Spatial prediction of soil water content in karst area using prime terrain variables as auxiliary cokriging variable

In karst areas, accurately measuring and managing the spatial variability of soil water content (SWC) is very critical in settling numerous issues such as karst rocky desertification, ecosystem reconstruction, etc. In these areas, SWC exhibits strong spatial dependence, and it is a time and labor consuming procedure to measure its spatial variability. Therefore, estimation of this kind of soil property at an acceptable level of accuracy is of great significance. This study was conducted to evaluate and compare the spatial estimation of SWC by using ordinary kriging (OK) and cokriging (COK) methods with prime terrain variables, tending to predict SWC using limited available sample data for a 2,363.7 km² study area in Mashan County, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Southwest China. The measured SWC ranged from 3.36 to 26.69 %, with a mean of 17.34 %. The correlation analysis between SWC and prime terrain variables indicated that SWC showed significantly positive correlation with elevation (r is 0.46, P < 0.01), and significantly negative correlation with slope (r is ?0.30, P < 0.01); however, SWC was not significantly correlated with aspect in the study area. Therefore, elevation and slope were used as auxiliary data together for SWC prediction using COK method, and mean error (ME) and root mean square error were adopted to validate the prediction of SWC by these methods. Results indicated that COK with prime terrain variables data was superior to OK with relative improvement of 28.52 % in the case of limited available data, and also revealed that such elevation and slope data have the potential to improve the precision and reliability of SWC prediction as useful auxiliary variables.

贵州银厂坡银矿床蚀变过程中组分迁移特征

银厂坡银矿床碳酸盐化蚀变作用与银的矿化富集在空间上紧密相伴,这种蚀变作用导致矿石与围岩中组分有明显差异。本文通过定量计算阐明组分之间的迁移方向;计算表明在银的原生富集过程中,常量组分的带入与带出最不明显;而微量组分Ａｇ和Ｃｕ、Ｐｂ、Ｚｎ、Ａｓ、Ｓｂ、Ｃｄ、Ｇｅ带入围岩明显。在银的次生富集过程表现为Ａｇ和Ｃｕ、Ｐｂ、Ｃｄ、Ｇａ、Ｇｅ、ＲＥＥ、ＡｌＯ３、Ｆｅ２Ｏ３、ＭｎＯ、Ｋ２Ｏ、Ｐ２Ｏ５的强烈带入,以Ａｌ２Ｏ３、Ｆｅ２Ｏ３、Ｋ２Ｏ、Ｐ２Ｏ５带入强度最大,这是由于ＣａＯ、ＭｇＯ被淋滤,体积亏损造成强烈带入的假象,而Ａｓ、Ｓｂ、Ｚｎ、Ｖ、Ｃｒ、Ｃｏ、Ｎｉ、ＣａＯ、ＭｇＯ为自围岩中带出组分,以ＣａＯ、ＭｇＯ带出强度最大。ＲＥＥ除原生富集的弱蚀变白岩→矿化白云岩表现为带出外,其余原富集过程均表现为带入围岩。造成组分发生迁     

海拉尔盆地乌尔逊凹陷幔源CO2充注对下白垩统砂岩储层质量的影响

海拉尔盆地乌尔逊凹陷下白垩统含片钠铝石砂岩部分记录了幔源CO_2-砂岩相互作用历史.为揭示幔源CO_2充注对储层质量的影响,通过偏光显微镜、扫描电镜观察和孔隙度、渗透率数据研究了海拉尔盆地乌尔逊凹陷含片钠铝石砂岩的岩石学和储层特征.幔源CO_2的充注导致了长石的部分溶解和片钠铝石及铁白云石的沉淀.长石的溶解形成了次生孔隙.片钠铝石以针状晶形为特征,其集合体呈束状、簇状、扇状和玫瑰花状.部分片钠铝石呈板状.片钠铝石以充填孔隙为主,少量交代长石和其他骨架碎屑颗粒.片钠铝石局部被铁白云石交代,说明铁白云石的形成晚于片钠铝石.片钠铝石的含量为1%～20%.相同深度段的含片钠铝石砂岩(n=597,h=1309.15～2140.71m)与普通砂岩(n=1550,h=1323.72～2141.3m)的孔隙度、渗透率数据统计表明,含片钠铝石砂岩的物性整体上低于普通砂岩,说明CO_2的充注导致了储层质量的改变.片钠铝石含量-孔隙度和片钠铝石含量-渗透率之间的关系,揭示片钠铝石含量是引起储层质量改变的主要因素.片钠铝石含量10%似乎是储层质量发生变化的界限,当片钠铝石含量＞10%,随片钠铝石含量增加,砂岩的孔隙度和渗透率降低;当片钠铝石含量＜10%,随片钠铝石含量增加,部分砂岩的孔隙度和渗透率表现出增加趋势.作者认为,片钠铝石含量高的砂岩长期处于高CO_2分压成岩环境,而片钠铝石含量低的砂岩则处于高CO_2分压成岩环境的时间相对较短.     

黔中开阳磷矿沉积区震旦纪陡山沱期定量岩相古地理重建*

磷矿的沉积和成矿与成磷期的古地理环境密切相关。本文首次将“单因素分析多因素综合作图法”运用于开阳地区震旦纪陡山沱期沉积型磷矿床的成矿分析和找矿预测上。通过选取陡山沱组及其各岩性段的地层厚度及磷矿层品位作为单因素,确定开阳地区古地理格局;结合地层岩性组合、沉积特征等多因素综合分析,恢复开阳地区成矿期沉积环境,编制陡山沱早期、中期和晚期岩相古地理图。根据定量岩相古地理重建结果,认为开阳地区陡山沱期整体处于南靠黔中古陆、地势南高北低、局部地形复杂的滨岸海滩沉积环境,其中临滨带为最有利成矿带,局部地形变化也会造成矿层厚度、品位的差异;矿层受到的水流冲蚀、暴露、淋滤及再沉积作用是导致矿石品位显著提升的关键因素。通过定量岩相古地理学精确还原成矿期古地理环境、解析多期次沉积成矿过程,对于确定磷矿控矿因素、构建找矿预测模型和预测矿体空间位置具有重要意义。     

Diurnal Variations of Hydrochemistry in a Travertine-depositing Stream at Baishuitai, Yunnan, SW China

Diurnal variations of hydrochemistry were monitored at a spring and two pools in a travertine-depositing stream at Baishuitai, Yunnan, SW China. Water temperature, pH and specific conductivity were measured in intervals of 5 and 30 min for periods of 1 to 2 days. From these data the concentrations of Ca²⁺, HCO₃⁻, calcite saturation index, and CO₂ partial pressure were derived. The measurements in the spring of the stream did not show any diurnal variations in the chemical composition of the water. Diurnal variations, however, were observed in the water of the two travertine pools downstream. In one of them, a rise in temperature (thus more CO₂ degassing) during day time and consumption of CO₂ due to photosynthesis of submerged aquatic plants accelerated deposition of calcite, whereas in the other pool, where aquatic plants flourished and grew out of the water (so photosynthesis was taking place in the atmosphere), the authors suggest that temperature-dependent root respiration underwater took place, which dominated until noon. Consequently, due to the release of CO₂ by the root respiration into water, which dominated CO₂ production by degassing induced by temperature increase, the increased dissolution of calcite was observed. This is the first time anywhere at least in China that the effect of root respiration on diurnal hydrochemical variations has been observed. The finding has implications for sampling strategy within travertine-depositing streams and other similar environments with stagnant water bodies such as estuaries, lakes, reservoirs, pools and wetlands, where aquatic plants may flourish and grow out of water.
