高立式阻沙网的阻沙效果对比

设计了高120cm的4种结构HDPE阻沙网：均匀结构阻沙网（a）、大条带上疏下密式阻沙网（b,60cm宽条带）、小条带疏密相间式阻沙网（c,20或10cm宽条带）和中条带上密下疏式阻沙网（d,40cm宽条带）,布设在塔克拉玛干沙漠腹地的垄间平地。阻沙试验结果表明：（1）4种结构阻沙网积沙纵断面的蚀积形态均呈单峰,但积沙宽度和高度不同,3种非均匀结构的阻沙网积沙高度均高于均匀结构阻沙网,积沙高度c> b> d> a。（2）4种结构阻沙网积沙量c> a> b> d,积沙量均集中在下风侧分布,但b和c阻沙网积沙在上风侧的积沙量高于a和d阻沙网。（3）不同结构阻沙网积沙量及其空间分布差异主要与阻沙网结构的特殊风场结构有关。     

不同间距双排尼龙阻沙网防风效应的风洞模拟

为揭示风速和间距对双排尼龙阻沙网防风效应的影响,开展对2H、5H、10H、15H（H为尼龙网高度）间距尼龙阻沙网在6、9、12 m·s^-1风速下的风洞模拟试验,对不同风速、间距下加速率等值线、变化趋势和防风效能进行对比分析。结果表明：①风速和间距对双排尼龙阻沙网加速率极小值出现的相对位置基本无影响,但后排网后极小值小于前排网后,两排尼龙网对风场的影响存在累加效应。②双排尼龙阻沙网防风效应随来流风速增大而明显降低。③2H、5H间距双排尼龙阻沙网防风效应相对较好,5H最优,10H最差该结果与相同间距设置的野外实验相一致。实际应用中尼龙阻沙网的布设应综合考虑风况、布设间距等因素,笔者建议双排尼龙阻沙网布设间距采用5H。     

青藏铁路北麓河路段风沙防护体系阻沙效益

在分析青藏铁路北麓河路段风沙灾害现状和风沙环境的基础上,将三维激光扫描技术应用于风沙工程防护体系的效益评价中,利用Leica C10三维激光扫描仪精确测量青藏铁路两侧典型防沙措施及防护体系积沙形态特征和风沙堆积量,评估防护效益。百叶窗条形阻沙栅栏单宽积沙体积最大,为18.31 m³,其次为不通风条形阻沙栅栏,单宽积沙体积为13.66 m³。阻沙栅栏最大防护距离为12 H,即上风向-3~0 H范围和下风向0~9 H范围内,双排结构的阻沙栅栏无论积沙范围或积沙量均较单排结构阻沙栅栏好。在栅栏上风向,沙粒自距栅栏5 m处开始沉降堆积,越靠近栅栏,积沙厚度越大。在阻沙栅栏的下风向,单排结构阻沙栅栏积沙范围为15 m,双排结构阻沙栅栏积沙范围可达20 m。     

荒漠-绿洲过渡带斑块植被区起沙风对风蚀积沙量的影响

以黑河中游荒漠-绿洲过渡带斑块植被区的风蚀积沙观测资料为基础,结合中国生态系统研究网络（CERN）临泽内陆河流域研究站的风况资料,应用地统计学方法对2012-2013年风蚀季（3-8月）的风蚀积沙过程进行分类,并分析起沙风对风蚀积沙量的影响。结果表明：（1）2012-2013年风蚀季风蚀积沙量的空间变异过程分为随机性变异过程（2012年4-7月）和结构性变异过程（2012年8月及2013年3-7月）。（2）在随机性变异过程中,风蚀积沙量与起沙风的风速,风向,风频率依次相关;在结构性变异过程中,风蚀积沙量与起沙风的风向,风速,风频率依次相关。③输沙势（DP）与风蚀积沙量的相关性大小为随机性变异过程>结构性变异过程;在随机性变异过程中,合成输沙势（RDP）与风蚀积沙量无明显相关关系（R²=0.0745）;而在结构性变异过程中,合成输沙势（RDP）与风蚀积沙量的相关系数较高（R²=0.9343）。④在随机性变异过程中,各月风蚀积沙量呈不规则的片状分布;在结构性变异过程中,各月积沙量呈明显的带状分布。     

低覆盖度羽翼袋沙障防风积沙效应的风洞试验

羽翼袋沙障是按照底袋固定流沙和袋上的羽翼片在风中波动削弱风速而设计出来的组合沙障，已获得专利授权。本试验针对羽翼袋沙障，在4种风速条件下，模拟了风速流场和阻沙固沙效果。结果表明：（1）与袋状沙障（对照）相比，羽翼袋沙障防风效果平均增加了48%，且风速越大降低风速效果越明显，说明羽翼片的波动能够显著消弱风速。（2）与对照相比，羽翼袋沙障的输沙量分别降低81.44%（翼高10 cm）、88.92%（翼高20 cm）。（3）同样是直径10 cm的袋，翼高20 cm的羽翼袋沙障风蚀量比翼高10 cm的降低风速13.6%，减少风蚀量19%。羽翼袋沙障具备固沙与削弱风速的作用，显著提高沙障的防风固沙效果，为防沙治沙开拓了新途径。     

粘土沙障及麦草沙障合理间距的调查研究

确定机械沙障障间距的基本原理是障间风蚀沙量等于积沙量。障间凹曲面面积与障间距及沙面坡度之间存在着显著的回归关系,运用这种回归关系就可以建立障间风蚀沙量等于积沙量的等式方程。在民勤沙区取样分别建立粘土沙障和麦草沙障的风蚀沙量等于积沙量的等式方程,计算出沙面坡度0°~8°和0°~10°的粘土沙障和麦草沙障间距分别是253.1~185.9 cm和261.4~155.0 cm;粘土沙障高度应为适宜高度范围内的最小值;粘土沙障在障高为15 cm、沙面坡度>8°时障间没有风蚀。麦草沙障在坡度>10°时障间没有风蚀;15 cm高的粘土沙障和固沙有效高度13 cm的麦草沙障的最小间距分别是185.9 cm和155.0 cm;若需要在固定就地沙面的基础上接纳外来流沙或者需要风蚀部分就地沙粒时,可将接纳沙量或风蚀沙量的平均厚度作为参数之一计算障间距;按照风蚀沙量≤积沙量的障间距设置的沙障,其方格形式只适合在害风方向多变的地段设置。     

临哈铁路典型防沙工程区阻风效率与积沙量特征

为掌握临哈铁路沿线风沙防护措施的防护效果,优化布设方案,选择临哈铁路K217、K585、K745及其支线天策线K16典型防沙工程区,采用样带同步观测法和测钎法,测定了每个区域的阻风效率和积沙量特征。结果表明：由铁路外侧向内侧,防沙工程对风的抑制效应逐渐增强。1.5 m高沙障积沙带、2.5 m深路堑、10 m和16 m高路堤导致风速增减的幅度分别为114%—69%、44%、160%—24%和190%—75%。网格防护区比阻沙栅栏防护区在1 m高度处的平均抑风效应更强,网格的高度和边长越大,其抑风效应越强。在严重沙害路段,大部分沙粒堆积在迎风侧中部的0.5 m网格内,在轻微沙害路段1.5 m阻沙栅栏处积沙量最大。因此建议在沙障配置中,中等和严重沙害路段以0.5 m高防沙网格为主,特别是在上风向沙源丰富的戈壁地区;在轻微沙害路段以多道1.5 m阻沙栅栏为主,网格措施为辅。     

敦煌莫高窟顶尼龙网栅栏防护效应研究

野外监测和风洞模拟实验结果表明,孔隙度为20%~25%的尼龙网栅栏,其保护范围达23.5H~29.5H,栅栏前后的积沙范围主要集中在2H(栏前)~3H(栏后)。砂砾质戈壁区尼龙网栅栏直接阻止了偏西风向洞窟搬运沙量的80%以上,但其侧导能力微弱,外围栅栏对来自主风向的外侧积沙的侧导率平均达到35%;对其内侧的侧导作用,在偏东风时为57.51%,偏西风时平均为15.89%,反映了防护效益的季节变化特征。在网后1H处,20cm、50cm、100cm和150cm高处的风速分别降到网前3H的48.6%、38.6%、40.7%和66%。在NW风作用下,网后10m、2m的输沙量分别是网前10m、2m的1/29和1/43,并受栅栏设置等因素的影响。流沙区尼龙网栅栏的防沙效益亦表现出在三组不同风向上的差异。栅栏的阻沙效益与沙源供给关系密切,沙源充足时以风积为主,相反,则出现较强的风蚀作用。3~5月间,对比分析前方沙源充足(1992年)、基本控制(2002年)和较好控制(2003年)3种情况,窟前栈道不同部位洞前积沙分别减少39.4%~83.3%、75.4%~95.2%和94.0%~98.7%。尼龙网栅栏是比其他材料更优的一种防沙材料,不仅价格便宜,施工简单,而且在沙障被埋后容易移动重设,在阻止沙丘前移和防止过境风沙流具有优势。目前在网栅周围形成的局部积沙,在综合防护体系逐渐建立,前方沙源截留的前提下,利用窟顶输沙能力的季节变化特别是偏东方的反向搬运功能,局部积沙可以得到较好的输导。同时建议维护调整现有砂砾质戈壁区尼龙网栅栏防护体系。     

民勤绿洲边缘积沙带形成的环境条件

甘肃河西地区经过60多年的防沙治沙，在绿洲边缘形成了一条积沙带。民勤绿洲边缘积沙带高4.8~18.6 m，宽30.4~461.4 m。为什么有的地段积沙带高大，而有的地段积沙带相对矮小，或者有的地段积沙带较宽，而有的地段积沙带较窄？对此，以民勤为研究区，通过对民勤绿洲边缘积沙带进行了调查，运用相关分析等方法和SPSS软件进行了分析。结果表明：（1） 民勤绿洲边缘积沙带按形成方式可分为天然灌丛积沙带、乔木林带积沙带、人工固沙林积沙带3种，其中天然灌丛形成的积沙带相对高大，而农田边缘单纯的乔木林带形成的积沙带最窄。（2） 控制积沙带高度的环境因子主要是积沙带与主风向的夹角，即积沙带与主风向的夹角越小，则积沙带的高度越低。上风向对准风沙口时，则积沙带与主风向的夹角越小，积沙带的宽度亦越小。（3） 典型相关分析结果好于单相关分析。结果显示，积沙带的形态主要是由其宽度、宽高比和断面形状决定的，而影响积沙带形态特征的环境因子主要是上风向是否对准风沙口以及沙源的距离，亦即当上风向未对准风沙口时积沙带较宽且断面积较大，积沙带与上风向沙源距离越小则积沙带越高大。     

库布齐沙漠HDPE网和植物纤维网沙障防沙试验效应

在库布齐沙漠流动沙丘区建立HDPE网和植物纤维网工程沙障试验区,采用MetOne 014A/024A型8通道风速仪、8方位集沙仪、风蚀插钎,观测试验沙障影响下的风速、输沙量和地表侵蚀堆积,对比分析不同规格HDPE网、植物纤维网方格沙障和HDPE网前沿高立式阻沙沙障的防风固沙效应。结果表明：（1）一定孔隙度（50%）的方格沙障中心风速垂直变化幅度与变化规律,仅与沙障平面规格和高度（h）密切相关,与试验材料基本无关。相同平面规格的方格沙障,高度（h）大者降风效应显著;相同高度的方格沙障,小规格降风效应较为显著;（2）试验沙障及其防沙体系对风沙流输沙产生明显影响,相近地貌部位,5.0m×5.0m（h=100cm）植物纤维网方格中心输沙量远小于1.0m×1.0m（h=20cm）HDPE网方格和流动沙丘区,大规格高立式沙障固沙效应优于小规格低立式沙障;（3）试验沙障的地表侵蚀堆积状态仅与沙障规格有关,沙障材料的影响不明显。

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.
