Grass mixtures for afforested opencast spoils in South Wales

An experiment that investigated the establishment of seven grass and legume seed mixes on opencast coal mining spoil in South Wales is described. After three years, mixtures containing Poa pratensis and Festuca rubra var. rubra were the most successful in covering the spoil; the ‘Johnson JR33’ seed mix proved the best of those commercially available that was tested. Tree growth was not detrimentally affected by the establishment of a grass ground cover. Erosion was not an important process at the experimental site, though slumping occurred locally from plough ridge to plough furrow.     

连续模拟降雨下岩溶区含砾石堆积体坡面径流产沙特征

为明确砾石含量对岩溶区石灰土质堆积体坡面径流产沙特征的影响,以土质坡面为对照,采用室内模拟降雨试验方法,研究了递增型降雨(0.5,1.0,2.0,2.5,3.0 mm/min)条件下偏土质(砾石含量30%)和偏石质(砾石含量70%)石灰土坡面的径流特性及侵蚀特征。结果表明:(1)随雨强增大,各坡面径流率呈稳定增长—波动的变化趋势,且土质坡面径流率整体小于2种含砾石坡面;偏土质、偏石质坡面累计产流量较土质坡面增加了0.49,0.37倍;(2)1.0~3.0 mm/min雨强下,土质坡面侵蚀速率在0.16~5.4 g/(m^2·s)范围内波动,整体呈稳定—波动增加的变化趋势;偏土质和偏石质坡面分别为0.16~5.4,0.06~0.74 g/(m^2·s),前者侵蚀速率变化范围大且波动剧烈,后者变化范围小且稳定;随砾石含量的增加,各坡面累计侵蚀量呈先增后减的变化趋势,偏土质坡面侵蚀量较土质坡面增加2.5倍,偏石质坡面较其减少了0.9倍;(3)土质、偏土质和偏石质坡面的侵蚀速率与径流率分别呈极显著正相关幂函数、线性函数和线性函数关系。研究结果可为桂西北岩溶区弃渣场水土流失治理提供一定的科学依据。     

沪蓉西高速公路弃土场渣体侵蚀特征——以宜(昌)至长(阳)段为例

随着我国高速公路的迅速发展，由此形成的水土流失已成为突出的环境问题。为探讨高速公路建设期间弃土场渣体侵蚀规律，在沪蓉西高速公路宜长段Ⅰ标区弃土场布设观测小区进行定位观测和分析研究。结果表明：（1）降雨量与弃土场渣体侵蚀量呈显著的正相关关系。在不考虑影响坡面渣体侵蚀其它因素前提下，随降雨量的增大，渣体侵蚀量逐渐加大。（2）研究区堆渣体沟蚀发生严重，局部坡面渣体侵蚀量高达92848t／km^2。调查发现沟深下切深度基本在40cm以内，受坡面汇水面积影响，从坡上到坡脚，堆渣侵蚀量逐渐加大。     

紫花苜蓿对草炭改良露天矿表土替代材料的响应

为探讨添加草炭对露天矿表土替代材料的改良效果,以紫花苜蓿为试材,草炭为改良剂,研究了草炭添加量分别为0、10、30、50 g·kg-1（干土）与表土替代材料配合施用对紫花苜蓿生长性能及抗逆性能的影响。试验结果显示,添加草炭对紫花苜蓿生长期内的株高、生长率、生物量、叶片SPAD值、叶片的细胞膜透性、超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）活性、过氧化氢酶（CAT）活性、过氧化物酶（POD）活性及可溶性蛋白含量等指标均有显著影响（P<0.05）。草炭施用量为10 g·kg-1（干土）时,紫花苜蓿的株高、生长率、地上及地下部分     

高速公路弃土场的水土流失监测及其生态治理

高速公路弃土场边坡的生态治理是公路建设环境保护的重要内容。在京珠高速公路粤境南段弃土场开展水土流失监测研究,探讨了弃土场的水土流失及其生态治理的水土保持效果。结果表明,弃土场水土流失剧烈,侵蚀模数平均为3.24×10^4t/（km^2·a）,边坡沟蚀现象明显。采用香根草（Vetiveria zizaniodes）生态护坡技术治理弃土场边坡水土流失,水土保持效果显著,坡面土壤流失量比对照小区减少92.24%,边坡稳定,在一定程度上可代替浆砌片石骨架植草护坡措施。因此,高速公路弃土场的水土流失生态治理可大力推广应用香根草生态护坡技术。     

Soil respiration on reclaimed coal-mine spoil

Summary Measurements of soil respiration were made at a number of soil-covered reclaimed coal-mine spoil sites. Many chemical and physical soil factors likely to affect the respiration were also measured. A combination of principal component, cluster, and multiple regression analyses was used to indicate the important factors. These were found to be water-holding capacity and organic matter content. In some cases soil pH was also a controlling factor.     

弃土场侵蚀产沙模拟试验研究

鉴于目前很多学者对弃土场的研究,主要集中在室外天然降雨和人工模拟降雨监测上,而在室外由于受到工程建设时限和其他因素制约,并不能对各影响因素做定性研究的实际,利用室内模拟降雨对弃土场侵蚀产沙过程进行模拟试验研究,寻求侵蚀产沙规律及主要影响因素。试验结果为:弃土坡面侵蚀沟出现时间随降雨强度的增加而缩短;产沙量随降雨强度的增加而增加,但在雨强较小情况下,坡面产沙量最初随降雨的持续而逐渐增加,达到一个峰值后,便开始减少,并趋于稳定,而在大雨强条件下,坡面产沙量随降雨的持续呈波动增加状态,侵蚀量增加较快;在同一降雨强度条件下,坡面产沙量随坡度的增加而增加。     

Phosphorus and iron erosion from non-vegetated sites in a post-mining landscape,Lusatia, Germany: Impact on aborning mining lakes

Particulate phosphorus (P) can be transported via soil erosion in overland flow to waters, where it provides a long-term source of P for aquatic biota, and can accelerate freshwater eutrophication. Hence, knowledge of P sources is important for good environmental management. However, data on P, and related Fe, losses from various structures of a post-mining landscape are lacking. A year-long monitoring, and ten short rainfall simulations on plot scale, at ridges and rills and a combination of them, revealed high erosion from bare lignite mining dumps at Schlabendorf-North, Lusatia, Germany. The mean annual soil erosion rate from the year-long monitoring site was 18 × 10⁶ kg km^− 2 yr^− 1, corresponding to 0.034 g m^− 2 min^− 1. The erosion rates were lowest at rill plots (1.9–4.4 g m^− 2 min^− 1), intermediate at ridge plots (14.3–37.1 g m^− 2 min^− 1), and highest at a combined rill and ridge plot (48.7–63.4 g m^− 2 min^− 1). These differences in extent were due to small scale differences in morphology and extreme water repellency. The hydrophobicity leads to very low infiltration, thus generating surface runoff even at low rainfall intensities. Loss rates of P and Fe, as deduced from the year-long erosion rate, were 470–650 kg km^− 2 yr^− 1, and 37.9 × 10³–71 × 10³ kg km^− 2 yr^− 1 respectively. However, these P inputs from lignite mining dump erosion, consisting of P-poor (17–90 μg g^− 1) tertiary spoil materials, into aborning mining lakes, are negligible since they are accompanied by high Fe inputs, which favour an efficient P co-precipitation in the water column.
