Recent trends of temperature change under hot and cold desert climates: Comparing the Sahara (Libya) and Central Asia (Xinjiang, China)

According to trend computations at three stations each in Sahara desert (Libya), characterized by a “hot” desert type (“BWh”, according to the Koeppen climate classification), and in Central Asia (Xinjiang, China) identified as a “cold” desert type (“BWk”, after Koeppen), increasing annual temperatures were detected over the period 1955-2005 corresponding with global temperature warming. From 1955-1978, negative (decreasing) temperature trends were, however, observed at all three hot desert stations and at two of the three cold desert stations. From 1979-2005, strikingly positive temperature trends were seen at all six stations. In seasonal respects, winter (December to February) and summer (June to August) show different temperature trends over the period 1955-2005: the hot desert experienced an increasing temperature trend at a greater extent in summer than in winter; vice-versa, in the cold desert positive trends were computed for winter and negative for summer. It can also be observed that mostly hot desert warming occurred in summer, opposite to cold desert warming in winter.     

1949～2007年新疆人口的时空变化及空间结构分析

采用GIS、系统聚类、地统计学等多种方法探讨了1949～2007年新疆人口的时序变化特征、空间分布规律以及空间结构.结果表明,新疆人口具有明显的时空变化特征和空间结构:新疆每年新增28.17×104人,人口数量的年均增长速率较大,达到6.50%.北疆的人口密度为46.97 ×/km2,明显高于南疆(13.37人/km:...     

环新疆经济圈视角下新疆主体功能区划分研究

环新疆经济圈是以中国新疆为中心区域构建的经济圈,为新疆主体功能区的划分和建设提供了全新的视角.从资源承载能力、开发密度和发展潜力三大方面选择指标,利用因子分析等现代统计分析方法,在调研数据的基础上实证研究新疆主体功能区的划分问题,并以县级区域为单位将新疆划分为重点开发区、限制开发区、禁止开发区和战略后备区.基于环新疆经济圈视角做出的新疆主体功能区划分结论为当前新疆实施的跨越式发展和跨国区域经济合作提供了重要的参考依据.     

西北干旱区耕地扩张原因的实证分析

近10余年来,在全国耕地面积持续减少的背景下,西北干旱区的耕地面积却明显增加.区域耕地的这一逆向变化,不仅改变了中国的耕地分布格局,同时也加剧了西北干旱区的水资源冲突和荒漠化进程.现有研究中,西北干旱区的耕地扩张往往被理解为区域人口增长、技术进步、政策激励的结果,但这些认识主要来自于统计相关分析和经验判断,还缺乏必要的...     

Impact assessment and protection of outstanding landscape integrity in a natural heritage site: Fairy valley, Kanas Nature Reserve, Xinjiang, China

The essential purpose of the Convention Concerning the Protection of World Cultural and Natural Heritage is to protect the integrity of heritage values. Outstanding landscape is the core embodiment of the aesthetic value of a natural heritage site. This paper proposes a new assessment method from the point of view of the protection of heritage values. It is used to measure the degree of outstanding landscape integrity under the human and natural impact in natural heritage sites. This paper employ three indices, a visual index of outstanding landscape, a harmony index of the artificial landscape and a disturbance index of damaged landscape, to measure the impact of landscape integrity. The impact assessment model is based on a weighted combination of the three indices. The study site is the Fairy Valley, Kanas Nature Reserve, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in northwest China. The information employed is derived from field investigation and a Digital Elevation Model (DEM). A comprehensive evaluation of the Fairy valley was undertaken and it was determined that the outstanding landscape values are being compromised. Three protection methods are proposed to reduce the adverse effects and maintain landscape quality, thereby providing site managers with suggestions for the protection of natural heritage values. More broadly, the paper contributes novel methods of landscape assessment applicable to natural protected areas.     

新疆伊宁县塔乌尔别克金矿地质特征及找矿标志

塔乌尔别克金矿赋存于下石炭统大哈拉军山组一套酸性—中酸性火山碎屑岩—熔岩建造中,矿体产出严格受断裂构造控制。矿体呈脉状、透镜状,倾角50°~70°。矿石以蚀变破碎安山岩型、斑岩型、含金隐爆角砾岩型和含金石英(方解石)脉型为主。成因与古火山机构、次火山岩有密切关系。一定的层位、断裂交会处、隐爆角砾岩及典型的蚀变为主要找矿标志。     

新疆金山沟巴塔玛依内山组火山岩及地球化学特征

早石炭世巴塔玛依内山组为一套陆相火山岩,下部以基性熔岩为主,上部以中酸性、酸性火山碎屑岩为主.岩石地球化学研究表明,区内火山岩呈高铝玄武岩-安山岩-英安岩-流纹岩钙碱性系列的演化趋势.从基性岩到酸性岩稀土模式相似,但铕负异常愈加明显.火山活动与金银矿成矿关系密切,玄武岩类、火山碎屑岩类Au、Ag、As含量较高,可能是成矿物源.
