Seasonal changes in the distribution of dissolved organic nitrogen in coastal and open-ocean waters in the North East Pacific: sources and sinks

The distribution of dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) and nitrate were determined seasonally (winter, spring and summer) during three years along line P, i.e. an E-W transect from the coast of British Columbia, Canada, to Station P (50degreesN, 145degreesW) in the subarctic North East Pacific Ocean. In conjunction, DON measurements were made in the Straits of Juan de Fuca and Georgia within an estuarine system connected to the NE Pacific Ocean. The distribution of DON at the surface showed higher values of 4-17 muM in the Straits relative to values of 4-10 muM encountered along line P, respectively. Along line P, the concentration of DON showed an inshore-offshore gradient at the surface with higher values near the coast. The equation for the conservation of DON showed that horizontal transport of DON (inshore-offshore) was much larger than vertical physical mixing. Horizontal advection of DON-rich waters from the coastal estuarine system to the NE Pacific Ocean was likely the cause of the inshore-offshore gradient in the concentration of DON. Although the concentration of DON was very variable in space and time, it increased from winter to summer, with an average build up of 4.3 muM in the Straits and 0.7 muM in the NE subarctic Pacific. This implied seasonal DON sources of 0.3 mmol N m(-2) d(-1) at Station P and 1.5 mmol N m(-2) d(-1) in the Straits, respectively. These seasonal DON accumulation rates corresponded to about 15-20% of the seasonal nitrate uptake and suggested that there was a small seasonal build up of labile DON at the surface. However, the long residence times of 180-1560 d indicated that the most of the DON pool in surface waters was refractory in two very different productivity regimes of the NE Pacific.

线粒体DNA nad1序列在青海云杉青藏高原台面和周边地区种群中的变异

青藏高原是气候变迁的敏感区。但第四纪以来全球气候的反复变化对该地区植物分布格局的影响至今未进行过仔细研究。线粒体DNA在松科植物中是母系遗传，其变异被广泛用于研究该科植物历史上由于气候变迁造成的瓶颈作用以及冰期后扩张中形成的奠基者效应。对青海云杉位于青藏高原核心、其边缘甘肃和宁夏地区共12个种群155个个体的线粒体nad1片段的全序列进行测序，研究该序列在各种群中的变异状况。通过测序发现该片段在青海云杉中十分保守，在所有个体中仅发现由于重复序列造成的5种单倍型（HapA，HapB，HapC，HapD和HapE）。高原核心的所有种群均只有HapA，而所有的4种单倍型都在高原边缘的甘肃地区存在，但这一地区仍然是HapA占优势；但是在远离高原的宁夏地区则存在5种单倍性；多样性的变异趋势是宁夏地区高于高原边缘的甘肃地区，而甘肃地区又显著高于高原核心地区。这一结果表明，在过去气候变迁过程中，不同地区的青海云杉种群经历了不同的气候影响，这种影响造成的奠基者效应或者瓶颈作用是造成目前这种遗传多样性分布格局的主要原因。现有的单倍型分布格局，特别是高原上所有间断分布种群拥有相同的单倍型表明，森林回迁中的奠基者效应应是更为重要的因素。

准噶尔盆地低阻油藏实验研究及储层评价方法

Low resistivity reservoir is a special reservoir which is different from normal reservoir in identification and evaluation.Through core experiment and analysis, the achievement of which resistivity is resulted from clay additive electric conductivities and high bound water saturation in Junggar basin is gained. For accurately evaluating low resistivity, a good many of experiment have been completed, such as resistivity index and formation factor in hi^jher temperature and higher pressure, semi-permeability board, cation exchange, bound water, NMR (nucleus magnetism response), non-Nad water in different temperature and salinity, the experiments result show that lower resistivity has complex relation with these electric-parameters and chloric ion content in non-NaCl water.Based on comprehensive interpretation of NMR and normal resistivity data, the volume of moved water, bound water, moved oil and residual oil in the strata can be determined quantitatively and which have significant influence on reservoir recognition and perforation optimized.Experiment data (SEM mold, thin section, X ray diffraction, mercury penetration) can be used to analysis low resistivity forming and the relation between low resistivity and pore texture, to set up relation between porosity, permeability and petrophysical property. The reservoir was sorted, evaluated and described. The oil bedding in southern margin of Junggar basin is low porosity, low resistivity reservoir.Based on invasion theory of electric well-logging, modelling and inversion of resistivity well-logging are accomplished. For enhancing low resistivity resulted from higher bound water saturation and cation exchange, invasion period, invasion radius, the relation between fluid distribution in pore and response of laterolog logging have been studied. Virgin zone resistivity, invasion zone resistivity and invasion radius were inversed and which enhanced evaluation accuracy of reservoir. The method was used to process well-logging data in Luliang oilfield and southern margin in Junggar basin, and reservoir resistivity was enhanced effectively, appropriate oil saturation gained and it has better effect on oil exploration.
