description: A comprehensive atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) data set was collected in eight field experiments (two during each season) over open water and sea ice in the Baltic Sea during 1998–2001 with the primary objective to validate the coupled atmospheric-ice-ocean-land surface model BALTIMOS (BALTEX Integrated Model System). Measurements were taken by aircraft, ships and surface stations and cover the mean and turbulent structure of the ABL including turbulent fluxes, radiation fluxes, and cloud conditions. Measurement examples of the spatial variability of the ABL over the ice edge zone and of the stable ABL over open water demonstrate the wide range of ABL conditions collected and the strength of the data set which can also be used to validate other regional models.

description: Quantification of the downward flux of phosphorus (P) in the water column is essential for understanding the fates and pathways of different P forms and to establish mass-balances in aquatic systems such as the Baltic Sea. In this study, we investigated the amount and composition of settling P in sediment trap material, as well as the seasonal and spatial variation of the material in four archipelago areas along the Swedish and Finnish coasts of the Baltic Proper. It was found that potentially mobile and immobile forms of P make up roughly equal shares of the total P in settling material, implying that, over time, around half of the settling P will be mobilized in the sediments. We also found substantial temporal and spatial variation in terms of amounts and composition of settling P that may partly be explained by differences in primary production and resuspension.

Long term changes of macrozoobenthos in the Arkona Basin (Baltic Sea)

description: In 2001–2004 extensive studies of the macrozoobenthos community within the German Arkona Basin were undertaken. The results with consideration of the habitat conditions prevailing in different depth zones are presented. By multidimensional scaling we distinguished two separate macrozoobenthos communities (global r = 0.758, p = 0.1), one predominant in a habitat with sandy sediment or gravel and stones at water depths < 35 m (8–11 psu) and the other preferring a muddy habitat with higher salinity (11–23 psu) at water depths > 35 m. Additionally, long-term changes in selected benthic species of the Arkona Basin are described by comparing the recent macrozoobenthic data with data sets of the last 80 years. Special emphasis was placed on the use of historical data as a tool of assessment of changes of macrozoobenthic communities with respect to different habitat conditions. While the distribution patterns of several species under investigation have changed between the different time periods, nevertheless, with few exceptions no consistent changes from the past to present days were observed. The species composition of the macrozoobenthic community in the shallower area was very similar during all time periods. Only in deeper waters did we find differences, which may be explained by past changes in hydrography (e.g. salinity, oxygen). In both depth ranges a 3–10-fold increase of abundance from the past to the present has been observed that might have been caused by eutrophication.

description: A pan-European typology and ecological classification system for shallow lakes was developed by the EU-funded project ECOFRAME. Here, we tested how the ECOFRAME typology separates Finnish lakes. Without accounting for division by depth, six different ecotypes resulted, one of which included the majority of the lakes. Subdivision of typology appears necessary, especially for organic types. We also collected data on a set of lakes that were extensively studied for their chemical and biological elements and classified the lakes according to the ECOFRAME classification scheme. In general, the achieved ecological quality status for each lake was less favourable than we had expected. Inspection of individual variables used in the classification highlighted some characteristics of Finnish lakes that need to be addressed in the scheme. Macrophyte variables especially need revision to better reflect the state of Finland's humic waters. However, many of the ECOFRAME solutions and guidelines were directly applicable.

description: A large number of sediment samples (totally 138) were studied in 1991–1996 to clarify the role of sediments as a sink of heavy metals in the Gulf of Riga. The samples were analysed for total content of carbon, organic carbon, cadmium, lead, copper, zinc and mercury. Certain additional elements such as aluminium, lithium, iron, manganese, chromium, nickel, titanium and vanadium were also measured from some of the samples from the accumulation areas to enable combination with corresponding data from other parts of the Baltic Sea. The non-mineralogical portion of the heavy metals of some samples was estimated with nitric acid leaching. Heavy metal data for mean concentrations are shown separated into accumulation and non-deposition areas for 1, 2 and 5 cm sample intervals. Spatial distribution patterns are shown for the topmost 5 cm samples. The highest concentrations of metals are mainly found in the mud accumulation areas and in some specific cases, such as cadmium, in the near-shore areas. Lead, copper and zinc show a more widespread distribution over the whole Gulf. For copper and cadmium the presented vertical distributions of selected profiles show decreased accumulation trends during the past 30 years, while for other elements no similar pattern is identified. Comparisons with the Gulf of Bothnia and Gulf of Finland show that total concentrations of lead, copper and zinc are lower in the Gulf of Riga and cadmium and mercury are in the same range as those in the Gulf of Bothnia and Gulf of Finland.

Calibration of time domain reflectometry for forest soil humus layers
Creators: name: Pumpanen, J.
name: Ilvesniemi, H.
Publisher: name: Boreal Environment Research Publishing Board
Year: 2005

description: Time domain reflectometry (TDR) has become a widely used method for determining the volumetric water content of soils. However, due to the differences in bulk density and surface area, the relationship between the dielectric constant and water content in organic soils is very different from that in mineral soil. It is therefore impossible to have a universal calibration suitable for all soil types. In this article we describe the relationship between the apparent dielectric constant (Ka) and volumetric water content ([theta]v) for homogenized and undisturbed humus layers (Of + Oh) from forested soil using three empirical models. There was a clear relationship between the Ka and [theta]v and this relationship was best described (R2 = 0.968) with a logarithmic equation of the form [theta]v = aln(Ka) – b. Accurate determination of sample volume was the main source of variation in the calibration, having a greater effect on the calibration results than differences in bulk density.

description: The modes of a statistical population are high frequency points around which most of the probability mass is accumulated. For the particular case of circular densities, we address the problem of testing if, given an observed sample of a random angle, the underlying circular distribution model is multimodal. Our work is motivated by the analysis of migration patterns of birds and the methodological proposal follows a novel approach based on likelihood ratio ideas, combined with critical bandwidths. Theoretical results support the behaviour of the test, whereas simulation examples show its finite sample performance.

description: A field study of optical properties of the coastal waters of northwestern Estonia was performed from 29 July to 3 August 2002. It was the relaxation period of extensive cyanobacterial bloom in the Gulf of Finland. The concentrations of optically active substances (chlorophyll a, coloured dissolved organic matter, suspended matter) and spectrometric light attenuation coefficients were determined from water samples. In addition, continuous measurements of attenuation and absorption coefficients were performed using a flow-through system based on the ac-9 device. The results show that variations of the optical properties of the water masses in the coastal sea of northwestern Estonia are mainly due to changes in the concentration of coloured dissolved organic matter. Water turbidity is well characterized by the slope factor of the scattering coefficient spectrum that is approximated by the power law.

description: Transpiration of a mixed spruce-aspen-birch forest at the Valday Hills in Russia was determined using sap flow measurements and two different SVAT (Soil–Vegetation–Atmosphere-Transfer) models. The more sophisticated Mixed Forest multi-layer SVAT model (MF-SVAT) considers water uptake and transpiration of each tree species individually, and the simple Multi-Layer (ML-SVAT) describes the forest stand using averaged effective parameters of canopy structure and tree physiology. Comparisons of modelled and measured transpiration rates under sufficient soil moisture conditions did not show any significant differences between two models. Under limited soil moisture conditions MF-SVAT described forest transpiration still realistically whereas ML-SVAT overestimated it by up to 50%. Drought in the upper soil layers reduced transpiration of spruces more than of deciduous trees due to differences in physiological properties and vertical root distribution. Individual regulation of the transpiration of different tree species is typical for mixed forests and cannot be accurately described with averaged parameterisation such as used in ML-SVAT.

description: This issue is the first of the two special issues related to the research activities at SMEAR (Station for Measuring Forest Ecosystem-Atmosphere Relations) stations. The SMEAR I station, located in Värriö, has been in operation since 1991 and the SMEAR II station, located in Hyytiälä, since 1995. The second special issue will be published in next year with focus on the forest-atmosphere relationship and forest ecology. Both the issues are based on the presentations given in the APFE (Aerosol Physics & Forest Ecology) seminar during 7–9 February 2000. The SMEAR stations are operated by the APFE group. The APFE group consists of ca. 50 scientists and is one of the centres of Excellence in the University of Helsinki. The aerosol research in the SMEAR stations has focussed on the formation and growth of atmospheric aerosols, particularly the nucleation-mode aerosols. Annually around 50 new-particle formation events have been observed with subsequent growth to the Aitken and even to the accumulation mode. These observations have motivated us to study mechanisms behind these formation events. These phenomena have been investigated from physical, chemical, meteorological, and biological points of view. Clear connections have been found between the formation events and e.g. meteorological conditions, aerosol physical and atmospheric chemical conditions, and biological activities. This issue with six papers is a compact demonstration of the aerosol research conducted within the APFE group. The main features of aerosol formation events are reported in the first four papers. The fifth paper describes a development and construction of a Cloud Condensation Nuclei Counter, and in the last paper a new model development is presented. We would like to thank all authors for their contribution and acknowledge the Academy of Finland and University of Helsinki for their financial support.

description: Polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) content and distribution of individual PCB congeners in sediment samples from Kernaalanjärvi, a lake in Finland, were determined with a gas chromatography-electron/capture detection (GC-ECD) technique. Three different extraction methods with hexane–acetone mixture were tested. Neither extended extraction time (1 day vs. 10 days) nor sonication increased the recovery of PCBs from the aged sediments. For freshly spiked PCBs the extraction efficiency was 93% ± 2% (w/w). Total PCB concentrations ranging from 0.5 to 10.7 mg kg–1 d.w. were measured in Kernaalanjärvi sediment samples from the 2–15 cm depth. Comparison of PCB discharge documentation to congener distribution patterns in sediments suggested selective removal of lower chlorinated PCBs by physical processes. There was no evidence of in situ biotransformations of PCBs by indigenous sediment microorganisms. Presence of potentially toxic mono- and di-ortho chlorinated coplanar PCBs in sediments resulted in estimated 2,3,7,8-TCDD (tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin) toxic equivalents between 15 and 301 ng kg–1 d.w.

description: Comparisons of benthic diatom communities were carried out in 12 small Estonian lakes. We compared how substratum type (cobbles versus macrophytes) impact lake ecological status calculations (according to the Water Framework Directive). We hypothesized that in meso- to eutrophic lakes, both communities from macrophytes (epiphyton) and from cobbles (epilithon) would show similar modeling for lake ecological status. In general, epiphyton samples showed a slightly higher ecological status relative to epilithon samples. Comparing studied benthic diatom species assemblages, the number of species was in general higher in the epilithon, but fluctuated more in epiphyton samples. The primary species with abundances ≥ 10% was Achnanthidium minutissimum sensu lato prominently observed in 11 studied lakes. In addition Epithemia sorex dominated in Lake Tamula and Sellaphora atomoides in Lake Uljaste. Our results confirmed our hypothesis that in meso- to eutrophic lakes, the ecological status assessment results were similar using different substrata.

description: Transuranic elements from Chernobyl fallout were detected in freshwater fish sampled in Finland after the accident. Maximum concentrations of 239,240Pu, 241Pu, 241Am and 242Cm were 3.3, 110, 2.6 and 340 mBq kg–1, respectively. In certain samples, 238Pu/239,240Pu ratios were between 1.0 and 7.2 while the expected value was 0.5. This could indicate differences in environmental mobilization between 238Pu and 239,240Pu. The concentration factor (CF) for Am from water to fish flesh, 230, was more than 2 times higher than the figure of 84 for Pu. The CF for Cm, 5100, was considerably higher than that of Am and does not confirm the presence of similar biological behaviour for Am and Cm. The average transfer factor (TF) from deposition to fish was highest for 137Cs, 44 x 10–3 m2 kg–1. This was somewhat higher than the TF for Am but more than 10 times higher than that for Pu. Transuranic depositions that could cause the European Council regulation limit in freshwater fish to be exceeded are, Pu and Am respectively, 3000 and 1500 times higher than the highest fallout of Pu and Am recorded in Finland following the Chernobyl accident.

description: Current land-use patterns in Slovak towns are undergoing a rapid change. The ratio of built-up spaces to green spaces is increasing. Green areas in the urban environment need to be preserved for their recreational, hygienic and aesthetic functions. A further reason is that green areas serve also ecological functions. This contribution deals with the topic of evaluating the urban green spaces in Bratislava. The green spaces were mapped at two levels. The first level included the areas larger than 10 ha: forests and forest parks; complexes of private gardens, allotments and weekend cottage gardens. The second level contained green spaces with the area between 0.5 and 10 ha: remnants of natural vegetation; parks; landscaped surrounds around housing estates and commercial premises; tree-lined avenues, alleys, roadside verges; cemeteries and historical cemeteries. The results of this research besides the geographic distribution of green spaces, their areas, origin, composition of plant species and woody growth structure also include data on the functionality of individual categories of green areas.

description: Annotation. Budgets vary depending on the direction of spending. If the costs of the economy and management are high, this means radical changes in the country's macroeconomic policy. In fact, the state budget must be socialized in essence; for this, domestic investments must be stimulated, and due to this, state costs in the economy must be reduced and its socialization increased. This process is the socialization of the budget process of Uzbekistan and has its own characteristics. This dissertation highlights the main directions of the socialized budget and issues of further improvement of the process in this direction.

Keywords. State budget, social expenditures, socialized budget, education expenditures, expenses, financing, social sector, healthcare. general education, school, cost estimates, first-level budget allocators, second-level budget allocators.

Composing landscape level forest plans for forest areas under multiple private ownership

Year: 2001

description: This study illustrates planning approaches available for forest planning concerning multiple private ownership, referred to here as regional planning. These approaches are necessary because of ecological reasons: evaluating the habitat quality of several species requires examining the forest landscape within areas larger than a single forest holding. Forest holdings are administratively delineated and do not coincide with habitat patches, which leads to interdependencies between forest holdings. The basic planning approaches applied in this study were the top-down, bottom-up and integrated approaches. In the top-down approach, the landscape-level plan was prepared according to landscape-level objectives, ignoring the holding-level objectives. In the bottom-up approach, the landscape-level plan was created by selecting the best combination among already accepted forest plan alternatives first created for each holding. In the integrated approach, landscape-level and forest-holding-level objectives were considered simultaneously in the same optimization model. It was concluded that a general ranking of the approaches is impossible because different planning situations emphasize different requirements. The ranking of approaches depends on the comparison criteria and the planning situation. It is also possible to use several approaches in one planning situation.

description: Water and energy budgets from the National Centers for Environmental Prediction/Dept. of Energy (NCEP/DOE) reanalysis II (NCEPRII) are described for the Baltic Sea catchment and sea (BALTEX). Annually, NCEPRII shows 0.7 mm d–1 of atmospheric moisture converged into the land region with a corresponding runoff of 0.7 mm d–1 to the Baltic Sea, consistent with observations. However, precipitation is too low; evaporation is too large; runoff does not have an appropriate winter minimum and spring maximum; the assimilation and surface nudging are too large. Important hydroclimatic characteristics can still be discerned. During summer, atmospheric water vapor, precipitation, evaporation, and surface and atmospheric radiative heating increase and the atmospheric radiative cooling, dry static energy convergence decrease. There are large contrasts between the sea and land; during winter sensible heat is transferred from the sea to the atmosphere and sea evaporation and precipitation are largest during the fall and winter; somewhat opposite behavior occurs over land.

description: In 1990–1994, the effect of peatland forest ditch maintenance on the concentration of suspended solids in runoff water was studied in Finland in 37 catchments by using a short pre-treatment period and comparing with 31 control areas. On the average, the concentrations of suspended solids were 4–5 mg l–1 in the control areas and in the treatment areas before ditch network maintenance. During a period of 1–3 years after maintenance, the concentration of suspended solids in the water leaving ditch network and entering sedimentation ponds averaged 45.8 mg l–1. The magnitude of the increase depended on the area subjected to ditch maintenance as well as the prevailing soil type at the bottom of the ditches. Measured as 1–3 year averages, only half of the sedimentation ponds reduced the concentration of suspended solids. During the first year after ditch network maintenance, the suspended solids concentration in the water entering the sedimentation ponds averaged 71.3 mg l–1 and the water leaving the ponds 58.1 mg l–1. In the second year, the corresponding values were 26.8 mg l–1 and 21.1 mg l–1 and in the third year, 12.8 mg l–1 and 12.4 mg l–1, respectively.

description: The existence of magic numbers of protons and neutrons in nuclei is essential for understanding nuclear structure and fundamental nuclear forces. Over decades, researchers have conducted theoretical and experimental studies on the new magic number Z(N) = 6, focusing on observables such as radii, binding energy, electromagnetic transition, and nucleon separation energies. We perform the ab initio no-core shell model calculations for the occupation numbers of the lowest single particle states in the ground states of Z(N) = 6 and Z(N) = 8 isotopes (isotones). Our calculations do not support Z(N) = 6 as a magic number over a span of atomic numbers. However, 14C and 14O exhibit the characteristics of double-magic nuclei.

description: The derived climate index is based on monthly values of the first principal component of (i) winter anomalies (January–March) of air pressure difference between Gibraltar and Reykjavik to describe the North Atlantic Oscillation, (ii) sea level anomalies of Landsort (Sweden) to characterise the filling level in the Baltic Proper, and (iii) maximum Baltic ice cover to include the influence of continentally dominated alignments of atmospheric centres of action (1897–2002). Resulting time coefficients were regressively completed by corresponding winter anomalies in air temperature over central England (1659–1896). The power spectrum of the obtained index (WIBIX 1659–2002) exhibits five significant quasi-cycles (2.2, 3, 6, 8, and 14 years), but also suggests periods of about 40 and 100 years. Severe (continental, WIBIX < 0) and mild (maritime, WIBIX > 0) winter types alternate and associated turning points characterise regime shifts affecting the ecosystem. Consequences for the Baltic fishery are discussed
