荒漠人工固沙植被区土壤结皮斥水性发展特征

土壤结皮深刻影响绿洲边缘固沙植被区的土壤水文过程。土壤结皮斥水性是量化上述影响的潜在指标。采用滴水穿透时间（WDPT）法,研究了河西走廊荒漠边缘不同建植年限梭梭植被区固定沙丘土壤结皮斥水性的时间演变规律及影响因素。结果表明：建植20 a后,丘顶与丘间地土壤结皮出现显著斥水性（WDPT>5 s）,而丘坡土壤结皮无斥水性（WDPT<5 s）。丘顶土壤结皮斥水性与总有机碳、微生物量碳、有机碳C-H组分以及电导率显著相关（P<0.01）;而丘间地土壤结皮斥水性与黏、粉粒含量显著相关（P<0.01）。植被形成的“碳岛”及“盐岛”效应是丘顶土壤结皮斥水性形成的主要原因,而黏、粉粒在土壤表层的积聚是丘间地土壤结皮斥水性形成的主要原因。     

Modelling of electromagnetic fields in thin heterogeneous layers with application to field generation by volcanoes—theory and example

When interpreting electromagnetic fields observed at the Earth's surface in a realistic geophysical environment it is often necessary to pay special attention to the effects caused by inhomogeneities of the subsurface sedimentary and/or water layer and by inhomogeneities of the Earth's crust. The inhomogeneities of the Earth's crust are expected to be especially important when the electromagnetic field is generated by a source located in a magma chamber of a volcano. The simulation of such effects can be carried out using generalized thin-sheet models, which were independently introduced by Dmitriev (1969 ) and Ranganayaki & Madden (1980 ). In the first part of the paper, a system of integral equations is derived for the horizontal current that flows in the subsurface inhomogeneous conductive layer and for the vertical current crossing the inhomogeneous resistive layer representing the Earth's mantle. The terms relating to the finite thickness of the laterally inhomogeneous part of the model are retained in the equations. This only marginally complicates the equations, whilst allowing for a significant expansion of the approximation limits.
  The system of integral equations is solved using the iterative dissipative method developed by the authors in the period from 1978 to 1988. The method can be applied to the simulation of the electromagnetic field in an arbitrary inhomogeneous medium that dissipates the electromagnetic energy. When considered on a finite numerical grid, the integral equations are reduced to a system of linear equations that possess the same contraction properties as the original equations. As a result, the rate at which the iterative-perturbation sequence converges to the solution remains independent of the numerical grid used for the calculations. In contrast to previous publications on the method, aspects of the algorithm implementation that guarantee its effectiveness and robustness are discussed here.     

一种生物土壤结皮中蓝细菌(Microcoleus spp.)的分子鉴定

在从北京怀柔风沙防治技术示范区采集的沙样中,采用96孔板有限稀释法分离出的微生物,形态学初步鉴定分别为蓝细菌。进行PCR和测序后,利用GenBank中蓝细菌不同科、属种类序列进行分子系统分析、系统发育树及遗传距离分析,结果表明测序样品应为Microcoleus vaginatus和Microcoleus streenstrupii。     

我国生物地理学研究进展

生物地理学研究是生物学和地理学交叉非常明显的部门自然地理学学科,它具有很强的基础研究特点,同时研究成果也具有很大的应用潜力。近年来,我国生物地理学基础研究在国家自然科学基金委等部门的支持下,在山地植被与地理环境、干旱半干旱区植被与地理环境、植物区系、植物物候、土壤动物与土壤生态功能、土壤生物结皮等方面开展了全面而深入的研究。同时拓展了传统生物地理学的研究方向,在植物地理学与全球变化、植物地理学与生物多样性保护、植物地理学与生态系统管理等方面也开展了大量研究。尤为可贵的是干旱半干旱区土壤生物结皮研究、典型温带荒漠区原生荒漠植被对水分改变的响应与适应研究取得了令国内外关注的高水平研究成果。     

辽东半岛红色风化壳粒度分布特征浅析

运用贝克曼激光衍射粒度分析仪对辽东半岛大连市棋盘子村和龙王村的红色风化壳作粒度特征分析,粒度频率分布曲线的差异指示出两地风化壳风化程度较弱,风化不完全.结合X射线荧光光谱仪进行化学分析进一步探讨两地的风化特征,发现两地各自发育的母岩都具有不均一性,棋盘子村风化壳的发育与母岩具有同源关系,龙王村风化壳发育与母岩非同源.与南方红色风化壳比较,南方红色风化壳风化程度高于棋盘子村,且母岩具有均一性.     

The effects of extreme rainfall events on carbon release from biological soil crusts covered soil in fixed sand dunes in the Tengger Desert, northern China

In May to August of 2011, we assessed the effects of extreme rainfall (quantity and intensity) events on the carbon release from soils covered by different types of biological soil crusts (BSCs) in fixed sand dunes in the Tengger Desert, northern China. A Li-6400-09 Soil Chamber was used to measure the respiration rates of the BSCs immediately after the rainfall stopped, and continued until the respiration rates of the BSCs returned to the pre-rainfall basal rate. Our results showed that almost immediately after extreme rainfall events the respiration rates of algae crust and mixed crust were significantly inhibited, but moss crust was not significantly affected. The respiration rates of algae crust, mixed crust, and moss crust in extreme rainfall quantity and intensity events were, respectively, 0.12 and 0.41 μmolCO 2 /(m 2 ·s), 0.10 and 0.45 μmolCO 2 /(m 2 ·s), 0.83 and 1.69 μmolCO 2 /(m 2 ·s). Our study indicated that moss crust in the advanced succession stage can well adapt to extreme rainfall events in the short term.
