潮汐盐沼环境特点及高分辨率海面变化有孔虫标尺

潮汐盐沼是海洋边缘海环境的最边缘部分,是海陆过渡的真正边界。盐沼环境因素具明显的垂直分带性,各环境参数变化是典型的海洋或陆地不可相比的,盐沼坡度平缓,由海向陆的环境变化在这里分异清楚;沉积中垂向变化平面上得到极大的放大等。据国外研究,盐沼环境控制着有孔虫的特征和分布,利于盐沼有孔虫的垂直分带恢复古海平面变化,精确到±２０ｃｍ,甚至±５ｃｍ,这在海面变化、环境演变、全球变化研究上有重要意义。     

台湾海峡及邻近海域主要无脊椎动物食性特征及其食物关系研究

对台湾海峡及邻近海域14种主要经济无脊椎动物的胃含物进行了鉴定分析。结果表明:这些无脊椎动物对饵料生物无明显的选择性,均为混合食性。其食性类型可分为:游泳生物食性类型、游泳动物和底栖动物混合食性类型、底栖生物和浮游动物食性类型、底栖生物食性类型、浮游动物和游泳动物食性类型。10种甲壳动物和4种头足类的营养级范围分别为1.64～2.60级和2.04～2.88级。除周氏新对虾(Metapenaeusjoyneri)、角突仿对虾(Parapenaeopsiscornuta)和鹰爪虾(Trachypenaeuscurvirostris)属第二营养层次的杂食性动物外,其它的均属第三营养层次的肉食性动物。拥剑梭子蟹(Portunushaanii)、秀斑(Charybdisferiatus)、哈氏仿对虾(Parapenaeopsishardwickii)和杜氏枪乌贼(Loligoduvaucelii)的食物生境宽度较大,它们对各种饵料生物的利用更趋均衡。4种头足类之间、3种蟹类之间食物重叠显著。长尾类、短尾类、鱼类和腹足类是台湾海峡主要无脊椎动物营养层次能量传递中的关键功能类群。     

机载LiDAR数据估算样地和单木尺度森林地上生物量

利用机载激光雷达点云数据,结合大量实测单木结构信息,分别从样地和单木尺度估算了森林地上生物量AGB。首先,利用局部最大值单木提取算法提取了每个样地内的单木结构参数,并针对样地和单木尺度分别计算了一组激光雷达变量。然后,利用激光雷达变量和地上生物量及其两者的对数形式,从样地和单木尺度分别构建了估算模型。最后,针对两种尺度估算过程中存在的不确定性进行了详细讨论。结果表明:(1)样地和单木尺度模型估算的森林地上生物量与地面实测值都具有明显的相关性,且对数模型估算效果要优于非对数模型;(2)样地尺度模型估算效果(R2=0.84,rRMSE=0.23)明显优于单木尺度模型(R2=0.61,rRMSE=0.46);(3)按树木类型分别进行估算可以提高单木地上生物量的估算精度;(4)不论是样地还是单木尺度地上生物量估算都存在一定的不确定性,与样地尺度相比,单木尺度估算过程的不确定性更大,这种不确定性主要来自单木识别过程。     

Correlation between geology and radon levels in groundwater, soil and indoor air in Bhilangana Valley, Garhwal Himalaya, India

 Radon concentrations were measured in soil, air and groundwater in Bhilangana Valley, Garhwal Himalaya, India by using an LR-115 plastic track detector and radon emanometer. Radon concentrations were found to vary from 1 KBq/m³ to 57 KBq/m³ in soil , 5 Bq/l to 887 Bq/l in water and 95 Bq/m³ to 208 Bq/m³ in air. The recorded values are quite high due to associated uranium mineralization in the area. Radon concentration was also found to depend on the tectonic structure and geology of the area.

Development of wavelet network model for accurate water levels prediction with meteorological effects

Accurate water levels modeling and prediction is essential for safety of coastal navigation and other maritime applications. Water levels modeling and prediction is traditionally developed using the least-squares-based harmonic analysis method that estimates the harmonic constituents from the measured water levels. If long water level measurements are not obtained from the tide gauge, accurate water levels prediction cannot be estimated. To overcome the above limitations, the current state-of-the-art artificial neural network has recently been developed for water levels prediction from short water level measurements. However, a highly nonlinear and efficient wavelet network model is proposed and developed in this paper for water levels modeling and prediction using short water level measurements. Water level measurements (about one month and a week) from six different tide gauges are employed to develop the proposed model and investigate the atmospheric changes effect. It is shown that the majority of error values, the differences between water level measurements and the modeled and predicted values, fall within the −5 cm and +5 cm range and root-mean-squared (RMS) errors fall within 1–6 cm range. A comparison between the developed highly nonlinear wavelet network model and the harmonic analysis method and the artificial neural networks shows that the RMS of the developed wavelet network model when compared with the RMS of the harmonic analysis method is reduced by about 70% and when compared with the RMS of the artificial neural networks is reduced by about 22%. It is also worth noting that if the atmospheric changes effect (meteorological effect) of the air pressure, the air temperature, the relative humidity, wind speed and wind direction are considered, the performance accuracy of the developed wavelet network model is improved by about 20% (based on the estimated RMS values).     

渤、黄、东海高营养层次重要生物资源种类的营养级研究

利用2000年和2001年2次大面调查所收集的11970个胃含物样品分析结果,计算了黄海和东海生态系统高营养层次35个重要生物资源种类的营养级,同时,结合对渤海和黄海39个种类营养级历史数据的修正,讨论研究了我国海洋高营养层次生物资源种类营养级的研究策略和计算方法。主要研究结果为：(1)渤海重要生物资源种类营养级的变化范围为3．12～4．9,黄海为3．2～4．9,东海为3．29～4．55。近年来各海域高营养层次的营养级呈下降趋势,如渤海从1959年的4．1下降到1998～1999年的3．4,黄海从1985～1986年的3．7下降到2000～2001年的3．4;(2)高营养层次营养级波动主要是由于群落种类组成变化及单种类营养级年间波动引起的,而单种类营养级年间波动又直接与群体个体变小以及摄食食物的低营养层次化有关。因此,高营养层次的营养级变化是认识海洋生态系统生物生产动态的重要指标,需要对其进行长期和系统的监测;(3)建议在今后的研究中,根据简化食物网的概念,对占生物量绝对多数的重要生物资源种类的营养级进行重点研究并采用国际通用的标准划分计算营养级。

矿产地质勘查的层次性、投资规划及快速预查

探矿工程是一个逐步缩小工作范围、由浅入深、由表及里、逐渐加密的取样工程.地质勘查是分阶段、有层次进行的,按工作面积由大到小分为5个层次.文章探讨了每个工作层次的工作平台、主要工作内容、野外工作量和预期目标.根据投资经验统计,一个中小型矿床的勘查从选区申请立项到详查结束,用于纯地质勘查上的费用大体需要1330万元(选区-预查阶段130万,普查-详查阶段1200万元).认为项目建设与找矿前景评价应抓住3个关键:建立专家群体(快速选区)、建立和完善研判准则和流程(快速研判)、建立精干队伍野外调研(快速评价).建议组建3人快速勘查组半年完成野外预查:2个月完成地质、化探调查,2个月完成靶区验证.     

对天山山前地下水库开发利用的认识

针对天山山前三工河流域不同水文地质单元区的地下水动态分析人手,对流域大力开发山前地下水库,造成其水位持续下降对潜水溢出带环境的改变和水位最终保持稳定的现象进行探讨分析,结合流域生态环境趋于良性发展的现实,从保护流域生态环境和社会发展的角度出发,提出开发三工河流域山前地下水库必须保持潜水溢出带有相对较高的稳定水位,山前地下水库中心控制开采水位在数值上应不低于潜水溢出带处的地面高程。三工河流域40多年开发利用地下水的模式对流域社会经济发展和环境的贡献,可为相似于三工河流域的地区开发利用地下水资源提供借鉴和经验。
