    Notes: 1. The fashion for examining riverine landscapes is changing as our technical instruments, from microprobes to satellites, expands to be able to examine the spatial and temporal relationships among biota, hydrology and geomorphology across scales from microhabitats to channel units to valleys to catchments.2. The range of successful applications from remote sensing analyses of riverine landscapes has especially increased with the launch of many new instruments that record data across the electromagnetic spectrum. Engineering of the instruments has also improved such that knowledge of the radiometric properties of the digital data is more complete as a result of better instrumentation and installation of on-board calibrations systems for many instruments.3. With the development of faster processing on cheaper computers, it is now common for comprehensive data sets to be processed through algorithms that previously could only be applied to relatively small (〈1 Mbyte) rasters of data. This technical advance is especially important for the statistical algorithms such as principal components and spectral mixture analysis that can decompose gradients in the spectral data. The combined effect is the production of regional views of riverine landscapes separated into components of water, vegetation and soil.4. The landscape properties of riverine landscapes that have been most successfully measured with remote sensing data include community and habitat level classification and connectivity of waterbodies with optical and radar data. Laser and radar altimetric data measured from aircraft provide land elevations at resolutions as fine as decimetres. A remaining challenge is to achieve an exact match between the categories of landscape classification from the remote sensing analysis and data from field surveys or model outputs.5. In contrast to many landscape properties, several water properties are now routinely measured as absolute values (water surface elevation, temperature, surface sediment concentration and algal concentration) with remote sensing. New analyses of both passive and active radar data in addition have led to measurements of inundation and wetness that are providing valuable insight into the dynamics of flooding and its effect on riverine landscapes.6. Finally, an effective examination of the variability in landscape cover includes additional analyses of remote sensing products using pattern metrics that measure the scale of patchiness and distribution of the landscape properties. These types of variability measures at the regional scale contribute to an increased understanding of the way in which spatial heterogeneity of riverine landscapes varies across scales and how landscape filters (sensu Poff, 1997) influence the evolution of these diversity patterns.

    Notes: [Auszug] Measurements of water levels in the main channels of rivers, upland tributaries and floodplain lakes are necessary for understanding flooding hazards, methane production, sediment transport and nutrient exchange. But most remote river basins have only a few gauging stations and these tend ...

    Notes: Abstract : Early Proterozoic (2.0–2.4 Ga), unmetamorphosed mafic dykes intrude Archean (3.1–2.7 Ga) terrains of the northern Sao Francisco craton (Uaua, NE-Brazil). The dykes are composed of evolved [atomic Mg/(Mg+Fe2)〈0.6] two-pyroxene quartz tholeiites, the compositional variations of which are compatible with gabbro fractionation from different parental melts. The incompatible trace-element patterns indicate that the parental melts derived from partial melting of chemically heterogeneous garnet peridotite sources. Geochemistry and Sr-Nd isotopes imply some contamination of the Uaua dyke magma by continental crustal components during emplacement. Sr-isotopes suggest that the “uncontaminated” dykes may be related to time-integrated depleted mantle materials, while Nd-isotopes suggest mantle sources similar to the bulk Earth composition. The “uncontaminated” dykes have a positive Nb-anomaly and incompatible element contents which do not support appreciable enrichment of large ion lithophile and light rare earth elements in the source(s) throughmantle metasomatism and/or crustal components related to dehydration of a subducting slab, and an anorogenic ensialic emplacement is inferred. The Uaua dykes are chemically and isotopically distinct from the Early–Middle Proterozoic (1.9–1.7 Ga) unmetamorphosed dykes from W-Uruguay (Rio de La Plata craton) which are believed to have originated from different garnet peridotite sources. This suggests that Uaua–Uruguay compositional differences may reflect different Archean mantle differentiation and evolution of the cratonization processes. If this possibility proves to be correct, then magma genesis from various South American cratons would be by independent cratonic processes and their imprints on the subcratonic mantle.

    Notes: Summary Using a factorial design with deficient to toxic levels of Mn and B, the absorption and distribution of Fe in tomato plants (Lycopersicum esculentum, var. Marglobe), grown hydroponically in a greenhouse was studied. B was added to disturb growth and hence nutrient demands. Deficient or normal Mn levels antagonize Fe absorption, but the reverse was true when Mn reached toxic values; nevertheless, Mn effect was always antagonistic on Fe transport. A hypothesis for explaining the above-related results, together with P and Ca absorption and distribution, is proposed. Mn/Fe in the shoot is not related at all with plant growth. B levels influence Fe absorption and translocation paralleling the dry matter production.

    Notes: Summary Iron supply influences the amount of manganese absorbed by plants. When it is low, increased manganese uptake and translocation occurs. However, with excessive iron supply an increase in manganese uptake results, but not in its translocation. Manganese uptake is diminished under conditions of very low iron availability.

    Notes: Abstract Damage by radiative frosts is a major limiting factor for coffee cultivation in southern Brazil (south of 20° S latitude). The use of Mimosa scabrella (bracatinga) as a shade tree, to modify the local energy balance and thus prevent damage to the coffee plants, has been evaluated from 1986 to 1994. The study was carried out near Londrina, Parana State (23°23' S, 51°11′ W). During the experimental period, several radiative frosts with intensity ranging from moderate to very severe occurred at the site. Minimum coffee leaf temperatures during these events were 2 to 4 °C higher in the shaded plots. Due to frost protection, coffee bean yields on the average of 7 harvests were higher on the shaded plots. The potential of this system for frost protection in southern Brazil is discussed.

    Notes: Summary Pea plants (Pisum sativum L., var. Lincoln) were grown in nutrient cultures at 4 levels of iron, 0.60 ppm (low), 0.96 ppm (low), 3.0 ppm (normal) and 30 ppm (excess) for 45 days. Leaf extracts were assayed for chlorophyll, proteins, catalase and peroxidase activities. Catalase and chlorophyll were closely related to iron supply. An inverse relationship was observed between peroxidase and catalase activities. Peroxidase was increased both at dificiency and excess iron levels, but was depressed at normal iron supply. The peroxidase/catalase ratio varied with iron supply and showed a minimum value of about 39 at 15 and 30 days growth, at adequate iron supplies. Measurement of catalase activity and the use of peroxidase/catalase ratios appear to be helpful in identifying iron deficiencies in peas.
