Carbon,nitrogen and phosphorus coupling relationships and their influencing factors in the critical zone of Dongting Lake wetlands,China

Wetland is a transition zone between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, and is the source and sink of various biogenic elements in the earth’s epipelagic zone. In order to investigate the driving force and coupling mechanism of carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) migration in the critical zone of lake wetland, this paper studies the natural wetland of Dongting Lake area, through measuring and analysing the C, N and P contents in the wetland soil and groundwater. Methods of Pearson correlation, non-linear regression and machine learning were employed to analyse the influencing factors, and to explore the coupling patterns of the C, N and P in both soils and groundwater, with data derived from soil and water samples collected from the wetland critical zone. The results show that the mean values of organic carbon (TOC), total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) in groundwater are 1.59 mg/L, 4.19 mg/L and 0.5 mg/L, respectively, while the mean values of C, N and P in the soils are 18.05 g/kg, 0.86 g/kg and 0.52 g/kg. The results also show that the TOC, TN and TP in the groundwater are driven by a variety of environmental factors. However, the concentrations of C, N and P in the soils are mainly related to vegetation abundance and species which influence each other. In addition, the fitted curves of wetland soil C-N and C-P appear to follow the power function and S-shaped curve, respectively. In order to establish a multivariate regression model, the soil N and P contents were used as the input parameters and the soil C content used as the output one. By comparing the prediction effects of machine learning and nonlinear regression modelling, the results show that coupled relationship equation for the C, N and P contents is highly reliable. Future modelling of the coupled soil and groundwater elemental cycles needs to consider the complexity of hydrogeological conditions and to explore the quantitative relationships among the influencing factors and chemical constituents.     

Chronological and geochemical studies of the Middle Neoproterozoic mafic rock and turbidite in the Dahongshan orogenic belt on the northern margin of the Yangtze Block: Implications for the evolution of the back-arc basinSCIEI北大核心CSCD

扬子北缘~820Ma可能记录了从挤压环境向伸展环境的重要转换,是解决扬子新元古代演化争议的关键时间节点。本研究在扬子北缘大洪山造山带圆潭地区识别出一套基性岩和浊积岩组合。其中基性岩全岩Sm-Nd等时线年龄为845Ma±81Ma(MSWD=1.5),浊积岩碎屑锆石年龄谱包括四个主要峰值年龄(~835Ma、~1597Ma、~2002Ma、~2482Ma)和两个次要峰值年龄(~2680Ma、~2934Ma),综合前人研究成果将浊积岩的形成时代约束在835~820Ma。浊积岩与花山群的形成时代一致,应代表花山群的北向延伸。浊积岩的物源来自扬子北缘桐柏-大别地区,不同于前人对花山群的分析结果,指示花山群可能具有多个物源。以上地层碎屑锆石年龄谱和地层层序特征与弧后盆地相似。本研究基性岩样品具有低的SiO_(2)(45.41%~50.29%)、K 2O(0.03%~1.49%),高的TiO_(2)(1.42%~3.03%),和低的U/Th(0.15~0.29)、Th/Zr(0.003~0.011)和Nb/Y(0.059~0.147)以及正的εNd(t)(+1.18~+1.57),类似N-MORB地球化学特征。基性岩来自于软流圈,经历<3%部分熔融而生成,并在上升过程中受到了一定程度的地壳混染。综合以上分析,本文认为这些基性岩和浊积岩共同构成一套弧后背景环境岩石组合。     

物质组成特征对碎石土斜坡变形破坏影响研究

为研究物质组成空间分布特征对降雨下碎石土斜坡变形破坏的影响,以不同成因碎石土斜坡的特点为依照,进行了4种物质组成空间分布的碎石土斜坡模型及1种均质斜坡模型试验。结果表明,物质组成空间分布特征对降雨下碎石土斜坡变形破坏所发挥的作用与降雨入渗方向和应力调整方向有重要关系。当土料变化方向与入渗方向大角度相交且与应力调整方向相同时,斜坡渗透性为土料各自的渗透性,斜坡力学性质偏向于组成土料力学性质的最大值。当土料变化方向与入渗方向相同且与应力调整方向大角度相交时,斜坡渗透性接近组成土料渗透性的最小值,斜坡变形破坏受控于其中的软弱土料。降雨下斜坡各处均发生变形,且变形向周围调整并产生影响。破裂面更易发于软弱土料中。该研究有助于斜坡灾害勘察、预测评价及防治向精细化方向发展。

Responses of water quality to land use in riparian buffers: a case study of Huangpu River,China

Along with the continuous urbanization process, massive riparian buffers are developed to satisfy the increasing demands for flood protection and economic growth. Such changes of land use types and landscape patterns pose a significant challenge to the protection of the eco-system of urban rivers. This research concentrates on revealing the potential relation between the water quality of the urban river and land characteristics including land use types and landscape patterns of the riparian area and discusses if the relationship varies with spatial scales. The study area of this research are the 800 m riparian buffer of the six river water quality monitoring sections along Huangpu River. Based on the long-term monthly collection data of six monitoring points in Huangpu River, Shanghai, China, and the land use data of 100 m downstream of 1 km upstream of the monitoring point. Using landscape indicators, GIS spatial analysis, and statistical methods, the responses of land use and landscape patterns to water quality in different scales are obtained. Results show that: (1) Urban Land (UL) and Agricultural Land (AL) have an enormous negative contribution to each buffer, which is the primary non-point source pollution and influencing factor. (2) The active contribution of Wetland (WL) and Forestry Land (FL) is the most significant in the small range buffer of 0–200 m. (3) The negative effect of Industrial Land (IL) on water quality is only significant in the small buffer. (4) The effect of landscape pattern on water quality is more significant on the large spatial scale than the small scale. At the same time, this paper extends the conclusion to discuss the land use of the 800 m buffer zone of Huang River by using point to the area, proving that the research result is helpful for the political decision of urban management and provides suggestions for the land optimization of riparian buffers.
