Fire Severity,Water Repellency Characteristics and Hydrogeomorphological Changes Following the Christmas 2001 Sydney Forest Fires

Soil water repellency can enhance overland flow and erosion and may be altered by fire. The Christmas 2001 bushfires near Sydney allowed investigation of the relationship between fire severity, water repellency and hydrogeomorphological changes. For two sub-catchments with differences in fire severities in Nattai National Park, south-west of Sydney, this paper considers: (1) the links between fire severity based on SPOT image analysis and ground observation of fire severity and repellency; (2) the textural and organic/minerogenic characteristics of eroded sediment; and (3) erodibility, erosion and deposition of soils in both catchments. Ground surveys show that image analysis reflects well the degree of vegetation consumption by fire, but cannot adequately predict the degree of ground litter consumption, associated soil heating and repellency effects. Fire had varying effects on repellency, leaving it unchanged, destroying it or enhancing it, depending on the soil temperature reached. The main post-fire hydrogeomorphological changes have been widespread erosion and colluvial and alluvial deposition of topsoil in foot-slope locations and river systems, but only localised redistribution of the highly erodible, repellent sandy subsurface layer. The fire did not trigger major geomorphological change in the study area, but fires probably cause important topsoil and nutrient depletion and may also affect water quality.     

层控夕卡岩型矿床成矿系统的元素活动性及质量迁移--以铜陵冬瓜山铜矿床为例

应用改善了的质量平衡方程研究冬瓜山层控夕卡岩型铜矿床成矿系统的元素活动性及质量迁移，结果表明：系统中Zr,Hf,Y和Nb为不活动元素，其余均为活动元素。主量元素中仅CaO为迁出组分，其质量迁移量为84％，其余均为带入组分，带入量最大的SiO2的质量迁移量高达2384％；稀土元素均为带入组分，其中，中稀土较轻稀土和重稀土的活动性更强；其它微量元素中，带入序列由强到弱为：Cr→Ta→Sn→Th，迁出序列由强至弱依次为：U→Sb→Ni—Sr→Ba→Bb→Co→W；成矿元素Cu和Ag为带入组分，其中Cu的带入量最大，质量迁移量高达1200％。本文还得出两点具普适性认识：①稀土元素较其它微量元素对体系条件的变化更为敏感，且往往表现出明显的规律性变化，能更好地示踪地质地球化学过程。②不同元素在不同体系中的行为特征差异极大，仅凭经验判定某一元素为不活动元素往往不可靠。因此，在开展质量平衡研究时，首先采用适当方法确认体系的不活动元素是一项不可或缺的前提工作。

合肥盆地中、新生代沉积相初步研究

合肥盆地是与大别山造山带有密切关系的山前前陆盆地，盆地中、新生界沉积物主要来自南面大别山区以及盆地东部、北部剥蚀区。通过野外实际踏勘、室内岩石薄片显微分析，认为合肥盆地中、新生界发育的沉积相主要有冲积扇相、河流相和湖泊相，其中以河流相最为发育。该盆地中、新生界油气源条件比较丰富，储盖条件良好，生储盖组合形式多样，存在多种油气圈闭类型，是一个油气勘探潜力较大的陆相沉积盆地。

云南省癌死亡率与土壤环境中化学元素的关系

癌病严重危害人类生命。研究表明：土壤环境中微量元素与肿病发生发展以及治疗相关，个别地区的地方病与元素含量关系密切。对土壤中元素含量研究证实：云南癌死亡率低于全国平均水平。文章详细讨论云南9种频发、52种常见癌症与元素的关系。     

陕北新庄地区延长组长2油层组储层特征

一般河道砂体的正粒序性决定了其下部物性条件优于上部，但新庄地区长2油层组河道砂体的物性特征截然相反，而是中上部物性条件好，下部物性条件普遍差。在储层岩石学特征、孔隙类型等研究的基础上，对此进行了探讨，认为造成其特殊性的原因主要是由于压实、胶结、次生加大等作用。指出河道边滩砂体中上部储层为该区的主力储层。     

京珠高速公路小塘至甘塘段煤系地层路堑高边坡稳定性分析与防治

京珠高速公路粤境小塘至甘塘段20m以上高度的煤系地层路堑边坡共计11处。岩层以全—强风化层为主,厚度20～40m,其物理力学性质大大降低,边坡可能发生平面破坏和圆弧破坏等2种破坏模式。部分地下水水质中SO2-4含量大于200mg l,具有强烈的硫酸盐侵蚀性。边坡防治对策应在详细勘察工程地质、水文地质的基础上,合理选用设置山坡截水沟、平台截水沟、泄水洞、边坡渗沟、排水仰孔等防、排水措施,减少地表水渗入坡体,疏干边坡表层地下水。     

SOIL CONSERVATION EFFICIENCY OF DIFFERENT MODELS CONVERTING FROM STEEP FARMING SLOPE PLOTS IN YA''''AN, SICHUAN, CHINA

Converting farming slope land into artificial forestland or grassland is a major measure of soil/water conservation. Five conversion practices, namely, 1) a control plot still tilled with a crop (maize), 2) a folder grass-growing plot seeded with Lolium perenne , 3) a young alder tree-growing plot, 4) a pear orchard plot and 5)a bamboo plot intercropped with folder grass, were monitored to compare the soil conservation efficiency of those changes in Ya'an, Sichuan for 3 years between September 1998 and August 2001. Results showed that the 5 designed converting models functioned differently in erosion control. The most effective model was bamboo groves intercropped with folder grass (Lolium perenne). The folder grass (Lolium perenne) growing model was more effective than the pure pear orchard model. The least effective model was the young alder tree-growing slope, which was even less effective than the control (a slope without converted cultivation). Meanwhile, changes in the soil's physical properties r
