Seasonal and spatial variations of pore water nutrient concentrations and profile patterns in sediments were studied. Nutrient fluxes at the sediment-water interface （SWI） were measured by incu- bation experiments, and we here discussed the accumulation and transformation processes of nutrients at the SWI. The nutrients generally decreased from the Pearl River outlets downstream, indicating an- thropogenic influences on the nutrient inputs in the estuary. NO3-N concentration was the highest of the three forms of DIN （dissolved inorganic nitrogen, the sum of NH4-N, NO3-N and NO2-N） in the overly- ing water, and NH4-N was the main component of DIN in pore water. The gradual increase of NH4-N and the rapid decrease of NO3-N with sediment depth provided the evidence for anaerobic conditions below the SWI. Negative fluxes of NO3-N and positive fluxes of NH4-N were commonly observed, sug- gesting the denitrification of NO3-N at the SWL The DIN flux direction suggested that the sediment was the sink of DIN in spring, however, the sediment was generally the source of DIN in summer and winter. PO4-P distribution patterns were distinct while SiO4-Si inconspicuously varied in sediment profiles in different seasons. The flux results indicated that PO4-P mainly diffused from the water column to the sediment while SiO4-Si mainly diffused from the sediment to the water column. Generally, the incu- bated fluxes were the coupling of diffusion, bioturbation and biochemical reactions, and were relatively accurate in this study.展开更多

Then we give a complete classification for spacelike M?bius homogeneous hypersurfaces in four dimensional Lorentzian space form. They are either M?bius equivalent to spacelike Dupin hypersurfaces or to some cylinders constructed from logarithmic curves and hyperbolic logarithmic spirals. Some of them have parallel para-Blaschke tensors with non-vanishing M?bius form.展开更多
