中国岩溶作用产生的大气CO2碳汇的分区计算

根据中国岩溶碳汇计算的需要,将我国岩溶地区划分为南方岩溶区、北方岩溶区、青藏高原岩溶区和埋藏岩溶区4种类型区,各区的岩溶面积分别为56.48万km2、32.58万km2、55.60万km2和200.1万km2。各区岩溶水的径流模数和岩溶作用强度存在差异,南方岩溶区比其他区的岩溶作用强度明显大得多。以取得的调查监测和统计资料为依据,对4种类型区和中国的岩溶碳汇量进行了重新计算,南方岩溶区、北方岩溶区、青藏高原岩溶区和埋藏岩溶区岩溶碳汇量分别为1909.9万tCO2/a、600.5万tCO2/a、580.1万tCO2/a、608.6万tCO2/a,由此获得中国岩溶碳汇总量为3699.1万tCO2/a。该结果比前人的研究更全面地反映了当前我国岩溶地区碳水钙无机循环产生的大气CO2汇量。      

利用水化学方法识别岩溶水文系统中的径流

通过暴雨中的野外观测,确认了桂林丫吉试验场S31泉岩溶水文系统中多种径流形式：表层岩溶带管道流、回归流、坡面流和壤中流。现场测量发现不同形式径流的水化学特征(pH、电导率、Ca²⁺、HCO^-₃)存在差异,Ca²⁺的质量浓度相差最大可以达到3倍。从CaCO₃-H₂O-CO₂平衡体系来看,CO₂分压（p_CO2）对径流的水化学特征具有控制作用。在大气p_CO2影响下的岩溶水矿化度较低,而土壤空气p_CO2达到2.7%,是大气的近百倍,其影响的径流矿化度较高。鉴于大气中和土壤中p_CO2的显著差异,从水化学特征上将径流分为2类,并且认为它们构成了系统出口洪水的2个主要来源。在此基础上利用水化学方法计算出S31岩溶泉洪水时的径流构成。结果表明,在暴雨的情形,由大气p_CO2环境产生形成的岩溶水的比例占到泉水总量的70%,进一步证明了快速流在岩溶水中的重要作用。     

Inversion of ocean-bottom seismometer (OBS) waveforms for oceanic crust structure: a synthetic study

The waveform inversion method is applied—using synthetic ocean-bottom seismometer(OBS) data—to study oceanic crust structure. A niching genetic algorithm(NGA) is used to implement the inversion for the thickness and P-wave velocity of each layer, and to update the model by minimizing the objective function, which consists of the misfit and cross-correlation of observed and synthetic waveforms. The influence of specific NGA method parameters is discussed, and suitable values are presented.The NGA method works well for various observation systems, such as those with irregular and sparse distribution of receivers as well as single receiver systems. A strategy is proposed to accelerate the convergence rate by a factor of five with no increase in computational complexity; this is achieved using a first inversion with several generations to impose a restriction on the preset range of each parameter and then conducting a second inversion with the new range. Despite the successes of this method,its usage is limited. A shallow water layer is not favored because the direct wave in water will suppress the useful reflection signals from the crust. A more precise calculation of the air-gun source signal should be considered in order to better simulate waveforms generated in realistic situations; further studies are required to investigate this issue.     

岩溶洞穴内气候环境因子关系分析——以贵州省织金洞为例

织金洞为旅游洞穴,且洞内竖井以及裂隙较多,洞内封闭环境较差,因此随着洞外大气环境的变化和游客量的波动,存在夏秋两季洞内CO2浓度、湿度均高于冬春两季的现象。2015年1月至2016年1月经对织金洞内CO2浓度、气压、气温、湿度等气候环境数据进行相关性统计分析得出:夏秋两季气温与CO2浓度呈现负相关,相关系数r分别为-0.728 76和-0.656 16,冬春两季则呈正相关,两季CO2浓度与气温的相关系数r分别达0.854 52和0.938 46;洞内气候环境因子除湿度与温度的关系外,各环境因子间在SINE函数基础上拟合度较高,拟合度大部分处于0.6～0.8之间。洞内各气候环境因子的关系,经分析认为可能由于洞内外气流交换状况的季节性变化以及外界大气降水、洞内水量、上覆土壤CO2、游客量、照明设施等因素共同影响所致。      

岩溶生物地球化学研究的进展与问题

在CO2-水-碳酸盐岩活跃的代谢体系中,由于参与岩溶作用过程的二氧化碳来源复杂,因而研究碳酸盐岩环境中二氧化碳在生物介导下所耦联的物质循环过程及其与全球变化的关系成为岩溶生物地球化学学科的主要内容,并使其成为现代岩溶学的重要分支。在分析国内外岩溶学、地球化学、生物学等交叉学科研究成果的基础上,本文简要评述了基于岩溶生物地球化学特性的水土流失与石漠化过程,碳酸盐岩矿物在生物作用下的化学风化、元素释放规律以及控制元素循环的界面过程,碳酸盐岩区土壤－大气界面下的气体循环及其控制因素和过程,碳酸盐岩区有机污染物在环境中的来源、分布规律与降解,微型生物在岩溶水体碳循环过程中的作用等主题的主要研究进展和存在的科学问题。因此,需要以CO2为核心把岩溶环境中不同尺度上生物有机体参与的地球化学过程联系起来,但人们对生物有机体是如何通过协同作用而改变岩溶环境的,还了解得很少。如果能查明碳酸盐岩一土壤一水一生物相互作用产生的功能,岩溶生物地球化学将进一步拓展CO2-水-碳酸盐岩相耦合的岩溶作用过程,并在岩溶资源领域和全球变化领域有广阔的应用前景。因此,岩溶生物地球化学需要多学科的协同研究,特别是加强生物过程与岩溶过程的耦合研究,方能解决岩溶领域存在的生态环境问题。      

湖南大龙洞流域不同岩性不同土地利用类型条件下碳酸盐岩试片的溶蚀速率

选择湖南大龙洞流域寒武系中统熬溪组上段(∈2a3)白云岩、寒武系上统比条组下段(∈3b1)和奥陶系中统牯牛潭组(O2g)灰岩进行野外溶蚀试验,并测试林地和草地类型土壤剖面20cm、50cm深度土壤CO2浓度和有机质含量,以探讨林地、草地土地利用类型条件下试片溶蚀速率的差异特征。结果表明:(1)O2g、∈3b1和∈2a33种试片溶蚀速率在林地和草地土下20cm、50cm深度差异明显,∈3b1g灰岩林地土下20cm试片的溶蚀速率最大,达357.93mg/(m2?d);(2)试片溶蚀速率受岩性影响明显,CaO含量高,溶蚀速率大,O2g、∈3b1灰岩中CaO含量分别为35.38%、47.45%,较∈2a3白云岩的含量32.64%高,因而其溶蚀速率也较∈2a3的大;(3)埋放于林地土壤的试片其溶蚀速率大于草地,表明土地类型对溶蚀速率有较大的影响,植被从草地向林地的正向演替有利于岩溶作用的进行。      

中国公众CO2减排的支付意愿：来自4个省市的案例

利用非市场价值评估的方法——条件价值法,通过估算公众对CO₂减排政策的支付意愿,评估中国减缓气候变化政策的价值。利用从北京、上海、山东、福建4个省市收集的1653份有效调查问卷,建立支付意愿模型。结果表明,绝大部分参与者对CO₂减排政策持明显的支持态度,平均每人每年愿意支付201.86元人民币以支持减排行动。其中,北京地区的参与者CO₂减排的支付意愿最高,其次为福建和山东,上海参与者的支付意愿最低。模型显示,年轻、男性和中共党员参与者愿意支付较高的额度支持CO₂减排行动,收入水平高、对目前的生活状况满意、对气候变化问题有较好理解的参与者支付意愿也高。这一研究的政策启示是：中国低碳发展需要将公众对气候政策的支持意愿转化为切实的低碳行动,在设计碳税等减排机制时还要关注不同地区和收入群体在支付意愿和能力上的差异。     

Focal depth,magnitude, and frequency distribution of earthquakes along oceanic trenches

The occurrence of earthquakes in oceanic trenches can pose a tsunami threat to lives and properties in active seismic zones. Therefore, the knowledge of focal depth, magnitude, and time distribution of earthquakes along the trenches is needed to investigate the future occurrence of earthquakes in the zones. The oceanic trenches studied, were located from the seismicity map on: latitude +51° to +53°and longitude-160° to 176°(Aleutian Trench), latitude+40° to +53° and longitude +148° to +165°(Japan Trench), and latitude-75° to-64° and longitude –15° to+30°(Peru–Chile Trench). The following features of seismic events were considered: magnitude distribution, focal depth distribution, and time distribution of earthquake. The results obtained in each trench revealed that the earthquakes increased with time in all the regions. This implies that the lithospheric layer is becoming more unstable. Thus, tectonic stress accumulation is increasing with time. The rate of increase in earthquakes at the Peru–Chile Trench is higher than that of the Japan Trench and the Aleutian Trench. This implies that the convergence of lithospheric plates is higher in the Peru–Chile Trench. Deep earthquakes were observed across all the trenches. The shallow earthquakes were more prominent than intermediate and deep earthquakes in all thetrenches. The seismic events in the trenches are mostly of magnitude range 3.0–4.9. This magnitude range may indicate the genesis of mild to moderate tsunamis in the trench zone in near future once sufficient slip would occur with displacement of water column.     

Carbon dioxide fluxes and DOC concentrations of eroding blanket peat gullies

UK peatlands are affected by severe gully erosion with consequent impacts on ecosystem services from these areas. Incision into the peat can damage the vegetation and hydrology and lead to increases in carbon loss and sediment transfer downstream. Gullies represent then a conduit for and a hotspot of carbon loss but the relatively high water tables of gullies have meant that they have been identified as areas with a high restoration potential because of easily restored peat‐forming conditions. This study uses a series of gully sites, subject to different restoration interventions, to investigate differences in carbon pathways (DOC, CO₂) and hydrology between restoration strategies and gully position. The results show that the position within the gully (interfluve, gully side, or gully floor) does not significantly affect water quality but that it plays a significant role in CO₂ exchange. Gully floors are areas of high photosynthesis and ecosystem respiration, though net ecosystem exchange is not significantly different across the gully. While gully position plays a role in the cycling of some carbon species, this study highlights the importance of vegetation as a key control on carbon cycling.

盐土和碱土土壤无机CO2通量的分离

干旱区盐碱土无机CO₂通量是一个崭新、独特的科学现象,打破了土壤CO₂通量完全来自于有机源的假设;然而,盐碱土无机CO₂通量在土壤CO₂通量和全球碳循环中的重要性还缺乏分离和量化的依据,因而存在很大的不确定性。通过采用高压灭菌的方法,将盐土和碱土的土壤无机CO₂通量从土壤CO₂通量中分离。结果表明：高压灭菌方法并不改变土壤的理化性质,并通过土壤有机CO₂通量与温度的关系验证了分离方法的有效性,从而为盐碱土无机CO₂通量的分离、量化和评估提供了一个可靠有效的方法。盐碱土的土壤无机CO₂通量是土壤CO₂通量的重要组分,土壤无机CO₂通量的分离对精确解析干旱区盐碱土生态系统的碳循环是必要的;对盐碱土土壤无机CO₂通量的研究,将促进对干旱区盐碱土土壤CO₂通量和全球碳循环的理解。
