Cultivated land change in the Belt and Road Initiative region

The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI)–a development strategy proposed by China – provides unprecedented opportunities for multi-dimensional communication and cooperation across Asia, Africa and Europe. In this study, we analyse the spatio-temporal changes in cultivated land in the BRI countries (64 in total) to better understand the land use status of China along with its periphery for targeting specific collaboration. We apply FAO statistics and GlobeLand30 (the world’s finest land cover data at a 30-m resolution), and develop three indicator groups (namely quantity, conversion, and utilization degree) for the analysis. The results show that cultivated land area in the BRI region increased 3.73×10⁴ km² between 2000 and 2010. The increased cultivated land was mainly found in Central and Eastern Europe and Southeast Asia, while the decreased cultivated land was mostly concentrated in China. Russia ranks first with an increase of 1.59×10⁴ km² cultivated land area, followed by Hungary (0.66×10⁴ km²) and India (0.57×104 km2). China decreased 1.95×10⁴ km² cultivated land area, followed by Bangladesh (–0.22×10⁴ km²) and Thailand (–0.22×10⁴ km²). Cultivated land was mainly transferred to/from forest, grassland, artificial surfaces and bare land, and transfer types in different regions have different characteristics: while large amount of cultivated land in China was converted to artificial surfaces, considerable forest was converted to cultivated land in Southeast Asia. The increase of multi-cropping index dominated the region except the Central and Eastern Europe, while the increase of fragmentation index was prevailing in the region except for a few South Asian countries. Our results indicate that the negative consequence of cultivated land loss in China might be underestimated by the domestic- focused studies, as none of its close neighbours experienced such obvious cultivated land losses. Nevertheless, the increased cultivated land area in Southeast Asia and the extensive cultivated land use in Ukraine and Russia imply that the regional food production would be greatly improved if China’ “Go Out policy” would help those countries to intensify their cultivated land use.     

塔里木河流域绿洲城镇发展与水土资源效益分析

通过Global Moran's I 指数和Getis-Ord Gi*指数并构建协调发展度模型对塔里木河流域绿洲城镇1995、2000、2005 和2008 年4 个时间点的城镇化水平、土地资源效益和水资源效益的集聚扩散状态及其冷热点空间格局演化与空间联动效应进行分析,得出结论：受塔河流域绿洲分布、气候条件及城镇发展基础等多种因素影响,城镇化和水土资源效益空间格局表现出不尽相同的状态。① 塔河流域城镇化与水土资源效益的集聚扩散状态不一致,城镇发展与自然条件相互作用的时间和力度不同决定了三者空间差异的必然性。② 受城镇化所处阶段、城镇职能与主导产业的影响,各县市水土资源开发的时序不同,城镇化和水土资源效益各自的热点演化格局明显不同,区域联动效应差异显著。③ 城镇化与水土资源效益冷热点区域的数量结构迥异。城镇不平衡发展仍然是主导趋势,土地资源效益滞后于城镇发展,水资源效益敏感性较强。④ 塔河流域范围广,自然条件复杂,各二级流域城镇化与水土资源效益的差异性显著。⑤ 城镇化与水土资源效益协调发展度的类型主要为发展水平低和较低两种,协调发展度的空间格局相比其冷热点区域的空间格局更具稳定性,三者差异显著是协调发展度低的重要原因。

Characteristics of dry-wet abrupt alternation events in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River Basin and the relationship with ENSO

During recent decades, more frequent flood-drought alternations have been seen in China as a result of global climate change and intensive human activities, which have significant implications on water and food security. To better identify the characteristics of flood-drought alternations, we proposed a modified dry-wet abrupt alternation index (DWAAI) and applied the new method in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River Basin (YRB-ML) to analyze the long-term spatio-temporal characteristics of dry-wet abrupt alternation (DWAA) events based on the daily precipitation observations at 75 rainfall stations in summer from 1960 to 2015. We found that the DWAA events have been spreading in the study area with higher frequency and intensity since 1960. In particular, the DWAA events mainly occurred in May and June in the northwest of the YRB-ML, including Hanjiang River Basin, the middle reaches of the YRB, north of Dongting Lake and northwest of Poyang Lake. In addition, we also analyzed the impact of El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) on DWAA events in the YRB-ML. The results showed that around 41.04% of DWAA events occurred during the declining stages of La Niña or within the subsequent 8 months after La Niña, which implies that La Niña events could be predictive signals of DWAA events. Besides, significant negative correlations have been found between the modified DWAAI values of all the rainfall stations and the sea surface temperature anomalies in the Nino3.4 region within the 6 months prior to the DWAA events, particularly for the Poyang Lake watershed and the middle reaches of the YRB. This study has significant implications on the flood and drought control and water resources management in the YRB-ML under the challenge of future climate change.

1996—2015年黄河源区植被覆盖度提取和时空变化分析

研究黄河源区植被覆盖度时空变化对于深入理解青藏高原多年冻土区在气候变化和人类活动双重作用下的植被响应,以及为黄河源区生态环境保护和治理提供决策具有重要的意义。以陆地卫星（Landsat）影像为主要数据源,利用多端元混合像元分解模型（Multiple Endmember Spectral Mixture Analysis,MESMA）,完成了1996—2015年黄河源区4.4万km²、7个时相的植被覆盖度提取,并基于转移矩阵和一元线性回归趋势法分析了植被覆盖度变化情况。结果表明：黄河源区东南部植被覆盖度较高,西北部植被覆盖度较低,且植被覆盖度在空间上由东南向西北呈递减趋势。1996—2004年植被覆盖度整体呈下降趋势,2004—2015年植被覆盖度呈增加趋势。1996—2015年植被覆盖度呈增加趋势的区域占57.25%,基本不变的区域占16.02%,植被覆盖度呈下降趋势的区域占26.73%。植被覆盖度下降的主要原因是黄河源头及一些河谷地带、环湖地区受人类影响较大,且东南部海拔较低地区受到过度放牧的影响。尽管黄河源区1996—2015年植被覆盖度总体呈改善趋势,但毒杂草的面积也由1996年的16 060 km²增加到2015年的22 942 km²,20年间增加了6 882 km²,毒杂草面积的增加对黄河源区局部地区畜牧业的发展有不利影响。     

西藏玛圭铅锌多金属矿成矿地质特征及找矿远景

西藏玛圭铅锌多金属矿在冈底斯铅锌银成矿带已发现的矽卡岩型多金属矿床中处于最西段。通过目前的预查工作,在矿区内共发现有14条矿体,初步预测可达到中-大型矿床规模。冈底斯中东段目前研究程度已较高,而西段与之具有相同的良好的矽卡岩型多金属矿成矿地质条件,但发现的矿床却很少。玛圭矿床的发现为该成矿带向西延伸和扩大规模提供了依据,并增加了进一步向西寻找同类型矿床的信心。
