土地利用类型与水分亏缺的风险程度关系——以北方农牧交错带黄土高原区为例

在北方农牧交错带植被重建中适宜乔、灌、草种生态区划的基础上,以该区域黄土高原区作为研究区,结合该区1989和1999两年的土地利用分类图,通过计算区域缺水指数及对其分级,探讨了缺水指数在时间和空间上的变化规律,分析了耕地、林地、草地等该区主要土地利用类型在时间和空间上与缺水指数的关系。在此基础上,构建水分亏缺风险指数(RiskIndexofWaterDeficit),从研究区整体和各生态分区两个尺度上探讨了不同土地利用类型的RIWD时空分异。得出如下结论:①1989～2000年,研究区缺水指数均在中度以上,其变化幅度有逐年减少的趋势;②对比1989年和1999年两年的缺水指数,区域整体缺水状况有所缓解,但各生态分区内的缓解程度在空间上仍存在差异;③从研究区整体而言,各土地利用类型的水分亏缺风险指数逐渐减少,依次为林地、耕地、草地;④因各生态分区内的地理特征包括水分状况存在变化,故各土地利用类型的水分亏缺风险程度排列顺序与区域整体有所不同。     

稻季施用不同尿素品种的氮素径流和淋溶损失

在太湖地区乌栅土上,利用大型原状土柱研究不同尿素品种、施肥量处理在稻季氮素径流和淋溶损失.结果表明,包膜尿素在基施情况下,田面水总氮浓度始终接近对照水平,通过径流损失的可能性很小.尿素处理施肥后2d内田面水氮浓度达最高值,随后急剧下降,施肥与径流产生时间的间隔是决定径流氮排放大小的关键因素,施肥5d后的降雨不易造成大的径流排放,氮径流损失与尿素施用量呈显著正相关.各处理间的氮素淋溶排放无显著差异,在2.66～3.25kgN/hm²之间;淋溶液中NO₃^--N浓度最高为0.83mgN/L,在正常施肥情况下,此类土壤氮的淋溶不会造成地下水NO₃--N的严重污染.     

晋西黄土高原水资源植被承载力分析及对策建议

干旱缺水始终是黄土高原地区林业水资源管理面临的难题. 为了探究造成黄土高原地区林水失衡的主要原因,以2009—2012年晋西黄土高原蔡家川流域油松人工林树干液流量与土壤水分长期连续定位观测数据为基础,采用土壤有效水与单株油松耗水量的比值来衡量该区域水资源植被承载力. 结果表明:①在油松人工林实际密度(1 300株/hm2)下,油松人工林过度耗水是深层土壤干化的主要原因;降水量是决定水资源植被承载力的主要环境因子,降水量越大,油松人工林地的水资源植被承载力就越高. ②根据构建的降水量-水资源植被承载力拟合方程,在当地年均降水量为576 mm条件下,研究区20 a林龄油松人工林地水资源植被承载力为1 084株/hm2,而油松人工林地的实际密度远大于该水资源植被承载力. 在黄土高原地区,人工林密度过高是造成深层土壤干化、植被退化等生态恶化的主要原因. 因此,将人工林密度控制在当地水资源植被承载力范围之内,是减少林地深层土壤水分消耗、调节林地水平衡的重要措施.      

2000~2014年黄土高原植被覆盖时空变化特征及其归因

基于MODIS-NDVI数据,辅以一元线性回归分析、Mann-Kendall检验、Hurst指数等方法,分析了2000~2014年黄土高原植被覆盖时空演变特征及其驱动因素.研究表明:近15年黄土高原NDVI呈显著增加趋势,增速为6.93%/10a(P<0.01);空间上,植被归一化指数,或归一化值被指数Normalized Difference Vegetation Index(NDVI)呈由东南向西北递减的分布格局,高值区主要分布在东南部的土石山区、河谷平原区;同时,500m以下和3500米左右的NDVI值最高;在趋势上,NDVI呈现增加和减小趋势的面积比重分别为88.24%和11.76%;Hurst指数表明研究区未来NDVI变化趋势呈持续性和反持续的比重分别为50.07%和49.93%,其中持续改善和由改善变为退化的面积分别占43.98%和44.28%;降水是影响NDVI变化的主要驱动因子,表现为NDVI随降水的增加而增加;人类活动也是影响NDVI的重要因素,且对NDVI有双重影响.     

Community participation in the management of forest reserves in the Northern Region of Ghana

The 1994 forest and wildlife policy of Ghana provides the basis for community participation in forest management through participatory forest management. Even though forest reserves in the Northern Region are said to be managed collaboratively, fringe communities are supposedly involved only in maintenance activities of the reserve boundaries and seedling planting in plantation programmes. The forest reserves are said to be threatened by illegal activities from the fringe communities. This study therefore examined the nature of community participation in the management of forest reserves.

It is a mixed method research in which structured interview schedule, in-depth interview and focus group discussion guides were used for data collection. Respondents comprised community members, forestry staff and NGOs. Communities’ participation was found to be passive and tokenistic and limited to boundary cleaning and providing labour on plantations. There is no formal collaboration between communities and Forest Services Division. Prospects to communities’ participation lie in the continuous flow of benefits and their active involvement in management decisions. Active involvement of communities in all decision-making processes, capacity building of communities and forestry staff, incentive schemes and awareness creation are recommended for promoting community participation in managing forest reserves in Northern Region.     

Incorporating geographical and evolutionary rarity into conservation prioritization

Key goals of conservation are to protect both species and the functional and genetic diversity they represent. A strictly species-based approach may underrepresent rare, threatened, or genetically distinct species and overrepresent widespread species. Although reserves are created for a number of reasons, including economic, cultural, and ecological reasons, their efficacy has been measured primarily in terms of how well species richness is protected, and it is useful to compare how well they protect other measures of diversity. We used Proteaceae species-occurrence data in the Cape Floristic Region of South Africa to illustrate differences in the spatial distribution of species and evolutionary diversity estimated from a new maximum-likelihood molecular phylogeny. We calculated species richness, phylogenetic diversity (i.e., summed phylogenetic branch lengths in a site), and a site-aggregated measure of biogeographically weighted evolutionary distinctiveness (i.e., an abundance weighted measure that captures the unique proportion of the phylogenetic tree a species represents) for sites throughout the Cape Floristic Region. Species richness and phylogenetic diversity values were highly correlated for sites in the region, but species richness was concentrated at a few sites that underrepresented the much more spatially extensive distribution of phylogenetic diversity. Biogeographically weighted evolutionary diversity produced a scheme of prioritization distinct from the other 2 metrics and highlighted southern sites as conservation priorities. In these sites, the high values of biogeographically weighted evolutionary distinctiveness were the result of a nonrandom relation between evolutionary distinctiveness and geographical rarity, where rare species also tended to have high levels of evolutionary distinctiveness. Such distinct and rare species are of particular concern, but are not captured by conservation schemes that focus on species richness or phylogenetic diversity alone.     

洞庭湖区退田还湖过程中小型兽类的生态位特征

为了解退田还湖工程实施后的小兽群落状况,2003~2010年对洞庭湖区退田还湖后9种不同类型生境中小型兽类的生态位特征进行了调查.共布放64 432夹日,捕获小型兽3 066只,总的捕获率为4.76%,包括啮齿目10种和食虫目2种.小型兽类各种群的生态位宽度以褐家鼠和黑线姬鼠最高,分别为0.819 8和0.765 6,为广生态位的种类;随后依次是臭鼩、东方田鼠、刺猬、巢鼠、黄胸鼠、小家鼠、黄毛鼠、针毛鼠,分别为0.689 0、0.573 7、0.527 3、0.482 8、0.394 8、0.289 7、0.265 1、0.098 5;社鼠和大足鼠最低,仅在1种生境中有捕获.从生态位宽度指数的季节变化看,黑线姬鼠、褐家鼠、东方田鼠和臭鼩在四季的生态位宽度指数均较高.从空间生态位宽度和生态位重叠指数看,除黑线姬鼠和褐家鼠利用生境较广外,洞庭湖小兽群落可分为3个类群:栖息于环湖丘岗林地生境的社鼠、针毛鼠和黄毛鼠类群,以湖滩生境为主的东方田鼠、巢鼠和臭鼩类群,以及以村庄周围的农田生态系统为主的家鼠类群.从生态位指标和捕获数量看,黑线姬鼠、东方田鼠和褐家鼠是当地需要重点关注的种类.东方田鼠种群数量高峰年份与低谷年份比,其生态位宽度以及与其它种类的生态位重叠指数均较高,高峰年份东方田鼠冬季在双退垸出现,说明退田还湖已扩大了东方田鼠的繁殖基地,对东方田鼠种群发展有利,在种群暴发年份,易形成更加严重的危害.     

非线性复合模型在云南纵向岭谷区生态安全评价中的应用

应用非线性模糊综合评价——未确知测度复合评价模型(简称非线性复合模型),对云南纵向岭谷区的生态安全进行了评价. 非线性复合模型考虑到生态系统的非线性,引入了非线性合成算子,并利用置信度准则对评价样本进行识别与排序. 结果表明:非线性复合模型既能反映某种指标的突出影响,又能把线性加权平均模型看作是它的特例;利用非线性复合模型对评价样本进行识别与排序,克服了使用最大隶属度方法进行排序的缺点. 非线性复合模型在研究区中的应用得到了客观、合理的评价结果,表明其在多指标、多样本评价中的可行性      

黄土坡耕地退耕还林后土壤性质变化研究

退耕还林是治理黄土高原水土流失的根本措施。论文以退耕历史较长的黄土丘陵沟壑区安塞县为例,选取不同类型植被恢复和不同恢复年限的退耕样区,探讨了退耕还林还草对土壤理化性质的影响。结果表明,坡耕地退耕后,遭侵蚀破坏的土体构型渐趋恢复,土壤容重、pH值减小,毛管孔隙度、饱和含水量等增大;土壤有机质增加了2.75倍,碳增加了27.29%,氮增加了46.79%;而且,土壤速效养分增加的速度大于土壤全量元素增加的速度。土壤质量恢复效益最大的是刺槐林地,其次是柠条灌木地,最小的是撂荒地。混交林土壤全氮含量最高,柠条最利于铵态氮、硝态氮和亚硝态氮的积累。不同类型植被,土壤速效养分的差异比土壤全量元素间的差异明显。随恢复时间的增加,土壤结构不断得到改善,土壤有机质、全碳、全氮以及主要离子含量呈明显增加趋势,土壤速效养分增加更明显。土壤有机质在植被恢复5年以上开始明显增加,土壤碳、氮和速效养分则在10年以后增加明显。     

陕北黄土丘陵区撂荒演替过程中的土壤水分效应

根据陕北黄土丘陵区17块不同撂荒年限样地土壤水分的普查和10块样地土壤水分的定位测定,利用多元回归分析和通径分析法研究了植被恢复过程中土壤水分的变化和各植被、土壤因子对土壤水分的作用效应:①农田撂荒后,随着植被的恢复,因群落生物量、植被盖度和土壤有机质等这些对土壤水分有直接作用因子的变化,而间接表现为随着撂荒年限的增加,土壤含水量越来越低,而土壤水分的波动却越来越大;②用地形因子(包括坡度、坡向和海拔)、土壤因子(地表土壤容重和有机质含量)和植被因子(地上生物量和植被盖度)可以较好地对土壤水分做出多元拟合,影响表层土壤水分含量和根系层水分波动的主导因子是植被盖度,而影响深层土壤水分波动的主导因子是地上生物量;③土壤水分两次测定期间深层储水量差值与累积降雨量成显著正相关,说明土壤水分测定下边界存在上渗与下渗运动,而且储水量差值多数为正值,说明是以下渗为主。因此O根据土壤水分来估算群落蒸散时会有正的系统误差。为此论文将深层储水量差值作为补偿调节因子自变量,以提高多元拟合精度。拟合结果说明群落蒸散可由群落生物量、群落盖度、坡度、坡向和土壤表层容重或坚实度来估计。在植被恢复过程中影响群落蒸散的最大因子是群落蒸腾,其次是植被盖度。
