腾格里沙漠南缘沙漠化逆转过程中的土壤物理性质变化特征

在腾格里沙漠南缘,应用空间代替时间的方法,选择了流动沙丘、封育5 a、封育15 a和封育25 a的恢复序列,研究了沙漠化逆转过程中的土壤物理性质变化特征。结果表明,腾格里沙漠南缘沙漠化逆转过程中,土壤含水率先降低后增大;土壤沙粒含量逐渐减少,土壤粉粒和粘粒含量逐渐增加;土壤容重逐渐降低,土壤孔隙度逐渐增大,表层土壤容重在封育恢复过程中逐渐减小,表层土壤孔隙度在封育恢复15 a后趋于稳定。研究认为,在腾格里沙漠南缘的沙漠化逆转过程中,沙化土地土壤性状不断提高、土壤结构不断改善;沙漠化逆转过程也是土壤的形成过程。

A hybrid genetic algorithm with local optimiser improves calibration of a vegetation change cellular automata model

Cellular automata (CA) models are commonly used to model vegetation dynamics, with the genetic algorithm (GA) being one method of calibration. This article investigates different GA settings, as well as the combination of a GA with a local optimiser to improve the calibration effort. The case study is a pattern-calibrated CA to model vegetation regrowth in central Victoria, Australia. We tested 16 GA models, varying population size, mutation rate, and level of allowable mutation. We also investigated the effect of applying a local optimiser, the Nelder?Mead Downhill Simplex (NMDS) at GA convergence. We found that using a decreasing mutation rate can reduce computational cost while avoiding premature GA convergence, while increasing population size does not make the GA more efficient. The hybrid GA-NMDS can also reduce computational cost compared to a GA alone, while also improving the calibration metric. We conclude that careful consideration of GA settings, including population size and mutation rate, and in particular the addition of a local optimiser, can positively impact the efficiency and success of the GA algorithm, which can in turn lead to improved simulations using a well-calibrated CA model.     

基于弱非线性RIDE模型的植物消浪数值模拟研究

通过基于考虑波浪非线性频散关系的椭圆型缓坡方程数学模型(RIDE),在原高阶的控制方程中添加植物阻力项,建立了模拟植物区波浪传播的数学模型(RIDE-VEG)。将计算结果与规则波在植物场中变形的水槽试验数据进行比较,验证良好,并分析了植物区特征参数对于波浪传播的影响。针对相对淹没度、植物密度和波浪周期等因素对波高衰减的影响进行敏感性分析,结果表明其三者对于消浪效果的影响是单调的,但消浪效果对于波浪周期的敏感程度则较其余二者为弱。与其他学者的研究相比,忽略流场效应的RIDE-VEG模型较其它的模型计算更为简便,且计算结果较为满意。     

用LAI监测植被信息分析飞蝗生境

东亚飞蝗自20世纪80年代以来在我国再度猖獗危害。本文选择国家一类蝗区河北省黄骅市为实验区,用植被冠层孔隙度反演了该地区不同植被的LAI。从光学模型建立机理及数量分析的角度,分析和对比了四种由植被冠层孔隙度反演LAI的算法。结果表明,在四种估算方法中LAI-2000算法最适用于研究区植被LAI的估算。为了验证分析结果,用实测的植被盖度与四种算法反演的LAI进行了拟合。发现LAI与植被盖度之间呈明显的正相关关系,且LAI-2000算法最能反映研究区的植被特征。在此基础上,建立了LAI与飞蝗发生面积的关系模型,发现两者之间呈负线性相关,即随着LAI的减小,飞蝗的发生面积呈线性增大。研究结果为实时、快速、大面积监测蝗虫种群动态奠定了基础,并为合理、经济地防治蝗灾提供了科学依据。     

Indicators of Great Basin rangeland health

Early-warning indicators of rangeland health can be used to estimate the functional integrity of a site and may allow sustainable management of desert rangelands. The utility of several vegetation canopy-based indicators of rangeland health at 32 Great Basin rangeland locations was investigated. The indicators were originally developed in rangelands of the Chihuahuan Desert. Soil resources are lost through wind and water-driven erosion mainly from areas unprotected by plant canopies (i.e. bare soil). Study sites in Idaho had the smallest bare patches, followed by sites in Oregon. The more arid Great Basin Sagebrush Zone sites in Utah had the largest bare patches. Several vegetational indicators including percent cover by vegetation, percent cover by life-form, percent cover by sagebrush, and percent cover by resilient species were negatively related to mean bare patch size and are potential indicators of Great Basin rangeland condition. Plant community composition and the range of bare patch sizes were different at sites in the three locations in Idaho, Oregon and Utah. Therefore, expected indicator values are location specific and should not be extrapolated to other locations. The condition of study sites were often ranked differently by different indicators. Therefore, the condition of rangeland sites should be evaluated using several indicators.     

中国温带昼夜增温的季节性变化及其对植被动态的影响

结合1982-2015年归一化植被指数（NDVI）、植被类型和气象数据,分别利用一元线性回归和二阶偏相关分析方法,揭示了中国温带地区的生长季不同季节昼夜增温的时空格局以及昼夜增温的不对称性对各类型植被活动的影响。结果表明：① 近34年来中国温带大部分地区季节性昼夜气温都存在显著的上升趋势;生长季昼夜增温速率呈现出不对称性,春季、夏季白天气温上升速度略快于夜间,秋季夜间增温快于白天;② 不同季节的昼夜增温对植被活动的影响呈现出明显的分异特征,相对于夜间增温,白天增温对植被活动影响程度更大,影响区域更为广泛;相比夏季和秋季,春季昼夜增温对植被活动的影响范围更广;③ 不同类型植被对昼夜增温速率的不对称性产生了不同的响应,并且在不同季节上的响应程度存在差异。     

Rule-based GIS-modelling for management purposes: A case study from the islands of Froan,Sør-Trøndelag,mid-western Norway

The coastal heath region along the western coast of Norway, dominated by Calluna vulgaris, is undergoing rapid change. Vegetation changes are caused by changes in management, including reduced frequency or abandonment of periodic heath burning and reduced cutting and grazing. The islands of Froan, in the outermost part of Sør-Trøndelag County in mid-western Norway, are dominated by coastal heath in a state of recession due to reduced traditional land use. The coastal heath is acknowledged as vulnerable and valuable by national environmental authorities, and local landscape management is supported by different national subsidies. The authors mapped the vegetation on Froan and used rule-based GIS-modelling to predict the relative potential for future vegetation changes. The model was based on a range of map layers, including management themes such as history of heath burning and peat removal, current practices of sheep grazing, and also themes derived from the vegetation map, such as soil nutrients, soil moisture and present management status. The resulting model output provides relative probabilities of future changes under different land-use scenarios, and highlights where management efforts should be focused in order to maintain the traditional landscape character.
