巴丹吉林沙漠高大沙山区沙层含水量与水分来源探讨

为了查明巴丹吉林沙漠高大沙山区沙层含水量、水分来源等问题,于2009年5月大沙山区进行了15个5 m深钻孔的采样研究。结果表明,巴丹吉林沙漠高大沙山区干沙层分布深度比降水较多地区干沙层分布深度大,湿沙层含水量比降水多的地区低,指示该区的湿沙层含水量一般小于2%是当地气候条件下的正常现象。该区沙层水分主要以薄膜水的形式存在,并具有向下运移的特点,表明完全有可能成为湖水和地下水的来源之一。高大沙山区沙层含水量空间差异明显,洼地含水量最高与平地含水量较高,是大气降水向地下入渗的渠道。高大沙山区厚度小的干沙层的存在表明该区沙层水分受蒸发作用影响深度小,这能够有力促进大气降水通过入渗转化为地下水,这是在极端干旱气候条件下大气降水有可能入渗到达地下水位并成为湖水来源的主要原因。该区水分具有正平衡的显示,这是沙层水分入渗快和受蒸发作用影响深度小造成的,属于沙层水理性质决定的水分正平衡。     

Dams,Floodplain Land Use,and Riparian Forest Conservation in the Semiarid Upper Colorado River Basin,USA

Land and water resource development can independently eliminate riparian plant communities, including Fremont cottonwood forest (CF), a major contributor to ecosystem structure and functioning in semiarid portions of the American Southwest. We tested whether floodplain development was linked to river regulation in the Upper Colorado River Basin (UCRB) by relating the extent of five developed land-cover categories as well as CF and other natural vegetation to catchment reservoir capacity, changes in total annual and annual peak discharge, and overall level of mainstem hydrologic alteration (small, moderate, or large) in 26 fourth-order subbasins. We also asked whether CF appeared to be in jeopardy at a regional level. We classified 51% of the 57,000 ha of alluvial floodplain examined along >2600 km of mainstem rivers as CF and 36% as developed. The proportion developed was unrelated to the level of mainstem hydrologic alteration. The proportion classified as CF was also independent of the level of hydrologic alteration, a result we attribute to confounding effects from development, the presence of time lags, and contrasting effects from flow alteration in different subbasins. Most CF (68% by area) had a sparse canopy (50% canopy cover occupied <1% of the floodplain in 15 subbasins. We suggest that CF extent in the UCRB will decline markedly in the future, when the old trees on floodplains now disconnected from the river die and large areas change from CF to non-CF categories. Attention at a basinwide scale to the multiple factors affecting cottonwood patch dynamics is needed to assure conservation of these riparian forests.     

精准扶贫下社区发展基金(CDF)项目的多元管理与机制创新——基于内蒙古阿拉善盟的实证研究

内蒙古自治区阿拉善盟的荒漠生态系统是我国西北地区的一条重要生态防线,其生态环境直接影响到首都北京和华北地区的生态安全。精准扶贫是党和政府推动国家发展的重要战略目标。2015年11月-2017年1月,采用入户访问和半结构访谈的方式,对阿拉善盟开展社区发展基金项目的4个嘎查(村)的农户进行随机问卷调查。并分别在2005年、2008年、2015年对其中两个嘎查参与社区发展基金项目的15位农户的家庭收入和产业结构进行跟踪调查研究。结果表明:该区域将已有社区发展基金项目和政府精准扶贫重点项目相结合,实现了政府资本、社会资本(SEE)、民间资本(村民)的整合和统筹使用,提高了公共资金的使用效率;参加社区发展基金项目后,社区村民的收入结构和产业结构发生了大幅变化,促进了农业的转型升级,即提升了村民的自我管理能力,拓展了村民的收入来源,减轻了村民对区域自然资源的依赖程度,有利于村民的减贫和区域可持续发展。该区域集政府资本、社会资本(SEE)、民间资本(村民)等多方资金为一体的社区发展基金项目,为荒漠复合生态系统的建设和区域经济可持续发展提供了借鉴,是我国当前生态文明建设的有益尝试。     

塔克拉玛干沙尘活动对下游大气PM10浓度的影响

利用卫星遥感获得的1997~2002年逐日气溶胶指数(AI)分析了塔克拉玛干沙漠地区上空大气沙尘的时空变化特征,以及2001,2002年春季(4~5月)该沙区大气沙尘活动与我国大陆29个主要城市大气PM10含量的相关性.结果表明,该区大气沙尘活动的强弱与中国西北东部(西宁、兰州、银川、西安)大气PM10含量高低存在着显著的正相关(相关系数超过0.7,达到0.001的显著性水平).地面大气环流场的合成分析和线性回归分析发现,该沙漠地区的大气沙尘主要是通过青藏高原东北缘的绕流以及翻越高原东北部柴达木盆地的偏西风输送到西北东部地区,进而影响到当地空气质量的.     

不同提取液中源区沙尘溶解性铁价态组成特征

利用pH 4.7醋酸铵溶液和pH 2硫酸溶液对四个沙尘总悬浮颗粒物(TSP)样品进行溶解性铁提取,分别模拟沙尘含铁矿物在雨水和大气酸作用下的溶解。结果显示:在pH 4.7醋酸铵溶液中沙尘铁的溶解性介于2.30%—5.74%,平均值为4.17%;在pH 2硫酸溶液中沙尘铁的溶解性为4.72%—7.27%,平均值为6.13%。两种溶液中溶解性铁的价态组成存在明显差异,在pH 4.7醋酸铵中,溶解性铁主要以三价铁(FeⅢ)形式存在,占全部溶解性铁的76.7%—98.3%,二价铁(FeⅡ)仅占溶解性铁的1.7%—23.3%;在pH 2硫酸溶液中FeⅡ的相对比例明显增加,占全部溶解性铁的17.3%—50.0%。推测在酸作用下富含二价铁的矿物(如碳酸盐矿物)发生迅速溶解,改变了溶解性铁的组成。忽视这一机制可能不利于准确理解沙尘铁溶解性增强机理。

石英Al心和Ti-Li心电子自旋共振信号测年结果对比：以腾格里沙漠白碱湖地区BJ14钻孔中沉积物为例

早—中更新世沉积年代的确定是第四纪研究领域亟待解决的难题,电子自旋共振（ESR）测年法为该时段沉积物定年提供了可能。但已有的研究发现：石英Ti心和Al心ESR信号完全衰退“回零”或达到较稳定“残留”所需时间较长,因而其可信性备受质疑。本研究选取腾格里沙漠白碱湖地区BJ14钻孔中5个不同深度的沉积物,分别基于其中石英Ti心和Al心信号进行了ESR定年。测年结果显示：（1）2个样品基于Al心ESR信号与基于Ti-Li心ESR信号的测年结果在年龄误差范围内一致,其它3个样品Al心ESR测年结果较Ti-Li心测年结果偏老200—500 ka;（2）与该孔的古地磁测年结果对比表明,石英Ti-Li心ESR测年结果相对可靠。上述研究结果表明石英Ti-Li心的ESR测年结果至少能提供中更新世更为可信的沉积年龄。     

The impact of off-road vehicles on a desert ecosystem

The effects of operating a 4-wheel drive truck in a 9-ha area of the Mojave Desert were evaluated. A truck was driven over the same 0.9-km track 21 times between November 1973 and May 1974. The vehicle was also driven randomly around the area (1.3 to 3.4 km) 17 times between December 1973 and May 1974.Spring densities of annual plants in ruts of the regular track (8/m²) were less than those in control areas (46–112/m²), but densities in randomly driven plots (39/m²) did not differ significantly from controls. Severity of damage to shrubs was directly related to intensity of driving in the area. About 58% of shrubs growing in the regular track sustained estimated damage ranging from 81 to 100%. In randomly driven areas only 6% of shrubs were damaged to this extent, while about 61 % sustained damage from 0 to 20%.Numbers and kinds of rodents in control and driven areas were similar before and after the experiment. More young rodents were trapped in the experimental plot than in the control area during July 1974, and this may have been promoted by basal sprouting of new growth by damaged shrubs. Estimates of numbers of side-blotched lizards indicated similar densities before, during, and after the experiment. Counts of whiptail lizards in control and experimental areas were the same after the experiment, but counts of gridiron-tailed lizards were much lower in the driven area.     

Feature of Dust Particles in the Spring Free Troposphere over Dunhuang in Northwestern China: Electron Microscopic Experiments on Individual Particles Collected with a Balloon-borne Impactor

Free tropospheric aerosol particles were collected using a balloon-borne particle impactor in August of 2002 and March of 2003 at Dunhuang in northwestern China (40°00′N, 94°30′E), and the morphology and elemental composition of the aerosol particles were analyzed in order to understand the mixing state of coarse dust particles (diameter >1 μm) over the desert areas in the Asian continent in spring. Electron microscopic experiments on the particles revealed that dust particles were major constituents of coarse mode particles in the free troposphere over the Taklamakan Desert in spring and summer. Si-rich or Ca-rich particles are major components of dust particles collected in the free troposphere over dunhuang and the values of [number of Ca-rich particles]/[number of Si-rich particles] differs markedly between spring and summer, being about 0.3 in the spring of 2003 and about 1.0 in the summer of 2002 at heights 3–5 km above sea level. It is likely that the condition of the ground surface and the strength of vertical mixing in source areas of Asian dust are potential factors causing the difference in the chemical types of dust particles. Comparison of the elemental compositions of these particles with those of particles collected over Japan strongly suggests that these particles were chemically modified during their long-range transport in the free troposphere. Analysis of wind systems shows that both the predominating westerly wind in the free troposphere and the surface wind strongly controlled by the geographical structure of the Tarim Basin are important in the long-range transport of KOSA particles originating in the Taklamakan Desert.     

巴丹吉林沙漠腹地夏季不同天气条件下陆-湖面辐射收支与能量分配特征对比

论文以巴丹吉林沙漠腹地陆面和湖面能量平衡系统的定位观测数据为基础,对比分析了夏季不同天气条件下两种典型下垫面的辐射收支和能量分配之异同,评价了典型晴天的辐射收支与能量分配对季节平均气候态的代表性。结果显示,按“晴天-多云-阴天-降水”的顺序,陆面与湖面的总辐射、反射短波辐射和净辐射之日均值呈逐渐减小趋势,大气逆辐射则逐渐增大。湖面长波辐射亦随这一天气变化顺序逐渐增大,暗示地下水携带的热量和局地平流作用对湖水表面温度皆有影响。非降水天气时,陆面感热通量占净辐射的主要部分。云和降水皆会直接影响陆面的能量分配,感热通量一般随云量的增加而减小,潜热通量则逐渐增大。湖面典型晴天的午后存在逆温现象,然降水天气时,湖面空气温度降低较快,破坏了湖面上空的逆温层,即感热通量皆为正值。湖面的潜热通量主要决定于风速,故其对天气变化响应不明显。在地下水携带的热量和局地平流共同作用下,湖面的感热通量和潜热通量之和大于湖面的净辐射。不同天气下陆面和湖面的波文比差异较大。陆面典型晴天的辐射收支和能量分配与季节平均气候态相差不大,湖面的典型晴天则不具有季节平均气候态的代表性。
