土壤风蚀过程研究回顾与展望

土壤风蚀过程包含风蚀动力过程和风蚀因子及风蚀速率在风蚀过程中的动态变化过程。前者实验和理论研究成果丰富,较清晰地刻画了颗粒起动、搬运和沉降过程;后者重点研究风蚀过程中各类风蚀因子的动态变化规律及其互馈机制,以及土壤风蚀速率对风蚀因子动态变化的响应机制,尚缺乏系统的研究成果。土壤风蚀过程研究的难点在于:(1)风蚀因子的动力学参数化;(2)风蚀因子动态变化过程的观测和定量表达;(3)风蚀过程的尺度问题;(4)模型的预报能力。现阶段土壤风蚀研究迫切需要开展以下工作:建立标准风蚀观测场,获取连续、完整的大田风蚀资料;研究风沙流饱和路径,解决尺度问题;构建具有扎实理论基础、基于动力过程和动态变化过程的风蚀模型。     

土壤风蚀模型中的影响因子分类与表达

土壤风蚀是包括风、植被、土壤特性、土地利用方式、降水、微地形等多要素交互作用,发生在特定地理空间,具有独特的气流—土壤界面相互作用机制的连续动力学过程。基于统计学理论的土壤风蚀经验模型,不仅难以避免子模型之间有多个风蚀影响要素的交叉出现,使子模型之间不能严格地相互独立,导致建模理论基础存在不足,而且不能客观反映土壤风蚀的动力学过程。在厘清土壤风蚀基本概念,分析国际土壤风蚀影响因子和土壤风蚀模型研究历史与存在不足的基础上,提出一个新的基于风蚀动力学理论的土壤风蚀模型理论框架,以及在此模型框架下土壤风蚀影响因子的分类与表达。阐述了该模型框架和影响因子分类与表达的合理性,并对土壤风蚀影响因子分类与表达的研究途径进行了探讨。     

末次间冰期以来源自中亚的粉尘记录的对比

中亚干旱区是全球重要的粉尘源区, 粉尘经过不同的大气环流系统的搬运和具体的沉积条件, 在其传输路径上沉积于不同的介质中, 如冰芯、黄土、湖泊和深海. 在前人所做工作的基础上, 以古里雅冰芯、宝鸡黄土剖面、琵琶湖风尘沉积、北太平洋风尘沉积和格陵兰冰芯等记录进行对比, 初步讨论近130 ka BP以来上述记录所反映的中亚粉尘的产生、搬运和沉积. 这些记录既表现出一致性, 也存在某些差异, 显示了搬运过程、沉积过程以及区域性因素对粉尘记录的影响.     

中国北方沙漠-黄土体系的沉积和侵蚀过程与未来趋向探析

中国北方有大面积的土地被沙漠和黄土覆盖,是现代沉积和侵蚀比较活跃的地区。强烈的地表过程不仅影响着区域的生产生活活动,还通过粉尘传输影响北半球甚至于更大范围的气候和环境。长期以来,由于综合研究不够,对沙漠-黄土体系的沉积和侵蚀规律以及未来趋向的认识有限。结合对沙漠沙地-黄土沉积的高密度光释光年代测试结果,基于地统计法和遥感分析的黄土堆积量估算以及现代降尘、地表侵蚀的观察研究,认为沙漠沙地-黄土堆积区的沉积和侵蚀过程受气候变化控制,这里既是堆积区,又是侵蚀区,处于动态变化过程中;黄土比沙地沉积保存着更完整的过去气候变化信息。黄土高原水蚀和风蚀在地质历史时期就存在,人类活动加强了侵蚀过程,但可能还没有实质性地改变这一趋向。通过对地质记录和古气候模拟结果的分析,在未来全球变暖的背景下,沙地地区可能由于有效湿度减少变干而使风尘活动加强,黄土高原地区的粉尘沉积速率也将随之加快。     

全新世时期北京-张家口地区与黄土高原地区风成系统的差异

近年来,中国北方的沙尘暴对北京地区的影响越来越受到人们的重视,从地质记录上分析研究北京—张家口地区沙尘暴的粉尘来源对确定重点治理区、改善北京地区的大气环境质量具有积极意义。黄土是地质时期沙尘暴形成的风成沉积物,其粒径分布蕴含了粉尘搬运过程中的大气环境信息,本文利用黄土-古土壤沉积的粒径分布特征,分析了北京—张家口地区和黄土高原地区风成系统的差异,并根据粉尘动力学原理,结合遥感信息揭示的地面风蚀痕迹,探讨了北京—张家口地区黄土粉尘的主要来源,指出北京—张家口地区和黄土高原地区分属不同的风成系统,有不同的粉尘源区和不同的大气动力条件。北京—张家口地区大气动力强度大,粉尘源区近,粉尘主要来自阴山以北的内蒙古苏尼特右旗—二连浩特方向,与浑善达克沙地关系不大,也与黄土高原地区主要粉尘物源区不同     

亚洲粉尘的源区分布、释放、输送、沉降与黄土堆积

根据亚洲粉尘关键区域(中国沙漠、黄土高原、青藏高原和中国历史降尘区)大气气溶胶中15～28种元素的浓度-粒度分布、沉降速率和通量分析,以及元素示踪系统的进一步解析,发现中国北方沙漠存在两个粉尘地-气交换较活跃区域,即中国西部沙漠和北部沙漠高粉尘区,且证明这两个区域及其邻区是亚洲粉尘和黄土高原黄土主要源区的中心区域;通过对5个亚太区域粉尘沉降量的模式估算,得出亚洲粉尘释放总量每年约为800Tg,约相当于全球沙漠排放总量的一半;粉尘与黄土的对比表明,亚洲粉尘区域尺度输送受季风环流控制,但间冰期时并不取决于尘暴过程,而全球尺度输送主要由高空西风完成,无论冰期、间冰期均受尘暴过程控制;粉尘通量的结果表明干沉降是粉尘在黄土区沉降的主要过程,且晚第四纪粉尘沉积的再改造份额不超过其沉积总量的10%;元素示踪系统应用于风成黄土,发现在间冰期北部沙漠源区输出的粉尘量增加,而在冰期西部源区输出的粉尘量增加.这种晚第四纪亚洲粉尘“源区摆动”的快速变化其实是全球千年尺度气候变化的一环,并可视为过去北半球大气环流长期变化的代用序列.

新疆艾比湖地区盐尘的沉积通量及其物质组成

以新疆准噶尔盆地西部的艾比湖地区为研究区,通过野外降尘监测、采样分析等方法,研究了艾比湖地区含盐粉尘的沉积通量和物质组成特征.结果表明:艾比湖干涸湖底是盐尘的输出源,盐尘的化学组成主要是无水芒硝、白钠镁矾、氯化钠等盐碱粉尘及Cr、Pb、Mn、Cu、Ni等潜在毒性元素.艾比湖地区盐尘的沉积通量约为79~381 g·m-2·a-1,盐的沉积通量约为4~61 g·m-2·a-1.盐尘的粒径分布以2~63μm的粉砂粒级为主,大于63μm的砂粒级所占比例很小.特殊的地形条件、大风天气、稀疏的植被覆盖、疏松的大面积尘源是艾比湖湖底风蚀和盐尘输送的有利条件.     

近4万年来雷州半岛北部地区汞沉积及其影响机制

雷州半岛地处热带北缘,受东亚季风影响强烈。以取自雷州半岛北部下录地区的埋藏泥炭沉积作为研究材料,测试分析了该岩心的汞浓度及其分布情况,将测试结果与其他气候环境代用指标如孢粉、炭屑、烧失量（LOI）以及有机碳同位素（δ13C_org）等进行对比分析,讨论自MIS（Marine Isotope Stages）-3晚期（约40 cal ka B.P.）至全新世早期（约6.9 cal ka B.P.）区域气候与环境变化影响下的汞沉积过程及可能的影响机制。结果显示:近4万年以来,沉积物的汞浓度与乔木类孢粉浓度的变化较吻合,两者之间显示出较高的相关性,揭示了晚更新世晚期以来,森林群落作为重要的地表汞库,在地区汞沉积过程中起到固定、储存和传输作用。此外,汞浓度与岩心中炭屑沉积通量（指示了区域性野火发生状况）的变化存在相反趋势,反映了区域性野火活动对地表植被以及土壤有机质的焚毁破坏,造成地表汞向大气的释放,不利于汞在地表和沉积物中的沉积与保存。对比不同区域的汞沉积记录发现,晚更新世晚期以来,下录泥炭汞浓度记录与全球其他地区汞记录、粉尘记录等具有较高的相似度,特别是MIS-2时期均存在明显峰值,反映了全球气候变化影响下,大气粉尘沉降对地表汞的输送和沉积具有较大贡献。

Progress on Process and Mechanism of Sand and Dust Emission on Gobi

Gobi is one of the most important landscapes in northwest China, and it is also one of the dust sources in north China and even in central Asia. Based on the different land surface characteristics on the gobi surface, sand and dust emission process and mechanism are obviously different with other landscapes, such as sandy desert. Dust emission process and mechanism on the gobi surface were analyzed in this paper. Wind power system, geomorphology pattern and underlying characteristics were considered for their effect on the sand and dust emission process. Then, the mechanism of land surface characteristics on threshold wind velocity was analyzed. Finally, based on the previous studies on dust emission and mechanism, and in combination with the regional and global requirement, we suggested that the land surface characteristics parameterization, identification of the dust sources and sediment emission mechanism should be the main issues in the future gobi sand and dust research.     

基于GRAPES的西北地区沙尘暴数值预报模式及其应用研究

介绍了中国气象局兰州干旱气象研究所和中国气象科学研究院数值预报研究中心合作研制的耦合于GRAPES（Global/Regional Assimilation and Prediction Enhanced System）的沙尘暴数值模式GRAPES_SDM。该模式包括沙尘的起沙、传输、吸湿增长、并合、干沉降与云下清洗等详细的物理过程，可以对沙尘暴的起沙和空气中沙尘浓度进行模拟和预报。在此基础上形成了西北地区的沙尘暴数值预报模式系统，并于2005年4月开始在兰州中心气象台试运行，同时还将模式结果与卫星遥感资料反演的沙尘暴监测结果进行了对比验证。以2005年4月17~19日和5月28~29日发生在西北地区的2次强沙尘暴为例，利用GRAPES_SDM对这两次沙尘天气的起沙、传输、扩散直至消散进行了数值模拟。结果表明，模式输出的沙尘时空分布与实况观测和卫星云图监测的沙尘分布范围基本一致，说明该模式系统对西北地区沙尘暴天气的起沙、传输有较好的模拟和预报能力。     

A wind tunnel simulation and field verification of desert dust deposition (Avdat Experimental Station, Negev Desert)

The deposition of natural dust in an area of 53 ha, situated in the northern Negev desert, is investigated in detail both in the wind tunnel (dust storm simulations over a topographic scale model) and in the field. The wind tunnel results and the field results show a high degree of agreement, indicating that scale-model simulation may be considered an important technique for future loess and desert research. More dust settles on windward slopes than on leeward slopes, which is in contradistinction with the widespread wind shadow concept. Air-flow separation zones immediately downwind of steep windward slopes have an important impact on dust deposition too. In the case of dust deposition on topographic scale models, a restricted height distortion of the model will not necessarily lead to serious problems. In addition, wind tunnel blockage percentages up to 13% may be allowed in order to obtain acceptable dust deposition patterns for the scale model. A mean gross dust deposition of about 200–250 g m^?2 year^?1 is calculated for the northern Negev desert for 1987. Thus, if the settled dust can be protected against erosion in the cultivated areas in the Negev, the dust content of the top soil will markedly increase with time. However, it has to be borne in mind that cultivation activities themselves may also contribute to a higher soil erosion and, hence, to a higher dust content in the atmosphere. At any rate, a higher dust content in the top soil will unquestionably have an important positive effect on agricultural yields. From the air dust concentration data and the dust deposition data, a deposition velocity of 4.7cms^?1 can be calculated for Avdat dust.     

Modeling the mineral dust aerosol cycle in the climate system

Soil dust aerosol is an important factor of the climatic system. In order to evaluate the different aspects of the climatic effects of dust, estimates of its highly variable atmospheric distribution need to be computed by transport models. Such models also provide important means of evaluating the processes that govern changes in dustiness during different climatic periods. While models of the modern dust cycle are currently capable of simulating first-order patterns of its global distribution, the parameterization of dust emission in these models is still crude, since input information about soil properties and wind events cannot be resolved at a global scale. Regional models could be useful for evaluating emission parameterizations, as well as dust transport and depositional processes close to source regions. No single existing data set fully describes all aspects of the dust cycle. Validation of modeled dust distributions must therefore include comparisons with different types of observational data. While the compilation of such observational data sets is crucial for model development, model results can, in turn, provide guidance for new measurements of dust properties, which will be useful for future investigation of the dust cycle and its climatic effects.     

Geochemical,mineralogical and magnetic characteristics of vertical dust deposition in urban environment

Studies on composition and distribution of dust deposition are necessary for the risk assessment of dust to atmospheric quality. We studied the vertical distribution pattern of dust and metal (Cu, Fe, Pb, Zn) deposition up to 33 m height in urban environment. Integrated geochemical, mineralogical and magnetic study of the seasonally sampled dust helped to specify our knowledge on the use of magnetic susceptibility for tracking its deposition. Harmful dust and metal deposition may occur even at great heights and at the low-traffic side of buildings. Re-suspension of local surface materials dominates the dust deposition primarily in summer and spring due to weather conditions, and it may overwrite the influence of recent anthropogenic activities on dust composition. The accepted air-flow models should be modified by taking the local conditions (weather, morphology, etc.) into account. All studied metals showed strong enrichment in the dust and could be characterized by similar vertical deposition pattern to dust. The total susceptibility was found to be much more useful proxy for tracking dust and metal deposition than mass-specific susceptibility. Using the former, potential errors arising from sampling practice of settled dust could be eliminated. The most important heavy-metal-bearing phases were iron oxides and clay minerals. Their different behavior during the dust deposition is reflected by the vertical metal distribution patterns. Clay minerals originate primarily from re-suspension and may be one of the most important sources of potentially mobile heavy metals in such materials.     

中国月尘探测进展及后续展望

月球尘埃研究具有重要的科学和工程价值。目前对月球尘埃运动规律、运动机理等的了解非常有限,对尘埃运动物理参数缺少系统的定量测量,严重制约了月球尘埃的科学研究。阿波罗17号宇航员观察到的月尘扬起及其物理机制迄今为止在科学上仍然是一个谜。中国的嫦娥三号月球探测任务得到了月面上的尘埃沉积数据及尘埃活动高度数据,表明尘埃活动具有显著的地域差异。在嫦娥五号采样返回任务中将研究月尘带电方面的物理特性。探月后续任务中如果能够在高纬度地区首次系统地定量测量月尘运动的物理参数,将会揭示不同经纬度区域、不同太阳光照条件、不同太阳风条件、不同地形条件下的尘埃活动规律及其关键影响因素,对高精度数值模型的建立及其参数选择提供定量限制,必将取得新的重要科学发现。     

Application of Uranium Isotope Chronology for Partical Comminution in the Eolian Dust System

The wind dust system is an important part of the terrestrial surface system and plays an important role in many key belts. The mechanism of wind dust and the handling process are important to understand the environmental function of wind dust and to interpret the paleoclimate record. In the past, traditional geochemical methods can only reflect the rock composition or age in the final denudation zone, and it is not possible to distinguish the different silt mechanism and the intermediate process under the same eventual source background, which is one of the biggest challenges of the present research. The ²³⁴U/²³⁸U ratio of fine matter caused by alpha decay recoil reflects the time experienced by the particle since it was broken and may be able to effectively trace the mechanism of wind dust generation and the transport of the intermediate process, but the age of uranium isotope fragmentation is rarely used in the wind dust system. The complicated factors restricting the wide application of uranium isotope were summarized, and according to the latest research progress, the verification and development of the uranium isotope comminution age in the wind dust system, and the problem solution of the mechanism of wind dust production and the way of transporting were discussed.     

亚洲沙尘的远距离输送及对海洋生态系统的影响

亚洲沙尘是全球沙尘的重要组成部分,其环境效应已得到广泛关注,但至今对亚洲沙尘输送/沉降—海洋生态系统响应—辐射活性气体海气交换—间接气候效应这一过程的认识却是非常初步的。亚洲沙尘存在3个主要源区,对其排放强度的认识仍存在较大的不确定性。亚洲沙尘可以通过长距离输送而影响到广大的北太平洋,其传输路径和影响范围决定于沙尘的来源、粒子谱分布与大气环流特征等因素。沙尘沉降是海洋营养物质和污染物质的来源之一,但沉降通量的估算结果仍有待进一步验证,而对海洋生态系统的作用机制及其反馈还缺乏足够的了解。论文在综述国内外相关研究的基础上,提出了“亚洲沙尘与海洋生态系统”（Asian Dust and Ocean EcoSystem,ADOES）研究计划的科学目标和主要研究内容。     

Coal-derived rates of atmospheric dust deposition during the Permian

Despite widespread evidence for atmospheric dust deposition prior to the Quaternary, quantitative rate data remains sparse. As dust influences both climate and biological productivity, the absence of quantitative dust data limits the comprehensiveness of models of pre-Quaternary climate and biogeochemical cycles. Here, we propose that inorganic matter contained in coal primarily records atmospheric dust deposition. To test this, we use the average concentration of inorganic matter in Permian coal to map global patterns and deposition rates of atmospheric dust over Pangea. The dust accumulation rate is calculated assuming Permian peat carbon accumulation rates in temperate climates were similar to Holocene rates and accounting for the loss of carbon during coalification. Coal-derived rates vary from 0.02 to 25 g m^− 2 year^− 1, values that fall within the present-day global range. A well-constrained East–West pattern of dust deposition corresponding to expected palaeoclimate gradients extends across Gondwana with maximum dust deposition rates occurring close to arid regions. A similar pattern is partially defined over the northern hemisphere. Patterns are consistent with the presence of two large global dust plumes centred on the tropics. The spatial patterns of dust deposition were also compared to dust cycle simulations for the Permian made with the Community Climate System Model version 3 (CCSM3). Key differences between the simulations and the coal data are the lack of evidence for an Antarctic dust source, higher than expected dust deposition over N and S China and greater dust deposition rates over Western Gondwana. This new coal-based dust accumulation rate data expands the pre-Neogene quantitative record of atmospheric dust and can help to inform and validate models of global circulation and biogeochemical cycles over the past 350 Myr.
