冬小麦拔节期灌溉防霜冻效果研究

以矮抗58为研究对象,在冬小麦拔节期设置灌溉与未灌溉两种水分处理,通过对无霜冻年份(2012年)和晚霜冻年份(2013年)的对比试验,分析晚霜冻害对冬小麦群体密度、干物质积累、产量及其构成要素的影响,探讨拔节期灌溉的防霜效果。研究结果表明:1)孕穗-抽穗期发生晚霜冻害可使冬小麦群体密度下降、产量显著降低。2012年的产量整体高于2013年的,且2012年未灌溉处理的产量显著高于2013年灌溉处理的(P0.05);受霜冻影响,2013年灌溉与未灌溉的成熟期密度分别比抽穗期下降11.8%和14.8%,地上部分总干物质重先显著下降而后逐渐恢复,和抽穗期相比其下降幅度分别为18.5%(灌溉)和33.7%(未灌溉)。2013年成熟期叶片干重占地上部分总干物质重比例为43.5%(灌溉)和41.0%(未灌溉),显著高于2012年的16.3%(灌溉)和4.1%(未灌溉)。2)无论是否有霜冻害发生,拔节期灌溉均可显著提高产量,灌溉处理产量分别比未灌溉处理的偏高16.3%(2012年)和24.5%(2013年)。霜冻年份拔节期灌溉处理可显著降低穗粒数损失和抽穗期以后叶面积指数的衰减速度。3)2013年灌溉处理较2012年灌溉处理减产23.6%,未灌溉处理较2012年未灌溉处理减产32.9%。拔节期灌溉能够有效减少霜冻造成的产量损失,但这主要是由水分增加所引起,抽穗期的冬小麦抗霜能力并没有提高。     

Weapons of the vulnerable? A review of popular resistance to climate adaptation

Climate adaptation is not a neutral or apolitical process, but one that ignites social resistance. Government responses to risks of floods, droughts, or hurricanes – even those using a language of participation – might follow historical development pathways, strive to maintain the status quo, and directly or indirectly serve elite interests. Little attention has been paid to how people defy or resist top-down adaptation processes, overtly or covertly, in particular cultural, historical, and legal contexts. Drawing on sociological thought on popular resistance, this paper systematises research on people’s resistance to climate adaptation by scrutinising the sites, repertoires, and consequences of such resistance. We identified overt and covert resistance in 56 scientific adaptation articles, which concentrated on 5 ‘sites’ of resistance: Rural livelihoods, Urban informal settlements, Islands, First Nations, and Institutional landscapes. The findings imply that resistance to adaptation occurs globally, and not least in the context of relocation processes and participatory adaptation. We show how a resistance lens can help understand contemporary political behaviours, shed light on dynamic and compound vulnerability, and’unlock’ more context-sensitive and even transformative adaptation. Meanwhile, resistance and popular movements are not only progressive, and there might be conceptual barriers to moving from resistance to transformation or reconciling resistance with actions by or with the state.     

The Effect of Spatial Correlation of Cone Tip Resistance on the Bearing Capacity of Shallow Foundations

The effect of directional behaviour of correlation structure of cone tip resistance on the bearing capacity of shallow strip footing resting on cohesionless soil deposit in 2-D random field is analysed using probabilistic approach. The results obtained from the analysis show that the assumption of perfect (or infinite) correlation of cone tip resistance data leads to lower values of probability of failure. In contrast, the isotropic assumption of correlation behaviour based on vertical scale of fluctuation leads to higher values of probability of failure. The results also show that the transformation model would play a major role in the evaluation of variability of design property. In conclusion, the need for a proper evaluation methodology for calculation of correlation lengths of soil properties and their influence in foundation design is highlighted.     

“A Place of Pain and Gain”: Exploring the Dynamics of Resistance in the Creation of Sengwe Tshipise Wilderness Corridor,Southeast Zimbabwe

This article examines the relationship between place attachment and resistance during participatory planning of the Sengwe Tshipise Wilderness Corridor, located in southeast Zimbabwe, a region that falls within the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Conservation Area. Field research was conducted from July to December 2013 using 69 semistructured interviews, seven focus-group discussions, and analysis of secondary data. By following the dominant narratives articulated by villagers affected by this Corridor, we illustrate the multiple ways in which place attachment becomes part of everyday politics of resistance. Results show that a strong place-based identity is at the center of narratives deployed by villagers displaced by war, conservation, and veterinary fencing restrictions. Through deploying this place-based identity, communities collectively influenced both the spatial extent of the corridor and institutional governance arrangements. This article contributes to debates on the role of community agency in the implementation of transfrontier conservation areas.     

A CA-based land system change model: LANDSCAPE

Cellular automata (CA) models are widely used to simulate land-use changes because of their simplicity, flexibility, intuitiveness and ability to incorporate the spatial and temporal dimensions of processes. A small number of CA-based models have been developed to simulate changes in multiple land uses, most of which use the hierarchical allocation strategy and/or inertia factors to enable these CA models to do so accurately. However, only some of these models allow explicit determination of the allocation sequence for active land uses according to the hierarchical allocation strategy and the objective calculation of inertia factors. In this paper, we proposed a CA-based model, i.e. the LAND System Cellular Automata model for Potential Effects (LANDSCAPE), with a hierarchical allocation strategy and resistances, to simulate changes in multiple land uses. Furthermore, we introduced effective ways to objectively determine the allocation sequence for active land uses and calculate resistances for individual land uses. The results show that the LANDSCAPE model, with a calibrated allocation sequence and resistances, is reliable and accurate for simulating multiple land-use changes.

Frost-heave properties of saturated compacted silty clay under one-side freezing condition

In seasonally frozen regions, the frost-heave properties of soil play a significant role in its upper-structure performance and durability. To investigate the frost-heave behaviors of saturated, compacted silty clay soil widely used as subgrade material, a series of one-side freezing tests was carried out; and the freezing depth and frozen front effected by the compactness, temperature, overburden pressure, and water-supply condition were analyzed and discussed. The results show that the moving speed of the frozen front and growth rate of the frozen depth are positively correlated. The frost heave is maximum in the frost-heave stability condition. The frost ratio of saturated soil is proportional to the water supply and cooling temperature under a one-side freezing condition. The frost ratio of saturated soil is inversely proportional to the initial compactness of the soil specimen and the overburden pressure.     

The influence of microform bed roughness elements on flow and sediment transport in gravel bed rivers

Pebble clusters are reported widely as characteristic of gravel river beds and are known to influence the initial entrainment of bedload. A field assessment suggests that their distribution is not ubiquitous, favouring channel bars, but also reveals a tendency towards a preferred stream wise spacing. A series of laboratory flume experiments shows that flow resistance rises to, and falls from, a peak value as the longitudinal spacing of pebble clusters decreases, in a manner similar to that shown by others for strip roughness, isolated blocks, and simulated ripples and dunes. The experiments also reveal a strong inverse relationship between bedload flux rates and the flow resistance induced by the concentration of pebble clusters. It is concluded that pebble cluster spacing tends towards an equilibrium that is regulated by a feedback process involving sediment transport rates and that the spatial concentration of these microforms will adjust to the point where they induce maximum flow resistance.
