Evapotranspiration management based on the application of SWAT for balancing water consumption: A case study in Guantao,China

Rapid social and economic development results in increased demand for water resources. This can lead to the unsustainable development and exploitation of water resources which in turn causes significant environmental problems. Conventional water resource management approaches, such as supply and demand management strategies, frequently fail to restore regional water balance. This paper introduces the concept of water consumption balance, the balance between actual evapotranspiration (ET) and target ET, and establishes a framework to realize regional water balance. The framework consists of three stages: (1) determination of target ET and actual ET; (2) quantification of the water-saving requirements for the region; and (3) reduction of actual ET by implementing various water saving management strategies. Using this framework, a case study was conducted for Guantao County, China. The SWAT model was utilized to aid in the selection of the best water saving management strategy by comparing the ET of different irrigation methods and crop pattern adjustments. Simulation results revealed that determination of SWAT model parameters using remote sensing ET is feasible and that the model is a valuable tool for ET management. Irrigation was found to have a greater influence on the ET of winter wheat as compared to that of maize, indicating that reduction in winter wheat cultivation is the most effective way to reduce regional ET. However, the effect of water-saving irrigation methods on the reduction of ET was not obvious. This indicates that it would be difficult to achieve regional ET reduction using water-saving irrigation methods only. Furthermore, selecting the best water saving management strategy by relying solely on the amount of reduced ET was insufficient, because it ignored the impact of water conservation measures on the livelihood of the agricultural community. Incorporating these considerations with our findings, we recommend changing the current irrigation method to sprinkler irrigation and replacing 20% of the winter wheat-maize cultivated area with cotton, as the best strategy to achieve water balance in the study area.     

1951—2005年中国大陆霾的时空变化

霾的出现有重要的空气质量指示意义.而雾的记录,有明确的天气指示意义.由于经济规模的迅速扩大和城市化进程的加快,中国大陆都市霾天气日趋严重.利用1951-2005年中国大陆743个地面气象站资料分析中国大陆霾的长期变化趋势,结果表明:霾的地理分布特点是,从1956年到1980年中国霾日都比较少,仅四川盆地和新疆南部超过50天;20世纪80年代以后中国霾日明显增加,到21世纪大陆东部大部分地区几乎都超过100天,其中大城市区域超过150天,与经济活动密切相关.霾日排在前10位的依次是沈阳、河北邢台、重庆市区、辽宁本溪、西安、成都、四川遂宁、湖北老河口、新疆和田、且末、民丰、四川内江,主要集中在辽宁中部、四川盆地、华北平原和关中平原地区,以及受沙尘暴影响较多的南疆地区.就中国大陆而言,12和1月霾天气日数明显偏多,2个月霾日数的总和达到了全年的30%;9月霾天气日数最少,约占全年的5%.具有藕日增加变化趋势的站点主要分布在中国的东部和南部,包括华北、黄淮、江淮、江南、江汉、华南以及西南地区东部,是中同东部一些经济和工业比较发达的地区.具有霾日减少变化趋势的站点主要分布在东北、内蒙古和西北地区东部.这些地方的经济和工业水平相对滞后,东北地区作为老工业基地,但近年来工业结构的调整和环境治理的改善使当地的霾日数逐渐减少.     

Climate change in the 21st century simulated by HadGEM2-AO under representative concentration pathways

We present climate responses of Representative Concentration Pathways (RCPs) using the coupled climate model HadGEM2-AO for the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 5 (CMIP5). The RCPs are selected as standard scenarios for the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report and these scenarios include time paths for emissions and concentrations of greenhouse gas and aerosols and land-use/land cover. The global average warming and precipitation increases for the last 20 years of the 21st century relative to the period 1986-2005 are +1.1°C/+2.1% for RCP2.6, +2.4°C/+4.0% for RCP4.5, +2.5°C/+3.3% for RCP6.0 and +4.1°C/+4.6% for RCP8.5, respectively. The climate response on RCP 2.6 scenario meets the UN Copenhagen Accord to limit global warming within two degrees at the end of 21st century, the mitigation effect is about 3°C between RCP2.6 and RCP8.5. The projected precipitation changes over the 21st century are expected to increase in tropical regions and at high latitudes, and decrease in subtropical regions associated with projected poleward expansions of the Hadley cell. Total soil moisture change is projected to decrease in northern hemisphere high latitudes and increase in central Africa and Asia whereas near-surface soil moisture tends to decrease in most areas according to the warming and evaporation increase. The trend and magnitude of future climate extremes are also projected to increase in proportion to radiative forcing of RCPs. For RCP 8.5, at the end of the summer season the Arctic is projected to be free of sea ice.

东北地区农业结构转型时期土地利用变化的成因与效应

During the last decade of the 20th century, extensive conversion in agricultural land use took place in Northeast China. The goal of this study is to ascertain its spatial distribution and regional differentiation, determine its causes, and analyze its environmental impact, Especially we attempt to elucidate how institutional constraints have facilitated the change at a time of agrarian restructuring when newly emerging free market was hybridized with the former planned economy. Information on six categories of land use was mapped from interpretation of Landsat TM images recorded in 1990,1995 and 2000. Most of land use changes took place during the first half of the decade, coinciding with abrupt and chaotic changes in government directives. Farmland was changed mainly to woodland,water body and built-up areas while woodland and grassland were converted chiefly to farmland.Spatially, the change from farmland to woodland was restricted to the west of the study area. The change from grassland to farmland took place in the grazing and farming interlocked west. These chaotic and occasionally conflicting changes were largely caused by lack of stability and consistency in agricultural land use policies promulgated. They have exerted adverse impacts on the local environment, including land degradation, increased flooding, and modified climate regime.

安徽铜陵凤凰山花岗闪长岩岩石学和矿物学特征及其地质意义

凤凰山花岗闪长岩与凤凰山铜矿床在成因上关系密切,通过对未蚀变花岗闪长岩中的角闪石和斜长石进行岩石学观察及详细的矿物成分分析,并利用角闪石-斜长石矿物平衡温压计反演角闪石、斜长石结晶时的温压条件,进一步探讨花岗闪长岩的形成条件及其成岩成矿意义。电子探针分析结果显示,角闪石分子中Si=6.37～7.16p.f.u.(p.f.u.为每单位晶胞),Mg/(Fe2++Mg)=0.63～0.76,Al(Ⅳ)T=0.84～1.63p.f.u.,属于镁角闪石和镁钙闪石。斜长石牌号An变化范围为:23～36,主要为更长石和中长石。通过角闪石-斜长石温压计的计算,得出早期角闪石结晶压力为446MPa～474MPa,对应的岩体侵位深度为14.72km～15.63km,结晶温度为1 066.39℃～1 070.55℃;晚期角闪石结晶压力为100MPa～191MPa,对应的岩体侵位深度为3.32km～6.32km,结晶温度为784.26℃～822.7℃。综合分析表明凤凰山花岗闪长岩是来自于深部幔源的岩浆沿断裂上侵至中下地壳(约15km),形成深部岩浆房,并发生结晶分异和同化混染作用,随后在构造扰动下,深部岩浆房中的岩浆沿构造薄弱面再次上侵至近地表(3km～6km),经冷凝固结形成的。矿物温压计算结果和区域地层学资料显示,自141 Ma以来,凤凰山矿区遭受剥蚀的主要是地层,岩体以及矿床的剥蚀程度较小,属于保存条件较为完好的成矿系统,而当前凤凰山铜矿勘探和开采深度不足1km,因此,深部具有较好的找矿前景。
