西藏中部草地及农田生态系统的退化及其机制

西藏中部农田，特别是兼具草地与林地两大功能的草地生态系统对区域生态环境具有重要的调节和控制作用。近年来，草地及农田生态系统呈现出整体退化及日趋严重的态势，并逐步成为西藏风蚀沙化、水土流失等最为严重的地区。文章在阐述退化生态系统的内在特征及其环境效应的基础上，就草地及农田生态系统退化的发生机制进行了深入分析。

西藏“一江两河”流域中部地区草地资源特点

（西藏“一江两河”流域中部地区是自治区工农业经济最集中发达的地区，畜牧业生产在本区农业经济中占有一定的比重。本文阐述了本区草地的资源状况，生产力特点及草地的分布规律。研究发现：本区草地面积５２５．４万ｈａ，草地类型较复杂，垂直分布明显，牧草组成较丰富，营养价值较高。但草地生产力水平较低，平均产草量为１２７５－１３５０ｋｇ／ｈａ。从草地资源的水平分布格局看，存在着明显的南北差异，雅鲁藏布江以北占６３％以上。从时间分布看，存在着明显的季节性差异，其冬季的草地现存量仅为秋季的１０－３０％，但本区饲草饲料构成、分布格局与畜牧业生产是相协调的，构成了一个相对匹配的草地畜牧业整体。     

Response of CH4 emission of paddy fields to land management practices at a microcosmic cultivation scale in China

The terrestrial ecosystem may be either a source or a sink of CH4 in rice paddies, depending, to a great extent, on the change of ecosystem types and land use patterns. CH4 emission fluxes from paddy fields under 4 cultivation patterns (conventional plain culture of rice(T1), no-tillage and ridge culture of rice(T2), no-tillage and ridge culture of rice and wheat (T3), and rice-wheat rotation(T4)) were measured with the closed chamber technique in 1996 and 1998 in Chongqing, China. The results showed that differences existed in CH4 emission from paddy fields under these land management practices. In 1996 and 1998, CH4 emission was 71.48% and 78.82% (T2), 65.93% and 57.18% (T3), and 61.53% and 34.22% (T4) of that in T1 during the rice growing season. During the non-rice growing season, CH4 emission from rice fields was 76.23% in T2 and 38.69% in T]. The accumulated annual CH, emission in T2, T3 and T4 in 1996 decreased by 33.53%, 63.30% and 65.?3%, respectively, as compared with that in TI. In 1998. the accumulated annual CH4 emission in T], T2, T3 and T4 was 116.96g/m^2, 68.44g/m^2, 19.70g/ms and 11.80g/m^2, respectively. Changes in soil physical and chemical properties, in thermal and moisture conditions in the soil and in rice plant growth induced by different land use patterns were the dominant causes for the difference in CH4 emission observed. The relative contribution of various influencing factors to CH, emission from paddy fields differed significantly under different land use patterns. However, the general trend was that chlorophyll content in rice leaves, air temperature and temperature at the 5 cm soil layer play a major role in CH4 emission from paddy fields and the effects of illumination, relative humidity and water layer depth in the paddy field and CH4 concentration in the crop canopy were relatively non-significant. Such conservative land use patterns as no-tillage and ridge culture of rice with or without rotation with wheat are thought to be beneficial to reducing CH4 emission from paddy fields and are, therefore, recommended as a significant solution to the problems of global(climatic) change.     

Soil erosion in developing countries: A politicoeconomic explanation

Soil erosion is accelerating in developing countries of Asia, Africa, and Latin America. It has threatened the livelihood of millions of peasants, for agriculture is their economic mainstay. A probe into the forces causing erosion reveals that the elite’s resolve to accumulate ever more wealth and to maintain, consolidate, or expand their sociopolitical power and the necessity of the poor to fulfill their requirements of food, fuelwood, and fodder are the two major factors accelerating soil erosion. Unless the vast masses of poor people are integrated into the national mainstream through the implementation of equitable and redistributive development policies, it is impossible to control the accelerating rate of soil erosion and thus to achieve the objective of sustainable development. In this article, the phenomenon “soil erosion” is studied with the sol e focus on causation through anthropogenic factors.

Predicting Risk of Habitat Conversion in Native Temperate Grasslands

Abstract: Native grasslands that support diverse populations of birds are being converted to cropland at an increasing rate in the Prairie Pothole Region of North America. Although limited funding is currently available to mitigate losses, accurate predictions of probability of conversion would increase the efficiency of conservation measures. We studied conversion of native grassland to cropland in the Missouri Coteau region of North and South Dakota (U.S.A.) during 1989–2003. We estimated the probability of conversion of native grassland to cropland with satellite imagery and logistic regression models that predicted risk of conversion and by comparing the overlap between areas of high biological value and areas most vulnerable to conversion. Annualized probability of conversion was 0.004, and 36,540 ha of native grassland were converted to cropland during the period of our study. Our predictive models fit the data and correctly predicted 70% of observed conversions of grassland. Probability of conversion varied spatially and was correlated with landscape features like amount of surrounding grassland, slope, and soil productivity. Tracts of high biological value were not always at high risk of conversion. We concluded the most biologically valuable areas that are most vulnerable to conversion should be prioritized for conservation. This approach can be applied broadly to other systems and offers great utility for implementing conservation in areas with spatially variable biological value and probability of conversion.     

全球变暖对青藏高原腹地草地资源的影响

全球变化导致青藏高原腹地气候的暖干化趋势,也引起该区高寒草甸植被向高寒草原植被的退化。研究区内为高寒草甸一高寒草原过渡区,高寒草甸植被的退化速率为14.2km/10a,而相应地在退化区内生物总量亦呈下降趋势。气候暖干化是引起高原腹地植被退化的原因。而植被退化与区域生物总量的下降将成为影响该区环境自调能力和牧业经济发展的消极因素。     

Nitrous Oxide Concentrations in the Soil of a Mown Grassland: Comparison of Model Results with Soil Profile Measurements

Nitrous oxide (N₂O) concentrations in the soilprofile of a fertilized grassland on the Swiss plateauwere measured at irregular intervals during one year.Air samples were taken from air-permeable tubesinstalled at depths between 2 and 100 cm belowthe surface. Highest concentrations in thetopsoil were observed following precipitationafter fertilization. In the subsoil,concentrations were highest when the soil watercontent fell below about 92% after a wet periodand mineral nitrogen was available from priorfertilization. N₂O concentrations in thetopsoil were simulated with the process-basedgrassland ecosystem model PaSim 2.5 (PastureSimulation Model) and compared with measured soilN₂O concentrations. The model simulated wellthe concentration peaks after fertilizeradditions and the concentrations in winter. Butthe simulated baseline concentrations during thegrowing season were overestimated. Possiblecauses for this discrepancy are discussed andsuggestions are made to improve the model.
