Alpine medicinal plant trade and Himalayan mountain livelihood strategies

Commercial alpine medicinal plants are collected from the wild by local rural households throughout the Himalaya and sold in order to increase household incomes. Recent studies indicate that this annual trade amounts to thousands of tonnes of roots, rhizomes, tubers, leaves, etc., worth millions of US dollars. The main market is in India. Based on a national survey, including the most commonly traded species, and a village study this paper investigates the importance of the alpine medicinal plant trade at national and local levels in Nepal. The national survey included standardized open-ended interviews with 232 harvesters, 64 local traders, 66 central wholesalers, 47 regional wholesalers, and 16 production companies. The village survey is based on the daily records of household activities in 15 households in a one-year period. The annual Nepalese alpine and sub-alpine medicinal plant trade is conservatively estimated to vary from 480 to 2500 t with a total harvester value of US$0.8–3.3 million; the average harvester value is estimated at US$66.0 ± 99.0. The trade in 1997/98 amounted to 1600 t with a harvester value of US$2.3 million and an export value equivalent to 2.5% of total export from Nepal. Medicinal plant harvesting was found to constitute an integrated part of local livelihood strategies, contributing from 3 to 44% (average of 12%) of the annual household income. Importance at household level depended on land and animal holdings, and the availability of adult male labour. The validity and reliability of methods and analyses is evaluated, and issues of conservation and management of alpine medicinal plant species under the community forestry scheme are discussed.     

大港油田盐山-庆云地区油气运移富集规律的研究

盐山-庆云地区具多凸多凹、地质条件复杂、多向供油（气）的特点。油气化探异常发育不平衡，具有成带分布、局部富集的特征。西部主要的轻烃（CH4）异常强，东部则是重烃（C2H6、C3H8）异常最发育，由西向东轻烃逐渐下降，重烃不断增加，非烃指标（Hg、△C）异常与重烃异常基本相拟，Ks、Fe^2 异常规律不明显。根据烃类指标的分带性，轻、重烃异常规律和富集特征划分为气显示带，油显示带和油气显示带。中部地区的即油气显示带是油气最有远景的地段。     

油气化探中甲烷碳同位素应用、存在问题与对策研究

阐述了在地表油气化探实践当中甲烷碳同位素对地表土壤烃气成因判别的有效性，但有时也会遇到判断错误的情况。通过对应用实例的分析，指出因忽略了土壤中异常甲烷是一种混合成因甲烷，从而导致判断失误。为全面解决这一问题，提出了同时选送数量相当的背景土壤样品和异常样品进行甲烷同位素测定，然后通过教学方法计算出真实反映来源于油气藏中的甲烷的碳同位素值的对策方案。     

TEM法在寻找煤矿突水巷道中的应用

在地质勘探中,TEM法体积效应影响小,探测深度大,对低阻反映灵敏,因此,其作为一种物探手段,已被广泛应用于地球物理勘探的各个领域。TEM法在煤矿突水巷道勘探中,曲线形态为高电位单峰异常,这个特征用于煤矿充水巷道探测准确度高,效果明显。     

烃类物质微渗漏机制及垂向运移的数值模拟

在前人烃类物质微渗漏机制研究基础上，建立了烃类物质微渗漏的概念模型，并且推导了烃类物质垂向运移的动力学模型。在动力学模型的基础上，通过数值模拟验证了烃类物质胶体气泡上升机制的合理性，并计算了不同情况下烃类物质垂向运移的平衡时间，进一步验证了烃类物质气泡上升机制满足运移速度快、流量少的特点。     

The Role of Organic Matter During Metal Enrichment in Permian Kupferschiefer of the Rudna Mine,Southwest Poland

The bulk composition of organic matter and saturated and aromatic hydrocarbons extracted from 16 samples collected from two Kuperschiefer profiles in the Rudna mine,Southwest Poland has been analyzed to study the role of organic matter during base metal enrichment in the Kupferschiefer shale.The results indicated that the extract yields and saturated hydrocarbon yields decreased with increasing base metal contents.GC and GC/MS analyses indicated that n -alkanes and alkylated aromatic compounds were depleted and may have served as hydrogen donators for thermochemical sulfate reduction.The enrichment of base metal is closely connected with the destruction of hydrocarbons.     

鄂尔多斯盆地中部油气聚集区带地球化学特征研究

鄂尔多斯盆地中部存在明显的、东西方向的地球化学异常区带，异常区带有异常范围大、强度高和分布有序等特征，是地下油气信息的反映。从化探烃类指标浓度变化、比值特征和三维荧光图谱特征等方面对异常进行了研究，并结合本区的构造特征和石油地质条件对异常的形成进行了分析，证实了化探异常的形成与盆地中部的大型东西向构造带和东西向气聚集区具有密切的关系，对天然气的勘探具有参考价值。     

辽河盆地东部凹陷原油的碳同位素组成特征

通过对辽河盆地东部凹陷原油的饱和烃、芳烃的碳同位素组成特征、原油同位素类型和单体烃同位素特征进行研究 ,发现整个东部凹陷原油及其组分的碳同位素值偏重 ,指示其源岩有机质中藻类和低等水生生物的贡献较少 ;饱和烃—芳烃的碳同位素值关系揭示东部凹陷大部分原油样品与沙河街组沙三段烃源岩的特征相近 ,而南部和北部地区少数样品表现出负的碳同位素异常 ,与该区中生界源岩样品的接近 ,推测原油中可能混入了中生界来源的油气。南部地区各样品的碳同位素类型曲线和单体烃的碳同位素曲线均相似 ,揭示了两者具相同的油气来源。北部地区各原油样品的单体烃的碳同位素类型曲线间具有相似的分布特征 ,但茨榆坨地区的原油样品的碳同位素值比牛居地区的系统偏轻 ,可能是成熟度相对较低引起的 ,表明茨榆坨地区原油具有早期成藏的特征。原油的碳同位素组成特征是研究油气来源和成藏特征分析的一种重要手段。     

烃类垂向微渗漏及其地表异常显示

烃类以微泡、水动力、扩散和渗透方式向地表迁移过程中,其效能、方式与油气藏的盖层、断裂与裂隙系统、储层的流体性质、地层压力等地质因素密切相关.通过对塔里木盆地雅克拉凝析气田上的地表、井中化探资料与地质资料的综合分析,认为该气田的井中垂向地球化学特征、控制烃类垂向微渗漏地质因素、地表化探异常显示之间呈现出很好的内在联系.
