Grain-size distribution characteristics of red sandy sediments in Dongjiang River valley,southern Nanling Mountains,during the MIS2 stage

Layer LJ3 of Linjiang stratigraphic section in Dongjiang River valley in the south of the Nanling Mountains is a set of red sandy sediments.Measured by thermoluminescence(TL) dating,it was found to be formed in MIS2-9,500 ± 800 yr to 19,600 ± 1,800 yr B.P.After analy-sis of the grain sizes of the 16 samples(LJ3-100 to LJ3-85) in this layer,it was discovered that(1) The contents of each grain group in dif-ferent samples are similar.(2) The values of Md,Mz,,Sk,and Kg vary from LJ3-100 to LJ3-85 in a narrow range.(3) The segments of each sample in the accumulative curves extend parallel with similar slopes.All the three aspects reveal the Aeolian characteristics of Layer LJ3.Therefore,it is thought that Layer LJ3 consists of red sandy sediments formed in MIS2 in the south of Nanling Mountain,which reflects the arid climate at that time.

红河干热河谷林草地红壤中优先流的形态分布特征

[目的]在红河干热河谷地区开展优先流形态分布特征及与红壤特性关系的研究,为区域水资源管理和防治水土流失等工作提供理论依据。[方法]以干热河谷地区典型植被林地和荒草地为研究对象,采用野外染色示踪法并结合图像处理技术研究优先流的形态分布特征及对红壤特性响应。[结果]①林草地上层剖面平均染色面积分别为87.20%和91.97%,染色面积随土层的增加而减小,局部深度内染色面积出现反弹现象;林草地优先流长度指数分别为766.8%和730.0%,林地土壤优先流较荒草地发达;林草地的最大染色深度分别为40 cm和35 cm;②染色路径宽度随土层的增加而减小,0-20 cm土层内以大于250 mm的路径为主,20-40 cm内的染色路径在20-250 mm,而在40 cm以下的土层染色路径集中在20 mm以内;③优先流染色面积比、长度指数、染色路径宽度与土壤因子存在显著相关性,总孔隙度、有机质、含水率等对染色面积比(D A)、长度指数(LI)、染色路径宽度(SPW)累积贡献率分别为97.80%,86.95%,87.45%;含水率、有机质、容重、总孔隙度和Al 3+等因子与染色面积比、染色路径宽度呈最优线性关系。[结论]土壤的孔隙特性、盐基离子和土壤质地等的共同作用最终导致红河干热河谷林草地优先流的差异。
