近40年天山冰川变化的遥感监测

Both marginal fluctuation and areal change were used to detect the accurate dynamics of glacier change in the study area using Landsat MSS, ETM, SPOT HRV and topographic maps based on GIS. From 1963 to 1977, four of eight glaciers advanced, two of them retreated and another two kept stable, the glacier advanced generally. From 1977 to 1986, four of eight glaciers retreated and the others kept stable, but the retreated glaciers were those which advanced from 1963 to 1977. From 1986 to 2000, seven of eight glaciers retreated and only one glacier kept stable, the retreating velocity was 10-15 m/a. Glacier recession in this period became very fast and universal. From 1963 to 2000, the area of glaciers decreased from 5479.0 ha to 4795.4 ha, up to 12.5%. It is alarming that most of glacier retreats happened from 1986 to 2000. This was very consistent with change process of summer mean temperature in this region and global warming beginning in the 1980s.     

陕南秦巴山区植被生态功能的价值测评

根据秦巴山区20世纪末植被类型及覆盖度的分布,在GIS支持下测定秦巴山区植被生产和生态调节的物质量。利用生态经济学方法,测定各类植被生态功能的价值,建立秦巴山区植被生态数据库及植被生态账户。生态服务功能价值测评中,充分考虑了不同类型的覆盖度差异,并结合能量平衡、水量平衡和区域蒸散模式,测评结果表明：陕南秦巴山区植被生态系统有机质生产价值为199.6×108 元/a;植被保持土壤经济价值为22.64×108元/a;植被涵养水源的经济价值为22.66×108 元/a;植被固定CO2价值为352.24×108元/a;释放O₂价值为374.19×108 元/a;陕南秦巴山区植被有机物生产、保持土壤、涵养水源、固定CO₂和释放O₂ 5种生态服务功能价值共968.33×108 元/a。其中温带落叶阔叶林贡献率最高占29.35%,亚热带竹林、亚高山灌丛、草甸草原、山麓果树生态服务价值比重均在1%以下。

U-Pb Zircon Dating of the Yeniutan Granitic Intrusion in the Western Sector of the North Qilian Mountains

Zircons from granodiorite and biotite granite in the Yeniutan granitic intrusion in the western North Qilian Mountains yielded a weighted mean 206Pb/238U apparent age of 460±3 Ma, suggesting that the intrusion originated during the late stage of plate subduction. Its related Ta'ergou and Xiaoliugou deposits are two of the few large tungsten deposits formed in the plate subduction environment in the world. The U-Pb dating of the zircons from the biotite granite gave a discordant lower intercept age of 183±4 Ma, which implies that the Yanshanian event was probably superimposed on the North Qilian region.     

Application of the Landsat-5TM Image Data in the Feasibility Study of Mudflow Hazards in the Southern Taihang Mountains

The Taihang Mountains area is an area in North China where serious mudflow hazards take place frequently. The hazards often obstrust traffic and make it difficult to carry out conventional ground investigations of the mudflow hazards. This paper introduces the feasibility study of mudflow hazards by using Landsat-5TM data. The study has achieved a great success through adopting both the faint spectral enhancement technique for mudflow fans (or other depositional areas) and comprehensive study of the environmental background of pregnant mudflows. Thus, remote sensing as a fast, convenient, low-cost and effective technical method can be used to recognise the situation of mudflow hazards so that effective rescue can be provided.     

六盘山典型植被类型土壤中石砾对大孔隙形成的影响

六盘山山区土壤中存在大量的石砾,对土壤大孔隙的形成具有重要影响。为了深刻了解和评价土壤中石砾对大孔隙形成的可能作用,本研究分析了六盘山典型植被类型下土壤中的石砾体积含量、大孔隙度变异以及石砾体积含量对大孔隙度、大孔隙半径与密度的影响。结果表明,石砾含量增加导致土壤大孔隙的平均半径和体积增大,特别是导致半径大于1.4 mm的大孔隙密度的增大,但对较小半径的大孔隙密度影响不大;总体上,石砾对土壤大孔隙度的形成影响随土深的增加而越来越明显,说明六盘山地区土壤的大孔隙明显同时受到生物因素和石砾含量因素的影响。     

Mountain Water Tower and Ecological Risk Estimation of the Mesta-Nestos Transboundary River Basin （Bulgaria-Greece）

The Mesta-Nestos river basin in Bulgaria and Greece is a case study for transboundary decision-making support in south-eastern Europe and a show-case for the development of methodologies and information-gathering for the integrated regional planning of water resources. Land-use conflicts in this water-scarce region cover a wide spectrum of activities like agricultural irrigation,drinking water production,diversions for industrial water,and risk of pollution from mining,to name a few examples. Measurements of the water quality were carried out in the upper basin. Results will be illustrated by the example of the environmental situation in the alpine region of the Pirin National Park as well as in the Razlog Basin with a stronger anthropogenic impact and pollution around a former uranium mine near the village of Ele?nica. The social and economic development of this transboundary region is a recently established priority for the future. It will mean an increase in water usage and more stress for the water resources if regional impacts of global climate change are verified. Problem-focused management of the catchment area as a whole on the basis of proved geo-data sets is needed for the future.
