石漠化土地固碳潜力分析——以贵州为例

以中国南方石漠化最为严重的贵州省为主要研究对象,选取其中五个有典型代表性的石漠化综合治理小流域为研究区,以70个典型样地实地监测数据为基础,测算了目前贵州石漠化土地的碳储量并分别预测了短期(20年)和长期(50年)内的固碳潜力。数据表明:2006年全省石漠化土地总碳储量达12627～20418万t碳,其中潜在和轻度石漠化的碳储量最高,占总碳储量的80%以上,是石漠化生态系统中主要的碳库;通过石漠化综合治理,预计20年后会有22655万t二氧化碳得到固定,而50年后固碳量将翻一番,达到42708万t;贵州全省石漠化土地年均固碳量达8.55～11.34×106t,可消除全区42%的工业二氧化碳排放量,有助于贵州工业二氧化碳“零排放”目标的实现。尽管石漠化生态系统有巨大的固碳潜力,但在石漠化综合治理规划中对碳汇功能缺乏充分的重视,有必要在“十二五”石漠化综合治理规划中在更高的水平上重新考量石漠化的碳汇功能。      

On the stability of a coupled ocean atmosphere system in the presence of wave-CISK

The stability of a simple coupled ocean-atmosphere system similar to the one studied by Hirst with general ocean thermodynamics is investigated in which the atmospheric heating is determined by sea surface temperature anomalies as well as the convergence feedback (low level moisture convergence by the waves themselves). It is shown that the unstable coupled mode found by Hirst (UH mode) is profoundly modified by the convergence feedback. The feedback increases the unstable range of the UH mode and can increase its growth rate several folds. The maximally growing UH mode can become westward propagating for certain strength of convergence feedback. If the convergence feedback strength exceeds a critical value, several new unstable intraseasonal modes are also introduced. These modes are basically ‘advective’ modes. For relatively weak strengths of the convergence feedback the growth rates of these modes are smaller than that of the UH mode. As the atmosphere approaches ‘moist neutral’ state, the growth rates of these modes could become comparable or even larger than that of the UH mode. It is argued that these results explain why the El Nino and Southern Oscillation (ENSO) signal is clear in the eastern Pacific but not so in the western Pacific and they may also explain some of the differences between individual ENSO events. Our results also explain the aperiodic behaviour of some coupled numerical models. Importance of this process in explaining the observed aperiodicity of the ENSO phenomenon is indicated.

重磁位场转换计算中迭代法的综合分析与研究

处理转换计算在重磁资料解释中发挥着重要的作用,但一些计算如向下延拓、化极等有时是很不稳定的,在频率域中则表现为其转换因子具有明显的放大作用,所以其FFT理论计算结果是不稳定的.因此,很多研究工作都是围绕增加计算的稳定性、提高计算效果进行的,其中迭代法是近来在研究中受到普遍重视的方法技术,并取得了较好的成果.但也存在对迭代法研究还不够深入,对其存在的缺点认识不够充分、客观等问题,例如,迭代法进行延拓及化极等计算时,对一些具体应用虽能在一定程度上获得较好的计算结果,但却存在计算结果并不会随着迭代次数的增加而得到持续改善的问题,对于原本不稳定的计算,迭代法在迭代次数比较大时,所得的结果依然是不稳定的.为此,本文在对迭代法进行分析研究的基础上,进一步推导了迭代法的通式,并分析了对迭代法收敛性影响的各种因素.分析结果表明:迭代法收敛到FFT理论直接计算结果的决定因素是计算过程中如何选择原始数据到目标数据的映射函数;在选择了合适的映射函数的情况下,迭代次数不仅仅是决定计算成本,而是决定结果好坏的关键因素;增加迭代次数虽然能够使计算收敛到FFT直接计算理论结果,但如果该理论结果本身就是不稳定的,则迭代法计算如果收敛,也是收敛到一个不稳定的结果.所以针对位场处理转换中一些不稳定计算采用迭代法,并没有从根本上解决计算的不稳定性问题.

Plankton samples taken in the south‐western Pacific Ocean and the Tasman Sea have provided, for the first time in these waters, a series of individuals of the gonostomatid Diplophos rebainsi. Observations are presented on some of the prejuvenile and adult features and on the seasonal distribution of prejuveniles off New Zealand.     

Evaluating conditions for transboundary Marine Spatial Planning: Challenges and opportunities on the island of Ireland

Transboundary cooperation is viewed as an essential element of Marine Spatial Planning (MSP). While much of the MSP literature focuses on the need for, and benefits of, transboundary MSP, this paper explores the political and institutional factors that may facilitate the effective transition to such an approach. Drawing on transboundary planning theory and practice, key contextual factors that are likely to expedite the transition to transboundary MSP are reviewed. These include: policy convergence in neighbouring jurisdictions; prior experience of transboundary planning; and good working relations amongst key actors. Based on this review, an assessment of the conditions for transboundary MSP in the adjoining waters of Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland is undertaken. A number of recommendations are then advanced for transboundary MSP on the island of Ireland, including, the need to address the role of formal transboundary institutions and the lack of an agreed legal maritime boundary. The paper concludes with some commentary on the political realities of implementing transboundary MSP.     

Hierarchically nested river landform sequences. Part 2: Bankfull channel morphodynamics governed by valley nesting structure

River corridors exhibit landforms nested within landforms repeatedly down spatial scales. In Pasternack et al. ( 2018 ), a new, scale‐independent, hierarchical river classification was developed that uses five landform types to map the domains of a single fluvial process – flow convergence routing – at each of three–five spatial scales. Given those methods, this study investigated the details of how flow convergence routing organizes nested landform sequences. The method involved analyzing landform abundance, sequencing, and hierarchical nesting along the 35 km gravel/cobble lower Yuba River in California. Independent testing of flow convergence routing found that hydraulic patterns at every flow matched the essential predictions from classification, substantiating the process–morphology link. River width and bed elevation sequences exhibit large, nonrandom, and linked oscillations structured to preferentially yield wide bars and constricted pools at base flow and bankfull flow. At a flow of 8.44 times bankfull, there is still an abundance of wide bar and constricted pool landforms, but larger topographic drivers also yield an abundance of nozzle and oversized landforms. The nested structure of flow convergence routing landforms reveals that base flow and bankfull landforms are nested together within specific floodprone valley landform types, and these landform types control channel morphodynamics during moderate to large floods. As a result, this study calls into question the prevailing theory that the bankfull channel of a gravel/cobble river is controlled by in‐channel, bankfull, and/or small flood flows. Such flows may initiate sediment transport, but they are too small to control landform organization in a gravel/cobble river with topographic complexity. Copyright © 2018 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
