田桐与走向终结的南社

在中国近代史上,南社作为一个文学团体,不但作为同盟会的宣传机构,对中国革命起到了推动作用,而且影响了民国以后的若干历史进程,但是1923年南社就终结了。田桐作为辛亥革命的功勋成员,较早加入了南社,但他在南社中并不处于核心地位,笔者通过研究田桐的著作以及相关的南社历史,发现其实他在南社晚期的北京事务所"夺权"、唐宋诗争、曹锟贿选等事件中,其实扮演者十分重要的角色。

Fertility Restoration of Red Soils in Low-Hilly Region of Middle Subtropical China

There are about 1.27 million ha of upland red soils derived from Quaternary red clay facing the degradation in the low-hilly region of the middle subtropical China. From the aspects of chemistry, physics and microbiology, the processes of soil fertility restoration in the surface layer (0～20 cm) under three types of land use patterns (i.e. citrus orchard, tea garden and upland) in two provinces were studied in this work. Results showed that the reclamation of eroded waste land improved most of soil properties. Soil organic matter, total N and P, available P and K, and exchangeable Ca and Mg increased, but soil total K and exchangeable Al decreased. Soil PH decreased by 0.5 unit in the pure tea plantation for 20 years. Soil reclamation increased the percentage of soil microaggregates (<0.25 mm), especially those with a diameter of 0.02～0.002 mm. Soil total porosity increased in the cultivated lands with the increase of soil aeration and capillary porosity. The number of soil microorganisms increased with reclamation caused mainly by the huge increase of the total amount of bacteria. With the cultivation, the activity of soil urease and acid phosphatase increased, but that of invertase dropped.

Impacts of Sloping Land Conversion Program on the vegetation in loess hilly and gully area of northern Shaanxi

Aiming at alleviating the serious soil erosion, the Chinese government initiated the Sloping Land Conversion Program （SLCP） in 1999. Now; after 8 years of project implementation, the ecological recovery effects of the SLCP have become the hot issue of academic circle. This paper; raking the loess hill and gully area of northern Shaanxi as an example, presents a methodology for assessing the vegetation restoration effect of SLCP with normalized difference vegetation index （NDVI）. The key components include calculation of the Growing Season NDVI （GSNDVI）, and estimation of the NVDI change induced by climate and SLCP, respectively. Based on the method, the NDVI change between 2000 and 2006 was obtained using the GSNDVI that excluded the noise from snow and ice. After the part of total NDVI change caused to： climate variation was estimated using empiric formulae, we obtained the part induced by human factors, i.e. the SLCP The human induced part of ND VI change was considered as an approximation indicating the effect of the SLCP on the vegetation. Finally, we analyzed the ND VI change characters of the whole study area, different slope lands and different land use types by spatial statistics method. Results show that the vegetation condition is significantly improved by the SLCP, particularly land types that directly involved in the SLCP, such as steeply slope farmlands, degraded grasslands, etc.

Soil Fertility Self-development Under Ecological Restoration in the Zhuxi Watershed in the Red Soil Hilly Region of China

Current methods that utilize simple data or models to judge whether soil fertility can selfdevelop are not sufficiently rigorous. A new framework has been set up using catastrophe theory, laboratory experiment, field work, and 3S(Geographic information system, Global positioning system, and Remote sensing) to explore soil fertility catastrophe under ecological restoration, discriminate whether soil fertility can self-develop, and propose adjustment of ecological restoration measures in the Zhuxi watershed of Changting County, Fujian Province, China, which is a typical representative of the red soil hilly region of China. The results show that: 1) the soil fertility is obviously improved through the four ecological restoration measures, which impels soil fertility catastrophe. Among 89 soil samples, catastrophic soil samples and stable soil samples account for 26(29.21%) and 63(70.79%) of the samples, respectively. The four ecological restoration measures are listed in the order lowquality forest improvement > arbor–bush–herb mixed plantation > orchard improvement > closing measures according to the proportions of catastrophic soil samples. A typical soil sample in Bashilihe that can self-develop is selected as the criterion to judge the upper lobe and lower lobe of soil fertility in the process surface of the Cusp catastrophe model. Twenty-six(29.21%) were in the middle lobe, 10(11.24%) were in the upper lobe, and 53(70.79%) were in the lower lobe. The catastrophic direction of 26 catastrophic soil samples is to the upper lobe according to soil and water loss change as well as fieldwork. There is a significant positive correlation of Δ with soil and water loss change, and the lower soil and water loss relates to higher catastrophic probability. 2) Soil fertility self-development could be regionalized as "Soil fertility can self-develop" whose area was 12.74 km2(28.33%) distributed mainly in the leftmost and rightmost parts, "Soil fertility tends to self-develop" whose area was 11.63 km2(25.89%) distributed mainly in the middle part, and "Soil fertility cannot self-develop" whose area was 20.58 km2(45.78%) distributed mainly between the above two types. 3) There is no need to take ecological restoration measures and excessive human interference should be avoided in the future in regions of "Soil fertility can self-develop" and "Soil fertility tends to self-develop," and ecological restoration measures should be taken in region of "Soil fertility cannot self-develop." 4) We suggest withdrawal and implementation of ecological restoration measures should be incorporated into the evaluation criteria of ecological restoration to avoid misuse of funds.

A Study of the Qianyanzhou Mode in a Subtropical Red Soil Hilly Region of China

Qianyanzhou is located in the heart of Jitai Basin in Guanxi town,the county seat of Taihe county in Jiangxi province.Qianyanzhou has a subtropical humid climate and exemplifies the geographic and geomorphologic characteristics of red soil hilly regions in southern China.In the early 1980s,to control soil and water loss and problems with grain yields,Qianyanzhou's researchers proposed an innovative,comprehensive stereoscopic ag- riculture development mode known as the 'Qianyanzhou mode'.This mode included a forest-livestock-food ecosystem,a forest-fruit-economy ecosystem,and a land-water compound stereoscopic system,all located within a watershed.In the Qianyanzhou mode,soil and water loss were completely controlled,thereby promoting environmental conservation and economic development.The state and the society as a whole supported this mode thanks to its far-reaching social impact.In the 21st century,given new societal concerns and continuing economic development,Qianyanzhou mode has been restructured as two ecosystems of forest-fowl and planting-raising circular economies at landscape level,based on an increase in vegetation coverage from 4.3% to more than 80%.These improved modes can significantly enhance the ecosystem,reduce poverty,and to promote the construction of local ecological civilization.This study introduces the Qianyanzhou mode and summarizes its characteristics in different phases.We hope that the information in this study supports improvements to and promotion of the Qianyanzhou mode.We believe the Qianyanzhou mode can play an important role in efforts to modify the agriculture industrial structure,alleviate poverty,and construct ecological civilization.

Temporal-spatial changes in the belowground bud bank in interdune lowlands of an active sand dune ecosystem in northeastern China

Aims The belowground bud bank plays an important role in vegetation restoration of sand dune ecosystems in semi-arid regions.However,few studies have focused on the temporal-spatial changes of belowground bud banks in interdune lowlands.Methods The size and composition of belowground bud bank in five interdune lowlands with different sizes were investigated for one growing season to determine the temporal and spatial changes in belowground bud bank.Important Findings Total bud bank density was the highest in the medium-sized interdune lowland as was tiller bud density.The density of stem-base buds exhibited an opposite trend while rhizome bud density did not change with interdune lowland size.There was a significant seasonal change in the bud bank size.The total bud density peaked in August and was the lowest in October.A similar trend was found for rhizome bud density,whereas the density of stem-base buds showed an opposite trend,and tiller bud density did not change signifiesntly during the growing season.We conclude that the belowground bud bank density is changed with interdune lowland size and season.These results contribute to the understanding of adaptive strategies of plants growing in active dune ecosystems and provide pointers for adopting effective measures to restore and conserve dune vegetation in semi-arid regions.
