A physically-based distributed model,Soil and Water Assessment Tool( SWAT),was used in this research,to quantitatively estimate the NPS load and analyze the temporal and spatial distributions of NPS pollution in Ashi River Basin. The results indicated that SWAT was suitable to simulate stream-flow and water quality in Ashi River Basin. Total Nitrogen which was contributed by NPS( NPS-TN) accounted for 32. 47%-62. 61%,and Total Phosphorus which was contributed by NPS( NPS-TP)accounted for 22. 30%- 57. 85% of the total load respectively. In inter-annual timescale,both NPS-TN and NPS-TP were influenced by stream-flow and fertilizer. However,when compared with fertilizer,NPS pollution was more directly affected by stream-flow. In annual timescale,NPS-TN and NPS-TP mainly occurred in flood season( from May to September). In the aspect of space,spatial differences of NPS-TN and NPS-TP were extremely significant. The spatial variations of NPS pollution were mainly influenced by land use,precipitation,soil and slope.展开更多

Based on the three-year landuse data( 2000,2005 and 2008),Arc GIS and Fragstat were used to analyze the landuse type and the change of landscape pattern. The relationships between landuse and non-point source-total nitrogen( NPS-TN) and nonpoint source-total phosphorus( NPS-TP) were discussed with the methods of spatially statistical analysis,landscape pattern analysis and principal component analysis. The study results conveyed that agricultural land and forestland,which accounted for over 92% of the study area,were the major landuse type of Ashi River Basin.Meanwhile,the NPS pollution had close connections with landuse type and landscape pattern. When it comes to landuse type,the export risks of NPS-TN and NPS-TP were agricultural land > urban land > grassland > forestland. As for landscape pattern,NPS-TN and NPS-TP were positively related to SHDI and SHEI, while negatively connected with LPI,AI and COHESION. Therefore,the study could reach the conclusion that the more fragmented and complicated the landscape patterns were,the more serious the NPS pollution was.展开更多

文摘碳储量(Carbon storage,CS)影响陆地生态系统碳循环过程的稳定和平衡,定量评价CS时空变化与未来预测是实现区域可持续发展的关键环节,对区域生态环境管理具有重要意义。以黑土区典型农业小流域—阿什河流域为研究区,探讨以小流域为研究尺度的CS“历史-未来”时空变化,整合不同尺度下CS进而制定碳管理目标。结果表明,利用生态系统服务和权衡的综合评估模型(Integrated valuation of ecosystem services and trade-offs,InVEST)量化1995—2020年CS,总体减少171.42×104 t,年均损失达到6.87×104 t,以2010—2015年CS下降最显著。CS空间分布具有异质性,其高值区分布在流域上游区域。通过整合行政单元和水文单元尺度下的CS,以管理职责为导向,采用聚类分析方法划分该流域碳管理单元(3个单元和5个亚单元)。对各单元CS制定管理目标,利用CA-Markov模型预测自然情景和政策情景下2025年CS,表明碳管理措施的制定可有效减缓区域CS损失,减缓效率达47.52%。该研究可为明确黑土区农业小流域CS发展模式和可持续发展策略提供科学参考。
