雅鲁藏布江中部流域土地沙化遥感识别

雅鲁藏布江中部流域长期遭受土地沙化侵蚀,采取有效手段进行沙化土地信息快速识别,跟踪土地沙化现状和动态发展,是土地沙化防治的基本前提。遥感数据因其快速、大范围、高精度监测等特点已被广泛应用于土地沙化监测。为降低该区域沙化土地破碎化分布特征以及广泛分布的稀疏植被地表对沙化土地遥感识别带来的不确定性,本文利用Google Earth Engine平台获取2019年秋季雅鲁藏布江中部流域Landsat无云遥感影像,基于面向对象的分类思想,充分提取沙化土地的光谱、几何和地形特征,根据不同的分类器构建4种分类方案,包括单一分类器(支持向量机、决策树、最近邻)分类以及组合分类法分类,提取雅江中游河谷地区沙化土地信息并验证不同方案的提取精度。结果表明:(1)利用面向对象组合分类模型提取的沙化土地信息效果最佳,总体精度高达91.38%,Kappa系数为0.82;(2)相较于采用单一分类器(支持向量机、最近邻和决策树分类)的面向对象分类方法,组合分类模型能更有效地识别破碎化的小面积沙化土地,降低沙化土地与稀疏植被地表的混淆情况,提高分类可靠性;(3)基于面向对象组合分类模型反演得到雅鲁藏布江中部流域201...     

Grain-size characteristics of sediments formed since 8600 yr B.P. in middle reaches of Yarlung Zangbo River in Tibet and their paleoenvironmental significance

Widespread aeolian sediments have been found in the middle reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River, China. The grain-size characteristics of sediments from Cha'er Section in the area were analyzed. The results show that the section include one stratum of paleo-mobile dunes, four strata of paleo-semi-fixed dunes, two strata of paleo-fixed dunes, one stratum of sandy immature soils. The paleo-mobile and paleo-somi-fixed dune sand in this section are similar to modern aeolian sand in either grain-size composition or Mz and σ distribution. Compared the above types of dunes each other, the content of sand substance decreases, while the content of silt and clay increases for palco-fixed dunes and sandy immature soils. Combined with age data for each stratum, the analysis shows that these strata are the products of climate changes and the evolution of aeolian landforms. The evolutionary sequence of the paleoclimate and of acolian activities in the valley since 8600 yr B.P. reveals four stages: 8600-5700 yr B.P., when the paleoclimate was cold and dry, with strong winds, thereby activating dunes; 5700-3600 yr B.P., when it was warm and wet, with weak winds, causing dunes to undergo soil-forming processes; 3600-1900 yr B.P., when climate shifted from cold-dry with strong winds to warm-wet with weak winds, and activated dunes were fixed again; and 1900 yr B.P. -present, when the climate became fine, with weak winds, fixing dunes again.     

雅鲁藏布江中游地区城乡居民点多尺度空间分异及自然因素影响分析

西藏高原土地面积广阔,但适宜人类居住的空间却高度集中于局部地区,其中雅鲁藏布江中游地区是西藏高原最重要的人口承载区。利用核密度、空间“热点”探测和地理探测器等方法,从“居民点斑块-样带-研究区全域”构成的点-线-面多尺度揭示了雅鲁藏布江中游地区城乡居民点的规模、形态和密度的空间分异特征,并分析了自然因素对城乡居民点空间分异的影响。结果表明：① 全域尺度上,雅鲁藏布江中游地区各乡镇居民点规模空间差异较大,基本形成以“彭措林乡-增期乡”为轴线的南北对称态势,居民点形态普遍规则,密度总体偏低;② 样带尺度上,仅有拉萨河样带的密度分布呈线性分布,雅鲁藏布江样带和湘曲-年楚河样带的规模、形态和密度以及拉萨河样带的形态和规模在各自方向上均呈现非线性分布,即居民点东西方向呈现分布规模和形态“两端大中间小”、分布密度“两端小中间大”的特征,而南北方向规模、形态和密度均呈现“南大北小”的特征;③ 斑块尺度上,居民点规模普遍较小,面积小于1000 m ²的数量高达19 099个,占比达到55.14%;斑块形态比较规则,形状为规则类型的数量有21 256个,占比为61.37%;分布密度整体偏低,全域仅为0.34个/km ²;④ 自然要素中,海拔对居民点规模和密度的影响最大,地势起伏度和河流邻近性对居民点形态影响显著,而降水量对居民点的规模、形态和密度影响均不显著。     

西藏一江两河地区人口分布与地形要素关系分析

地形条件是影响区域人口分布的最基本的因素之一,本文基于1 km×1 km人口空间分布公里网格数据定量分析一江两河地区人口分布基本特征及其与高程、坡度、坡向、地形起伏度等地形要素之间的关系,有助于揭示西藏高原人口分布现状的本质、理解人口空间分布结构特征,对于今后宜居地选址、改善农牧民人居环境、制定区域经济发展政策,促进区域内人口、资源与环境可持续发展具有重要意义。研究结果表明：① 一江两河地区90%的区域人口密度不足10人/km²,80%的人口分布在不足5%的土地上,人口分布比较集中。当前一江两河地区有2个主要的人口集中区,分别是拉萨市城关区和日喀则地区日喀则市,拉萨市城关区尤其显著。② 一江两河地区人口沿河分布,80.46%的人口居住在距离河流10 km以内区域,人口总数、人口密度与距河流距离呈明显的指数关系,距离河流2 km以内的区域人口密度高于50人/km²;③ 近99%的人口分布在海拔4500 m以下,当高程超过3800 m时,人口密度随海拔升高呈下降趋势;④ 近70%的人口分布在坡度小于15°的区域,而且随着坡度越大,人口密度越小,人口分布受坡向的影响不明显;⑤ 地形起伏度对人口分布的影响显著,近85%的人口分布在地形起伏度小于800 m的区域,人口密度与地形起伏度之间为倒指数关系。     

Rocky land desertification and its driving forces in the karst areas of rural Guangxi,Southwest China

With a subtropical climate, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region has a typical karst landscape. Rocky desertification has become a serious environmental issue due to its high vulnerability caused by the joint effect of natural settings and human activities, because of which its eco- environment has been deteriorated in recent years, and farmland has been disappearing sharply at the same time. This, in turn, has exacerbated the poverty level in the rural areas of the region. In this study, we monitored the spatial distribution of rocky land desertification and its temporal evolution using Landsat TM/ETM images of 1985, 1995, 2000 and 2005. We also analyzed the driving forces of the desertification and its expansion. Through constructing regression models by using all the relevant variables and considering the lagged effects as well as fixed effects, we quantified the exact role of different factors causing rocky land desertification in the study area with some new findings. The new findings in this study are greatly helpful for preserving, restoring and reconstructing the degraded mountain environment in Guangxi and other karst areas in Southwest China, and also for alleviating poverty in the rural areas in the future.     

对渭河盆地新生界及其年代的讨论

秦岭造山带北缘的渭河盆地，新生界十分发育．前人建立了盆地地层系统．随着地质成果的不断积累，原有的地层系统需要重新整理。在前人工作基础上，根据新的全球变化研究资料和数据，对渭河盆地新生界部分地层的年代做了重新认识。认为红河组形成于古近纪中始新世-晚始新世；白鹿塬组形成于古近纪晚始新世-早渐新世；冷水沟组形成于新近纪中新世早期；寇家村组形成于新近纪中新世中期；灞河组形成于新近纪中新世晚期。蓝田组和游河组不存在层位上下关系，它们可能是地史时期形成的同期异相沉积；三门组的上界年代在不同的地区各不相同，表明古三门湖的消亡时代不同的地区存有差异。蓝田组和游河组形成时期，研究区地形地貌发生分异，表现为地形凸起和凹陷并存，凸起堆积风成沉积，凹陷接受湖泊沉积，这一地貌格局很可能自7．3Ma B．P．以来，一直持续到0．15Ma B．P．，黄土高原的风尘堆积与古三门湖并存的地貌格局是新近纪晚中新世最晚期至0．15Ma B．P．以来研究区重要的地质事件之一，它是当时研究区区域构造运动作用的结果。     

Energy Balance of Irrigated Intercropping Field in the Middle Reaches of Heihe River Basin

1 Introduction Most of the solar radiation that ecosystem seizes is con- sumed on latent, sensible and soil heat flux. Among them, latent heat flux shares the biggest part (Gutierrez and Meizer, 1994; Ham et al., 1991; Rachidi et al., 1993). The radiation budget and the energy balance are crucial to water conversion and effective water utilization. Also, they are important parts of research of water-saving ag- riculture (Mo et al., 1997). At present, the researches on radiation budget and e…     

Spatial distribution and formation mechanism of aeolian sand in the middle reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River

Aeolian sand landforms in the Yarlung Zangbo River(YZR) valley are a special type of aeolian landform that has attracted the attention of many scholars. However, the spatial distribution as well as the formation mechanism of aeolian sand has rarely been reported with integrated studies. In this paper, for remote sensing interpretation, scanning electron microscopy(SEM), X-ray diffraction(XRD) and particle size distribution(PSD) methods were used to analyze the spatial distribution and the deposition characteristics of aeolian sand. Combined with wind data and topography, the main driving factors and the formation mechanism of aeolian sand landforms were also examined. In the middle reaches of the YZR valley, there is a total of 2324.43 km~2 of aeolian sand, especially on the north bank of the wide valleys. In different wide valleys, the aeolian sand landforms exhibit a decreasing trend from the upstream to the downstream regions in both the area and expansion rate of aeolian sand. The cyclonic vortexes generated by the westerly winds and glacial winds are the main driving factors for transporting alluvial sand to the riverbank areas to form aeolian dunes. There are three main types of sand dunes in the river valley: climbing dunes, lee dunes and circumfluent dunes. Climbing dunes and lee dunes are mostly located west of the Jiacha Gorge, and the circumfluent dunes are mostly located east of the Jiacha Gorge.     

西辽河的老哈河流域土地利用遥感动态监测

本文利用Landsat TM和ETM+遥感影像,基于知识规则的遥感分类及分类后处理方法对20世纪80、90年代末的半干旱的老哈河流域土地利用变化进行动态监测,并用GIS方法对土地利用变化及其空间分布进行了定量分析。结果表明:在这十年间,由于气候条件的变化及人类活动的影响,老哈河流域土地利用发生显著变化,变化范围占流域总面积的33.64%,土地利用变化主要表现为农、林、牧用地之间的转换。其中水体、滩地、林地、草地和未利用土地减少,大量的沙地和裸土地被开发利用;城乡用地和旱地有所增多,水田大幅度增加,农业耕作方式发生巨大变化。本研究为研究北方干旱化形成机理的生态-水文耦合模型提供重要的下垫面输入条件,为以后土地利用格局的改变对蒸散发和径流过程的影响提供重要的分析前提。     

Economic Structure Transformation and Land Use Change of the Changjiang River Basin

1 Introduction Economic development in any country or region entails a long process of structural change in production as GDP and income per capita rise. In addition, economic de- velopment requires a long period of structural transfor- mation in materials inputs through reallocating natural resources (Cipolla, 1962). Land, as a crucial element and a key factor of production, is always the best witness of such transformations. In China, one of the largest countries in the world, 13.5% of its…     

SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL DYNAMICS OF SOIL ORGANIC CARBON IN RESERVED DESERTIFICATION AREA —A Case Study in Yulin City, Shaanxi Province, China

Soil organic carbon (SOC) was considered to be a key index in evaluation of soil degradation and soil C sequestration. To discuss the spatial-temporal dynamics of SOC in arable layer in reversed desertification area, a case study was conducted in Yulin City, Shaanxi Province, China. Data of SOC were based on general soil survey in 1982 and repeated soil sampling in 2003. Soil organic carbon content (SOCC) was determined by K2Cr3O2-FeSO4 titration method, and soil organic carbon density (SOCD) was calculated by arithmetic average and area weighted average method, respectively. On average, SOCC and SOCD of the arable layer in the study area from 1982 to 2003 had increased 0.5 Ig/kg and 0.16kg/m2, respectively. Considering main soil types, the widest distributed Arid-Sandic Entisols had lowest values and increments of SOCC and SOCD during the study period; while the second widest Los-Orthic Entisols had higher values and increments of SOCC and SOCD, compared to the mean values of the whole region. The results indicated that reversed desertification process was due to the modification of land use and management practices, such as natural vegetation recovery, planting grass, turning arable land to grassland, and soil and water conservation etc., which can improve SOCC and SOCD and thus enhance soil C sequestration.     

Dynamics of Coastal Land Use Patterns of Inner Lingdingyang Bay in the Zhujiang River Estuary

To satisfy the growing of land demand from economic development,a large scale of land reclamation from sea has been carried out in Inner Lingdingyang Bay in the Zhujiang(Pearl)River estuary in recent years.As a result,the tidal flat and the water channels became narrow,the frequency of floods increased,and the environment was un-dermined.Guangzhou Marine Geological Survey(GMGS)conducted an integrated project for marine geo-environ-ment and geo-hazards survey in 2003.With the integration of multi-temporal remote sensing images of 1977,1978,1988,1996,and 2003,GIS spatial analyzing approach and GPS technique,as well as field data and other background data of the region,this research investigated the comprehensive characteristics and the drivers of coastal land use dy-namics and shoreline changes in Inner Lingdingyang Bay.The results reveal that the reclaimed coastal land was mainly for agriculture and aquaculture in early years,but now they are used for construction sites of harbors and in-dustries,especially high-tech industry.     

Hydrogeochemical and isotopic characteristics of spring water in the Yarlung Zangbo River Basin,Qinghai-Tibet Plateau,Southwest China

The Yarlung Zangbo River Basin(YZRB) is situated in the southern part of the Tibetan Plateau and remains in a mostly natural state. To understand the chemical characteristics of spring water and its controlling factors in the YZRB, 68 sets of spring water samples were analyzed using hydrochemical and isotopic techniques. The spring water was found to be slightly alkaline with total dissolved solids(TDS) below 1000 mg L-1. Major ions were Mg2+, Ca2+, SO42-, and HCO3-. The spring water types in this basin were determined to be HCO3-Ca·Mg and SO4·Cl-Ca·Mg. Ion exchange and dissolution of carbonate, gypsum, and silicate were identified as the prevalent hydrogeochemical processes contributing and defining spring water chemistry in this basin. Saturation indices(SI) of most major minerals studied in this region were below zero, indicating that these minerals remain under-saturated in the spring water in this area. Overall, the rank of different processes in terms of their contribution to the chemical composition of spring water in the YZRB was carbonate weathering evaporate dissolution silicate weathering precipitation input. The content of 18 O in spring water ranged from-22.22‰ to-14.08‰ with a mean of-18.15‰. Samples collected below and close to the local and global meteoric water lines indicated that spring water in this area is derived from meteoric water with chemistry affected by evaporation.

An approach to the age of Huanghe River in shelf regions of Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea

There are two different opinions on the formation history of Huanghe （Yellow） River. One postulates that Huanghe River might have come into existence before Tertiary. The other supposes that it joined up into a long river only in the last stage of Late Pleistocene. The appearance of Huanghe River is believed to have close relation to the uplifting of Tibetan Plateau. It is not likely that it could have come into being before its high elevation riverhead was formed. Today Huanghe River occurred probably during the recession of the sea in glacial periods. In the last glacial age, the climate was very harsh in the area north of the modern estuary of Changjiang （Yangtse） River; some areas were permafrost and the others barren deserts. At that time, eolation was the major exogenic force on exposed shelf. Beginning from 12 Ka BP, the global climate warmed up, resulting in gradual disappearance of continental mountain glaciers retreated, and sea level rose. Consequently, Huanghe River was replenished with water to become modern river system. With continued rising of sea level, Huanghe River delta moved continuously eastward.

Effect of reclamation time and land use on soil properties in Changjiang River Estuary,China

The objective of this study is to analyze soil physical and chemical properties,soil comprehensive functions and impact factors after different years of reclamation.Based on the survey data taken from 216 soil sampling points in the Fengxian Reclamation Area of the Changjiang (Yangtze) River Estuary,China in April 2009 and remotely sensed TM data in 2006,while by virtue of multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA),geo-statistical analysis (GA),prin-cipal component analysis (PCA) and canonical correspondence analysis (CCA),it was concluded that:1) With the in-crease in reclamation time,soil moisture,soil salinity,soil electric conductivity and soil particle size tended to decline,yet soil organic matter tended to increase.Soil available phosphorous tended to increase in the early reclamation period,yet it tended to decline after about 49 years of reclamation.Soil nitrate nitrogen,soil ammonia nitrogen and pH changed slightly in different reclamation years.Soil physical and chemical properties reached a steady state after about 30 years of reclamation.2) According to the results of PCA analysis,the weighted value (0.97 in total) that represents soil nutrient factors (soil nitrate nitrogen,soil organic matter,soil available phosphorous,soil ammonia nitrogen,pH and soil particle size) were higher than the weighted value (0.48 in total) of soil limiting factors (soil salinity,soil elec-tric conductivity and soil moisture).The higher the F value is,the better the soil quality is.3) Different land use types play different roles in the soil function maturity process,with farmlands providing the best contribution.4) Soil physi-cal and chemical properties in the reclamation area were mainly influenced by reclamation time,and then by land use types.The correlation (0.1905) of the composite index of soil function (F) with reclamation time was greater than that with land use types (-0.1161).     

Reproductive characteristics of Psilorhynchus homaloptera Hora and Mukerji,1935(Cyprinidae:Psilorhynchidae) in the lower Yarlung Zangbo River,Tibet

Psilorhynchus homaloptera mainly inhabits turbulent waters in the lower reach of the Yarlung Zangbo River,Tibet,China,and it is the only species of Psilorhynchus in China.However,many important aspects of its biology remain poorly documented,which hinders the conservation efforts.Therefore,we studied its reproduction using 801 specimens from the Motuo sector of the lower Yarlung Zangbo River from December 2015 to November 2016.The sex ratio was 0.68:1(male:female) for the overall population.Females reached a larger total length and weight(134 mm and 18.6 g) than males did(113 mm and 12.2 g).Lengths at maturity were estimated 80.0 mm for males and 93.1 mm for females.Our analyses of gonad development and the size distribution of oocytes suggest that P.homaloptera is a single spawner with the peak spawning period between September and October.Furthermore,the estimated mean absolute fecundity was 557±204 eggs per fish and mean relative fecundity was 50.9±10.9 eggs per g of female weight.The fecundity of P.homaloptera increased linearly with increasing total length,total weight,ovary weight,and age.This study on the reproductive biology of P.homaloptera demonstrate s that the fish was in a vulnerable state due to the increasing anthropogenic activities in the lower Yarlung Zangbo River.     

乌江上游地区森林生态系统水源涵养功能评估及其空间差异探究

乌江流域是西南地区重要经济中心的生态和安全屏障,其上游地区长年面临水土流失和土地石漠化等问题,严重影响到当地和长江沿岸人民的生产生活。本文基于贵州省毕节地区2010年森林二类调查小班数据,运用综合能力蓄水法对乌江上游地区森林生态系统水源涵养量进行估算,分析了水源涵养能力的空间分异特征,并使用线性回归和相关分析法对森林水源涵养能力与林地海拔、坡度和土地退化类型之间的关系进行了深入探讨。结果表明：（1）2010年,研究区森林生态系统的水源涵养总量为563.05\begin{array}{c}\times \end{array}10⁶ m³,单位面积水源涵养量达774.73 t/hm²,水源涵养能力分布表现为东部地区自东北向西南逐渐减弱、西部地区强弱相间的碎片化分布特征;（2）随着林地海拔的升高,森林单位面积水源涵养量表现出显著的下降趋势,海拔平均每上升1000 m,单位水源涵养量相应减少90.56 t/hm²左右;（3）森林水源涵养能力与坡度呈显著的负相关,坡度平均每增加1°,单位水源涵养量相应减少2.44 t/hm²;（4）土地退化对森林水源涵养功能的影响较大,退化土地的森林水源涵养能力较非退化土地平均下降23.50%。正确认识森林生态系统的水源涵养功能及其空间差异,对了解当地森林生态系统现状,以及制订实施更有针对性、更高效的水资源可持续利用和生态环境恢复及建设等相关政策具有重要意义。
