Temporal and spatial variations in the distribution of macroalgal communities along the Yantai coast, China

To explore the impact of environmental variables on macroalgal communities, their temporal and spatial distributions were examined along the Yantai coast, China between April 2010 and March 2011. Macroalgae sampling was conducted monthly at four sites along the coast: Jiahe River estuary, Zhifu Island, Fisherman's Wharf, and Yangma Island. The species composition and abundance, and their relationship with environmental variables were assessed. Along the Yantai coast, 35 macroalgae species were identifi ed, including 24 Rhodophyta spp., 7 Chlorophyta, and 4 Phaeophyta spp. Highest species numbers were recorded in the summer at all sampling sites, except in the Jiahe River estuary. Macroalgae biomass was the greatest in the summer. Year-round, the highest species number and dry biomass recorded at Fisherman's Wharf and Yangma Island was attributed to the substrate type. In summer, Ulva pertusa Kjellman was the dominant species identifi ed along the Yantai coast, which indicates a risk of macroalgae blooms. Our results show that seawater temperature and nutrients appear to signifi cantly affect the temporal and spatial patterns of macroalgal abundance along the Yantai coast. The effects of environmental variables on the macroalgae on the Yantai coast need further study.

Driving Mechanism of Cultivated Land Transition in Yantai Proper,Shandong Province,China

Cultivated land transition and its driving mechanism are the hotspots among studies on land use change. In this study, we constructed a framework to study the driving mechanism of cultivated land transition from the quantitative perspective. Based on the vector data of land use in 1990, 2000 and 2009 of Yantai Proper, Shandong Province China, 11 explanatory variables were chosen from two aspects: the elevation, slope, cost distance to major water area and cost distance to minor water area, which presented physical factors; cost distance to district center, cost distance to town center, cost distance to city expansion center, cost distance to major roads, cost distance to city roads, cost distance to county roads and cost distance to rural roads, which presented the socio-economic factors. Combined with spatial analysis tools and Logistic regression analysis model, we construct Logistic regression analyses with four objectives that were urban construction land, rural residential land, orchard and other lands. The results show that, cost distance to district center, cost distance to town center, cost distance to city expansion center and cost distance to city roads are the significant explanatory variables for the transition of cultivated land into urban construction land. The main explained factors on the transition of cultivated land into rural residential land are slope, cost distance to town center, cost distance to county roads and cost distance to rural roads. Slope, cost distance to minor water area, cost distance to town center, cost distance to county roads and cost distance to rural roads are the significant explanatory variables for the transition of cultivated land into orchard land. Elevation, slope, cost distance to major water area and cost distance to minor water area are the main explanatory variables on the transition of cultivated land into other land uses.

SEDIMENTARY PATTERN OF PROTOTYPE BASIN IN THE DEPOSITION PERIOD OF LAIYANG FORMATION AND THE ADVANTAGEOUS AREAS FOR OIL AND GAS EXPLORATION OF JIAOLAI BASIN

Laiyang formation of Jiaolai Basin is the target stratum for oil and gas exploration. By measuring several field sections, the authors find that Laiyang formation reveals the whole processes from development to death of the lake basin and its sedimentary facies differ in different structural locations. Analyses about sedimentary facies and paleocurrent orientations in association with researches about the positive tectonic units such as Dayetou horseback and Chaigou horst indicate that Laiyang sag is a relatively independent sedimentary unit that shows great water depth typical of deep lake or semideep lake and was controlled by Wulongcun fault during the deposition period of Laiyang formation. Its sediments mainly originated from Jiaobei uplift area and Dayetou horseback. Gaomi-Zhucheng sag was a fast-filled basin controlled by Wurong fault and Yishu fault zone, being high in the northeast and low in the northwest and characterized by the development of pluvial facies and fluvial facies in most areas, and with the development of lake facies being limited to local low-lying regions. Selection of advantageous hydrocarbon reservoir areas for exploration purpose mainly relies on the sedimentation pattern of prototype basin and conservation conditions. The central-west area of Laiyang sag covered by overlying Laiyang formation is the most advantageous exploration area.

DISSOLVED AND PARTICULATE ORGANIC CARBON IN YANTAI SISHILI BAY AQUICULTURE WATERS

Investigation of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and particulate organic carbon (POC) at 12 stations in Yantai Sishili Bay in May, August, and November of 1997 and March and May of 1998 showed that DOC concentrations varied from 1.14 mg/L to 5.35 mg/L; that the average values at all stations in each cruise varied from 1.52 mg/L to 2.12 mg/L; that POC concentrations varied from 0.049 mg/L to 1.411 mg/L; and averaged 0.159 mg/L to 0.631 mg/L in each cruise. Horizontal distribution of DOC was influenced by factors such as continental input, organism activity, temperature, aquiculture environment, etc. The higher POC concentration occurred along the coast. The vertical distribution of DOC and POC changed obviously in spring and summer, but not obviously in autumn and winter. DOC concentration was highest in summer and POC in spring; both were lowest in winter. The seasonal change of DOC was consistent with primary productivity seasonal variation, and that of POC was consistent with chlorophyll a seasonal variation. The seasonal change trend of the C/N ratio of dissolved organic matter was obvious, but the C/N ratio of particulate organic matter had no such trend.

Analysis on Causes for Yearly Increment of Content of the Inorganic Phosphorus in the Nearshore Sea Area of Yantai

Detailed analyses of the monitored data provided by the Yantai Ocean Administration Office between 1989 and 1996 show that, the fluctuation regularities of content of the inorganic phosphorus are as follows: the content of inorganic phosphorus fluctuated near the class-1 standard line basically from 1989 to 1993, tended to increase rapidly from 1993, and increased continuously, causing water quality to be deteriorated from the class-2 to class-3 standard by 19%. Causes for increment of the content of inorganic phosphorus are also analyzed. The results show that, the flux of phosphorus entering Yantai nearshore sea area increases at an annual rate of 16.5 percent, in which the increment rates of the phosphorus contained in washing powder and in phosphate fertilizer are 12.9 and 17.5 percent respectively. Both of them kept a positive interrelationship with their fluxes into the sea. In addition, the migration and regeneration mechanism of the phosphorus within the nearshore area also lead to the

Analysis of a Rare Large-scale Hail Process in Yantai and Weihai

A rare large-scale hail process in Yantai and Weihai City in the autumn of 2021 was analyzed based on the surface meteorology,high-altitude observation and S-band radar detection data.The results showed that this process was influenced by shallow trough,and strong upper-level jet stream in the middle and upper levels guided the intrusion of mid-level cold air into the warm and humid environment at the lower level.The shear lines and trunk lines in the lower level also provided certain triggering conditions for uplift,brewing conditions suitable for the occurrence and development of strong convection.The vertical wind shear was unusually large,and vertical wind shear was up to 10 m/s at 0-1 km,20 m/s at 0-3 km,and 32 m/s at 0-6 km,which was conducive to the growth of the storm.In this process,isolated multi-cell thunderstorm was generated at the beginning,and then it developed and strengthened continuously,moving to the southeast.In the later stage,a convection cell was born at the boundary between Yantai and Weihai,and developed into supercell storm.The storm lasted for a long time,and continued to develop and strengthen as it moved eastward,affecting most areas of Weihai from northwest to southeast.In the development stage of the storm,the radar reflectivity factor had obvious characteristics of hook echo and three-body scatter spike,and there was echo overhang and other hail echo features in the middle layer.Weak mesocyclone appeared at a low elevation,and there was the potential for the occurrence of tornado.

Dam Break Flood Risk AssesSment for Laiyang City

A dam failure analysis was performed for the City of Laiyang to determine the flood inundation extents and the breach velocities of a hypothetical failure of the Muyu Reservoir Dam in Shandong Province, China. The study was carried out in four steps. First, the possible reasons of the dam failure were analyzed, and the extreme hydrological event was identified as the most critical cause Second, a numerical simulation of the dam break flood was performed. The key factors considered in this simulation include the water level at the dam （the check flood water level）, the inflow to the reservoir （the check flood hydrograph）, and two typical structural scenarios （with/without-levees） along the river reach downstream of the reservoir. Third, based on flood simulations, flood hazard risk analysis was conducted and the results indicate that the peak discharge would be over 40,000 m3/s at the breachand over 22,000 m3/s near Laiyang City. As a result, most of the urban area would be flooded; the duration from the beginning of the dam break to the arrival of peak discharge at Laiyang City is less than half an hour. Finally, a plan for integrated dam break flood management was presented to mitigate the flood risk; both available structural and nonstructural measures were proposed according to the situations in the river basin. The main strategic advises include flood emergency planning, flood risk mapping, flood monitoring and early warning system construction, reservoir regulation, and flood risk public awareness.
