环青海湖地区天然牧草对水分条件的反应特性

本文利用铁卜加1987-1996年的气象、牧草资料，对环青海湖地区山地草原草场5种天然牧草在不同水分丰枯年份的生长、发育和产量形成状况进行对比分析，结果表明：环湖地区山地草原草场中紫花针茅、冷地早熟禾、干生苔草、猪毛蒿、天山赖草、杂草产量比例为8：15：15：16：18：28。5种天然牧草的发育期、生长高度和产量形成对水分条件表现出不同的反应，天山赖草最耐旱；干生苔草次之；猪毛蒿和紫花针茅的抗旱性相当；冷地早熟禾对水分条件的反应最为敏感。     

藏北高山嵩草草旬植被和多样性在沙漠化过程中的变化

为确定沙漠化对高山嵩草草甸植被组成、结构和物种多样性的影响，了解高寒区草甸沙漠化的原因，选择西藏那曲安多县南部沙漠化严重区域为调查区，按照沙漠化的不同程度设置样地，系统调查了轻度、中度、重度和极重度沙化草甸的植被变化，结果表明：中度、重度和极重度沙化区的植被与轻度沙化草甸有显著的差异；在中度和重度沙化区，高寒草甸的建群种高山嵩草已被家畜不喜食或更具抗性的植物种所取代，而在极重度沙化的流动沙丘上无植被生长；从过牧的退化草甸到半流动、流动沙丘，植物种多样性呈显著的降低趋势。轻度沙化草甸物种数、个体密度和丰富度指数最多；中度沙化草甸的Shannon-Wiener指数和均匀度指数最大，而优势度指数最小；在沙化过程中，高寒草甸的植被盖度显著下降，地上生物量也在下降，虽然轻度、中度和重度沙化草地的地上生物量显著高于极重度沙化区，但前者之间却无显著差异。地下根系生物量也呈显著下降的趋势。过牧是造成高山嵩草草甸沙化的主要原因。

干旱区高山-盆地系统深部水资源的赋存和估算——以河西走廊西段为例

现行西北地区水资源评价，是基于下列水文地质概念模型：（1）作为主要补给源地的山区，其与盆地之间存在“阻水屏障”；（2）山区形成的地下水基本上已全部汇入出山河谷，流向盆地绿洲，经实地勘探水化学同位素分析与资料研究，认为现行“模型”不符合地质实际。在引用国外高山区产流数值模拟成果的基础上，采用比拟法估算出研究区，由山区通过基岩向盆地绿洲作侧向补给的大致数量。新概念模型的建立，意味着西北高山－盆地系统的绿洲基岩不深处，赋存有相当数量以前未被计入的、可供开发的水资源。     

高山流域分布水文系统的研究—以意大利北部Ampezzan Dolomites Upper Boite

文章介绍在北意大利Ampezzan Dolomites的Upper Boite河的高山流域在山区水文学方面进行分布水文系统研究（Engelen和Vrnneker,1988,见本卷）的实例。文章对这个面积约200km^2、高程1800-3000m的范围作了概要的结论性分析。Upeer Booite流域的水文特征主要受较高部位的大片裸露的或植被稀少的白云岩和岩溶化的石灰岩分布区的控制。本区春及初夏形成融雪的洪水，由春到夏持续产生基流，夏秋的暴雨产生洪流，并在低处形成泥石流。较低区域（标高在1800－2000m以下）蒸散强烈而在水文上不敏感，只有在某些渗透性相当差的火山凝灰岩与泥灰岩坍塌出露区，随夏季洪流才产生大量悬浮物质。     

南、北半球的沙漠和沙漠化

世界自然地理图显示,除寒漠外全球大沙漠大部分位于热带。科学文献划分出极端干旱沙漠、半干旱沙漠和边缘沙漠带,但这些带之间的界线并非固定不变,并且常常受不同的观察者的主观和经验所影响。例如,相对于撒哈拉大沙漠区的居民来说,北美沙漠的许多地方似乎有很丰茂的植被。可见人们对于沙漠的理解有多大的相对性。

Fluxes of CO<Subscript>2</Subscript>, CH<Subscript>4</Subscript> and N<Subscript>2</Subscript>O from alpine grassland in the Tibetan Plateau

Using static chamber technique,fluxes of CO2,CH4 and N2O were measured in the alpine grassland area from July 2000 to July 2001,determinations of mean fluxes showed that CO2 and N2O were generally released from the soil,while the alpine grassland accounted for a weak CH4 sink.Fluxes of CO2,CH4 and N2O ranged widely.The highest CO2 emission occurred in August,whereas almost 90?of the whole year emission occurred in the growing season.But the variations of CH4 and N2O fluxes did not show any clear patterns over the one-year-experiment.During a daily variation,the maximum CO2 emission occurred at 16:00,and then decreased to the minimum emission in the early morning.Daily pattern analyses indicated that the variation in CO2 fluxes was positively related to air temperatures(R^2=0.73)and soil temperatures at a depth of 5 cm(R^2=0.86),whereas daily variations in CH4 and N2O fluxes were poorly explained by soil temperatures and climatic variables.CO2 emissions in this area were much lower than other grasslands in plain areas.     

CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> processes in an alpine grassland ecosystem on the Tibetan Plateau

In this paper, the CO2 concentrations profile from 1.5 m depth in soil to 32 m height in atmosphere were measured from July 2000 to July 2001 in an alpine grassland ecosystem located in the permafrost area on the Tibetan Plateau, which revealed that CO2 concentrations varied greatly during this study period. Mean concentrations during the whole experiment in the atmosphere were absolutely lower than the CO2 concentrations in soil, which resulted in CO2 emissions from the alpine steppe soil to the atmosphere. The highest CO2 concentration was found at a depth of 1.5 m in soil while the lowest CO2 concentration occurred in the atmosphere. Mean CO2 concentrations in soil generally increased with depth. This was the compositive influence of the increasing soil moistures and decreasing soil pH, which induced the increasing biological activities with depth. Temporally, the CO2 concentrations at different layers in air remained a more steady state because of the atmospheric turbulent milking. During the seasonal variations, CO2 concentrations at surface soil interface showed symmetrical patterns, with the lowest accumulation of CO2 occurring in the late winter and the highest CO2 concentration in the growine seasons.
