The northeastern area of Honshu is composed of six departments: Aomori, Iwate, Akita, Miyagi, Yamagata and Fukushima. The study of Paleolithic began in 1927 and has given place to the discovery of the site of Hanaizumi. Subsequently, one pushed the research below on land and the discovery of the first paleolithic site in Iwajyuku happened in 1946. Then, H. Nakagawa took back a success of survey of the geomorphological processes and the ordering of the fluviatile terraces with some layers from the volcano-sedimentary deposit of the Pleistocene in the basin of Kitakami and the one of Mabechi. Therefore, we understood that the archaeological levels of the region contain several sedimentary deposits volcano of quaternary origin from the Mounts Öu. In the basin of Kitakami, one noted the deposit of fall pyroclastic of Aiçra (AT) above the layer of the local volcanic ash from Kurosawajiri. Especially, it is one key of an important layer, the last horizon located under AT and above the tephra of Daïfudô from the local volcano, the pyroclastic stream of Towada and the involution of the layer of the volcanic ash from Kurosawajiri. More than 610 paleolithic sites has been counted in the Northeast. 相似文献

The Bangladesh Sundarbans is the largest continuous mangrove in the world that providing crucial environmental services, particularly related to coastal protection and livelihoods of millions of people. However, anthropogenic disturbances, diseases infestation and environmental changes including sea level rise (SLR) and fresh-water flux into the delta are threatening the Sundarbans and other mangrove ecosystems worldwide. Protection of mangrove ecosystems requires knowledge on factors that mainly drive growth and vitality of tree species to evaluate which consequences can be expected from, mainly hydrology-related, environmental changes. In this study, we assessed the nature and periodicity of tree rings in Excoecaria agallocha, a wide spread mangrove species in the Bangladesh Sundarbans. We also analysed the influence of climatic factors, such as precipitation, temperature and vapor pressure deficit (VPD), and river discharge, as a proxy of salinity on ring width (RW) and vessel features, such as mean vessel area (MVA) and mean vessel density (MVD). E. agallocha forms distinct tree-ring boundary that characterized by a narrow (2–4 cells wide) band of radially flattened fibres. The RW as well as the MVA and MVD are crossdatable. The RW is mainly driven by salinity which is influenced by freshwater inputs through precipitation during monsoon along with river discharge January to April. The MVA and MVD responded to similar seasons and months as RW, but mostly with opposite signs in MVD. The results suggest that fresh water inputs through precipitation and river discharge positively influence the radial growth of E. agallocha in the Sundarbans. The RW and vessel features can be used as proxies to explore the growth dynamics of this species, especially in relation to global environmental changes. 相似文献

The arbuscular mycorrhizal status of fifteen mangroves and one mangrove associate was investigated from 27 sites of three
inundation types namely, diurnal, usual springtide and summer springtide. Roots and rhizospheric soil samples were analysed
for spore density, frequency of mycorrhizal colonization and some chemical characteristics of soil. Relative abundance, frequency
and spore richness of AMF were assessed at each inundation type. All the plant species except Avicennia alba exhibited mycorrhizal colonization. The study demonstrated that mycorrhizal colonization and spore density were more influenced
by host plant species than tidal inundation. Forty four AMF species belonging to six genera, namely Acaulospora, Entrophospora, Gigaspora, Glomus, Sclerocystis and Scutellospora, were recorded. Glomus mosseae exhibited highest frequency at all the inundation types; Glomus fistulosum, Sclerocystis coremioides and Glomus mosseae showed highest relative abundance at sites inundated by usual springtides, summer springtides and diurnal tides, respectively.
Spore richness of AMF was of the order usual springtide > diurnal > summer springtide inundated sites. The mean spore richness
was 3.27. Diurnally inundated sites had the lowest concentrations of salinity, available phosphorus, exchangeable potassium,
sodium and magnesium. Statistical analyses indicated that mycorrhizal frequency and AMF spore richness were significantly
negatively correlated to soil salinity. Spore richness was also significantly negatively correlated to available phosphorus.
The soil parameters of the usual springtide inundated sites appeared to be favourable for the existence of maximum number
of AMF. Glomus mosseae was the predominant species in terms of frequency in the soils of the Sundarbans. 相似文献

Independent observer teams made concurrent counts of Irrawaddy dolphins Orcaella brevirostris and Ganges River dolphins Platanista gangetica gangetica in mangrove channels of the Sundarbans Delta in Bangladesh. These counts were corrected for missed groups using mark-recapture models. For Irrawaddy dolphins, a stratified Lincoln-Petersen model, which incorporated group size and sighting conditions as covariates, and a Huggins conditional likelihood model, which averaged models that individually incorporated group size, sighting conditions, and channel width as covariates, generated abundance estimates of 397 individuals (CV = 10.2%) and 451 individuals (CV = 9.6%), respectively. For Ganges River dolphins, a stratified Lincoln-Petersen model, which incorporated group size as a covariate, and a Huggins conditional likelihood model, which averaged the same models described above, generated abundance estimates of 196 individuals (CV = 12.7%) and 225 individuals (CV = 12.6%), respectively. Although the estimates for both models were relatively close, the analytical advantages of the Huggins models probably outweigh those of the Lincoln-Petersen models. However, the latter should be considered appropriate when simplicity is a priority. This study found that waterways of the Sundarbans support significant numbers of Irrawaddy and Ganges River dolphins, especially compared to other areas where the species have been surveyed. 相似文献

Accumulation of Cr(VI) in rice seeds cultivated in Cr-contaminated soil of the Sundarbans (India) is an environmental problem. Cr(VI) concentration in this soil was 6.2 ± 0.3 mg/kg, whereas total chromium was 32.04 ± 1.60 mg/kg. A Cr(VI)-removing bacterium isolated from Cr-contaminated paddy field soil of Sundarbans was identified as Staphylococcus sciuri. Enrichment culture of S. sciuri was applied to pot cultivation of rice in Cr-contaminated soil. After 8 weeks, 71 ± 3% Cr(VI) (final concentration 2.15 ± 0.01 mg/kg) and 65 ± 2% total Cr removal (end concentration 11.3 ± 0.5 mg/kg) were attained in bacterium-treated soils. Growth parameters indicated healthy development of plants cultivated in bacterium-treated soils that was not observed in control plants. Total Cr removal attained in rice seeds of plants cultivated in bacterium-treated soils compared with control rice seeds was 78 ± 4%. Total Cr concentration in test seeds was 0.72 ± 0.05 mg/kg (World Health Organization [WHO] permissible limit: 1.30 mg/kg), whereas the same in control seeds was 3.27 ± 0.16 mg/kg. Cr(VI) reduction achieved in rice seeds cultivated in bacterium-treated soil compared with control rice seeds was 95 ± 5%. Cr(VI) concentration in rice seeds cultivated in treated soil was 0.050 ± 0.003 mg/kg, whereas the same in untreated control was 0.93 ± 0.05 mg/kg. Successful paddy field soil bioremediation by any Staphylococcus species was demonstrated for the first time. 相似文献

This article concerns the study of the ostracods of the Upper Pliocene-Lower Pleistocene sedimentary deposits cropping out along the south-eastern coast of the Cape Bon Peninsula (Tunisia, Hammamet region, Sidi Khelas section). Fourteen samples were taken along a thirty-two-meters thick sedimentary silico-clastic series. Seventy species of ostracods belonging to twenty-four genera were found. The autochthonous association, which originally lived in an environment located in the infralittoral and upper circalittoral stages of the benthic marine domain, is cyclically affected by inputs from the more superficial environments due to the presence of relatively well-developed lagoon and/or estuary environments in the surrounding coastal areas. Within the ostracod association, the presence of Bythocythere turgida – a true “northern guest” – is particularly significant. This species indicates that these sediments were deposited during the cold phases of the Early Pleistocene. Among the ostracods found, those belonging to the families Trachyleberididae, Hemicytheridae and Bythocytheridae, which are dominant and include particularly significant species from the environmental and paleoclimatic point of view, are systematically recorded and commented on. Some species that are probably new have been described and photographed, but are currently left in open nomenclature because of how few specimens have been found. 相似文献

Synopsis In the Northern Bay of Biscay and west of the Iberian continental shelf five silver eels (Anguilla anguilla L.) have been tagged with ultrasonic transmitters and tracked 13 to 23 hours over a depth of 200 to 2500 m. Their mean direction from release to the final position of tracking was 288° and significantly closer to the direction of the Sargasso Sea (250° west) than silver eels tracked earlier in the North Sea (341°), possibly 260°. Four of the transmitters were equipped with pressure sensing devices capable of indicating depths of at least 400 m. Three eels tracked at night, during full moon, preferred mean depths of 125, 166 or 215 m. One eel chose a depth of 100 m during moonlight and 50 m after the setting of the moon. Major depth changes, usually occurring one per hour, ranged up to a maximum of 200 m at a maximum vertical speed of 0.6 m sec–1; this is close to the eels' normal horizontal speed. At dawn all but one dived to a depth of 400 m or more. The eels generally swam below the thermocline and often crossed it. 相似文献

We examined the relationship between distribution of actinomycetes and antagonistic behaviour with the physico-chemical characteristics of the Sundarbans, off the Bay of Bengal, India. Soil/sediment samples were collected from three regions: near to the sea, intertidal regions and mangrove forests. For the enumeration of actinomycetes, four treatments combining dilution with distilled or sea water with or without heating followed by plating onto starch-casein, glycerol-arginine and starch-nitrate media were done. Dilution with seawater, heating and plating onto starch-casein yielded maximum number of actinomycetes. The highest number of actinomycetes was isolated from an intertidal region having alluvial soil and the lowest from a site containing sandy sediments. Antimicrobial activity was dependent upon seawater. Antimicrobial score of an actinomycetes strain was calculated allotting maximum points to the isolate showing activity against all the test bacteria, next lower point to the isolate showing activity against one less the total and so on. The antagonistic potential (AP) of a sampling site was the ratio of total antimicrobial score of the isolates and their number. The high AP sites were influenced by tides, while the low AP sites were not. Pearson's correlation between soil chemical parameters and microbiological parameters revealed soil nitrogen as the key factor determining the antagonistic activity. 相似文献

The Sundarbans, the largest contiguous mangrove forest in the world, covers 6,017 km2 of the coastal zone of Bangladesh. Heritiera fomes Buch.-Ham., Excoecaria agallocha L. and Ceriops decandra (Griff.) Ding Hou jointly cover 95% of the forest area. In this study, the results of four forest inventories have been analyzed
to understand observed vegetation dynamics of the Sundarbans from 1926 to 1997. The diversity of forest types has been gradually
reduced over time, but H. fomes and E. agallocha have maintained their dominance over large portions of the forest. H. fomes is spread over 67% of the vegetated area of the forest, concentrated mostly in the northeastern area, and constitutes 75%
of the density of trees with >15 cm dbh. The distribution and stem density of H. fomes show negative relationships with that of E. agallocha and C. decandra. In terms of coverage, E. agallocha is the most common species, spread over 74% of the vegetated area of the forest, and constitutes 39% of the density of trees
with >2.5 cm dbh. On a longer timeframe (1926–1997), the dominance (coverage and density of larger diameter trees) of H. fomes as well as that of E. agallocha is declining. Even on parameters such as density of trees with >15 cm dbh, the dominance of E. agallocha is declining at a much greater rate than H. fomes. This observation contradicts the successional schemes proposed by different authors. This might indicate that theorizing
successional schemes based on short-term observations on vegetation dynamics is not sufficient. The effect of human interference,
changes in hydroedaphic condition and species interaction should be taken into consideration during explaining observed vegetation
dynamics. Moreover, the need to understand vegetation trajectories at the micro-scale should be emphasized. 相似文献

The Early Cambrian helcionelloid mollusc Anabarella australis is described from North-East Greenland, representing the second occurrence of the species outside of Australia. Other Australian molluscs of this age are known from many localities including North China, Siberia, Altai, Transbaikalia, southern Kazakhstan, Mongolia, eastern Germany and Spain. These records, supported now by A. australis, demonstrate the close proximity of continents in the Early Cambrian. 相似文献
