Using 137Cs tracing technique to estimate wind erosion rates in the typical steppe region,northern Mongolian Plateau

Wind erosion is one of the major factors of land degradation in the typical steppe region, northern Mongolian Plateau. Using ^137Cs tracing technique, we estimated the wind erosion rates of different pastures and abandoned farmland at Bayannur and Karakorum in Mongolia. The pastures and cutting grassland at Bayannur were slightly eroded by wind, with the rates of 64.58-169.07 t·km^-2.a^-1. The abandoned farmland in Karakorum, however, was strongly eroded by wind, with annual surface soil loss of 4.05 mm. a^-1, and wind erosion rates up to 6723.06 t· km^-2. a^-1. The total loss of surface soil due to wind erosion has been 17.4 cm since the cultivation of the steppe land in the 1960s. The wind ero- sion rate at the abandoned farmland was much higher than that at the typical steppe sites, showing that the cultivation led to serious wind erosion in the typical steppe region, northern Mongolian Plateau. By contrast, traditional livestock grazing resulted in less disturbance to the surface soil, and did not induce to devastating wind erosion, which plays an important role in maintaining the stability of the steppe ecosystem in the northern Mongolian Plateau.     

硫酸铵和硫酸钠溶液侵蚀下水泥土力学性质试验研究

为研究硫酸铵和硫酸钠溶液侵蚀下水泥土的力学性质,将制备的水泥土试块置于不同浓度的硫酸铵和硫酸钠溶液中进行长期(150 d)浸泡,通过无侧限抗压强度试验,得到无侧限抗压强度随侵蚀溶液浓度和侵蚀时间的变化规律,分析硫酸铵和硫酸钠溶液侵蚀对水泥土力学性质的影响。研究结果表明:硫酸铵和硫酸钠溶液对水泥土均具有侵蚀作用,浓度越大,侵蚀越显著;浸泡时间越久,侵蚀越明显;在侵蚀早期,硫酸钠浓度在一定范围内对水泥土的抗压强度增长有利,在短期内硫酸钠溶液可以提高水泥土试块无侧限抗压强度;在相同SO_4~(2-)浓度下,硫酸铵溶液侵蚀下的水泥土抗压强度要低于硫酸钠溶液侵蚀下的抗压强度,铵盐会对水泥土的力学性质产生影响;硫酸盐对水泥土的侵蚀作用要远大于铵盐对水泥土侵蚀作用。     

Characteristics of U-pattern distribution of highconcentration <Superscript>210</Superscript>Pb in surface air at central Guizhou,China

A better understanding of the variation of ²¹⁰Pb concentrations in the surface air is the key to trace lake sedimentation and catchment erosion, to establish and validate the global diffusion model of contaminants, and to assess the impact of natural radiation on the ecological system. Basing on the study progresses of the sedimentation, the atmospheric model and the unique environmental background in the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, and starting from December 20, 2001, we made use of a 500 NE Type aerosol sampler to collect filter samples, once a week in the past consecutive two years, in the surface air at Mt. Guanfeng, Guiyang City, China. Synchronous detailed γ-energy spectrometric observations of ²¹⁰Pb concentrations at both Chinese and U.S. laboratories have shown that the average monthly ²¹⁰Pb concentration displays a regular U-patterns distribution of annual variations, with high values appearing in winter and low values in late spring and summer. The average annual ²¹⁰Pb concentrations are estimated to be 2.77±0.63 mBq/m³, about 4 times the average maximum concentrations reported from quite a number of monitoring stations throughout the world. The possible factors affecting the sources of ²¹⁰Pb in the surface air in the central part of Guizhou Province are: Release of ²²²Rn from the U-Ra series enriched in the soils; chemical weathering of carbonate rocks; the exploitation, processing and utilization of coal and phosphorous resources. The principal factor controlling the high ²¹⁰Pb concentrations in the surface air in the central Guizhou and their annual U-pattern distribution is the release of ²²²Rn. The average monthly ²¹⁰Pb concentrations show a good negative powerfunction relationship with increasing precipitation and also show a good negative linear-function relationship with the rise of air temperature in month grouping. Group No.1 (June to November) reflects a relatively low release of ²²²Rn from soils in relatively high temperature seasons; Group No.2 (December to May) mirrors a relatively high release of ²²²Rn from soils in relatively low temperature seasons. The average monthly ²¹⁰Pb concentrations simulated in terms of the precipitation and air temperature are in good consistency with the measured values, revealing that the regular U-pattern distribution characteristics of ²¹⁰Pb concentrations in the surface air in the central Guizhou are controlled predominantly by regional precipitation and air temperature. Meanwhile, it is also indicated that the magnitude of variation of air temperature and precipitation within the same year also constrains the ratio of high values over low values of average monthly ²¹⁰Pb concentrations. On a month time scale, precipitation and air temperature are a main factor affecting the release of ²²²Rn from soils (rocks). In this aspect strong evidence has been obtained.     

Soil erosion rates and characteristics of typical alpine meadow using <Superscript>137</Superscript>Cs technique in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

Alpine meadow is the predominant ecosystem in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.The firm turf of alpine meadow formed by sub-surface anfractuous roots can be effective in conserving water and soil.Alpine meadow is a primary contributor to the Chinese Water Tower.For quantitative assess anti-erosion ability of alpine meadow,this paper selected three typical meadow slopes with>60% vegetation coverage to evaluate soil erosion rates using 137Cs.The results showed that(1)soil erosion intensity of typical alpine meadow was slight to light.Erosion rates were 464 t km–2 a–1 in Malong Village,415 t km–2 a–1 in Yeniugou Town and 875 t km–2 a–1 in Zhenqin Town respectively;(2)soil erosion rates were correlated negatively with vegetation coverage,and the relationship was clearer at the slope scale than plot scale;(3)the relationship between soil erosion and vegetation coverage showed that vegetation coverage was a predominant factor in retaining soil and water on slopes.With complete turf and high vegetation coverage, alpine meadow was of great significance for soil conservation and prevention of soil erosion.     

Extracting change information of land-use and soil-erosion based on RS & GIS technology

Rapid land-use change has taken place in many arid regions of China such as Yulin prefecture over the last decade due to rehabilitation measures. Land-use change and soil erosion dynamics were investigated by the combined use of remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS). The objectives were to determine land-use transition rates and soil erosion change in Yulin prefecture over 15 years from 1986 to 2000. Significant changes in land-use and soil erosion occurred in the area over the study period. The results show the significant decrease in barren land mainly due to conversion to grassland. Agricultural land increased associated with conversions from grassland and barren land. The area of water erosion and wind erosion declined. The study demonstrates that the integration of satellite remote sensing and GIS is an effective approach for analyzing the direction, rate, and spatial pattern of land-use and soil erosion change.

广西岩溶区的水土流失特点及其防治

广西岩溶地区水土流失遥感数据和典型地区监测资料显示,广西岩溶地区水土流失有3个显著的特点:土壤侵蚀模数低,以水土漏失为主要过程,坡耕地是重要水土流失区。水土流失的突出危害是导致严重的岩溶内涝灾害和大面积耕地丧失。21世纪以来,国家和广西区政府对于广西岩溶地区水土流失防治工作高度重视,组织实施了一大批水土保持工程,治理水土流失面积14 000km~2,遏制了石漠化,降低了土壤侵蚀模数,形成了高效生态产业,创建了弄拉、龙何等生态与经济协调发展的水土保持模式。但广西岩溶地区水土漏失和内涝灾害防治力度不够,建议进一步加大力度实施广西岩溶地区水土漏失、内涝防治以及耕地资源丧失的水土保持工程。

江西东江源区土壤侵蚀与土地利用变化的影响研究

采用RS/GIS技术,研究东江源区1995-2000年的土地利用变化和土壤侵蚀强度变化的关系。结果表明:1)东江源区土壤侵蚀面积有所增加,强度降低;2)土壤侵蚀强度变化主要发生在林地、草地、耕地这3种土地利用方式中,其中林地土壤侵蚀强度有较为明显的增加;3)加重土壤侵蚀强度主要是林地转变为草地和耕地,而耕地向林地、林地内部之间的转化减弱了侵蚀强度。研究表明,土地利用变化是土壤侵蚀的主导因素,尤其是林地、草地和耕地之间的转化对土壤侵蚀强度的变化影响很大。其中,耕地向林地、林地内部之间的转化将对土壤侵蚀强度起到减弱效果,而林地向草地、耕地之间的转化则会加速土壤侵蚀的恶化。     

Characteristics of Pb<Superscript>2+</Superscript> biosorption with aerobic granular biomass

Experimental studies were conducted on the feasibility of aerobic granular biomass as a novel type of biosorbent for Pb^2＋ removal. The results show that the initial pH, Pb^2＋ concentration （Co） and biomass concentration （X0） affected the biosorption process significantly. Both the Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm models describe the biosorption process accurately, with correlation coefficients of 0.932 and 0.959 respectively. The Pb^2＋ biosorpUon kinetics is interpreted as having two stages, with the second stage described reasonably well by a Lagergren pseudo-second order model. Moreover, the surface change of granular biomass after the Pb^2＋ biosorption process appears to be caused by ion exchange and metal chelation according to the analysis results of Environmental Scanning Electron Microscopy （ESEM） and Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy （EDX）.     

Identification of the deposited layers in landslides reservoir and investigation of the sediment yields during the later sixteenth century on the Hill Loess Plateau,China

There are many sediment trapping reservoirs in the Hill Loess Plateau. The Huangtuwa small catchment is selected as a research field where samples were collected in a sediment deposit profile with a vertical length of 12.73 m. By the variation of fine particle content and pollen concentration, 54 flood couples were identified. Taking the freeze-thawing disturbed texture as the sign of the latest flood couple in a year, it is ascertained that those 54 floods should happen in 31 years. Using pyramid volume calculation formula, the sediment yields of flood ranged between 716-30376 t· km^-2, The average sediment yield was 7106 t· km^-2, The annual sediment yields varied between 968-55579 t· （km^2· a）^-1, and the average value is 12629 t· （km^2· a）^-1. Compared with the modern annual sediment discharge of the Huaining River, the erosion rate in the Huangtuwa region 450 years ago was similar to the modern erosion rate. In the period from the 27th year to the 31st year, the average annual sediment yield increased sharply to 31309 t· （km^2· a）^-1. It implied that re-reclamation of the abandoned land in the catchment since the landslide disaster, where vegetation had rehabilitated already, caused very severe soil erosion in the catchment.

广西南流江流域降雨侵蚀力时空变化特征

降雨是区域土壤侵蚀的主要动力因素之一,估算和分析降雨侵蚀力是区域水土流失治理与评价的基础工作。利用南流江流域内各气象站点1961—2006年的日雨量资料,基于日雨量模型估算降雨侵蚀力,并通过趋势分析、小波分析和Kriging空间插值法,定量分析广西沿海红壤区南流江流域降雨侵蚀力的时空变化特征与规律。结果显示,1961—2006年间,南流江流域年均降雨侵蚀力为13 935.5 MJ·mm·hm~(-2)·h~(-1)·a~(-1),年均降雨量为1 712.8mm,降雨侵蚀力变化周期约为14a。各年际和时间段间变化差异不明显,降雨侵蚀力年内集中分布在夏季,占比达57.0%,冬季最小,占比3.8%;在空间上,降雨侵蚀力与降雨量分布格局相似,呈现从西南沿海向东北内陆递减的趋势,行政区划上以钦南区和合浦县最大,北流市和玉州区最小。研究结果可为南流江流域土壤侵蚀风险和生态修复治理等工作提供一定的科学依据。     

Estimation of wind erosion rates by using 137Cs tracing technique: A case study in Tariat-Xilin Gol transect, Mongolian Plateau

Wind erosion is one of the major environmental problems in semi-arid and arid regions. Here we established the Tariat-Xilin Gol transect from northwest to southeast across the Mongolian Plateau, and selected seven sampling sites along the transect. We then estimated the soil wind erosion rates by using the 137Cs tracing technique and examined their spatial dynamics. Our results showed that the 137Cs inventories of sampling sites ranged from 265.63=44.91 to 1279.54=166.53 Bq. m-2, and the wind erosion rates varied from 64.58 to 419.63 t. km-2. a-~ accordingly. In the Mongolia section of the transect （from Tariat to Sainshand）, the wind erosion rate increased gradually with vegetation type and climatic regimes; the wind erosion process was controlled by physical factors such as annual precipitation and vegetation coverage, etc., and the impact of human activities was negligible. While in the China section of the transect （Inner Mongolia）, the wind erosion rates of Xilin Hot and Zhengxiangbai Banner were thrice as much as those of Bayannur of Mongolia, although these three sites were all dominated by typical steppe. Besides the physical factors, higher population density and livestock carrying level should be responsible for the higher wind erosion rates in these two regions of Inner Mongolia.
