The magnetic field structure reflected in the safety factor (q) profile can play an important role in defining some of the basic structures of the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence: it plays a role in the generation of spatial structures in the initial nonlinear phase, and it gives a radial dependence to the spectral average of the square of the poloidal mode number, {l angle}m{sup 2}{r angle}{sup 1/2}, that can modify the explicit dependences of an analytically derived expression for turbulence-induced anomalous losses. 12 refs., 4 figs.
