排水造林对小兴安岭沼泽湿地土壤酶活性及氮含量的影响

选取不同排水年限的兴安落叶松人工林湿地(1974,1985,1992,2003年排水)和天然兴安落叶松沼泽湿地,研究排水对小兴安岭沼泽湿地土壤酶活性及氮素含量的影响。结果表明:湿地排水造林后,表层土壤脲酶活性降低47.3%~84.3%;蔗糖酶活性降低49.2%~72.4%。表层土壤NH_3-N降低了6.9%~19.7%;NO_3~--N降低了63.2%~80.3%。在垂直剖面上,排水湿地的NH3-N含量随土层深度增加而增大,天然森林湿地随土层深度增加而减小。排水对土壤表层土壤酶活性及各氮素含量影响显著(P<0.05)。     

南水北调中线水源地不同植被类型坡地土壤水分特征研究——以秦岭南坡宁陕县寨沟小流域为例

为了解不同植被类型土壤水资源的变化规律,选择南水北调中线水源区宁陕县寨沟区域典型植被针阔混交林、针叶林、板栗林、灌木林、荒坡草地和坡耕地为研究对象,通过样地调查与实验分析的方法对其土壤水分物理特征及有机质含量进行测定研究.结果表明,各种有林地的土壤容重、孔隙度和有机质等理化特征均优于荒坡和坡耕地;针阔混交林土壤含水量最高,蓄水能力明显好于其它植被类型;在垂直剖面上,各种植被类型坡地土壤含水量和饱和蓄水量随土壤深度的增加基本呈递减趋势,但有林地下降幅度较大,表层含水量明显高于荒坡与坡耕地表层.由此可见,在涵养水源方面,针阔混交林最好,针叶林、板栗林与灌木林次之,荒坡与坡耕地较差.     

Socio-economic vulnerability to climate change in the central mountainous region of eastern Mexico

Climate change effects are expected to be more severe for some segments of society than others. In Mexico, climate variability associated with climate change has important socio-economic and environmental impacts. From the central mountainous region of eastern Veracruz, Mexico, we analyzed data of total annual precipitation and mean annual temperature from 26 meteorological stations (1922–2008) and from General Circulation Models. We developed climate change scenarios based on the observed trends with projections to 2025, 2050, 2075, and 2100, finding considerable local climate changes with reductions in precipitation of over 700 mm and increases in temperature of ~9°C for the year 2100. Deforested areas located at windward were considered more vulnerable, representing potential risk for natural environments, local communities, and the main crops cultivated (sugarcane, coffee, and corn). Socio-economic vulnerability is exacerbated in areas where temperature increases and precipitation decreases.

大别山区生境质量时空特征及自然-人为因素驱动机制

大别山区是中国南北地理生态过渡带东延余脉,山地系统表现出高度的异质性和敏感易变性,识别山地生境质量的空间特征对揭示自然和人为因素的时空驱动机制及差异具有重要指示意义.基于PLUS-InVEST以及地理探测器方法,分析大别山区2000~2020年生境质量的时空动态变化及驱动机制,并对2030年土地利用和生境质量进行多情景模拟预测.2000~2020年,区内土地利用类型以耕地（50%~54%）和林地（42%~45%）为主,荒地（2%~4%）面积占比最低,大别山区耕地变化最大,面积减少2 311.45 km²,林地和建设用地次之,面积分别增加1 431.37 km²和924.52 km²,灌木和荒地的变化较小,面积分别减少7.72 km²和19.10 km²;大别山区的生境质量与海拔高度呈正相关,中东部生境质量较高,北部和南部生境质量较差;2000~2010年生境质量均值从0.594上升到0.608,到2020年下降到0.603,生境质量出现了先上升后下降的趋势.地理探测器结果表明,影响大别山区生境质量的主要驱动因素是地形起伏度、土地利用强度和海拔,NDVI的影响随着时间逐渐增强.2030年生境质量的预测结果显示,4种发展情景下,区域内整体生境质量仍然呈现下降的趋势,并且在生态保护情景下,依旧呈现降低的趋势,只是降低的速率减小.研究结果可为大别山区未来土地利用类型空间规划提供优化策略.     

长江上游玉龙雪山植物物种多样性形成的探讨

玉龙雪山位于云南省西北部的丽江市,是界于澜沧江和金沙江之间云岭山脉的主峰。南临丽江坝,东、西、北三面均为金沙江环绕,处于中国三大植物多样性中心之一的横断山区的核心地带,具有很高的植物物种多样性。该区有藻类植物31科72属196种,地衣植物17科20余种,在苔藓植物中有苔类45种、藓类130种,蕨类植物约有220 多种,种子植物有171科804属2 646种(不含栽培种及种下等级),其中中国特有种1 631种,占本区种子植物总数的61.46%。对玉龙雪山植物物种多样性的形成进行了探讨,认为玉龙雪山丰富的植物物种多样性主要来源于3个第三纪古植物区系成分即古北大陆、古地中海以及古南大陆成分,其中以古北大陆成分为主。之后的新构造运动及第四纪冰期冰川的反复作用,形成了玉龙雪山复杂多样的生态环境。来源于以上3个古植物区系成分的植物物种在以后的进化过程中经过不断分化、发展以及与临近区域的交流,形成了现在丰富的植物物种多样性格局。     

横断山区季风期水分盈亏量时空变化特征及其与若干气候指数的相关性分析

基于横断山区27 个气象台站1961-2012 年的实测数据,应用Penman-Monteith 模型、气候倾向率空间插值、交叉小波和相干小波变换等方法分析横断山区季风期水分盈亏量的时空变化趋势及其与若干气候指数之间的相互关系。结果表明:近52 a 来,横断山区季风期水分盈亏量在波动中呈增加趋势,其增加速率为5.87 mm/10 a;且在整个时段内,横断山区季风期水分盈亏量均呈盈余状态。该区季风期水分盈亏量空间差异也较为明显,水分盈亏量从南到北逐渐降低,但其增加趋势却从南到北逐渐增大。季风期水分盈亏量与海拔呈现负相关,即水分盈亏量随着海拔的升高而降低;在海拔相对较低的区域,水分盈亏量较高;反之,水分盈亏量较低。此外,该区域季风期水分盈亏量与北极涛动(AO)、太平洋年代际振荡(PDO)和厄尔尼诺-南方涛动(ENSO)气候指数等存在多尺度的显著相关性。     

Growth performance and range shift of the subalpine fir (Abies fargesii) in the Qinling Mountains,China

Trees in the subalpine environment, a particularly vulnerable area being the first to reflect climate changes, are most likely to show strong effects of climate variability. The aim of this study was to identify growth responses of subalpine fir (Abies fargesii) to climate variability, and investigate range shifts along an altitudinal gradient in the subalpine region of the Qinling Mountains, China. Standard correlation functional analysis showed different growth responses of fir trees to climatic variables between north and south aspects. In the north aspect, radial growth was significantly positively correlated with temperatures in early spring (February–April) and summer (July) of the current year, while radial growth was significantly positively correlated with temperatures in November and December of the previous year and early spring (February–April) of the current year in the south aspect. Analysis of age structure distribution displayed a decrease in number of mature fir trees and an increase in number of saplings along the altitudinal gradient on both aspects. Fir saplings/seedlings only occur in the treeline environment, and this fir population was significantly younger than that at lower elevations. Thus, fir trees show different radial growth patterns in response to climatic variability between north and south aspects, and age-class distributions along the altitudinal gradient imply an upward shift in range in the subalpine region during the past century in the Qinling Mountains of China.     

What affects perceptions of local residents toward protected areas? A case study from Kure Mountains National Park,Turkey

Local residents’ active participation is essential in protected areas to ensure achievement of conservation goals. One of the important steps for ensuring the active participation of local residents is to determine the perceptions and the factors that influence the perceptions of the local residents toward the protected area. In this context, the researchers of this study try to come up with the perception formed among the local residents toward the protected areas and especially toward Kure Mountains National Park (KMNP), the factors that would influence their perceptions and the ways how their perceptions are influenced. Multivariate linear regression was used to examine the putative influence of variables on perceptions toward protected areas. According to study results, the survey respondents have displayed a positive perception toward the protected areas in the world and in KMNP. It was determined that the respondents formed a positive perception from their economic, environmental and recreational interaction with KMNP. Also, the outcomes of this study showed that the perception developed by local residents toward the protected areas in the world and KMNP are influenced by gender, the level of satisfaction derived from the national park, duration of their residence in the national park, and that the perception that KMNP conservation are beneficial for the source values of the area, the current protection works in the world, as well as its impacts on their living conditions.     

Adapting the RUSLE and GIS to model soil erosion risk in a mountains karst watershed, Guizhou Province, China

Soil erosion is a serious environmental problem in Guizhou Province, which is located in the centre of the karst areas of southwestern China. Unfortunately, Guizhou Province suffers from a lack of financial resources to research, monitor and model soil erosion at large watershed. In order to assess the soil erosion risk, soil erosion modeling at the watershed scale are urgently needed to be undertaken. This study integrated the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) with a Geographic Information System (GIS) to estimate soil loss and identify the risk erosion areas in the Maotiao River watershed, which is a typical rural watershed in Guizhou Province. All factors used in the RUSLE were calculated for the watershed using local data. It was classified into five categories ranging from minimal risk to extreme erosion risk depending on the calculated soil erosion amount. The soil erosion map was linked to land use, elevation and slope maps to explore the relationship between soil erosion and environmental factors and identify the areas of soil erosion risk. The results can be used to advice the local government in prioritizing the areas of immediate erosion mitigation. The integrated approach allows for relatively easy, fast, and cost-effective estimation of spatially distributed soil erosion. It thus indicates that RUSLE-GIS model is a useful and efficient tool for evaluating and mapping soil erosion risk at a large watershed scale in Guizhou Province.     

近40 a秦岭生境质量时空变化特征及驱动机制

运用InVEST模型,研究秦岭生境质量时空变化及驱动机制,以期为秦岭生态文明建设与秦岭区域可持续发展提供理论依据。结果表明：秦岭土地利用方式以林地和草地为主,主要分布于中、西部,耕地与建设用地主要分布在东、南部。人类对秦岭干扰程度在2000年后开始增加,土地利用变幅超过总面积的2%。1980年、1990年、2000年、2010年、2020年,秦岭的平均生境质量（范围0—?1）分别为0.7592、0.7594、0.7586、0.7585、0.7617,均处于“较高”等级。空间分布上,秦岭生境质量中、西部等级高,而东、南部等级低。在像元尺度上,秦岭生境质量较为稳定,显著变化的区域面积仅为2.74%。显著升高的区域主要集中在西南部略阳、勉县等区县,显著降低的区域主要集中在东部的洛南、商州等区县。秦岭的生境质量表现出显著的空间集聚特征,21世纪后,秦岭高质量生境集聚区域面积扩张,低质量的生境集聚区域面积降低。土地利用程度是影响秦岭生境质量最大的驱动因子,与之呈现显著的负相关关系,且影响范围分布于全域。秦岭生境质量的降低源于人类活动引起生境威胁源——建设用地与耕地的扩张,而生境质量的升高可能源于...
