黄淮海平面原沙地不同治理利用措施下土壤性质的差异

延津站经过７－８ａ改造后,试区的０农业用地,果园地用,封育沙垄地较试区未封育裸露沙垄地,粉粒含量增加９－１６．６４倍,物理性粘粒含量增加１．１７－３．６７倍,土壤有机质含量增加８．４－１２．６倍,全Ｎ含量增加３．６－５．２５倍,全Ｐ含量增加１．５２－２．１９倍。     

贡嘎山区主要植物群落分布与气候的关系

选取贡嘎山区３５种主要植物群落，对它们的垂直分布与水分、温度条件进行了分析。结果表明，贡嘎山区水分条件较好，温度条件是植物群落垂直分布的限制因子，亚高山针叶林，针叶阔叶混交林，常绿阔叶林的分布上限，其温暖指数，生物学温度分别为８－１２１，４０，６０－６８（℃·月）和３．０－３．５，６．５－７．０，９．０－１０．０（℃）。     

河西走廊平原区全新世河流阶地对气候变化的响应

河西走廓的古洋河，黑河，北大河和疏勒不可在平原发育了两级阶地，根据＾１４Ｃ测年数据，低阶地形成于５．５７－３．１５ｋａＢ．Ｐ．，高阶地形成于１１－８ｋｇＢ．Ｐ．，在８－６ｋａＢ．Ｐ．之间为河流下切期。     

临夏盆地晚中新世以来的风沙沉积及环境意义

对临夏盆地１５Ｍａ以来地层中的石英砂所作的扫描电镜分析表明,风成砂一直存在,并在８Ｍａ和６～５Ｍａ时含量最高。最大颗粒的平均粒径在（１．５～３．６）／２．６Ｍａ达０．４ｍｍ,３．６～２．６Ｍａ之后显著下降。前者表明３．６～２．６Ｍａ以前,近源风沙作用一直存在,并在８Ｍａ和６～５Ｍａ达到最盛;后者表明第四纪以来,远源风沙沉积盛行,可能反映了青藏高原在３．６～２．６Ｍａ急剧隆丐和与之相关的大气环流的发     

萃取分光光度法测定矿石中的微量金

采用醋酸丁酯萃取矿样中的微量金,结晶紫显色,分光光度法测定,ＰＨ１．８－２．５。紫色有机相的最大吸收波长为５９６ｎｍ,表观摩尔吸光系数为９．３＊１０＾３Ｌｍｏｌ＾－１．ｃｍ＾１,Ａｕ的质量浓度在０．１０－５．００μｇ／ｍｌ范围内符合比耳定律,样品中Ａｕ的含量０．４μｇ／ｍｌ时的方法精密度为４．００％,加标回收率为９３－１１０％。     

1988／1989年夏季南极长城海湾生态环境观测

自１９８８年１１月至１９８９年３月，对南极长城湾（６２°１３′Ｓ，５８°５７′Ｗ）中５个站位的水温、ｐＨ值、海水透明度、水下照度、水中和海冰中叶绿素含量、磷酸盐含量、亚硝酸盐和硝酸盐含量等理化要素，每月进行１至２次不定期的常规测定。在整个调查期间，海水温度变化范围在－１．６～２．２°Ｃ之间，ｐＨ值变化范围在８．０～９．１之间，海水中叶绿素ａ的变化范围在０．３０～１．４８ｍｇ／ｍ３之间，叶绿素ａ的最大值出现在１１月２６日５号站的表层水中，海冰中叶绿素ａ的含量远远高于海水中的含量，海冰中叶绿素ａ的变化范围在２．５５～５６．８４ｍｇ／ｍ３之间。磷酸盐含量变化范围在１．０２３～２．１８７μｇＰ／Ｌ，亚硝酸盐含量变化范围在０．０９３～０．１８６μｇＮ／Ｌ之间，硝酸盐含量变化范围在１３．３０８～２６．５８４μｇＮ／Ｌ之间。本文对以上结果作了初步探讨     

三元体系RECl3（RE=Dy,Yb）—HOAc—H2O（30℃）的研究

测定了三元体系ＲＥＣｌ３（ＲＥ＝Ｄｙ，Ｙｂ）－ＨＯＡｃ－Ｈ２Ｏ（３０℃）的平衡态的溶度数据并绘制了相应的溶度图。在两个体系中分别得到了ＤｙＣｌ３．６Ｈ２Ｏ和ＹｂＣｌ３．６Ｈ２Ｏ两种固相。依据ＨＯＡｃ和ＤｙＣｌ３．６Ｈ２Ｏ和ＹｂＣｌ３．６Ｈ２Ｏ有盐析作用这一结论得到了一种制备ＤｙＣｌ３．６Ｈ２Ｏ和ＹｂＣｌ３．６Ｈ２Ｏ的ＨＣｌ－ＨＯＡｃ法。同时， 在分析测定酸的重百分浓度时，利用“差减法”得到了Ｈ的准     

海岸沙丘沙运动特征若干问题的研究

在海岸带，沙粒粒径和水分含量是决定沙粒起动风速的最主要因素。闽江口南岸海滩沙的平均粒径为２．０Φ，水分含量多在０．３％－１．０％之间。运用Ｊｏｈｎｓｏｎ的经验公式，可计算出海滩沙的起动风速为６－７ｍ／ｓ。这一结果与实际观测值十分吻合。     

南极洲乔治王岛柯林斯冰帽冰芯层位和密度变化的一般特征

柯林斯冰帽两支冰芯层位记录证实了该冰帽主冰穹顶部（海拔约７００ｍ）属暖渗浸带，小冰穹顶部（海拔约２５０ｍ）属渗浸带。雪、冰的层位分布和密度变化包含了一定的测年信息。主冰穹顶冰芯密度－深度曲线在表层呈现韵律性变化，与层位记录中的融化冻结现象相对应，据此粗略划分年层，断定当地年积累雪层厚度为３－３．５ｍ，折合水当量１６５０－１９２５ｋｇ／ｍ２ａ，年平均积累速率约为２．０ｍ／ａ（冰当量）。主冰穹顶成冰深度为３８－３９ｍ，此深度以上密度自上而下缓慢增加，但以下由于含水层的出现，密度迅速升高，在５－６ｍ区间达到９００ｋｇ／ｍ３。小冰穹冰芯除表层外，密度基本在８００－９００ｋｇ／ｍ３之间，冰芯中雪冰互层，存在污化面，４０ｍ以下发现很厚的火山灰沉积物。小冰穹平均年积累率约为０．７ｍ／ａ（冰当量），成冰深度７－８ｍ，成冰年限为１０年左右     

祁连山东段北麓近10ka来的气候变化初步研究

磁化率、碳酸钙含量和有机碳含量可用作良好的气候指标,主要是反映了降水量的变化。祁连山东段北麓哈溪剖面研究表明,９５６０ａＢ．Ｐ．时本区已进入全新世。大暖期是对温度而言,与气候适宜期是不同的概念,二者在时间上也不一定是同时的。本区的气候适宜期为６．８～３．６ｋａＢ．Ｐ．,气候最宜期为５．０～３．６ｋａＢ．Ｐ．,与其它记录有不同之处。在７．８～７．２ｋａＢ．Ｐ．和１．５～０．８ｋａＢ．Ｐ．间出现了“冷湿”的气候组合,这与传统的气候组合不同,但后一阶段的“冷湿”是有大量证据的。９．０～８．７ｋａＢ．Ｐ．间是全新世最干旱的时段,堆积了砂黄土。

Deserts and Aeolian Desertification in China: Book review and some thoughts

Desertification is a global phenomenon that affects about two billion people. It occurs in arid zones where the annual precipitation is below 400 mm, partic- ularly in the marginal areas of the world＇s largest deserts. It is a result of water and wind erosion, over- grazing, global warm-ing, improper soil cultivation, and increased pressure ot population growth, and it causes degradation of soil and natural and agricultural vegetation. The direct result is less food for people and livestock, which influences pop- ulation and animal husbandry fluctuations. Despite ef- forts to combat and reduce desertification, the affected areas are annually increasing.

THE MOST PERFECT EXAMPLE OF AN ALIEN ECOLOGY EVER CONSTRUCTED

Much science-fiction literature is based upon the creation and exploration of alternative environments. Stanley G. Weinbaum's short story, “Parasite Planet,”introduces an unusual environment that may be wrong in the light of recent evidence on Venus but still stimulates the geographical imagination.
