Effectiveness of grass strips in trapping suspended sediments from runoff

Little information is available concerning the performance of grass strips for erosion control from steep cropland. An experiment was conducted on 5‐m‐long grass strips with slopes of 3°～15° that were subjected to silt laden runoff and simulated rainfall, to investigate the sediment trapping processes. The grass strips had three treatments including intact grass control (C), no litter (dead grass material covering the soil surface was removed) (NL), and no litter or leaves (only 2～3 cm grass stems and roots were reserved) (NLL). Generally the grass strips had a high effectiveness in trapping sediment from steep cropland runoff. Sediment trapping efficiency (STE) decreased with increasing slope gradient, and even for a 15° slope, STE was still more than 40%. Most sediment deposited in the backwater region before each grass strips. The removal of grass litter or/and leaves had no significant influence on STE. The sediment median size (D₅₀) in inflow was greater than that in outflow, and the difference (ΔD₅₀) decreased with increasing slope. A positive power relationship between STE and ΔD₅₀ can be obtained. Grass strips were more effective in trapping sediments coarser than 10 or 25 µm, but sediments finer than 1 µm were more readily removed from runoff than particles in the range of 2 to approximately 10 µm. Grass litter had less influence on flow velocity than leaves because the deposited sediment partially covered the litter layer. Mean flow velocity and its standard deviation were negatively correlated with STE, and they can help make good estimation of STE. Results from this study should be useful in planting and managing forage grass to effectively conserve soil loss by runoff from steep slopes on the Loess Plateau of China.

利用水合硅酸钠钙渣回收碱并用于制备硅灰石纳米粉体的实验研究

从高硅含铝原料霓辉正长岩中提取氧化铝时,硅以水合硅酸钠钙的形式排出。实验研究了水合硅酸钠钙渣的高效利用技术。利用水合硅酸钠钙自身的水解作用和在NaOH溶液中使之分解两种方法来回收其中的Na2O,所得NaOH溶液经蒸发浓缩后可循环利用。回收碱后剩余的固体渣用来制备硅灰石粉体。实验得出回收碱的优化条件为温度180 ℃,起始溶液的Na2O浓度为20 g/L,液固比为4∶1,洗涤6~7次。在此条件下,碱回收率可达90%以上。对回收碱后所得固体渣进行差热-热重分析,确定制备硅灰石粉体的煅烧温度。在820 ℃下煅烧2 h,制得颗粒尺寸为50~100 nm的α-CaSiO3纳米粉体,对其反应机理进行了初步的探讨。

Deep-seated structure and gold content of Russia and China contiguous territories

On the contiguous territories of southeastern Russia and northeastern China, many gold-bearing areas are conjugate in space with the gradient zones of the gravity field. Large gold-ore districts, defining in many respects the metallogenic signature of the region, are located on the joints of differently oriented gradient zones. In the best-studied districts, the Precambrian protrusions, staged distribution of magmatic chambers ( by vertical) above the Mohorovicic discontinuity and restriction to the peripheral parts of intrusive massifs have been recognized. Different-type gold deposits in the studied ore-placer districts and nodes are often located on the areas of joint of the granitoid massifs and subvolcanic bodieswith depressions. Availability of areals of metasomatic alterations of rocks, placers, and ore occurrences of precious metals on such but poorly studied areas can serve as the basis for the revision and detailed forecasting-prospecting works to develop the mineral-raw material base of the region for precious metals.     

风沙运动中MAGNUS效应的数值研究

在风沙运动中,跃移沙粒一般都会伴随高速旋转,同时引起一种升力效应,即Magnus效应。采用数值模拟的方法计算了0.1Re400,转速ω为100~1000 rev.s-1范围时均匀来流中单个球形沙粒受到的Magnus力,并与Rubinow和Keller推导的Magnus力公式进行了比较。计算结果表明,在0.1Re200范围内,升力和沙粒的旋转速度成正比,随雷诺数的增大而减小。同时,Magnus效应和固定沙粒在均匀来流中的流动结构也有关系,即计算结果和Magnus力公式的升力系数比K在沙粒流动是附体的时随Re数增加逐渐减小,在Re=20~30时达到最小值,然后在沙粒流动是对称分离的时K随着Re数增加逐渐增大。当雷诺数继续增大到超过200时,沙粒本身流动状态非对称所引起的升力超过Magnus效应产生的升力,但Magnus效应的作用也不可以忽略。根据计算结果,对Magnus力公式进行了修正。另外,还发现流场速度梯度与Magnus效应并没有耦合作用,速度梯度对升力的影响可以和Magnus效应线性叠加。     

梭梭幼苗死亡与土壤和大气干旱的关系研究

以古尔班通古特沙漠南缘沙漠中的一年生梭梭幼苗为研究对象,对环境气象因子、土壤含水率、幼苗根系垂直伸展状况、幼苗死亡动态进行了全生长期的连续监测研究。结果表明,尽管梭梭幼苗根系伸展迅速,当年可达1.5 m,幼苗死亡率动态变化仍然与土壤表层含水率显著相关,而与根区或深层含水率不显著相关。但统计分析结果显示,土壤表层含水率并不总是梭梭幼苗死亡率波动的主导因素。当土壤含水率低至0.82%时,无论大气干旱程度如何,幼苗死亡率都急剧升高;而当土壤含水率高于1.25%时,幼苗可以耐受大气干旱,幼苗死亡只与土壤表层含水率显著相关;当土壤含水率在0.82~1.25%之间时,幼苗死亡率与大气干旱程度（空气饱和差）显著相关。据此我们推测,当土壤表层含水率低于1.25%时,大气干旱主导死亡率的变化;反之,则土壤水分主导。     

北部湾沿海基本风压和阵风风压分析

利用北部湾沿海7个气象站建站至2008年最大风速资料,采用指数律风速廓线公式和"时次换算"方法订正最大风速,得到长年代10m高处10min平均年最大风速序列;采用极值I型分布估算北部湾沿海各地50年一遇最大风速,通过伯努利方程计算基本风压。结果表明:北部湾沿海的基本风压以涠洲岛最大,达1.13kN/m2;其次是东兴、北海,分别为0.59和0.58kN/m2;第三位是防城港和合浦,分别为0.49和0.47kN/m2;最小是防城和钦州,分别为0.39和0.33kN/m2,表明越靠近海的地方基本风压越大。利用建站至2008年的极大风速资料对北部湾沿海的阵风风压进行分析,发现阵风风压分布特点与基本风压相同,而且阵风风压比基本风压大,海岸区域的阵风风压约为基本风压的2倍,涠洲岛则是1.54倍。     

基于粮食安全的区域耕地压力研究——以辽宁省为例

运用"最小人均耕地面积"及"耕地压力指数"的概念和计算模型对辽宁省1997—2007年间耕地资源动态变化进行了定量分析,应用灰色系统GM(1.1)预测模型对未来15年耕地压力变化进行了预测,据此提出了耕地利用和保护对策。研究结果表明:辽宁省工业大发展以来,特别是老工业基地的振兴和城市化进程的加快,虽然占用了一些耕地,但耕地压力指数不仅没有加剧,反而呈现下降趋势,主要原因是耕地生产力在不断提高。科技进步以及生态建设的完善是未来减轻耕地压力、保障耕地、人口和粮食可持续发展的重要途径。
