基于GIS与RS的北方防沙屏障带生态系统格局演变

研究北方防沙屏障带生态系统格局演变特征,对加强屏障带建设、改善生态环境具有重要意义。以北方防沙屏障带为研究区,根据2005、2010、2015年MODIS遥感影像,将北方防沙屏障带生态系统类型划分为森林、草地、湿地、农田、城镇、荒漠和裸地7类。采用空间统计、转移矩阵、景观指数分析法、PNTIL模型等方法,对北方防沙屏障带2005—2015年生态系统类型时空演变特征进行分析。结果表明,2005—2015年北方防沙屏障带生态系统整体呈稳定状态;从分屏障带看,内蒙古防沙屏障带荒漠面积明显减少,塔里木防沙屏障带森林面积迅速增加,而河西走廊防沙屏障带草地面积明显增加;从正/逆转换方向来看,屏障带内农田、城镇、荒漠及裸地生态系统正向转换率高于逆向转换率。10年间,在景观水平上,北方防沙屏障带斑块数量、斑块密度呈减少趋势;在类型水平上荒漠景观整体呈现破碎化萎缩的趋势特征,森林、草地向形状简单化的方向发展。研究表明,2005—2015年,北方防沙屏障带生态总体向好,治沙效果明显,但局部仍面临较大压力。     

1985—2015年中国县域芝麻生产的时空演变

为阐明我国芝麻生产的时空变化特征，基于1985—2015年的我国县域芝麻生产统计数据，采用集中度、重心迁移、产量贡献率、优势度等指标，对我国芝麻种植面积、产量和单产的时空动态变化进行分析。结果表明:1)1985—2015年，我国芝麻产量和面积的分布基本一致，主要集中在大别山山脉一带和辽宁省西北部；全国芝麻单产水平不断提升，种植面积自2000年起小幅缩减，而产量变化处于明显的波动状态。2)30年间，全国芝麻产量集中度和面积集中度变化波动较小，集中地区分布发生了一定的变化；我国芝麻产量、面积重心同步向南偏西方向迁移，迁移距离分别为252和344 km。3)我国芝麻生产的主导因素一直为面积，占比为40.0%—49.9%；我国芝麻的生产优势区主要在河南、安徽、湖北、江西四省。近30年来，我国芝麻种植变化受其自身特性、病虫害、湿害以及政策等影响，芝麻生产受到一定的限制。因此，优化和调整我国芝麻生产的政策倾向、种植结构、良种研发以及栽培管理等方面尤显关键。

宝鸡峡灌区小麦水足迹时空变化特征与归因分析

基于水足迹理论,计算了实际耗水和施肥情况下宝鸡峡灌区小麦水足迹的各项指标,分析了小麦水足迹各指标的时空变化特征,利用对数平均迪氏指数分解法推导了总水足迹变化量分解公式,细致定量了气候变化和人类活动因子对总水足迹变化的贡献。结果表明:灌区小麦总水足迹1994—2010年均值为6.73亿m~3,Mann-Kendall检验呈显著下降趋势,年均变幅为-0.17亿m~3/a,水足迹结构由蓝水主导演变为灰水主导。单位产量的小麦生产水足迹、生产绿水、蓝水和灰水足迹多年平均值分别为1.04、0.36、0.32、0.37 m3/kg。生产水足迹、生产绿水和蓝水足迹在灌区内从西向东呈递增趋势,生产灰水足迹以兴平为中心向两侧递增。归因分析表明,影响灌区小麦总水足迹变化的主导因子为人类活动,其贡献率和为-113.57%,而气候变化因子的贡献率仅为13.57%。人类活动因子中,贡献率从大到小依次为灌溉定额(-56.58%)、总种植面积(-55.78%)、小麦种植比例(-43.76%)、单位面积施氮量(39.96%)、灌溉水有效利用系数(2.59%)。     

Effects of best management practices on dry matter production and fruit production efficiency of oil palm

Enhancing dry matter production with higher partitioning to fruit bunches is important for sustainable intensification of oil palm. A series of best management practices including site-specific nutrient management, canopy management, and harvesting has been developed for oil palm plantations. However, the effects of these practices on dry matter production and partitioning, and how the effects vary with climatic and soil conditions of plantation sites, remain largely unknown. We established a four-year field trial including 30 paired commercial blocks across Sumatra and Kalimantan, Indonesia. The paired treatments included site-specific best management practices, and standard estate practices as the control. The annual production of aboveground dry matter was 30.0 ± 0.5 t ha⁻¹ yr⁻¹ (mean ± se) under best management practices, higher than 28.8 ± 0.5 t ha⁻¹ yr⁻¹ under standard estate practices. The bunch index, an indicator of the fruit production efficiency, increased by 12% under best management practices compared to standard estate practices. Partitioning of dry matter to the fronds decreased by 8% under best management practices, compared to standard estate practices. The positive effect of best management practices on the annual production of total aboveground dry matter was stronger in the plantation site with higher annual rainfall. These results are useful for optimizing management practices to improve sustainable intensification of oil palm.

Growth change of young Picea sitchensis in response to deer browsing

Taking advantage of the introduction of the black-tailed deer to the Queen Charlotte Islands (British Columbia, Canada), we used dendrochronological analyses to understand the consequences of deer browsing on Sitka spruce growth. We compared shape, radial growth, height growth and age of young spruce in three sites. We identified two types of trees growing side by side: (1) stunted and heavily browsed spruce, smaller than the browsing limit and (2) escaped spruce that were taller than the browsing limit but still browsed in their lower part. The compact and heavily ramified shape in stunted spruce was the result of repeated and intense browsing. In escaped spruce this was also the case below the browsing limit (1.16 m±0.07 m), in sharp contrast with the normal shape that escaped spruce resumed above the browsing limit. We show that the release of browsing pressure, once the tree reaches the browsing limit, is characterised by an abrupt increase in radial growth. Before release, trees show a growth stagnation characterized by narrow rings (0.5 mm per year) and small annual height increments (<5 cm per year). After release, trees show a growth stabilisation characterised by wider rings (3 mm per year) and larger annual height increments (20 cm per year). We use this pattern to estimate frequency and age at release and their possible variation over time. Age differences between stunted and escaped spruce are highly significant and indicate that, despite of browsing, most if not all trees will ultimately reach the browsing limit and escape. Heavy deer pressure (30 deer per km²) delays spruce sapling recruitment by about 8 years. This delay varies in relation to site quality and seems to have increased over time, suggesting an increase in browsing pressure.     

Cardamom, mandarin and nitrogen-fixing trees in agroforestry systems in India's Himalayan region. II. Soil nutrient dynamics

A study on seasonal soil nutrient dynamics was made in large cardamom (Amonum subulatum) and mandarin (Citrus reticulata) agroforestry systems in the Sikkim Himalaya, India. Alnus nepalensis was the N₂-fixing associate in the large cardamom system, and Albizia stipulata in the mandarin agroforestry system. Sites without N₂-fixing species in both agroforestry types comprised native non-symbiotic mixed tree species. Soil was acidic in the cardamom agroforestry and slightly acidic to neutral in the mandarin agroforestry system. Total-N in soils was the highest in the forest-cardamom stand and the lowest in the mandarin-based agroforestry systems. Soil ammonium-N and nitrate-N concentrations were highly seasonal, and the ratio of seasonal maximum and minimum varied up to six times. The C/N ratio was higher in cardamom agroforestry indicating lower N availability than in the mandarin agroforestry. Cardamom stand with Alnus showed a relatively narrower C/N ratio. N₂-fixing species help in maintenance of soil organic matter levels with higher N-mineralization rate as land use change from natural-forest system to agroforestry systems with sparse tree populations. Ratios of inorganic-P/total-P were lower in cardamom agroforestry than the mandarin agroforestry. Seasonal fluctuation in Ca-PO₄, Al-PO₄ and Fe-PO₄ contents regulated the availability of phosphates to some extent for plant uptake.
