“绿洲”概念小议

本文探讨了绿洲的概念，认为绿洲的内涵应扬４方面：（１）绿洲位于荒漠区；（２）水是绿洲存在的基础；（３）茂盛的植被是洲的主体景观；（４）地貌部及人类活动对绿洲发展与演变起着重要作用。     

铅在灰钙土土壤—植物系统与环境中的迁移和环境容量

本文通过作物盆栽试验、区域调查、农田径流和淋溶试验以及土壤生化活性和微生物试验,研究了铅在土壤、植物、水体中的迁移和累积,并通过迁移模式的计算得出了铅的土壤临界浓度和环境容量。     

塔克拉玛干沙漠中的古河道与地下水

塔克拉玛干沙漠中发育有众多的古河道，其密集区主要集中在大沙漠中部。不同河流的古河道，含水层岩性有明显差异，地下水的富水性也明显不同。但沿古河道，地下水富水性均较两侧好，水质也相对较好，多为淡水和微咸水，为在沙漠区寻找水资源提供了方向     

绿洲荒漠交界处波文比能量平衡法适用性的气候学分析

对广泛使用的计算蒸散和显热通量的气候学方法－波文比能量平衡法在绿洲荒漠交界处的适用性从气候学角度进行分析。结果表明,波文化－能量平衡法在干旱区绿洲的平衡层内是适用的,在平衡层外及荒漠上空却失效。因而,应用波文比能量平衡法估算绿洲上的蒸发与显热时,测点的位置是至关重要的。

Effects of surface characteristics on infiltration patterns in an arid shrub desert

Precipitation is often the sole source of water replenishment in arid and semi‐arid areas and, thus, plays a pertinent role in sustaining desert ecosystems. Revegetation over 40 years using mainly Artemisia ordosica and Caragana korshinskii at Shapotou Desert Experimental Research Station near Lanzhou, China, has established a dwarf‐shrub and microbiotic soil crust cover on the stabilized sand dunes. The redistribution of infiltrated moisture through percolation, root extraction, and evapotranspiration pathways was investigated. Three sets of time‐domain reflectometry (TDR) probes were inserted horizontally at 5, 10, 15, 20, 30 and 40 cm depths below the ground surface in a soil pit. The three sets of TDR probes were installed in dwarf‐shrub sites of A. ordosica and C. korshinskii community with and without a microbiotic soil crust cover, and an additional set was placed in a bare sand dune area that had neither vegetation nor a microbiotic soil crust present. Volumetric soil moisture content was recorded at hourly intervals and used in the assessment of infiltration for the different surface covers. Infiltration varied greatly, from 7·5 cm to more than 45 cm, depending upon rainfall quantity and soil surface conditions. In the shrub community area without microbiotic soil crust cover, infiltration increased due to preferential flow associated with root tunnels. The microbiotic soil crust cover had a significant negative influence on the infiltration for small rainfall events (～10 mm), restricting the infiltration depth to less than 20 cm and increasing soil moisture content just beneath the soil profile of 10 cm, whereas it was not as strong or clear for larger rainfall events (～60 mm). For small rainfall events, the wetting front depth for the three kinds of surface cover was as follows: shrub community without microbiotic soil crust > bare area > shrub community with microbiotic soil crust. In contrast, for large rainfall events, infiltration was similar in shrub communities with and without microbiotic soil crust cover, but significantly higher than measured in the bare area. Soil water extraction by roots associated with evapotranspiration restricted the wetting front penetration after 1 to 3 h of rainfall. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

乌兰布和沙漠北部地下水资源的环境同位素探讨

工作范围在乌兰布和沙漠北部,面积共约4200km2.年平均降水量85～140mm,由西南向东递增,降水同位素组成δD～δ18O恰与Craig线一致,并与阿拉善地区相同.测得地下水中同位素含量范围,δ18O为-74‰～121‰,氚为0～190TU,14C为17～97pMC.由地下水同位素组成区别出与降水线平行或相交的6种类型.从所有地下水水点,以及可能有补给关系的其它水点的各类同位素关系,包括δ18O,T,δ13C和pMC,识别出两类承压水的各3个补给源和潜水的3个补给源,并区别出一组氚含量极低的潜水,对不同位置的承压水和潜水,由其同位素关系估算出了各补给源的组成和变幅.     

关于西北开发中的几个水资源问题

分析了西北水资源的特点,就生态环境用水、生态环境治理以及植树造林与沙漠治理等西部开发中的突出问题提出了一些认识。指出:西北开发必须以水为度,充分考虑区域水资源的承载能力;保护和改善西北地区生态环境的基本途径是偿还已被人类逐步夺占而本该属于自然生态系统的那一部分水源。     

中国白垩纪沙漠中的戈壁沉积

戈壁是广义沙漠体系的一个组成部分，然而在沙漠研究尤其在古沙漠研究中未得到充分的重视。笔者根据近年来的古今沙漠的研究，讨论了戈壁的形成作用、中国白垩纪沙漠戈壁沉积和风磨石的形成和分布特征，以便引起广大同行的重视。
