Soil-ecological conditions of the zone of salt waste dumping and plant adaptation to them

Technogenic surface formations near salt waste dumps are subject to salinization by sodium chloride. Synanthropic representatives of local flora that have adapted to salinization are characterized by increased concentrations of salinizing ions; redistribution of chlorides, with their predominant accumulation in above-ground organs; selective absorption with respect to sodium, chloride, and potassium ions; and decreased activity of hydrogen ions in cells.     

浅水湖泊孢粉和植物残体对水生植被的表现率

研究浅水湖泊中植物残体对水生植物的表现率,用于重建近代水生植被历史,可为治理湖泊富营养化,恢复湖泊生态环境提供依据。研究选址为英国北部的一个小湖泊,通过水生植物调查及表层沉积物中植物残体和孢粉分析,及地理信息系统方法定量研究植物残体对水生植物的表现率。结果表明：沉积物中植物残体精确地反映了植物优势种的存在;植物和植物残体的关系是很复杂的,有些植物在残体中表现率明显超高,而有些表现率偏低; 应把叶子和其它非繁殖植株部分作为恢复近代多年生植物历史依据;植物残体传输性较差,主要集中在植物母体附近;利用植物残体与孢粉分析相结合的方法能更准确地重建植被历史。     

RS与GIS支持下城市热岛效应与绿地空间相关性研究

在RS和GIS技术支持下,以LANDSAT ETM+为数据源,综合运用遥感热红外影像的地温反演、遥感影像分割、空间聚集性分析、混合像元分解、基于遥感信息模型的地理建模及多元线性回归分析等技术,提取了青岛市城市热岛与绿地空间格局,并定量分析了绿地格局与城市热岛效应的相关性及其对城市热岛的缓解机制. 结果表明:城市热岛效应在给定尺度上与植被盖度呈负相关关系,与绿地斑块密度指数和分维数呈正相关关系.      

基于TM遥感影像的湿地松林生物量研究

利用江西千烟洲地区2005年Landsat5TM遥感图像数据和同期野外调查获得的28个样方湿地松(Pinuselliottii)各器官生物量数据,分析了植被指数、影像变换(主成分分析,缨帽变换)结果与森林各器官生物量之间的相关关系,进而建立了光谱-植被指数与生物量多元回归模型。湿地松林各器官与遥感光谱、植被指数拟合相关性大小依次为:叶生物量>枝生物量>地上生物量>树干生物量。通过多元回归模型计算出湿地松林叶生物量平均为573g.m^-2,地上生物量平均为6628g.m^-2,低于样地调查平均值。单一植被指数与生物量相关性较低,ND-VI并不适用于盖度较大的湿地松林;遥感影像经主成分分析后生物量光谱模型的相关系数略有提高,缨帽变换后反而使模型的相关系数降低。     

利用累积NDVI估算黄河流域年蒸散量

地表蒸散的准确估算在流域水资源的评价、干旱监测及农作物产量模拟研究中很重要,论文通过建立年蒸散量与累积NDVI及相对湿润指数之间的关系,利用1982～2000年8km分辨率的AVHRRNDVI资料及月平均气温和月降水量资料,对黄河流域近20年来地表蒸散的时空分布进行了分析,并利用水文站径流观测资料对估算结果进行了检验。结果表明,黄河流域多年平均年蒸散量是389mm,年际间变化很大,空间分布格局是东南部蒸散量最大,其次是兰州以上区间,宁蒙河段及鄂尔多斯高原蒸散量最小;全流域平均蒸散估算误差比较小,吻合比较好。

Specific features of vegetation synanthropization under the effect of human activities and a long-term grazing load were studied in the subalpine and upper mountain-forest belts of the Seminskii Range.     

TIMBER HARVEST IMPACTS ON SMALL HEADWATER STREAM CHANNELS IN THE COAST RANGES OF WASHINGTON1

ABSTRACT: We evaluated changes in channel habitat distributions, particle‐size distributions of bed material, and stream temperatures in a total of 15 first‐or second‐order streams within and nearby four planned commercial timber harvest units prior to and following timber harvest. Four of the 15 stream basins were not harvested, and these streams served as references. Three streams were cut with unthinned riparian buffers; one was cut with a partial buffer; one was cut with a buffer of non‐merchantable trees; and the remaining six basins were clearcut to the channel edge. In the clearcut streams, logging debris covered or buried 98 percent of the channel length to an average depth of 0.94 meters. The slash trapped fine sediment in the channel by inhibiting fluvial transport, and the average percentage of fines increased from 12 percent to 44 percent. The trees along buffered streams served as a fence to keep out logging debris during the first summer following timber harvest. Particle size distributions and habitat distributions in the buffered and reference streams were largely unchanged from the pre‐harvest to post‐harvest surveys. The debris that buried the clearcut streams effectively shaded most of these streams and protected them from temperature increases. These surveys have documented immediate channel changes due to timber harvest, but channel conditions will evolve over time as the slash decays and becomes redistributed and as new vegetation develops on the channel margins.     

The effect of outdoor air pollutants and greenness on allergic rhinitis incidence rates: a cross-sectional study in Seoul,Korea

Air pollution poses a serious threat to human health in Asia. This study analyzes the association of air pollutants and greenness with incidence rates of allergic rhinitis in Seoul at the administrative district level to gain insight into district-level urban policies to improve public health. A spatial regression model is constructed to investigate the correlation between allergic rhinitis incidence rates and five air pollutants measured at 128 air pollution monitoring stations around Seoul: sulfur dioxide (SO₂), particulate matter less than 10 μm (PM₁₀), ozone (O₃), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), and carbon monoxide (CO). The allergic rhinitis incidence data are derived from the National Health Insurance Service’s database that includes the number of allergic rhinitis-related clinic visits by the patients over 20 years of age and living in Seoul. A kriging geostatistical interpolation was used to estimate average air pollution level of 423 administrative districts. To assess pollen concentrations that can affect allergic rhinitis, the average normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) is measured based on the urban greenness. The model, controlling for built environment and socio-economic attributes, identifies the possibility of a weak association between allergic rhinitis incidence rates and carbon monoxide levels. The NDVI value is negatively correlated with allergic rhinitis incidence rates, implying a complicated aspect in relation to the effect of urban greenness.     

上海市城市化进程中热环境响应的空间评价

利用Landsat TM/ETM+ 遥感数据解译与反演得到上海市1997~2009年的土地利用/覆盖类型图及热岛强度分布图,并分析其演变趋势,引入温度-植被指数(TVX)并采用TVX空间法定量研究了以建设用地扩张、生态用地减少为特点的城市化过程引起的热环境效应.研究表明,1997~2009年,上海市人口呈现从中心城至郊区的流动趋势;热岛强度分布与城市化建设密切相关,呈现“葫芦串-葡萄串-摊大饼型”的蔓延模式;以牺牲生态用地为代价的建设用地扩张造成研究区域地表温度的上升及植被覆盖度的下降,其中林地减少所引起的热环境效应最大.研究可为城市规划决策过程中不同城市化空间的拓展情景提供其可能的环境响应结果,从而完善气候变化适应性对策,推进城市生态系统的可持续发展.     

南方红壤典型水土流失区植被覆盖度变化及其生态效应评估——以福建省长汀县为例

南方红壤典型水土流失区--福建省长汀县曾因生态破坏导致严重的水土流失.经过多年以植树为主的生态修复,该县生态面貌有了明显的改观.论文首先采用线性光谱混合分析模型计算植被覆盖度,并在此原始模型的基础上提出了对地形阴影进行修正的方法来获取植被覆盖度.精度验证表明,在线性光谱混合分析模型中加入山地指数(NDMVI)波段能够削弱地形阴影问题,提高植被覆盖度反演精度.在此基础上利用多时相遥感影像分析了长汀2001-2013 年植被覆盖度的时空变化,并利用遥感生态指数(RSEI)定量评价了长汀水土流失生态修复的效果.结果表明,经过13 a 的水土流失治理,长汀的植被覆盖度有了明显的升高,从2001 年的75.1%上升到2013 年的86.5%.RSEI 生态指数值也随之上升,生态等级为优良的面积比例从85.83%增加到90.59%,反映了长汀县生态质量整体有了明显的提高.植被的生态效应定量研究表明,长汀县的植被覆盖度每增加10%,RSEI 生态指数值至少提高10%,植被覆盖度的生态提升效应显著.
