青藏高原疏勒河上游不同类型冻土可培养细菌多样性特征研究

在气候变暖及人类活动的双重干扰下,疏勒河上游冻土发生了显著退化,如活动层厚度加大、植被退化等,而冻土退化对微生物的影响一直是科研人员关注的热点话题。以疏勒河上游不同季节（4月、6月、9月）、不同退化程度冻土为研究对象,研究了可培养细菌多样性特征。通过16S rDNA基因测序及构建系统发育树表明,研究区域可培养细菌归类为27个属,分属于α-变形菌门,γ-变形菌门,放线菌门,厚壁菌门和拟杆菌门,其中放线菌门为优势类群。从属水平来讲,可培养细菌以节杆菌属和微球菌属为主,其含量随冻土退化程度加深分别呈下降和升高趋势。土壤细菌多样性与环境因子的相关性分析表明,可培养细菌多样性与土壤含水量、总氮极显著正相关,与有机碳显著正相关。这些结果表明,伴随着冻土退化而发生的地上植被逆向演替过程中,青藏高原不同类型冻土间已产生较大的环境异质性如土壤碳氮及含水量,进一步可能导致冻土微生物多样性分异。研究结果为利用微生物综合评价青藏高原不同类型冻土的生态环境提供了数据基础。     

环境因素对兴-贝型多年冻土分布与发育的影响

兴安岭-贝加尔（兴-贝）型多年冻土处于欧亚大陆高纬度多年冻土南缘,对气候变化和人类活动较为敏感。为了研究多年冻土变化规律以及预测其未来变化趋势,从环境因素对多年冻土的影响以及多年冻土与环境的相互作用两个方面出发,围绕地带性因素（纬度、高度、经度）和非地带因素（气温、植被、降水、积雪等）两大类环境因素的变化对多年冻土分布与发育的影响,分析了兴-贝型多年冻土的变化和发展趋势,总结认为：气温、植被、降水、积雪等环境因素共同作用,改变了土层水热状况,促使区域内大范围多年冻土经历了显著退化;退化程度存在区域差异,多年冻土南界附近退化程度最为显著。基于兴-贝型多年冻土的特殊性,提出了建立冻土和寒区环境监测机制并及时采取适应性和整治性措施保护和修复区域环境的建议。     

黄河源区冻土特征及退化趋势

黄河源区位于青藏高原多年冻土区东北部边缘地带,是季节冻土、岛状多年冻土和在大片连续多年冻土并存地带.多年冻土层在垂向分布上有衔接状和不衔接状两大类.不衔接状又可分为浅埋藏(8m)、深埋藏(8m)和双层多年冻土等形式.从20世纪80年代以来,源区气温以0.02℃.a-1增温率持续上升,人类经济活动日益增强,导致冻土呈区域性退化.多年冻土下界普遍升高50～80m,最大季节冻深平均减少了0.12m,浅层地下水温度上升0.5～0.7℃.冻土退化总体趋势是由大片状分布逐渐变为岛状、斑状分布,多年冻土层变薄,冻土面积缩小,融区范围扩大.部分多年冻土岛完全消失变为季节冻土.

中国天山西部那拉提山地区多年冻土分布特征

那拉提山位于中国天山西部, 其冻土变化过程对区域自然环境变化、 工程活动产生重要互馈作用. 结合即将修建的新疆伊(宁)-库(车)输电线路前期的冻土勘察结果, 对那拉提山地区冻土分布特性、 主要影响因素等进行了探讨. 结果表明: 那拉提山地区冻土分布属于典型的山地多年冻土, 冻土发育区域、 冻土类型和地下冰空间发育特征及冻土温度状况等主要受到海拔、 地形地貌、 地表水分条件等因素的影响和控制. 同时, 该地区大量发育有泥流阶地、 泥流舌、 热融滑塌、 石环、 石河等冰缘现象. 受坡向、 植被、 水分等因素影响, 区域内冻土活动层厚度为0.7~4.5 m, 随着海拔增加, 冻土厚度由阳坡连续多年冻土下界(海拔3 000 m)附近的约20~22 m增加到海拔3 300 m附近的约70~100 m. 自1985年以来, 区域年平均气温上升(约0.088℃·a^-1), 该区域内的冻土退化趋势明显.     

煤矿井工开采对冻土环境的影响分析

在多年冻土区进行煤矿井工开采,冻土稳定性是影响煤矿开采的制约性因素。采用数值模拟方法分析煤矿井工开采对冻土环境的影响。研究结果表明,最大融深随时间呈增大趋势;沿井壁深度,最大融深逐年增加,在多年冻土与季节冻土的交界附近,最大融深增加较快。由于开采巷道横截面较小,在有效的冻土保护措施下,井壁周围多年冻土温度升高幅度不会太大,因而井工开采会对井壁周围多年冻土造成一定影响,但不会造成大面积冻土的融化变形。      

214国道沿线的多年冻土及其工程地质条件评价

214国道位于青藏高原的东缘,1985-2012年期间的冻土勘察和地温监测资料表明,在河卡山至清水河439 km范围内的高山、滩地和沼泽化草甸地区分布着不连续和岛状多年冻土,公路实际穿越的多年冻土段累计里程约232.4 km,沿线绝大部分路段的地温高于-1.5℃,含冰量、冻土上限等多年冻土特征指标随地形、地貌变化剧烈. 在分析上述资料的基础上,从冻土热稳定性和自然环境两个因素入手,采用突变级数法建立了多年冻土工程地质条件评价模型并对214国道多年冻土工程地质条件进行了定量评价. 结果表明：214国道沿线冻土热稳定性普遍较差,自然环境多处于一般状态. 除局部少冰、多冰冻土路段以外,沿线多年冻土工程地质条件总体处于较差或恶劣状态. 与214国道病害调查资料进行比较后发现,路基病害一般发生在工程地质条件差的路段. 这表明该评价结果比较准确的反映了沿线的多年冻土工程地质条件,对于现有214国道和新建共和-玉树高速公路的运营和维护具有重要的指导意义.

Study on Environmental and Hydrological Effects of Thermokarst Lakes in Permafrost Regions of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

Thermokarst lake is the most visible morphologic landscape developing during the process of permafrost degradation, and it is still an international hot topic in permafrost research. The climate warming, and the consequent degradation of the permafrost on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau aggravate thermokarst lake development. The permafrost is normally considered as an aquiclude, and the permafrost degradation, especially when the permafrost is completely thawed by a thermokarst lake, might influence regional ground water. Therefore, a research program focusing on environmental and hydrological effects of thermokarst lakes in permafrost regions of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau was started and supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China. The work proposed by the application includes: To analysis the spatial and temporal distribution rule of thermokarst lakes in the Qinghai-Tibet Engineering Corridor (QTEC) under the climate change and engineering activities, and to evaluate the ecological environment effects through remote sensing and field investigation; to reveal the main factors influencing a typical thermokarst lake and its hydrothermal condition, and to elucidate the conversion relationship between the thermokarst lake and the groundwater with hydrological and isotope tracer tests; to make an analysis of the influences of different lake stage and size on regional permafrost, hydrological conditions and ecological environment through numerical simulation and statistical modelling, considering the relationships between the thermokarst lake and the ground water level. The research results will help to accurately assess regional permafrost ecological environment evolution and trend prediction, and to reasonably understand the impact factors of the permafrost hydrological evolution and its response mechanism to the ecological environment in the river source regions of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. In this paper, the research status analysis, the main research contents, research objectives and prospects were introduced so as to provide some references for related researchers and engineers.     

中国冻土地下水研究现状与进展综述

冻土地下水系统不仅在寒区水文循环中扮演着重要的角色,同时也在寒区水文过程和地表过程及其科学研究中起到了集蓄、融冻和泄流等至关重要的作用。近几十年随着全球气候变暖及人类活动（寒区工程量）的增加,冻土退化趋势显著,这一过程改变了寒区的水文地质条件,导致地下水动态特征发生显著变化,从而引起一系列的生态环境变化。近些年,诸多学者通过构建水热耦合模型来研究冻土地下水的运动机理、分布状况和季节动态,促进了寒区地下水理论知识的发展,推动了寒区水文地质知识体系的进步。本文主要针对目前我国多年冻土区地下水的研究现状进行了分析、整理、归纳,为进一步研究气候变化下地下水系统的发展与演变,以及对生态环境的影响提供参考依据。

Permafrost and groundwater on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and in northeast China

The areal extent of permafrost in China has been reduced by about 18.6 % during the last 30 years. Due to the combined influences of climate warming and human activities, permafrost has been degrading extensively, with marked spatiotemporal variability. Distribution and thermal regimes of permafrost and seasonal freeze-thaw processes are closely related to groundwater dynamics. Permafrost degradation and changes in frost action have extensively affected cold-regions hydrogeology. Progress on some research programs on groundwater and permafrost in two regions of China are summarized. On the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and in mountainous northwest China, permafrost is particularly sensitive to climate change, and the permafrost hydrogeologic environment is vulnerable due to the arid climate, lower soil-moisture content, and sparse vegetative coverage, although anthropogenic activities have limited impact. In northeast China, permafrost is thermally more stable due to the moist climate and more organic soils, but the presence or preservation of permafrost is largely dependent on favorable surface coverage. Extensive and increasing human activities in some regions have considerably accelerated the degradation of permafrost, further complicating groundwater dynamics. In summary, permafrost degradation has markedly changed the cold-regions hydrogeology in China, and has led to a series of hydrological, ecological, and environmental problems of wide concern.     

Review: Progress in permafrost hydrogeology in China

Groundwater in China’s permafrost region is vital for humans and cold-climate ecosystems. Permafrost responses to global warming have significantly changed the spatio-temporal patterns and distribution of properties associated with the groundwater system. The main areas of current and past studies on permafrost hydrogeology in China include four aspects: groundwater distribution and dynamics in permafrost regions, interplay between groundwater and permafrost, the impact of permafrost degradation on groundwater, and the regional effect of groundwater changes on the environment in permafrost regions. Over the last 10 years, the development and use of coupled heat-transport and groundwater models have focused on the hydrogeology of permafrost, and on groundwater development and distribution in permafrost regions. Progress in groundwater-related research on issues surrounding permafrost regions of China are comprehensively summarized and discussed in this review paper, which should provide a theoretical basis for further study of the groundwater system and its effects on the ecological environment under climate change.

青藏高原开发中的冻土问题

在国家决策西部大开发战略之际, 正确评价青藏高原开发中所面临的冻土问题, 为生态环境建设和国民经济持续稳定发展提供依据, 显得更为重要。多年冻土占据着青藏高原一半以上的疆土面积, 受全球气候变化和人为活动的共同影响, 在过去的几十年中已发生了不同程度的变化, 且随着人类活动增强, 变化必将加剧, 冻土问题也将显得日益突出。多年冻土的变化主要表现为多年冻土的地温升高、上限下降和面积缩减等, 进而影响到各类工程的地基稳定性, 使工程建筑受到不同程度的破坏;同时, 由于气候变化、过度放牧和工程活动的影响, 地面水热状况改变, 尤其是地表土壤层中水分含量的降低, 导致了草场退化, 生态环境恶化。在分析这些冻土问题原因的基础上, 作者预测了在未来开发中可能出现的冻土问题, 并提出了建议。

The use of geophysical methods in permafrost investigation: Iron ore deposits of the central part of the Labrador Trough,Northeastern Canada

A brief summary of our knowledge of permafrost is presented. The general properties and the thermal regime of permafrost encountered in the Schefferville area are discussed. The factors influencing the occurrence or disappearance of permafrost are discussed individually. Attempts to determine the mechanical and thermal properties of frozen rock materials, with the aim of relating these to geophysical results and to the various blasting responses appear to represent the best approach. In addition to the mapping of topography, drainage patterns, distribution and type of vegetation, snow cover and installation of thermistors, electrical resistivity surveys, borehole geophysical techniques and seismic refraction method are now recognized as important tools in predicting and outlining permafrost zones where blasting and handling procedures of iron ore are very expensive and difficult. Examples and results of such studies carried out on the Timmins 1, Timmins 4, and Fleming 3 deposits are presented. As the mining operations will move northwards into the Timmins, Barney, Goodwood, Leroy and Kivivic groups of deposits, an increasing percentage of the mining activities will be located in permafrost; consequently, it is of the utmost importance to develop a technique permitting a rapid and accurate prediction of permafrost zones in order to reduce prohibitive costs of operation. The delineation of permafrost in a particular deposit has many practical applications such as the demarcation of areas where trenching and test pitting is planned, prediction of ground conditions for test and tonnage drilling, delineation of areas of open cast walls which will be affected by permafrost and consecutive importance in slope design, operational planning of areas where free digging is possible during dirt (overburden) stripping and economic planning of mining operations, particularly with respect to drilling and blasting costs. Additional important applications include the delineation of areas of potential water problems during operations due to the presence of permafrost in the wall rocks and broad outline of the blasting patterns and choice of charge distributions to be used.     

马衔山多年冻土与季节冻土区土壤微生物量及酶活性的季节动态

为了研究马衔山多年冻土区和非多年冻土区土壤微生物碳氮、土壤酶活性的差异,选取多年冻土区、季节冻土区和交界区为对象,分析了0~30 cm土层微生物碳氮和转化酶、脲酶、中性磷酸酶、淀粉酶、过氧化氢酶、多酚氧化酶酶活性不同季节的变化特征。结果表明：全氮、总有机碳、微生物量碳氮与多数土壤酶之间呈显著相关关系。在不同区域,土壤微生物碳氮均在0~10 cm含量最高,10~20 cm次之,20~30 cm最低。土壤微生物碳氮在生长季表现为含量逐渐增加,但是多年冻土区与季节冻土区差异不大。土壤酶活性在深度方面表现与微生物碳氮含量变化一致。土壤酶并无的季节变化规律。在多年冻土区,转化酶、多酚氧化酶和磷酸酶活性明显高于非多年冻土区。本研究表明,尽管多年冻土区的植被和土壤总有机碳明显高于非多年冻土区,其土壤微生物碳氮含量相当,且一些土壤酶活性也相当。说明非多年冻土区土壤的生物地球化学相对强度较大。因此,多年冻土退化后可能会导致生态系统的退化。

Progress,Challenges and Opportunities of Permafrost Mapping in China

Permafrost mapping is the basic research direction of geocryology. This paper summarized the development history of permafrost mapping in China. The classification system, permafrost (region) area, and the progress of mapping methods at three aspects, i.e. statistical learning, empirical model and physical model in China were discussed. According to the differences of tools, data availability, models, and methods, permafrost mapping in China has experienced three development stages, including initial stage (1960s-1980s), preliminary application of remote sensing and GIS (1990s-2000s), and fusion of multi-source observation and integrated model (2010-). There are differences in the understanding of permafrost distribution and area in different stages. With the improvement of spatial resolution and maps accuracy, the new permafrost map represents the true permafrost distribution and area better. For methodology, the development of empirical model and physical model runs through three stages. The combination of remote sensing and empirical-based model is the dominated method at present, but statistical learning shows great potential with the accumulation of ground-based and remote sensed data, and physical-based model develops rapidly in China. Coupling with other models, especially with distributed hydrological models, physical-based model provides an important tool for simulating the ecological and hydrological effects of frozen soil changes. The development of earth observation system provides unprecedented opportunities for monitoring permafrost. The optimization of ground survey, data accumulation and open sharing, further development of remote sensing methods, deepening processes understanding of deeper permafrost, further improvement of physical models and their integration with multi-source observations will help break through the challenges faced by permafrost mapping in China and promote the understanding of past, present and future changes of permafrost in China.
