Hydrological and sediment yield response to summer rainfall in a small high Arctic watershed

In cold regions, the response and related antecedent mechanisms that produce flood flows from rainfall events have received limited study. In 2007, a small watershed at Cape Bounty, Melville Island, Nunavut, was studied in detail during the melt season. Two rainfall events on June 30 and July 22, totalling 9·2 and 10·8 mm, respectively, represented significant contributions to seasonal discharge and sediment transport in a year with a low winter snowpack. The precipitation events elevated discharge and suspended sediment concentrations to twice the magnitude of the nival melt, and generated the only measurable downstream lacustrine turbidity current of the season. In two days, rainfall runoff transported 35% of the seasonal suspended sediment load, in contrast to 29% transported over the nival freshet. The magnitude and intensity of the rain events were not unusual in this setting, but the rainfall response was substantial in comparison with equivalent past events. Exceptional temperatures of July 2007 generated early, deep permafrost thaw, and ground ice melt. The resultant increase in soil moisture amplified the subsequent rainfall runoff and sediment transport response. These results demonstrate the importance of antecedent moisture conditions and the role of permafrost active layer development as an important factor in the rainfall runoff and sediment transport response to precipitation events.

灌溉与施氮对黑河中游新垦沙地春小麦生长特性、耗水量及产量的影响

在黑河中游边缘绿洲新垦沙地设计大田试验,研究了不同灌溉量(估算春小麦生育期需水量的0.6、0.8、1.0倍)与施氮量(0、140、221和300 kg/hm2)对春小麦生长特性、耗水量及产量的影响.结果表明,灌溉与施氮对春小麦植株高度产生一定的影响,但其效果不明显.高灌溉量加大作物的耗水量,春小麦全生育期,高灌溉处理的耗水量比中等灌溉处理与低灌溉处理分别增加16.68%与36.88%.当施氮量小于221 kg/hm2时,增加施氮量可以提高地上部干物质量、单位面积粒数、单穗粒重与产量,从而提高水分利用效率(WUE);当施氮量大于221 kg/hm2时,高施氮量使大量干物质滞留于营养器官,导致成熟前物质的转移不充分,同时在土壤水分亏缺的条件下,高施氮处理加重干旱胁迫,从而使221 kg/hm2处理的地上部干物质量(4 159 kg/hm2)、单位面积粒数(3 774)、单穗粒重(259.42 mg)、产量(2 132.83 kg/hm2)与WUE(3.85 kg·mm-1·hm-2)在各施氮处理中最高.地上部干物质量、籽粒产量及产量构成要素随灌溉量的增加而增加.低灌溉处理的WUE显著高于中等灌溉处理与高灌溉处理处理,中等灌溉处理与高灌溉处理之间的WUE差异不显著.结果表明,低灌溉处理(春小麦全生育期灌溉量378 mm)与221 kg/hm2施氮是黑河中游边缘绿洲新垦沙地农田可以获得相对较高的经济产量与高WUE的最佳组合.     

老黑山盆地下白垩统穆棱组油页岩与煤含油率控制因素

我国陆相盆地内普遍存在油页岩与煤共生的地质现象。本文以老黑山盆地下白垩统穆棱组油页岩与煤为研究对象,基于工业分析（含油率、灰分、挥发分、全硫和发热量）和有机地球化学分析（有机碳、岩石热解、显微组分和生物标志化合物）,对油页岩与煤含油率的控制因素开展研究。根据含油率等工业品质特征,将研究区油页岩与煤进一步划分为高含油率油页岩（HOS）、低含油率油页岩（LOS）、高含油率煤（HC）和低含油率煤（LC）4种亚类。其中HC的总有机碳质量分数和生烃潜力最高,其次为LC、HOS和LOS,4种亚类的有机质类型以Ⅱ型干酪根为主,均处于未成熟的热演化阶段。沉积环境与有机质来源是控制油页岩与煤含油率的关键因素,HOS主要形成于陆源有机质供给中等的湖沼环境,而HC主要形成于陆源有机质供给丰富的泥炭沼泽环境。油页岩与煤形成时期的高等植物以松科、柏科/杉科、南洋杉科、罗汉松科和蕨类植物为主,这些植物可以提供充足的树脂和蜡质有机质,从而使油页岩与煤具有相对较高的含油率。     

靖边油区洛河组与安定组富水性研究

在靖边油区油井施工中,白垩系下统洛河组砂岩底部泥浆漏失概率42%～66%,而砂岩其它部位未出现漏水现象。侏罗系中统安定组与上覆洛河组呈角度不整合接触,古风化壳的存在使安定组顶部灰岩裂隙十分发育,最大漏失量达0.88m3/mm。故洛河组砂岩底部与安定组泥灰岩是靖边油区开发地下水的较佳部位。     

The carbon cost of agricultural production in the global land rush

Increases in the number of large-scale land transactions (LSLTs), commonly known as ‘land grabbing’ or ‘global land rush,’ have occurred throughout the lower- and middle-income world over the past two decades. Despite substantial and continuing concerns about the negative socio-environmental impacts of LSLTs, trade-off analysis on boosting crop yield and minimizing climate-related effects remains limited. Our study makes use of a global dataset on LSLTs for agricultural production to estimate potential carbon emissions based on different scenarios of land cover change and fertilizer use, as well as potential value of agricultural production on transacted land. We show that, if fully implemented on ∼ 38 M ha of transacted land, 2.51 GtC will be emitted during land conversion, with another 24.2 MtC/year emitted from fertilizer use, assuming farming technology of investors’ origin is adopted on transacted land. Comparison of different combinations of forest protection policies and agricultural intensification levels reveals that enforcing strict deforestation regulation while promoting fertilizer use rate improves the carbon efficiency of agricultural production. Additionally, positive spillovers of investors’ farming technology on existing arable lands of host countries can potentially double their crop yield. Our analyses thus suggest that fostering agricultural intensification and technology spillovers under strict regulation on land allocation to investors to protect forests would allow for boosting agricultural yield while minimizing carbon emissions.     

降雨的空间不均性对模拟产流量和产沙量不确定的影响

在传统的水文/水质模型中,降雨被认为是在空间上均匀分布并且对模型输出的不确定性不产生影响。本文的目的是评价由于降雨的空间分布不均匀性对模型输出-产流量和产沙量-不确定性的影响。本文选取卢氏流域为研究区域,使用SWAT模型和流域内24个雨量站的降雨作为模型的输入。基于降雨空间分布均匀的假定下,每次用一个雨量站的点雨量来作为流域的面平均降雨量,模拟的产流量和产沙量的不确定性来自于降水的不均匀性。模拟的产流量和产沙量的不确定性大于降雨的不确定性,结果表明,在运用水文/水质模型时,为了准确的模拟、预测产流量和产沙量必须掌握降雨的空间分布特性并将其应用于水文、水质模拟之中。     

土结构性对天然软黏土压缩特性的影响

天然软黏土普遍受到土结构性的影响,明确结构性对软黏土压缩特性的影响机制显得尤为重要。对两个天然软黏土原状样进行室内一维固结试验,得到的压缩曲线与已有文献中搜集的39个原状样压缩曲线进行比较。压缩曲线在对数坐标下均呈现倒S形,并存在明显的结构屈服压力。采用双对数坐标处理后,压缩曲线可由双直线较好地表示,易于确定固结屈服压力。41个原状样屈服后的压缩指数和屈服点含水率之间的定量关系,与基于重塑土定量公式计算的压缩指数与固结屈服压力下重塑土含水率的定量关系相一致。对比结果表明：天然软黏土屈服后的压缩特性取决于屈服时的含水率,而与土结构性无关,解释了天然土压缩曲线位于重塑土上方是由于对应屈服点含水率不同而引起的。     

考虑基础提离与塑性的桥墩地震反应

浅平基桥墩在承受强震作用时,其基础与地基之间会发生提离,地基土会进入塑性状态.精确模拟上述两个问题是非常困难的.本文分析中地基采用了能考虑基础提离及地基塑性的弹塑性Winkler地基模型,采用1940年El Centro(NS)地震记录作为输入,对三个不同高度的双柱式浅平基桥墩进行了非线性时程分析.研究结果表明,基础提离和地基塑性对双柱式桥墩的地震反应有很大影响.考虑地基非线性后,墩顶位移增大,剪力减小,对保护桥墩减小震害是有利的.
