风力侵蚀对无定河流域产沙作用定量分析

本文利用无定河的水文泥沙观测日值资料和该流域内及周围气象站气象观测月值资料,通过流域的水沙关系与各年风蚀气候因子,估计了风力作用对无定河流域产沙的贡献量。结果揭示出:在风沙区,由于水力的搬运作用仍然决定了流域输沙量的大小,所以风力作用产生的输沙模数很小,在总输沙量中只占约1/4;风力作用增加输沙量比例最大的地区是穿过风沙区和丘陵沟壑区交界区,既有活跃的风沙活动又有强烈的黄土水蚀,风力和水力形成强耦合侵蚀搬运作用的干流上游,占输沙量的1/3以上;位于靠近风沙区并有片沙分布的黄土丘陵沟壑区的流域,风蚀产沙占流域输沙量的比例约为1/10;在黄土丘陵沟壑区,相对强烈的水力侵蚀,风力作用对产沙影响较小。整个无定河流域风力作用产生的输沙量包括入河风沙、降尘以及风力与水力的耦合侵蚀搬运作用可能增加的泥沙,接近流域总输沙量的1/6。     

黄土丘陵沟壑区小流域不同地类的侵蚀产沙模型

根据黄土丘陵沟壑区的侵蚀产沙规律，通过对晋西王家沟小流域1955—1980年的多年观测资料及多次人工模拟降雨资料分析，建立了不同地类侵蚀产沙关系式，包括坡面侵蚀产沙、黄土沟坡侵蚀产沙、红土沟坡侵蚀产沙、发育沟壁侵蚀产沙、洞穴侵蚀产沙等黄土丘陵沟壑区丰富的侵蚀产沙类型。利用GIS强大的空间分析功能，从DEM数据中提取出小流域水沙汇流网络，将水沙运移引入到侵蚀产沙模型的计算之中；模型对羊道沟22次降雨的计算结果表明：坡耕地是坡面的主要泥沙来源，陡坡地在全流域侵蚀产沙中占有重要地位，水沙汇流作用对下坡的侵蚀产沙具有重要影响。同时，选用了晋西汾河上游的阳湾小流域进行了模型的推广应用，取得了较好的预测效果。     

黄土高原面积-高程分析及其侵蚀地貌学意义

黄土高原是中国乃至世界最为著名的水土流失区之一,黄河的泥沙主要来源于此.面积-高程积分(Hypsometric integral,HI)分析常被用于侵蚀地貌区的地貌发育阶段判定.通过探讨HI与DEM分辨率、分析窗口之间的尺度效应,分析了黄土高原HI空间格局和发育阶段性,并在此基础上揭示了侵蚀产沙和地貌发育关系.研究表明:利用不同分辨率DEM计算的HI具有很好的稳定性,HI对DEM分辨率不具有依赖性;然而,利用不同分辨率的分析窗口所计算的黄土高原原HI值,表现出随着分析窗口的增大,HI表现出按照乘幂函数关系下降的趋势.黄土高原HI具有显著的空间分异特征,即汾渭谷地、宁夏内蒙沿黄冲积平原等地堑凹陷区是HI低值区,而黄土丘陵沟壑区是HI的高值区;黄土高原丘陵沟壑区地貌发育处于幼年期、壮年期和老年期的面积分别占总面积的7.9%、83.4%和8.7%,整体来看处于地貌发育壮年期;黄土高原丘陵沟壑区侵蚀产沙强度和地貌发育过程关系密切,HI与输沙模数存在显著的正相关.当前,黄土高原强烈的侵蚀产沙是其地貌发育处于壮年期的自然表现,这将是一个非常漫长的自然过程.     

无定河流域不同地貌区水沙过程对比

为了查明人为影响程度较低时期无定河流域内不同地貌区的水沙过程及其变化规律,选取1970年以前一段时期该流域内风沙区和黄土丘陵沟壑区河流的有关水文站的水文泥沙实测数据进行对比分析。结果表明,风沙区河流的流量变率较黄土丘陵沟壑区的小;风沙区河流的含沙量远小于黄土丘陵沟壑区河流的含沙量。黄土丘陵沟壑区河流具有极高的输沙率,而风沙区河流的输沙率微不足道。风沙区和黄土丘陵沟壑区河流的产流模数基本相近,但产沙模数非常悬殊,前者的产沙模数很小,为118.58~725.38t /km² · a,而后者的达到1879.36~25112.15t /km² · a。显然,无定河流域黄土丘陵沟壑区的河流是侵蚀产沙的主要来源区,因而是水土保持工作的重点区域。     

黄土丘陵沟壑区典型小流域侵蚀产沙过程模型

在分析现存土壤侵蚀产沙模型基础上，依据大量小流域野外试验小区观测与模拟降雨试验资料，建立了一个适用于黄土丘陵沟壑区小流域预测侵蚀产沙量的侵蚀产沙过程模型。由于黄土丘陵沟壑区小流域的复杂地形和侵蚀产沙的垂直分带规律，土壤侵蚀产沙的空间变化要比现有模型复杂得多，因此，本模型由三个子模型组成：坡面子模型、沟坡子模型、沟道子模型，它可以计算小流域每场暴雨的径流量与侵蚀产沙量。本文较为详细地描述了模型中计算     

东北地区融雪期径流及产沙特征分析

严重的水土流失已威胁到东北地区的土地资源,融雪径流及其造成的侵蚀作为该地区水土流失的重要组成部分,但相关研究较少。本文利用全区93个气象站降水资料,分析了东北地区降雪与积雪的基本特征。利用27个典型流域水文站径流泥沙资料,分析了融雪期内径流与产沙特征。结果表明:东北各地雪期长度为5~8个月,自南向北逐渐延长。年降雪量占年降水总量的比例多在7~25％,由此形成的融雪期径流深占全年径流深比例达13.3~24.9％,融雪期输沙模数占全年输沙模数比例达5.8~27.7％。融雪期流域输沙模数受地貌影响十分显著:丘陵漫岗区降雪量和径流深均低于山区,但输沙模数平均为山区的2.9倍。融雪输沙模数与流域面积有十分显著的幂函数递减关系。为揭示融雪侵蚀影响因素及其作用机理,今后应加强融雪期内流域侵蚀及产沙监测。     

不同时空尺度下沟壑对流域侵蚀产沙的影响——以黄土丘陵沟壑区岔巴沟流域为例

基于DEM,分别以不同的沟壑发育所需的汇水面积为阈值,提取岔巴沟流域等6个不同空间尺度流域的沟壑.并求出不同级别沟壑的差值.结合黄河子洲观测站多年的水沙观测资料,分析不同级别的沟壑及沟壑的不同部位在不同时间尺度下对流域侵蚀产沙的影响.分析结果表明:沟壑密度并不是简单地随着流域面积的增大而减小.沟壑密度的空间尺度效应与所提取沟壑的级别有关;黄土丘陵沟壑区梁峁坡、沟坡的次暴雨产沙量占流域产沙总量的比重与降雨特性有关;重力侵蚀多发生在毛沟的中、上部及沟头处,而支沟、干沟主干道的沟坡比较稳定,且其发生的重力侵蚀对流域产沙的影响多为"无效"部分;沟壑发育汇水面积的阈值为1500、1800、2000个栅格提取的沟壑对流域侵蚀产沙的作用较大,同时沟壑对流域侵蚀产沙的影响与时间尺度有关,在多年平均尺度下,高级别沟壑只起到泥沙输送通道的作用.     

地貌发育阶段的定量研究

文章提出用临界侵蚀积分值作为划分流域发育阶段的定量指标,是对经典理论的发展,主要表现在:1)将地貌发育阶段纳入开放系统的概念之中;2)避免高程积分法在划分发育阶段上的不确定性;3)建立地貌发育阶段与流域物质迁移之间的定量关系;4)区分自然侵蚀和加速侵蚀。用文中的临界侵蚀方程对黄土高原丘陵沟壑区分析计算,得到临界侵蚀积分值为0.30和0.70,即当侵蚀积分值小于0.30寸,流域处于侵蚀早期;当侵蚀积分值大于0.30,小于0.70时,流域处于侵蚀中期;当侵蚀积分值大于0.70时,流域处于侵蚀晚期。对于纯自然侵蚀过程,与临界侵蚀积分值相对应的年代及侵蚀模数为7万年前,7008t/km~2·a和距今7.2万年以后,7008t/km~2·a。目前黄土高原丘陵沟壑区加速侵蚀所占比例为30％。     

黄土高原北部丘陵沟壑区近160年土壤侵蚀量演变及其对ENSO事件的响应

对形成于1851~1861年的靖边（JB）聚湫内22.75 m沉积序列进行完整钻探,并基于XRF Core Scanning的元素分布划分旋回和年际冻融层,在高精度定年的基础上计算旋回及年际产沙量和产沙模数。结果表明：JB聚湫沉积序列由126个旋回叠加而成,且形成于1855~2014年的78 个年份中。JB聚湫内旋回产沙量和产沙模数变化范围分别为0.27×10 ⁴~22.44×10 ⁴t和0.09×10 ⁴~7.82×10 ⁴t/km ²;年际产沙量和产沙模数范围分别为0.27×10 ⁴~90.73×10 ⁴t/a和0.09×10 ⁴~23.40×10 ⁴t/(km ²·a)。 ENSO事件显著影响JB流域强降水作用下的侵蚀产沙,且在El Ni?o次年和La Ni?a年份发生侵蚀产沙的频率较高,可能是这些年份中东亚季风增强后带来更多强降水事件的结果。研究结果有效延长了黄土高原北部丘陵沟壑区小流域土壤侵蚀演变历史,充分理解ENSO事件驱动下该地区侵蚀产沙的响应,为黄土高原北部坝库建设、水土流失治理和防洪减灾等提供理论依据。     

窟野河流域河岸沙丘地貌格局及变化

风水交互作用是黄土高原北部风蚀水蚀交错带特殊的侵蚀营力，并致该区土壤侵蚀强度加重。以毛乌素沙地窟野河流域作为研究区，基于影像解译及数理统计方法，研究河道与沙丘交互地貌过程。结果表明：（1）窟野河“三河夹沙”区沙地以河流为中心呈现出对称条带状格局分布，距离河流，依次呈现出流动沙丘、固定半固定沙丘、丘陵沟壑区的空间格局；（2）典型河段河道与沙丘空间格局呈现出河道穿越流动沙丘、河道两侧斑块状沙丘镶嵌分布、两河交汇处流动沙丘分布等3种格局；（3）河道弯曲系数与河道两侧沙丘活动性的变化之间呈现出一定的对应关系。
