New progress of research on water cycle in atmosphere in China

New progresses are introduced briefly about the water cycle study on atmosphere of China made in recent years. The introduction includes eight aspects as follows: 1) precipitation characteristics, 2) stability of climatic system, 3) precipitation sensitive region, 4) regional evaporation and evapotranspiration, 5) water surface evaporation, 6) vegetation transpiration, 7) cloud physics, and 8) vapor source.     

不同灌溉对阜康地区冬小麦产量及土壤水分动态变化的影响

根据阜康生态试验站试验小区1999－2000年冬小麦不同灌溉量控制试验，验证了冬小麦水分敏感期为拔节－灌浆期，探讨了该区冬小麦产量与灌水量之间的关系。提出了阜康地区冬小麦返青水应采用“小水”灌溉的方式。同时通过对小区冬小麦成熟期灌水过程不同深度土壤水分含量的动态观测分析，提出冬小麦在成熟期对灌溉水分的消耗利用集中在0－30cm土壤层内的观点。     

A darkling beetle population in West Texas during the 1997–1998 El Niño

We examined the abundance and distribution of Eleodes extricata (Tenebrionidae) in a semi-arid region of West Texas. During the 2-year study, climatic conditions were extreme but opposite, with 1997 being unusually wet and mild, and 1998 being unusually dry and hot. These conditions were associated with striking differences in the population structure of the beetles. Under identical pitfall-sampling efforts, we captured 1562 and 671 individuals in 1997 and 1998, respectively. Capture rates were lowest in grassland, and highest in sand shinnery oak, and within the latter, they were lowest in blowouts, intermediate along the edges of blowouts, and highest under vegetative cover. Sex ratios were consistently female-biased, and the degree of bias increased from spring through fall in both years. These increases were more pronounced in 1998, with the sex ratios of early and late sampling periods differing by over four-fold, from 1·15 to 5·00. Females were heavier than males, and the dry masses of both sexes increased from spring though fall in both years. As with sex ratios, these increases were more pronounced in 1998. Only the largest beetles survived the drought, illustrating how extreme conditions can exert especially strong directional selection, and affect sex ratios in populations with sexual size dimorphism.     

油藏描述中的小层划分与对比--以垦西油田K71断块东营组为例

结合研究实例，提出了根据成因地层学分析的储层地层单元分级以及充分认识沉积微相基础上的小层划分与对比；同时，依据钻井、测井资料，以环境水动力条件变化为基础总结出稳定型、分叉型、尖灭型、稳定 叠置型、叠置分叉型、叠置尖灭型等6种小层稳定性类型。     

威海-蓬莱活动构造分段

威海－蓬莱断裂带是山东半岛北部最重要的一条构造带，也是华北地区张家口－威海构造带的组成。通过东、西部侵蚀面高度统计、河长分形统计、河网密度统计和地震震中密度统计分析研究，表明断裂带具有东、西分段特征。西段自新构造晚期以来的活动性较强，是今后地震及其地地质灾害监测和防治的重要地段。     

胶东脉型金矿定量统计模型

胶东存在中深成和浅成两类脉型金矿。定量统计模型研究发现，形成于 挤压地球动力学环境的中深成脉型金矿，成矿深度相对深，规模大，矿化强，形成于拉张地球动力学环境的浅成脉型金矿，成矿深度相对浅，规模小，矿化弱。     

古吉黑造山带拼接带地球物理特征线

吉黑造山带拼接带的地球物理特征线，在重磁图上为伊通-吉昌-桦甸、贤儒-安图-开山屯一线。它分割了两种截然不同的地球物理场区，与两侧中元古宙-早三叠世不同的地质发育历史相呼应；和石炭-二叠系安哥拉与华夏植物地球区系的界线相一致。这是有别于前人而为更多新的地质资料所支持的新认识。     

青田山口叶蜡石传压介质初步研究

采用青田山口叶蜡石作为超高压高温合成金刚石的传压介质，分析了其主要化学成分和矿物组成。对青田山叶蜡石粉压块粒度效应进行了研究，确定了该传压介质的粒度组成。超高压高温人造金刚石试验表明，青田山口叶蜡石的传压介质理想，金刚石合成效果较好。     

生态旅游胜地—九顶山

对九顶山的生物景观，水体景观，地质遗迹景观，天然气景观和人文景观等方面进行了详尽的描述，并划分出平水河景区，云湖景区，楠木沟景区，紫岩山景区，白云山景区，仙女洞景区和天池景区等七个景区，从科学性，美学性，文化性以及区位条件和功能方面对景观进行了评述。进而提出了开发的初步构想。
