城市化对南京地区土壤多样性影响的灰色关联分析

随着城市化的发展,越来越多的土壤资源被侵占。本文借助RS和GIS技术,根据1984年、1995年、2003年3期TM遥感影像 (30m×30m),采用多时相连续对比法对南京地区近20年来城镇扩张情况进行了分析;结合南京地区土壤图,利用生态学领域中的多样性测度方法计算了城市化背景下南京地区的土壤多样性指数 (HP)、土壤均匀度指数 (Jsw) 和土壤丰富度指数 (R₂),进而在镇级尺度上对1984~2003年南京地区土壤多样性时空变化特点进行了研究;利用灰色系统理论中的灰色关联分析方法,对南京地区各级行政区划单位的扩张对土壤多样性的影响进行了初步探讨。分析结果表明,各级行政区划中村庄的扩张对土壤多样性指数的影响最广,约占研究区总面积的60%;镇、县和市的扩张对土壤多样性的影响逐渐减少,各占研究区总面积的26%、7%和7%。     

中国中、东部典型样区不同发展水平下土壤与土地利用多样性的对比分析(英文)

Two typical provincial capitals (Nanjing and Zhengzhou) and two counties (Rugao and Yuanyang) in east (Jiangsu Province) and central (Henan Province) China were chosen respectively as the developed and less developed comparative cases for pedodiversity and land use diversity correlative analysis by borrowing the recently better developed pedodiversity methodology. Land use classification was worked out using remote sensing images in three different periods (1986-1988, 2000-2001 and 2004-2006) for these studied case areas before the calculation of the constituent diversity index and spatial distribution diversity index modified after Shannon entropy in 2 km×2 km grid scale of the soil and land use pattern were conducted and then a connection index was proposed to evaluate the relationship between soil and land use diversity. Results show that during the years from 1986 to 2006, the composition and spatial distribution of regional land use pattern had changed greatly. The agricultural land area of all the studied case areas decreased obviously in which Nanjing has the highest decrement of 895.98 km 2 mainly into urban use while the other land use type area changes show the same trend. The connection index of four typical soil family types and typical urban land use types, i.e., urban construction land, transportation land and industrial and mining area all increased in this period. In the studied case areas, there is the highest soil constituent diversity in Zhengzhou at 0.779 while the simplest soil constituent diversity in Rugao at 0.582. Meanwhile we have higher land use diversity in the more urbanized Jiangsu Province than Henan Province, Nanjing is ranking the first that has been getting higher and higher in the three periods at 0.366 in 1986-1988, 0.483 in 2000-2001 and 0.545 in 2004-2006. Finally, the connection index figures to evaluate the relationship between soil and land use diversity of the studied areas were compared to show the similar phenomenon that this figure grows fastest in Nanjing followed by Zhengzhou and other places.     

Impact of the spatial resolution of climatic data and soil physical properties on regional corn yield predictions using the STICS crop model

The assimilation of Earth observation (EO) data into crop models has proven to be an efficient way to improve yield prediction at a regional scale by estimating key unknown crop management practices. However, the efficiency of prediction depends on the uncertainty associated with the data provided to crop models, particularly climatic data and soil physical properties. In this study, the performance of the STICS (Simulateur mulTIdisciplinaire pour les Cultures Standard) crop model for predicting corn yield after assimilation of leaf area index derived from EO data was evaluated under different scenarios. The scenarios were designed to examine the impact of using fine-resolution soil physical properties, as well as the impact of using climatic data from either one or four weather stations across the region of interest. The results indicate that when only one weather station was used, the average annual yield by producer was predicted well (absolute error <5%), but the spatial variability lacked accuracy (root mean square error = 1.3 t ha⁻¹). The model root mean square error for yield prediction was highly correlated with the distance between the weather stations and the fields, for distances smaller than 10 km, and reached 0.5 t ha⁻¹ for a 5-km distance when fine-resolution soil properties were used. When four weather stations were used, no significant improvement in model performance was observed. This was because of a marginal decrease (30%) in the average distance between fields and weather stations (from 10 to 7 km). However, the yield predictions were improved by approximately 15% with fine-resolution soil properties regardless of the number of weather stations used. The impact of the uncertainty associated with the EO-derived soil textures and the impact of alterations in rainfall distribution were also evaluated. A variation of about 10% in any of the soil physical textures resulted in a change in dry yield of 0.4 t ha⁻¹. Changes in rainfall distribution between two abundant rainfalls during the growing season led to a significant change in yield (0.5 t ha⁻¹ on average). Our results highlight the importance of using fine-resolution gridded daily precipitation data to capture spatial variations of rainfall as well as using fine-resolution soil properties instead of coarse-resolution soil properties from the Canadian soil dataset, especially for regions with high pedodiversity.     

Pedodiversity: a controversial concept

The concept of pedodiversity and its measurement methodology proposed and developed by Ibá?ez research term is introduced. An attempt to apply pedodiversity to analyze spatial soil variation and distribution patterns on the global scale is briefly demonstrated. Furthermore, constructive comments and criticisms on pedodiversity and its measurement from the noted pedologists and ecologists are outlined. Finally, potential applications of pedodiversity in soil science and other relevant disciplines are discussed.

Pedodiversity: a controversial concept

1 Conceptual introductionSpatial soil variation is a fundamental notion of pedology, formally expressed in the hierarchical system of soil taxonomy and soil associations[1,2]. Since the 1990s, a Spanish research team led by Ibá?ez has been presenting a possible approach to systematically analyze taxonomic diversity of pedosphere by methods employed in ecological studies, drawing a parallel with the concept of biodiversity in ecology. According to Ibá?ez et al., it would be quite reasonable …     

A pedodiversity pattern: taxonomically established soil orders in China

1GeneralsituationofstudyChina is one of the oldest civilized countries in the world. Human activities and the practice of agriculture date back nearly 10 thousands years when people began gaining an understanding and knowledge about soils. Records of these activities can be found in ancient or current Chinese references (Gong etal., 1999), and in non-Chinese literatures like those in English and Russian (Thorp, 1936; Kovda, 1960; Needham, 1986; Li and Cao, 1990; Gong etal., 2003).
