A novel approach to studying the effects of temperature on soil biogeochemistry using a thermal gradient bar

The temperature dependence of chemical reaction rates and microbial metabolism mean that temperature is a key factor regulating soil trace gas emissions and hydrochemistry. Here we evaluated a novel approach for studying the thermal response of soils, by examining the effects of temperature on gas emissions and hydrochemistry in (a) peat and (b) soil from a Sitka spruce plantation. A thermal gradient was applied along an aluminium bar, allowing soil to be incubated contemporaneously from 2 to 18 °C. The approach demonstrated clear differences in the biogeochemical responses of the two soil types to warming. The peat showed no significant emission of CH₄ at temperatures below 6 °C, while above 6 °C, a marked increase in the rate of release was apparent up to 15 °C (Q₁₀ = 2.5) with emissions being similar between 15 and 18 °C. Conversely, CH₄ emissions from the forest soil did not respond to warming. Nitrate availability in the peat decreased by 90% between 2 and 18 °C (P < 0.01), whereas concentrations in the forest soil did not respond. Sulphate availability in the peat decreased significantly with warming (60%, P < 0.01), while the forest soil showed the opposite response (a 30% increase, P < 0.01). Conventionally, thermal responses are studied by incubating individual soil samples at different temperatures, involving lengthy preparation and facilities to incubate samples at different temperatures simultaneously. Data collected on a given thermal response is usually limited and thus interpolated or extrapolated. The thermal gradient method overcomes these problems, is simple and flexible, and can be adapted for a wide range of sample types (not confined to soil). Such apparatus may prove useful in the optimization of management practices to mitigate the effects of climate change, as thermal responses will differ depending on land use and soil type.

农田灌溉模式下塔里木河流域地下水水位的变化分析──以塔里木河上游为例

根据1997、2000年的监测资料,分析了塔里木河上游地下水水位的时空变化,反映了不同的土地利用方式对地下水水位的影响。在农田灌溉模式下,在垂直河道方向上地下水水位的变化受到塔里木河干流水位、农田灌溉和潜水蒸发的影响。沿河道的横切方向上地下水位的变化与距河道距离成正相关,但具有明显的滞后反应,其滞后时间随垂直河道的距离增加而增加。干流水位明显影响地下水的范围为3.5km。农田灌水使地下水水位在3、11月份明显抬升,也在7月份时对地下水水位产生影响,使其抬升。潜水蒸发量随地下水水位的升高而增加,使地下水水位变化趋于缓和。

基于博弈论的农户土地利用行为研究——以陕西省米脂县孟岔村为例

以米脂县孟岔村为研究对象,通过设计农户问卷,将研究区农户划分为种粮农户、打工农户、种果农户、种粮兼顾打工农户等四大类,并利用GIS、GPS技术将土地利用的空间信息和农户微观主体的社会经济行为与特征联系起来.随后使用完全信息静态博弈,建立了不同类型农户的两两博弈关系模型,通过模型分析得出: (1) 农户以自身利益最大化为决策目标,并考虑了其他农户的决策行为对其产生的影响,孟岔村最终形成了"少数农户承包旱地经营果园,部分农户承包水浇地,部分农户完全脱离土地外出打工,大部分农户农忙时种粮和农闲时打工"的土地利用和家庭经营模式;(2) 上述土地利用模式使研究区域土壤侵蚀量有了明显的降低并有效地增加了农户的收入.

Chemical changes of kenaf core binderless boards during hot pressing (I): influence of the pressing temperature condition

Self-bonding is the main factor of the performance expression of binderless boards, and therefore its clarification is considered to be an important issue. For this purpose, a series of chemical analyses were conducted on kenaf core binderless boards and their chemical changes during the hot-pressing process are discussed in this article. First of all, binderless boards were prepared from kenaf core powder at different pressing temperatures (without steam-explosion process) and were used for chemical analyses after they were reduced into powders and extracted with methanol. To investigate their chemical changes, lignin, holocellulose, and neutral sugar contents were determined, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra were recorded, and the nitrobenzene oxidation procedure was applied. As a result, it was found that parts of lignin and hemicelullose were decomposed during the hot-pressing process; however, the contribution of the resulting fractions to selfbonding was not observed. In addition, progress of condensation reactions in lignin and the formation of chemical bonds by low molecular weight conjugated carbonyl compounds in methanol extractives were observed. Thermal softening of lignin is also suggested to play an important role in the expression of board performance.

黄土丘陵沟壑区县域气候生产力对气候变化的响应——以陕北米脂县为例

根据米脂县1971-2004年气象资料,利用Thomthwaite Memoria模型,在分析该县气候变化趋势的基础上,计算并预测了气候生产力对气候变化的响应。结果表明:年平均气温以0.045℃/a的速率递增,远大于全国同期增温速度,20世纪90年代为近34年来最暖期,且冬季气温升高(变暖)对年平均气温升高(变暖)贡献最大;年降水量递减率为-0.248 mm/a,夏季递减速率远大于冬季;气候生产力与年降水量增减变化步调一致,但变化趋势却相反,且该县年降水量对气候生产力的影响程度远大于气温的影响,气候暖干化致使气候生产力利用率仅为21.44%;"冷湿型"气候对该县农作物生产有利,公顷产量将增加4.66%,"暖干型"气候对农作物生产不利,气候生产力将减少17.12%。
