沙漠人工植被区土壤呼吸初探

2003年9月底,在沙坡头铁路北面的1956年、1964年、1981年和1987年始植的人工植被区和流动沙丘的迎风坡,分别在阴天、晴天和雨后用CI301SR测定土壤呼吸速率,结果表明:土壤呼吸速率在各样地间、日期间和互作均达到极显著水平;尤其是雨后样地间的差异非常明显。1956年始植、1964年始植、1981年始植、1987年始植样地和流沙不同天气状况下的平均土壤呼吸速率分别为-0.1537μmol·s^-1·m^-2、-0.0995μmol·s^-1·m^-2、-0.0583μmol·s^-1·m^-2、-0.0754μmol·s^-1·m^-2和-0.0336μmol·s^-1·m^-2;阴天、晴天和雨后不同样地的平均土壤呼吸速率分别为-0.0342μmol·s^-1·m^-2、-0.0778μmol·s^-1·m^-2和-0.1403μmol·s^-1·m^-2。在沙漠人工植被区,影响土壤呼吸的主要因子是水分,其次是温度与植物群落类型和发育阶段。

树轮宽度指示的川西色达7月平均最高气温变化

利用采自川西高原热基沟地区的树木年轮样本,建立了该地1506—2008年树轮宽度标准化年表。年表与川西高原色达和壤塘气象站前一年10月至当年9月的气候资料的相关分析结果显示,该年表与色达气象站7月平均最高气温相关较好,呈显著正相关关系,相关系数达0.63。利用该年表重建了该地区1506年以来的7月平均最高气温序列,通过“逐一剔除法”进行交叉检验,发现重建方程稳定可靠,方差解释量为39.7%。重建序列显示:暖期时段有5个,为1512—1548、1577—1590、1612—1660、1670—1687年和1704—1784年;冷期时段有7个,为1549—1579、1591—1611、1688—1703、1785—1828、1837—1856、1863—1902年和1962—1998年。同时,利用功率谱和小波分析法进行周期信号检测,发现重建序列存在着显著的周期振荡,主要有80～130年、24～33年、7～16年和2～3年左右的振荡周期。
