Historical and Geographical Trends in Sediment Chronology from Lakes and Marine Sites Along the Norwegian Coast

Sediment cores collected from 12 lakes and eight marine sites along the Norwegian and Svalbard coast as part of a project investigating polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in sediments were dated radiometrically using ²¹⁰Pb, ¹³⁷Cs and ²⁴¹Am fallout radionuclides. In all lake cores, except on Svalbard, the ¹³⁷Cs activity versus depth profile appears to have been significantly modified by post-depositional migration within the sediment column. The relatively low ¹³⁷Cs inventories suggest that these sites were not significantly impacted by fallout from the 1986 Chernobyl accident. All the marine cores have ¹³⁷Cs inventories that are substantially lower than in lake sediments almost certainly due to leaching of ¹³⁷Cs from the marine sediments due to higher solubility in the seawater. In the marine surface sediments, the unsupported ²¹⁰Pb concentrations are up to an order of magnitude lower than in the corresponding lake sediments reflecting the higher (dry mass) sedimentation rate at the marine sites. Five of the cores including marine sites and lakes have unusual high ²¹⁰Pb flux most likely due to sediment focusing. Most of the irregularities in the ²¹⁰Pb records seem to be due to slump events but some patterns are also due to possibly increased accumulation rates. Three of the marine cores show systematic increase in their sedimentation rate from c.1960 towards the present while only one lake shows the same systematic increase.     

Are rare species rare or just overlooked? Assessing the distribution of the freshwater bryozoan, Lophopus crystallinus

Given the widespread degradation of freshwater habitats, assessing the distributions of species that may be negatively or positively impacted should be of general interest. However, determining distributions of freshwater organisms that are small and patchily distributed and attached or sedentary is particularly problematic, as it is time consuming, inaccurate, and nearly impossible when the focal species is rare. Here we illustrate the use of indirect sampling approaches to survey the distribution of the rare freshwater bryozoan Lophopus crystallinus, a priority species in the UK Biodiversity Action Plan [Anonymous, 1999. UK Biodiversity Group Tranche 2 Action Plans. Invertebrates, vol. 4. Environment Agency, Peterborough, pp. 437-439.]. By utilising two complementary methods for sampling bryozoan propagules (statoblasts), namely the collection of debris samples and sediment cores, we achieved an efficient and integrative sampling of habitats across spatial and temporal scales. Analysis of 154 debris samples, encompassing 62 rivers and lakes, identified at least 16 new populations while analysis of 26 sediment cores provided evidence of current or very recent (in the last 10-20 years) occurrence in a further six localities. These results represent a more than 10-fold increase in the current recorded distribution of the species in the UK. Logistic regression analysis provided evidence that L. crystallinus is generally found in lowland sites and is tolerant of eutrophication. Our study exemplifies how integrative and indirect sampling approaches can greatly aid in assessing the conservation status of rare aquatic species and reveals, in this case, that the focal species is less rare than previously appreciated.     

白洋淀柱状沉积物磷形态及其分布特征研究

应用淡水沉积物磷形态的标准测试方法（SMT）,调查了白洋淀6个典型湖区柱状沉积物中的磷形态分布、垂向及在两种沉积物粒级（砂土和粉砂/粘土）上的变化特征,分析了各形态磷之间的相关性。结果表明,白洋淀各湖区柱状沉积物总磷（TP）的平均含量为531~1223mg.kg-1DW,无机磷（IP）是白洋淀沉积物中磷的主要成分,占TP的72~83。湖区水体的污染及富营养化程度影响着生物可利用的铁/铝结合态磷（Fe/Al-P）在白洋淀不同湖区沉积物中的分布,从各形态磷含量和百分含量的变化幅度来看,均是Fe/Al-P〉有机磷（OP）〉钙结合态磷（Ca-P）。在垂向分布和两种粒级沉积物颗粒上,白洋淀沉积物各形态磷都有一定的变化规律,但不同磷形态的变化趋势不同,差异性也不一致。各形态磷相关性分析表明,在平均含量、垂向及粒级分布上,IP和Ca-P之间呈较好相关性,说明稳定的Ca-P是IP的主体;而在平均含量和垂向分布上,TP与IP和Ca-P之间都存在着较好的相关性,说明沉积物中TP的含量主要来自IP中的Ca-P。研究结果对于探讨白洋淀水污染沉积历史及内源磷释放对水体富营养化的贡献具有重要意义。     

High Variability in Sediment Characteristics of a Neotropical Stream Impacted by Surface Mining and Gully Erosion

This study examined patterns of stream sediment granulometry, organic matter (OM) and metal concentration, and surface water characteristics in a catchment in the Brazilian Iron Quadrangle that is highly impacted by surface iron mining and gully erosion. Sediment granulometry indicated fine sediment deposition at impacted stream sites, i.e., tendencies towards bimodal particle size distributions with an additional peak in the sand fraction at impacted stream sites that did not occur at pristine reference sites, as well as towards smaller mean sediment particle sizes at impacted sites than at reference sites. Impacted sites also had significantly lower sediment OM contents than reference sites. Sediment heavy metal and arsenic concentrations did not differ between impacted and reference sites and were generally below published target or threshold effect concentrations. Impacts on surface water characteristics occurred only locally at a site that received tailings pond effluent from an iron mine and had very low pH and conductivity values. Sediment characteristics exhibited substantial spatial variability in the studied tropical catchment, showing that land use impacts can hardly be detected in routine monitoring and impact assessment studies that adopt a before–after control-impact approach and do not consider pristine reference streams. These results underline the importance of high-resolution and long-term sediment monitoring as well as integrated basin-scale sediment management programs.     

基于样点个体代表性的大尺度土壤属性制图方法

大空间尺度范围的土壤属性分布信息是陆地表层过程模拟的基础信息.基于野外样点进行空间插值是获得土壤属性空间分布信息的重要手段.现有的空间插值方法通常要求所用样点对研究区土壤属性空间分布规律具有良好的全局代表性.然而,受采样经费和野外采样条件的限制,所采集的样点往往难以全面地反映研究区土壤属性的空间分布规律.基于这样的样点用现有空间插值方法得到的土壤属性分布图通常精度较低,并且由样点全局代表性差带来的推测不确定性也无法得到度量.为了合理利用这些已采集的但全局代表性不好的样点,本文提出了基于样点“个体代表性”推测土壤属性空间分布并度量推测不确定性的方法.该方法在两点环境条件越相似、土壤属性就越相似的假设下,认为每一样点可以代表与其环境条件相似的地区,并且代表程度可以由两点的环境相似度度量;通过分析环境相似度计算推测不确定性,并以环境相似度为权重计算样点可代表地区的土壤属性值.将该方法应用于推测新疆伊犁地区土壤表层有机质含量,经验证,本文方法能够有效地利用全局代表性差的样点推测样点能够代表地区的土壤属性空间分布,并且所得的推测不确定性与预测残差呈现正向关系,能够有效地指示推测结果的可靠程度.     

呼伦湖沉积物生物硅的分布特征

以Si的生物地球化学特征为基础,结合本小组前期研究成果,探讨了我国纬度最高湖泊呼伦湖沉积物中生物硅（BSi）的分布特征以及有机质与BSi的相关性。研究表明,呼伦湖表层沉积物中BSi的含量介于4.04~18.30 mg.g-1之间,平均11.81 mg.g-1;受陆源输入和沉积物粒度分异的影响,呼伦湖表层沉积物中BSi的空间分布由北西向南东呈现明显递减趋势,BSi的高值区出现在北西部湖区。3个柱芯沉积物中BSi的含量均在10 cm处达到峰值,这可能与20世纪60年代出现的大规模厄尔尼诺现象对湖泊水体中营养盐及藻类繁殖带来的影响有关。沉积物中有机碳与生物硅呈显著正相关关系,OC/BSi值介于0.89~7.22之间,平均2.74,远远小于Redfield比值（106/16）,揭示相同条件下,有机质的分解速率远远大于生物硅的溶解速率,颗粒物表层有机质对BSi起到了很好的保护作用,使沉积物中BSi的大部分不参与再循环。     

Digestive Cecum and Tissue Redistribution in Gills of Telescopium telescopium as Indicators of Ni Bioavailabilities and Contamination in Tropical Intertidal Areas

The relationships between the Ni concentrations of the mudflat snails Telescopium telescopium and the surface sediments have not been reported yet from tropical intertidal areas. In this study, telescope snails and surface sediments were collected from 18 geographical sampling sites in intertidal areas of Peninsular Malaysia. The concentrations of Ni were measured in seven different soft tissues of the snails namely foot, cephalic tentacles, mantle, muscle, gill, digestive cecum, and remaining soft tissues. It was found that different concentrations of Ni were found in the different soft tissues, indicating different mechanisms of sequestration and regulation of Ni in these different tissues. By comparing the Ni concentrations in the similar tissues, spatial variations of Ni were found in the different sampling sites although there was no consistent pattern of Ni in these sites. The highest Ni variation based on the ratio of maximum to minimum values indicated that cephalic tentacle and foot were the main organs having high Ni variation. The use of correlation analysis and multiple linear stepwise regression analysis revealed that digestive cecum of T. telescopium could be used to reflect the Ni contamination of the sampling site. Also, the digestive cecum and gill were found to be the main bioaccumulation and storage sites for Ni. From the Ni accumulation patterns in all the populations investigated, tissue redistributions of Ni in gill was identified and could be proposed as an indicator of high Ni bioavailability and contamination in the sampling site. To our knowledge, this is the first and most comprehensive study on Ni accumulation in the different soft tissues of T. telescopium from tropical intertidal areas, in relation to the sediment data.     

滇池水和沉积物中氮磷空间变化

Dianchi Lake is one of the most eutrophic lakes in China. In order to understand this eutrophication and to help control the pollution, this research investigated the spatial distribution of Kjeldahl nitrogen (K-N) and total phosphorus (TP) through analysis of bottom water and sediment (3 depths) samples collected at 118 sites around Dianchi Lake. The concentrations of K-N and TP for the lake bottom water in the Caohai part of the lake were much higher than those in the Waihai part, generally decreasing from north to south. In the sediments, the K-N concentration was higher in the Caohai part and the middle of the Waihai part. On the other hand, TP in the sediments was greater in the southern and western parts. Both K-N and TP had similar spatial distributions for the sediment samples of three different depths.Vertically, the KoN and TP concentration in the sediments decreased with an increase in depth. This was evidence that eutrophication and pollution of Dianchi Lake was becoming gradually more severe. Exterior factors including uncontrolled input of domestic and industrial effluents as well as non-point pollution around the lake were the main reasons for serious eutrophication; therefore, controlling these was the first step in reducing eutrophication of Dianchi Lake.     

盐碱地土壤养分的空间变异及合理取样密度研究

本研究以东营市河口区新户土地开发项目二期为研究区,运用经典统计法和地统计分析相结合的方法,对土壤有机质、速效磷、速效钾、碱解氮等养分以及土壤全盐的空间变异性质进行研究,并对不同采样密度下有机质的空间插值结果进行分析比较,用均方根误差和相关系数检验不同密度下的插值精度,以确定盐碱地有机质的合理取样密度。结果表明,研究区速效钾的变异系数为18.4%,属于低等程度的变异;有机质、碱解氮、速效磷、土壤全盐的变异系数在57.4%~76.9%之间,属中等程度变异。研究区的各种土壤属性均具有较好的空间结构,表现出一定的空间自相关性。有机质和速效钾的空间变异性主要影响因素与成土母质、土壤类型、气候条件等有关,而碱解氮、速效磷、土壤全盐的空间变异性与耕作方式及农业生产中施肥等有关。随着采样点密度的增加,克里格插值精度提高,适当减小样点密度可以满足插值分析的需要,充分考虑土壤养分空间变异评价的精度分析,确定研究区土壤有机质合理取样数为111个,合理取样单元为48 hm~2,合理取样间距为692 m。     

模糊c-均值算法在区域土壤预测制图中的应用

基于模糊c-均值算法和地统计学空间插值,在面积约为1km2的研究区内进行区域土壤预测制图。研究结果表明:根据研究区123个剖面和土钻样点,通过分析它们在形态学上的特征和定量属性,建立了9类诊断特征土层。通过FCM算法模型,获得4类最佳分类数,模糊指数为1.7。类别数目与研究区受地形、母质和土地利用方式影响的主要成土过程决定的土纲下土壤类型数目一致。将经过对称对数比转换的隶属度成分数据进行单一模糊类别隶属度土壤预测制图,4种类别土壤在空间上具有明显的渐变过渡特征,制图结果较理想。在单一类别隶属度土壤图的基础上生成最大隶属度土壤图,与常规土壤调查土壤图具有共同参比的基础。     

巢湖沉积物磷的形态及其与间隙水磷的关系

采用磷形态的连续提取法,研究了巢湖沉积物中磷的地球化学形态及间隙水中总溶解性磷（DTP）、可溶性磷酸盐（DIP）、可溶性有机磷（DOP）含量的垂向分布特征。结果表明,西湖区的沉积物总磷含量明显高于东湖区。表层沉积物中活性磷含量占总磷的44％-81％,金属氧化物结合态磷（NaOH—P）作为活性磷的主要存在形式,在西湖区含量比例达到47％-60％,对磷释放起重要贡献;磷形态剖面表明,西湖区的金属氧化物结合态磷、可还原态磷（BD—P）含量高于东湖区。金属氧化物结合态磷、可还原态磷、钙结合态磷（HCl-P）受人类活动影响较大,有机磷（Org—P）受外源磷污染影响很小;BD—P、NaOH—P随深度增加而减小,说明巢湖近期磷负荷有增加的趋势;DTP、DIP、DOP在水-沉积物界面的浓度梯度反映它们有自间隙水向上覆水扩散的趋势;巢湖间隙水不同形态磷与BD—P、NaOH—P显著相关（α=0．01）。这项研究可为巢湖内源污染和富营养化的控制与治理提供理论参考。     

Soil and sediment properties affecting the accumulation of mercury in a flood control reservoir

Mercury accumulations in some fish species from Grenada Lake in north Mississippi exceed the Food and Drug Administration standards for human consumption. This large flood control reservoir serves as a sink for the Skuna and Yalobusha River watersheds whose highly erodible soils contribute to excessively high sediment yields and impaired water quality. This study was conducted to characterize the distribution of total Hg in watershed soils and determine the relationship between the easily transportable clay, organic C (OC), and Fe oxide fractions and the movement of Hg from upland sources to reservoir sinks. Cores were collected from soils, of different land-use, representative of the three soil orders (Alfisols, Entisols, and Vertisols) found in the watersheds. Sediment cores were collected from the Yalobusha River and Grenada Lake. In the laboratory, soil cores were sampled by horizon while sediment cores were sampled in 10 cm increments. These samples were characterized for total Hg, particle size distribution, OC, Fe oxide contents, and pH. Mercury concentrations ranged from 10 to 112 µg kg^− 1 in the soil profiles, with average regression coefficient (r²) values of 0.104, 0.362, and 0.06 for Hg versus clay, OC, and Fe oxides, respectively. River sediment cores had Hg concentrations ranging from 0 to 38 µg kg^− 1, and significant (1% level) r² values of 0.611, 0.447, and 0.632 versus clay, OC, and Fe oxides, respectively. Mercury concentrations in the lake sediment ranged from 0 to 125 µg kg^− 1. The r² values for Hg versus clay, OC, and Fe oxides in the lake sediment were 0.813, 0.499, and 0.805, respectively, all significant at the 1% level. These results indicate that total Hg is poorly correlated with the clay, OC, and Fe oxide fractions at depth in the soil profiles because maximum Hg concentrations occur in the surface horizons due to atmospheric in-fall. The statistically significant r² values for Hg versus these components in the sediment cores are the result of particulate clay, Fe oxides, and finely divided OC sorption of Hg from solution during the runoff and sediment transport process. The higher correlations for the lake sediment reflect an enrichment of the Hg-laden clay fraction relative to stream sediment through flocculation and sedimentation processes in the slack-water environment of the reservoir.     

不同尺度下皎口水库水体主要指标空间变异研究

通过不同取样尺度下采集皎口水库水样,测定水体主要指标总氮、总磷、氨氮及高锰酸盐指数含量,研究了地统计分析法在不同取样尺度下对水库水体空间变异的适用性和空间插值的质量。研究结果表明,皎口水库100 m尺度与200 m取样尺度相比,4种主要水质指标在不同取样尺度下空间变异最佳变异模型、插值模拟及空间分布均存在一定差异。空间拟合模型方面,总氮、高锰酸盐指数最佳拟合模型为高斯模型,总磷、氨氮最佳拟合模型为球面模型;结合模型特征参数和空间插值综合评价,总氮和氨氮在200 m取样尺度下表现出较好的空间相关性,插值模拟质量较好,而总磷和高锰酸盐指数则在100 m尺度下表现出一定优势;空间分布上,水体氨氮、高锰酸盐的影响主要是人为因素,总磷受水库内源环境影响较大,而总氮则与库周农业种植等活动密切相关。以上结果表明,总氮和氨氮更适合在200 m尺度下取样,而总磷和高锰酸盐指数宜在100 m尺度下取样。     

滇池沉积物铵态氮的时空变化特征研究

沉积物在湖泊氮、磷循环和水体富营养化过程中起着重要作用。本研究应用GPS定位技术,于2003年5月至2004年5月,对滇池海埂、斗南、罗家村、新街、昆阳等5个代表性样点沉积物铵态氮含量进行为期1 a的动态监测,全面分析了滇池不同区域、不同层次、不同时期沉积物铵态氮的动态变化特征。结果表明,滇池沉积物铵态氮平均含量为74.57 mg kg-1,全湖沉积物铵态氮平均含量年变化范围是45.55~170.1mg kg-1。沉积物铵态氮因季节变化其变化幅度很大,各区域沉积物铵态氮含量总体趋势夏季高、冬季低,但不同位点变化高峰和趋势不同。不同层次沉积物铵态氮含量变化随季节而变化,夏季为表层(0~5 cm)中层(5~10 cm)底层(10~20 cm),冬季为中层表层和底层。表层、中层、底层沉积物铵态氮含量的变化范围分别为18.71~172.9mg kg-1、29.55~192.2mg kg-1、19.93~123.8mg kg-1。各区域沉积物铵态氮平均含量以罗家村最高,斗南最低。沉积物铵态氮与水体铵态氮、水体pH呈显著正相关,与沉积物有效磷呈显著负相关,暗示了沉积物铵态氮是水体氮的源和库,并影响着沉积物中磷的释放。     

条件植被温度指数的四维变分与集合卡尔曼同化方法

为了提高基于VTCI的干旱监测的准确性,以关中平原为研究区域,将遥感反演的条件植被温度指数(VTCI)与CERES-Wheat小麦生长模犁模拟的土壤浅层水分数据相结合,通过四维变分(4DVAR)与集合卡尔曼滤波(EnKF)2种数据同化算法实现了VTCI的同化.由作物生长模型模拟的土壤浅层水分与VTCI建立经验关系得到模拟的VTCI,再将遥感反演的VTCI与模型模拟值分别应用两种同化算法得到VTCI的单点同化结果,继而应用到区域尺度.结果表明,在VTCI单点实验中,两种同化结果均能结合观测值与模拟值的优点而更加符合VTCI先验知识.在两者区域尺度的同化实验中,由于引入了模型的模拟值,同化后的VTCI区域间纹理更好,减少了原观测图像中相邻像元值陡升陡降的情况,提高了基于VTCI的干旱监测的准确性.通过对比2种同化算法在区域尺度上的同化结果与观测值的差值的概率分布及其均方根误差,表明在以旬为步长的VTCI同化实验中,EnKF方法适用性更强.     

氯丹和灭蚁灵在典型污染场地的空间分布研究

测定分析了典型氯丹和灭蚁灵污染场地上的土壤、浅层地下水、地表水和底泥样品,应用地统计学的理论和方法研究了氯丹和灭蚁灵的空间结构与分布特征。结果表明,氯丹、灭蚁灵空间变异性高,随机因素对空间变异起主导作用。厂区内生产车间附近土壤中氯丹和灭蚁灵污染严重,存在明显的水平迁移,污染扩散范围与风向呈现一定相关性。氯丹和灭蚁灵随水的淋溶作用存在显著的竖直迁移,已经扩散至深层土壤中。污染场地附近的浅层地下水和地表水均被污染,底泥污染被限制在排污口附近。通过Kriging法插值画出土壤和浅层地下水中氯丹和灭蚁灵的等值线图,清晰地看出氯丹和灭蚁灵的分布趋势:氯丹和灭蚁灵在表层土壤中污染程度较重,下层土壤和浅层地下水中的污染分布均与上层相对应。土壤、浅层地下水、地表水和底泥中灭蚁灵浓度均小于氯丹,这与氯丹和灭蚁灵的挥发性、迁移性、吸附性等理化性质有关。通过与同类POPs污染场地研究的对比分析发现,此类场地土壤中的POPs分布存在共性特征。     

An Application of Landsat-5TM Image Data for Water Quality Mapping in Lake Beysehir, Turkey

The main goal of this study was to investigate spatial patterns in water quality in Lake Beysehir, which is the largest freshwater reservoir in Turkey, by using Landsat-5TM (Thematic Mapper) data and ground surveys. Suspended sediment (SS), turbidity, Secchi disk depth (SDD), and chlorophyll-a (chl-a) data were collected from 40 sampling stations in August, 2006. Spatial patterns in these parameters were estimated using bivariate and multiple regression (MR) techniques based on Landsat-5TM multispectral data and water quality sampling data. Single TM bands, band ratios, and combinations of TM bands were estimated and correlated with the measured water quality parameters. The best regression models showed that the measured and estimated values of water quality parameters were in good agreement (0.60 < R ² < 0.71). TM3 provided a significant relationship (R ²?=?0.67, p?<?0.0001) with SS concentration. MR between chl-a and various combinations of TM bands showed that TM1, TM2, and TM4 are strongly correlated with measured chl-a concentrations (R ²?=?0.60, p?<?0.0001). MR of turbidity showed that TM1, TM2, and TM3 explain 60% (p?<?0.0001) of the variance in turbidity. MR of SDD showed a strong relationship with measured SDD, with R ²?=?0.71 (p?<?0.0001) for the ratio TM1/TM3 and TM1 band combinations. The spatial distribution maps present apparent spatial variations of selected parameters for the study area covering the largest freshwater lake and drinking water reservoir in Turkey. Interpretation of thematic water quality maps indicated similar spatial distributions for SS, turbidity, and SDD. A large area in the middle portion of the lake showed very low chl-a concentrations as it is far from point and nonpoint sources of incoming nutrients. The trophic state index values were calculated from chl-a and SDD measurements. Lake Beysehir was classified as a mesotrophic or eutrophic lake according to chl-a or SDD parameters, respectively.     

Spatial Variability of the Particle Size Composition of Overbank Floodplain Deposits

An important feature of overbank floodplain deposits is the spatial variability of their particle size composition. Analysis of such spatial variability can assist in developing an improved understanding of the transport and deposition of suspended sediment on river floodplains during overbank flood events, in investigating the fate of sediment-associated contaminants and in calibrating existing floodplain sediment deposition models. The study reported in this paper investigates the spatial variability of the grain size composition of overbank floodplain deposits at different spatial scales, through analysis of surface sediment samples collected from frequently inundated floodplain sites on the Rivers Cuhn, Stour and Severn in the UK. Significant lateral and downstream variations in the grain size composition of the sediment deposits have been documented at the study sites, and the results obtained have been interpreted in terms of the processes governing overbank floodplain flow and sediment transport and deposition, which are influenced by a number of factors including floodplain geometry and topography.     

In-lake alkalinity generation by sulfate reduction: A paleolimnological assessment

The generation of alkalinity by SO₄ reduction and net storage of reduced S in lake sediments has been estimated from an analysis of sediment cores from 16 lakes in ME, VT, NY, MI, MN, and WY. The cores have been dated by ²¹⁰Pb. The rate of pre-1850 (background) storage of S in lake sediments suggests that alkalinity contribution to lake water from this process ranged from 0.2 to 9.3 geq L^?1, with an average of 4 geq L^?1, Background values are similar for all lakes and remain low in the WY lakes up to the present. Maximum alkalinity contributions recorded in sediment, from upper mid-west and eastern lakes, dated between 1850 and 1985 are between 0.4 and 33 geq L^?1, with a lake mean maximum of 9.9 geq L^?1, Significant increases in recent S storage only occur in eastern lakes. Average values for net S accumulation in the sediment of most lakes for post-1850 sediment are typically less than half of maximum values.     

精准农业中不同取样间距下Kriging插值精度对比研究

为了研究土壤不同养分的合理取样间距,研究选择了平顶山地区典型烟田为研究对象,在面积为4 hm2的地块上以20 m×20 m网格采样,共采集耕层(0~20 cm)土壤样品111个。在GIS软件平台上对采样点进行行列删除,人为改变取样间距大小,并运用地质统计学和普通克里格插值方法进行插值,生成了土壤各养分分布图。同时,随机选取7个样点,并将其在不同取样密度下的Kriging插值结果与实测值进行比较。由插值误差分析、独立检验、面积分析和养分分布图可以看出:在该研究区域内,碱解氮、速效磷、速效钾、速效铁和速效锌以20 m取样间距较为合适,有机质和速效铜的合理取样间距为60 m,速效锰则以40 m取样间距较适宜。研究目的是为该地区确定合理的土壤取样间距提供理论依据。
