模拟降雨试验研究神东矿区不同阶段堆积弃土的水土流失

选择了神东矿区内坡度范围在30°～35°之间,弃土时间分别为2002～2003年、2000～2001年、1998～1999年、1996～1997年、1994～1995年、1992～1993年、1990～1991年以及原状土共计8个试验区进行强度为1.5和2.5mm·min-1的土壤侵蚀模拟试验.经过数据处理,获得了16场降雨的累积产沙曲线;利用统计软件SPSS11.5进行因子分析,确定了影响土壤侵蚀的主要因子为弃土堆积时间和土壤的植被覆盖度.结果表明,不同阶段弃土具有明显不同的抗侵蚀能力;随着堆积时间的增加,弃土的植被覆盖度和抗侵蚀能力都有较明显的提高;弃土时间超过7a的地区植被和抗侵蚀能力都有较好的恢复,而堆积时间超过10a的弃土基本达到原状土土壤的抗侵蚀水平.     

GRASS VERSUS TREES: MANAGING RIPARIAN AREAS TO BENEFIT STREAMS OF CENTRAL NORTH AMERICA1

ABSTRACT: Forestation of riparian areas has long been promoted to restore stream ecosystems degraded by agriculture in central North America. Although trees and shrubs in the riparian zone can provide many benefits to streams, grassy or herbaceous riparian vegetation can also provide benefits and may be more appropriate in some situations. Here we review some of the positive and negative implications of grassy versus wooded riparian zones and discuss potential management outcomes. Compared to wooded areas, grassy riparian areas result in stream reaches with different patterns of bank stability, erosion, channel morphology, cover for fish, terrestrial runoff, hydrology, water temperature, organic matter inputs, primary production, aquatic macroinvertebrates, and fish. Of particular relevance in agricultural regions, grassy riparian areas may be more effective in reducing bank erosion and trapping suspended sediments than wooded areas. Maintenance of grassy riparian vegetation usually requires active management (e.g., mowing, burning, herbicide treatments, and grazing), as successional processes will tend ultimately to favor woody vegetation. Riparian agricultural practices that promote a dense, healthy, grassy turf, such as certain types of intensively managed livestock grazing, have potential to restore degraded stream ecosystems.     

LANDSLIDE INITIATION,RUNOUT, AND DEPOSITION WITHIN CLEARCUTS AND OLD‐GROWTH FORESTS OF ALASKA1

ABSTRACT: More than 300 landslides and debris flows were triggered by an October 1993 storm on Prince of Wales Island, southeast Alaska. Initiation, runout, and deposition patterns of landslides that occurred within clearcuts, second‐growth, and old‐growth forests were examined. Blowdown and snags, associated with cedar decline and “normal” rates of mortality, were found adjacent to at least 75 percent of all failures regardless of land use. Nearly 50 percent of the landslides within clearcuts occurred within one year following timber harvest; more than 70 percent of these sites had hydrophytic vegetation directly above failures. In following the runout paths of failures, significantly more erosion per unit area occurred within clearcuts than in old‐growth forests on slopes with gradients from 9 to 28* (16 to 54 percent). Runout length, controlled by hillslope position within deglaciated valleys, was typically longer in old‐growth forests than in second growth and clearcuts (median values were 334, 201, and 153 m, respectively). Most landslides and debris flows deposited in first‐and second‐order channels before reaching the main stem channels used by anadromous fish. Slide deposits in old‐growth forests were composed of a higher proportion of woody debris than deposits derived from slides in second growth or clearcuts.     

黄土高原沟壑区小流域不同地形下土壤性质分布特征

地形条件是影响黄土高原地区土壤性质分布的主要因素,研究不同地形条件下土壤性质的分布是合理评价黄土区土壤质量状况的重要前提。论文研究了黄土高原沟壑区小流域地形条件对土壤性质剖面分布的影响,结果表明土壤硝态氮、速效磷、碱性磷酸酶和蔗糖酶为高度变异的土壤性质;pH值和过氧化氢酶为小变异土壤性质。塬面和沟道土壤pH值和过氧化氢酶活性较低,阳离子交换量较高。土壤有机质、全氮、全磷、速效磷、碱性磷酸酶和蔗糖酶活性在土壤剖面随土层深度的增加逐渐降低,且均表现为塬面>梯田>坡地>沟道的趋势。不同地形条件下土壤pH值的变化由地形条件引起的土壤过程及硝态氮在土壤中的累积引起;阳离子交换量的变化由成土过程、pH值和有机质的差异引起;土壤有机质及氮、磷养分的差异由与地形条件对应的土地利用方式引起;土壤酶活性的差异则是有机质的差异引起的。     

GIS支持下土壤侵蚀潜在危险度的分级研究

根据土壤侵蚀特点，在IDRISI地理信息系统（GIS）支持下，研究设计了小流域空间与属性数据库的建设，在GIS系统支持下可有效地实现区域土壤侵蚀潜在危险的分级及其空间分析。首先，采用侵蚀预报的数学模型来估算土壤侵蚀星，用土壤详查资料编制土层厚度和土壤容重图，然后，由土壤年均侵蚀量，土层厚度和土壤容重得到土壤抗蚀年限图，按水利部标准将土壤侵蚀潜在危险度分为5级。最后，为表明某一地区或地类土壤侵蚀潜在危险的大小，还提出了土壤侵蚀潜在危险指数（SEPDI）。以三峡库区的王家桥小流域为例进行了研究，并且分析了其空间分布特点。     

Deteriorated watersheds can be restored: A case study

A project in west-central Colorado demonstrated that a watershed dissected by a dense gully network can be stabilized and rehabilitated. Check dam systems, aided by improved vegetative cover through reduced cattle grazing and plantings, stabilized not only the structurally treated gullies, but also gullies within the network that were not structurally treated. Comparison with untreated gullies located outside of the project area, showed that the outside gullies widened three times as much as the structurally untreated inside gullies. Statistical analysis indicated that precipitation was normal during the treatment and evaluation period.Check dams decreased gully depth by accumulating sediment deposits. In turn, gully bank stabilization was hastened and alluvial aquifer volumes increased. This increase, plus higher infiltration rates as a result of denser vegetation, led to renewed perennial streamflow after 7 treatment years.Within 11 years after treatment, check dam systems and improved vegetation reduced sediment loads in the flows by more than 90 percent, providing a substantial benefit to farmlands and ponds downstream.From this work we are able to conclude that only part of a gully network requires structural treatment. The mainstem gully, and those tributaries controlling the local base levels of others, are the critical segments that should be structurally treated.     

THE IMPACT OF HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION ON A NORTH FLORIDA WATERSHED1

ABSTRACT A 20 month study of some effects of highway construction on water quality was conducted during construction of Interstate 10 at Tallahassee, Florida. Highway construction resulted in significant increases in turbidity, suspended solids, total phosphorus, and dissolved silicon in downstream waters despite use of recommended procedures for erosion control. Highway construction did not result in significant increases in dissolved phosphorus or nitrogen.

Land use Systems and Erosion in the Uplands of the Central Coast, Vietnam

Soil erosion is a significant problem in the uplands of the Central Coast, Vietnam. It affects the livelihood of farmers and could hinder the long-term economic development efforts in the uplands. Yet, trapped in poverty, upland farmers, especially the ethnic minority, are still mining the soil using erosive land use systems to meet their urgent needs. This study demonstrates that the level of soil erosion varies across the typical land use systems. The fruit tree-based agroforestry (AF) system is least erosive and most financially profitable. The choice of land use system is influenced by farmers' attributes, land plot characteristics, and policy-related variables. The set of policy variables is important in explaining land use choice by upland farmers. Promoting the switch to AF system and the adoption of soil conservation is of great importance to reducing soil erosion and sustaining development in the uplands. However, it is a very challenging task.
