We sampled soils with high fertility during the dry season in 2009 and 2010 at three sites on Atasta Peninsula, Campeche. We used allometric equations to estimate above ground biomass (AGB) of trees. AGB was higher in C. erectus (253.18±32.17 t?ha-1), lower in A. germinans (161.93±12.63 t?ha-1), and intermediate in R. mangle (181.70±16.58 t?ha-1) and L. racemosa (206.07±19.12 t?ha-1). Of the three studied sites, the highest absolute value for AGB was 279.72 t?ha-1 in button mangrove forest at any single site. Carbon stored in soil at the three sites ranged from 36.80±10.27 to 235.77±66.11 t?ha-1. The Tukey test (p 〈0.05) made for AGB was higher for black mangrove showed significant differences in soil carbon content between black mangrove and button mangrove. C. erectus had higher AGB compared with the other species. A. germinans trees had lower AGB because they grew in hypersaline environments, which reduced their development. C. erectus grew on higher ground where soils were richer in nutrients. AGB tended to be low in areas near the sea and increased with distance from the coast. A. germinans usually grew on recently deposited sediments. We assumed that all sites have the same potential to store carbon in soil, and then we found that there were no significant differences in carbon content between the three samples sites: all sites had potential to store carbon for long periods. Carbon storage at the three sampling sites in the state of Campeche, Mexico, was higher than that reported for other locations.展开更多

New types of section steel usually are long and with large cross section. Therefore, for the sake of the cost, steel plate welding structure is used home and abroad. During the welding process, welding distortion seems unavoidable. Presently, proper welding machinery, technique and standards are adopted to minimize the distortion. Angular distortion is corrected with oil press and angular distortion corrector, while horizontal distortions like sickle curve and arch are mainly done with flame. Flame correction is of great labor intensity and is also time and material consuming. Besides, the correction is affected by the operators’ skill and mood, which, to some extent, limits the productivity. In this paper, a new technique of section steel distortion correction with high efficiency and adaptability and yet low investment and cost will be proposed for the development of new-type section steel. The correction principles and capability calculation should be done some research on, which will be introduced. The practice done on section steel with a wing edge of 40~60 mm, proves satisfactory: compared with oil-press correction, continual mangling correction saves equipment investment by three quarters, installed capacity by three quarters and investment by three quarters and with a much higher efficiency. Particularly in the distortion correction of heavy welding structures, mangling correction stands out from the crowd. Mangling correction proves to be the best solution to the continual horizontal distortion correction of welding section steel.展开更多
