Dynamic Changes of the Bush Encroachment in Low Altitude Area of Ethiopia

Bush encroachment is widely distributed in arid and semi-arid regions, and it has a serious impact on livestock production, especially in Africa where livestock is a primary source for the livelihoods of many people. In this study, methods of supervised classification and decision tree classification, and indexes of a land use change significance index (Ci) and a single land use dynamic degree, were applied to remote sensing imagery of Ethiopia for 1986-2016. The results show the dynamic characteristics of grassland bush encroachment in low altitude areas (pastures <1500 m above sea level) of Ethiopia in the 30 year period studied. The results revealed several interesting features of this phenomenon. (1) The area of bush encroachment showed an increasing trend, with a maximum of 3.74×10³ km² in 2003, which represented 68.97% of the total area, and declined slightly from 2003~2016. (2) Among classification types, the area of severe shrub grassland was the largest, accounting for 28.36-49.10% of the total area, while the area of moderate bush encroachment accounted for 9.77-16.68%, and slight bush encroachment accounted for 5.52-7.57%. (3) The expansion rate of shrubby grassland was 0.74% for the 30 year period, while the average annual expansion rate was 2.16% for the 8 years from 1995-2003. (4) Forest land and grassland were the two main land use types of shrub grassland transformation in low altitude areas and bush encroachment changed large amounts of forest land into grassland due to shrub grassland management. The results of this study provide basic data for revealing the impacts of development processes on subsequent bush encroachment and can inform better management for the sustainable development of grasslands in low altitude systems.     

Acidity of Aerosols during Winter Heavy Haze Events in Beijing and Gucheng,China

We investigated the acidity and concentrations of water-soluble ions in PM_(2.5) aerosol samples collected from an urban site in Beijing and a rural site in Gucheng, Hebei Province from November 2016 to January 2017 to gain an insight into the formation of secondary inorganic species. The average SO_4~(2–), NO_3~–, and NH_4~+ concentrations were 8.3,12.5, and 14.1 μg m~(–3), respectively, at the urban site and 14.0, 14.2, and 24.2 μg m~(–3), respectively, at the rural site.The nitrogen and sulfur oxidation ratios in urban Beijing were correlated with relative humidity(with correlation coefficient r = 0.79 and 0.67, respectively) and the aerosol loadings. Based on a parameterization model, we found that the rate constant of the heterogeneous reactions for SO_2 on polluted days was about 10 times higher than that on clear days, suggesting that the heterogeneous reactions in the aerosol water played an essential role in haze events.The ISORROPIA II model was used to predict the aerosol pH, which had a mean(range) of 5.0(4.9–5.2) and 5.3(4.6–6.3) at the urban and rural site, respectively. Under the conditions with this predicted pH value, oxidation by dissolved NO_2 and the hydrolysis of N_2O_5 may be the major heterogeneous reactions forming SO_4~(2–) and NO_3~– in haze.We also analyzed the sensitivity of the aerosol p H to changes in the concentrations of SO_4~(2–), NO_3~–, and NH_4~+ under haze conditions. The aerosol p H was more sensitive to the SO_4~(2–) and NH_4~+ concentrations with opposing trends, than to the NO_3~– concentrations. The sensitivity of the p H was relatively weak overall, which was attributed to the buffering effect of NH_3 partitioning.

高精度曲面建模方法研究进展与分类

高精度曲面建模方法(HASM)作为新一代的曲面模拟方法,经过20多年的发展,其理论体系不断完善,算法体系不断丰富,应用领域不断拓广。然而,目前HASM方法尚未建立科学的分类体系,仅依据求解算法为标准进行简单区分,忽视了HASM所研究问题本质上的差异,阻碍了HASM方法在相关领域的进一步应用。为此,本文在总结HASM方法发展过程的基础上,按照研究问题的本质特点,以输入数据的类型为依据,将HASM分为空间插值方法和空间数据融合方法。其中,HASM空间插值方法是根据离散采样点得到目标曲面,而HASM空间数据融合方法则是融合多源数据,并综合各个数据源优势而得到新曲面的过程。该分类科学、合理,为今后HASM方法的进一步应用提供了理论指导。最后本文叙述了应用两种HASM方法求解问题时的一般步骤,同时还对两种方法的发展前景进行了展望。

屏幕扫描数字化是地图数字化的常用方法。在数字化过程中,由于地图本身的变形、扫描仪分辨率等系统误差会影响数字化的结果。仿射变换是实现栅格数据向矢量化数据转换的常用方法之一,研究表明基于最小二乘的仿射变换只可以消除整体变形,而不能消除局部变形。为此作者提出采用最小二乘配置。采用最小二乘配置可以在计算转换参数的同时估计局部系统变形信号,可以消除或减弱以上误差的影响,改善数字化精度。实例分析表明,是提高扫描数字化的有效方法。
