Firstly, eight kinds of physicochemical properties for each of 120 soil samples collected from 25 black soil profiles were analyzed using cluster and correlation analysis. Subsequently, parameter indices were calculated using physicochemical properties. Finally, a modified productivity index (MPI) model were developed and validated. The results showed that the suitable parameters for soil productivity assessment in black soil region of Northeast China were soil available water, soil pH, clay content, and organic matter content. Compared with original productivity index (PI) model, MPI model added clay content and organic matter content in parameters while omitted bulk density. Simulation results of original PI model and MPI model were compared using crop yield of land block where investigated soil profiles were located. MPI model was proven to perform better with a higher significant correlation with maize yield. The correlation equation between MPI and yield was: Y= 3.2002Ln(MP/)+ 10.056, R^2 = 0.7564. The results showed that MPI model was an effective and practical method to assess soil productivity in the research area.展开更多

Increasingly severe gully erosion in this region has destroyed much farmland and reduced grain production. We analyzed SPOT5 imagery from 2007 and TM imagery from 2008 to describe the distributions of gullies and farmland shelterbelts in Kedong County and to assess the effect of farmland shelterbelts on gully erosion. The ima- gery revealed 2311 gullies with average density of 418.51 m km-2, indicating very serious gully erosion. With increasing slope gradient there was an inverse trend between gully density and shelterbelt density, indicating that farmland shelterbelts can prevent gully erosion. The defense effect of farmland shelterbelts against gullyerosion varied with distance: for distances 〈120 m, the defense effect was consistent and very strong; for distances of 120-240 m, a weak linear decrease was found in the defense effect; and for distances 〉240 m, the defense effect of the shelterbelts was significantly weaker. We recommend an optimal planting density of farmland shel- terbelts for the prevention of gully erosion at 1100-1300 m km-2.展开更多

Studies of seismicity before these eight medium-strong earthquakes show that small earthquake activity was enhanced before the occurrences. Though seismicity increase is a common phenomenon in the northeast China region, we have difficulty in predicting the medium-strong earthquakes by this phenomenon alone. In order to predict medium-strong earthquakes through se|smicity increase, this paper tries to propose a new method that calculates small earthquake frequency through the changing pattern of small earthquake activities based on the characteristics of small earthquake activity in the northeast China region. The results show that we can get the obvious anomaly frequency of small earthquakes before medium-strong earthquakes through the new method, and can obtain a medium to short term anomaly index for the northeast China region.展开更多

This is because resource-based cities' economic development has fallen below general levels due to resource exhaustion and an unbalanced industrial structure, among other factors. Further, an economic gap has long existed between Northeast China's large number of resource-based cities and non-resource-based cities. This article comprehensively studies the economic convergence of Northeast China's resource-based cities and non-resource-based cities from 1996 to 2015 by using a dynamic panel to analyze not only the economic development of different industries and types of cities, but also the main factors that influence economic development. The empirical results demonstrate that economic convergence exists in both resource-based and non-resource-based cities, but the economic gap between them has clearly narrowed since the implementation of a strategy to revitalize the Northeast's old industrial base. Shrinking cities are the fastest to converge, as mature cities are slower and regenerating cities are the slowest; regarding industry structure, the secondary industry dominates the economy in mature and shrinking cities, and the tertiary industry in regenerating cities. The primary stimulus in resource-based cities' economic development involves upgrading the industrial structure and investing in human capital. As China faces a ‘new normal' economy, resource-based cities in Northeast China should restructure the economy and perfect their market system to avoid again widening the economic gap.展开更多

With rapid economic development, the deterioration of eco-environment has occurred and the desertification becomes very obvious. The first part of this paper studies the regional differences of landscape patterns and explores the regional differences of desertification. The second part aims to reveal the dynamics of desertification in the 1990s by using NOAA/AVHRR data and thematic data in GIS database.

文摘13 earthquakes with M 〉 5.0 have been recorded in the northeast region of China since 1970, among which eight medium-strong earthquakes are independent in space and time. Studies of seismicity before these eight medium-strong earthquakes show that small earthquake activity was enhanced before the occurrences. Though seismicity increase is a common phenomenon in the northeast China region, we have difficulty in predicting the medium-strong earthquakes by this phenomenon alone. In order to predict medium-strong earthquakes through se|smicity increase, this paper tries to propose a new method that calculates small earthquake frequency through the changing pattern of small earthquake activities based on the characteristics of small earthquake activity in the northeast China region. The results show that we can get the obvious anomaly frequency of small earthquakes before medium-strong earthquakes through the new method, and can obtain a medium to short term anomaly index for the northeast China region.
