Landslides - Due to climate change, extreme rainfalls happen more frequently with different patterns. Biochar and plant roots can affect soil water retention curve (SWRC) and hence slope stability.... 相似文献
This study assessed temporal variation in soil erosion rates in response to energy consumption of flow (ΔE). It employed an in situ bank gully field flume experiment with upstream catchment areas with bare (BLG) or cultivated land (CLG) that drained down to bare gully headcuts. Water discharge treatments ranged from 30 to 120 L Min−1. Concentrated flow discharge clearly affected bank gully soil erosion rates. Excluding minimal discharge in the CLG upstream catchment area (30 L min−1), a declining power function trend (p ≤ 0.1) was observed with time in soil erosion rates for both BLG and CLG upstream catchment areas and downstream gully beds. Non-steady state soil erosion rates were observed after an abrupt collapse along the headcut slope after prolonged scouring treatments. However, as the experiment progressed, ΔE and energy consumption of flow per unit soil loss (ΔEu) exhibited a logarithmic growth trend (p < 0.1) at each BLG and CLG position. Although similar temporal trends in soil erosion and infiltration rates were observed, values clearly differed between BLG and CLG upstream catchment areas. Furthermore, Darcy–Weisbach friction factor (f) values in the CLG upstream catchment area were higher than the corresponding BLG area. In contrast to the BLG upstream catchment area, lower ΔEu and higher soil erosion rates were observed in the CLG upstream catchment area as a result of soil disturbances. This indicated that intensive land use changes accelerate soil erosion rates in upstream catchment areas of bank gullies and increase soil sediment transport to downstream gullies. Accordingly, reducing tillage disturbances and increasing vegetation cover in upstream catchment areas of bank gullies are essential in the dry-hot valley region of Southwest China.
This work aims to quantify sulfate ion concentrations in the system Na2SO4-H2O using Raman micro-spectroscopy.Raman spectra of sodium sulfate solutions with known concentrations were collected at ambient temperature(293 K) and in the 500 cm1-4000 cm-1 spectral region.The results indicate that the intensity of the SO42- band increases with increasing concentrations of sulfate ion.A linear correlation was found between the concentration of SO42-(c) and parameter I1,which represents the ratio of the area of the SO42- band to that of the O-H stretching band of water(As/Aw):I1=-0.00102+0.01538 c.Furthermore,we deconvoluted the O-H stretching band of water(2800 cm-1-3800 cm-1) at 3232 and 3430 cm-1 into two sub-Gaussian bands,and then defined Raman intensity of the two sub-bands as ABi(3232 cm-1) and AB2(3430 cm-1),defined the full width of half maximum(FWHM) of the two sub-bands as WB1(3232 cm-1) and WB2(3430 cm-1).A linear correlation between the concentration of SO42-(c) and parameter I2,which represents the ratio of Raman intensity of SO42-(As)(in 981 cm-1) to(AB1+AB2),was also established:I2=-0.0111+0.3653 c.However,no correlations were found between concentration of SO42-(c) and FWHM ratios,which includes the ratio of FWHM of SO42-(Ws) to WB1 WB2 and WB1+B2(the sum of WB1 and WB2),suggesting that FWHM is not suitable for quantitative studies of sulfate solutions with Raman spectroscopy.A comparison of Raman spectroscopic studies of mixed Na2SO4 and NaCI solutions with a constant SO42- concentration and variable CI- concentrations suggest that the I\ parameter is affected by CI-,whereas the I2 parameter was not.Therefore,even if the solution is not purely Na2SO4-H2O,SO42- concentrations can still be calculated from the Raman spectra if the H2O band is deconvoluted into two sub-bands,making this method potentially applicable to analysis of natural fluid inclusions. 相似文献
