Spatio-temporal variation of water conservation and its impact factors on the southern slope of Qilian Mountains

The ecology of Qilian Mountains has been seriously threatened by uncontrolled grazing and wasteland reclamation. This study examined the ecological changes on the southern slope of Qilian Mountains in China from the perspective of water conservation by classifying different clusters of water conservation functional areas to efficiently use limited human resources to tackle the water conservation protection problem. In this study, we used Integrate Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Tradeoffs(InVEST) model to estimate water conservation and analyzed the factors that influence the function. The results of this study include:(1) from 2000 to 2015, the water conservation of the southern slope of Qilian Mountains generally showed an increasing trend, and the total water conservation in 2015 increased by 42.18% compared with that in 2000.(2) Rainfall, fractional vegetation cover(FVC), and evapotranspiration have the most significant influence on the water conservation of the study area. Among them, water conservation is positively correlated with rainfall and FVC(P<0.05) and negatively correlated with evapotranspiration(P<0.05).(3) The importance level of water conservation functional areas gradually increases from northwest to southeast, and the region surrounding Menyuan Hui Autonomous County in the southeast of the southern slope of Qilian Mountains is the core water conservation functional area. And(4) the study area was divided into five clusters(Cluster Ⅰ–Cluster Ⅴ) of water conservation, with the areas of Clusters Ⅰ through Ⅴ accounting for 0.58%, 13.74%, 41.23%, 32.43%, and 12.01% of the whole study area, respectively.

Preliminary Study on Forest Fire Prevention and Extinguishing in Townships in the Southern Mountainous Areas of Zhejiang Province:A Case Study of Lishui

Forest fires seriously threaten forestry resources and the life and property safety of people in mountainous areas of Lishui City. In this paper, a fire prevention concept with refined forecast and early warning of forest fire danger weather ratings in townships as the starting point, satellite real-time observation of fire spots, monitoring of the Internet of Things and other high-tech products as an implementation means, and strengthening forest fire prevention equipment and personnel in townships as a guarantee was established. The command system for rapid emergency response by cities, counties and townships should be improved. During the forest fire prevention period, fire sources should be strictly controlled, and the basic principles of forest fire fighting in townships should be implemented into the actual fire prevention and fire fighting work to eliminate forest fires in time at the initial stage and before the disaster.

Study on the Countermeasures of Eco-environment Conservation in the Mountainous Areas of Southern Ningxia under New Situation

Under the implementation of principal functional zoning,further promotion of western development,regional migration,new countryside construction,global warming and so on,the spatial adjustment of regional industry and its structure must be enforced.The spatial adjustment and arrangement of population and economy in the mountainous areas of southern Ningxia could create tremendous opportunity for its eco-environment conservation.Based on analysis on the opportunity and challenge of eco-environment conservation in the mountainous areas of southern Ningxia,some countermeasures of eco-environment conservation were discussed in the paper,so as to provide some theoretical references for the eco-environment conservation in the mountainous areas of southern Ningxia.

Gas Sources for Natural Gas Hydrates in the Permafrost Region of the Qilian Mountains

Objective As a new type of gas hydrates,the natural gas hydrates in the perfost region of the Qilian Mountains are characterized by their shallow burial depth,welldeveloped coal seam,high content of heavy hydrocarbons and multiple sets of mature and over-mature source rocks.Gas sources of these gas hydrates in the study area include coal-type gas and oil-type gas.

The simulation of LUCC based on Logistic-CA-Markov model in Qilian Mountain area, China

The Qilian mountain area was examined for using the Logistic-CA-Markov coupling model combined with GIS spatial analyst technology to research the transformation of LUCC, driving force system and simulate future tendency of variation. Results show that： （1） Woodland area decreased by 12.55%, while grassland, cultivated land, and settlement areas increased by 0.22%, 7.92%, and 0.03%, respectively, from 1986 to 2014. During the period of 1986 to 2000, forest degradation in the middle section of the mountain area decreased by 1,501.69 km2. Vegetation cover area improved, with a net increase of grassland area of 38.12 km2 from 2000 to 2014. （2） For constructing the system driving force, the best simulation scale was 210m×210m. Based on logistic regression analysis, the contribution （weight） of composite driving forces to land use and cover change was obtained, and the weight value was more objectively compared with AHP and MCE method. （3） In the natural scenarios, it is predicted that land use and cover distribution maps of Qilian mountain area in 2028 and 2042, and the Lee-Sallee index test was adopted. Over the next 27 years （2015-2042）, farmland, woodland, grassland, settlement areas show an increasing trend, especially settlements with an obvious change of 0.56%. The area of bare land will decrease by 0.89%. Without environmental degradation, tremendous structural change of LUCC will not occur, and typical characteristic of the vertical zone of the mountain would remain. Farmland and settlement areas will increase, but only in the vicinity of Qilian and Sunan counties.

The relationship between ENSO cycle and temperature,precipitation and runoff in the Qilian mountain area

El Nino and La Nina are the events concerned internationally. The corresponding relationship between El Nino events, temperature, precipitation and runoff in the Qilian mountain area are analyzed according to the date from the weather and the hydrometric stations in the area, the results show that effects of El Nino events to temperature, precipitation and runoff are different in the different time and zones. When El Nino occurs, temperature rises, but precipitation and runoff decrease in the whole Qilian mountain area, especially in the east and middle parts of the area. Temperature rises, precipitation and runoff still decrease in the eastern Qilian mountain area in the next year El Nino occurring, but decrease extent is fewer. There are not obvious relationship between temperature, precipitation and runoff with El Nino events in the western Qilian mountain area.

Growth behavior and resource potential evaluation of gas hydrate in core fractures in Qilian Mountain permafrost area, Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

The Qilian Mountain permafrost area located in the northern of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is a favorable place for natural gas hydrate formation and enrichment,due to its well-developed fractures and abundant gas sources.Understanding the formation and distribution of multi-component gas hydrates in fractures is crucial in accurately evaluating the hydrate reservoir resources in this area.The hydrate formation experiments were carried out using the core samples drilled from hydrate-bearing sediments in Qilian Mountain permafrost area and the multi-component gas with similar composition to natural gas hydrates in Qilian Mountain permafrost area.The formation and distribution characteristics of multi-component gas hydrates in core samples were observed in situ by X-ray Computed Tomography(X-CT)under high pressure and low temperature conditions.Results show that hydrates are mainly formed and distributed in the fractures with good connectivity.The ratios of volume of hydrates formed in fractures to the volume of fractures are about 96.8%and 60.67%in two different core samples.This indicates that the fracture surface may act as a favorable reaction site for hydrate formation in core samples.Based on the field geological data and the experimental results,it is preliminarily estimated that the inventory of methane stored in the fractured gas hydrate in Qilian Mountain permafrost area is about 8.67×1013 m3,with a resource abundance of 8.67×108 m3/km2.This study demonstrates the great resource potential of fractured gas hydrate and also provides a new way to further understand the prospect of natural gas hydrate and other oil and gas resources in Qilian Mountain permafrost area.

Study of temperature and precipitation change in upstream mountain area of the Hexi inland river basin since 1960s

All rivers in the Hexi inland region of Gansu Province, China, originate from the northern slope of the Qilian Mountains. They are located in the southern portion of the region and respectively belong to the three large river systems from east to west, the Shiyang, Heihe and Shule river basins. These rivers are supplied by precipitation, snowmelt and ice-melt runoff from the Qilian Mountain area. Therefore, changes of precipitation and temperature in the upstream watersheds of these rivers have an important effect on changes of mountainous runoff and reasonable utilization of water resources in this region. For this reason, the Qilian Mountain area, upstream watersheds and runoff forming areas of these rivers are chosen as the study area. The change characteristics and variation trend of temperature and precipitation in this area under the backdrop of global warming axe analyzed based on observa- tional data of relational weather and hydrologic stations in the area. Results show that temperatures in the upriver mountain areas of these three large river basins have been increasing, although the increasing degree is differentially affected by global warming. The rising extent of annual and seasonal temperatures in the upstream mountain area of the Shule river basin located in the west- em Qilian Mountains, were all largest over the past 50 years. Precipitation in the upstream mountain areas of Hexi region＇ three river basins located respectively in the western, middle and eastern Qilian Mountains have been presenting an increasing trend to varying degrees as a whole for more than 50 years. This means that climate in the upstream mountain areas of Hexi region＇ three river basins are becoming increasingly warmer and moister over the past 50 years, which will be very good for the ecological en- vironment and agricultural production in the region.

Glacier variations and their response to climate change in an arid inland river basin of Northwest China

Glaciers are a critical freshwater resource of river recharge in arid areas around the world.In recent decades,glaciers have shown evidence of retreat due to climate change,and the accelerated ablation of glaciers and associated impacts on water resources have received widespread attention.Glacier variations result from climate change,so they can serve as an indicator of climate change.Considering the climatic differences in different elevation ranges,it is worthwhile to explore whether different responses exist between glacier area and air temperature in each elevation zone.In this study,we selected a typical arid inland river basin(Sugan Lake Basin)in the western Qilian Mountains of Northwest China to analyze the glacier variations and their response to climate change.The glacier area data from 1989 to 2016 were delineated using Landsat Thematic Mapper(TM),Enhanced TM+(ETM+)and Operational Land Imager(OLI)images.We compared the relationships between glacier area and air temperature at seven meteorological stations in the glacier-covered areas and in the Sugan Lake Basin,and further analyzed the relationship between glacier area and mean air temperature of the glacier surfaces in July–August in the elevation range of 4700–5500 m a.s.l.by the linear regression method and correlation analysis.In addition,based on the linear regression relationship established between glacier area and air temperature in each elevation zone,we predicted glacier areas under future climate scenarios during the periods of 2046–2065 and 2081–2100.The results indicate that the glaciers experienced a remarkable shrinkage from 1989 to 2016 with a shrinkage rate of–1.61 km^2/a(–0.5%/a),and the rising temperature is the decisive factor dominating glacial retreat;there is a significant negative linear correlation between glacier area and mean air temperature of the glacier surfaces in July–August in each elevation zone from 1989 to 2016.The variations in glaciers are far less sensitive to changes in precipitation than to changes in air temperature.Due to the influence of climate and topographic conditions,the distribution of glacier area and the rate of glacier ablation first increased and then decreased in different elevation zones.The trend in glacier shrinkage will continue because air temperature will continue to increase in the future,and the result of glacier retreat in each elevation zone will be slightly slower than that in the entire study area.Quantitative glacier research can more accurately reflect the response of glacier variations to climate change,and the regression relationship can be used to predict the areas of glaciers under future climate scenarios.These conclusions can offer effective references for assessing glacier variations and their response to climate change in arid inland river basins in Northwest China as well as other similar regions in the world.

Leaf stoichiometry of Leontopodium lentopodioides at high altitudes on the northeastern Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau,China

Altitude affects leaf stoichiometry by regulating temperature and precipitation,and influencing soil properties in mountain ecosystems.Leaf carbon concentration(C),leaf nitrogen concentration(N),leaf phosphorous concentration(P),and their stoichiometric ratios of Leontopodium lentopodioides(Willd.)Beauv.,a widespread species in degraded grasslands,were investigated to explore its response and adaptation strategy to environmental changes along four altitude gradients(2500,3000,3500,and 3800 m a.s.l.)on the northeastern Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau(QTP),China.The leaf C significantly varied but without any clear trend with increasing altitude.Leaf N showed an increasing trend,and leaf P showed a little change with increasing altitude,with a lower value of leaf P at 3500 m than those at other altitudes.Similarity,leaf C:P and N:P exhibited a little change with increasing altitude,which both had greater values at 3500 m than those at other altitudes.However,leaf C:N exhibited a decreasing trend with increasing altitude.Soil NH^(+)_(4)-N,soil pH,soil total phosphorus(STP),mean annual temperature(MAT),and mean annual precipitation(MAP)were identified as the main factors driving the variations in leaf stoichiometry of L.lentopodioides across all altitudes,with NH^(+)_(4)-N alone accounting for 50.8%of its total variation.Specifically,leaf C and N were mainly controlled by MAT,soil pH,and NH^(+)_(4)-N,while leaf P by MAP and STP.In the study area,it seems that the growth of L.lentopodioides may be mainly limited by STP.The results could help to strengthen our understanding of the plasticity of plant growth to environmental changes and provide new information on global grassland management and restoration.

济南南部山区土地利用/覆被变化对碳储量的影响研究

以黄河下游生态脆弱区-济南南部山区为研究对象,基于区域1980~2020年6期土地利用/覆被数据,结合InVEST模型(Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Trade-offs model),分析区域土地利用/覆被和碳储量的时空分布特征和动态变化规律,研究土地利用/覆被变化对陆地生态系统碳储量的影响.结果表明,土地利用/覆被变化对碳储量的影响较为显著,1980~2005年土地利用变化较小,人类活动影响较小,由于林草地碳储量的累积,碳储量增长速度明显高于其他时期;2005~2010年城市扩张速度最快,城乡建设用地大量侵占耕地、林地和草地,使区域固碳能力明显下降;2010~2020年,由于城市化扩张限制以及植树造林等生态保护措施的实施,区域碳储量逐渐呈增长趋势;1980~2020年济南南部山区的总碳储量呈“增长-下降-增长”的趋势;并且林地是济南南部山区碳储量的主要供给者,区域碳储量值随着远离城乡居民生活中心的距离增大而增大,说明人类活动对区域碳储量有重要的影响.另外,土地利用类型的转移引起地类碳密度的变化,是区域碳储量变化的主要影响因素,土地利用类型的碳储量变化与各地类的面积变化有一定的关系.该成果可为生态脆弱区塑造良好的陆地碳汇格局提供理论依据.

皖南山区不同类型森林土壤阳离子交换性能差异

为了解皖南山区不同类型森林土壤阳离子交换性能差异,为该区合理营林提供参考,选取皖南山区6种不同类型森林土壤(杉木林、马尾松林、栓皮栎林、外松林、天然阔叶林和杉木-栓皮栎混交林)为研究对象,比较森林土壤阳离子交换性能的差异。结果表明:(1)研究区土壤呈强酸性,土壤有机质含量为33.84~91.50 g·kg^(-1),总氮含量为0.94~3.37 g·kg^(-1),碱解氮含量为131.58~203.62 mg·kg^(-1),总磷含量为0.22~0.77 g·kg^(-1),有效磷含量为0.17~0.32 mg·kg^(-1);土壤主要缺乏速效磷养分。(2)阳离子交换量在8.09~12.57 cmol·kg^(-1)之间,排序为:天然阔叶林>外松林>马尾松林>混交林>杉木林>栓皮栎林,不同森林土壤间阳离子交换量的差异主要由其土壤有机质的差异引起。(3)交换性盐基总量在1.74~2.72 cmol·kg^(-1)g之间,排序为:马尾松林>外松林>杉木林>栓皮栎林>混交林>天然阔叶林,Ca^(2+)和Mg^(2+)是主要的盐基离子,是成土过程中Ca、Mg优先固持形成的。(4)盐基饱和度在13.97%~28.98%之间,排序为:马尾松林>杉木林>栓皮栎林>外松林>混交林>天然阔叶林,该差异是由淋溶作用和树木对盐基离子的吸收共同作用形成的差异。综上,研究区土壤保肥和缓冲性能较低且供肥能力较差,尤其是土壤速效磷供应能力差。其中松林的供肥保肥能力及缓冲性能明显优于其他树种森林,混交林的速效养分含量更高,故可通过营造松类混交林以及施肥来提高森林土壤供肥保肥能力和缓冲性能。

近40年济南南部山区土地利用/覆被的变化特征及影响因素研究

基于济南南部山区1980、1995、2005、2010、2015、2020年6期土地利用/覆被数据,结合土地利用/覆被变化的转移矩阵、单一动态度和综合动态度等指标,研究近40年济南南部山区土地利用/覆被的时空演变特征,采用主成分分析法,探究了研究区土地利用变化的影响因素。结果表明:南部山区的主要土地利用类型为耕地、林地和草地,其占比为90%左右,林地、草地主要分布在上游河源区及海拔较大的中部地区,城乡用地及耕地主要分布在河流两岸及下游地区;1980—2010年,由于经济社会发展以及城市扩张,耕地逐渐减少,林地、草地、水域有略微的减少,且基本转化为城乡用地,城乡用地逐渐从下游向上游河源地区扩展,其中,2005—2010年各土地利用类型变化最为剧烈,其综合动态度为0.49%;2010年以来,南部山区禁止一切与水源保护、生态保护无关的建设活动。2010—2015年,只有水域面积存在明显变化。2015—2020年各土地利用类型基本保持稳定,城市扩张速度得到了减缓。经济社会发展是引起城市快速扩张的重要原因,积极的保护政策有利于南部山区生态格局的优化和生态环境改善。

基于SHAW模型的祁连山浅山区荒漠草地土壤水热动态模拟研究

祁连山是我国重要的生态安全屏障,其浅山区是连接高寒山区与绿洲平原的过渡地带,土壤水热变化显著影响该区生态系统与水文过程的相互作用。本文利用祁连山浅山区荒漠草地的观测资料,基于SHAW模型对土壤水热动态进行了模拟和分析,利用控制变量法量化了不同冻融阶段气温和降水变化对土壤温度和水分的影响。结果表明:模型模拟的各层土壤温度纳什效率系数(NSE)均大于0.95,且土层越深模拟效果越好,模型模拟的土壤水分总体上能反映土壤水分的动态变化和浅层土壤中降水的入渗过程。不同冻融阶段土壤水热分布的剖面特征差异明显,总体而言,土壤温度波动随深度逐渐变小,而土壤水分随深度逐渐升高,浅层土壤水热过程对气象要素变化更敏感。情景分析表明,气温每升高1.0℃,土壤冻结发展期、完全冻结期和融化发展期分别缩短1.4 d、0.8 d和2.2 d,表层和深层土壤温度分别升高0.6℃和0.1℃,土壤温度升高的幅度随深度减小。降水的变化对完全融化期0.20~1.20 m的土壤水分影响最显著,对融化发展期和冻结发展期的影响体现在0.20~0.60 m的浅层土壤,而对完全冻结期的土壤未冻水含量基本没有影响。研究结果可为气候变化背景下祁连山浅山区脆弱生态系统的稳定性维持提供参考。
