The impact of changes in regional development along with the construction of Yogyakarta International Airport in Kulon Progo Regency may affect land use changes as the activities of the surrounding population. Galur-Lendah area, which is located near the city of Yogyakarta and acts as the entrance to Kulon Progo, will also develop. Along with these developments, the determination of the groundwater recharge-discharge area is needed to ensure the availability of groundwater at this site. The purpose of this study was to determine the zonation of groundwater recharge-discharge areas to support the availability of groundwater. The method of research is a spatial analysis using a geographic information system (GIS) based on ratings and weighting values for six parameters, including slope, rainfall, groundwater table depth, soil type, rock permeability, and land use. The field hydrogeological was also conducted to find out rock permeability and groundwater quality (pH, EC, TDS). The results showed that areas with potential for groundwater recharge were in the central and northeastern parts of the study area and the discharge zones in the north and south were with potential infiltration values of 26-43 and 44-59, respectively. However, the recharge area can still function as a discharge zone.

In the Central Andes there are developed two marine basins with an extensive Jurassic record: the Neuquén (or Central Andean) Basin and the Tarapacá Basin. Their Jurassic and Lower Cretaceous ammonite successions have been studied extensively for more than 150 years, producing detailed chronostratigraphic scales based on ammonite zones and biohorizons. The ammonite faunas include Andean lineages, and cosmopolitan, Tethyan, Caribbean, North American, and Indo-Madagascan elements. This paper presents the results of a revision of the zonation of the interval Aalenian-Berriasian. Before presenting the results, this paper emphasizes the distinction between, and the convenient nomenclature for, biozones, zones, standard zones, and biohorizons. The scissum Hz. (new) is introduced in the lower (-most?) Manflasensis Zone (Aalenian). The Rotundum Subzone (new) with base at the cf.-leptus Hz., is introduced for the upper part of the Rotundum Zone (Bajocian). The Gulisanoi Zone (Bathonian) is standardized by designation of the cf.-aspidoides Hz. (new) as its base. The Chacaymelehuensis Zone (new) with base at the “prahecquense” Hz. (new) is introduced for the Callovian. The Cubanensis Zone (Oxfordian) is introduced to replace nominally, or to rename, the inconveniently named “Passendorferia” Zone. The Tarapacaense Zone (Oxfordian) is standardized by designation of the tarapacaense Hz. (new) as its base. The Tithonian Malarguensis Zone (formerly subzone) is here emended and standardized by designation of the malarguensis Hz. as its base; this zone replaces the unviable Mendozanus Zone. The Zitteli Zone is standardized by designation of the widely recorded perlaevis Hz. as its base. The Fascipartita Subzone (Internispinosum Zone) is standardized by designation of the internispinosum-beta Hz. (new) as its base. The Alternans Zone is standardized by designation of the vetustum Hz. as its base, and the Koeneni Zone (uppermost Tithonian) by designation of the striolatus Hz. as its base.

Content available remote The Upper Albian ammonite succession in the Montlaux section, Hautes-Alpes, France
EN
A 100 metre succession of Upper Upper Albian sediments in the Montlaux section (les Gipieres-Champfleury), Alpes-de-Haute Provence, France yielded a series of ammonites that provide unequivocal evidence for a Mortoniceras (Subschloenbachia) rostratum ammonite Zone succeeded by a Mortoniceras (Subschloenbachia) perinflatum ammonite Zone. On this basis, and evidence from successions described previously, the classic Upper Upper Albian Stoliczkaia dispar Zone is replaced by a sequence, from oldest to youngest, of Mortoniceras (Mortoniceras) fallax, Mortoniceras (Subschloenbachia) rostratum, Mortoniceras (Subschloenbachia) perinflatum and Arrhaphoceras (Praeschloenbachia) briacensis Zones.The following species are described: Anagaudryceras sacya (FORBES, 1846), Desmoceras latidorsatum (MICHELIN, 1838), Puzosia (Puzosia) mayoriana (D.ORBIGNY, 1841), Pleurohoplites renauxianus (D.ORBIGNY, 1840), Arrhaphoceras sp., Discohoplites simplex WRIGHT & WRIGHT, 1949, Discohoplites subfalcatus (SEMENOV, 1899), Mortoniceras (Subschloenbachia) rostratum (J.SOWERBY, 1817), Mortoniceras (Subschloenbachia) perinflatum (SPATH, 1922b), Stoliczkaia (Stoliczkaia) dispar (D.ORBIGNY, 1841), Stoliczkaia (Stoliczkaia) clavigera NEUMAYR, 1875, Anisoceras armatum (J.SOWERBY, 1817), Anisoceras perarmatum PICTET & CAMPICHE, 1861, Anisoceras pseudoelegans PICTET & CAMPICHE, 1861, Idiohamites elegantulus SPATH, 1939, Hamites venetzianus PICTET, 1847, Lechites (L.) gaudini (PICTET & CAMPICHE, 1861), Lechites (L.) moreti BREISTROFFER, 1936, Mariella (Mariella) bergeri (BRONGNIART, 1822), Ostlingoceras (Ostlingoceras) puzosianum (D.ORBIGNY, 1842), and Scaphites (Scaphites) sp.

A radiolarian zonal scheme for the entire Jurassic in Japan was proposed by Matsuoka and Yao (1986) on the basis of radiolarian biostratigraphic research on several continuous sections in the Japanese Islands. The zonal scheme was partly modified by applying the results from deep sea cores obtained in the ODP Leg 129 cruise (Matsuoka 1992). The Jurassic zones composed of the Parahsuum simplum Zone (JR1), Trillus elkhornensis Zone (JR2), Laxtorum(?) jurassicum Zone (JR3), Tricolocapsa plicarum Zone (JR4), Tricolocapsa conexa Zone (JR5), Stylocapsa(?) spiralis Zone (JR6), Hsuum maxwelli Zone (JR7), Loopus primitivus Zone (JR8), and Pseudodictyomitra carpatica Zone (KR1), in ascending order, have been established by combining the results from land sections and ODP materials (Matsuoka 1995). The zonation is widely utilized for the dating of marine sequences in Japan and Asian countries. The accumulation of new data in the last decade requires a further revision of the zonation and age assignment. The major modifications are as follows: The Bipedis horiae Zone (JR0) is newly proposed below the Parahsuum simplum Zone (JR1). The base of the Bipedis horiae Zone (JR0) is defined by the first appearance of Bipedis horiae Sugiyama and corresponds roughly to the Triassic (Rhaetian)/Jurassic (Hettangian) boundary. The base of the Parahsuum simplum Zone is dated as Middle Sinemurian. The Tricolocapsa plicarum Zone (JR4), Tricolocapsa conexa Zone (JR5), and Stylocapsa(?) spiralis Zone (JR6) are replaced by Striatojaponicapsa plicarum Zone (JR4), Striatojaponicapsa conexa Zone (JR5), and Kilinora spiralis Zone (JR6), respectively, in accordance to the change of generic assignment of zone-diagnostic species. The base of the Pseudodictyomitra carpatica Zone (KR1) is dated as Early Tithonian based on the occurrence of the zone-diagnostic species from the Lower Tithonian of the Solnhofen area, Germany (Zügel 1995).

The Callovian to Berriasian pelagic carbonates in the Western Fore-Balkan crop out as a part of the Middle Jurassic – Lower Cretaceous peri-platform marine sediments deposited on the northern Tethyan continental margin. This pelagic record consists of marl-limestone alternation (Bov Formation), grey micritic limestones with reddish nodular limestones (Javorets Formation), Ammonitico Rosso type red nodular limestones (Gintsi Formation) and Biancone-type grey micritic regularly bedded limestones (Glozhene Formation) (Sapunov 1976). The total thickness of this succession exceeds 400 m. Rich ammonite faunas recorded from the Bov, Javorets and Gintsi Formations enabled ammonite zonation and age assignment: Macrocephalites spp., Hecticoceras spp. and Kosmoceras spp. zones (Callovian), P. athletoides, C. renggeri, P. (D.) episcopallis, P. (D.) antecedens and G. riazi zones (Oxfordian), H. beckeri zone (Upper Kimmeridgian) and H. hybonotum, S. schwertschlageri and V. rothpletzi zones (Tithonian). The stratigraphic distribution and relative abundance of pelagic microplankton organisms (thin-shelled bivalves, planktonic foraminifers, radiolarians, calcareous dinocysts, pelagic echinoderms and calpionellids) have been used for biostratigraphy and/or recognition of microbiofacies. Within the Oxfordian- Berriasian interval the calcareous dinocyst zones: C. fibrata, C. borzai, C. tithonica, P. malmica, C. tenuis, C. fortis, St. proxima and St. wanneri are recorded. The Middle Tithonian to Berriasian interval is characterized by the successive calpionellid zones: Chitinoidella, Praetintinnopsella, Crassicollaria, Calpionella and Calpionellopsis (Lakova et al. 1999). Five microbiofacies within the pelagic carbonates are superposed: mudstone and wackestone with filaments of pelagic bivalves (Callovian), Globuligerina wackestone and radiolarian wackestone [Oxfordian-Kimmeridgian(?)], Saccocoma wackestones (Kimmeridgian – Lower Tithonian) Globochaete mudstone (Middle Tithonian) and calpionellid mudstone (Upper Tithonian and Berriasian) (Fig. 1). The estimated average rate of sedimentation within the Callovian-Berriasian pelagic succession in the Western Fore-Balkan varying from 9 to 26 mm/10 3 years is characteristic for the transition from relatively condensed to stratigraphically expanded sections in the Upper Jurassic of the Tethyan region. This rate is lower during the Callovian to Kimmeridgian and increased significantly in the Tithonian and Berriasian. Probable explanations are partial carbonate dissolution of the red nodular limestones in the Late Jurassic and the increased bioproductivity of nannoplankton in the Berriasian.

The Kachchh Basin in the extreme west of India has been considered the most prospective region of the Gondwanian Tethyan margin for the development of an independent Jurassic ammonoid zonal framework. In furtherance of our earlier realizations of independent ammonoid zonal schemes in the Kachchh of Callovian, Kimmeridgian and Tithonian stages, we here present the ammonoid zonal formulation in the Kachchh Oxfordian into a succession of 7 zones that is exclusively developed in Perisphinctidae. The older 3 zones (Bernensis Zone, Obliqueplicatum Zone, and Indogermanus Zone) are developed in the Lakhapur section in the distal exposed part of the basin with good density, diversity and frequency of ammonoids. The 4th zone – the Orientalis Zone which includes the 1st order MFS (maximum flooding surface) is the richest in ammonoids of the entire Kachchh Jurassic in the proximal most exposed part of the basin at Kantkote. The younger 3 zones (Subevolutum Zone, Kantkotensis Zone, and Wagurensis Zone) also developed in the Kantkote-Bharodia section in the proximal exposed part are ammonoid scarce in view of their location on the margin along with stratigraphic position above the 1st order MFS. All the Kachchh Oxfordian 7 zones are precisely correlated with the European Tethyan standard on the basis of common or similar Peltoceratinae (Peltoceratoides in Early and Gregoryceras in the Middle Oxfordian), Perisphinchinae (Properisphinctes and Alligaticeras in Early, Perisphinctes and Larcheria in Middle, Dichotomoceras in early Late, and Pseudorthosphinctes, Orthosphinctes and Idoceras in late Late Oxfordian). The geologically interesting and eventful Kachchh Oxfordian includes the 1st order MFS of the Toarcian-Albian sequence in the younger part of the late Middle Oxfordian Orientalis Zone (equivalent of the European Transversarium Zone, Schilli Subzone, Subschilli Horizon), which subdivides the Kachchh Oxfordian into two altogether contrasting sedimentation regimes with markedly revealing litho-biofacies and environmental frameworks. The Early and Middle Oxfordian until the close of Schilli Subzone time is in extremely slow sedimented, condensed to starved, fining, thinning and deepening upward in irregularly based, lensoidal, pebbly/nodular/conglomeratic, hard grounded, mixed carbonate-siliclastic ammonoid rich facies with increase in the share of carbonates and also in the reworking of pebbles/nodules. There is decrease in clastics, also in presence and size of physical structures and energy framework from margin to basin as also upward. Paleontologically, there is increase in the ammonoid density, diversity and frequency, share of European Tethyan elements, also of relatively deeper water sphaeroceratids, phylloceratids, lytoceratids upward and also from margin to the basin. In contrast, from the start of Rotoides Subzone time to near the close of Oxfordian, the ca 280 m thick sedimentary succession present only in the margin in relatively rapidly sedimented, coarsening, thickening and shallowing upward, is scarce to nearly devoid of ammonoids and other macro-invertebrates.

The mechanisms of vegetation zonation were determined in order to provide an advice for restoration of natural saline habitats. Field experiments were conducted to examine the response of mature plants to different edaphic conditions. Three dominant species Salicornia europaea L., Puccinellia distans (L.) Parl. and Elymus repens (L.) Golud, characteristic of distinct zones along the salinity gradient (EC[e] 28.5 - 2.3 m Scm^-1) were studied. Results from a 2-year reciprocal transplant experiment demonstrated that species were restricted to every zone mostly by a salinity level. The obligatory halophyte S. europaea had optimal growth conditions at its home site. This is an opposite result to the one known from inland salt marshes of North America. A distinct growth limitation of transplants was observed in the P. distans and E. repens zones of lower salinity. Fewer individuals and lower above-ground biomass were recorded in the P. distans zone, whereas in the E. repens zone all sedlings died in the second year of observations. The glycophyte E. repens from the less saline site (ca 2.3 mS cm^-1) was strongly inhibited in the most saline S. europaea zone (15.8-28.5 mS cm^-1). Compared to the control transplants in the S. europaea zone it had shorter new shoots, fewer and shorter shoots, lower above-ground biomass and biomass of rhizomes. The P. distans transplants were markedly limited in the E. repens zone of lower salinity. Fewer and shorter new shoots, flowering shoots, lower above-ground biomass and biomass of grasses. roots were noted in the transplants of this zone. Since P. distans was found in non-saline areas outside the investigated meadow this effect could not result from the salinity level but from E. repens interaction. The obtained results suggest that for restoration of natural saline habitats the most important is to keep or rebuild the original salinity level of soils. As the second point the control of strong competitors by cutting or grazing should be considered.

Content available remote Zonation of macrofauna across sandy beaches and surf zones along the Dutch coast
EN
On nine beaches and two transects in the surf zone along the Dutch coast the presence of benthic macrofauna was studied in relation to basic abiotic characteristics. According to Short's classification system, Dutch beaches are mesotidal and dissipative (? = 8.6), and the RTR is low (1.52-1.27), which means that they are not tide-dominated. BSI ranged from 1.4 to 1.1 for the northern and western Dutch coasts respectively and had an overall value of 1.2. The rates of exposure of the beaches varied between 8 and 12, and are therefore regarded as sheltered to moderately exposed. The Dutch beaches display a geographical trend in beach types. Those of the Wadden Sea islands in the northern part of the Netherlands are dissipative, flat, fine-grained, and host high densities of many species of benthic macrofauna. The beaches along the western Dutch coast are less dissipative, steeper, with a higher mean grain size; the species diversity and abundance there are lower. Species diversity and abundance on the beaches increase from the high- to the low-water line. The maximum number of species was found between 0 and -1 m relative to the mean tidal level. The abundance peaks just above the mean tidal level, while the biomass reaches a maximum at the mean tidal level. Species diversity and abundance are low in the surf zone, but increase towards deeper water. Species numbers are high and the abundance is very high in the trough between the two bars. The relation between the diversity and abundance of macrobenthic species on the one hand, and the sediment composition, water column depth, and position between the bars on the other show a clear pattern of zonation for the beach, surf zone and near-shore: (1) a supralittoral zone with insects and air-breathing crustaceans, (2) a midshore zone, with intertidal species, (3) a lower shore zone, whose species extend into the shallow surf zone, and (4) a zone of sublittoral fauna in the trough between the two breaker bars within the surf zone.
