Companion crop performance in the absence and presence of agronomic manipulation
© CSIRO 2007A field experiment located in southern New South Wales compared the component yields of cereal–lucerne companion crops (cereals sown into established lucerne) with the yields of cereal and lucerne monocultures. In-crop lucerne herbicide suppression, cereal crop types (wheat and barley), and top-dressed nitrogen (N) were evaluated for the potential to improve cereal production in the presence of lucerne. Plant populations and biomass, cereal grain yields, and grain quality (protein, screenings, and contamination) were measured. Over the 3-year study, cereals sown into established lucerne (4 years of age at the commencement of the experiment) yielded 17% less (P < 0.05) grain than the cereal monoculture. Companion cropping also resulted in a 71% reduction (P < 0.05) in lucerne biomass over the growing season compared with the lucerne monoculture, but a 3-fold (P < 0.05) increase in total (cereal and lucerne) biomass production. There were no differences between wheat and barley crops in the presence of lucerne, although extensive lodging in the 2003-barley monoculture did result in a significant main treatment (+/0 lucerne and +/0 in-crop lucerne suppression) × crop type (wheat and barley) interaction in grain yield, but not cereal biomass. N top-dressed after tillering onto cereal–lucerne companion crops did not increase grain yield, although it did increase cereal biomass in 2003. Whilst in-crop lucerne suppression did not increase cereal grain yields, it did increase (P < 0.05) cereal biomass and reduced lucerne biomass at cereal maturity and contamination (lucerne pods and flowers) of the cereal grain. However, this practice reduced (P < 0.05) lucerne populations, and therefore potentially threatens the longer term viability of lucerne stands so more research is recommended to develop less detrimental strategies for achieving effective in-crop lucerne suppression. This study combined with results from others, suggests that rainfall was a major factor determining cereal responses in the presence of lucerne, and although there were responses in cereal biomass to additional N and herbicide suppression, these strategies appear to only have potential under favourable growing-season conditions.R.

BR96-doxorubicin conjugate (BMS-182248) versus doxorubicin: a comparative toxicity assessment in rats
The toxicity of BMS-182248, an immunoglobulin (cBR96)-cytotoxic drug (doxorubicin) conjugate, was investigated in Sprague-Dawley rats at single intravenous doses of 508, 1,200, and 2,550 mg/m(2) (conjugated doxorubicin doses of 14.7, 34.8, and 74 mg/m(2), respectively) and compared to that obtained from administration of free doxorubicin at single doses of 33.6 and 72 mg/m(2) (approximately equivalent to that contained in the 1,200- and 2,550-mg/m(2) doses of BMS-182248, respectively). Necropsies were conducted on day 8, upon death/moribund sacrifice, or after an approximate 3-mo observation period following completion of treatment. Death/moribundity of all rats that received 72 mg/m(2) and of 9 of 20 rats given 33.6 mg/m(2) free doxorubicin were attributed primarily to delayed cardiotoxicity and glomerulonephropathy. With BMS-182248, death from glomerulonephropathy and cardiotoxicity occurred in only 4 of 20 rats given 2,550 mg/m(2) (74 mg/m(2) doxorubicin equivalent). No deaths or cardiotoxicity occurred in rats given 508 or 1,200 mg/m(2) BMS-182248. Additional effects noted with either drug included testicular atrophy, axonal degeneration of sciatic nerve and nerve tracts of brain and spinal cord, teeth (incisor) abnormalities, thymic atrophy, bone marrow hypocellularity, splenic lymphoid and red-pulp depletion, and increased extramedullary hematopoiesis in the spleen and liver. Also noted were altered chief cells in the stomach, vacuolation of adrenal gland and corpora lutea in the ovary, uterine and seminal vesicle atrophy, ulceration and myocyte regeneration/degeneration in the tongue, increased osteoclasts and osteoblasts in bone, and lymphoid hyperplasia of mandibular lymph node. In general, these effects were more severe in doxorubicin-treated rats. All changes observed with EMS-182248 were considered primarily due to the effects of doxorubicin and were substantially less severe (most notably cardiotoxicity) compared to those produced by an equivalent amount of doxorubicin.PT: J; NR: 0; TC: 10; J9: TOXICOL PATHOL; PG: 16; GA: PX206Source type: Electronic(1
Constraints on the Depth, Thickness, and Strength of the G Discontinuity in the Central Pacific From S Receiver Functions

This shear zone is typically referred to as the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary (LAB). The width of this zone and the mechanisms accommodating shear across it have important implications for coupling between mantle convection and surface plate motion. Seismic observations have provided evidence for several physical mechanisms that might help enable relative plate motion, but how these mechanisms each contribute to the overall accommodation of shear remains unclear. Here we present receiver function constraints on the discontinuity structure of the oceanic upper mantle at the NoMelt site in the central Pacific, where local constraints on shear velocity, anisotropy, conductivity, and attenuation down to ∼300 km depth provide a comprehensive picture of upper mantle structure. We image a seismic discontinuity with a Vsv decrease of 4.5% or more over a 0–20 km thick gradient layer centered at a depth of ∼65 km. We associate this feature with the Gutenberg discontinuity (G), and interpret our observation of G as resulting from strain localization across a dehydration boundary based on the good agreement between the discontinuity depth and that of the dry solidus. Transitions in Vsv, azimuthal anisotropy, conductivity, and attenuation observed at roughly similar depths suggest that the G discontinuity represents a region of localized strain within a broader zone accommodating shear between the lithosphere and asthenosphere.This work was supported by NSF grant OCE-0928663 to D.

Azimuthal seismic anisotropy of 70-ma Pacific-plate upper mantle.

The definitive version was published in Journal of Geophysical Research-Solid Earth 124(2), (2019):1889-1909, doi:10.1029/2018JB016451.Plate formation and evolution processes are predicted to generate upper mantle seismic anisotropy and negative vertical velocity gradients in oceanic lithosphere. However, predictions for upper mantle seismic velocity structure do not fully agree with the results of seismic experiments. The strength of anisotropy observed in the upper mantle varies widely. Further, many refraction studies observe a fast direction of anisotropy rotated several degrees with respect to the paleospreading direction, suggesting that upper mantle anisotropy records processes other than 2‐D corner flow and plate‐driven shear near mid‐ocean ridges. We measure 6.0 ± 0.3% anisotropy at the Moho in 70‐Ma lithosphere in the central Pacific with a fast direction parallel to paleospreading, consistent with mineral alignment by 2‐D mantle flow near a mid‐ocean ridge. We also find an increase in the strength of anisotropy with depth, with vertical velocity gradients estimated at 0.02 km/s/km in the fast direction and 0 km/s/km in the slow direction. The increase in anisotropy with depth can be explained by mechanisms for producing anisotropy other than intrinsic effects from mineral fabric, such as aligned cracks or other structures. This measurement of seismic anisotropy and gradients reflects the effects of both plate formation and evolution processes on seismic velocity structure in mature oceanic lithosphere, and can serve as a reference for future studies to investigate the processes involved in lithospheric formation and evolution.We thank the Captain and crew of the R/V Marcus G.

High-resolution constraints on pacific upper mantle petrofabric inferred from surface-wave anisotropy.

The definitive version was published in Journal of Geophysical Research-Solid Earth 124(1), (2019): 631-657, doi:10.1029/2018JB016598.Lithospheric seismic anisotropy illuminates mid‐ocean ridge dynamics and the thermal evolution of oceanic plates. We utilize short‐period (5–7.5 s) ambient‐noise surface waves and 15‐ to 150‐s Rayleigh waves measured across the NoMelt ocean‐bottom array to invert for the complete radial and azimuthal anisotropy in the upper ∼35 km of ∼70‐Ma Pacific lithospheric mantle, and azimuthal anisotropy through the underlying asthenosphere. Strong azimuthal variations in Rayleigh‐ and Love‐wave velocity are observed, including the first clearly measured Love‐wave 2θ and 4θ variations. Inversion of averaged dispersion requires radial anisotropy in the shallow mantle (2‐3%) and the lower crust (4‐5%), with horizontal velocities (VSH) faster than vertical velocities (VSV). Azimuthal anisotropy is strong in the mantle, with 4.5–6% 2θ variation in VSV with fast propagation parallel to the fossil‐spreading direction (FSD), and 2–2.5% 4θ variation in VSH with a fast direction 45° from FSD. The relative behavior of 2θ, 4θ, and radial anisotropy in the mantle are consistent with ophiolite petrofabrics, linking outcrop and surface‐wave length scales. VSV remains fast parallel to FSD to ∼80 km depth where the direction changes, suggesting spreading‐dominated deformation at the ridge. The transition at ∼80 km perhaps marks the dehydration boundary and base of the lithosphere. Azimuthal anisotropy strength increases from the Moho to ∼30 km depth, consistent with flow models of passive upwelling at the ridge. Strong azimuthal anisotropy suggests extremely coherent olivine fabric. Weaker radial anisotropy implies slightly nonhorizontal fabric or the presence of alternative (so‐called E‐type) peridotite fabric. Presence of radial anisotropy in the crust suggests subhorizontal layering and/or shearing during crustal accretion.We thank the captain, crew, and engineers of the R/V Marcus G.

Diapirs as the source of the sediment signature in arc lavas
Author Posting. © The Author(s), 2011. This is the author's version of the work. It is posted here by permission of Nature Publishing Group for personal use, not for redistribution. The definitive version was published in Nature Geoscience 4 (2011): 641-646, doi:10.1038/ngeo1214Many arc lavas show evidence for the involvement of subducted sediment in the melting process. There is debate whether this “sediment melt” signature forms at relatively low temperature near the fluid-saturated solidus or at higher temperature beyond the breakdown of trace-element-rich accessory minerals. We present new geochemical data from high- to ultrahigh-pressure rocks that underwent subduction and show no significant depletion of key trace elements in the sediment melt component until peak metamorphic temperatures exceeded ~1050ºC from 2.7 to 5 GPa. These temperatures are higher than for the top of the subducting plate at similar pressures based on thermal models. To address this discrepancy, we use instability calculations for a non-Newtonian buoyant layer in a viscous half-space to show that, in typical subduction zones, solid-state sediment diapirs initiate at temperatures between 500–850ºC. Based on these calculations, we propose that the sediment melt component in arc magmas is produced by high degrees of dehydration melting in buoyant diapirs of metasediment that detach from the slab and rise into the hot mantle wedge. Efficient recycling of sediments into the wedge by this mechanism will alter volatile fluxes into the deep mantle compared to estimates based solely on devolatilization of the slab.Funding for this work was provided by NSF and WHOI’s Deep Ocean Exploration Institute
Implications of grain size evolution on the seismic structure of the oceanic upper mantle
Author Posting. © Elsevier B.V., 2009. This is the author's version of the work. It is posted here by permission of Elsevier B.V. for personal use, not for redistribution. The definitive version was published in Earth and Planetary Science Letters 282 (2009): 178-189, doi:10.1016/j.epsl.2009.03.014.We construct a 1-D steady-state channel flow model for grain size evolution in the
oceanic upper mantle using a composite diffusion-dislocation creep rheology. Grain size
evolution is calculated assuming that grain size is controlled by a competition between dynamic
recrystallization and grain growth. Applying this grain size evolution model to the oceanic upper
mantle we calculate grain size as a function of depth, seafloor age, and mantle water content.
The resulting grain size structure is used to predict shear wave velocity (VS) and seismic quality
factor (Q). For a plate age of 60 Myr and an olivine water content of 1000 H/106Si, we find that
grain size reaches a minimum of ~15 mm at ~150 km depth and then increases to ~20–30 mm at
a depth of 400 km. This grain size structure produces a good fit to the low seismic shear wave
velocity zone (LVZ) in oceanic upper mantle observed by surface wave studies assuming that the
influence of hydrogen on anelastic behavior is similar to that observed for steady state creep.
Further it predicts a viscosity of ~1019 Pa s at 150 km depth and dislocation creep to be the
dominant deformation mechanism throughout the oceanic upper mantle, consistent with
geophysical observations. We predict larger grain sizes than proposed in recent studies, in which
the LVZ was explained by a dry mantle and a minimum grain size of 1 mm. However, we show
that for a 1 mm grain size, diffusion creep is the dominant deformation mechanism above 100–
200 km depth, inconsistent with abundant observations of seismic anisotropy from surface wave
studies. We therefore conclude that a combination of grain size evolution and a hydrated upper
mantle is the most likely explanation for both the isotropic and anisotropic seismic structure of
the oceanic upper mantle. Our results also suggest that melt extraction from the mantle will be
significantly more efficient than predicted in previous modeling studies that assumed grain sizes
of ~1 mm.Funding for this research was

Sensitivity of Winter-Active Lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) to Different Grazing Regimes
Lucerne (alfalfa; Medicago sativa L.) is the key forage for grazing in dryland temperate regions around the world. While rotational grazing of lucerne is recommended, in southern Australia the intervals between grazing events are often chosen in an opportunistic manner, to meet livestock production targets and utilise excessive spring and summer growth. To assess whether the persistence of lucerne is sensitive to variations in rotational grazing management practice, we report on an experiment with four sheep grazing treatments that was conducted for 2.5 years, including three summers, in southern New South Wales. The grazing management treatments were a crash-grazing control, frequent grazing, feed-based rotational grazing and time-based rotational grazing, replicated four times. The number of grazing events, percentage of time under grazing, lucerne top dry matter (DM) at the beginning and end of grazing periods and plant density were measured. The results relating to number of grazing events, percentage of time grazing and DM removed during grazing indicated that four grazing practices had been achieved. The treatments all had significant periods of rest for at least 73% of time and were empirically different in their approach but resulted in similar grazing pressures, in terms of overall pasture removed during grazing. Nevertheless, there was little difference in lucerne densities between grazing treatments over the life of the experiment. We conclude that there is flexibility in the rotational management of grazed lucerne provided adequate rest periods are part of the management program
