Do biological soil crusts determine vegetation changes in sandy deserts? Implications for managing artificial vegetation

Biological soil crusts (BSCs), which are widespread in arid and semiarid regions, such as sandy deserts, strongly influence terrestrial ecosystems. Once sand‐binding vegetation has been established on sand dunes, BSCs are colonized and gradually develop from cyanobacteria dominated crusts to lichen and moss dominated crusts on dune surfaces. We conducted this study to determine if the occurrence and development of BSCs in the Tengger Desert could be used to determine sand‐binding vegetation changes via altering soil moisture and water cycling using long‐term monitoring data and field experimental observation. BSCs changed the spatiotemporal pattern of soil moisture and re‐allocation by decreasing rainfall infiltration, increasing topsoil water‐holding capacity and altering evaporation. Changes in the soil moisture pattern induced shifting of sand‐binding vegetation from xerophytic shrub communities with higher coverage (35%) to complex communities dominated by shallow‐rooted herbaceous species with low shrub coverage (9%). These results imply that BSCs can be a major factor controlling floristic and structural changes in sand‐binding vegetation and suggest that the hydrological effects of BSCs must be considered when implementing large‐scale revegetation projects in sandy deserts.

The role of crust thickness in runoff generation from microbiotic crusts

Contrary to humid areas where runoff takes place following the saturation of the soil column, runoff in arid and semiarid zones takes place when rain intensities exceed the infiltration capability of the upper soil crust, whether physical crust or microbiotic crust (MC). This type of overland flow, known as Hortonian overland flow (HOF), is not fully understood, especially in the case of MC. In particular, little is known regarding the effect of crust thickness and its fine (silt and clay) content on runoff generation, with some scholars claiming that runoff generation is positively correlated with crust thickness and fine content. In an attempt to determine the effect of crust thickness and to assess the role played by the silt and clay on runoff generation, a set of field and lab experiments were undertaken on MCs inhabiting sand dunes in the Negev Desert (Israel). These included sprinkling experiments coupled with measurements of the physical (thickness, silt and clay) and biological (chlorophyll, protein, total carbohydrates) properties of 0.5–10‐mm‐thick crusts. The data showed that runoff generation took place on surfaces as thin as ~0.5–0.7 mm only, and was not correlated with the fine (silt and clay) content. The implications for HOF and for arid ecosystems are discussed. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

巴丹吉林沙漠拐子湖地表辐射与能量平衡特征

利用2013年7月、10月和2014年1月、4月巴丹吉林沙漠北缘拐子湖流动沙地地表辐射、土壤热通量、土壤温湿度和湍流通量等观测资料,分析了拐子湖地区地表辐射收支和能量通量在不同季节条件下的日变化特征及能量分配和闭合状况。结果表明:地表辐射各分量和能量平衡分量的月平均日变化结果整体均表现为标准的单峰型日循环形态,受不同季节影响,日变化曲线存在显著的季节变化差异,各分量均呈7月最大、1月最小、4月大于10月, 1月和7月的R_s↓、R_s↑、R_l↑、R_l↓、R_n日均值依次为98.9 W·m^-2和614.6 W·m^-2、34.6 W·m^-2和87.3 W·m^-2、276.9 W·m^-2和494.2 W·m^-2、214.8 W·m^-2和385.0 W·m^-2、0.4 W·m^-2和128.7 W·m^-2。与塔中、肖塘等地相比,该区域具有相对较高的地表反照率,整体呈冬季高夏季低,年均0.34。1月和7月的H、LE、G₀日均值依次为4.7 W·m^-2和78.8 W·m^-2、0.3 W·m^-2和20.3 W·m^-2、2.9 W·m^-2和35.0 W·m^-2。从能量分配来看,研究区干旱的气候和极低的植被覆盖造成了各季节全天潜热通量占净辐射份额始终较小,白天以感热为能量的主要消耗形式,土壤热通量次之。此外,R_n于正午达到日峰值后逐渐减小,受辐射强迫升温的地面以感热形式对空气的热量输送却不断持续,而促使H/R_n日间始终保持明显的增长趋势。     

对内蒙古阿拉善西部地下水流向问题的新认识

内蒙古阿拉善西部的水文地质研究程度很低,关于地下水的来源和流向仍然存在各种不同的认识,需要在沙漠腹地补充钻探资料加以验证。本研究在前人调查成果的基础上,选择巴丹吉林沙漠及其周边的4个控制点进行了水文地质钻探,获得关键性的含水层分布和地下水位数据,对地下水流向问题提出了新的认识。分析结果表明,阿拉善西部广泛发育厚度50 m以上的第四系孔隙含水层,与新近系和白垩系砂岩含水层一起构成主要的地下水渗透介质,使区域地下水流具有连续性。地下水总体自东向西、自南向北流动,水力梯度介于0.8‰与7.9‰之间。在区域尺度上,断裂带对浅层地下水的作用并不显著。     

内蒙古巴丹吉林沙漠400年来大气沉降 Hg的湖泊沉积记录

Hg污染具有全球性,人类活动较少地区的湖泊沉积物对长距离输入的大气沉降Hg变化敏感。巴丹吉林沙漠中发育了约142个沙漠丘间湖泊,是研究大气沉降Hg记 录的理想材料。选择巴丹吉林沙漠东南部的宝日陶勒盖湖泊进行湖泊钻探,结合²¹⁰Pb_uns和¹³⁷Cs核素测年及THg沉积通量计算,重建了400年来巴丹吉林沙漠湖泊的THg沉积记录,并探讨了影响沙漠湖泊THg沉积的影响因素,评估了自然背景和人类活动的影响。结果表明：(1)沉积物中THg含量分布范围为1.5~17.5 ng/g,富集系数和沉积通量的分布范围分别为0.3~4.5和2.9~38.9 μg/(cm²·a)。 THg含量、富集系数和沉积通量均表现为在岩心上部近几十年富集。(2)近400年来,湖泊沉积物中背景THg(THg_岩石风化)通量变化相对稳定,主要受控于附近物源供给和区域风沙活动。大气沉降THg(THg _大气)通量自20世纪30年代以来呈逐渐增加的趋势,很大程度上反映了近几十年来人为源大气沉降THg的增加。但20世纪30年代以来岩心局部的大气沉降THg通量的峰值可能还受全球变暖和湖泊生产力增加 的影响,而20世纪30年代之前出现的峰值可能与“小冰期”冷期强烈的区域风沙活动有关。巴丹吉林沙漠湖泊400年来的THg_大气沉积通量变化与全球Hg产量和冰心中的大气Hg含量变化记录一致,是沙漠 地区大气沉降THg的可信纪录。

风向对半固定沙垄表面风速影响——以古尔班通古特沙漠为例

利用DETI可移动测风系统对古尔班通古特沙漠半固定沙垄表面风速进行实地观测,获取了主要风季不同风向条件下沙垄表面7个典型部位距离地表20 cm、40 cm、60 cm、100 cm和200 cm 5个高度的风速系列数据,系统研究风向对半固定沙垄表面坡面风速及风速廓线的影响。结果表明,迎风坡的气流加速和背风坡的风速降低现象在实际观测中得到证实,但受风向的影响甚大。垄顶风速放大率随入射角的增大呈指数关系递增,而背风坡风速占垄顶风速的比率则随入射角的增大呈线性关系递减。大角度入射气流速度变化主要受控于沙垄形态,小角度入射气流速度变化主要受控于地表植被状况。无论气流以何种角度入射,距沙垄表面20 cm高度气流的加速均较其他高度缓和。沙垄底部和坡中下部的风速廓线变化趋势基本一致,且呈较好的对数拟合关系;两坡中上部和垄顶部的对数拟合方程相关系数偏小;受回旋涡流的影响,风速廓线在背风坡上部有明显偏折,初步断定涡流中心在距地表40 cm左右的高度。
