Alpine Ecosystems of Northwest Yunnan, China： an Initial Assessment for Conservation

Implementing conservation actions on-the-ground is not a straightforward process,especially when faced with high scientific uncertainty due to limited available information. This is especially acute in regions of the world that harbor many unique species that have not been well studied,such as the alpine zone of the Hengduan Mountains of Northwest Yunnan (NWY),a global biodiversity hotspot and site of The Nature Conservancy’s Yunnan Great Rivers Project. We conducted a quantitative,but rapid regional-level assessment of the alpine flora across NWY to provide a broad-based understanding of local and regional patterns of the alpine flora,the first large-scale analysis of alpine biodiversity patterns in this region. Multivariate analyses were used to classify the major plant community types and link community patterns to habitat variables. Our analysis indicated that most species had small distributions and/or small population sizes. Strong patterns emerged with higher diversity in the more northern mountains,but beta diversity was high,averaging only 10% among sites. The ordinations indicated that elevation and geographic location were the dominant environ-mental gradients underlying the differences in the species composition among communities. The high beta diversity across the alpine of these mountains implies that conservation strategies ultimately will require the protection of large numbers of species over a large geographical area. However,prioritiza-tion should be given to areas where potential payoffs are greatest. Sites with high species richness also have a greater number of endemic species,and,by focusing efforts on these sites,conservation investments would be maximized by protecting the greatest number of unique species.     

华南大陆东部若干构造问题的思考

华南大陆的结构、属性、过程与动力学一直是地质学家关注的热点。本文以钦杭构造带东段为主要研究地区,通过精细的构造解析、变质变形研究、年代学分析,结合反射地震剖面,探讨了华南大陆东部几个科学问题。（1）江南造山带形成于新元古代华夏板块与扬子板块的“软碰撞”作用,可划分为扬子板块南缘、扬子—华夏汇聚带和华夏板块北缘3个构造单元,江南断裂带和武夷山—遂昌断裂带分别为江南造山带的北界和南界。（2）扬子—华夏板块汇聚带由多个小板块拼合而成,其间有多条缝合带,大约900 Ma开始汇聚,760 Ma全面闭合,850~780 Ma为活动高峰期,具有递变式的汇聚拼合过程,由南向北发展,先斜向俯冲,后右旋走滑,最晚集中在中部活动。（3）华南大陆东部为中生代奠定的构造格架,主要构造为一系列北东走向褶皱和逆冲断层,大量地壳范围内的叠瓦状逆冲推覆构造,由南向北逆冲,可下切到中—下地壳。（4）华南大陆燕山晚期区域性伸展构造广泛发育,存在“华南热隆”构造,震旦系内的滑覆构造典型,同期大规模岩浆活动、火山活动和大规模的热液成矿。（5）华南大陆构造演化为：850 Ma扬子—华夏板块递进式汇聚,760 Ma全面拼合,江南造山带形成;600 Ma华南大陆盖层发育;430 Ma钦杭构造带受南部构造影响;220 Ma钦杭构造带受北部远程构造影响;160 Ma逆冲推覆构造产生;140 Ma大规模伸展,构造-岩浆-成矿关系密切;随后江南持续隆升,华南强烈热隆。     

短波红外光谱技术在西藏尼木地区岗讲斑岩铜-钼矿床中的应用

为进一步探明岗讲斑岩铜-钼矿床蚀变和矿化结构,有效指导下一步勘查工作,利用短波红外光谱技术对矿床内典型剖面上的4个钻孔进行了系统的测试分析.共检测到绢云母类、高岭石类、绿泥石类、硫酸盐类和碳酸盐类等蚀变矿物,其中尤以绢云母类矿物最为发育.对绢云母进行短波红外光谱测试分析显示:在靠近矿体的位置,有较大的伊利石结晶度(≥1.5)和较小的绢云母Al-OH吸收位置(≤2 205 nm);而在远离矿体的位置伊利石结晶度和绢云母Al-OH吸收位置分别为0.8~1.2和2 207~2 209 nm.同时,铁氧化物强度值与氧化矿体的出现具有同步性.表明短波红外光谱的这些特征参数有助于进一步理解岗讲斑岩铜-钼矿床蚀变和矿化结构,有效识别成矿流体性质,有潜力成为该矿区及其他类似矿区有效的找矿指标.     

华中榴辉岩带地球化学和年代学研究

根据地质产状，华中高压超高压变质带中的榴辉岩可划分为与超基性岩伴生的P类和与片麻岩、斜长角闪岩等伴生的G类。它们具有不同的地球化学特征，但均为大洋基性火成岩经复杂成分演化作用的产物。全岩-矿物Sm－Nd和颗粒锆石207Pb-206Pb年代学研究表明，超高压变质作用很可能发生在加里东期（480Ma）；而印支期（265Ma）则可能是超高压变质岩的后期高压退变质改造阶段。     

大别—苏鲁区UHP变质岩构造学及流变学演化

在大别—苏鲁区的30个关键位置,对UHP/HP变质岩进行详细构造解析、大比例尺(1∶10000)制图并在区域尺度上进行观察和对比,以便揭示它们的构造几何学、变形条件和流变学演化。初步的研究结果指出,广泛出露的UHP/HP榴辉岩相岩石形成一个巨大的UHP/HP变质带,提供了一个观察中朝与扬子克拉通之间三叠纪大陆深俯冲-碰撞带过程的窗口。观察的显微构造及组构指出,UHP/HP变质带内岩石变形机制,无论是在榴辉岩相阶段还是在榴辉岩相后阶段,都是以塑性流变为主,其力学行为和组构特征都受组成矿物的强度、强度差等流变学特征,以及变形物理环境如压力、温度、应变速率、差异应力和流体含量等的制约。在俯冲/碰撞带内的变形分解作用于岩石圈不同层次及不同的构造阶段都曾发生,而且,在不同尺度上,应变局部化形成具高应变的剪切带网络,且一般显示典型的布丁-基质或碎斑-基质构造及流变学型式。根据构造、岩石、变质作用及地质年代学资料,借助于岩石圈流变学基本原理,提出一个大别—苏鲁区UHP/HP变质岩石流变学演化的工作模式,它涉及早期扬子与中朝克拉通间三叠纪(~250~230Ma)大陆深俯冲/碰撞、UHP/HP变质岩形成,相继深埋岩石的多期折返。特别强调UHP/HP岩石向地壳表层的折返,主要是构造过程,地面侵蚀作用是次要的。

海洋资源环境承载能力超载阈值确定方法探讨

超载阈值是资源环境承载能力监测预警体系构建中的关键因子,其确定是当前资源环境承载能力评价方法研究中的重点和难点问题。本文首先分析了资源环境承载能力超载阈值的定义和内涵,结合国内外研究进展和国家发改委下发的《资源环境承载能力监测预警技术方法(试行)》,分析目前海洋资源环境承载能力评价采用的超载阈值确定方法及潜在的问题。试行方法主要是从海洋功能区划及环境质量标准的合规性,以及指标多年变化情况确定超载阈值,对资源环境保护与社会经济发展的关系协调考虑较少,评价方法的创新性以及评价结果的管理效能还较弱。本文还从海洋资源环境对于社会经济发展的限制性分析视角,探索构建区域差异性指标体系和更具科学性及管理适用性的超载阈值确定新思路。     

Exact solutions for one‐dimensional consolidation of single‐layer unsaturated soil

Based on the Fredlund consolidation theory of unsaturated soil, exact solutions of the governing equations for one‐dimensional consolidation of single‐layer unsaturated soil are presented, in which the water permeability and air transmission are assumed to be constants. The general solution of two coupled homogeneous governing equations is first obtained. This general solution is expressed in terms of two functions psi₁ and ψ₂, where ψ₁ and ψ₂, respectively, satisfy two second‐order partial differential equations, which are in the same form. Using the method of separation of variables, the two partial differential equations are solved and exact solutions for three typical homogeneous boundary conditions are obtained. To obtain exact solutions of nonhomogeneous governing equations with three typical nonhomogeneous boundary conditions, the nonhomogeneous boundary conditions are first transformed into homogeneous boundary conditions. Then according to the method of undetermined coefficients and exact solutions of homogenous governing equations, the series form exact solutions are put forward. The validity of the proposed exact solutions is verified against other analytical solutions in the literature. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Exact solutions for one‐dimensional transient response of fluid‐saturated porous media

Based on the Biot theory, the exact solutions for one‐dimensional transient response of single layer of fluid‐saturated porous media and semi‐infinite media are developed, in which the fluid and solid particles are assumed to be compressible and the inertial, viscous and mechanical couplings are taken into account. First, the control equations in terms of the solid displacement u and a relative displacement w are expressed in matrix form. For problems of single layer under homogeneous boundary conditions, the eigen‐values and the eigen‐functions are obtained by means of the variable separation method, and the displacement vector u is put forward using the searching method. In the case of nonhomogeneous boundary conditions, the boundary conditions are first homogenized, and the displacement field is constructed basing upon the eigen‐functions. Making use of the orthogonality of eigen‐functions, a series of ordinary differential equations with respect to dimensionless time and their corresponding initial conditions are obtained. Those differential equations are solved by the state‐space method, and the series solutions for three typical nonhomogeneous boundary conditions are developed. For semi‐infinite media, the exact solutions in integral form for two kinds of nonhomogeneous boundary conditions are presented by applying the cosine and sine transforms to the basic equations. Finally, three examples are studied to illustrate the validity of the solutions, and to assess the influence of the dynamic permeability coefficient and the fluid inertia to the transient response of porous media.
