祁连山青海云杉(Picea crassifolia)林浅层土壤碳、氮含量特征及其相互关系

为阐明祁连山青海云杉(Picea crassifolia)林分布带对其土壤碳、氮含量的影响,以分布在祁连山东段和西段的典型青海云杉林为研究对象,通过野外取样和室内分析,论述了青海云杉林浅层土壤碳、氮含量特征及其相互关系。结果表明:(1)祁连山东、西段土壤剖面有机碳含量均随土壤深度的增加而减小,但不同土层差异显著性不同,0~40cm含量分别为73.57±17.17g·kg-1和45.85±11.93g·kg-1;东、西段土壤剖面有机碳储量没有明显的变化规律,0~40cm有机碳储量分别为205.51±39.44t·hm-2和134.93±25.80t·hm-2。(2)祁连山东、西段土壤全氮含量随土层深度变化和不同土层差异显著性变化规律同土壤有机碳含量,0~40cm全氮含量分别为4.56±0.88g·kg-1和2.81±0.66g·kg-1;东、西段土壤全氮储量亦同土壤有机碳储量变化规律,0~40cm储量分别为12.77±2.08t·hm-2和8.38±1.56t·hm-2。(3)祁连山东、西段土壤剖面不同土层C/N比差异显著性变化规律相同,其C/N值分别为15.92±1.24和16.10±2.07;C/N比值大小主要取决于有机碳含量;线性分析表明,土壤有机碳与全氮含之间呈极显著的正相关关系,可用乘幂曲线模型Y=aXb较好地描述(p0.01)。上述研究结果可为祁连山水源涵养林建群种青海云杉林的经营和管理提供理论依据和数据支撑。     

土地覆盖类型对科尔沁沙地南缘土壤有机碳储量的影响

研究了科尔沁沙地南缘土地覆盖由流动沙地向人工林地、农田及固定沙地等转变后,0~60 cm土层有机碳储量的变化。结果表明：农田土壤有机碳含量增加最明显,为流动沙地的3.97倍且相同层间差异均显著;樟子松（Pinus sylvestris var. mongolica）林地、新疆杨（Populus alba var. pyramidalis）林地、小叶锦鸡儿（Caragana microphylla）群落土壤有机碳含量较流动沙地分别增加79.78%、138.20%、73.07%,差异主要在0~20 cm土层;围封草地和中度放牧草地分别增加116.85%和133.71%,差异主要在0~40 cm土层;固定沙地比流动沙地增加49.44%,差异主要在0~20 cm土层。土地覆盖类型转变后,由于受到土壤容重的影响,土壤有机碳密度在0~20 cm土层变化较明显。8种土地覆盖类型可分为4组：CL1（农田）、CL2（新疆杨林地、围封草地、中度放牧草地）、CL3（樟子松林地、小叶锦鸡儿群落、固定沙地）和CL4（流动沙地）。另外,土壤有机碳含量和密度在土壤剖面上的分布也随着土地覆盖类型的变化而不同。     

开垦对高寒草甸土壤有机碳影响的初步研究

在中国科学院海北高寒草甸生态系统定位站地区,选择高寒草甸开垦后形成的一年生人工草地作为研究对象,开垦年限分别为0、1、11、16和20年,利用土壤有机碳密度分组法,进行了0~40cm土层土壤有机碳及不同组分（轻组有机碳,重组有机碳）含量及随开垦年限变化关系的研究。结果表明：高寒草甸开垦后其土壤有机碳的变化主要发生在0~10cm土层,土壤中SOC、LFOC和HFOC呈下降趋势,至20年时分别下降了10.5 %、26.7%、8.1 %,主要原因为当地较为强烈的风蚀作用、耕作侵蚀和开垦加剧了表层（0 ~10cm）土壤有机质的氧化分解,表层土壤中的粗有机物质在降水淋溶作用下,在土体下部重新淀积。而0 ~40 cm土体内,SOC、LFOC和HFOC略有增加,开垦20年,他们的累积速率分别为0.08 t C·hm-2·yr-1、0.07 t C·hm-2·yr-1、0.14 t C·hm-2·yr-1。人工草地长期种植虽然没有改变高寒草甸作为碳汇的基本功能,但却大大降低了其碳汇效应,植物-土壤系统年固定碳量由未开垦前的7.38t C·hm-2·yr-1下降至6.89 t C·hm-2·yr-1。     

土地利用方式对土壤有机碳和团聚体组分特征的影响

以广东省内第四纪红色黏土、玄武岩和花岗岩母质发育的土壤为研究对象,采集不同土地利用方式（水田、旱地、林地、果园/草地）下表层（0~15 cm）和亚表层（15~30 cm）土壤,研究土壤有机碳及其组分（腐殖质碳、易氧化有机碳）、土壤团聚体及其稳定性,分析土壤有机碳及其组分与土壤团聚体及其稳定性之间的相互关系。结果表明：土地利用类型、成土母质等影响土壤有机碳及其组分。3种母质发育的土壤中,各腐殖质组分占有机碳的比例是胡敏酸碳（HAC）＜富里酸碳（FAC）＜胡敏素碳（HMC）,第四纪红色黏土母质发育土壤腐殖酸碳（HAC＋FAC）以草地最高、水田最低;玄武岩、花岗岩母质发育土壤腐殖酸碳以果园最高。土壤中易氧化有机碳所占比例均高于惰性态,第四纪红色黏土母质发育土壤易氧化有机碳占有机碳比例以草地最高、旱地最低;玄武岩、花岗岩为果园最高、林地最低。3种母质发育土壤团聚体（湿筛）主要以＜0.25 mm微团聚体为主,表层土壤＞0.25 mm团聚体所占比例、团聚体平均重量直径（MWD）、团聚体破坏率（PAD）大于亚表层。土壤有机碳各组分均随着有机碳质量分数的增加而增加,＞0.25 mm团聚体质量分数和团聚体MWD随着土壤有机碳及其组分质量分数的增加而增大;PAD随着土壤易氧化碳组分质量分数增加而降低,易氧化有机碳组分有利于土壤中形成较大的团聚体,并增加团聚体水稳性。     

海南岛东部地区土地利用方式对土壤有机碳与 易氧化有机碳的影响

以海南岛东部地区的4种土地利用方式（水田、抛荒地、果园、橡胶林地）的土壤为研究对象,通过对其SOC（土壤有机碳）和ROC（土壤易氧化有机碳）质量分数的测定,分析不同土地利用方式下SOC以及ROC的分布特征。结果表明：研究区的土地利用方式对SOC与ROC具有显著影响,土地利用方式通过影响植被凋落物、根系以及耕作方式、施肥收割等管理措施影响SOC及ROC的分布特征。就整个土壤剖面（0~30 cm）而言,不同土地利用方式下SOC质量分数的分布特征表现为水田＞抛荒地＞果园＞橡胶林地;各土地利用方式下SOC在表层土壤中质量分数最高,并随着土壤层的加深逐渐递减。水田、果园和橡胶林地土壤的ROC质量分数随着土壤深度的加深而逐渐降低,抛荒地呈现出先减少后增加的趋势。不同土地利用方式下土壤ROC质量分数表现为抛荒地＞水田＞果园＞橡胶林地。ROC质量分数的高低顺序与SOC质量分数基本相同。土壤的SOC质量分数是影响ROC质量分数变化的重要因素,相关性分析结果表明：水田、抛荒地和橡胶林地的SOC与ROC质量分数呈极显著正相关,而果园的SOC与ROC质量分数呈显著正相关。4种土地利用方式中水田土壤ROC的分配比例较低,说明水田的SOC稳定性相对于其他土地利用方式较高,有利于土壤碳的储存。     

退耕还林对黄土高原地区土壤有机碳影响预测

土壤碳是全球碳循环中的重要组成部分，土地利用方式的改变对土壤碳的源和汇具有很大的影响。黄土高原地区进行的大规模退耕还林必然会通过影响土壤有机碳含量对区域碳循环产生重要影响。通过野外调查采样分析，结合使用全国土壤普查及黄土高原地区其它土地资源数据资料，研究计算了黄土高原地区的土壤有机碳量，并对实施退耕还林后土壤碳储量变化进行了预测。黄土高原地区土壤有机碳含量较低，平均土壤有机碳密度为2．49kg／m^2，仅为全国平均土壤有机碳密度的23．65％，土壤有机碳总储量为1068Tg，只占全国总有机碳量的1.16％。实施退耕还林后，土壤有机碳储量将明显增加。分步优化实施退耕30年后，黄土高原土壤有机碳储量可增至1266．8Tg，有机碳储量总体可增长19．21％。土壤有机碳储量的增加，对区域气候变化及土壤和水环境都将产生影响.     

韩江流域典型区几种森林土壤有机碳储量和养分库分析

采用野外调查、取样和室内实验分析相结合的方法,研究韩江流域典型区4种主要林分土壤有机碳储量和全量养分库的分布特征.结果表明:(1)研究区4种林分土壤有机碳平均含量在8.48~11.93 g/kg之间,常绿阔叶林最高,其次为针阔混交林,桉树林最小.土壤有机碳含量随深度增加而递减,其中阔叶林垂直变化幅度最大,达72.35%.(2)4种林分土壤碳密度差异显著,其各土层变化范围为1.78~5.74kg/m2,土壤碳密度亦随深度增加而减少.对于整个土层而言,各林分土壤碳密度在13.4l～16.74 kg/m2之间.(3)不同养分库在4种林分之间表现的规律性不同.有机碳和各全量养分储量随土壤深度增加均呈减小趋势,有机碳和全氮表现尤其明显.     

伊犁河谷不同植被带下土壤有机碳分布

结合2008年和2009年野外实地调查与室内分析的资料,运用方差分析等方法对伊犁河谷高山草甸、草甸草原、典型草原、荒漠草原、温性针叶林等9种不同植被条件下的土壤有机碳含量分布及其储量进行了分析估算.研究结果表明:伊犁河谷土壤有机碳含量因植被类型变化而不同.在0～50 cm土层范围,高山草甸、草甸草原土壤有机碳含量较高,其次是温性针叶林和典型草原,含量最低的是隐域植被和荒漠植被土壤.除隐域植被外,各植被类型下土壤有机碳含最基本呈随着土层深度增加而降低的,变化趋势.有机碳密度同样是高山草甸、草甸草原和温性针叶林土壤有机碳密度较高且比较相近,荒漠植被下土壤有机碳密度最低.伊犁河谷草地表层土壤有机碳含量高、密度大,因此应重视对伊犁河谷草地的保护,尤其要保护草地表层土壤以降低浅层土壤有机碳发生变化的可能性,维护土壤碳库的稳定性.

为了阐明盐—淡水梯度下河口潮汐沼泽土壤有机碳特征,对闽江河口盐—淡水梯度下芦苇(Phragmites australis)沼泽土壤有机碳含量、储量及其影响因子进行了测定与分析。结果表明,随着芦苇沼泽由淡水向半咸水沼泽演替,沼泽土壤粘粒和粉粒组成都在增加,土壤pH、容重和砂粒组成则在减小;尤溪洲湿地、蝙蝠洲湿地和鳝鱼滩湿地上分布的芦苇沼泽0～60cm土壤的有机碳含量分别为11.56～14.72g/kg、14.01～19.72g/kg和20.93～22.89g/kg,其平均值分别为12.47g/kg、16.62g/kg和21.97g/kg;3个采样点的0～60cm深度各层土壤有机碳储量范围分别为1408.71～1670.31t/km2、1328.44～1659.80t/km2和1319.93～1677.96t/km2,其平均值分别为1534.13t/km2、1548.12t/km2和1569.22t/km2;3块湿地芦苇沼泽0～60cm土壤的总有机碳储量分别为9204.79t/km2、9288.71t/km2和9415.35t/km2。在盐—淡水梯度下,芦苇沼泽土壤有机碳含量和储量都表现为随着盐度的增加而升高;盐—淡水梯度下沼泽土壤有机碳含量受到多个因子的调控。     

川中丘陵区紫色土表层土壤有机碳分布及影响因素

以2004～2006年间野外采样数据，采用土壤类型法对川中丘陵区（内江、资阳和遂宁三市）紫色土表层土壤有机碳密度及储量进行估算，分析了土壤有机碳密度的分布差异。据统计研究区紫色土面积为9070．19km^2，研究结果：表层土壤有机碳密度介于3．32kgC／m^2～1．71kgC／m^2间，具有高度的变异性，表层土壤有机碳储量为1．84Tg。并对影响紫色土有机碳分布的母质、地形和土地利用方式等因素进行了分析：不同成土母质上发育的表层土壤有机碳密度有差异，但均与母岩及其风化物有较强的相关性；主要土属从丘顶到丘脚土壤有机碳密度均逐渐增高；不同土地利用方式下土壤有机碳密度不同，但基本遵循疏林地〉荒草地〉坡耕地的规律。     

Women,Politics, Elections,and Citizenship

Abstract

Significantly more women than men are registered voters in the United States, and a higher proportion of women voters actually cast ballots on election day. Yet the 106th Congress (1999-2001) includes only 56 women members, 12% of the total membership of the House and Senate. Likewise, women hold only 22% of the total seats in state legislatures. The purpose of this article is to examine this paradox. It first examines the history of the women's movement in the United States. It then turns to an evaluation of women's progress in gaining elected office. Finally it considers three primary obstacles to women gaining equitable representation: solidarity among women, political culture, and the single-member district system now employed in the United States.     

Race,Gender, and Constrained Work Trips in Buffalo,NY, 1990

This study investigates whether women's short commutes should be interpreted as constrained or convenient work trips by examining how race, gender, travel mode, occupation, residential location, workplace location, and Inc.ome affect commuting time. The analysis is restricted to a sample of European American and African American male and female workers residing in Buffalo, New York, and the surrounding county using data drawn from the Public Use Microdata Samples of the 1990 U.S. census. Given the pervasive gender wage gap, women unsurprisingly have more compromised (short commutes to low-Inc.ome jobs) work trips than do men. Multivariate analysis reveals that among those who reverse commute to suburban locations, African American women have the longest work trips.     

Elevation, Age, Soil Development, and Chemical Weathering at Storbreen, Jotunheimen, Norway

Chemical weathering and associated soil development trends on glacial forelands are commonly assumed to exhibit increases with time elapsed since glaciation. However, this gross trend is complicated by several other factors including elevation, aspect, and microtopography. This paper demonstrates that on the glacial foreland at Storbreen, Jotunheimen, Norway, chemical weathering and associated soil development trends show significant elevational influences. We sampled soils at shallow depths (0–1, 1–5, and 15–20 cm) at two sites on a moraine dated to 1750 at its elevational extremes of 1155 m (site L) and 1385 m (site H). The two moraine sites also differed developmentally from an adjacent 9000-year-old surface (site T) at an intermediate elevation, 1205 m. Analyses were conducted on the fine-earth fractions. Extractable elemental composition exhibited detectable differences between the same-age soils at different elevations with the lower site L tending to have measured parameters intermediate between the high site H and the older site T. Weathering, as indicated by mineralogy, was more pronounced at the 9000-year-old site T and least evident at the high elevation site H. In addition, elevation under the conditions of the field research may inhibit pedogenesis as indicated by the chemical data. Site H, for example, showed little variation with depth and had in general, less organic matter accumulation, smaller C:N ratio, greater pH, and lesser amounts of the measured extractable elements than the soil at site L. Site T generally had smaller pH and larger levels of the measured elements than the other sites. It was concluded that elevation has a significant control on weathering and pedogenesis that may mask the effects of age in this cold and wet environment.     

FANTASY,GEOGRAPHY, WAGNER,AND OPERA*

ABSTRACT. Wilhelm Richard Wagner fused fantasy based on epic and lore with seamless scores, using landscapes and urban images to forge spatial order on stage. As a footloose composer-conductor, Wagner was considered a globetrotter for his time, and from trans-European tours he drew inspiration for numerous stagings. Nine of his operas have rustic pastoral settings, with actors silhouetted against geological formations, forests, vistas of undulating terrain for pilgrimages, or raging seas, all visually believable scenery. Rienzi and Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg are urban in setting, whereas Die Feen and Das Liebesverbot are set in a castle-like format.     

Time,Action, Space

Postmetropolis deepens Edward Soja's engagement with the sociospatial dialectic, one of his major contributions to urban theory. It also represents an uncharacteristic foray into history. The objectives of my contribution are to probe his treatment of time and to extend his sociospatial dialectic into the realm of actor-network theory, thereby further situating the materiality of the city at the theoretical center of social thought.
