2005-2015年四川省土地利用变化及驱动力分析

以2005、2010、2015年三期四川省土地利用栅格数据为基础,应用ENVI和GIS技术对数据进行预处理,采用土地利用转移矩阵与土地利用动态度模型,并结合四川省土地利用实际情况分析四川省2005-2015年土地利用变化特征,并利用SPSS软件对2005-2015年间统计年鉴上相关的社会经济数据进行因子分析,研究影响四川省土地利用变化的主要驱动力因素并分析其作用机理,为后来的四川省土地利用规划提供参考依据。结果表明：(1)四川省近10年土地利用类型面积变化较为频繁,表现为城乡居民工矿用地大幅度增加,但各类土地占比总量土地面积变化不大。(2)耕地、林地、草地始终为四川省的主要土地利用类型,占比较为均衡且保持性好,耕地处于25%左右,林地和草地始终处于35%左右。而城乡居民工矿用地、水域以及未利用地面积虽有变化但占比始终较小。(3)四川省土地利用存在明显的区域差异,东部土地利用程度高,西部利用程度低。林地和草地大量且长期集中在西部,城乡居民工矿用地则在东部集中,东西分布极不均衡,不利于四川省区域经济均衡发展。(4)影响四川省土地利用变化的主要驱动力因子为常驻人口数和GDP,常驻人口始终保持较大数额且稳步增长,保持劳动力人口数量的同时带来社会经济快速发展的结果,从而促使土地利用结构不断发生变化。     

黄河中游砒砂岩地区土地利用对生物多样性的影响评价

作者以长川流域附近的阿贵庙自然保护区的主要植被类型为对照,通过对黄河中游砒砂岩地区长川流域内的各土地利用/覆盖类型之间的生物多样性的比较分析,综合评价了人类土地利用活动对当地生物多样性的影响。结果表明:沙棘(Hippophaerhamnoides)灌丛、草地、油松(Pinustabuliformis)林地和中间锦鸡儿(Caraganainter-media)灌丛等土地利用类型的生物多样性指数较高;进一步运用S?renson指数分析发现,仅中间锦鸡儿灌丛、草地和油松林三类与主要自然植被类型有着较高的相似性,其S?renson指数均在40%左右。综合考虑Shannon-Wiener指数与S?renson指数,草地、中间锦鸡儿灌丛、油松林地等类型对当地物种多样性的影响相对较弱,有利于当地物种多样性的保护,在植被恢复和建设过程中应相对增大种植比例。     

Identification of current ecosystem functional types in the Iberian Peninsula

Aim To examine the geographical patterns of the interception of photosynthetically active radiation by vegetation and to describe its spatial heterogeneity through the definition of ecosystem functional types (EFTs) based on the annual dynamics of the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), a spectral index related to carbon gains. Location The Iberian Peninsula. Methods EFTs were derived from three attributes of the NDVI obtained from NOAA/AVHRR sensors: the annual integral (NDVI‐I), as a surrogate of primary production, an integrative indicator of ecosystem functioning; and the intra‐annual relative range (RREL) and month of maximum NDVI (MMAX), which represent key features of seasonality. Results NDVI‐I decreased south‐eastwards. The highest values were observed in the Eurosiberian Region and in the highest Mediterranean ranges. Low values occurred in inner plains, river basins and in the southeast. The Eurosiberian Region and Mediterranean mountains presented the lowest RREL, while Eurosiberian peaks, river basins, inner‐agricultural plains, wetlands and the southeastern part of Iberia presented the highest. Eurosiberian ecosystems showed a summer maximum of NDVI, as did high mountains, wetlands and irrigated areas in the Mediterranean Region. Mediterranean mountains had autumn–early‐winter maxima, while semi‐arid zones, river basins and continental plains had spring maxima. Based on the behaviour in the functional traits, 49 EFTs were defined. Main conclusions The classification, based on only the NDVI dynamics, represents the spatial heterogeneity in ecosystem functioning by means of the interception of radiation by vegetation in the Iberian Peninsula. The patterns of the NDVI attributes may be used as a reference in evaluating the impacts of environmental changes. Iberia had a high spatial variability: except for biophysically impossible combinations (high NDVI‐I and high seasonality), almost any pattern of seasonal dynamics of radiation interception was represented in the Peninsula. The approach used to define EFTs opens the possibility of monitoring and comparing ecosystem functioning through time.     

Interaction of Press and Pulse Disturbance on Crayfish Populations: Flood Impacts in Pasture and Forest Streams

Interactions between press and pulse disturbances can significantly impact benthic macroinvertebrate (crayfish) populations. Press disturbances such as land-use change can make crayfish more vulnerable to the detrimental effects of pulse disturbances, by changing the habitats available to crayfish. The impact of a pulse disturbance, a major flood (1 in 28 years return period), on crayfish (Paranephrops planifrons) was significantly greater in pasture than native forest streams. Population densities of crayfish in three forest and three pasture streams had been measured seasonally for 2 years prior to the flood and many crayfish had been marked with individually identifiable tags. Low numbers of marked crayfish were recaptured after the flood in the forest streams, but no marked crayfish were identified in any pasture stream. Crayfish densities in one pasture stream declined from an average of 5 m^–2 prior to the flood to <1 m^–2 soon after the flood and it took 3 years for the population to show evidence of recovery. Macrophytes and cobbles, the dominant habitats of crayfish in pasture streams, did not appear to provide stable refugia during the flood. Habitat stability was linked to the riparian zone in forest streams where undercut banks, tree roots, and pools were important habitats for crayfish. Frequent pulse disturbance could affect population persistence of refugia-dependent species when the pressure of land-use change affects the stability of habitats, but this may only be evident over long time scales.     

The Marchioness of Huntly: the written record and the herbarium

By collating the evidence provided by written records and herbaria, and with a knowledge of the present-day habits of individual species, it is sometimes possible to reconstruct the vegetation pattern and, thereby, changes in the natural environment of a site or region during the last few centuries. This paper takes the form of a case study of the records left by the Marchioness of Huntly (1821–1893) and the information they provide, for example, on changes in the Huntingdonshire fenland.

Land-use change and the carbon cycle

Changes in land use between 1850 and 1980 are estimated to have increased the global areas in croplands, pastures, and shifting cultivation by 891, 1308, and 30 × 10⁶ ha, respectively, reducing the area of forests by about 600 × 10⁶ ha, releasing about 100 PgC to the atmosphere, and transferring about 23 PgC from live vegetation to dead plant material and wood products. Another 1069 × 10⁶ ha are estimated to have been logged during this period, and the net release of carbon from the combined processes of logging and regrowth contributed 23 PgC to the 100-PgC release. Annual rates of land-use change and associated emissions of carbon have decreased over the last several decades in temperate and boreal zones and have increased in the tropics. The average release of carbon from global changes in land use over the decade of the 1980s Is estimated to have been 1.6 ± 0.7 PgC y^?1 almost entirely from the tropics. This estimate of carbon flux is higher than estimates reported in recent summaries because it is limited here to studies concerned only with changes in land use. Other recent analyses, based on data from forest inventories, have reported net accumulations of carbon as high as 1.1 PgC y^?1 in temperate and boreal zones. Because the accumulation of carbon in forests may result from natural processes unrelated to land-use change, estimates based on these inventories should be distinguished from estimates based on changes in land use. Both approaches identify terrestrial sinks of carbon. The argument is made here, however, that differences between the two approaches may help identify the location and magnitude of heretofore ‘missing’ sinks. Before different estimates can be used in this way, analyses must consider similar geographical regions and dates, and they must account for the accumulation and loss of carbon in forest products in a consistent fashion.     

The contributions of land-use change, CO2 fertilization, and climate variability to the Eastern US carbon sink

Atmospheric measurements and land‐based inventories imply that terrestrial ecosystems in the northern hemisphere are taking up significant amounts of anthropogenic cabon dioxide (CO₂) emissions; however, there is considerable disagreement about the causes of this uptake, and its expected future trajectory. In this paper, we use the ecosystem demography (ED) model to quantify the contributions of disturbance history, CO₂ fertilization and climate variability to the past, current, and future terrestrial carbon fluxes in the Eastern United States. The simulations indicate that forest regrowth following agricultural abandonment accounts for uptake of 0.11 Pg C yr^?1 in the 1980s and 0.15 Pg C yr^?1 in the 1990s, and regrowth following forest harvesting accounts for an additional 0.1 Pg C yr^?1 of uptake during both these decades. The addition of CO₂ fertilization into the model simulations increases carbon uptake rates to 0.38 Pg C yr^?1 in the 1980s and 0.47 Pg C yr^?1 in the 1990s. Comparisons of predicted aboveground carbon uptake to regional‐scale forest inventory measurements indicate that the model's predictions in the absence of CO₂ fertilization are 14% lower than observed, while in the presence of CO₂ fertilization, predicted uptake rates are 28% larger than observed. Comparable results are obtained from comparisons of predicted total Net Ecosystem Productivity to the carbon fluxes observed at the Harvard Forest flux tower site and in model simulations free‐air CO₂ enrichment (FACE) experiments. These results imply that disturbance history is the principal mechanism responsible for current carbon uptake in the Eastern United States, and that conventional biogeochemical formulations of plant growth overestimate the response of plants to rising CO₂ levels. Model projections out to 2100 imply that the carbon uptake arising from forest regrowth will increasingly be dominated by forest regrowth following harvesting. Consequently, actual carbon storage declines to near zero by the end of the 21st century as the forest regrowth that has occurred since agricultural abandonment comes into equilibrium with the landscape's new disturbance regime. Incorporating interannual climate variability into the model simulations gives rise to large interannual variation in regional carbon fluxes, indicating that long‐term measurements are necessary to detect the signature of processes that give rise to long‐term uptake and storage.
