    Notes: Abstract The need to combine data from CO2 field experiments with climate data remains urgent, particularly because each CO2 experiment cannot run for decades to centuries. Furthermore, predictions for a given biome need to take into account differences in productivity and leaf area index (LAI) independent of CO2-derived changes. In this study, we use long-term weather records and field data from the Jasper Ridge CO2 experiment in Palo Alto, California, to model the effects of CO2 and climate variability on ecosystem water fluxes. The sandstone and serpentine grasslands at Jasper Ridge provide a range of primary productivity and LAI, with the sandstone as the more productive system. Modeled soil water availability agreed well with published observations of time-domain reflectometry in the CO2 experiment. Simulated water fluxes based on 10-year weather data (January 1985–December 1994) showed that the sandstone grassland had a much greater proportion of water movement through plants than did the serpentine; transpiration accounted for approximately 30% of annual fluxes in the sandstone and only 10% in the serpentine. Although simulated physiological and biomass changes were similar in both grasslands, the consequences of elevated CO2 were greater for the sandstone water budget. Elevated CO2 increased soil drainage by 20% in the sandstone, despite an approximately one-fifth increase in plant biomass; in the serpentine, drainage increased by 〈10% and soil evaporation was unchanged for the same simulated biomass change. Phenological changes, simulated by a 15-day lengthening of the growing season, had minimal impacts on the water budget. Annual variation in the timing and amount of rainfall was important for water fluxes in both grasslands. Elevated CO2 increased sandstone drainage 〉50 mm in seven of ten years, but the relative increase in drainage varied from 10% to 300% depending on the year. Early-season transpiration in the sandstone decreased between 26% and 41%, with elevated CO2 resulting in a simulated water savings of 54–76 mm. Even in years when precipitation was similar (e.g., 505 and 479 mm in years 3 and 4), the effect of CO2 varied dramatically. The response of grassland water budgets to CO2 depends on the productivity and structure of the grassland, the amount and timing of rainfall, and CO2-induced changes in physiology. In systems with low LAI, large physiological changes may not necessarily alter total ecosystem water budgets dramatically.

    Notes: Abstract Changes in plant community structure are identified as a result of grazing in grasslands of the flooding pampa which evolved under supposedly light grazing conditions. The effect of excluding grazing upon total leaf area index was an increase of 30%. The largest response was observed in the distribution of leaves in the canopy. In the grazed areas, most of the green material was concentrated in the 0–5 cm layer while in the ungrazed treatments the largest portion of the leaf area was in the 10–30 cm layer. Grazing exclusion resulted in a small change in total basal area but a larger change in its distribution, from many small tussocks to less numerous large ones. The effect of grazing upon leaf area and basal area was accounted for by changes in vigor as well as by changes in species composition. The major effect of excluding grazing upon species composition was the disappearance of some native planophile species and most of the exotics. The species composition of grazed areas of both communities was very similar while there were large differences between the ungrazed areas and between the grazed and ungrazed areas of the same community. It is suggested that there is a group of species which responds to the coarse-grained ‘signal’ of grazing and its presence can cause dissimilar communities to converge under grazing conditions. The other group of species responded to the fine-grained ‘signal’ of the environmental conditions associated with topography.

    Notes: The room-temperature polarized Raman scattering of single-crystal Ba [Fe(CN)5NO] · 3H2O, space group Pbcm (D112h, No. 57), in the 2200-10 cm-1 spectral range, and a factor group analysis of the nitroprusside anion vibrational modes are presented. The near parallelism between the anion NCFeNO axis and a crystallographic axis facilitates the interpretation of the spectra. The data obtained complement already existing IR studies and the two series of results together provide reference information for the understanding of the vibrational behaviour of the recently reported electronically excited metastable states of the anion. The Raman data confirm the existence of a relatively large correlation (Davydov) splitting between NO stretching modes due to vibrational coupling between neighbouring nitrosyl groups in the lattice.

    Notes: The surface-enhanced Raman spectra of the redox pair Co(sep)3+/Co(sep)2+ (sep: sepulchrate) adsorbed on silver and copper electrodes have been obtained in the skeletal region for these compounds and the results were consistent with the redox potential of the species. The role of the anions and cations of the support electrolytes in the adsorption of the Co(sep)3+ on a silver electrode suggests that the compound is adsorbed on the electrode via ion pair formation with the anion specifically adsorbed. From the behaviour of the Raman intensity of the CH2 symmetrical stretching vibration it was possible to estimate the pKa of the Co(sep)2+.

    Notes: A study of the electronic, infrared, Raman and pre-resonace Raman spectra of the solid complex tris(8-hydroxyquinolinato)vanadium(III) was performed. The excitation profiles of the vibrational modes that show preresonance on excitation with laser lines within the electronic bands in the visible region are reported and, on this basis and molecular orbital calculations, several vibrational and electronic absorption bands were assigned.

    Notes: As part of a general study on the behaviour of acetaldehyde as an atmospheric pollutant, the Raman and infrared spectra are presented of acetaldehyde isolated in argon and nitrogen matrices. Using the observed frequencies, the thermodynamic functions were calculated. By obtaining the vibrational spectra at low temperature, it was possible to assess the results of the photochemical studies that have been done in matrices with both argon and nitrogen gases. The main products in the photochemical decomposition of acetaldehyde under the conditions adopted are methane and carbon monoxide.

    Notes: The temperature dependence of the Raman spectrum of potassium perrhenate is reported. Some new detailed results on the temperature dependence of the low frequency Raman bands of ammonium perrhenate are also presented. The frequency versus temperature plots for both internal and external modes of the ReO4- ion in KReO4 appear to be linear over the temperature range from 20 to 300 K. This is in contrast to the non-linear behaviour of the external modes of the ReO4- ion in NH4ReO4. A crossing of the frequencies of the Ag and Eg librational modes of the ReO4- ion in NH4ReO4 occurs near 200 K, the temperature at which anomolies have been observed in the temperature dependence of several physical properties of this salt. The apparent discontinuities near 200 K in the slopes of the wavenumber versus temperature curves reported earlier1 are now shown to be shoulders on smooth curves. Extrapolation of the frequency versus temperature plots of the Eg and Bg translational modes of the ReO4- ion in KReO4 indicates that a crossing of the curves would occur at about 500 K, while for NH4ReO4 the crossing of the frequencies of these modes is observed near 200 K. The significance of these observations with respect to the structure and a possible higher order phase transition in the NH4ReO4 crystal is discussed.

    Notes: The resonance Raman spectra of potassium μ-oxobis[pentacyanomanganate(III)] cyanide, K7[Mn2O(CN)10]CN, were measured using exciting lines at 356.4, 406.7, 530.9, 568.2, 603.5, 647.1 and 676.4 nm. By combining these data with those obtained previously (excitations at 457.9, 476.5, 488.0, 496.5, 514.5 and 608.6 nm), the excitation profiles were plotted for three totally symmetric vibrations at 1880 (CNax strech), 527 (MnCax stretch) and 259 cm-1 (MnOMn stretch). It was found that the equation derived by Mingardi et al. can adequately express these excitation profiles and that the previous assignment of the electronic transition at 509 nm needs revision.

    Notes: The SER spectra of the complexes [Fe(CN)5(4-picolylamine)]3- and [Fe2(CN)10(4-picolylamine)]6- adsorbed on a silver electrode were investigated. The analysis of the frequency shift of the CN stretching mode indicated that both molecules adsorb via one or more CN ligand groups. For potentials more positive than 0.0 V the CN stretching frequency for both complexes moves towards higher wavenumbers charcterizing the presence of Fe(III) over the surface. The SER spectra of 4-picolylamine adsorbed on a silver electrode in solutions of pH 2.8, 6.5 and 10.3 were also investigated. From the data obtained it was concluded that 4-picolylamine in solution at pH 6.5 and 10.3 adsorbs on the electrode through the nitrogen of the pyridine ring.
