The causes and environmental effects of land use conversion during agricultural restructuring in Northeast China

During the last decade of the 20th century, extensive conversion in agricultural land use took place in Northeast China. The goal of this study is to ascertain its spatial distribution and regional differentiation, determine its causes, and analyze its environmental impact. Especially we attempt to elucidate how institutional constraints have facilitated the change at a time of agrarian restructuring when newly emerging free market was hybridized with the former planned economy. Information on six categories of land use was mapped from interpretation of Landsat TM images recorded in 1990, 1995 and 2000. Most of land use changes took place during the first half of the decade, coinciding with abrupt and chaotic changes in government directives. Farmland was changed mainly to woodland, water body and built-up areas while woodland and grassland were converted chiefly to farmland. Spatially, the change from farmland to woodland was restricted to the west of the study area. The change from grassland to farmland took place in the grazing and farming interlocked west. These chaotic and occasionally conflicting changes were largely caused by lack of stability and consistency in agricultural land use policies promulgated. They have exerted adverse impacts on the local environment, including land degradation, increased flooding, and modified climate regime.

铁细菌在北极特定海区沉积物中的分布

用平板法对取自北极加拿大海盆和楚科奇海10个沉积物岩芯中184个样品进行铁细菌检出率和含量分析.结果表明,4 ℃培养时铁细菌的检出率为10.33%,含量范围均为未检出～ 8.40×106 个/g(湿样,下同),平均含量为7.76×104 个/g.25 ℃培养时铁细菌的检出率为40.22%,含量范围均为未检出～1.00×108 个/g,平均含量为1.40×106 个/g.研究区沉积物中铁细菌含量高于太平洋深海沉积物中铁细菌含量;与前人在淡水沉积物中所作的调查相比,研究区的铁细菌含量落在前人调查结果范围内,但比细菌簇中铁细菌含量要低,这表明研究区海底沉积物的微生境较适合铁细菌的繁衍.对铁细菌在不同水深、经纬度以及沉积物深度中的分布进行了讨论,结果表明铁细菌检出率随沉积物深度增加而增大,含量变化呈现出浅层少、下层多之势.铁细菌的纬度分布范围较大,并显出有扩大的趋势.铁细菌含量与检出率随水深加大也呈跳跃式变化,水较深时铁细菌有较高的检出率和数量,但离陆距离的增加又会在物质供应上对其生长产生制约.培养温度对铁细菌分布有一定影响,温度提高不仅提高了铁细菌检出率,也增加了铁细菌的含量.这也许与部分铁细菌的最适宜生长温度较高有关,温度升高有利于某些铁细菌的生长发育.

安哥拉东北部地区Inkisi组碎屑锆石U- Pb年龄、地球化学特征及其地质意义

Inkisi组是刚果盆地西南缘最古老的沉积地层之一,岩性主要为一套紫红色、红褐色细粒、细中粒长石砂岩、杂砂岩。通过对安哥拉东北部Inkisi组长石砂岩开展碎屑锆石测年、岩石地球化学研究,探讨其沉积时代、物质来源、沉积环境和大地构造背景,为研究刚果盆地演化提供科学依据。结果表明,碎屑锆石206Pb/238U年龄主要集中于3个年龄峰值区间2350~1900 Ma、1150~850 Ma、850~500 Ma,最年轻的锆石峰值年龄为531±9 Ma,据此,笔者等认为Inkisi组的沉积时代上限应厘定为早寒武世。Inkisi组砂岩地球化学特征显示,物源具有长英质物源近源搬运特征,沉积时期的水体为陆相开阔的淡水环境。通过碎屑锆石年龄谱特征、主微量元素物源判别及构造判别图解,本文认为,West Congo构造带为安哥拉东北部地区Inkisi组主要物源区,Lufilian构造带、Angola 地盾等是其次要物质来源,物源区构造环境主要为活动大陆边缘和被动大陆边缘构造环境背景。

福建行洛坑钨矿床白钨矿Sm-Nd等时线年龄及微量元素地球化学特征

行洛坑超大型钨矿床位于福建省宁化县东部,是武夷山成矿带内最大的钨矿床,具有储量大、品位低、黑钨矿与白钨矿资源量相近的特点。白钨矿作为含钨矿物,其形成年龄可以代表矿床的成矿时代,其地球化学特征反映了成矿作用环境和过程。文章在对行洛坑钨矿床钨矿脉特征、黑钨矿与白钨矿赋存状态开展调查的基础上,挑选白钨矿单矿物进行了Sm-Nd等时线测年和微量元素测试。研究结果显示,白钨矿结晶年龄为（142.6±2.8）Ma,略小于黑钨矿原位U-Pb年龄（150.5±8.1）Ma和石英流体包裹体Rb-Sr等时线年龄（147.5±2.9）Ma,与矿区隐伏岩体成岩年龄143.5~149.5 Ma在误差范围内完全吻合,也与矿物结晶世代关系吻合,都属于晚侏罗世的产物,说明钨成矿与隐伏岩体成岩近于同时或稍晚发生。白钨矿中微量及稀土元素特征显示第一世代成矿流体中Eu³⁺ < < Eu²⁺,指示成矿流体为还原性流体;第二世代成矿流体中Eu³⁺ > > Eu²⁺,指示成矿流体为氧化性流体。行洛坑钨矿成矿与华南中生代大规模成矿作用及其大地构造背景和动力学环境密切相关。     

2007/2008年湖北省冬季异常低温雨雪过程成因分析

通过对2007/2008年秋冬季海洋及大气的异常特征的分析表明：秋冬季的拉尼娜现象是2007/2008年冬季持续低温雨雪过程的基础,但它并不是决定性的因素,在拉尼娜现象发生的气候背景之下,西太平洋副高的持续偏强对这次异常低温雨雪过程起着非常重要的作用,因而,加强对大气候背景之下的环流异常的研究是一项极为重要的科研任务,对今后的短期气候预测有重要的意义。     

First Report of Osteoglossiform Fish Huashia from the Cretaceous of Eastern Liaoning,China

正Objective The Mesozoic strata in eastern Liaoning and southern Jilin are relatively well developed. Liu et al.(1963) studied Lycoptera in North China, and they mentioned the fossils of south Jilin, but they were not included in the study due to the lack of specimens and poor preservation. Ma and Sun(1988) studied fish fossils from the Sankeyushu section in Tonghua, Jilin, and laid the foundation for the study of fish fossils in this area.     

Variation of Radio Refractivity with Respect to Moisture and Temperature and Influence on Radar Ray Path

In this study, the variation of radio refractivity with respect to temperature and moisture is analyzed. Also, the effects of vertical gradients in temperature and moisture on the propagation paths of electromagnetic waves of weather radar are examined for several sites across the United States using several years of sounding data from the National Weather Service. The ray path is important for identifying storm characteristics and for properly using the radar data in initializing numerical weather prediction models. It is found that during the warm season the radio refractivity gradient is more sensitive to moisture gradients than to temperature gradients. Ray paths from the commonly accepted vertical ray path model are compared to a ray path computed from a stepwise ray tracing algorithm using data from actual soundings. For the sample of about 16 000 soundings examined, we find that only a small fraction of the ray paths diverge significantly from those calculated using a ray path model based on the US Standard Atmosphere. While the problem of ray dueting in the presence of a temperature inversion is fairly well known, we identify the presence of a strong vertical moisture gradient as the culprit in the majority of the cases where significant deviations occurred.
