黄土区森林植被对坡面径流和侵蚀产沙的影响

根据山西省吉县蔡家川流域198～2003年9个径流小区的降雨产流产沙的定位观测资料,分析了植被对流域坡面尺度降雨产流产沙的影响.结果表明,坡面自然更新的次生林比人工刺槐林具有更好的涵养水源和保持水土功能,场降雨产流量和产沙量分别减少约65%～82%和23%～92%;多元回归分析表明,场降雨产流量和产沙量与降雨量和雨强均呈良好的相关关系,但随着林分郁闭度增大,相关关系减小.不同地类的降雨产流产沙差异显著,虎榛子灌木林和天然次生林最少,而人工刺槐、油松林约是虎榛子灌木林的倍,果农复合经营模式的产流产沙量分别是虎榛子灌木林的17.14倍和3.96倍;果农复合经营模式在高质量、大工程整地后产流产沙明显减少.对坡面产流产沙的影响因子灰色关联分析,林分郁闭度和草本、枯落物生物量对坡面产流产沙影响显著,关联度值均大于0.6.     

植被格局对侵蚀产沙影响的研究评述

土壤侵蚀是人类可持续发展的重要挑战,植被重建则是防控侵蚀产沙的有效手段。在当前水土资源日益稀缺的新形势下,优化植被布局将成为黄土高原等生态脆弱地区未来阻蚀减沙、改善环境的重要途径,有关植被格局对侵蚀产沙影响的科技需求更加急迫、意义更加重要。为此,从坡面与流域两个尺度,总结评述了侵蚀产沙研究中的植被格局表征、侵蚀产沙对植被格局的变化响应两个议题的研究进展。分析认为,目前主要存在缺乏反映侵蚀产沙过程的植被格局表征指数、较少考虑植被与地形叠置格局对侵蚀产沙的耦合影响、尚未建立侵蚀产沙对植被格局的直观响应关系等问题。为促进有关研究,今后在格局指数和耦合关系的构建中应重视植被和地形对侵蚀产沙过程的耦合影响,并选用具有良好应用精度的分布式物理成因模型,以获得反映植被格局影响的流域侵蚀产沙结果。同时,可通过采用GIS空间分析技术,设计获得更多的典型植被格局及对应情景的侵蚀产沙,以丰富基础资料,减少信息干扰。     

水蚀风蚀交错区退耕坡面植被利用对产流产沙的影响

为有效利用水蚀风蚀交错区退耕封育坡面植被,确定合理的植被利用强度非常必要.本试验选取黄土高原水蚀风蚀交错区典型小流域——六道沟小流域为试验区,在多年退耕封育坡面布设径流小区,通过人工模拟降雨试验,研究植被地上部分在不同利用强度下各坡度(10°、20°和30°)坡面产流、产沙变化特征,以确定合理的利用强度. 结果表明: 次降雨过程中径流速率大体可分为两个阶段:初期迅速增长阶段和中后期增长变缓或趋于准稳定阶段.侵蚀速率的变化趋势因坡度的不同而略有差异.利用强度对产流量有显著影响,产流量随利用强度的加强而增加.坡度对侵蚀量影响显著,侵蚀量表现为20°坡面＞30°坡面＞10°坡面.以植被地上部分未利用小区为对照,相对增水量和相对增沙量均随利用强度加强而增加.结合降雨资料推测,退耕15年左右坡面植被地上部分盖度达到25%时,坡面年土壤侵蚀量基本低于容许土壤流失量.应重视该区20°坡面植被的恢复治理工作.     

黄土区次降雨条件下林地径流和侵蚀产沙形成机制

以黄土区两种常见森林植被(次生山杨林和人工油松林)长期定位观测试验为基础,从水量平衡和径流产沙机理出发,分析了次降雨条件下两种林地和荒地坡面产流产沙过程.结果表明,次降雨量在5.0～50.0 mm范围内,油松林和山杨林的林冠和枯枝落叶层总截留率分别为15.45%～56.80％和20.56%～47.81％,且随降雨量的增大而减小.与荒坡地相比,林地土壤入渗性能显著增强,尤其是0～20 cm土层.分析表明,在一般降水条件下林地无径流产生;而在降雨雨强为2.5 mm·min^-1和历时30 min条件下,山杨林地无地表径流产生,荒坡地的径流流速和径流挟沙浓度均为油松林地的23.5倍,而其径流剪切力和径流能量均为后者的8倍;油松林地的径流量和产沙量比荒地分别减少了87.6%和99.4%,与径流小区多年(1988～2000)观测平均值(分别为87.0%和99.9%)相近.     

泾河流域植被覆盖时空演变及其与降水的关系

在当前全球变化和人类活动剧烈影响下, 研究黄土高原植被覆盖的发展趋势及其与主要限制因子的关系, 对黄土高原退化生态系统的恢复和区域生态环境评价有着重要意义。我们利用GIMMS-NDVI数据和长期降雨数据, 对黄土高原中部泾河流域22 a的植被覆盖时空演变及其与降水的关系进行了研究。结果表明, 1)1982~2003年, 泾河流域植被覆盖整体呈微弱的增加趋势, 并在空间上表现出一定差异。植被覆盖增加的地区约69.62%, 其中显著增加的地区16.61%, 主要分布在泾河流域的中西部和下游小流域, 显著下降的地区约1.65%, 主要分布在泾河流域上游及周边地区; 2) NDVI与降水极显著相关。年NDVI随年降水服从对数分布, 生长季(4~11月)NDVI比降水滞后1个月; 3) 泾河流域降水利用效率不稳定变化, 土地退化状况未见有效改善, 并且泾河流域降水利用效率随降水量的增加而降低, 值得探索。     

黄土丘陵沟壑区景观格局对流域侵蚀产沙过程的影响——斑块类型水平

在黄土丘陵沟壑区,景观格局对侵蚀产沙过程有着复杂的影响,且与尺度密切相关。选取河口-龙门区间内42个水文站控制流域为研究对象,以侵蚀模数、输沙模数和泥沙输移比作为表征各流域单元内土壤侵蚀、产沙及泥沙输移过程的特征指标,运用景观指数和CCA排序,系统分析了斑块类型水平上景观格局对流域侵蚀产沙过程的影响。结果表明:流域侵蚀产沙及泥沙输移过程中,空间分异特征随景观类型不同而异;对于不同用地类型,影响"过程"空间分异的景观格局指标不同,显著影响流域侵蚀产沙及泥沙输移过程的景观指数有草地平均斑块面积(AREA_MN3)、居民建设用地景观面积百分比(PLAND5)、居民建设用地和其它类型用地景观的斑块密度(PD5和PD6),其中斑块密度(PD)是影响流域侵蚀产沙及泥沙输移过程的共性指标;草地、居民建设用地、其它类型用地的景观格局特征对"过程"变化的解释程度要高于其它景观类型。开展景观格局与生态过程关系研究时,不仅需要考虑景观格局的整体效应,更应关注单一景观类型及其格局特征对一些生态过程的指示意义。     

植被格局对砒砂岩坡地降雨侵蚀的影响

为进一步研究砒砂岩区不同雨型下植被格局对坡面土壤侵蚀特征的影响,基于野外径流小区原位观测试验与景观生态学相结合的方法,通过对比分析不同坡面的植被斑块格局指数与产流产沙之间的相关关系,阐明植被格局对砒砂岩坡地降雨侵蚀的影响。结果表明:(1)该地区降雨可划分为3类,根据各植被坡面产流产沙能力,得出降雨侵蚀力表现为:雨型II(长历时、大雨量、大雨强) ＞ 雨型III(短历时、小雨量、中雨强) ＞ 雨型I(中历时、中雨量、小雨强)。降雨量和最大30min雨强与产流产沙量呈显著或极显著关系,相关系数0.695以上,是预测该区域水土流失的主要降雨因子。(2)各坡面水土保持能力与降雨类型有关,不同雨型下3种植被坡面减流减沙率分别达0.42%、20.8%以上,不同植被格局坡面减沙效益优于减流效益,3种植被坡面的减流能力为:雨型I ＞ 雨型III ＞ 雨型II。(3)3种植被坡面的径流泥沙模数由小到大依次为:均匀分布 ＜ 聚集分布 ＜ 随机分布,对比区域多年平均径流泥沙模数,3种植被坡面能够减少侵蚀达21.33%以上。(4)景观形状指数和分离度指数是影响坡面产流产沙的主要格局因子,相关系数分别达0.884和0.825以上。产流、产沙量与坡面植被斑块分离度呈显著正相关,与景观形状指数呈显著负相关。坡面产流量(Y₁)与斑块分离度(SPLIT)和景观形状指数(LSI)的关系式为Y₁=8.247SPLIT-6.605LSI+38.928,R²=0.905。以上结果表明植被斑块间的分离度越小,形状越复杂,坡面阻力增大,抗侵蚀能力越强。研究成果可为生态恢复过程中植被斑块格局的优化提供理论依据和数据支撑。     

黄土区草本植被根系与土壤垂直侵蚀产沙关系研究

为了系统揭示植被根系对径流侵蚀产沙的影响,采用土钻法对草地植被根系分布特征进行系统调查,采用分层冲刷的方法对黄土高原草地土壤不同坡度、不同流量条件下的侵蚀产沙特征进行了研究。结果表明不同立地上的植被根系都表现出了随着土层深度增加而减少的趋势。分层冲刷的试验结果表明在土壤表层,植被根系对侵蚀产沙的影响是占主导地位的;而当土层超过一定深度后,根系的分布数量减少,不同流量和坡度下的深层土壤侵蚀产沙量明显增加,根系提高土壤抵抗径流侵蚀产沙的能力受到了限制。同时随着土层深度的不断加大,坡面上径流侵蚀的形态也在发生变化,逐渐从面蚀向细沟侵蚀发展。结合对草地植被根系生物量垂直分布特征的研究,证明土壤侵蚀产沙的这种变化是与草本植被根系的分布特征密切相关的。通过进一步分析植被根系分布特征和土壤垂直侵蚀产沙之间的联系,建立了草地植被根系生物量与土壤垂直侵蚀产沙特征之间的定量关系。     

黄土区次降雨条件下林地径流和侵蚀产沙形成机制——以人工油松林和次生山杨林为例

以黄土区两种常见森林植被(次生山杨林和人工油松林)长期定位观测试验为基础,从水量平衡和径流产沙机理出发,分析了次降雨条件下两种林地和荒地坡面产流产沙过程.结果表明,次降雨量在5.0～50.0 mm范围内,油松林和山杨林的林冠和枯枝落叶层总截留率分别为15.45%～56.80%和20.56%～47.81%,且随降雨量的增大而减小.与荒坡地相比,林地土壤入渗性能显著增强,尤其是0～20cm土层.分析表明,在一般降水条件下林地无径流产生;而在降雨雨强为2.5 mm·min^-1和历时30 min条件下,山杨林地无地表径流产生,荒坡地的径流流速和径流挟沙浓度均为油松林地的23.5倍,而其径流剪切力和径流能量均为后者的8倍;油松林地的径流量和产沙量比荒地分别减少了87.6%和99.4%,与径流小区多年(1988～2000)观测平均值(分别为87.0%和99.9%)相近.     

黄土高原风蚀水蚀交错区侵蚀产沙过程及机理

黄土高原风蚀水蚀交错区由于风蚀、水蚀的耦合作用,侵蚀程度剧烈、过程复杂.采用风洞与模拟降雨相结合的方法,研究了风水交错侵蚀条件下坡面产沙变化过程及侵蚀作用机理,定量分析了风蚀对水蚀的影响程度及其与水蚀的关系.结果表明:风蚀与水蚀之间存在明显的正交互效应.风蚀促进了侵蚀形态的发展,改变了降雨产沙随雨强变化的量化关系.雨强60、80 mm·h-1时,未风蚀处理下,坡面产沙量随降雨历时呈下降趋势,并趋于稳定;但风蚀处理后,产沙量降低至一定谷值时,又呈波动增加趋势.60、80、100 mm·h-1雨强下,风蚀处理的坡面产沙量增幅为7.3％～27.9％(风速11m·s-1)、23.2％ ～ 39.0％(风速14 m·s-1);雨强120、150 mm·h-1时,降雨15 min内,各处理的坡面产沙量均呈下降趋势,但随着降雨历时的延长,风蚀处理的坡面产沙量较未风蚀处理呈先低后高的变化趋势.风水交错侵蚀作用机理复杂,在时空分布特征、能量供给、侵蚀力作用方式等方面相互联系、互相促进.     

Effects of vegetation cover and precipitation on the process of sediment produced by erosion in a small watershed of loess region

With growing concerns over changes of the living environment and ecological environment, more and more scholars have focused their researches on understanding how vegetation covers and atmospheric conditions respond to soil erosion in watersheds. Former studies show that both the natural factors such as precipitation, vegetation, slope of terrain, soil properties and human activities are the main factors to affect the amount of sediment produced by erosion in the watershed, and there are special conditions of climate and soil that are unique to loess areas for water and soil conservations. Thus the relationships between soil erosion and vegetation and precipitation are very complicated and interesting. As a loess area, the Lüergou watershed with the area of 12.1 km2 lies in west of China. The watershed was a key area of high water and soil erosion forty years ago, but the area of vegetation cover has become larger because of highly effective methods of water and soil conservation. In the factors affecting the amount of sediment produced by erosion in the study area, which is more important for soil erosion: vegetation cover or precipitation? The experts, community has discussed this question for a long time. And the Lüergou watershed has become the natural and ideal test watershed. Based on water observation data, climate data and NOAA/AVHRR NDVI images collected from 1982 to 2000 in the Lüergou watershed of loess areas, analyses of the correlation and multi-variable regression were used to discuss the relationships among the amount of sediment produced by erosion, water indexes, precipitation factors and vegetation cover. The conclusions showed that with the increase of precipitation indexes and the decrease of plant indexes, and the amount of sediment produced by erosion in the study area would become larger. In order to distinguish the influences of erosion due to human activity and natural factors, the paper introduced multi-variable regression method by standardization data to determine the relative contributing ratio to soil erosions in the study area. The conclusions showed that the contributing ratio of vegetation cover and precipitation changes were 45.7% and 54.3%. It was obvious that the influences of precipitation were larger than those of vegetation for the soil erosion in the study area.

黄土丘陵区坡面植被盖度及其配置格局的水蚀效应模拟

黄土高原因土壤侵蚀严重被视为生态脆弱地带,探讨植被盖度及其所处坡位对土壤侵蚀的响应,对坡面侵蚀产沙的预测和调控具有重要意义。基于WEPP模型情景模拟,分析了分布广泛、耐旱性强的长芒草和典型恢复灌木植被柠条在不同雨强(0.5、1.0、1.5 mm/min)、不同植被盖度(20%、40%、60%、80%)和不同坡位(坡上、坡中、坡下)条件下的土壤侵蚀变化情况,运用双因素方差分析和相关贡献指数阐明坡面侵蚀产沙特征对坡位和植被盖度交互作用的响应,并提出植被配置的优化模式。结果表明:(1)提高植被有效覆盖度是减小土壤侵蚀的重要举措,且当植被分布在下坡位时坡面土壤侵蚀最少;(2)植被盖度可以有效减少产沙量。小雨强时,柠条和长芒草随盖度增加对泥沙的拦截率分别从38%增加到90%,64%增加到96%;中、大雨强时,植被盖度小于20%或者大于80%时,长芒草坡面产沙量大于柠条坡面。盖度为40%—60%时,长芒草坡面产沙量小于柠条坡面;(3)双因素方差分析表明:坡位和植被盖度对坡面侵蚀产沙量有极显著的影响(P0.001);当植被是长芒草时,坡位和植被盖度交互作用对坡面侵蚀产沙有显著影响(P0.01),植被是柠条时,坡位和植被盖度交互作用对坡面侵蚀产沙作用不显著;(4)通过模拟柠条和长芒草不同配置情景得出:长芒草分布在坡面下部产沙量较小,且当柠条和长芒草配比为1∶2时产沙量最小。     

植被和梯田对黄土高原小流域泥沙连通性的影响

黄土高原经过长期水土流失治理,泥沙问题得到有效解决,但植被恢复和梯田修建对泥沙空间输移的影响尚未完全揭示。通过土地利用数据和Landsat影像确定梯田分布和植被覆盖情况,使用能表征植被和梯田对泥沙输移的阻滞作用的植被覆盖与作物管理因子和工程因子计算泥沙连通性指数(IC),分析泥沙连通性的时空动态变化,量化植被与梯田共同影响下黄土高原第三副区典型流域泥沙连通性。调整权重因子模拟不同情景下泥沙连通性指数的计算,分析植被与梯田对泥沙连通性的单独影响。结果表明由于植被快速恢复和梯田大面积修建,IC在35年间(1986—2020年)从-3.42到-9.17显著下降。情景模拟发现,在1986—1999年间,梯田为泥沙连通性减弱主要驱动因素,1999年后植被与梯田共同作用。植被影响下的IC从1986年到2020年下降73.05%,在1986—2020年间梯田影响下IC下降26.75%。在空间上梯田及高植被覆盖度区域呈弱泥沙连通性,中下游主沟及部分支沟区域为强泥沙连通性。总体而言,植被恢复和梯田修建减弱泥沙输移能力,流域输沙路径集中于主沟中下游及部分支沟区域。研究结果有助于深化黄土丘陵区小流域植被恢复...

基于FVC指数的中国西北干旱区植被覆盖变化Markov过程

基于1982-2000年NOAA/AVHRR影像的FVC数据,对中国西北干旱区采用先分区再因海拔而异的分类方法进行植被覆盖的遥感分类,并在8 km×8 km空间分辨率下,对研究区植被覆盖变化的任意两年、连续平均和间隔平均转移概率矩阵下Markov过程进行分析与检验,探讨了研究区植被覆盖变化的Markov过程及其指示意义.结果表明：研究区植被覆盖变化受随机过程的控制和长期稳定的驱动因子影响,其转移变化是多重的Markov过程;仅使用两期的植被覆盖变化不能准确预测植被覆盖变化的发展趋势,无论这两期的时间是连续还是有一定时间间隔;对中国西北干旱区而言,连续10年以上的数据变化信息基本可以反映大部分影响该区植被覆盖的因素,采用长期平均转移概率矩阵可以得到较稳定的模拟与预测;植被覆盖变化是长期的动态平衡,平衡一旦被打破,建立新平衡是一个很长的时间过程.     

Quantitative effects of vegetation cover on wind erosion and soil nutrient loss in a desert grassland of southern New Mexico,USA

Wind is a key abiotic factor that influences the dynamics of arid and semiarid systems. We investigated two basic relationships on vegetation manipulation (grass cover reduction) plots at the Jornada Experimental Range in southern New Mexico: (1) wind erosion rates (horizontal mass flux and dust emission) versus vegetative cover, and (2) nutrient loss versus vegetative cover. The results indicate that wind erosion rates and nutrient loss by dust emission are strongly affected by plant cover; however, the importance of shrubs and grasses in reducing dust flux may not be equal. The dramatic increase of wind erosion between 75% grass cover reduction and 100% grass cover reduction suggests that sparsely distributed mesquites are relatively ineffective at reducing wind erosion and nutrient loss compared to grasses. Comparisons of nutrients between surface soils and wind blown dust indicate that aeolian transport is a major cause for the loss of soil nutrients in susceptible environments. We found that increased aeolian flux over three windy seasons (March 2004–July 2006) removed up to 25% of total organic carbon (TOC) and total nitrogen (TN) from the top 5 cm of soil, and about 60% of TOC and TN loss occurred in the first windy season (March–July 2004). The balance between net loss of nutrients by aeolian processes and the addition of nutrients by biotic processes changed from negative (net loss) to positive (net accumulation) between 50% grass cover reduction and 25% grass cover reduction. The estimated lifetime of surface soil TOC and TN of about 10 years on the plot with 100% grass cover reduction indicates that impacts of wind erosion on soil resources can occur on very short timescales.     

砒砂岩黄土区植被盖度对土壤侵蚀的影响

十大孔兑砒砂岩区为鄂尔多斯北部水土流失最为严重的地区之一,土壤侵蚀发生、发展极大影响了区域水、土资源开发利用。应用通用土壤侵蚀模型(Universal Soil Loss Equation, USLE)计算了区域土壤侵蚀模数,采用整体回归拟合和分段回归拟合的方法对研究区植被盖度和土壤侵蚀模数的关系进行了分析并识别土壤侵蚀模数阈值和对应植被盖度。结果表明:2000—2017年十大孔兑砒砂岩黄土区土壤侵蚀模数在时间尺度上呈现复杂的变化趋势,多年土壤侵蚀模数平均值为29.31 t hm^-2 a^-1;最大和最小值分别为65.6 t hm^-2 a^-1和10.95 t hm^-2 a^-1。从总体来看,土壤侵蚀模数随着植被盖度增加呈极显著抛物线型变化趋势(P<0.001);在坡度级别分别为<5°、5—10°和>10°时,土壤侵蚀模数阈值(18.18 t hm^-2 a^-1、34.29 t hm^-2
