response of the enzyme under controlled atmosphere stress of CO2 was analyzed. [ Result ] SOD activity of drugstore beetle, cigarette beetle and coffee bean beetle exposed to controlled atmosphere stress of high concentrations of CO2 for 3 and 6 h had certain degree of increase, and the activity sig- nificantly increased from 2.011±0.954,2.664±0.218 and 1.458±0.718 to 3. 135±0. 105,3.050±0.673 and 2.975±0.229 U/（per pest · 30 min） after treat- ment for 6 h. [ Conclusion] Controlled atmosphere stress of high concentrations of CO2 had certain activation effect on SOD activity of storage pest in Chinese me- dicinal material within the context of sub-lethal events. The results could enrich the insecticidal mechanism of controlled atmosphere and theoretical system of analy- sis on insect resistance to controlled atmosphere.展开更多

The results show that the combustion performances of volatile matter and fixed carbon of the three biomasses increase with the increase in the 02 content. The mean NO emission increases sharply when the reaction temperature increases from 700 to 800℃. However, it increases slightly when the temperature exceeds 800 ℃. Meanwhile, the mean NO emission and nitrogen conversion decrease with the increase in the nitrogen content in biomass. The mean NO emission changes little with different oxygen concentrations, and the NO emissions of the three biomasses are all lower than the requirement for the minimum NO emission. Increasing the oxygen concentration favors the biomass combustion in the O2/CO2 atmosphere, and oxygen concentration has little effect on the NO emission.展开更多

The results indicate that the corrosion rates of NiFe2O4-based cermetanodes prepared in the vacuum and the atmosphere with oxygen content of 2×10^-3 （volume fraction） are 6.46 and 2.71 cm/a,respectively. Though there is a transition layer with lots of holes or pores, a densified layer is formed on the surface of anode due tosome reactions producing aluminates. For the anode prepared in the atmosphere with oxygen content of 2×10^-3, the thickness of thedensification layer （about 50 μm） is thicker than that （about 30 μm） formed on the surface of anode prepared in the vacuum. Thecontents of NiO and Fe（II） in NiFe2xO4-y-z increase with the decrease of oxygen content in sintering atmosphere, which reduces thecorrosion resistance of the material.展开更多

Results showed that the manganese carbonate （MC） precursor caused mainly Mn2O3, while the manganese nitrate （MN） precursor resulted primarily in MnO2 and the manganese sulfate （MS） precursor was unchanged. The manganese acetate （MA） precursor leaded obtaining a mixture of Mn2O3 and Mn304. NOn conversion decreased in the following order： MA/TiO2 〉 MC/TiO2 〉 MN/TiO2 〉 MS/TiO2 〉 P25, with a calcination temperature of 773 K in air. Catalysts that were prepared by MA and calcined in oxygen performed strong interaction between Ti and Mn, while MnTiO3 was observed. Compared to the catalysts calcined in nitrogen, those calcined in oxygen had larger diameter and smaller surface area and pore. Catalysts that were prepared by MA and calcined in nitrogen tended to gain higher denitration rates than those in air, since they could be prepared with significant specific surface areas. NO., conversion decreased with calcination atmospheres： Nitrogen〉 Air〉 Oxygen. Meanwhile, amorphous Mn2O3 turned into crystalline Mn2O3, when the temperatures increased from 673 to 873 K.展开更多

The results showed that doubling CO2 concentration was benefit tb seedling growth of the species (500 μL- L1 was better than 700 μLL’ L-1 ) and the biomass production was increased in both aboveground and underground parts of seedlings. Carbon trans formation to roots was evident as rising of CO2 concentration.展开更多

At glaciation,...Organic carbon buried under the great ice sheets of the Northern Hemisphere is suggested to be the missing link in the atmospheric CO<SUB>2</SUB> change over the glacial-interglacial cycles. At glaciation, the advancement of continental ice sheets buries vegetation and soil carbon accumulated during warmer periods. At deglaciation, this burial carbon is released back into the atmosphere. In a simulation over two glacial-interglacial cycles using a synchronously coupled atmosphere-land-ocean carbon model forced by reconstructed climate change, it is found that there is a 547-Gt terrestrial carbon release from glacial maximum to interglacial, resulting in a 60-Gt (about 30-ppmv) increase in the atmospheric CO<SUB>2</SUB>, with the remainder absorbed by the ocean in a scenario in which ocean acts as a passive buffer. This is in contrast to previous estimates of a land uptake at deglaciation. This carbon source originates from glacial burial, continental shelf, and other land areas in response to changes in ice cover, sea level, and climate. The input of light isotope enriched terrestrial carbon causes atmospheric δ<SUP>13</SUP>C to drop by about 0.3‰ at deglaciation, followed by a rapid rise towards a high interglacial value in response to oceanic warming and regrowth on land. Together with other ocean based mechanisms such as change in ocean temperature, the glacial burial hypothesis may offer a full explanation of the observed 80–100-ppmv atmospheric CO<SUB>2</SUB> change.展开更多

One of the techniques which show a great deal of promise for several applications is Raman scattering. The detecting capability, including maximum operation range and minimum detectable gas concentration is one of the most significant parameters for lidar remote sensing of pollutants. In this paper, based on the new method for evaluating the capabilities of a Raman lidar system, we present an evaluation of detecting capability of Raman lidar for monitoring atmospheric CO2 in Hefei. Numerical simulations about the influence of atmospheric conditions on lidar detecting capability were carried out, and a conclusion can be drawn that the maximum difference of the operation ranges caused by the weather conditions alone can reach about 0.4 to 0.5km with a measuring precision within 30ppmv. The range of minimum detectable concentration caused by the weather conditions alone can reach about 20 to 35 ppmv in vertical direction for 20000 shots at a distance of 1 km on the assumption that other parameters are kept constant. The other corresponding parameters under different conditions are also given. The capability of Raman lidar operated in vertical direction was found to be superior to that operated in horizontal direction. During practical measurement with the Raman lidar whose hardware components were fixed, aerosol scattering extinction effect would be a significant factor that influenced the capability of Raman lidar. This work may be a valuable reference for lidar system designing, measurement accuracy improving and data processing.展开更多
文摘Sweet cherries ( Prunus avium L. cv. Napoleon) were stored in controlled atmospheres (CA) of high O(2) (70% O(2) + 0% CO(2)) or high CO(2) (5% O(2) + 10% CO(2)), in modified atmosphere package (MAP, (13% - 18%) O(2) + (2% -4%) CO(2)) and in air (control) at 1 degreesC to investigate the effects of different O(2) and CO(2) concentrations on physiological properties, quality and storability of the fruits during storage. The results indicated that compared with other treatments, CA with high O(2) concentration decreased fruit decay and ethanol content, but increased the accumulation of malondialdehyde (MDA) and stimulated browning. CA with high CO(2) concentration inhibited polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity, reduced MDA content, maintained vitamin C content and firmness, decreased fruit decay and browning. Soluble solids contents (SSC) were not significantly affected by different atmosphere treatments. 'Napoleon' fruits stored in 5% O(2) + 10% CO(2) for as long as 80 d were of good quality, but only 40, 20 and 30 d stored in MAP, 70% O(2) + 0% CO(2) and air, re-spectively.

文摘[ Objective ] The paper was to study the effect of controlled atmosphere stress of carbon dioxide （ CO2 ） on Superoxide dismutase （SOD） activity of in- sect, so as to analyze the biological mechanism of the action of controlled atmosphere stress on insect. [ Method] Using nitrotetrazolium blue chloride （NBT） light reduction method, SOD activity of drugstore beetle （ Stegobium panlceum ）, cigarette beetle （ Lasioderma serricorne） and coffee bean beetle （Araecerus fasciculatus） was studied, and the stress response of the enzyme under controlled atmosphere stress of CO2 was analyzed. [ Result ] SOD activity of drugstore beetle, cigarette beetle and coffee bean beetle exposed to controlled atmosphere stress of high concentrations of CO2 for 3 and 6 h had certain degree of increase, and the activity sig- nificantly increased from 2.011±0.954,2.664±0.218 and 1.458±0.718 to 3. 135±0. 105,3.050±0.673 and 2.975±0.229 U/（per pest · 30 min） after treat- ment for 6 h. [ Conclusion] Controlled atmosphere stress of high concentrations of CO2 had certain activation effect on SOD activity of storage pest in Chinese me- dicinal material within the context of sub-lethal events. The results could enrich the insecticidal mechanism of controlled atmosphere and theoretical system of analy- sis on insect resistance to controlled atmosphere.

文摘The thermogravimetric analyzer and horizontal tube furnace are used to study the effects of operation parameters such as temperature, fuel type, and oxygen concentration on the combustion and NO emission characteristics of the rice husk, rice straw, and peanut shell in the O2/CO2 atmosphere. The results show that the combustion performances of volatile matter and fixed carbon of the three biomasses increase with the increase in the 02 content. The mean NO emission increases sharply when the reaction temperature increases from 700 to 800℃. However, it increases slightly when the temperature exceeds 800 ℃. Meanwhile, the mean NO emission and nitrogen conversion decrease with the increase in the nitrogen content in biomass. The mean NO emission changes little with different oxygen concentrations, and the NO emissions of the three biomasses are all lower than the requirement for the minimum NO emission. Increasing the oxygen concentration favors the biomass combustion in the O2/CO2 atmosphere, and oxygen concentration has little effect on the NO emission.

文摘To explain the influence mechanism of MgO on the consolidation and reduction characteristics of roasted iron pellets,the properties and structure of pellets were investigated from multi-dimensions.It indicated that the MgO addition decreased the reduction swelling index(RSI)and reduction degree of pellets in both CO and H_(2)atmospheres.During the stepwise reduction process of Fe2O3→Fe3O4→FeO,the reduction behaviour of pellets in CO and H_(2)was similar,while the reduction rate of pellets in H_(2)atmosphere was almost twice as high as that in CO atmosphere.During the stepwise reduction process of FeO→Fe,the RSI of pellets showed a logarithmic increase in CO atmosphere and a linear decrease in H_(2)atmosphere.As investigated by first-principles calculations,C and Fe mainly formed chemical bonds,and the CO reduction process released energy,promoting the formation of iron whiskers.However,H and Fe produced weak physical adsorption,and the H_(2)reduction process was endothermic,inhibiting the generation of iron whiskers.With Mg2+doping in FexO,the nucleation region of iron whiskers expanded in CO reduction process,and the morphology of iron whiskers transformed from“slender”to“stocky,”reducing RSI of the pellets.
文摘为探究稻茬小麦深施肥“一基一追”机艺融合技术的增产增效减排机制,2021—2024年在长江下游南通稻茬麦区开展大田试验。试验采用缓释掺混肥料(SRF,N∶P_(2)O_(5)∶K_(2)O=26∶12∶12)和普通尿素(U,46%N),结合自主研发的2BFGK-12(6)260全秸秆茬地洁区旋耕智能施肥播种机和3ZF-4(200)中耕追肥机,设置7种施肥模式(30 cm+15 cm宽窄行种植):以尿素4次分施(N 240 kg hm^(-2),基肥∶分蘖肥∶拔节肥∶孕穗肥=5∶1∶2∶2,窄行基施,追肥全田撒施)为对照(CK);减氮15%(N 204 kg hm^(-2))条件下设置6种处理:M_(1)(100%SRF窄行基施);M_(2)(60%SRF窄行基施+40%U拔节期窄行撒施);M_(3)(60%SRF窄行基施+40%U返青期宽行条施);M_(4)(60%SRF窄行基施+40%SRF返青期窄行撒施);M_(5)(60%SRF窄行基施+40%SRF返青期宽行条施);M_(4+5)(60%SRF窄行基施+20%SRF返青期宽行条施+20%SRF返青期窄行撒施)。研究比较不同施肥模式对小麦产量效益、根系形态生理、氮素利用效率及N_(2)O排放的影响。结果表明,与CK相比,M_(2)~M_(5)处理提高了小麦产量(4.0%~19.0%)和经济效益(13.7%~35.7%),其中M_(4)和M_(5)处理表现最优,分别增产14.1%和19.0%,经济效益提升34.5%和35.7%。这些处理明显改善了根系特性(根干重密度增加9.7%~111.8%,根系活力和氧化力分别提高6.8%~52.0%和4.2%~44.2%),降低N_(2)O累积排放量22.6%~34.5%,提高0~20 cm土层硝态氮含量11.2%~40.0%。在氮素利用方面,M_(2)~M_(5)处理均提高了籽粒氮素积累量、花后氮素积累量及其对籽粒氮素的贡献率,氮肥利用效率指标(包括偏生产力、农学效率和表观利用率)分别显著提升了22.4%~40.0%、29.7%~74.3%和9.41~18.77个百分点。值得注意的是,M_(4)和M_(5)处理表现出最优的综合效益:N_(2)O累积排放量降幅最大(分别达27.0%和34.5%),氮肥表观利用率2季均维持在43.0%以上(均值分别为43.5%和46.8%),同时在生育后期保持较高的根系活性和耕层无机氮含量。相比之下,M_(1)处理虽然实现了最大的N_(2)O减排效果(降幅35.9%),但导致减产10.4%和经济效益下降10.8%,且氮肥利用效率呈现不稳定的年际变化特征。而优化处理M_(4+5)进一步改善了根系形态生理特性,并提高氮肥表观利用率和籽粒氮素积累量。综上,减氮15%条件下(N 204 kg hm^(-2)),缓混肥2次施用处理(M_(4)和M_(5))能实现产量、经济效益、氮肥利用效率和N_(2)O减排的协同提高,并以追肥深施处理(M_(5))效应更强。本研究为稻茬小麦缓释肥减氮优化高效应用提供重要理论依据。

文摘A comparative study on the corrosion resistance of 17Ni/（NiFe2O4-10NiO） cermet inert anode prepared in differentsintering atmospheres was conducted in Na3AlF6-Al2O3 melt. The results indicate that the corrosion rates of NiFe2O4-based cermetanodes prepared in the vacuum and the atmosphere with oxygen content of 2×10^-3 （volume fraction） are 6.46 and 2.71 cm/a,respectively. Though there is a transition layer with lots of holes or pores, a densified layer is formed on the surface of anode due tosome reactions producing aluminates. For the anode prepared in the atmosphere with oxygen content of 2×10^-3, the thickness of thedensification layer （about 50 μm） is thicker than that （about 30 μm） formed on the surface of anode prepared in the vacuum. Thecontents of NiO and Fe（II） in NiFe2xO4-y-z increase with the decrease of oxygen content in sintering atmosphere, which reduces thecorrosion resistance of the material.

文摘Although atmospheric CO_(2) observations are becoming increasingly widespread in China,the identification of CO_(2) emission sources is still scarce,especially in undeveloped Central China.To effectively address this issue,in a typical site in Central China,the simultaneous measurements of atmospheric CO_(2),CO,andδ^(13)C were conducted,and the characteristics of CO_(2) emission sources were systematically investigated based on the relationships among CO_(2),CO,andδ^(13)C.The average CO_(2)/CO ratio of winter increased from 52.4 ppm/ppm during 2018–2020 to 65.1 ppm/ppm during 2021–2022,which confirmed the improvement of energy consumption efficiency in China.Air-mass transportation from central China and Yangtze River Delta regions contributed largely to higher CO_(2)/CO ratios in 2021–2022.A highermean CO_(2)/CO ratio appeared during the morning rush hours(60.3 ppm/ppm)than in the afternoon rush hours(51.4 ppm/ppm)in winter.In addition,the meanδ^(13)C value of CO_(2) sources(δ^(13)Cs)also displayed more negative values during the morning rush hours(-28.3‰)than the afternoon rush hours(-22.2‰),suggesting the significant influence of vehicle and natural gas usage at themorning rush hours and the impact of straw burning in the afternoon rush hours.The meanδ^(13)Cs was-24.7‰for winter and-21.9‰for vegetation season,implying the main contribution of coal in winter and the impact of C4 plants during the vegetation season.The contribution of biogenic respiration CO_(2) was inferred to exceed 50%during the nighttime of summer according to the obtained meanδ^(13)C value of biogenic respiration CO_(2),which was calculated to be-21.4‰.

文摘Exploration of efficient and stable photocatalysts to mimic natural leaves for the conversion of atmospheric CO_(2)into hydrocarbons utilizing solar light is very important but remains a major challenge.Herein,we report the design of four novel metal-salen-incorporated conjugated microporous polymers as robust artificial leaves for photoreduction of atmospheric CO_(2)with gaseous water.Owing to the rich nitrogen and oxygen moieties in the polymeric frameworks,they show a maximum CO_(2)adsorption capacity of 46.1 cm3 g^(−1)and adsorption selectivity for CO_(2)/N_(2)of up to 82 at 273 K.Under air atmosphere and simulated solar light(100mWcm^(−2)),TEPT-Zn shows an excellent CO yield of 304.96μmol h^(−1)g^(−1)with a selectivity of approximately 100%,which represents one of the best results in terms of organic photocatalysts for gas-phase CO_(2)photoreduction so far.Furthermore,only small degradation in the CO yield is observed even after 120-h continuous illumination.More importantly,a good CO yield of 152.52μmol g^(−1)was achieved by directly exposing the photocatalytic reaction of TEPT-Zn in an outdoor environment for 3 h(25-28℃,52.3±7.9mWcm^(−2)).This work provides an avenue for the continued development of advanced polymers toward gas-phase photoconversion of CO_(2)from air.

文摘China is the largest emitter of anthropogenic CO_(2) globally,with its cities recognized as significant emission hotspots.Consequently,evaluating anthropogenic CO_(2) emissions and the carbon neutral capability(CNC)of Chinese cities is critical for climate change mitigation.Despite this importance,no studies to date have assessed recent and future city-scale CNCs using the top-down atmospheric inversion approach,revealing substantial knowledge gaps regarding regional CO_(2) budgets.To address these issues,this research focused on Hangzhou,a megacity known for having the highest forest cover among China’s provincial capitals,as study region.Year-round atmospheric CO_(2) concentration measurements were conducted from December 2020 to November 2021 at two sites:one urban and one suburban.These observations,along with their difference,were utilized to derive city-scale posterior anthropogenic CO_(2) emissions and to evaluate recent and future CNCs.Our key findings are as follows:(1)The manufacturing industry,energy industry and oil refineries/transformation industry were identified as the largest contributors to urban-suburban CO_(2) difference,accounting for 36.5%,21.3%,and 16.6%,respectively.Additionally,82.5%,65.2%,81.2%and 86.3%of total anthropogenic CO_(2) enhancements were attributed to emissions within Hangzhou city in winter,spring,summer and autumn,respectively.(2)The posterior annual anthropogenic CO_(2) emission for Hangzhouwas estimated at 4.65(±0.72)×10^(10) kg/a,indicating significant biases among different prior CO_(2) emission inventories.The annual biological CO_(2) sink,derived from multiple products,was estimated at-0.48(±0.16)×10^(10) kg.(3)The calculated CNC for 2021was 10.3%±3.4%,highlighting a substantial gap towards achieving full carbon neutrality.Considering potential increases in ecosystem carbon sinks due to forest age and uncertainties from climate change,it was predicted that at least 65.2%-82.6%of anthropogenic CO_(2) emissions must be reduced to achieve the goal of full carbon neutrality by year of 2060.

文摘The effects of atmospheres and precursors on MnOx/TiO2 catalysts were studied, which were prepared by the impregnation method and tested for their NOx conversion activity in ammonia selective catalytic reduction （NH3-SCR） reactions. Results showed that the manganese carbonate （MC） precursor caused mainly Mn2O3, while the manganese nitrate （MN） precursor resulted primarily in MnO2 and the manganese sulfate （MS） precursor was unchanged. The manganese acetate （MA） precursor leaded obtaining a mixture of Mn2O3 and Mn304. NOn conversion decreased in the following order： MA/TiO2 〉 MC/TiO2 〉 MN/TiO2 〉 MS/TiO2 〉 P25, with a calcination temperature of 773 K in air. Catalysts that were prepared by MA and calcined in oxygen performed strong interaction between Ti and Mn, while MnTiO3 was observed. Compared to the catalysts calcined in nitrogen, those calcined in oxygen had larger diameter and smaller surface area and pore. Catalysts that were prepared by MA and calcined in nitrogen tended to gain higher denitration rates than those in air, since they could be prepared with significant specific surface areas. NO., conversion decreased with calcination atmospheres： Nitrogen〉 Air〉 Oxygen. Meanwhile, amorphous Mn2O3 turned into crystalline Mn2O3, when the temperatures increased from 673 to 873 K.
文摘The biomass and ratio of root-shoot of Pinus sylvestfthermis seedlings at Co, concentration of 700 μL L-1 and 50 μL-1L-1 were measured using open-top chambers (OTCs) in Changbai Mountain during Jun. to oct. in 1999. The results showed that doubling CO2 concentration was benefit tb seedling growth of the species (500 μL- L1 was better than 700 μLL’ L-1 ) and the biomass production was increased in both aboveground and underground parts of seedlings. Carbon trans formation to roots was evident as rising of CO2 concentration.

文摘The oxidation kinetics,surface morphology and phase structure of oxide films grown on 25Cr20Ni alloy in air-H2O and H2-H2O atmospheres at 900 ℃ for 20 h were investigated.The anti-coking performance and resistance to carburization of the two oxide films were compared using 25Cr20Ni alloy tubes with an inner diameter of 10 mm and a length of 850 mm in a bench scale naphtha steam pyrolysis unit.The oxidation kinetics followed a parabolic law in an air-H2O atmosphere and a logarithm law in a H2-H2O atmosphere in the steady-state stage.The oxide film grown in the air-H2O atmosphere had cracks where the elements Fe and Ni were enriched and the un-cracked area was covered with octahedral-shaped MnCr2O4 spinels and Cr1.3Fe0.7O3 oxide clusters,while the oxide film grown in the H2-H2O atmosphere was intact and completely covered with dense standing blade MnCr2O4 spinels.In the pyrolysis tests,the anti-coking performance and resistance to carburization of the oxide film grown in the H2-H2O atmosphere were far better than that in the air-H2O atmosphere.The mass of coke formed in the oxide film grown in the H2-H2O atmosphere was less than 10％ of that in the air-H2O atmosphere.The Cr1.3Fe0.7O3 oxide clusters converted into Cr23C6 carbides and the cracks were filled with carbon in the oxide film grown in the air-H2O atmosphere after repeated coking and decoking tests,while the dense standing blade MnCr2O4 spinels remained unchanged in the oxide film grown in the H2-H2O atmosphere.The ethylene,propylene and butadiene yields in the pyrolysis tests were almost the same for the two oxide films.
文摘Organic carbon buried under the great ice sheets of the Northern Hemisphere is suggested to be the missing link in the atmospheric CO<SUB>2</SUB> change over the glacial-interglacial cycles. At glaciation, the advancement of continental ice sheets buries vegetation and soil carbon accumulated during warmer periods. At deglaciation, this burial carbon is released back into the atmosphere. In a simulation over two glacial-interglacial cycles using a synchronously coupled atmosphere-land-ocean carbon model forced by reconstructed climate change, it is found that there is a 547-Gt terrestrial carbon release from glacial maximum to interglacial, resulting in a 60-Gt (about 30-ppmv) increase in the atmospheric CO<SUB>2</SUB>, with the remainder absorbed by the ocean in a scenario in which ocean acts as a passive buffer. This is in contrast to previous estimates of a land uptake at deglaciation. This carbon source originates from glacial burial, continental shelf, and other land areas in response to changes in ice cover, sea level, and climate. The input of light isotope enriched terrestrial carbon causes atmospheric δ<SUP>13</SUP>C to drop by about 0.3‰ at deglaciation, followed by a rapid rise towards a high interglacial value in response to oceanic warming and regrowth on land. Together with other ocean based mechanisms such as change in ocean temperature, the glacial burial hypothesis may offer a full explanation of the observed 80–100-ppmv atmospheric CO<SUB>2</SUB> change.
文摘The influence of additives TiO2,Y2O3 and composite rare earth on sintering of Cr2O3 in reductive atmosphere was studied.Results show that TiO2 can effectively increase the sinteed density at low temperature,As the increase of sintering temperature,such kind of effect becomes more and more unobvious and finaly disappear at 1550℃.Moreover,Y2O3 and composite rare earth have negative effect on sintering.
文摘Knowledge of nitrous oxide(N_(2)O)exchanges through soils and atmosphere in various ecosystems has been of great importance in global climate change studies.However,the relative magnitude of surface and subsurface N_(2)O production sources from the alpine grassland ecosystem is unclear.In the present study,the N_(2)O concentration profile from 1.5 m in depth in soil to 32 m in height in air was measured from July 2000 to July 2001 in alpine grassland located in the permafrost area of the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau,which revealed that N_(2)O concentrations had a distinct variation pattern both in air and in soil during the study period.Mean N_(2)O concentrations in the atmosphere were significantly lower than those in the soil,which induced the N_(2)O emission from the alpine steppe soil into the atmosphere.Mean flux of N_(2)O in this alpine grassland experiment site was 0.05×10^(-4)μmol·m^(-2)·s^(-1).But the variation in N_(2)O emissions did not show any clear trends over the whole-year experiment in our study site.The highest N_(2)O concentration was found at the depth of 1.5 m in the soil while the lowest N_(2)O concentration occurred at the height of 8 m in the atmosphere.Mean N_(2)O concentrations in the soil increased significantly with depth.This was the influence of increasing soil moistures,which induced the increasing denitrification potential with depth.The mean N_(2)O concentrations at different heights in the air remained a more steady state because of the atmospheric negotiability.Seasonal variations of N_(2)O concentrations showed significant correlations between the neighbor layers both in the soil and in the atmosphere.The seasonal variations of N_(2)O concentrations at all horizons in the soil showed very clear patterns,with the highest concentrations occurring from the onset of frost to the freeze-thaw period and lowest concentrations occurring during the spring and the summer.Further analyses showed that the seasonal variations of N_(2)O concentrations in the soil were hardly explained by soil temperatures at any depth.Temporally,atmospheric N_(2)O concentrations at all heights exhibited almost the same seasonal pattern with the soil N_(2)O variations,while soil is believed to be the predominant natural source of atmospheric N_(2)O near the earth surface in this alpine grassland area.Also,a significant correlation was found between N_(2)O emissions and soil N_(2)O concentrations at 0.2 m in depth during the study period.This implied the variation of N_(2)O concentrations in the soil surface horizon was the most direct driving force of N_(2)O exchanges between the soil and the atmosphere.Soil atmospheric N_(2)O at surface layers is the main source of N_(2)O emissions from the soil surface to the atmosphere.Soil N_(2)O concentrations at deeper layers were all significantly higher than those at surface layers,which indicated that N_(2)O was diffused from the deeper layers to the surface layers in the soil,and finally was emitted to the atmosphere.

文摘Lidar （Light detection and ranging） has special capabilities for remote sensing of many different behaviours of the atmosphere. One of the techniques which show a great deal of promise for several applications is Raman scattering. The detecting capability, including maximum operation range and minimum detectable gas concentration is one of the most significant parameters for lidar remote sensing of pollutants. In this paper, based on the new method for evaluating the capabilities of a Raman lidar system, we present an evaluation of detecting capability of Raman lidar for monitoring atmospheric CO2 in Hefei. Numerical simulations about the influence of atmospheric conditions on lidar detecting capability were carried out, and a conclusion can be drawn that the maximum difference of the operation ranges caused by the weather conditions alone can reach about 0.4 to 0.5km with a measuring precision within 30ppmv. The range of minimum detectable concentration caused by the weather conditions alone can reach about 20 to 35 ppmv in vertical direction for 20000 shots at a distance of 1 km on the assumption that other parameters are kept constant. The other corresponding parameters under different conditions are also given. The capability of Raman lidar operated in vertical direction was found to be superior to that operated in horizontal direction. During practical measurement with the Raman lidar whose hardware components were fixed, aerosol scattering extinction effect would be a significant factor that influenced the capability of Raman lidar. This work may be a valuable reference for lidar system designing, measurement accuracy improving and data processing.
