珠江三角洲丘陵赤红壤开发中的问题与可持续利用

丘陵赤红壤是珠江三角洲社会经济发展的重要土壤资源,但是长期以来的人为干扰和不合理利用使土壤性能退化,生态环境恶化,严重影响了丘陵赤红壤的可持续利用。文中总结了丘陵赤红壤的基本特性及利用现状,探讨其生态环境重建及实现可持续利用的途径。认为丘陵赤红壤面临的主要问题有:水土流失、养分贫瘠、表土砂质化、土壤结构退化、土壤水分性能退化、酸雨和重金属造成的污染等。指出实现其可持续利用的途径主要有:加强水土流失的治理;培育土壤肥力,调节土壤水分;增加生物多样性,建立良好的生态结构;防治"三废"污染,使用清洁能源;发展绿色农业与观光农业。     

“红壤坡面侵蚀与水土流失防治”的实验与探索

一、实验活动的背景 我国红壤丘陵区水土流失严重,对区域的地貌、植被、水文和人类活动（农业、工业、交通等）产生了重大影响。学校所在地区江西省景德镇市,为我国亚热带红壤丘陵区的典型地区,水热资源丰富,年降水量超过1200毫米,但分配不均;加之长期以来土地资源不合理的开发与利用,水土流失严重。高一必修1教材有一实验活动“如何保持土壤不被冲刷”,本文为教师指导学生针对实验目的,自行设计红壤坡面水土流失与水土流失防治的实验活动,探索分析坡形、坡度、地表覆盖物、工程措施等地理要素对红壤丘陵水土流失的差异影响。     

侵蚀红壤区马尾松人工林恢复过程中凋落物碳氮归还量变化

以福建省长汀县侵蚀红壤区恢复0、16和34年马尾松人工林为研究对象,采用"时空代换"法,研究侵蚀退化地植被恢复过程中马尾松和林下植被芒萁凋落物年输入量以及碳、氮归还量的变化.通过对不同恢复年限样地为期4年的凋落物观测,结果表明:植被恢复过程中凋落物输入量逐渐增加,不同恢复年限样地马尾松凋落物年输入量平均分别为0.60、...     

长汀强度水土流失区不同治理措施对土壤化学性质的影响

在福建省长汀县强度水土流失山地,探讨了草灌乔混交、补植乔灌和"老头松"改造等3种不同治理措施经10年演化后对土壤化学性质的影响。结果表明:不同治理措施下的土壤p H值均有所下降,以草灌乔混交措施pH值最低;土壤有机质、全N、速效N、全P、速效P、全K和速效K含量均以草灌乔混交措施最高,补植乔灌"老头松"改造措施次之。3种措施下土壤有机质、全N和速效N含量差异明显,而全P、速效P、全K和速效K含量差异较小,但补植乔灌措施下速效P和速效K含量均接近草灌乔混交措施。本研究显示在土壤改良中草灌乔混交措施优于补植乔灌和"老头松"改造措施,表明丰富植被结构在水土保持生态修复中具有重要作用。     

“红壤丘陵”的教学

人教版初中地理第四册中，有一段重要的教学内容——红壤丘陵。这一内容应讲清楚以下几点：一、红壤的概念及其在我国的分布 广义上的红壤是红红色酸性土壤的总称，它包括热带的砖红壤、南亚热带的赤红壤和中亚热带的红壤三类。红壤在我国分布面积达17亿亩，占全国土地总面积的12％，在我国又主要集中于长江以南的广大丘陵(即红壤丘陵)和山地，如江西、湖南、浙江等省都有较大面积的分布。     

马尾松年轮宽度年表特征及气候响应的相关性研究（英文）

树木径向生长形成的年轮与气候变化密切相关,不同气候条件(例如温度、降水)能影响树木生长,年轮的宽度变化能够反映气候变化情况。树木年轮具有定年准确、连续性强、分辨率高和记录性好等优点,应用树木年轮信息进行气候变化的研究是现今气候变化研究的重要手段。我国树轮气候学的研究区域主要集中在新疆、内蒙等西北干旱、半干旱地区以及东北地区的长白山自然保护区,研究的主要方向为历史时期的气候重构和树木年轮信息的气候变化响应。近年来,国内树轮气候学界以邵雪梅、史江峰等学者开始将研究区域拓展到我国东南沿海地区,并取得了一定的进展。本文利用采自湖南丘陵山区双牌县阳明山西北坡3个采样点的马尾松年轮宽度样本,建立了一个长度为36年的区域马尾松年轮宽度年表。阐述了马尾松年轮宽度年表的建立过程,并论述了马尾松年轮宽度年表与气候要素之间的关系,旨在探讨我国南方丘陵湿润山区树木在生长前期(径向连年生长达到最大值)的年轮宽度对气候要素响应研究的可靠性,同时揭示该地区过去环境变化的一般规律及其对树木生长的影响。相关分析发现:阳明山三个采样点的区域马尾松树木年轮宽度变化和当地气候要素存在良好的相关性。树木生长季前的径向生长与当年1–5月份的平均温度显著正相关,相关系数0.596(P0.01),与上一年的夏季6、7月份的平均温度显著正相关,相关系数0.630(P0.01);降水对马尾松的径向生长的影响主要表现在"滞后效应"方面,上一年生长季外的11–3月份以及夏季6、7月份的降水对马尾松径向生长存在负相关,相关系数分别为-0.46、-0.582(P0.05)。     

福建省长汀县水土流失治理模式对绿色农业发展的启示

长汀县是我国丘陵红壤区土壤侵蚀最严重的县份之一,水土流失严重制约着当地经济的发展。经过几十年的综合治理,长汀县水土流失得到有效控制,区域生态环境明显好转,乡村种植业、养殖业和加工业得到了发展,促进了农民增收,取得了良好的生态效益、经济效益和社会效益。通过对长汀县水土流失防控的阶段性经验的分析(如适合中度、强度侵蚀区的生态林草复合治理模式、适合所有侵蚀地的地表草被覆盖模式、山地果茶园复合循环模式、以产业提升为目的的农业综合开发治理模式及典型流域综合治理模式等)表明,水土治理必须依靠先进的科学技术,需要多方密切配合,治理过程需做到统筹协调。提出的未来水土流失治理和乡村绿色农业发展的对策,可为未来乡村绿色农业发展提供启示与借鉴,为探索农业可持续发展路子提供依据与参考。

南亚热带丘陵赤红壤理化性质变化及其原因

本文研究了南亚热带丘陵赤红壤物理、化学性质变 (退 )化的特征及其原因。结果表明 ,丘陵赤红壤在物理性质退化方面 ,主要表现在土壤团聚体稳定性下降、土壤孔隙性和土壤水分性能变劣 ;在化学性质退化方面 ,主要表现在养分贫瘠化、保肥供肥能力降低。植被破坏会引起土壤养分减少、保肥供肥能力降低 ,有机质的减少是丘陵赤红壤物理性质退化的主要原因。有必要保护植被、提高土壤有机质含量 ,以防止丘陵赤红壤理化性质退化

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.
