Eco-Environmental Degradation in the Source Region of the Yellow River, Northeast Qinghai-Xizang Plateau

The Yellow River is the second longest river in China and the cradle of the Chinese civilization. The source region of the Yellow River is the most important water holding area for the Yellow River, about 49.2% of the whole runoff comes from this region. However, for the special location, it is a region with most fragile eco-environment in China as well. Eco-environmental degradation in the source region of the Yellow River has been a very serious ecological and socially economic problem. According to census data, historical documents and climatic information, during the last half century, especially the last 30 years, great changes have taken place in the eco-environment of this region. Such changes are mainly manifested in the temporal-spatial changes of water environment, deglaciation, permafrost reduction, vegetation degeneracy and desertification extent, which led to land capacity decreasing and river disconnecting. At present, desertification of the region is showing an accelerating tendency. This paper analyzes the present status of eco-environment degradation in this region supported by GIS and RS, as well as field investigation and indoor analysis, based on knowledge, multi-source data is gathered and the classification is worked out, deals with their natural and anthropogenic causes, and points out that in the last half century the desertification and environmental degradation of this region are mainly attributed to human activities under the background of regional climate changes. To halt further degradation of the environment of this region, great efforts should be made to use land resources rationally, develop advantages animal agriculture and protect the natural grassland.     

黄土高原人工刺槐林土壤团聚体中不同活性有机碳从南到北的变化特征

不同粒径团聚体中的不同活性有机碳对人工林土壤质量改善及碳库动态平衡有重要的作用.本研究在黄土高原地区,从南向北沿着降雨和温度降低梯度选择淳化、安塞、绥德和神木共4个地区,比较研究了人工刺槐林土壤团聚体不同的活性有机碳含量变化及其影响因素.通过湿筛法将土壤团聚体分级为粉黏粒（<0.053 mm）、微团聚体（0.25~0.053 mm）和大团聚体（>0.25 mm）,用Leffory法测定3种粒径土壤团聚体低、中、高活性有机碳含量.结果表明：①4个样区大团聚体（>0.25 mm）含量由南至北呈先降低后增加趋势,微团聚体（0.25~0.053 mm）含量逐渐增加,粉黏粒（<0.053 mm）含量则先增后减.②4个样区中土壤团聚体3种活性有机碳含量大小顺序为低活性 > 中活性 > 高活性,其中,粉黏粒（<0.053 mm）低活性有机碳含量为1.02~1.52 g·kg^-1,中活性有机碳含量为0.53~0.91 g·kg^-1,高活性有机碳含量为0.28~0.43 g·kg^-1;而微团聚体（0.25~0.053 mm）低活性有机碳含量为1.02~2.02 g·kg^-1,中活性有机碳含量为0.46~1.20 g·kg^-1,高活性有机碳含量为0.31~0.85 g·kg^-1;大团聚体（>0.25 mm）低活性有机碳含量为1.08~3.07 g·kg^-1,中活性有机碳含量为0.70~1.96 g·kg^-1,高活性有机碳含量为0.48~1.24 g·kg^-1.③黄土高原人工刺槐林3种粒径团聚体的低、中、高活性有机碳含量主要与年均气温（MAT）、年均降雨量（MAP）、土壤SOC、TN和含水率显著相关（p<0.05）,且在同一活性下,活性有机碳含量与MAT、MAP、土壤TN、SOC、含水率的相关性随着土壤团聚体粒径的增大而越显著.研究结果对理解黄土高原土壤团聚体活性有机碳含量在空间尺度上的变化特征和影响因素具有重要意义.     

黄土塬面保护区潜在蒸发量时空变化及其与气象、环流因子关系分析

黄土塬面是黄土高原地区主要的农业分布区和人口聚居地,地位十分重要。黄土塬面潜在蒸发量（ET₀）的研究对于区域水循环研究、水土流失防治及农业的可持续发展具有重要意义。基于黄土塬面保护区1960—2017年的气象数据,利用Penman-Monteith模型、小波分析、Mann-Kendall非参数检验等方法研究了黄土塬面保护区ET₀的变化规律及其与气象、环流因子间的关系。结果表明：（1）黄土塬面保护区多年平均ET₀为1173.4 mm,总体呈现增长趋势,增长率为21.1 mm/10 a;其生长季平均ET₀值及增长率均高于非生长季平均ET₀。（2）该区多年平均ET₀空间分布特征表现为东部高西部低,西部甘肃塬区多年平均ET₀远低于东部山西塬区。（3）过去58年来,区域年均、生长季、非生长季ET₀均呈现出增长趋势,但空间差异明显;研究区年均ET₀存在着10年、30年和50年的震荡周期,其中以30年周期为主周期。（4）气温是控制区域ET₀变化的最重要的气象因子,但气温对ET₀的影响具有明显的空间差异,在整个研究区内最低气温影响最显著;而甘肃塬区和陕西塬区的ET₀变化主要受平均气温变化的控制,在山西塬区最高气温的变化是区域ET₀变化的主要控制因子。（5）遥相关分析结果显示太平洋/北美指数（PNA）与北大西洋年代尺度振荡（AMO）对该区域ET₀变化有一定影响,西太平洋海温指数（WPI）的变化影响区域非生长季ET₀变化。

黄土洞穴本身是一种地质灾害,对黄土地区的运输、管道、拦蓄水工程、厂房、民居等各类工业与民用建筑构成不同程度威胁;还可促发其它地质灾害的发生和发展,恶化黄土高原地区的生态环境和地质环境。文章根据野外和室内研究所积累的资料,对黄土洞穴的地质灾害效应以及环境变化效应进行了初步研究。其研究成果不仅为黄土洞穴工程灾害的防治提供科学依据,而且还可进一步了解黄土地区水土流失的发育规律及其第四纪以来的地质环境变化状况。     

The effects of land use and its patterns on soil properties in a small catchment of the Loess Plateau

Due to relatively strong human activities in the hilly area of Loess Plateau,the natural vegetation has been destroyed,and landscape pattern based on agricultural land matrix was land use mosaic composing of shrub land,grassland,woolland and orchard.This pattern has an important effect on soil moisture and soil nutrients.The Danangou catchment,a typical small catchment,was selected to study the effects of land use and its patterns on soil moisture and nutrients in this paper.The results are as follows:The comparisons of soil moisture among seven land uses for wet year and dry year were performed:(1)the average of soil moisture content for whole catchment was 12.11% in wet year,while it was 9.37% in dry year;(2)soil moisture among seven land uses was significantly different in dry year,but not in wet year;(3) form wet year to dry year,the profile type of soil moisture changed from decreasing type to fluctuation-type and from fluctuant type to increasing type;(4)the increasing trend in soil moisture from the top to foot of hillslope occurred in simple land use along slope,while complicated distribution of soil moisture was observed in multiple land uses along slope.The relationships between soil nutrients and land uses and landscape positions were analysed:(1)five nutrient contents of soil organic matter(SOM),total N(TN),available N(AN),total P(TP) and available P(AP) in hilly area were lower than that in other areas.SOM content was less than 1%,TN content less than 0.07%,and TP fallow land and cropland,and higher level in soil fertility was found in crop-fruit intercropping land among croplands;(3)soil nutrient distribution and responses to landscape positions were variable depending on slope and the location of land use types.     

The spatial and temporal distribution of total ozone over China

In this paper the grid data of total ozone mapping spectrograph (TOMS) installed on Nimbus-7 satellite (1978 to 1994) was used and the spatial and temporal distribution of total ozone over China was analyzed. The research indicates that the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau destroyed the latitudinal distribution of total ozone of China and the low value closed center emerged over Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Long time change trends of seasonal total ozone of Qinghai-Tibet plateau are provided. It shows that the most obvious decrease of total ozone occurs in winter (Jan.), then in summer (Jul.), the relevant slow change occurs in autumn (Oct.) and spring (Apr.).
