Leuning in his revised Ball's model replaced relative humidity with VPD s (the vapor pressure deficit from stomatal pore to leaf surface) and thereby made the relation with transpiration more straightforward, and made it possible for the regulation of transpiration and the influence of boundary layer conductance to be integrated into the combined model. If the differences in water vapor and CO 2 concentration between leaf and ambient air are considered, VPD s , the evaporative demand, is influenced by stomatal and boundary layer conductance. The physiological responses of photosynthesis, transpiration, and stomatal function, and the changes of intercellular CO 2 and water use efficiency to environmental factors, such as wind speed, photon flux density, leaf temperature and ambient CO 2, are analyzed. It is shown that if the boundary layer conductance drops to a level comparable with stomatal conductance, the results of simulation by the model presented here differ significantly from those by the previous model, and, in some cases, are more realistic than the latter.展开更多

Saxoul seedlings maintained high transpiration when the soil moisture was above 11%. The seedlings were able to take up water from soil with above 6 % soil water content, which was the threshold level of soil moisture for seedlings. The relationship between transpiration and potential evaporation was linear for well-watered seedlings. The de-crease of soil water availability led to different degrees of down-regulation of stomatal conductance, leaf transpiration and net CO2 assimilation rate. The stomata played a relatively small part in determining the net CO2 assimilation rate for the same seedling. The relationship between net CO2 assimilation rate and transpiration was linear diurnally, and reduction scale of leaf transpiration was much bigger than that of net CO2 assimilation rate by waters tress treatments, therefore intrinsic wa-ter-use-efficiency increased. High evaporative demand increased the leaf transpiration but inhibited net CO2 assimilation rate. Because of the effect of VPD on transpiration in this region, the transpiration of well-watered and mild water stress seedlings becomes responsive to change in stomatal conductance over a wider range.展开更多

Vitrinite reflectance, mercury injection, and maceral statistical analysis are used to characterize the coal. The aspects of coal metamorphism include changes in micro-components as well as in coal structure, the formation of new substances, and changes in gas absorption and storage. The results show that vitrinite reflectance increases within the region influenced by magma intrusion. The metamorphosed region may be divided into a weakly affected belt, a medium affected belt, a strongly affected belt, and a completely affected belt. Compared to the unaffected coal the total pore volume, as well as the amount of big and middle sized holes, increases while the number of transition holes and micro-pores decreases. This diminishes the absorption capacity of the matrix but enlarges the total gas storage space. Vitrinite con- tent initially decreases slightly but then increases rapidly while the inertinite content increases at first but then decreases. Exinite content decreases, then increases, and finally drops to zero. Higher vitrinite, and a lower inertinite, content increase gas absorption ability. This balances reduced adsorption caused by changes to pore structure. Consequently, gas adsorption capacity is not substantially reduced as the coal rank increases. Thermal metamorphism of the coal produces CH4 and other hydrocarbons that increase the total gas content in the coal seam. Asphaltene migrates into the medium and weakly affected regions filling in the pores and fractures there. This plugs the pathway for gas transport. A barrier is formed that hinders gas flow. C02, H2S, N2, and other gases carried in by the magma react to produce C02, which increases in relative concentration and enhances the risk of gas outburst. The two barriers, magma intrusion on one side and the medium and weakly affected belts on the other, as well as the unaf- fected coal seam itself, trap a large amount of gas during the thermal activity. This is the basic reason for gas outburst. These conclusions can enlighten activities related to gas prevention and control in a low rank coal mine affected by ma^ma intrusion.展开更多

Employing experimental methods of slice identification, casting slice, scan electron microscope, and X-ray diffrac- tions, we studied the characteristics of petrology and diagenesis on reservoirs in Shanl section of Shanxi formation and He8 section of Shihezi formation of the Permian system in the East II part of Sulige gas field. The results include： （1） the main sandstones in these areas are dominated by lithic sandstone and litbic silicarenite with low grade of maturity; （2） the diagenesis of sandstone in these areas mainly include compaction, cementation, corrosion and alteration. Conclusions are as follows： （1） the diagenetic stage reached period B of the middle diagenetic stage; （2） the early diagenetic compaction is one of the main factors to decreasing porosity; （3） the secondary pores formed by corrosion in acidity medium con- ditions in period A of the middle diagenetic stage can distinctly ameliorate the poor reservoir capability of sandstone and, （4） cementation in period B of the middle diagenetic stage is the most important factor leading; to poor physical property of sandstone reservoirs.展开更多
