The dynamic chemistry of transition metals in the troposphere

The redox chemistry of Fe, Cu, Mn, and Cr in fog and cloudwater, ambient aerosols, and surface microlayer has been investigated at coastal and inland locations in the Los Angeles basin, in Bakersfield, California, at Whiteface Mt., New York, and on Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. Samples were collected and analyzed for Fe(II), Fe(III), Fe-_(tot), Cu(I), Cu-_(tot), Mn(III+IV), Mn_(tot), Cr(III), Cr(VI), S(IV), S(VI), organic ligands (formate, acetate, oxalate). TOC (total organic carbon), pH, major cations (Na^+, Ca^(2+), NH_4^+, Mg_2^+, K^+), chloride, sulfate, nitrate, peroxides (RO_2H), and aldehydes (RCHO); the amount of sunlight was also measured. The concentrations and the ratios between the measured oxidation states and the total metal concentrations are as follows: Fe(II)(μM) Fe(II)/Fe_(tot) Cu(I)(μM) Cu(I)/Cu_(tot) 0.1-5 0.02-0.55 0.02-0.27 0.3-0.96 Mn(IV)(μM) Mn(IV)/Mn_(tot) Cr(III)(μM) Cr(III)/Cr_(tot) 0.026-0.21 0.25-0.97 0.002-0.051 0.09-0.74 The atmospheric redox cycle of Fe involves both dissolved and aerosol surface species and appears to be related to the presence of organic compounds which act as electron donors for the reduction of Fe(III). Fe(III) reduction is enhanced by light, but significant Fe(II) levels were observed in the dark. We suggest that reduction of Fe(III) species by organic electron donors may be an important pathway that affects the speciation of Fe in both urban and rural atmospheres. We found that 40-70% of the total chromium (-20 nM) was Cr(VI) in three cloudwater samples at Whiteface Mt. In the surface micro layer samples, a significant amount of Cr(III) was detected when the concentration of TOC was elevated. The concentrations of Cu(I) and Mn(III+IV) are below detection limit in most samples. In the few samples with measurable concentrations of Mn, Mn is in the reduced, Mn(II), state. In addition to field observations, the photolytic reduction of amorphous iron hydroxide (am-Fe(OH)_3), lepidocrocite (y-FeOOH), goethite (a-FeOOH), hematite (α-Fe_2O_3), and natural iron containing aerosol particles in the presence of formaldehyde, formate, acetate, oxalate, and butyrate has been investigated in the laboratory. Important parameters in the photoreduction experiments are pH, wavelength of the irradiating light, the nature of the electron donor, and the characteristics of the iron phase. The results show that the fastest rates of photoreduclion of Fe( III) to Fe(II) are achieved with am-Fe(OH)_3 as the electron acceptor and formate as the electron donor. Ambient iron-containing aerosol particles with oxalate as the electron donor resulted in a significant photochemical production of H_2O_2

A global method for calculating plant CSR ecological strategies applied across biomes world-wide

Competitor, stress‐tolerator, ruderal (CSR) theory is a prominent plant functional strategy scheme previously applied to local floras. Globally, the wide geographic and phylogenetic coverage of available values of leaf area (LA), leaf dry matter content (LDMC) and specific leaf area (SLA) (representing, respectively, interspecific variation in plant size and conservative vs. acquisitive resource economics) promises the general application of CSR strategies across biomes, including the tropical forests hosting a large proportion of Earth´s diversity.We used trait variation for 3068 tracheophytes (representing 198 families, six continents and 14 biomes) to create a globally calibrated CSR strategy calculator tool and investigate strategy?environment relationships across biomes world‐wide.Due to disparity in trait availability globally, co‐inertia analysis was used to check correspondence between a ?wide geographic coverage, few traits? data set and a ?restricted coverage, many traits? subset of 371 species for which 14 whole‐plant, flowering, seed and leaf traits (including leaf nitrogen content) were available. CSR strategy/environment relationships within biomes were investigated using fourth‐corner and RLQ analyses to determine strategy/climate specializations.Strong, significant concordance (RV = 0·597; P < 0·0001) was evident between the 14 trait multivariate space and when only LA, LDMC and SLA were used.Biomes such as tropical moist broadleaf forests exhibited strategy convergence (i.e. clustered around a CS/CSR median; C:S:R = 43:42:15%), with CS‐selection associated with warm, stable situations (lesser temperature seasonality), with greater annual precipitation and potential evapotranspiration. Other biomes were characterized by strategy divergence: for example, deserts varied between xeromorphic perennials such as Larrea divaricata, classified as S‐selected (C:S:R = 1:99:0%) and broadly R‐selected annual herbs (e.g. Claytonia perfoliata; R/CR‐selected; C:S:R = 21:0:79%). Strategy convergence was evident for several growth habits (e.g. trees) but not others (forbs).The CSR strategies of vascular plants can now be compared quantitatively within and between biomes at the global scale. Through known linkages between underlying leaf traits and growth rates, herbivory and decomposition rates, this method and the strategy?environment relationships it elucidates will help to predict which kinds of species may assemble in response to changes in biogeochemical cycles, climate and land use.Fil: Pierce, Simon.
