南渡河流域水土流失现状及防治措施

2001年对雷州市主要供水源地-南渡河流域的水土流失现状进行了实地勘探考察调查,调查结果表明,南渡河流域水土流失主要集中在南渡河流域中、上游的杨家、白沙、客路、唐家、纪家、松竹六镇,六镇的水土流失面积共61.23km²,其中,面蚀流失23.5km²,沟蚀流失12.6km²,崩塌流失25.15km².由实地调查结果可知,南渡河流域的水土流失问题已成为南渡河水系水资源保护的头号问题,调查弄清南渡河水土流失现状,采取有效治理措施保护南渡河生态环境,彻底改善南渡河水土流失现状已成为南渡河整治的重点项目.文中就南渡河水土流失的实际情况,提出相应的水土保持措施和治理措施.     

小流域林草植被控制土壤侵蚀机理研究

从坡面水动力学角度研究了坡面乔木林、草本植物和林地枯落物对坡面径流流速和动能的影响机理.结果表明,坡面径流水头损失与坡面坡度、林木密度、净雨强、坡长等有关,水头损失与林木间距(b)和树木地径(D)间的关系为:E^∝(D/b)^4/3;坡面草本植物在水流作用下易弯曲,增大水流底层的阻力,减小床面的切应力;枯枝落叶使径流速度减小,从而大大降低径流挟沙能力.对甘肃省天水市桥子东沟和桥子西沟两个对比小流域的实测单次降雨、径流、泥沙资料分析可见,在相同降水条件下,已治理小流域内的径流量、产沙量、洪峰流量、最大输沙率等指标均小于未治理小流域,说明林草植被在小流域中的涵养水源、保持水土的作用明显.     

Macroinvertebrate community loss as a result of headwater stream acidification in the Vosges Mountains (N-E France)

The relationships between water chemistry and aquatic macroinvertebrate communities of 41 headwater streams were studied in the Vosges Mountains (N-E of France) in an attempt to assess the impact of acidification on macroinvertebrate diversity. The taxa richness of macroinvertebrates decreased drastically in headwater streams which were characterized by low pH, low calcium and high aluminum content. All taxonomic groups were affected, but Molluscans, Crustaceans and Ephemeroptera disappeared totally from strongly acidified streams. Simple indices based on taxa richness such as the coefficient of community loss may provide accurate tools to quickly assess the impact of acidification on macroinvertebrate communities. Despite the reduction of atmospheric SO₂ emissions, acidification of freshwater in the Vosges Mountains continues to affect streams which were believed in the past to constitute refuge biotopes for numerous species. Consequently, acidification represents a real threat for numerous invertebrates. This study arises the question of the evolution in the future of headwater stream ecosystems. Urgent decisions and interventions are required to preserve non-acidified streams and to restore impacted ecosystems while awaiting spontaneous recovery.     

中国生态退化的主要类型、特征及分布

生态退化是目前全球所面临的主要环境问题,它不仅使自然资源日益枯竭,生物多样性不断减少,而且还严重阻碍社会经济的持续发展,进而威胁人类的生存和发展,因此,生态退化已引起各国政府和学者的重视。本文对中国生态退化的主要类型即：森林生态系统的退化、土地沙漠化和水土流失等重大问题进行分析,详细阐述了各个类型的现状、特征及分布。为我国自然资源的合理利用以及退化生态系统的恢复和重建提供基础资料。     

珠海市土石场空间分布特征与景观生态影响评价

人为水土流失是一种人类干扰下的典型景观退化现象．将人为侵蚀在空间上的表现称之为人为侵蚀景观．在遥感和GIS技术支持下,结合大量的实地调查资料,对珠海最主要的人为侵蚀景观类型——土石场开展空间分布分析和景观生态影响评价．调查范围内珠海土石场有235个,其中三灶、井岸两镇(区)分布最为集中,分别为28、29个．缓冲区分析表明,土石场的分布与距交通道路的远近呈对数线性相关,其中在距交通道路100～200m距离范围内分布最为集中．设计景观生态影响度评价指数,对面积大于5000m^2的152个土石场进行景观生态影响度评价结果表明,对周边景观生态环境影响极强的土石场有9个,属于强一级的有17个,应首先对这些土石场开展景观生态恢复．     

不同植被类型对土壤水蚀的影响

不同植被类型对土壤水蚀的影响因子是计算土壤水蚀速率以及选择适当土地利用方式的基本参数.本文以土壤侵蚀模型中的植被因子(C因子)为指标,研究不同植被类型对土壤水蚀的影响.根据6个水土保持试验项目33个小区共195个小区年的资料,计算了剌槐、柠条、沙棘、沙棘-杨树,沙棘-油松、沙打旺、红豆草、苜蓿和草木樨等9种林草植被因子值.林地植被因子介于0.004到0.164之间,以刺槐林的C值最低.草地植被因子介于0.071到0.377之间,以第一年的草木樨C值为最高.定量对比说明林草植被的水土保持效益明显优于农作物.本项研究结果可以用于定量比较不同植被类型覆盖下的土壤流失速率,对于北方农牧交错带退耕还林还草政策的实施具有参考价值.     

Application of growth rings and scars in exposed roots of Schizolobium parahyba as a tool for dating geomorphic processes in the State of São Paulo,Brazil

Water erosion is an important degradation process, which results in loss of soil, reduction in agricultural productivity, and causes severe environmental impact. Dendrogeomorphology has methods in which the structure of the wood of the stem and roots of tree and shrub species affected by sediment deposition or by root exposure is analysed, to establish the chronology of erosive events. The objective of the present work was to describe the modifications and scar formation in Schizolobium parahyba growth rings, attributed to the effect of roots exposure for determining the first year of exposure. The study area presents erosion features, such as gullies, with the consequent exposure of tree roots. The growth rings and the scars formed by the flow of water and soil particles were analysed in cross-sections of exposed roots to date the erosion processes. This paper demonstrates the potential of S. parahyba for dendrogeomorphological studies, validating dendrogeomorphology as a research tool in tropical climate. Scars used for erosion dating in cross-sections have been proven as good indicators of geomorphic processes. The relevance of this work is to become the first attempt in tropical regions to date erosion processes using dendrogeomorphological techniques on exposed roots.
