自然灾害胁迫下区域生态脆弱性动态——以四川省清平乡为例

利用四川省绵竹市清平乡2008年“5·12”汶川地震后航空遥感图像和2010年“8·13”特大山洪泥石流灾后无人机低空遥感图像,结合清平乡2006年土地利用现状图、1∶5万地形图与野外调查资料,对清平乡生态脆弱性进行评估和分析.结果表明：清平乡2010年“8·13”特大山洪泥石流灾后生态不脆弱、一般脆弱、中度脆弱、脆弱和极脆弱区的面积比例分别为1.9%、7.9%、18.7%、23.0%和48.5%,生态极脆弱和生态脆弱区总面积达238.45 km²,占全乡总面积的71.5%,清平乡生态环境整体上已经非常脆弱;受这两次特大自然灾害的胁迫作用,清平乡生态脆弱性明显增强,生态脆弱和极脆弱区面积比“5·12”汶川地震前增加12.4%,生态极脆弱区面积是“5·12”汶川地震前面积的1.67倍;清平乡生态脆弱性动态演化主要表现为生态脆弱性等级由脆弱演化为极脆弱.复杂的地形条件是导致清平乡生态脆弱的关键因素.     

Further studies on the month-of-birth effect on body size: Rural schoolchildren and an animal model

A previous study (Henneberg and Louw: Am. J. Hum. Biol. 2:227–233, 1990) showed that urban schoolchildren born between August and January were taller and heavier by 13 to 17% of the standard deviation (S) than those born in February to July. The study is now extended to 1,522 impoverished rural schoolchildren from the Little Karoo district of S. Africa and to 804 German Shepherd dogs kennelled at a breeding station in the Transvaal. The dogs provided a quasi-experimental model because for all of them nutrition and living conditions were practically identical throughout the year. The month-of-birth effect in the body weight of dogs was found to be stronger than that in urban children: dogs born between August and January were heavier by 22% of S than those born in February through July. In rural children the effect is present, but its magnitude is somewhat less and the peak is shifted by 2–3 months. Children born in May through October are 11% of S lighter than those born in November through April. It seems that living conditions characteristic of extreme poverty tend to diminish the effect. In both the animal model and rural children the month-of-birth effect decreases with advancing age and is more pronounced in males than in females. These findings are in agreement with previous observations in urban children from Cape Town. Since the living conditions of dogs and humans differ, as do the climatic conditions of Cape Town, Little Karoo and the Transvaal, it is surmised that the similarity of the effect may result from factors influencing the entire planet in a uniform way. © 1993 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

喀斯特环境下两种生物质能源植物的光合产能

以贵州省贞丰县鲁荣乡五个地区为采样点,选择各点生长良好、树龄4～5a的野生成年麻疯树与油桐作为研究对象,测定采样点土壤的理化性质和植物的光合、叶绿素荧光参数及干质量热值。结果表明:土壤磷含量的大小顺序为许妹<沙坝<喜朝<孔索<里外;土壤HCO3-含量大小顺序为许妹>喜朝>里外>孔索>沙坝。土壤pH>8时,土壤有效磷含量越高或者HCO3-含量越低,麻疯树与油桐光合能力越强,同一生长点的麻疯树光合与抗胁迫能力都高于油桐。麻疯树和油桐热值均随土壤磷含量增加而增大,随土壤HCO-3含量增加而减小。油桐抗逆性差于麻疯树,但产能多于后者。因此,可以依据土壤的理化性质选择种植麻疯树和油桐。
