Tectonic Features of the M_S8.0 Wenchuan Earthquake and Its Aftershocks

The M8.0 Wenchuan earthquake occurred on the Longmenshan fault zone. Based on field investigation of the surface rupture and focal mechanism study of the aftershocks, we discuss the geological relationship of the main, secondary and triggered ruptures. The main rupture is about 200km long and can be divided into the south part and the north part. The south part consists of two parallel fault zones characterized by reverse faulting, with several parallel secondary ruptures on the hanging wall of the main fault, and the north part is a single main fault zone characterized by lateral strike-slip and reverse faulting. Compared to a 300km long aftershock distribution, the surface rupture only occupies 200km, and the remaining 100km on the northeast of the main rupture was triggered by aftershocks. Study on the ruptures of this earthquake will be useful for studying the earthquake risk evolution on the Longmenshan fault system.     

2D多尺度混合优化地球物理反演方法及其应用(英文)

局部优化和全局优化方法广泛应用到地球物理反演,但是两者各有其优缺点。将两类方法结合起来可以取长补短。将退火遗传算法（SAGA）和单纯形算法相结合,得到了一种高效、健全的2D非线性混合地震走时反演方法。首先,利用SAGA进行大范围的全局搜索,然后由单纯形方法进行快速局部搜索。为了降低层析成像的多解性,我们采用了多尺度逐次逼近的技巧。把速度场划分为不同的空间尺度,定义网格节点上的速度作为待反演参数,采用双三次样条函数模型参数化,正问题采用有限差分走时计算方法,反问题采用多尺度混合反演方法。一个低速度异常体的数值模拟试验和抗走时扰动试验表明该方法是有效和健全的。我们将该方法应用到青藏高原东北缘阿尼玛卿rlet,Meyer,Marr,缝合带东段上部地壳速度结构研究中。数字模型试验和实际资料的应用表明了方法的有效性和健全性。

Analyzing land-use change in farming-pastoral transitional region using autologistic model and household survey approach

Land change science （LCS） strives to understand and model land-use change, which will further advance the understanding of multiple issues in the socio-ecological systems. Based on GIS/RS techniques, autologistic model, and household survey method, this study investigated major land use changes and their causes from 1978 to 2008 in Uxin Banner （county-level）, Inner Mongolia in China and then developed an understanding of the relationships between household livelihood and land-use pattern. Results showed that cultivated land increased from 1988 to 2000, and leveled offafter 2000. Built-up land increased stably for the period 1978 2008. The change of grassland and bare land differed among the three periods. From 1978 to 1988, grassland increased by 23.3%, and bare land decreased by 20.48%. From 1988 to 2000, bare land expanded by 1.7%, but grassland declined by 1.3%. From 2000 to 2008, an increase in grassland area by 1.8% was observed, but a decrease in bare land area by 9.0% was witnessed. The autologistic models performed better than logistic models as indicated by lower Akaike Information Criterion （AIC） values. Factors associated with human activities significantly correlated with the change of cultivated land, forest land, grassland, and built-up land. The produce prices and extensive cultivated land use are major issues in the farming area. This study suggests that completing land circulation systems and maintaining the stability of price are effective solutions. By contrast, reclamation and overgrazing are major concerns in the pastoral areas. Implementing environmental policies effectively, transferring population out of rural pastoral areas, and developing modem animal husbandry are effective ways to address these issues.     

New records of Jurassic petrified wood in Jianchang of western Liaoning,China and their palaeoclimate implications

Diverse and rich fossil wood records have been documented from the Mesozoic of Liaoning Province, NE China. The Tiaojishan Formation(mainly distributed in Beipiao, Chaoyang, Fuxin and Jianchang regions) is one of the most significant horizons for the Jurassic petrified wood in Liaoning Province. Previously, wood fossils of this formation were mainly reported in Beipiao and Chaoyang regions, whereas fossil wood record was merely known in Jianchang region. Here we describe new fossil wood specimens from the Tiaojishan Formation in Jianchang County, western Liaoning. Two fossil wood taxa, i.e., Protaxodioxylon jianchangense Tian et Wang sp. nov. and Xenoxylon peidense Zheng et Zhang were recognized on the basis of anatomical features. These fossil wood records add new data for understanding the fossil wood diversity, floral composition and palaeoclimate of the Tiaojishan Formation. The occurrence of Xenoxylon and Protaxodioxylon implies a cool temperate, wet and seasonal climate condition with interannual variations during the Middle to Late Jurassic transition in western Liaoning region.     

MATLAB在深层构造预测中的应用——以房山张坊水源地为例

利用MATLAB强大的分析能力,基于北京房山岩溶区浅层节理裂隙数据的进行性半自动化的统计与分析,绘制浅层节理裂隙玫瑰花图,并提取深层构造的走向线,最后与深层断层、向斜与背斜等构造进行拟合。拟合结果显示,北京房山岩溶地区浅层节理裂隙的统计走向与深层构造走向基本一致,北东向与北西向两条主构造方向的拟合误差分别为6.4%和2.1%。这一误差远小于设置的15%的误差容限,表明此代码在利用预测深层构造的应用中具有一定的正确性与潜力,能够为野外数据的分析统计提供简洁有效的帮助。但方法的有效性,仍需要通过更多的实例进行验证。     

旅游与环境资源关系研究进展

在旅游学与环境资源领域相关SSCI/SCI期刊论文的基础上,分析了目前旅游与环境资源关系的研究现状,总结了当前研究的重点与不足.在此基础上明确指出了未来的研究方向.对于4个主要研究主题,旅游环境资源价值评估的理论基础需要进一步完善,应加强多种评估方法的集成应用以及人文旅游资源价值评估实践.关于旅游可持续与生态旅游,研究方法总体上定量化不足,方法应用比较局限,且研究内容不够丰富.所以内容充实与多种方法运用及定量化研究是今后研究的突破点.关于旅游与环境资源耦合关系研究,研究内容相对分散,环境对旅游的作用是研究的薄弱点,今后需要在旅游研究中多加考虑环境的作用,再者旅游与气候关系研究没有得到重视,所以应该多加考虑旅游与气候关系研究.以适应全球气候变暖大背景.环境资源管理方面旅游税、环境税以及环境保证或生态保证的研究,也是今后的研究重点.此外,研究主题需要进一步拓宽,研究视角应实现多样化,全面考虑社会科学与自然科学的相关学科视角并注意多视角综合研究.

Spatial patterns and environmental factors influencing leaf carbon content in the forests and shrublands of China

Leaf carbon content (LCC) is widely used as an important parameter in estimating ecosystem carbon (C) storage, as well as for investigating the adaptation strategies of vegetation to their environment at a large scale. In this study, we used a dataset collected from forests (5119 plots) and shrublands (2564 plots) in China, 2011–2015. The plots were sampled following a consistent protocol, and we used the data to explore the spatial patterns of LCC at three scales: plot scale, eco-region scale (n = 24), and eco-region scale (n = 8). The average LCC of forests and shrublands combined was 45.3%, with the LCC of forests (45.5%) being slightly higher than that of shrublands (44.9%). Forest LCC ranged from 40.2% to 51.2% throughout the 24 eco-regions, while that of shrublands ranged from 35% to 50.1%. Forest LCC decreased with increasing latitude and longitude, whereas shrubland LCC decreased with increasing latitude, but increased with increasing longitude. The LCC increased, to some extent, with increasing temperature and precipitation. These results demonstrate the spatial patterns of LCC in the forests and shrublands at different scales based on field-measured data, providing a reference (or standard) for estimating carbon storage in vegetation at a regional scale.
