祁连山北麓生态移民的生计风险与应对策略选择——以武威市为例

生计风险作为移民社会整合的标尺,已成为研究生态移民生计及可持续发展的重要视角。以祁连山北麓的武威市为例,利用Binary Logistic模型分析了移民生计风险对其应对策略的影响机制,以期为制定有效的生计风险防范体系提供科学支撑。结果表明：（1）武威市生态移民的生计类型以非农户为主,纯农户比例不足10%,生计多样化指数仅为1.74且存在显著的区域差异。（2）67.44%的移民面临着多重风险,以经济风险为主,生活开支大、新分棚圈耕地质量差、返贫是主要的风险要素。（3）应对策略主要为向亲朋借钱、银行贷款、外出打工和减少开支,后顾生计则多选择扩大养殖、长期打工和维持现状,不同县区移民的策略选择略有不同。（4）政策、福利和经济风险会显著影响移民对“向银行贷款”“减少开支”及“外出打工”等应对策略的选择,而后顾生计的选择更多受制于生计资本储量,而政策及经济风险的影响较低。移民户的类型对策略选择影响显著,非农型兼业户更倾向于选择“向银行贷款”和“扩大养殖”。     

滹沱河流域山区地表水-地下水水化学空间变化特征、影响因素及其来源

滹沱河流域山区作为华北平原地下水的补给源区,其径流量逐渐减少对华北平原地下水可持续利用提出了巨大的挑战.深入研究滹沱河上游山区地表水-地下水水文地球化学过程及其控制因素,可为全面认识区域水资源状况及水资源可持续利用提供参考.基于同位素、水文地球化学和数理统计方法,分析区域河水、井水和泉水来源、水化学空间变化特征、影响因素及离子来源.结果表明,滹沱河上游山区流域河水、井水和泉水均受大气降水补给,且受自然因素和人为因素的共同影响,其水化学特征现出较大的空间差异.整体来看干流河水水化学类型相对集中,受采矿影响较大支流汇入的河段(上游和下游),河水水化学类型主要为Ca·Mg-SO₄·HCO₃;受自然植被影响的支流汇入的河段(清水河和龙华河之间),河水水化学类型为Ca·Mg-HCO₃·SO₄.此外,各支流河水水化学类型也存在较大差异.上游峪口河和峨河支流主要水化学类型与干流一致为Ca·Mg-SO₄·HCO₃;中游牧马河和清水河支流主要水化学类型均为Ca-HCO     

基于SPOT VEGETATION的秦岭南坡近10年来植被覆盖变化及其对温度的响应

利用1km分辨率的SPOT VEGETATION(SPOTVGT)数据对秦岭南坡1998～2007年植被覆盖空间变化特征进行分析,并研究了温度与年最大NDVI(归一化植被指数)值的相关性.结果表明:秦岭南坡年最大NDVI值大于0.57的面积占总面积的97%.植被覆盖增加地区的面积总体大于退化的面积,但年最大NDVI值显著减小的像元占像元总数的4.45%以上,且部分阔叶林分布区的NDVI值显著降低;草灌丛是秦岭南坡退化最严重的植被类型.年最大NDVI值与前一年8月至当年7月平均温度具有显著的相关性,其大小随平均温度的变化符合y=-0.004x2-0.0015x+0.7168(p0.05).在研究区范围内,当前一年8月至当年7月平均温度低于某一温度(约为(13.0±0.2)℃)时,其与年最大NDVI呈正相关,而高于另一温度界限(约为(14.4±0.2)℃)时则呈负相关,其中研究区南端的人为耕作区表现尤为敏感.     

横断山区干旱河谷气候变化趋势研究

利用横断山区干旱河谷内20个典型气象台站的长时序逐月气温、降水、相对湿度、日照时间、极端最高气温和极端最低气温等数据,采用线性倾向估计、Mann-Kendall趋势检验以及集中度和集中期等分析方法,研究了横断山区干旱河谷的气候变化趋势.结果表明：（1）全球变化背景下,横断山区干旱河谷平均气温总体呈现升高趋势,升幅为0.11℃·（10 a）-1,较整个横断山区的0.15℃·（10 a）-1略低,冬季升温幅度高于其他季节;（2）金沙江下游的元谋、东川和巧家段河谷呈现持续降温趋势,特别是春季降温较为明显;（3）横断山区干旱河谷降水量呈微弱减少趋势,为-1.48 mm·（10 a）-1,这主要是由于夏季降水减少量超过其他季节降水增加量所致;（4）多数河谷站点年降水量的集中度呈微弱下降趋势,而集中期则有所提前,但不明显;（5）干旱河谷相对湿度和日照时间在近几十年间均呈现减少趋势,相对湿度每10 a约减少0.16百分点,而日照时间则平均每10a减少24.26 h.     

Persistent halogenated organic contaminants and mercury in northern fulmars (Fulmarus glacialis) from the Canadian Arctic

Northern fulmars from two breeding colonies in the Canadian Arctic, Cape Vera and Prince Leopold Island, were analyzed for organochlorine pesticides, PCBs, perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) and total mercury (Hg). Hepatic concentrations of organochlorines and Hg were highest in the male fulmars from Cape Vera. Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) concentrations did not vary significantly between sexes or colonies. However, concentrations of the perfluorinated carboxylates (PFCAs) were higher in fulmars from Cape Vera than Prince Leopold Island. The C₁₁-C₁₅ PFCAs averaged 90% of the PFCA profile at both colonies. Polychorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), dibenzofurans (PCDFs) and non-ortho PCBs (NO-PCBs) were measured only in birds from Prince Leopold Island. Concentrations of PCDDs, PCDFs, NO-PCBs and Toxic Equivalents (TEQs) did not differ significantly between sexes. ΣTEQ was comprised mainly of ΣTEQ_PCDF. Concentrations of Hg and the persistent halogenated compounds reported in this study were below published toxicological threshold values for wild birds.     

Assessing environmental factors in red spruce (Picea rubens Sarg.) growth in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, USA: From conceptual model, envirogram, to simulation model

This study provides a method for assessing a multiplicity of environmental factors in red spruce growth in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (GSMNP) of Southeastern USA. Direct and indirect factors in the annual growth increment are first organized into a schematic input-output envirogram (ARIRS), and this information is then used to construct a simulation model (ARIM). The envirogram represents a structured conceptualization of most environmental factors involved in growth, as developed from relevant literature. This interdisciplinary synthesis distinguishes direct vs. indirect factors in growth and takes account of the systems ecology concept that indirect factors may be as important as or more important than direct ones in regulating growth. The ARIRS envirogram summarizes hierarchically organized, within- and cross-scale, local-to-global interactions, and its construction makes it obvious that growth is influenced by many cross-scale spatiotemporal interactions. More research on genecology is still needed to clarify the role of phenotypic plasticity and adaptive capacity in nutrient cycling, global change, and human disturbance.     

天山乌鲁木齐河源区表层雪中含氮离子季节变化特征

通过2004—2007年在天山乌鲁木齐河源1号冰川积累区采集的136个表层雪样品,分析了山岳冰川表层雪中主要含氮离子（NO-3与NH4）的季节变化特征.结果表明,湿季表层雪中的含氮离子浓度一般比干季高,由于湿季NO-3与NH4＋的输入量与流失量均较大,因此湿季浓度波动比干季更强烈.气溶胶与表层雪中的NO-3浓度在干季存...     

1960~2014年秦岭南北无霜期时空变化特征及对比分析

全球气候变暖背景下,自然生态环境敏感区农业热量资源的时空特征研究具有重要的现实意义。依据1960~2014年秦岭南北47个气象站数据,利用线性趋势、M-K检验和kriging插值法对无霜期时空变化进行分析。结果显示：从时间上看,秦岭南北无霜期随纬度增加而减少,初霜日和无霜期在年际波动中略有下降后快速上升,终霜日在波动中略有上升后快速下降。55年来无霜期呈显著的延长趋势且发生增多突变,秦岭以北、秦岭南坡、汉水流域和巴巫谷地的延长速率分别为0.400 6、0.280 4、0.396 1和0.407 5 d/a,突变年份分别为1999、2002、2001和1990年。从空间上看,无霜期平均值和标准差由南向北增加,80%站点初霜日推后、终霜日提前和无霜期延长。多数无霜期延长是初霜日推后与终霜日提前的共同影响。无霜期在28个站点呈波动变化,19个站点发生突变,突变时间多在1990s~2000s,2000s的突变区域面积最大且集中分布在东北部。分析结果可为气候变化对生态环境和农业生产布局的影响提供参考。     

Modeling postfire conifer mortality for long-range planning

A model is presented for predicting mortality of conifers after wildfire. The model requires stand data inputs and is linked with a mathematical fire behavior model that calculates fireline intensity. Fraction of crown volume killed is calculated for each species in a stand based on mensurational data. Duration of lethal heat at the base of trees is calculated from fuel consumption and burning time values. Fraction of crown volume killed and the ratio of critical time for cambial kill to duration of lethal heat are independent variables in a function that calculates probability of mortality. The model produces reasonable estimates of stand mortality for fire and site characteristics found in the northern Rocky Mountains, USA. It has a broad resolution appropriate for use in fire management planning and has potential applications for coniferous forests throughout the United States.     

Importance of conserving large and old trees to continuity of tree-related microhabitats

Protecting structural features, such as tree-related microhabitats (TreMs), is a cost-effective tool crucial for biodiversity conservation applicable to large forested landscapes. Although the development of TreMs is influenced by tree diameter, species, and vitality, the relationships between tree age and TreM profile remain poorly understood. Using a tree-ring-based approach and a large data set of 8038 trees, we modeled the effects of tree age, diameter, and site characteristics on TreM richness and occurrence across some of the most intact primary temperate forests in Europe, including mixed beech and spruce forests. We observed an overall increase in TreM richness on old and large trees in both forest types. The occurrence of specific TreM groups was variably related to tree age and diameter, but some TreM groups (e.g., epiphytes) had a stronger positive relationship with tree species and elevation. Although many TreM groups were positively associated with tree age and diameter, only two TreM groups in spruce stands reacted exclusively to tree age (insect galleries and exposed sapwood) without responding to diameter. Thus, the retention of trees for conservation purposes based on tree diameter appears to be a generally feasible approach with a rather low risk of underrepresentation of TreMs. Because greater tree age and diameter positively affected TreM development, placing a greater emphasis on conserving large trees and allowing them to reach older ages, for example, through the establishment of conservation reserves, would better maintain the continuity of TreM resource and associated biodiversity. However, this approach may be difficult due to the widespread intensification of forest management and global climate change.
