Shilin： The Formation of Stone Forests in Various Rock Types （Lunan, Yunnan, China）

Shilin is among the most interesting form of stone forest to occur in karst landscapes. They develop from karren subsoil, and their shapes, entire forests or just individual pillars and their rock relief, depend on the conditions under which they were formed, their location in the karst landscape, and above all on the characteristics of the rock： its composition, stratification, and fissuring. Because of the exceptional characteristics of this karst phenomenon in China, we propose that the term ＂shilin＂ be used in the professional literature for this type of stone forest.

GIS and ANN coupling model: an innovative approach to evaluate vulnerability of karst water inrush in coalmines of north China

Evaporites, including rock salt (halite) and gypsum (or anhydrite), are the most soluble among common rocks; they dissolve readily to form the same types of karst features that commonly are found in limestones and dolomites. Evaporites are present in 32 of the 48 contiguous states in USA, and they underlie about 40% of the land area. Typical evaporite-karst features observed in outcrops include sinkholes, caves, disappearing streams, and springs, whereas other evidence of active evaporite karst includes surface-collapse structures and saline springs or saline plumes that result from salt dissolution. Many evaporites also contain evidence of paleokarst, such as dissolution breccias, breccia pipes, slumped beds, and collapse structures. All these natural karst phenomena can be sources of engineering or environmental problems. Dangerous sinkholes and caves can form rapidly in evaporite rocks, or pre-existing karst features can be reactivated and open up (collapse) under certain hydrologic conditions or when the land is put to new uses. Many karst features also propagate upward through overlying surficial deposits. Human activities also have caused development of evaporite karst, primarily in salt deposits. Boreholes (petroleum tests or solution-mining operations) or underground mines may enable unsaturated water to flow through or against salt deposits, either intentionally or accidentally, thus allowing development of small to large dissolution cavities. If the dissolution cavity is large enough and shallow enough, successive roof failures can cause land subsidence and/or catastrophic collapse. Evaporite karst, natural and human-induced, is far more prevalent than is commonly believed.     

河北唐山市区岩溶塌陷发育特征及成因机理探析

唐山是我国北方岩溶塌陷地质灾害多发地,1976年唐山大地震以来,岩溶塌陷已发生多起。在分析岩溶发育现状的基础上,描述了该区的岩溶发育特征,进而研究了岩溶塌陷的成因机理。研究认为,采矿活动和过量开采岩溶地下水是造成岩溶塌陷的直接诱因,它直接改变了地下水动力条件,局部形成了水位漏斗;地面建筑物的重力荷载、煤矿透水灾害和地震等将直接导致岩溶塌陷地质灾害的发生。据此提出了较为具体的防治措施。     

岩溶系统中土壤氮肥施用对岩溶碳汇的影响

有资料显示陆地碳酸盐岩风化消耗大气CO2的碳通量与世界森林碳汇通量量级相当。但农业地区过量施用氮肥形成的硝酸对碳酸盐岩的溶解会减弱岩溶碳汇效应,其量可达到7%~38%,而适量施用氮肥在增加农作物产量的同时,能降低土壤C/N比,增加土壤微生物活性,促进有机物料分解,从而提高土壤CO2浓度,提高土下碳酸盐岩的溶解速率。因此,要从两方面分析岩溶系统中土壤氮肥施用对岩溶碳汇效应的影响。同时,岩溶区碳酸盐岩风化形成的土壤具有较高的pH值及盐基饱和度,对H+有较强的缓冲作用,可能是导致自然条件下,河流中溶解无机碳(DIC)与水体中钙、镁等离子并不守恒的原因之一,因此,运用端元法可能过高估算了硝酸对碳酸盐岩的溶解量。岩溶区土壤环境中硝化作用产生的硝酸到底多少能对碳酸盐岩产生溶蚀,并影响到岩溶碳汇效应还有待研究。应结合土壤本身的特性及河流生物地球化学过程,综合研究不同施氮水平、土壤硝化产酸及其影响下的土下碳酸盐岩溶解及碳汇效应过程,客观评价岩溶区土壤氮肥施用对岩溶碳汇的影响,并寻求适宜氮肥施用量及促进岩溶碳循环,提高岩溶碳汇效应的技术方法。      

Karstological study of the new Kunming airport building area (Yunnan, China)

In Kunming area (6.8 mio population), two big interventions are in progress: construction of a new airport, the 23 km² area of which will extend across karst terrain northeast of the city, and extensive uptake of water from karst aquifers for drinking and agricultural use. In the study, an interdisciplinary approach was utilized to demonstrate the need for holistic karstology studies prior to performing extensive interferences in the karst environment. This study included survey of surface karst features and microscopic analyses of rock samples in the area of the new airport location, accompanied by hydrogeological studies and microbiological analyses of two karst drinking water sources in its vicinity (Qinglongdong, Huanglongdong). Results showed the specific characteristics of the subsoil stone forest that indicated a high level of karstification. The direction and characteristics of groundwater flow from the sinking Qiaotou Stream at the margin of the new airport area toward the Huanglongdong Spring were defined with a single tracer test. Additional information about hydrogeological characteristics of the karst aquifer was obtained by individual measurements of physical and chemical parameters of the springs and sinking stream. Selected chemical and bacteriological parameters showed substantial pollution of both springs due to various types of human activities in the catchments. The results of the study pointed to the necessity of taking immediate measures for the springs’ protection and showed the importance of interdisciplinary research when planning anthropogenic activities in the karst.

喀斯特洞穴旅游资源的开发与利用的研究一直是旅游洞穴研究的重点,溶洞旅游资源的合理开发对区域旅游发展有着重要的促进作用。在收集二手资料和实地考察的基础上,本文分析了江西溶洞旅游资源的地理分布和景观特征,探讨了旅游开发模式和相应对策,得出以下研究结论:江西省岩溶洞穴分布在全省9个地级市的28个县（区）,集中分布在赣东北和赣西的山地、丘陵地区。溶洞形态与结构类型丰富,并具有鲜明的特色,洞内景观形态奇特;部分溶洞有悠久的开发历史,具有重要的科学文化价值和历史文化价值。根据溶洞的资源特色、区位、区域经济发展水平等旅游开发主导因素,旅游开发模式可分为独立型、组合型和依托型3种类型;采用主题式开发、科学规划旅游线路、将溶洞观光旅游与科考探险相结合、加大对溶洞旅游的宣传是开发的对策。      

云南石林县域喀斯特洼地空间分布特征及影响因素研究

为深化洼地空间分布及其影响因素的认识,以云南石林县为例,在ArcGIS中基于DEM提取洼地分布及相关数据,并运用K函数（Ripley’s K）、核密度函数、缓冲区、空间叠加等分析方法,探讨了该区洼地密度分布特征及地理环境对其的影响。结果表明:研究区洼地在8 km尺度上为聚集分布模式,可划分为高密度（＞6个?km-2）、中密度（5～6个?km-2）和低密度（＜5个?km-2）三个区域。受多种地理环境因素影响,研究区洼地密度在不同海拔段、坡度、起伏度、地层岩石和断层缓冲区上均有差异性表现;同时,岩层节理、断层方向在一定程度上控制了洼地长轴的发育。研究区潜在水文连通性、面积—高程积分值两个指标与洼地密度呈现良好的一致性,但两个指标所反映的喀斯特洼地的地貌学意义还需进一步研究。

湖南道县铁锰矿区岩溶发育影响因素分析

湖南道县铁锰矿区岩溶发育主要受地层岩性、地形地貌、断裂构造等因素的控制,岩溶形态主要有溶洞、暗河、溶沟、溶槽、漏斗、落水洞和溶蚀洼地等,岩溶非均一性特征明显。在地层岩性上,以矿区CaO含量最高的上泥盆统佘田桥组和锡矿山组下段二至四层白云质灰岩、白云岩与锡矿山组下段第一层泥灰岩、泥质灰岩隔水层交界部位岩溶最为发育,佘田桥组见溶洞260个,占总溶洞数的96.7%。在平面上,岩溶以中部及北部地势平坦的覆盖岩溶区最为发育,见洞率54.8%,其次是岩石裸露的东部及南部低山丘陵区,矿区南部见洞率40.4%。在垂向上,由浅及深岩溶发育由强至弱,标高0~220m钻孔揭露溶洞237个,占溶洞总数的86.5%,-150~0m揭露溶洞28个,占溶洞总数的10.2%,-400m以下无溶洞及溶蚀现象。在地质构造上,断裂及其影响带岩溶较发育,断裂带见溶洞209个,占总见洞数的76.3%,且溶洞充填率较高。      

桂南红层岩溶及其发育控制因素探讨

桂南红层岩溶形态主要表现为岩溶缓丘、地下溶洞、岩溶泉以及地下河、天窗等。在地下50m深度范围,溶洞高0.5～3m,多为无充填溶洞,发育数量随深度增加而减少。岩溶泉类型有上升泉和下降泉,泉水流量变化较大。目前尚未发现仅由红层作为含水层的地下河。桂南红层岩溶的发育程度及形态特征与岩性、构造及水文地质条件有关。红层岩溶主要发育于红层盆地边缘的钙质砾岩中。红层的层组结构可分为单一型和互层型,单一型岩溶发育相对强烈,互层型以岩溶顺层发育为特征。通常,在可溶岩与非可溶岩接触带附近红层溶洞发育;在断裂破碎带以及河谷地带红层岩溶发育强烈,溶洞规模较大。      

Gypsum-karst problems in constructing dams in the USA

Gypsum is a highly soluble rock and is dissolved readily to form caves, sinkholes, disappearing streams, and other karst features that typically are also present in limestones and dolomites. Gypsum karst is widespread in the USA and has caused problems at several sites where dams were built, or where dam construction was considered. Gypsum karst is present (at least locally) in most areas where gypsum crops out, or is less than 30–60 m below the land surface. These karst features can compromise on the ability of a dam to hold water in a reservoir, and can even cause collapse of a dam. Gypsum karst in the abutments or foundation of a dam can allow water to pass through, around, or under a dam, and solution channels can enlarge quickly, once water starts flowing through such a karst system. The common procedure for controlling gypsum karst beneath the dam is a deep cut-off trench, backfilled with impermeable material, or a close-spaced grout curtain that hopefully will fill all cavities. In Oklahoma, the proposed Upper Mangum Dam was abandoned before construction, because of extensive gypsum karst in the abutments and impoundment area. Catastrophic failure of the Quail Creek Dike in southwest Utah in 1989 was due to flow of water through an undetected karstified gypsum unit beneath the earth-fill embankment. The dike was rebuilt, at a cost of US $12 million, with construction of a cut-off trench 600 m long and 25 m deep. Other dams in the USA with severe gypsum-karst leakage problems in recent years are Horsetooth and Carter Lake Dams, in Colorado, and Anchor Dam, in Wyoming.     

湘西地质公园岩溶峡谷群成因及其地学意义

Speleogenesis in aeolian calcarenite: A case study in western Victoria

Most studies of karst landscapes and their processes have been concerned with consolidated, often well-jointed limestones. There are particular problems involved in the study of karst procesess in softer, less-compact limestones such as chalk, coral reefs, and aeolian calcarenite. Previous studies in aeolian calcarenite indicated these problems and a scheme was developed of speleogenesis in aeolian calcarenite. A study of karst processes in aeolian calcarenite at Bats Ridge in western Victoria has developed this scheme further. The karst features and processes at Bats Ridge are an integral part of the landscape of a mid-Pleistocene calcarenite dune system. The resolution of problems of the rapid subaerial speleogenesis in the area is achieved by the synthesis of the known karst features of the ridge and the geology and geomorphology of the area. Karst development on this aeolianite ridge depends on lithological conditions as well as the availability of aggressive water capable of solution. The diagenesis of the calcarenite is occurring now and must have been occurring by the mid-Pleistocene. This simultaneous lithification of the carbonate dunes into aeolian calcarenite rock and the development of solutional karst features in the dunes is the characteristic feature of the speleogenesis in this area. It is the formation of a hardened kankar layer (cap rock) in the dunes of sufficient compressive and tensile strength to support cavities, which is the result of these interrelated factors, that has strongly determined the formation of the karst features.     

岩溶塌陷型水库地震的形成条件分析

岩溶地区隐伏溶洞顶板稳定性及变形分析

溶洞顶板以及溶洞本身的变形是评价含隐伏溶洞岩溶地基稳定性最为直观的技术指标,在岩土自重和桩基的外附荷载作用下,确定桥基隐伏溶洞顶板安全厚度为8.0 m能够满足稳定性要求,突破了设计规范中对溶洞厚跨比必须大于0.8的要求。利用有限元计算,预测了桥基下溶洞及顶板的变形规律,采用钻孔多点位移计实现了在施工荷载施加过程中对溶洞及顶板岩体的变形的实时监测,有效验证了数值计算结果的合理性。监测结果表明：溶洞顶板不同岩层及溶洞本身的变形在荷载施加初期发展较快,相同施工荷载作用下洞体本身的应变最大,而顶板表层的应变又高于洞体上部岩层应变。     

贵州乌江南源上游流域不同岩溶地貌单元的流量衰减分析

选取云南高原向贵州高原过渡地带上的乌江南源——贵州省三岔河上游流域作为研究对象，分别提取其流域内的花渔洞地下河流域与三塘地下河流域的地形指标，分析两者的流量衰减现状，并探讨了岩溶地表形态和岩溶含水介质结构之间的关系。结果显示:（1）花渔洞地下河流域的平均起伏度为73.2 m，可分为高起伏度的Ⅰ区（均值122 m）和低起伏度的Ⅱ区（均值64 m）两个区，其分别占整个流域面积的14.9%和85.1%；三塘地下河流域的平均起伏度为87.6 m，可分为高起伏度的Ⅰ区（均值106 m）、中起伏度的Ⅱ区（均值81 m）和低起伏度的Ⅲ区（均值48 m）三个区，其分别占流域面积的40.2%，49.7%和10.1%；（2）花渔洞地下河流域各阶段的衰减系数为0.000 3，0.000 1，0.000 06（0.5 h）-1，总蓄水量达2 199.356×104 m3，各亚动态蓄水量分别占总蓄水量的0.1%，9.9%、90.0%；三塘地下河流域各阶段的衰减系数为0.001、0.000 3、0.000 1（0.5 h）-1，总蓄水量为2 310.902×104 m3，各亚动态蓄水量分别占总蓄水量的9.4%、30.8%、59.8%。这表明地面起伏度和衰减动态之间可能存在着关联性，即高起伏度对应岩溶发育强烈的管道流，低起伏度对应导水通道较小的裂隙、溶隙等含水层。      

滨海岩溶地区海咸水入侵动力学系统研究

我国滨海岩溶地区岩溶系统的形成具有其独特的动力学过程。其中，既有自然环境条件下形成的岩溶特征，又有人类活动的地质效应——海咸水入侵的影响和改造。目前，海咸水入侵对滨海岩溶系统的影响和改造正在加剧，并将逐渐成为主导因素。防治滨海岩溶区海咸水入侵的根本，就是要查明咸-淡水过渡带中碳酸盐岩溶解、沉淀的动力机制。其中，混合溶蚀作用是关键。开展咸-淡水过渡带碳酸盐岩溶解、沉淀动力学的野外现场定位观测和室内动态模拟实验研究，并在查明咸-淡水过渡带碳酸盐岩溶解、沉淀动力机理的基础上，建立滨海岩溶地区碳酸盐岩溶解、沉淀系统动力学模型是十分必要和迫切的。研究各种因素综合影响下，滨海碳酸盐岩的混合溶蚀作用，将有利于查明滨海岩溶形成机理，进而为解决滨海岩溶地区海咸水入侵问题开辟一条新的途径。     

云南石林喀斯特露石径流输出及其影响因素探究

喀斯特露石具有重要的生态功能,但关于露石承接降水后的石面径流及其影响因子研究仍然很少.本实验选择云南石林的石漠化、人工林、原生林生态系统,布设露石径流收集装置,收集并测量不同降雨事件后的露石石面径流,测定露石承接降水面积和粗糙度.结果表明:(1)在3.92 mm到72.31 mm的降雨范围内,露石承接降雨量与露石径流量间存在极显著的正相关关系.(2)降雨量,林冠覆盖,露石粗糙度均影响露石径流输出.降雨量与露石径流深成显著正相关关系;石漠化生态系统的露石承接降雨量和露石径流输出显著高于两类林地;露石径流输出随露石粗糙度的增加而减小,两者间存在显著的负相关关系.(3)石漠化生态系统的降雨-露石径流转换系数为0.483,显著高于人工林生态系统的0.434和原生林生态系统的0.413,但两类林地的差异性仅在降雨量为小雨时显著.多因素影响下的喀斯特露石径流具有高度异质性,其将对土壤水分、养分异质性与生物多样性的形成产生重要影响.     

贵州关岭县喀斯特峰丛石漠区苔藓群落生态特征

为了了解喀斯特峰丛石漠化区苔藓植物的种类和群落特征,本文选取贵州省安顺市关岭县喀斯特峰丛石漠化区的三种典型生境（裸地、人工植被和自然植被）,对苔藓植物进行样地调查,并利用种间相遇几率（PIE）、生态优势度、Shaanon-Wiener信息指数(衡量生态位宽度)和Morisita-Horn指数(衡量生态位重叠)来分析该区苔藓植物群落的组成、分布规律及生态特征。结果表明:（1）该区苔藓植物共有11科17属22种,真藓科为优势科,苔藓植物群落有19个类型。（2）苔藓群落PIE值与植被覆盖度呈正比,与岩石裸露率呈反比,自然植被生境的苔藓群落PIE值高于人工植被和裸地生境,但研究区苔藓群落PIE总体偏低,反映了喀斯特峰丛地区恶劣的生境条件。（3）研究区内卷叶湿地藓群落(Hyophiletum)、直蒴卷柏藓群落(Racopietum)和皱叶牛舌藓群落(Anomodetum)有着较高的生态优势度和生态位宽度,并且与其它苔藓群落的生态位重叠值很高。表明这三种苔藓群落对不同类型的峰丛石漠化生境都有着较好的适应能力,能够很好地与其它苔藓群落互利共生。
