A comparison of forest fire indices for predicting fire risk in contrasting climates in China

The relationships between fire danger indices and fire risk have been extensively studied in many regions of the world. This work uses partial effect analysis in semiparametric logistic regression models to assess the nonlinear relationships among location, day, altitude, fire danger indices, normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), and fire ignition from 1996 to 2008 in four different climatic regions in China. The four regions are North China (NR), Northeast China (NE), Southeast China (SE), and Southwest China (SW). The three main results are as follows: First, different fire danger indices are selected as significant variables dependent on the region. The inter-regional difference could be partially explained by difference in local weather and vegetation conditions. Second, spatial location exerts highly significant effects in all four regions. NDVI values are selected as explained variable for NR, NE, and SE on fire ignitions. On a daily scale, altitude influences fire ignition for NR, SE, and SW. Third, the robustness of the probability models used in NE, SE, and SW is better than that in NR on a daily scale. The semiparametric logistic regression model used in this study is useful for assessing the ability of fire danger indices to estimate probabilities of fire ignition on a daily scale. This study encourages further research on assessing the predictive ability of fire danger indices developed at other temporal and spatial scales in China.

Palynological records of Holocene monsoon change from the Gulf of Tonkin (Beibuwan), northwestern South China Sea

Palynological records in cores C4 and B106 from the Gulf of Tonkin reveal signals of paleo-monsoon and paleoenvironmental change during the late Pleistocene and Holocene. Before ∼ 13.4 cal kyr BP, the Gulf of Tonkin was exposed to the atmosphere and covered by grassland. Starting at ∼ 11.7 cal kyr BP, the Gulf of Tonkin was inundated by brackish water, indicated by the appearance of the brackish algae Cleistosphaeridium, Sentusidinium and Spiniferites, a decrease of herb content, and an increase of Pinus. After Hainan Island was completely separated from the Leizhou Peninsula by Qiongzhou Strait at ∼ 8.5 cal kyr BP, a continuous marine sedimentary environment was found. The current patterns were similar to those of the present, with a general trend of current homogenization reflected by gradually decreasing quantities of Quercus pollen and a narrowing gap between the palynological concentrations of the southern and northern parts of the region. The data suggest that three short periods of strengthened winter monsoons and currents were centered at ∼ 6.0 cal kyr BP, ∼ 2.7 cal kyr BP and ∼ 0.2 cal kyr BP and that two short periods of strengthened summer monsoons and currents were centered at ∼ 7.5 cal kyr BP and ∼ 3.4 cal kyr BP.

采自陕豫交界秦岭群中的榴辉岩主要由石榴子石和绿辉石组成，同时还含有少量的角闪石和金红石。本工作由四个单矿物和全岩五个样，测得Sm－Nd等时年龄为400±16Ma，（r＝0．997575），εNd＝十3．6，说明在加里东期北秦岭造山带发生过高压变质事件。     

东秦岭造山带花岗岩类长石铅同位素组成及其构造学意义

本文对东秦岭造山带内２７个花岗岩类央体４８件长石样品进行了铅同位素成分的测定，结果表明，本区的南秦岭不同时代花岗岩类以贫铀铅和钍铅为特征，具有明显的铅同位素块体效应，反映它们属地同一个铅同位素构造－地球化学省；而本区的北秦岭区岗岩类从晚元古代到早古生长，长石铅同位素组成以富铀铅和钍铅的为特征，但从晚古生长开始，花岗岩类长石铅同位素组成明显发生变化，以贫铀铅和钍铅为特征，反映晚古生长及其后形成花岗质     

青金石中有序结构畴与无序结构畴交生的畴结构新类型

在黝方石、蓝方石的青金石等富含（ＳＯ４）＾２－的方钠石族矿物的有序结构中,常见有沿着一个或几个方向的结构调制,并还常伴随出现反相畴、双晶畴等畴结构。通过透射电镜研究,作者在产于俄罗斯南贝加尔的青金石中,观察了到了一种由尺度都很小（长径约在１０ｎｍ以内）的有序结构畴与无序结构畴相互交生的畴结构新类型。其畴界弈曲而不规则,但相邻畴的晶格都是相互连续而完全共格的。这种畴结构是由无序青金石在其有序化过程的

Regional differences in the relationship between climatic factors,vegetation, land surface conditions,and dust weather in China’s Beijing-Tianjin Sand Source Region

This paper analyzes the regional differences in dust weather and its relationship with climatic factors and vegetation cover, using data at 27 observation stations in the Beijing-Tianjin Sand Source Region from 1960 to 2007. There was a decreasing trend in dust weather in the southeast, which was correlated with wind and temperature. In contrast, in the northwest, the number of dusty days did not decrease and was significantly correlated with precipitation and vegetation cover. These results suggest that, in addition to the climate and underlying conditions, physical geographic conditions also influenced the frequency of dust weather.

利用自行搭建的激光诱导离解光谱仪分析54块新疆、青海、俄罗斯产地的透闪石白玉样品,提出通过检测Be、Al元素来区分白玉产地的方法。使用波长1064 nm的激光器激发样品,4CCD光谱仪采集光谱,为避免外界条件干扰,以透闪石白玉中含量比较固定的Si元素作为内标元素测量原子谱线强度比值IBe/ISi、IAl/ISi,分别代表Be、Al元素的含量变化,重复测量10次的相对标准偏差(RSD)<3%。结果表明,新疆白玉的IBe/ISi为0.3～0.6,IAl/ISi为0.1～0.4;青海白玉IBe/ISi<0.1,IAl/ISi<0.2,显示出低Be低Al的明显特征;俄罗斯白玉的IBe/ISi分为高值和低值两个区域,部分样品的IBe/ISi>0.7,指示Be的含量较高,另一部分样品的IBe/ISi为0.1～0.5,略低于新疆白玉。研究显示Be、Al元素特别是Be元素具有较好的产地指示意义,激光诱导离解光谱技术用于鉴别白玉产地有着较好的推广前景。
