The bud banks in the typical steppe communities with different disturbance regimes

To understand the effects of different disturbance regimes on the bud bank demography in perennial grasslands, we conducted a demographic field investigation of the bud bank in a typical steppe on the Loess Plateau. Grazing significantly decreased and fire significantly increased bud bank density compared to fenced grasslands. For different bud bank types, grazing significantly decreased tiller bud bank density, and fire significantly increased the density of root crown buds and rhizomatous buds in relation to fenced grasslands. Tiller buds accounted for the majority of the total bud banks independently of the disturbance regimes. Our study suggests that the grasslands with a large reserve bud bank may be the most resistant to disturbance, and fencing is an effective grassland management measure to keep a large bud bank in typical steppe on the Loess Plateau.     

天然草地退化的社会经济原因与可持续利用对策--以甘肃省肃南县为例

天然草地是人类生存和发展的重要物质基础，又是重要的生态屏障。长期以来。天然草地因疏于管理与保护．加之不合理的放牧利用．致使我国天然草地陷于面积缩减．草地组成退化．生产力下降．草地生境日趋恶化的困境．草原退化已成为我国重大的资源和环境问题之一。本文以祁连山区的肃南县为例，通过对天然草地退化现状的调查研究．剖析了天然草地退化的社会经济原因。通过分析我们认为．草地退化虽然是自然因素和人为因素共同作用的结果。但是制度不完善．过度放牧．农户经营封闭、生产结构单一等人为因素才是造成草地生态急剧退化的主要原因。并依此为依据，提出了完善草原法体系、加强管理、创新草业发展镧度等天然草地可持续利用对策。     

基于CLUE-S模型的重庆市主城区土地利用情景模拟

以重庆市主城区为研究区,采用120m×120m栅格大小的数据为模拟基准,借助CLUE-S模型、情景分析法、SPSS软件及ArcGIS10.1软件建立了数量变化和空间分布变化相结合的不同情景下土地利用/覆盖变化的动态模拟模型,并对研究区不同情景下的土地利用/覆盖动态变化进行了模拟,模型综合考虑各种宏观驱动因子与土地利用变化之间的关系,较全面地考虑了多种土地利用/覆盖变化驱动因子,并利用SPSS软件进行相关性分析,确定了各因子的回归模型,提高了模拟结果的精度,通过对已有数据的模拟及精度分析,整体模拟精度达86%以上,在一定程度上反映了该模型在研究高分辨率土地利用/覆盖变化方面有很好的适应性,对土地利用/覆盖变化的复杂性研究和相关部门对土地布局、规划方面具有一定的参考价值。模拟结果表明:到2030年湿地、人工用地、林地将增加,耕地和其它用地减少,草地在不同的情景下均有稍微的增加,耕地和人工用地是变化最大的两种类型,随着时间的推移耕地和林地面积不断接近甚至持平,研究区西部及西南部变化比较明显。     

长江上游不同地形条件下的土地利用/覆盖变化

基于1〖DK〗∶10万的1980、2000和2005年的土地利用/覆盖数据和90 m分辨率的DEM数据，采用转移概率矩阵和地形 面积频度方法，分析了1980~2005年长江上游地区不同地形因子条件下的土地利用/覆盖变化。结果表明：1）1980~2000年，草地、林地和农业用地面积变化趋势与2000~2005年相反。后5 a，可能由于退耕的土地出现反弹现象增多，草地和林地面积出现缩减而农业用地面积增加。两个分析时段主要的土地利用/覆盖类型变化趋势类似，包括农业用地向林地和草地的转化，林地向农业用地的转化以及草地向裸地的转化。2）农业用地和城镇用地主要分布于低海拔区而林地、草地则主要分布于高海拔区。低海拔区主要是退耕还林和城市化过程。高海拔区主要是林地的退化消失和草地退化沙化过程。3）农业用地在坡度段10~25°所占面积比例最大。林地用地面积比例随坡度变陡呈现规则递增，城镇用地分布趋势与之相反。近年裸地趋向分布于缓坡区。坡度0~5°的区域主要是草地退化沙化过程；5~10°坡度段主要是退耕还林过程；大于10°的区域造林工程与森林退化并存。4）各种土地利用/覆盖类型对不同坡向的适宜性相差不大。各种坡向上土地利用/覆盖类型变化类似.

采用Landsat TM/ETM遥感解译数据，综合运用定性与定量方法，分析江苏省1985～2015年建设用地扩张的时空演变特征、类型与模式，通过多元回归和地理探测器方法探索江苏省和各地级市建设用地扩张的时空驱动因子及驱动机制。结果表明：(1）江苏省建设用地扩张幅度空间上呈现苏南>苏中>苏北的特征，建设用地扩张速率时间上呈现先上升后下降的趋势，2005～2010年是快速扩张期。（2)江苏省建设用地扩张呈空间自相关和明显的集聚分布。扩张密度分布呈现以江苏沿江地区为高值中心，沿海及苏北地区为低值连片区的空间分异现象。高-高值区主要分布在城市中心区。（3)江苏省已形成沿长江的城市发展轴带和空间集约的都市连绵区，呈现外延型的空间扩张模式。江苏省建设用地扩张的协调性和稳定性，均出现苏南>苏北的地理空间格局，可分为 4种类型：协调稳定型、不协调稳定型、协调波动型、不协调波动型。(4）建设用地扩张主导时间驱动因子是产业结构转型、人口增长、居民生活水平提高和投资增长，第二、三产业比重是扩张的核心时间驱动因素，工业化是驱动建设用地扩张的重要动力。GDP和人口密度是建设用地扩张的主导空间驱动因子。     

Land Degradation Evaluation in North Hebei Province Based on Remote Sensing and GIS

Land degradation is one of the serious environmental problems that can lead to poverty, and is especially prominent in eco-fragile areas in developing countries and increases the risk of environmental safety. North Hebei Province belongs to an ecologically fragile region in North China, which has great impact on the eco-safety of Beijing and Tianjin. Using Landsat TM data and GIS, this paper evaluates land degradation in North Hebei province of China from the the 1960＇s to 1987 and 2000. Land use/cover change pattern from 1987 to 2000, its regional difference and forest change characteristics will also be analyzed; soil erosion intensity and arable land suitability were also evaluated. Results revealed that land use/cover pattern in this study area did not change greatly from 1987 to 2000. The structure and function of regional land ecosystem was at a level of local improvement and integral deterioration. Land above medium soil erosion intensity reached 21 percent, which was also the area with a serious soil erosion and land degradation problem. Soil erosion and land degradation intensity of grassland was the biggest. For the present arable land, the proportion of high suitability was 13 percent.

经济发展中的虚拟水贸易实施受到多种要素的影响与制约。在回顾当前虚拟水研究进展的基础上,从自然、经济、社会、生态、技术和政策六个维度系统分析了以农产品为主要载体的虚拟水贸易实施的影响因素,进而收集32个典型的虚拟水贸易实施国家的横截面数据,利用多元逐步回归的方法,以虚拟水对外依赖程度为因变量,对部分影响因素进行了实证检验,并根据实证结果从资源优化配置与区域经济贡献的角度解释了国内学者研究得出的我国区际间农产品虚拟水的流动格局。研究表明:耕地资源及水资源的稀缺程度、区域经济发展水平、社会调适能力是虚拟水进口的正向驱动因素,而农业用水效率则是虚拟水进口的逆向驱动因素。     

湖北省土地利用变化格局的区域分异研究

采用遥感、GIS一体化技术,利用1989~1990年和1999~2000年获取的LANDSAT卫星影像,对湖北省土地利用变化的区域分异特点进行分析。结果表明,自然地理环境因素对土地利用格局起主要控制性作用;城市化与工业化、社会经济的发展及国家有关土地利用政策对土地利用变化格局的形成起进一步调控作用。分区而言,鄂西、鄂东北、鄂东南等山区是耕地、林地与草地相互转换区;武汉、鄂州、黄石等沿江城郊区和从宜昌到沙市区沿江带是城镇扩张区;荆州、汉江下游和鄂北岗地丘陵是水域缩减区;江汉平原区是水域扩张区。另外,农村经济结构调整和有关耕地政策的出台是耕地、林地与草地相互转换区土地利用变化的主要驱动因素;中心城市对周围区域经济的带动作用和沿江区域特殊的交通优势是城镇扩张区的主要驱动因素;经济利益的驱动是水域扩张区的主要驱动因素;耕地政策是水域缩减区的主要驱动因素。     

长江源区草地植被退化对土壤持水能力影响

选择长江源区的格尔木市唐古拉山镇作为研究区，通过野外实地采样与室内测试分析相结合，在分析草地植被不同退化阶段和不同土层深度下土壤持水能力特征的基础上，探讨了草地植被退化对土壤持水能力影响。结果表明：（1）在相同草地植被退化阶段，毛管持水量、饱和含水量和田间持水量随土层深度变化的特征基本一致；在相同土层深度上，毛管持水量、饱和含水量和田间持水量随草地植被退化的特征也大体相同。（2）在相同草地植被退化阶段，土壤持水量总体上随土层深度增加而减少，特别是在未退化阶段，10~20 cm土层的毛管持水量、饱和含水量和田间持水量比0~10 cm土层分别减少了12.38%、33.73%和7.64%。（3）在相同土层深度上，土壤持水量总体上随草地植被退化而减少，特别是在0~10 cm土层，轻度退化阶段的毛管持水量、饱和含水量和田间持水量比未退化阶段分别减少了41.52%、59.95%和27.03%。（4）土壤持水量与土壤容重、总碳、有机质和总氮显著相关，它在草地植被不同退化阶段和不同土层深度下的变化可能与地表覆被状况、植物根系数量和分布特征所引起的土壤容重、有机质等变化有关。研究可深化对草地植被退化与土壤持水能力相互关系的理解和认识，并为长江源区生态环境和水资源状况研究提供参考依据。 关键词： 土壤持水能力；草地植被退化；长江源区；影响     

Effects of grazing and fencing on carbon and nitrogen reserves in plants and soils of alpine meadow in the three headwater resource regions

Knowledge about carbon and nitrogen in plants and soils and response to fence and graze in alpine ecosystems is still rudimentary because of extremely geographic situation. The purpose of this study was to compare the difference among carbon, nitrogen concentration, and content of unit area and dynamics of above- and below-ground biomass, soil organic carbon and total nitrogen between fencing and grazing alpine meadow. The results showed that total carbon and C: N radio in the aboveground tissue were significantly higher in fenced and ungrazing grassland (FU) than those in free grazing grassland (FG). In addition, the order of total carbon and nitrogen concentration of aboveground tissue of different function groups were not identical between them; The total carbon storage (TCS) per unit of aboveground tissue, roots and 0–30 cm soil layer increased after being fenced for 5 years from free grazing grassland (9255.17 g/m²) to fenced and ungrazing grassland (12637.10 g/m²) by 26.79%. The corresponding total nitrogen storage (TNS) increased by 751.42 g/m². Furthermore over 95% TCS (TNS) come from 0–30 cm soil layer. However there were no significant differences between fenced and ungrazing grasslands of 10 years and 5 years. Therefore fenced to exclude grazing by Tibetan sheep and yaks was an alternative approach to sequester C to the soil in alpine meadow systems.     

基于BRT模型的南昌市城市扩展时空特征及驱动因素研究

分析城市扩展的时空特征以及其驱动因素,有助了解城镇化规律,为制定具有区域化特色的城市空间规划提供方案。研究以南昌市为例,基于多期Landsat遥感影像(2000、2008、2017年)获取南昌市城镇用地变化的时空信息,采用扩展强度指数、景观扩展指数、重心指数等方法分析了该地区城市扩展的时空特征,进而应用增强回归树模型(Boosted Regression Tree,BRT)探究影响城市扩展的驱动因素。结果表明:(1)2000～2017年,南昌市城镇用地面积增加了252.81 km~2,第一阶段(2000～2008年)增长的强度和速度大于第二阶段(2008～2017年);(2)两阶段南昌市城镇用地扩展模式均以边缘式扩展为主,以填充式及飞地式为辅,扩展方式缺乏集约性,存在"摊大饼"式问题;(3)从整个研究期来看,南昌城市发展重心总体上往西南方迁移了2.19 km,第一阶段南昌市城市扩展重心向西迁移了1.50 km,第二阶段又继续向西南方迁移了1.35 km;(4)南昌市城市扩展的16个方向中,以SW及SWW方向上较大,而在NW、N、NNE、SE、SSE方向上因受到梅岭山脉以及军山湖泊的阻隔导致扩展强度较小;(5)利用BRT分析邻域因素(距2000年城区距离,距河流距离,距路网距离),社会因素(土地利用类型,GDP,城镇人口),自然因素(高程,坡度,海拔)可知,南昌市城市扩展主要受邻域因素的影响,社会因素中仅土地利用类型对城市扩展影响较大,而自然因素的影响相对较小。     

宁夏盐池县生态保护政策对农户的影响

生态保护政策能否真正起到作用。在很大程度上取决于能否被农户在经济利益上所接受。盐池县的草原退化和沙漠化问题严重，主要是由于人类不合理经济活动造成的。近年来盐池县采取了一系列的生态保护政策，并开始实行草原禁牧的政策，以保护和恢复草原生态环境。农户调查的研究结果表明。目前的生态保护政策并不成功。90％以上的农户仍然在草原上偷牧，禁牧使农户收入减少是导致该政策失败的根本原因。虽然农户的生态意识较为理性，但是目前的生态保护政策与农户经营行为之间至少存在两大矛盾：一是，生态效益长期性与农户追求短期效益的矛盾；二是，生态环境外部性与农户小农意识之间的矛盾。     

Land Degradation Evaluation in North Hebei Province Based on Remote Sensing and GIS

Abstract

Land degradation is one of the serious environmental problems that can lead to poverty, and is especially prominent in eco-fragile areas in developing countries and increases the risk of environmental safety. North Hebei Province belongs to an ecologically fragile region in North China, which has great impact on the eco-safety of Beijing and Tianjin. Using Landsat TM data and GIS, this paper evaluates land degradation in North Hebei province of China from the the 1960's to 1987 and 2000. Land use/cover change pattern from 1987 to 2000, its regional difference and forest change characteristics will also be analyzed; soil erosion intensity and arable land suitability were also evaluated. Results revealed that land use/cover pattern in this study area did not change greatly from 1987 to 2000. The structure and function of regional land ecosystem was at a level of local improvement and integral deterioration. Land above medium soil erosion intensity reached 21 percent, which was also the area with a serious soil erosion and land degradation problem. Soil erosion and land degradation intensity of grassland was the biggest. For the present arable land, the proportion of high suitability was 13 percent.     

Climate change adaptation approaches with nomadic culture characteristics in Inner Mongolia grassland in China

Climate change adaptation is an important part of addressing climate warming. Inner Mongolia grassland is a sensitive and vulnerable area of climate and an important region for adaptation to climate change. New climate change adaptation approaches with nomadic culture characteristics should be exploded in the context of climate warming. In this paper, the different utilization pattern of grassland in different regions, the different modes of production and management and historical culture were analyzed first in Nenjiang–West Liaohe plain and Ke’erqin region, Inner Mongolia Plateau and Ordos Plateau. Then, nomadic culture on the grassland was discussed from the productivity to biodiversity, from local livestock variety to resource-used system. Finally, new approaches of climate change adaptation with inheriting the essence of nomadic culture were proposed, including protecting biodiversity and using resources reasonably, performing a practice of grazing suspension–rotational grazing system, fencing degenerated grassland to facilitate its growth, founding new farming and husbandry system on the grassland, and establishing an incentive mechanism favorable to grassland and ethical cultural protection.     

干旱冲击下草地租赁对草场退化及牧户生计的影响

近年来草地租赁市场在牧区出现并逐渐发展。然而,作为调节牧户资源的市场制度,其对草原社会生态的影响莫衷一是。Agent-based model(ABM)是社会科学领域先进的定量分析模型,可用来模拟复杂环境中主体间的交互关系及作用结果。本文首先在理论上分析了内蒙古牧区“人-草-畜”关系,揭示了牧区社会生态的复杂性,之后在此基础上,运用ABM模拟草地租赁中“人-草-畜”关系,通过调节干旱发生概率及牧户草地出租意愿,分析干旱冲击下草地租赁对草场退化及牧户生计的影响。为了更合理地展示和模拟牧区实际,本文结合2015—2016年内蒙古锡林郭勒盟、呼伦贝尔市的调研数据和部分文献、年报数据,对ABM中相关的参数进行设定,构建了用于模拟干旱冲击下牧区草地租赁的模型:①控制干旱概率,调节出租意愿的模型结果表明,在一定的干旱冲击下,草地租赁是一个有效的制度安排,可以缓解干旱导致的草地退化,提高牧区草场的总体生产力,并提高参与租赁户的生计水平。②控制出租意愿,调节干旱发生概率的模型结果则表明,当干旱加剧时,仅有单一的草地租赁制度无法阻止草场退化和牧户收入下降,草地生态及牧户收入仍然会受到干旱冲击的较大影响。因此,完善草地租赁市场,可在一定程度上缓解干旱冲击对草地退化的影响,提高牧户收入。但为了保障牧区社会生态的可持续性,还需发展牧业合作社和草地合作小组等其他制度。ABM可以通过对现实变量的参数化来模拟现实状况,对指导类似草原牧区等存在多个主体交互关系的社区实践具有重要作用。     

基于SD和CLUE-S模型的区域土地利用变化对土壤有机碳储量影响研究

土地利用/土地覆被变化改变土壤呼吸条件,进而对土壤有机碳储量变化产生影响,而土壤有机碳储量则是影响农业可持续发展和全球碳平衡领域的重要因素。以上海市崇明岛为例,运用系统动力学模型(System Dynamics Model)预测2020、2030年土地利用需求变化,结合CLUE-S模型(Conversion of Land Use and its Effects at Small region extent Model)得出各种用地类型的空间分布,并引用碳密度法估算三种发展幕景下土地利用变化对土壤有机碳储量的影响。结果表明:2030年三种发展幕景土壤有机碳储量分别为:低速发展幕景为3 093.03×106kg,惯性发展幕景为3 079.47×106kg,高速发展幕景为3 059.81×106kg;研究期内土壤有机碳储量呈现缓慢下降趋势,但人类活动对其扰动较小;SD和CLUE-S耦合模型可以从时间和空间两方面对土壤有机碳储量进行模拟,具有可行性;建议通过加强城镇用地集约利用、农田保护、林地建设来减少人为活动对土壤有机碳储量的影响。     

都江堰市农村居民点时空演变与驱动因素研究

科学辨识农村居民点时空演变特征及驱动因素对农村居民点布局优化、农村土地节约集约利用和村级土地利用规划编制具有重要意义。以都江堰市为研究区，借助格网分析法和地理探测器等方法，定量分析都江堰市近十年农村居民点时空演变特征和驱动因素。结果表明：（1）都江堰市农村居民点空间分布差异性显著。东部和东南部农耕地区居民点密度较大，聚集程度较高；北部和西北部丘陵山区居民点沿河谷呈带状分布；（2）2005～2015年，居民点数量和用地面积变化时序性较为明显。总体上先增加后减少，居民点数量从16 543个增长至26 018个再减少至25 890个，居民点用地面积从6 161.43 hm ²增长至7 265.43 hm ²再减少至7 043.01 hm ²；（3）居民点用地面积动态变化主要受地形条件、耕地面积和离道路距离的影响，并且农村居民点空间分布表现出一定的耕地和道路指向性；（4）影响力P值计算结果受划分类型的影响，但对于结果的排序影响不大。     

Towards a general relationship between climate change and biodiversity: an example for plant species in Europe

Climate change is one of the main factors that will affect biodiversity in the future and may even cause species extinctions. We suggest a methodology to derive a general relationship between biodiversity change and global warming. In conjunction with other pressure relationships, our relationship can help to assess the combined effect of different pressures to overall biodiversity change and indicate areas that are most at risk. We use a combination of an integrated environmental model (IMAGE) and climate envelope models for European plant species for several climate change scenarios to estimate changes in mean stable area of species and species turnover. We show that if global temperature increases, then both species turnover will increase, and mean stable area of species will decrease in all biomes. The most dramatic changes will occur in Northern Europe, where more than 35% of the species composition in 2100 will be new for that region, and in Southern Europe, where up to 25% of the species now present will have disappeared under the climatic circumstances forecasted for 2100. In Mediterranean scrubland and natural grassland/steppe systems, arctic and tundra systems species turnover is high, indicating major changes in species composition in these ecosystems. The mean stable area of species decreases mostly in Mediterranean scrubland, grassland/steppe systems and warm mixed forests.     

岷江上游山区聚落生态位地理特征与驱动因子间关系研究

山区聚落生态位反映聚落在山地垂直方向上所处的空间位置及人类生活所能利用的资源空间,是当地居民长期适应山地自然环境的结果。基于岷江上游各民族山区聚落生态位和气象、社会、地形驱动因子的空间分布,借助冗余分析,构建山区聚落生态位地理特征与驱动因子间的多水平贝叶斯模型,定量刻画聚落生态位的民族属性对山区聚落生态位地理特征与驱动因子间关系的影响。结果表明:(1)影响研究区域内1 667个与各民族聚落生态位地理特征的驱动因子有显著差异,海拔和坡度对前者影响较大,海拔、坡度、干季和湿季湿度、距河流距离对后者影响较大,且海拔对两者的影响程度都最大,海拔和坡度地形驱动因子与干、湿季湿度和距河流距离间的相关性较弱。(2)干、湿季湿度气象驱动因子对藏-羌聚落生态位地理特征影响较大,距河流距离和距县城距离社会驱动因子、海拔和坡度地形驱动因子对藏族聚落生态位地理特征影响较大,这与藏族聚落生态位的分布面积和个数有关。(3)民族类型对聚落生态位地理特征指标与气象因子干季湿度间关系的影响最大,对聚落生态位地理特征指标与地形因子坡度间关系的影响最小。岷江上游山区聚落生态位地理特征与驱动因子间关系的研究,为量化山区聚落生态位与山地环境的关系提供了有效的数据支撑。     

Ecological pressures on grassland ecosystems and their conservation strategies in Northern China

In this study,we identified ecological pressures on grassland ecosystems and adaptive countermeasures in Northern China.Our research revealed that the main sources of these pressures included population growth,economic development,resources exploitation,and global climate change,with human-related activities being overriding factors.Overgrazing was an important reason for grassland imbalance,causing soil erosion and desertification,especially during the sensitive spring greening phase.In steppe zones,commercial coal mining was destructive to the ecological environment.Regarding long-term strategies,we recommend that policy-makers devote more consideration to a new conceptual approach for transforming grasslands through shifting the focus from die grassland’s traditional production functions to meir ecological functions.Applying this concept,adaptive countermeasures should be developed to reduce human impacts based on the environmental capacities of grasslands.Moreover,we recommend the development of environment-friendly industries and reduction of pressures from human activities as effective measures for maintaining the balance between sustainable economic development and grassland conservation.Lastly,we suggest that restoration of degraded grasslands should conform to the principle of natural vegetation to further improve the ecological adaptability of plants and ecosystem stability.This study is expected to provide scientific support for policy-makers engaged in grassland protection.
