Soil baseline geochemistry and plant response in areas of complex geology. Application to NW Euboea,Greece

A soil and vegetation survey was undertaken in NW Euboea Island, Greece. The objectives of the study were to establish the geochemical baseline of soil and identify the impact of local geology on threshold values of potentially harmful elements. The studied area is characterized by complex geology comprising metamorphic and ultramafic rocks as well as active hot springs. A total of 117 soil samples were collected from 89 sites at depths of 0–25 cm and 25–50 cm. Eighteen vegetation samples were also collected representing prevalent indigenous perennial species in the region. Soil samples from the present study were enriched in As, Ca, Cu, Mg, Ni with concentrations reaching 233 mg/kg, 38%, 336 mg/kg, 10.8%, 1560 mg/kg respectively. Factor analysis revealed three main factors controlling the chemical composition of soil reflecting the influence of ultramafic rocks (Cr, Ca, Mg, Ni), hot spring deposits (Ca, S, Sr, As) and paedogenesis processes (Fe, Co, V, Mn, Al). The first two of these factors showed significant spatial correlation with the geological features within the study area. Subsequently, baseline concentrations based on statistical and spatial data were estimated within sub-areas reflecting the influence of local geology in soil composition. Concentrations of potentially harmful elements in the plant tissues of indigenous perennial vegetation species showed a wide range of variation from below the detection limit up to 1700 mg/kg for Ni in the hyperaccumulator Alyssum chalcidicum demonstrating that plant species have adapted to the stressful conditions caused by high elemental concentrations in soil. The results of this study can be utilized in future studies at areas of similar geology by providing an objective basis for setting realistic threshold values for pollution assessment and remediation.     

江西省温泉资源地理分布及旅游开发布局研究

温泉具有医疗保健作用,是一种重要的健康旅游资源。江西省拥有丰富的温泉资源,分布范围广泛,集中分布在西部和南部的山地丘陵地区。江西温泉资源进行现代旅游开发的历史较短,已进行旅游开发的温泉仅占少数,开发强度由赣北、赣中到赣南依次递减。依据江西省内各区域温泉资源特点、交通条件、经济状况及旅游业发展水平等因素,提出采用网络化模式发展温泉旅游,通过“点一轴”渐进式扩散,形成“点”、“轴”、“面”相结合的空间结构网络系统,形成“一心两核、二轴四区”的旅游空间格局。

沙纹弹道成因理论评析

运用风沙地貌蚀积原理对长期风靡于风沙地貌学研究领域的R·A·拜格诺跃移质冲击起动学说进行了评析,在肯定该学说正确方面和历史贡献的同时,对其中的沙纹弹道成因理论提出了异议。在分析弹道理论特点后认为,跃移质等量、等高、等距的三等特性是拜氏冲击起动学说在沙纹成因上的具体运用和观点的集中体现。分析认为沙粒跃移特性轨迹只存在于少量的跃移质中,且很少具有连续性;它不能取代普遍存在于风沙移动之中沙粒的3种运动形式,也无法体现沙粒两种起动的相互关系和沙粒在移动中所表现出来的高低不一,移距长短不同的差异性和分选性。评析强调沙粒起动和沙粒运移的多样性,在寻求它们的规律时,不应简化其多样性,或追求运动的单一性和特殊性。实验证明,沙纹无论在初始的形成阶段,还是在后续的演进阶段,均有风力起动和冲击起动的参与,而不是跃移质单一冲击的结果。沙纹有规则的排列主要是贴地夹沙气流周期性脉动的反映,而不是跃移质特性轨迹的重演。     

Discovery of the Avon – Solent Fracture Zone and its relationship to Bath hot springs

 The hot springs of Bristol and Bath and two geothermal wells at Southampton are located on a 155-km-long Avon–Solent Fracture Zone extending in a NW–SE direction from the Severn Estuary to the English Channel. Initiated during the Variscan earth movements and reactivated in Miocene times, the structure, which extends across the English Channel to France, is still active. With this discovery, it should now be possible to throw fresh light on the origin and movement of the thermal water at Bath and thus to protect the hot springs from derogation by limestone quarrying.

辽东半岛温泉与地震空间分布关系讨论

辽东半岛是温泉和地震都比较多的地区,本文在分析地震和温泉空间分布特征的基础上,提出两者在空间分布上是不一致的。因此,区内温泉不能作为判断地震危险区的依据,确认这一点,对地震预报有实际意义     

Where Should the Start Zone Be Located for Xiong’an New Area? A Land Use Perspective

China announced plans on April 1, 2017 to create Xiong’an New Area, a new economic zone about 110 km southwest of Beijing. The new area of national significance covers the three counties of Xiongxian, Rongcheng and Anxin in Hebei Province, and is home to Baiyangdian, a major wetland in northern China. It will cover around 100 km² initially (called “Starting Zone”) and will be expanded to 200 km² in the mid-term and about 2000 km² in the long term. In this context, it is important to assess the land use pattern for the new area’s planning and development. Based on remote sensing interpretation of Landsat OLI images, we examine the current land use features, the potential for built-up land saving and intensive use, and the spatial variation of arable land quality. The results indicate that the arable lands, built-up lands and wetlands account for around 60%, 20% and 10%, respectively. The potential for rural built-up land saving and intensive use is quite large. The arable land quality and use intensity in Rongcheng and Anxin counties are much better than that of Xiongxian. The pros and cons for three potential options for the Starting Zone are listed and compared. The eastern area of Rongcheng county, to the north of Baiyangdian, is believed to be the most suitable Starting Zone. Policy recommendations for built-up land expansion, farmland saving and flood risk mitigation for Xiong’an New Area are also proposed in this paper.
