Advances in the Research of Impact of Decadal Solar Cycle on Modern Climate

Role of solar activity on modern climate change, particularly in the decadal scale is an important scientific issue. This paper reviews the recent observation of decadal solar signal in earth’s climate, with focus on the mechanism of solar radiation, ultraviolet radiation and cosmic rays on climate system ,and its validation. The paper points out that the assessment of uncertainty in observations, amplification process of the climate system, as well as possible future impact of solar extreme events are challenges in the present study. Finally, the keys of breakthrough are pointed, to provide a reference for future research.     

黄河口潮滩泥沙絮凝研究

本文基于现场观测的絮团粒径、悬沙浓度及水动力数据,研究了黄河口南部潮滩泥沙絮凝特征。研究发现,黄河口潮滩絮团粒径在25.42～264.44 μm之间,平均为95.20 μm。水体紊动对黄河口潮滩絮凝的影响存在差异,紊动对絮凝促进作用的上限约为G_l=3.76 s⁻¹。紊动强度低于G_l时,紊动促进泥沙絮凝,絮团粒径随紊动加强而增大;反之水体紊动对絮凝主要起抑制作用,絮团粒径随紊动强度增大而减小。悬沙浓度对黄河口潮滩泥沙絮凝起抑制作用,同等紊动条件下高悬沙浓度对应的絮团粒径更小。黄河口潮滩絮团有效密度与粒径呈现负相关关系,沉速主要受粒径影响。本研究补充了对弱潮河口潮滩泥沙絮凝特性的认识。     

Distribution and controlling factors of phytoplankton assemblages in a semi-enclosed bay during spring and summer

The phytoplankton assemblages' patterns and their correlation to environmental factors were studied in Bohai Bay during spring and summer. Two zones, the northern (NWA) and southern (SWA) water area, were identified by cluster analysis based on their physical and chemical properties. Principal component analysis (PCA) showed that more phytoplankton species was found in the SWA with low nutrient concentration, while high phytoplankton abundance occurred in the NWA with high nutrient concentration. The seasonal variability in phytoplankton can be explained by water temperature, nutrient, and hydrodynamic conditions (includes mixing during spring and stratification during summer). Results of redundancy analysis (RDA) showed that silicate (SiO(4)) and soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) were the most important environmental factors influencing the phytoplankton distribution during spring and summer, respectively. Hydrodynamics condition plays a key role in controlling variation of the environmental factors, which determined phytoplankton distribution in Bohai Bay.     

西天山昭苏北部石炭纪火山岩的岩石地球化学特征、成因及形成环境

西天山昭苏北部早石炭纪大哈拉军山组火山岩由碱性橄榄玄武岩和少量的拉斑玄武岩组成。火山岩TiO2（1．10～1．99％）和P2O5（0．22～0．70％）含量较高,富集大离子亲石元素（Rb,Ba,K）并强烈亏损高场强元素（Nb,Ta,Ti）（（Nb／La）N=0．20～0．36）,轻重稀土分异,其地球化学特征总体上与美国盆岭地区新生代（中新世中期之前）火山岩以及中美洲和南美洲的弧后“过渡型”基性火山岩相似,但与典型火山弧岩浆岩有些不同。大量元古代继承锆石的出现以及主量、微量元素和Nd同位素地球化学特征均表明火山岩经历了相当程度的结晶分异和陆壳混染（AFC）。与碱性玄武岩相比,拉斑玄武岩的SiO2含量和K2O／Na2O比值较高,而εNd（t）,MgO和Mg^#值较低,可能由碱性玄武岩浆经AFC演化形成。碱性橄榄玄武岩中含富Fe,Ti贫Si的火山岩夹层（Fe-Ti玄武岩）,是碱性玄武质岩浆依Fenner趋势发生较高程度结晶分异的产物。火山岩的元素地球化学特征指示岩浆源区可能为俯冲流体交代富集的岩石圈地幔,然而,Fe-Ti玄武岩的出现以及地球化学特征随时间的规律性变化均指示它们形成于拉张的构造环境。我们提出,昭苏北部大哈拉军山组火山岩可能形成于具有元古代陆壳基底的活动大陆边缘弧后拉张环境。这一认识与前人提出的大哈拉军山组火山岩为地幔柱活动影响的大陆裂谷岩浆岩的认识有所不同。

Effects of grazing and climate change on species diversity in sandy grassland, Inner Mongolia, China

To understand the effects of animal grazing activities and climate change on sandy grassland vegetation in northern China, a field grazing and protected enclosure experiment was conducted from 1992 through 2006 in Horqin Sand Land, Inner Mongolia. The results showed that (1) the grazing was primary responsible for changes of the vegetation richness and diversity in the grazing grassland and that changing climate was the main reason for changes in the species richness and diversity in the grassland protected from grazing; (2) light and moderate grazing can promote restoration of the richness and the diversity in the degraded grassland, and heavy grazing could result in a decrease of the richness and diversity; (3) heavy grazing can result in significant decrease of the perennial diversity, and moderate and light grazing promotes increase of the perennial diversity; the grazing, whether heavy or moderate and light grazing, was beneficial to increase of the annual diversity; (4) heavy grazing was not beneficial to diversity of Graminean and Chenopodiaceae, and moderate and light grazing was favorable the diversity of Compositae and Chenopodiaceae; (5) the warm-humid climate was favorable to increase of the richness and the diversity, and the warm-drought climate could result in decease of the richness and the diversity; (6) increased precipitation was favorable to perennial diversity and the diversity of Graminean, Leguminosae, and Compositae, and decreased precipitation had few effects on the annual diversity and Chenopodiaceae diversity.     

Cultivated land change in the Belt and Road Initiative region

The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI)–a development strategy proposed by China – provides unprecedented opportunities for multi-dimensional communication and cooperation across Asia, Africa and Europe. In this study, we analyse the spatio-temporal changes in cultivated land in the BRI countries (64 in total) to better understand the land use status of China along with its periphery for targeting specific collaboration. We apply FAO statistics and GlobeLand30 (the world’s finest land cover data at a 30-m resolution), and develop three indicator groups (namely quantity, conversion, and utilization degree) for the analysis. The results show that cultivated land area in the BRI region increased 3.73×10⁴ km² between 2000 and 2010. The increased cultivated land was mainly found in Central and Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia, while the decreased cultivated land was mostly concentrated in China. Russia ranks first with an increase of 1.59×10⁴ km² cultivated land area, followed by Hungary (0.66×10⁴ km²) and India (0.57×104 km2). China decreased 1.95×10⁴ km² cultivated land area, followed by Bangladesh (–0.22×10⁴ km²) and Thailand (–0.22×10⁴ km²). Cultivated land was mainly transferred to/from forest, grassland, artificial surfaces and bare land, and transfer types in different regions have different characteristics: while large amount of cultivated land in China was converted to artificial surfaces, considerable forest was converted to cultivated land in Southeast Asia. The increase of multi-cropping index dominated the region except the Central and Eastern Europe, while the increase of fragmentation index was prevailing in the region except for a few South Asian countries. Our results indicate that the negative consequence of cultivated land loss in China might be underestimated by the domestic- focused studies, as none of its close neighbours experienced such obvious cultivated land losses. Nevertheless, the increased cultivated land area in Southeast Asia and the extensive cultivated land use in Ukraine and Russia imply that the regional food production would be greatly improved if China’ “Go Out policy” would help those countries to intensify their cultivated land use.     

“2007.4.1”四川盆地强寒潮天气过程分析

利用T2131°×1°和欧洲中心实时资料,对2007年4月1～3日四川盆地区域性寒潮天气过程的环流背景及影响系统进行了分析,结果表明:500hPa乌拉尔山到贝加尔湖以东为宽广深厚的低压带,地面上巴湖附近为冷高压,此冷高压在500hPa脊前西北气流的引导下东移南压,是造成此次寒潮大风天气的主要原因;而且低空急流也对降温有一定的作用。     

利用重复地震P波走时差观测地壳介质的微动态

基于研究区域地震震相到时资料及地震波数据,给出了两个局部地区地壳介质微动态变化的实例。一个是汶川8.0级地震起始破裂区域,即A区;另一个是三岔口地区,即B区,该区域为活动断裂交汇部位,未发生过大地震,但近年来中小地震频繁。分析A区后发现,在汶川8.0级地震前,部分台站观测的地壳介质微动态出现了中短期异常,震源区正东及北东方向波速升高,反映出地壳介质受到显著挤压而处于硬化阶段;震源区西南方向的波速则比较稳定。分析B区后发现,可能受到汶川8.0级地震的影响,部分台站给出的计算结果在地震前后发生了变化,显示出不同方位地壳介质承压状态的差异。
