基于插件技术和GIS的坡面土壤侵蚀模拟系统

以C⁺⁺为开发语言,在.NET开发环境中,调用ArcGIS Engine开发包,设计基于插件技术和GIS坡面土壤侵蚀量估算系统,结合6次人工模拟降雨试验土壤侵蚀数据和三维激光扫描(LiDAR)地形数据,验证该系统估算土壤侵蚀量精度。结果表明,该系统估算坡面土壤侵蚀量具有较高精度,其值介于93.3%~99.5%间,平均估算精度95.8%。计算机模拟系统能较好模拟坡面土壤侵蚀形态,说明此系统估算坡面土壤侵蚀量可行。     

不同植物篱坡面的土壤侵蚀过程CA模拟

在一般元胞自动机(CA)模拟方法的基础上,将土壤侵蚀的水力学原理引进CA模型,改进其系统演化的规则,从而建立了可以模拟不同植物篱影响下的坡面土壤侵蚀过程模型,植物篱对于土壤侵蚀的影响使用产流和产沙因子来描述。结合在4个栽有不同植物篱的试验小区和一个对照小区进行的人工降雨侵蚀试验,利用该模型分别对5个小区的水土流失情况进行了模拟,并对模拟结果以及引起模拟误差的原因进行了分析。通过试验观测结果与模拟数据的对比分析发现,该模型可以很好地模拟不同植物篱影响下的坡面累积产流和产沙强度。观测和模拟的结果分别表明植物篱可以显著地减少坡面土壤的流失量,并且不同的植物篱的作用不同,其中,香根草植物篱具有最好的水土保持作用。     

喀斯特小流域分布式土壤侵蚀估算模型

为了准确估算喀斯特小流域土壤侵蚀量,根据喀斯特山区小流域复杂地貌特征、径流与侵蚀产沙在垂直方向上的差异性,以栅格DEM为基础,建立了由水文模块和侵蚀模块组成的喀斯特小流域分布式土壤侵蚀模型.其中水文模块选取了改进的喀斯特流域SCS产流模型进行产流量计算,改进的喀斯特流域DHSVM汇流模型进行小裂隙渗流、大裂隙以及管道(地下暗河)流汇流计算.侵蚀模块考虑侵蚀产沙在垂直方向上侵蚀特征的差异性,在典型区域野外调查的基础上,设计室内模拟试验,并对试验数据进行多元线性回归、逐步回归和多元非线性回归分析,建立不同坡度条件下土壤侵蚀模数的多因子模型(非线性回归模型达到极显著或非常显著水平,0.692＜R2＜0.988)进行产沙量计算,并运用泥沙物质平衡原理完成泥沙输移计算.该模型与GIS结合可实现对土壤侵蚀的时空分布过程进行模拟,为加深对该区域土壤侵蚀过程及模型研究提供参考.     

我国主要土壤侵蚀产沙模型研究评述

近年来，我国在土壤侵蚀产沙模型方面进行了大量研究，建立大量的坡面，流域及区域侵蚀产沙模型。由于我国人多地少，地貌条件复杂多样，使得我国的侵蚀产沙有不同于欧美的特点，因此我国的侵蚀产沙模型研究有明显不同于国外土壤侵蚀模型的特点。本文对我国近年来主要的土壤侵蚀经验性模型，理论性模型进行了评述，并讨论了新理论，新技术以及国外一些土壤侵蚀产沙模型在我国土壤侵蚀模型研究中的应用；本文指出了我国土壤侵蚀产沙模型今后研究的发展趋势。     

西藏自治区土壤侵蚀特点及现状

西藏自治区地域辽阔,土壤侵蚀复杂多样。本文在野外调查的基础上,对西藏自治区土壤侵蚀特点作了全面论述,并对西藏自治区不同类型土壤侵蚀区的土壤侵蚀现状做了较全面的分区评价。同时取雅江中游地区19个县作为典型区域,利用1999年1:20万TM遥感图像土壤侵蚀解译结果,对该典型区域的土壤侵蚀现状作了定量评价。最后根据评价结果,对西藏自治区土壤侵蚀的发展趋势做了预测。     

元谋干热河谷坡耕地土壤侵蚀造成的土地退化

在元谋干热河谷土壤侵蚀特征分析的基础上，对坡耕地土壤侵蚀造成的土地退化进行了模拟研究。结果表明，土壤侵蚀造成表层耕作土壤的物理性能下降、养分流失和水分入渗能力降低。表层耕作土壤的容重比下层土壤低12．7％，总孔隙度高10．9％，有机质高37．3％，120min累计入渗总量是下层土壤的1．6-2．2倍。模拟土壤侵蚀与土地生产力关系的小区试验结果显示，坡耕地每流失1cm表土，土地生产力水平平均下降4．54％。     

金沙江下游近40年来土壤侵蚀变化--以云南彝良为例

云南金沙江流域是我国水土流失最为严重的区域之一，尤其以金沙江下游区最为突出。为揭示该区域土壤侵蚀动态变化的基本规律，为今后水土保持和土地资源可持续利用提供依据，选择该区域较为典型的彝良县作为研究实例，采用航片判读、实地调查、GIS等方法编制了1960、1980和2000年土壤侵蚀图，据此分析该县1960～2000年的土壤侵蚀变化特点，并应用马尔柯夫模型预测在当前土地利用方式下土壤侵蚀动态变化趋势，为该县制定水土保持措施和土地利用规划提供了重要依据。     

GIS支持下的山东省土壤侵蚀空间特征分析

利用遥感（RS）技术提取土壤侵蚀信息，在地理信息系统（GIS）支持下，借助数据库管理系统（DBMS），建立空间数据库和属性数据库；以县级行政区域为综合分析单元，计算土壤侵蚀强度综合评价指数并进行分级处理，对山东省土壤侵蚀空间特征进行分析。     

210Pbex示踪法技术原理及其在土壤侵蚀中的应用

土壤侵蚀是全球性的环境问题之一,严重威胁到资源、环境和社会经济的可持续发展。应用核素示踪技术研究土壤侵蚀已成为当前该领域研究热点,它体现出了很多的优越性,并在今后研究中有着广阔的应用前景。本文介绍了210Pbex的示踪原理,概述了210Pbex在土壤侵蚀示踪研究中的存在的关键性问题及其应用,并对其研究进行了展望。     

喀斯特树轮记录的土壤侵蚀历史研究（英文）

在贵州中部典型喀斯特石漠化区选择2个试验样地进行树轮地貌学研究,通过对样地内计22对裸露和非裸露树根进行野外测定并取样进行室内测试,表明:喀斯特裸露根系记录了土壤侵蚀结果,裸露树根解剖结构显示土壤侵蚀发生时树根细胞生长发生明显变化,显示出年轮突然变窄、细胞明显减小、或者早材细胞数量减少等,同时,纤维面积、导管管胞面积也发生显著下降,多达70.66%,少则39.20%,而这种变化仅只与土壤侵蚀有关,结合树根年龄测定,得到土壤侵蚀发生的准确时间,并据此计算出样地尺度土壤侵蚀的动态过程,其中普定土壤侵蚀量发生在2002-2007年之间,平均侵蚀速率为每年0.484 t;贞丰土壤侵蚀发生在2005-2007年之间,平均侵蚀速率为每年0.051 t。树轮记录的土壤侵蚀不仅可以同一个物种进行测定,还可以多物种共同记录,这为以多物种阔叶混交林为主要植被的喀斯特土壤侵蚀记录的研究提供了强有力的方法;而树轮记录的土壤侵蚀量大大大于径流场监测的流失量,显示喀斯特地下流失为主,流失量占总土壤侵蚀量的2/3。

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.
