1981—2012年黄土高原植被覆盖度时空变化特征 总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3
植被覆盖度是反映植被覆盖状况最直接的指标。基于1981—2012年的MODIS影像,采用像元二分模型反演黄土高原植被覆盖度,分析了黄土高原各省区、典型流域及土壤侵蚀类型区生长季(5—10月)的植被覆盖度时空动态变化。结果表明:1981—2012年期间,黄土高原生长季植被覆盖度由31%增加到50%,呈显著上升趋势,但各区域增长幅度不同。2001年之前,黄土高原植被覆盖度平均为36%,年际间以小幅波动为主;之后,该区生长季年平均植被覆盖度为41%,年际间呈显著增加趋势。按省区,河南省植被覆盖度增幅最大,陕西省次之,内蒙古、宁夏增幅不明显且覆盖度在20%左右波动。按典型流域,延河流域增幅最大,窟野河流域增幅最小。按土壤侵蚀类型,水力侵蚀区植被覆盖度增长较快,风力侵蚀区则变化不明显。按植被覆盖度构成,低覆盖度面积比例减少,高覆盖度面积比例增加,其中黄土高原丘陵沟壑区植被覆盖度增加趋势最为明显,植被恢复成效显著。 相似文献

[目的]退耕还林还草工程实施以来,陕西省植被覆盖度明显提高。然而,省级尺度上植被覆盖度的增加一定程度上掩盖了部分市、县级区域植被覆盖度下降的实事,当前迫切需要加强对不同空间尺度植被覆盖变化及其驱动因素的研究。[方法]基于MODIS NDVI数据计算了陕西省植被覆盖度,分析了2000—2020年陕西省、地区、市和县四级尺度植被覆盖度时空变化趋势。[结果]2000—2020年陕西省植被平均覆盖度为64.3%±2.1%,增长率为0.24%/a;陕北植被覆盖度平均为37.6%±4.4%,增长率为0.63%/a;陕南植被覆盖度平均为89.6%±1.2%,增长率为0.13%/a;关中植被覆盖度平均为70.6%±3.5%,下降率为-0.18%/a。延安市、榆林市、铜川市、宝鸡市、安康市、商洛市的植被覆盖度呈持续增加趋势,而西安市、渭南市、咸阳市和汉中市的植被覆盖度呈先增加后下降趋势;全省有72.3%的区县植被覆盖度呈增加趋势,有22.3%的区县植被覆盖度变化方向与所在市相反。在不同空间尺度上,陕西省植被覆盖度增速均表现为2000—2010年高于2010—2020年,这与两个时期的造林面积差异有关。[... 相似文献

采用GIS技术与地统计方法,基于黄土高原2000—2018年的MODIS遥感影像,选取归一化植被指数探讨研究区植被时空变化特征,采用相似生境法预测黄土高原植被恢复潜力。结果表明:黄土高原2000—2018年低植被盖度区域面积减少,高植被覆盖度面积不断增加。黄河中游头道拐至龙门区间植被变化最为显著,平均增长速率为0.015~0.050/a,其中,延河上游、清涧河及秃尾河流域的植被盖度增长速率最高,均超过了0.015/a。受城市化影响,汾渭平原的下游干流区植被盖度显著降低。相似生境法预测黄土高原未来植被恢复潜力的空间差异性显著,东南部地区植被盖度接近或达到最大恢复潜力,无恢复空间;在丘陵沟壑区和风沙区的交错地带部分地区植被盖度较现状仍有25%~50%的提升潜力。由于黄土高原植被受退耕还林草工程影响,人工植被干扰强烈,受到该区降雨与水分承载力限制,未来植被恢复需调整植被类型、优化植被结构与格局,提升区域生态系统功能。本研究结果可为黄土高原未来植被恢复与水土保持规划与布局提供理论与方法支撑。 相似文献

Staff members of the Department of Botany of Palacký University in Olomouc and Gene Bank Department – Workplace Olomouc, Research Institute of Crop Production in Prague, Czech Republic, conducted an expedition in seven European countries (Austria, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Switzerland) in August/September 1999 to collect wild Lactuca spp. germplasm and study its geographic distribution, ecology and biodiversity. During the mission, more than 600 locations were visited resulting in the collection of 602 seed samples (accessions) of wild Lactuca species and 13 seed samples of related genera (Chondrilla and Mycelis). Lactuca serriola f. serriola, L. serriola f. integrifolia, L. saligna and L. viminea subsp. chondrilliflora were prevalent in southern Europe (Italy, France), however, only L. serriola was common in central and western Europe (Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland). The greatest diversity of Lactuca species was found in France, where also the most seed samples (165) were collected. The most characteristic habitats with a high density of Lactuca spp. populations were observed along roads and highways, grassy ditches, ruderal communities, and dust-heaps. Natural infections by powdery mildew (Erysiphe cichoracearum) and downy mildew (Bremia lactucae) on some wild Lactuca spp. were observed. Recent observations concerning the geographic distribution, population structure, habitats, and natural occurrence of diseases of Lactuca spp. are discussed. This assemblage of genetic resources of Lactuca spp. can serve as the basis of future studies of species diversification, spatial population structure, plant microevolution, domestication processes, and genetic variability of host-parasite interactions. 相似文献

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is a new technique for the analysis of plant material. This study investigates the application of LIBS to pasture-based plant samples. The LIBS measurements were obtained from pelletized pasture samples (100 samples) that had been also analyzed by inductively coupled plasma–optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) following microwave digestion for calibration and comparison purposes. Comparisons for elements sodium (Na), potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), boron (B), phosphorus (P), and sulfur (S) showed that LIBS could be used for almost all the standard profile total elements with concentrations down to low mg/kg levels (observed error of Na: 0.024 percent, K: 0.18 percent, Mg: 0.016 percent, Ca: 0.073 percent, P: 0.017 percent, Mn: 31 mg/kg, Fe: 150 mg/kg, Zn: 6.6 mg/kg, and B: 1.1 mg/kg). Elemental analysis at less than mg/kg levels was not possible using LIBS. The elements S and Cu were particularly difficult to analyze with reliability using LIBS at the concentration levels found in the plant samples. Replacing microwave digestion and subsequent ICP analysis with a direct analysis of dried plant samples using LIBS has the potential to improve the productivity and reduce the cost of testing. 相似文献

We have studied the effect of anaerobically digested (ADMSW) and composted municipal solid waste (CMSW) on mineralization
and foodweb dynamics to verify the hypothesis that ADMSW would immobilize N right after addition to soil in contrast to addition
with CMSW. Another hypothesis was that the mesofauna (enchytraeids and microarthropods) would stimulate N release from the
decomposer community. We measured excretion of -N and urea-N from the mesofauna and hypothesized that enchytraeids would release urea. ADMSW and CMSW were amended to pots
with sandy loam and barley. The pots were divided into treatments with or without mesofauna. Mesofauna, plant N and biomass,
soil N and ergosterol (fungal biomass) were measured over a 113-day period of four equidistant samplings. Soil respiration,
N mineralization and N release by the mesofauna were modelled from concurrent studies. ADMSW- and CMSW-treated soils initially
(<20 days) immobilized N. The amendments did not increase plant growth substantially, and this was probably due to N-limitation
in the early stages of plant growth. Enchytraeid abundance was about three times higher in ADMSW- than CMSW-treated soils,
indicating that ADMSW contained more labile compounds, bacteria, and microfauna. The mesofauna did not affect N-content, but
the cumulated -N excreted by the mesofauna was estimated to be substantial and about one-fifth of total plant N in ADMSW. An explanation
for this discrepancy might be that in the absence of the mesofauna, other members of the detrivore and microbivore community
performed the mesofauna’s function. Neither enchytraeids nor microarthropods excreted urea. 相似文献

“Wicked” problems are those that are complex and that change when solutions are applied. Many conflicts in conservation fall into this category. The study approached the problem of how to constrain the apparent wickedness of a problem in the conservation management of a species by using simple empirical indicators to carry out iterative assessment of the risk to a population and to document how this risk evolves in relation to the addition of new data and the implementation of management actions. Effects of high levels of uncertainty within data and also concerning population structure were examined through stochastic simulation and by exploration of scenarios. Historical trends in the example used, the Steller sea lion, showed rapid declines in abundance in some regions during the 1980s. The current total population is 130,000-150,000 Steller sea lions through Alaska and British Columbia and this number has been stable since about 1990 in spite of regional differences in population dynamics. Regional differences in the sequence of changes in the number of pups and non-pups, suggested that an internal re-distribution of juveniles could have happened between 1980 and 1990. Current productivity also appears close to the long-term mean. Stochastic population projection using various scenarios showed that, based upon this history, the risk of extinction for the population has declined and is below reasonable thresholds for considering the population to be endangered. The trends in risk suggest that management actions taken since 1990 have probably been effective. Consequently, the conservation management objectives for the Steller sea lion are probably being met. The approach provides a mechanism, based upon experience and scenario analysis, for exploring future policy options and may help to constrain the debate amongst stakeholders about the cost-benefit trade-offs associated with different options. 相似文献

Soil-profile distribution of primary and secondary plant-available nutrients under conventional and no tillage 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Nutrient distributions under no tillage (NT) compared with conventional disk-and-bed tillage (CT) management in the warm, humid region of the southeastern USA need to be assessed so that future placement, quantity, and type of fertilizers can be altered, if necessary, to efficiently match crop demands. We determined soil-profile distributions of pH, N, P, S, K, Ca, Mg, Na, Zn, Fe, Mn, and Cu to a depth of 0.9 m at the end of 8.5 years of continuous CT and NT management on a Weswood silty clay loam (fine, mixed, thermic Fluventic Ustochrept) in southcentral Texas. Most dramatic changes occurred within the 0–0.05 m depth, where soil under NT had lower pH, Fe, and Cu than under CT, but greater P, K, Zn, and Mn. Greater P and K under NT than under CT also occurred below the till-zone (0.15–0.3 m). At a depth of 0–0.3 m, soil under NT contained greater amounts of extractable P, K, Zn, Fe, Mn, and Cu than under CT. Nitrogen fertilization had little effect on nutrient distributions, except resulting in greater extractable K at 0–0.05 m and greater nitrate at 0–0.15 m. Few changes in soil-profile distributions were observed for extractable S, Ca, Mg, and Na. Long-term continuous use of NT on this fine-textured, high-fertility (except for N) soil had no apparent adverse effects on nutrient distributions relative to CT, but enhanced conservation and availability of P, K, Zn, Fe, Mn, and Cu near the soil surface where crop roots proliferate. 相似文献

The responses of tallgrass prairie plant communities and ecosystem processes to fire and grazing are well characterized. However, responses of invertebrate consumer groups, and particularly soil-dwelling organisms, to these disturbances are not well known. At Konza Prairie Biological Station, we sampled soil macroinvertebrates in 1994 and 1999 as part of a long-term experiment designed to examine the effects and interactions of annual fire, mowing, and fertilization (N and P) on prairie soil communities and processes. For nearly all taxa, in both years, responses were characterized by significant treatment interactions, but some general patterns were evident. Introduced European earthworms (Aporrectodea spp. and Octolasion spp.) were most abundant in plots where fire was excluded, and the proportion of the total earthworm community consisting of introduced earthworms was greater in unburned, unmowed, and fertilized plots. Nymphs of two Cicada genera were collected (Cicadetta spp. and Tibicen spp.). Cicadetta nymphs were more abundant in burned plots, but mowing reduced their abundance. Tibicen nymphs were collected almost exclusively from unburned plots. Treatment effects on herbivorous beetle larvae (Scarabaeidae, Elateridae, and Curculionidae) were variable, but nutrient additions (N or P) usually resulted in greater densities, whereas mowing usually resulted in lower densities. Our results suggest that departures from historical disturbance regimes (i.e. frequent fire and grazing) may render soils more susceptible to increased numbers of European earthworms, and that interactions between fire, aboveground biomass removal, and vegetation responses affect the structure and composition of invertebrate communities in tallgrass prairie soils. 相似文献
