Formation and Evolution of the Late Mesozoic-Cenozoic Ruo'ergai Basin,Northeastern Margin of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

The Middle Triassic Ladinian-Upper Triassic Norian series in the Mesozoic-Cenozoic Ruo’ergai basin of Songpan area is characterized of large thick shallow marine-deep marine fine grained clastic.The strata are regionally unconformable between each adjacent two of the Middle-Late Triassic fine grained clastic,the Jurassic coal-containing clastic,the Cretaceous-Paleogene variegated coarse clastic。

Analysis of Doppler Radar Data about a Super Monomer Hailstorms in the Northeastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

[Objective] The Doppler radar data about a super monomer hailstorms in the northeastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in the Zhongchuan Airport in the Lanzhou City on September 6,2010 was studied.[Method] By dint of routine data and radar data,the low vortex shear line type and the super monomer hailstorm around the Zhongchuan Airport in the Lanzhou City on September 6,2010 were expounded.Basic product and secondary product of Doppler radar were used in this process to reflect the characteristics of strong convection weather.Some characteristics of this process shall be explored.[Result] A small gush of cold air from the cold vortex of 500 hPa in the middle and high layer provided impacts.The warm shear line provided water vapor and energy in the 700 hPa.There was strong convective weather in the upper air.Such 10 minutes of hailstorm was rarely seen in the drought land in the northwest.The characteristics of the strong convection were distinct and typical.The front showed no echo form.However,it can not be reflected in 'strong wedge' in another form.In this process,characteristics of BWER and middle scale cyclone were distinct.And this was a typical hailstorm process caused by super monomer.[Conclusion] The study provided some helpful references for the forecast of strong convection weather in the Zhongchuan Airport in Lanzhou City.

Geomorphologic evidence of phased uplift of the northeastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau since 14 million years ago

A typical sequence of fluvial terraces and aeolian deposits overlying these terraces were multidisciplinary investigated. New evidences for uplift process of the northeastern Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau in the past 14 million years were obtained. At least 11 river terraces along Huangshui, the first-class tributary of Yellow River, at the Xining-Huzhu region are identified. While the first one (T1) is classified as an accumulation terrace, the others are all basement river terraces, which consist of the Tertiary sandstone and siltstone bedrock, fluvial gravel and pebbles and the overlying aeolian loess-Red Clay deposit. Samples from the aeolian deposits were examined for paleomagnetic stratigraphic reconstruction (1030 samples), luminescence dating (16 samples), magnetic susceptibility and grain-size distribution (more than 4000 samples). The luminescence dating and stratigraphic correlation suggest that terraces of T11, T10,T8, T7, T3, T2, T1 were formed at 14, 11.3, 1.55, 1.2, 0.15, 0.07 and 0.01 million years ago, respectively. Sedimentological analysis and geomorphological observation indicate that formation and evolution of these terraces were mainly driven by tectonic uplift. Therefore, the terrace sequence provides an ideal geological record of the uplift process of the northeastern Qinghai-Tibet during the past 14 million years, and the timings of the terraces formation are regarded as the timings of tectonic uplift. The significant uplifting events took place at 14, 11.3, 1.2 and 0.15 million years ago, respectively. The fluvial incision at the Xining-Huzhu region is less than 100 m during a period of ～12 million years in the Miocene era (between the T11 and T9), while the Huangshui River had incised 432 m during the past 1.2 million years (from T7 to the present floodplain). The river incision process clearly demonstrates that accelerated rising of the northeastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau during the late Cenozoic, and provides new evidence of previous thoughts. There was a significant readjustment of the fluvial catchment during 1.55-1.2 million years ago: before this time, the paleoriver flowed to southwest. After this time the Huangshui River flows to southeast. A tectonic movement dominates reorganization of this fluvial system.

青藏高原东北边缘冰雹形成机理

"穴道"理论认为,冰雹云中存在冰雹形成和增长的"穴道"。本文以在青藏高原东北边缘及毗邻地区常诱发冰雹灾害的东移短小切变线天气过程为研究背景,采用三维冰雹云分档模式,用MM5V3中尺度气象模式提供冰雹云模拟研究所需的环境大气状况,模拟研究了各类冰雹形成和增长的过程。结果表明,温度、云中上升气流、水平风速零线和云中各类水成物、各类冰雹质粒的空间分布满足"穴道"理论描述的配置区域是冰雹颗粒含水量的大值范围。同时显示出了小冰粒子(D<1mm)、霰和雹胚(1mm<D<5mm)、小冰雹(5mm<D<10mm),在冰雹颗粒形成初期,在-30～-50℃高空存在另外一个大值区域,两个大值区域中间有明显的分割,表明了两个区域形成的微物理机制不同,证明了冰雹云中的"穴道"是冰雹形成和增长的有效区域,因此"穴道"区域也是人工防雹消雹的主要区域。

青藏高原东北边缘桦木林木本植物种间联结

青藏高原东北边缘地区位于我国东部季风区、西北干旱区与青藏高原高寒区的交汇地带,该区既兼具3大自然区的特点,又具有边缘地带气候波动不稳定性和自然生态环境的脆弱性,是全球变化重点监测的地区之一。研究青藏高原东北边缘亚高山桦木林的种间联结,不仅有助于更深刻地认识该地区桦木群落的结构、功能和演替,对于维持该地区群落稳定性以及生态恢复具有重要意义。本文选取青藏高原东北边缘桦木林中20个优势种,采用方差比率法(VR)检验多物种间的联结性,2×2列联表分析共同出现百分率(JI)、点相关系数(Ф)、Dice指数(DI)来表示种间联结程度,用重要值的Pearson相关和Spearman秩相关来检验相伴出现的机率等方法分析其种间关联性。结果表明:群落总体联结VR值为1.094,说明20个种群间表现出净正关联,其统计量W值为10.94说明20个种群之间在总体上的正关联不显著;大多数种对的JI值、DI值在0.4以下,说明种对之间联结程度不显著,Φ值大部分处于[-0.2,+0.2]值域内,说明种对之间的正或负的联结性较弱;而Spearman秩相关所测得的正负关联比要大于Pearson相关所测得的,且Spearman秩相关要优于Pearson相关。从以上结果可以看出,青藏高原东北边缘三种桦树天然次生林处于不稳定的状态,即演替的中期阶段,其逐渐会被地带性植被所取代。

青藏高原东北边缘亚高山桦木林种群年龄结构

基于10个典型样地的调查数据,对白桦、红桦、糙皮桦3种天然分布于青藏高原东北边缘亚高山带的主要桦木种群年龄结构进行了测度分析．结果表明,3种桦树的年龄结构较复杂,白桦和糙皮桦均属于增长型(发育的前期)或稳定型(发育的中期),而红桦的不同群丛属于增长型(发育的初期)或始衰型(发育的中后期),不同群落之间差异明显; 聚类分析结果显示,青藏高原东北边缘桦木林年龄结构大致可以分为5类,中华柳—糙皮桦林单独聚为第1类,桦叶荚蓬—白桦林和辽东栎—山杨—白桦林聚为第2类,箭竹—白桦林、糙皮桦纯林、红桦纯林、山杨—白桦林聚为第3类,白桦纯林单独聚为第4类,箭竹—红桦林和青杆—白桦林聚为第5类．出现以上情况,不仅与群落本身的性质有关,而且与人为干扰和地区环境差异有关．因此,为保护该地区桦木林,不但要进行适当择伐,减少人为干扰,而且应对其进行长期的定位监测．

Relationship of underground water level and climate in Northwest China’s inland basins under the global climate change:Taking the Golmud River Catchment as an example

To identify the response of groundwater level variation to global climate change in Northwest China’s inland basins,the Golmud River Catchment was chosen as a case in this paper.Approaches of time series analysis and correlation analysis were adopted to investigate the variation of groundwater level influenced by global climate change from 1977 to 2017.Results show that the temperature in the Golmud River Catchment rose 0.57℃ every 10 years.It is highly positive correlated with global climate temperature,with a correlation coefficient,0.87.The frequency and intensity of extreme precipitation were both increased.Generally,groundwater levels increased from 1977 to 2017 in all phreatic and confined aquifers and the fluctuation became more violent.Most importantly,extreme precipitation led to the fact that groundwater level rises sharply,which induced city waterlogging.However,no direct evidence shows that normal precipitation triggered groundwater level rise,and the correlation coefficients between precipitation data from Golmud meteorological station located in the Gobi Desert and groundwater level data of five observation wells are 0.13,0.02,−0.11,0.04,and−0.03,respectively.This phenomenon could be explained as that the main recharge source of groundwater is river leakage in the alluvial-pluvial Gobi plain because of the high total head of river water and goodness hydraulic conductivity of the vadose zone.Data analysis shows that glacier melting aggravated because of local temperature increased.As a result,runoff caused groundwater levels to ascend from 1977 to 2017.Correlation coefficients of two groundwater wells observation data and runoff of Golmud River are 0.80 and 0.68.The research results will contribute to handling the negative effects of climate change on groundwater for Northwestern China.

青藏高原边界地区天然水的水化学性质及其成因（英文）

The special geography and human environment of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has created the unique hydrochemical characteristics of the region’s natural water,which has been preserved in a largely natural state.However,as the intensity of anthropogenic activities in the region has continued to increase,the water environment and hydrochemical characteristics of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau have altered.In this study,water samples from the western,southern,and northeastern border areas of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau,where human activities are ongoing,were collected,analyzed,and measured.The regional differences and factors controlling them were also investigated.The key results were obtained as follows.(1) Differences in the physical properties and hydrochemical characteristics,and their controlling factors,occurred in the different boundary areas of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.These differences were mainly the consequence of the geographical environment and geological conditions.(2) The water quality was good and suitable for drinking,with most samples meeting GB (Chinese national) and WHO (World Health Organization) drinking water standards.(3) The chemical properties of water were mainly controlled by the weathering of carbonates and the dissolution of evaporative rocks,with the former the most influential.(4) The biological quality indicators of natural water in the border areas were far superior to GB and WHO drinking water standards.
