辽宁省东部山区5种森林植被类型水文生态效益综合评判

利用层次分析与Fuzzy数学相结合方法,对辽宁省东部山区5种森林植被类型水源涵养能力进行了多目标综合评判。首先利用层次分析法确定了评价因子林冠截留、林冠蒸散、枯落物蓄水、土壤容重、非毛管孔隙度、初渗速率、稳渗速率、土壤总蓄水和土壤有效水的权重集为C=(0.0245,0.0051,0.1993,0.0109,0.0762,0.0565,0.2827,0.0573,0.2866),然后利用最大模糊熵原则确定了评价因子的隶属函数,最后利用Fuzzy综合评判得出油松、落叶松、红松、柞木林、杂木林评价结果模糊子集为B=(0.4686,0.3784,0.4145,0.6128,0.4808),结果表明阔叶林水源涵养效益高于针叶林,其中柞木林效益最佳。     

基于水文分析的动物通道选址——以龙栖山自然保护区为例

自然保护区内道路等基础设施的建设不可避免地会对动物生境产生影响,造成动物死亡率提升。动物通道的设置是改善由道路建设引起的生境破碎化的有效途径,而正确选择动物通道的位置才能使其真正发挥作用。以福建省将乐县龙栖山国家级自然保护区为对象,选取对林区生境影响较大的6种环境因子:树种类型、树种平均年龄、胸径、坡度、海拔以及郁闭度,使用层次分析法(AHP)进行权重分析,相对权重依次为0.296、0.235、0.163、0.085、0.076、0.145。将因子进行叠加构建出生境适宜性指数(HSI)评价模型,并对研究区的生境适宜性进行评价。在此基础上采用ArcGIS的水文分析模块模拟动物潜在的活动路径与道路叠加,从而确定合适的动物通道位置。结果表明,HSI较高的区域多集中在自然保护区中部高海拔地区与缓坡地带,植被主要以天然阔叶林为主,树种的平均年龄大,覆盖面积广,郁闭度高,能够为大中型的走兽提供较好的觅食、隐蔽、繁殖场所,结合量化出的动物活动路径,得到2处动物通道的理想位置。此经HSI模型模拟出的路线只能是一种大概率情况,所建议的通道建设完成后,还需进行持续的野生动物利用情况监测,以评估通道的有效性,进而进行有针对性的改造设计,直到野生动物通道的利用效果良好。对于所得到的动物活动路径,不仅可以为动物通道选址提供参考,也可为动物迁移廊道修正、林区择伐等提供科学依据。     

大岗山人工针阔混交林与常绿阔叶林水文动态变化研究

采用定位观测方法与水集水区试验技术方法，利用1-6月份艰测数据，从土壤水分、坡面径流、集水区径流量等方面对大岗山地区人工针阔混交林、天然常绿阔叶林典型森林集水区的森林水文动态变化规律进行了研究。结果表明：⑴人工针阔混交林森林土壤水分量大值（51.8mm）出现在5月份，最小值（33.2mm）出现在3月份，且垂直变化幅度不大。⑵坡面径流量月变化较大，与一次性降水有密切关系，可用指数式y=0.1266e^0.0502x表示。⑶与人工针阔混交林相比，天然常绿阔叶林具有较强水土保持能力和显著水源涵养作用。     

我国与森林植被和水资源有关的环境问题及研究趋势

我国存在水资源数量不足和时空分布不均、水质下降、水环境恶化、旱涝灾害频繁、水土流失严重等生态环境问题;增加森林植被是解决水资源水环境问题的重要途径,我国正在进行空前大规模的林业生态环境建设,非常需要生态水文学的科学理论和技术支持。已有的森林水文学研究结果存在内容完整性和系统性差、尺度偏小、过程单一、缺乏对森林植被的水分稳定性认识、不能预测森林植被的区域水文影响等不足,还没有形成能有效指导调控林水关系和进行流域水资源管理的成熟理论和技术;未来需要加强的研究重点,包括鼓励跨部门和跨学科的交叉、森林植被的耗水特性和水分稳定性、森林水文作用的形成机理及其尺度效应和尺度转换、森林植被对区域水文影响的预测和评价、森林对水质的影响及作为重要水源保护区和流域水资源管理途径的森林植被建设技术等。     

Inhibiting soil loss and runoff from small plots induced by an individual freeze-thaw cycle using three rangeland species

This study investigated the role of three rangeland species viz. Agropyron trichophorum, Medicago sativa, and Lolium prenne on mitigating of effects of a freeze-thaw (FT) cycle on runoff generation and soil loss from small experimental plots. Small plots (0.5 × 0.5m) were prepared in three replicates for control (i.e., under a FT cycle only) and treatments (i.e., individually planted with the study species and subject to a FT cycle). The treated plots were then placed at a slope of 20% and subjected to simulated rainfall with intensity of 70 mm h⁻¹ and 30 min duration. The results of the study showed a significant effect (P < 0.05) of the plants on controlling runoff and soil loss after a FT cycle. Also, the detrimental effects of the FT cycle due to performance of ice lenses and formation of an active melting layer in the soil surface were ameliorated by the presence of litter on the soil and root-binding effect of the plants. Time to runoff increased by 54, 111 and 10%, runoff volume decreased by 27, 68 and 0.4% and soil loss changed by −34, −62, and +6.5% in the plots planted with A. trichophorum, L. prenne and M. sativa, respectively. The results of the current study indicated that L. prenne had the maximum benefit on reducing runoff and soil loss from the plots undergoing a FT cycle.     

Morphological variability of Atlantic salmon Salmo salar and brown trout Salmo trutta in different river environments

Abstract – The morphologies of sympatric juvenile Atlantic salmon Salmo salar parr and brown trout Salmo trutta parr were compared between Irish rivers with contrasting hydraulic environments – a high‐gradient and a low‐gradient tributary from the River Barrow catchment, south‐east Ireland and a high‐gradient river from the Burrishoole catchment, west of Ireland. The two catchments differ markedly in mean annual precipitation (849.0 mm year^?1 and 1370.3 mm year^?1 for the Barrow and Burrishoole catchments, respectively). Parr of both species demonstrated morphological variation between and within catchments. Changes in metrics such as pectoral fin length, body depth and body length between and within catchments suggest that hydraulic forces were a major determinant of morphological variation. Both species from the Burrishoole catchment had relatively larger pectoral fins, longer heads, larger eyes and shallower bodies than conspecifics from the Barrow catchment. In rivers subject to frequent rainfall‐driven high discharges, such as those in the Burrishoole catchment, a more fusiform body and head shape coupled with larger pectoral fins may reduce the energetic cost of maintaining position in the water column, as well as increase stability and manoeuvrability. The larger eyes in both parr species in the Burrishoole catchment could further be a response to the lower visibility of the more turbid and peat‐stained waters or to the reduced prey availability. The results of this study demonstrate that local adaptation to flow conditions can yield morphologically distinct populations and that multiple species can exhibit parallel phenotypic responses to changing environmental conditions.     

Microphytic crusts,shrub patches and water harvesting in the Negev Desert: the Shikim system

Human-made contour banks are a central component of theShikim water harvesting system in Israels Negev Desert.Efficient water capture depends on the presence of a stable microphytic crustwhich directs surplus surface runoff into the banks where it is stored. We usedsimulated rainfall to examine the impact of soil surface disturbance on runoffand sediment transport, and the effect of this on the efficiency of resourcecapture within the Shikim system. Two disturbance regimes:1) removal of the microphytic crust only, and 2) removal of the crust and shrubpatches by cultivation, were compared with an undisturbed control. In theundisturbed state, 32% of rainfall was redistributed as runoff. This runoffpenetrated approximately 27% deeper under the shrub patches compared with themicrophytic crust. When the microphytic crust was destroyed by simulatedtrampling, the runoff coefficient declined to 13%, and there was no significantdifference in water penetration between shrub and crust patches. Completedestruction of the shrub hummocks and crust by cultivation resulted in adeclinein the runoff coefficient to 6%. The result of sustained disturbance in thesepatchy Negev shrublands is a breakdown in spatial heterogeneity, a loss ofecosystem function, a reduction in ecosystem goods and services such as plantdiversity and production, and ultimately a reduction in pastoral productivity.These results reinforce the view that microphytic crusts are critical for theefficient operation of the Shikim water harvesting system.Given that practices such as cultivation and trampling which disturbmicrophyticcrusts result in enhanced infiltration, crusts should be left intact tomaximisethe water harvesting efficiency in these desert landscapes.This revised version was published online in May 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.

Nutrient dynamics in a mangrove creek (North Brazil) during the dry season

During the dry season, dissolved inorganic nutrients and organic carbon (DOC) in a mangrove tidal creek (Bragança, North Brazil) presented a clear tidal signature: silicate, phosphate, ammonium and DOC covaried with salinity, with minima at high tide and maxima at low tide. Hydrodynamical calculations explained most diel variability as dilution of nutrientrich groundwater input by estuarine water. Creek nutrients tended to lower concentrations towards the end of the dry season, probably due to changes in groundwater dynamics. Ammonium was about 44% higher in the night than during the day, while silicate, phosphate nitrate + nitrite showed differences < 5%, indicating preferential autotrophic uptake of ammonium as nitrogen source. Nitrification and/or nitrogen fixation are probably sources of nitrate + nitrite, which contributed only 12% to the dissolved inorganic nitrogen pool. Dissolved oxygen (7%) and DOC (11%) were lower during the night, suggesting the existence of a labile, algalderived DOC pool. There is a loose coupling between aquatic primary production, groundwater dynamics and tidal regime.
