巴江流域演变与路南石林发育耦合分析

本文分析了巴江喀斯特流域的水系、地貌结构特征,通过多次野外调研,探讨了石林的形态及其在巴江流域内的空间分布特征。研究表明石林主要发育在二叠系的栖霞组、茅口组灰岩上,岩性和地层的差异对石林的形状有较大影响;石林的分布在地貌部位上并无明显的选择性,在洼地、斜坡及山顶均可发育,但石林的形态和高度在三种地貌部位间有明显的变化规律;以路南群为中心,往北、东方向距路南群越远,石林的高度有逐渐减小的趋势,同时石柱间的距离也越来越大,由簇状石林向分离程度很好的单个石柱变化;天生桥为一地貌裂点,石林的形态和分布特征在其上、下也表现出明显的差异。同时,根据石林发育的“三元剥蚀”机制,结合路南地区的水文、地质、地貌演化史,作者进一步分析了路南石林发育和巴江流域演变之间的内在联系,并把路南石林的发育划分为三个时期,即路南古湖期、石林遍生期和流域回春期。作者认为,石林的出现和大范围分布并非偶然,而是巴江流域演变到一定阶段的产物。     

路南石林形态计量分析

从流域地貌结构的角度，分析了路南石林形态的相似性和差异性，并根据对石林形态测量的数据，借助于SPSS软件，运用多元统计学的方法，对石林形态进行计量分析，从而揭示了石林形态大小的内在本质规律-石林的高度与宽度的比值符合P-Ⅲ型曲线分布模型。     

青海湖沙柳河流域土壤水氢氧稳定同位素组成与土壤贮水量关系北大核心CSCD

氢氧稳定同位素技术和土壤贮水量是探究区域土壤水分特征的有效手段。基于青海湖沙柳河流域土壤水氢氧稳定同位素组成(δ2H和δ^(18)O)和土壤贮水量数据,分析其在流域的空间分布特征,探讨土壤水氢氧稳定同位素组成和土壤贮水量之间的相关性。结果表明:(1)沙柳河流域土壤水δ^(18)O值从西北向东南呈现富集—贫化—富集的趋势;土壤水d-excess值在流域南部最低,在流域东北部支流上游地区最高。(2)土壤贮水量在流域空间分布上表现为北高南低的趋势。(3)土壤水δ^(18)O值、d-excess值与土壤贮水量间存在分段线性关系。当0—30 cm各土层土壤贮水量≤30 mm时,各土层土壤贮水量与土壤水δ^(18)O值分别显著负相关、与d-excess值显著正相关。青海湖沙柳河流域自然地理环境和植被特征的空间差异导致其土壤水氢氧稳定同位素组成和土壤贮水量表现出明显的空间变异性。温度变化对土壤水氢氧稳定同位素组成与土壤贮水量之间的相关性影响是通过其对土壤蒸发作用的影响来实现的。     

路南石林现代喀斯特溶蚀速率研究

通过对路南石林风景区不同地貌部位、土层下不同深度和不同的自然环境下放置石灰岩溶蚀样片一年的溶蚀结果分析,对石林发育现代溶蚀速率得出这样的认识：（１）在除去石灰岩岩石对石林发育的影响后,降水量是溶蚀的主要动力;（２）在一般情况下,土下的碳酸盐岩溶蚀量大于地表２￣３倍,但土下的沉蚀与土壤的持水特性和所处的地貌部位有关;（３）植被在石林发育过程中的作用并不如所预想的大;（４）路南大小石林从现代溶蚀速度看     

1961-2018年淮河流域热浪事件时空变化特征

利用淮河流域1961—2018年逐日最高气温与平均气温格点数据,在对基于绝对阈值和相对阈值的热浪事件识别方法进行改进的基础上,分析了逐年的热浪强度、烈度、频次、最长历时等时空变化特征。结果表明,淮河流域基于固定气温阈值的绝对热浪（>35 ℃）的多年平均强度为10.27 ℃、烈度为1.82 ℃,频次为1.3次;基于热浪指数的相对热浪多年平均强度为2.27、烈度为0.63,频次为1.0次。空间分布上,绝对热浪多发于流域西部除边缘山地的内陆地区（支流沙颖河流域）,相对热浪多发于流域西南地区（淮河干流中上游）,总体上流域东北部丘陵地区及东南近海地区的绝对、相对热浪均较弱（少）;时间变化上,淮河流域的热浪事件具有显著的趋势性突变,在20世纪60年代初至80年代早期（约1982—1985年）呈减弱（少）趋势,此后呈增强（多）趋势。     

提孜那甫河流域地表太阳辐射估算及其影响因素分析

地表太阳辐射是地球表层主要能量来源,对地表能量平衡、能量交换以及生态水文过程等具有决定性意义。山区地形复杂,其地表太阳辐射时空差异较大且较难估算。采用适用于山区的地表太阳辐射模型对西北昆仑山提孜那甫河流域地表太阳辐射时空分布进行了估算,分析了该流域季节太阳辐射空间分布规律并探讨了地形和云2个重要因素对太阳辐射空间分布的影响。结果表明:（1） 地形因子中周围地形阻挡即地形开阔度（Sky view factor,SVF）与年总太阳辐射的关系最为显著,太阳辐射随SVF增加而增加。（2） 年总太阳辐射随着高程增加首先减少,再而随之增加。探究SVF随高程的变化,发现其与太阳辐射随高程的变化趋势较为一致,因此在山区复杂地形下地表太阳辐射估算中仅利用高程对其校正存在明显不足,需综合考虑地形效应。（3） 研究计算了季节云出现频率空间分布与太阳辐射空间分布的相关系数,结果表明夏季太阳辐射受云影响较其他季节显著。定量分析了地形因子以及云对地表太阳辐射空间分布影响的贡献率,周围地形阻挡SVF对地表太阳辐射空间分布的影响最大,高程和云次之。因此综合考虑地形和云对太阳辐射的影响在山区太阳辐射模拟中是非常必要的,研究可为山区地表太阳辐射模拟提供理论依据,并为山区生态水文过程研究提供方法支撑。     

于桥水库流域地表水非点源N时空变化特征

在野外水样监测（1999年5月－2000年10月）和土地利用调查的基础上，利用遥感影像和数字化地形图，运用GIS的空间分析和图形叠置功能，研究于桥水库域地表水非点源N的时空变化特征。结果表明，在时间上，NH4^ －N的峰值出现在枯水期，而NO3^-N的峰值出现在丰水期；在空间上，NH4^ －N含量在中部平原区最高，南部丘陵和北部山区居其次，NO3^-N含量的变化则不具有明显的规律性。NH4^ －N和NO3^-不同的时空分布特征与它们的化学性质及流域内土地利用格局有关。     

东辽河流域坡面系统生态需水研究

以东辽河流域累积46个测站52年的水文资料和1986年、1996年、2000年Landsat TM数字图像为源信息，在分析景观格局、流域降水和径流时空分布的基础上，探讨东辽河流域坡面系统生态需水的时空变化和平衡分区。东辽河流域坡面系统景观的优势度较强，斑块的形状较为规整，但分布较散，同时受到人灰活动的干预非常强。水文情势的空间分异明显。东辽河流域坡面系统全年平均生态需水量为504.72mm(324.08mm～618.89mm），5～9月份生态需水量占全年生态需水总量的88.29%，下游形成生态需水的高值区。坡面系统生态需水量的极端满足程度仅为90%，全年和生长季（5～9月）生态缺水区分别占了全流域总面积的60.47%和74.01%，从生态需水的缺水数量和缺水区域来看，缺水区域大的趋势尤为严峻，必需采取全流域用水的综合调配。     

疏勒河流域农业水土资源时空匹配特征分析

水土资源是农业生产最重要的基础性资源,其空间的合理有效配置有利于资源的充分利用和区域可持续发展。以疏勒河流域为研究对象,基于水足迹理论核算流域农业生产水足迹变化规律,采用基尼系数和空间错配模型定量评估研究区2000—2020年农业水土资源的时空匹配动态趋势及其敏感性。结果表明：（1）2000—2020年疏勒河流域农业作物生产水足迹和作物种植面积总体呈波动下降趋势,作物生产水足迹峰值出现在2007、2018年,作物种植面积峰值出现在2009、2018年;流域年均蓝水足迹贡献率达90.9%,且与绿水足迹呈互补关系,表明蓝水是疏勒河流域农业用水的主要来源。（2）农业水土资源的空间匹配程度逐渐提高,总体处于较匹配的状态;蓝、绿水足迹与作物种植面积的空间不匹配程度逐渐得到改善,空间分布中均呈现出中部高、四周低的特点。（3）作物种植面积对作物生产水足迹变化呈中、高度敏感性的地区数量不断增加趋势。     

阿克苏河流域的面雨量序列及其与径流关系

以数字高程模型 (DEM) 的1km×1km网格数据为基础,对阿克苏河流域14个气象站和水文站的1961~2000年的年降水资料进行了自然正交分解 (EOF),通过回归分析,建立主要特征向量与地理因子的插值模型,给出了一个面雨量序列的计算方法,为建立气候要素的区域平均序列提供了一个有效的解决方案,并由此推算出年阿克苏流域平均年降水量的空间分布以及面雨量序列。径流量与面雨量之比 (R/P) 平均为0.43,最高为0.69 (1997年),最低为0.30 (1963年)。计算出的阿克苏河流域面雨量序列与阿克苏河实测径流量序列的趋势变化率分别为5.79×10⁸ m³/10a和4.29×10⁸ m³/10a,两者均表现出增加趋势,但面雨量的增加速率要比径流量大一些,年际变化幅度也要大,面雨量和径流量的变差系数Cv值分别为0.17和0.13。阿克苏河年径流量的变化与夏季0^oC层高度、年面雨量有着十分密切的关系,表明20世纪90年代以来新疆气候的变化是阿克苏河流域径流稳定增加的一个非常重要的因素。

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.
