PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION OF THE HABITATS OF PRESBYTIS-FRANCOISI AND PRESBYTIS-LEUCOCEPHALUS, WITH NOTES ON THE ACTIVITY PATTERN OF PRESBYTIS-LEUCOCEPHALUS

In this paper the habitat structure and ecology of Presbytis francoisi and Presbytis leucocephalus are compared. Observations were made of the two langur species in areas of southwest Guangxi province in which the langurs occur but are not sympatric. The results showed that the habitat of P. leucocephalus differs from that of P. francoisi and that the habitat in western areas was different from that in eastern areas in terms of vegetation and other criteria. P. francoisi was limited in its distribution to localities at higher altitudes, in contrast to P. leucocephalus. This may be due to human activities such as crop cultivation and logging. With respect to its activity pattern, P. leucocephalus spent 51.8% of its day in the trees and 48.2% on the rocky substrate. The results of this study suggest that Presbytis may best be regarded as a semiarboreal form.

Seasonal patterns of sedimentation and their associations with benthic communities in Xiangxi Bay of the Three Gorges Reservoir, China

Sedimentation variables and benthic community data were collected at seven stations during four seasons in Xiangxi Bay of the Three Gorges Reservoir, China. Summer, the season of highest discharge into the reservoir, was characterized by the extreme sediment loading. The benthic macroinvertebrate community was dominated by oligochaetes across all seasons at most stations. In winter/spring, macroinvertebrate density and richness increased. Correspondence analysis showed that community structure differed among stations at the two ends of the bay in winter and among almost all stations in spring, However, no variable associated with sedimentation appeared to be associated with differences in the community.

High Al-content AlInGaN epilayers with different thicknesses grown on GaN/sapphire templates

We studied the structural and optical properties of high Al-content AlInGaN epilayers with different thicknesses grown on GaN/sapphire templates by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). Direct evidences of the gradual evolution of the content of Al, Ga and In along the growth direction were obtained. When the film thickness was over a certain value, however, the AlInGaN epilayer with constant element contents began to form. These results were also supported by the blue shift and splitting of the photoluminescence (PL) peak. For the thinnest epilayer, the surface was featured with outcrops of threading dislocations (TDs) which suggested a spiral growth mode. With increase in thickness, step-flow growth mode and V-shaped pits were observed, and the steps terminated at the pits. (C) 2008 Elsevier B. V. All rights reserved.

普定县石漠化景观变化分析

以贵州为中心的西南喀斯特山区的石漠化与西北区的沙漠化，是我国实施西部大开发中面临的两大地域性环境问题。贵州地处西南喀斯特腹地，是我国石漠化分布面积最大、危害最严重的省份。加强石漠化研究、加快综合治理，既是西部大开发的战略需求、构建长江和珠江上游生态屏障的重要保证，更是实现西南喀斯特地区经济社会可持续发展的迫切需要。本研究选取普定县后寨河中下游地区，采用遥感影像数据，定量分析了1973-2004年31年间的景观格局变化，并对引起景观变化的误差来源进行了探讨。得出以下结论： (1)研究区水田、旱地始终占据优势地位，构成了以水田、旱地为基质，其它景观类型镶嵌其中的格局。采用景观格局指数方法分析景观格局变化，31年间景观变化不大，表现为有林地面积持续减少，旱地变化较复杂，草地、灌木林地、有林地三者之间双向转化明显。 (2)后寨河流域中下游地区山地众多，本研究将地形坡度分为三类五级：缓坡<10°；中坡包括10°~17.5°；17.5°~25°；25°~35°；陡坡>35°。计算不同坡度等级上景观类型的变化量和面积变化百分比，<10°地形上表现为建成地大面积扩张，达到35.5%，10°~17.5°，17.5°~25°，25°~35°三个坡度级上裸岩面积百分比增加甚至达到10倍以上。中坡、陡坡度上人为的还林还草、毁林毁草活动与自然的生态系统逆向演替并存。 (3)依据Costanza等人对全球不同生态系统类型服务功能价值测算结果的比例关系，分析景观变化的生态效应，后寨河流域中下游地区土地利用生态价值整体属于中等偏低。 (4)Kappa指数系列计算不同空间分辨率的影像解译精度，1973-1987年间景观变化相对较大，因不同空间分辨率影像造成的解译误差、遥感数据处理过程中引入的误差，对景观格局变化结果起到干扰作用。分别计算真实景观表面积与地图投影面积，不同空间分辨率影像的景观类型面积考虑坡度的情况下，与地图投影面积相比，增幅变化不大，表明各期影像空间分辨率对地形起伏造成的误差不明显。不同解译者结果比较显示，误差主要发生在地物边界的确认和类型辨识上。 (5)定性分析土地利用类型划分、遥感影像解译方法选择和景观指数选择引入的误差。尽管遥感数据来源不同、分析方法不同，产生的误差也不同，但最终结果都通过土地利用类型图反映出来。所以当前最现实的可能性是提高遥感数据的分类准确度。 本文基于遥感、地理信息系统，采用景观格局指数分析方法对普定县后寨河流域中下游地区1973-2004年景观变化进行研究；并通过定性定量结合方法，分析景观变化结果的误差来源，对景观格局空间分析的准确性这一热点问题做了一定的探讨。

Summertime community structure of intertidal macrobenthos in Changdao Archipelago, Shandong Province, China

The community structure of intertidal macrobenthos in Changdao Archipelago (north of Shandong Peninsula, between Bohai Bay and the northern Yellow Sea) was examined based on samples collected from 14 stations in five transects in June 2007. Three stations corresponding to high, medium and low tidal areas were set up for each transect. A total of 68 macrobenthic species were found in the research region, most of which belonged to Mollusca and Crustacea. The average abundance and biomass of the macrobenthos was 1383 ind./m(2) and 372.41 g/m(2), respectively. The use of an arbitrary similarity level of 20% resulted in identification of five groups among the 14 stations in the research region. There were remarkable differences in the biomass, abundance and Shannon-Wiener diversity index of the different sediments. Specifically, the order of biomass was rocky shores > gravel > mud-sand > coarse sand > stiff mud, while the order of abundance was rocky shores > coarse sand > mud-sand > gravel > stiff mud, and that of the diversity index was mud-sand > gravel > stiff mud > rocky shores > coarse sand. The above results revealed that the sediment type was the most important factor affecting the structure of the macrobenthic community of the intertidal zone.

Classification of common oysters from North China

Oysters are commonly found on rocky shores along China's northern coast, although there is considerable confusion as to what species they are. To determine the taxonomic status of these oysters, we collected specimens from nine locations north of the Yangtze River and conducted genetic identification using DNA sequences. Fragments from three genes, mitochondrial 165 rRNA, mitochondria! cytochrome oxidase I (COI), and nuclear 285 rRNA, were sequenced in six oysters from each of the nine sites. Phylogenetic analysis of all three gene fragments clearly demonstrated that the small oysters commonly found on intertidal rocks in north China are Crassostrea gigas (Thunberg, 1793), not C. plicatula (the zhe oyster) as widely assumed. Their small size and irregular shell characteristics are reflections of the stressful intertidal environment they live in and not reliable characters for classification. Our study confirms that the oysters from Weifang, referred to as Jinjiang oysters or C. rivularis (Gould, 1861), are C. ariakensis (Wakiya, 1929). We found no evidence for the existence of C. talienwhanensis (Crosse, 1862) and other Crassostrea species in north China. Our study highlights the need for reclassifying oysters of China with molecular data.

油气、微生物与砂岩型铀矿形成关系研究——以东胜铀矿床和钱家店铀矿床为例

Sandstone-type uranium deposits are frequently found close to oil fields or uraniferous sandstones contain bitumen or petroleum. However, few evidence has been presented to indicate the association of uranium mineralization with petroleum oxidation. Thus, Dongsheng uranium deposit in Ordos Basin and Qianjiadian deposit in Kailu Basin are taken for examples to solve the puzzle. Integration data from sedimentary petrology, mineralogy, race elements geochemistry, isotope geochemistry and organic geochemistry, the uranium and petroleum sources, and diagenetic paragenesis of the host sandstone are analyzed, and then the genetic relationship between microbes, petroleum and uranium deposits are discussed. The observation under microscope shows that the host sandstone samples from Middle Jurassic Zhiluo Formation in the Dongsheng deposit contained different kinds of metamorphic rock fragments, which should have been derived form outcrops north to this basin. The LREE/HREE ratios of gneiss and amphibolite sampled from outcrops were close to the highest and the lowest LREE/HREE ratios of the sandstones with well-compared chondrite-normalized REE patterns, respectively. So these results consistently indicated that parent rocks of sandstones were mainly contributed from these two kinds of metamorphic rocks. There was very high Th/U ratio for granite gneiss, which was a mainly potential U resource. Hydrocarbon inclusions and adsorbed hydrocarbons are observed under fluorescence microscope in the host sandstone of Dongsheng uranium deposit, suggesting that the sandstones may have been utilized as oil migration pathways. Based on biomarker parameters, it is indicated that the inclusion oils and adsorbed hydrocarbons were marginally mature to mature, and were derived from humic-sapropel type organic matter under poor reducing freshwater to semi-saline environment. The features are similar to those of organic matter extracted from Triassic sandstone and source rock, but are different from that of cretaceous sandstone. Thus, it can be concluded that the inclusion oils and adsorbed hydrocarbons were mainly derived from Triassic lacustrine facies source rock. Observation results under Scanning Electron Microscopy and Electron Microprobe with Energy Spectrum Analysis show that, in Dongsheng area, the main uranium ore mineral is coffinite. The coffinite is intimately intergrown or coexists with pyrite and calcite, thus, the solution during mineralization stage is inferred to be alkaline. The alkaline environment is not favored for uranium to be pre-concentrated by absorption, and then be reduced abiogenetically. δ34S of pyrite and δ13C of calcite indicate that pyrite was formed by bacterial sulfate reduction (BSR) and part of the carbon of calcite has been dirived from oxidation of petroleum, respectively. Additionally, petroleum is found biodegraded. All the lines of evidence consistently indicate that petroleum was involved in uranium mineralization. Coffinite with microbe-like structures is found in the high U sandstone samples and is composed of nanoparticles, indicating the coffinite is biogenic. The conclusion are also supportted by laboratory experiment studies, which have shown that SRB are capable of utilizing U(VI) as the preferred electron acceptor for respiration and reduce U(VI) to U(IV) directly, coupled the oxidaton of organic matter and sulfate reduction. Based on the research results mentioned above, in the Dongsheng area, coffinite is likely to have formed by mixing of brine containing petroleum derived from Triassic with uranium-bearing meteoric water from outcrops north to Ordos Basin. SRB utilize hydrocarbon as carbon source, and directly reduce U(VI) resulting in precipitation of coffinite. The product of metabolism, H2S and CO2, was precipitated as pyrite and calcite during mineralization stage. Petroleum in fluid inclusions and adsorbed type in host sandstone from Lower Cretaceous Yaojia Formation in Qianjiadian uranium deposit, Kailu Basin, are derived from Jurassic Jiufotang Formation in this basin and the uranium mineral consists mainly of pitchblende. The δ34S and δ13C values of pyrite and calcite during mineralization stage indicate SRB have likely degraded petroleum, which is similar to that of Dongsheng deposit. The alkaline environment as indicated by the diagenetic mineral assemblage calcite, Fe dolomite, pyrite and pitchblende deposit suggests that U ore in the Qiangjiajiadian has a similar origin, i.e., direct reduction by SRB. However, less part of pitchblende is intergrown with kaolinite, suggesting the solution during mineralization stage is acidic. The environment is favorable for U(VI) to be adsorded on quartz or other mineral, and then reduced by H2S produced by SRB. Thus, it can be concluded that U(VI) reduction with petroleum oxidation by SRB and other microbes is an important ore-forming mechanism in petroleum-related sandstone-type uranium deposits. The finding is significant in that it provides a theoretical basis for exploration of both uranium and petroleumr.

柴达木盆地北缘西段油气运聚动力学研究

Hydrocarbon migration and accumulation are the important process to form reservoirs in sedimentary basins, and their researches are usually very difficult to be done in petroleum geology. In this paper, the west segment of northern margin of the Qaidam Basin was selected as study area. The concept of fault open coefficient, that combines multi-factors dealing with fault sealing, was applied to estimate semi-quantitatively the sealing characteristics of six faults which were considered controlling the hydrocarbon migration and accumulation. The data from boreholes were investigated to appraise the permeable characteristics of lithology combinations upon and beneath the unconformity surface. The result suggests that the basal conglomerates consist frequently the carriers. The data from boreholes and outcrops were collected to describe the sand carrier system. In order to eliminate the influence of inverse activities of the basin that made the formations be very steep, author adopts the phase method to build the basin models: for the steps before Pliocene the recovered true thickness maps were used to build the basin block; for the steps after Pliocene, the structure maps of today were used to build the basin block. During the modeling process, the results were calibrated by various measured data . the modeled results includes the dynamic evolvement course of trap form phase, vitrinite reflectance mature, the source rock expelled hydrocarbon intensity and fluid potential and petroleum plays. Author integrates the source rock expelled hydrocarbon intensity, fluid potential and carrier system and apply the migration technology based on percolation theory to simulate the oil and gas migration and accumulation course in the main accumulation times. The dominant pathways of oil and gas may show clearly the prospect distribution. Based on the hydrocarbon migration characteristics, the main control factors were synthesized, that including the effective source rock distribution, the match relationship of structural trap forming and hydrocarbon expelling from source rocks, the unconformity of Mesozoic and Cenozoic, the structures and the faults movement at Quaternary Finally, the author figures out the prospect plays in the study area.

准噶尔盆地南缘台13井区侏罗系油藏表征与建模

Junggar Basin has a large amount of recoverable reserves, However, due to the unfavorable factors, such as bad seismic data quality, complex structure with many faults and less wells, the exploration of oil and gas is still relatively limited, so advanced theoretical guidance and effective technical supports are desirable. Based on the theories of sedimentology, as well as comprehensive studies of outcrops, seismic data, drilling data and setting of this area, the paper establishes the isochronous correlation framework, and analyzes the sedimentary facies types and provenance direction, and obtains the profile and plain maps of the sedimentary facies combined with the logging constrained inversion. Then the paper analyzes the reservoir controlling factors, reservoir lithology attribute, 4-property relationship and sensibility based on the sedimentary facies research, and sets up a 3D geological model using facies controlled modeling. Finally, the paper optimizes some target areas with the conclusions of reservoir, structure and reservoir formation.Firstly, the paper establishs the isochronous correlation framework by the seismic data, drilling data and setting of this area. The sedimentary facies in Tai13 well block are braided river and meandering river according to the analysis of the lithology attribute, logging facies and sedimentary structure attribute of outcrop. The concept of “wetland” is put forward for the first time. The provenance direction of Badaowan and Qigu formation is obtained by the geology setting, sedimentary setting and paleocurrent direction. The paper obtains the profile and plain maps of the sedimentary facies from the sand value of the wells and the sand thickness maps from the logging constrained inversion. Then, this paper takes characteristics and control factors of the Jurassic reservoirs analysis on thin section observation, scanning transmission electron microscope observation and find out the petrology characteristics of reservoir, space types of reservoir and lithofacies division. In this area, primary pores dominate in the reservoir pores, which believed that sedimentation played the most important roles of the reservoir quality and diagenesis is the minor factor influencing secondary porosity. Using stochastic modeling technique，the paper builds quantitative 3-D reservoir Parameter. Finally, combined the study of structure and reservoir formation, the reservoir distribution regularity is concluded: (a) structures control the reservoir formation and accumulation. (b) Locating in the favorable sedimentary facies belt. And the area which meets these conditions mentioned above is a good destination for exploration.

塔里木地块奥陶纪古地磁新结果及其构造意义

The Tarim Block is located between the Tianshan Mountains in the north and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in the south and is one of three major Precambrian cratonic blocks of China. Obviously, the Paleozoic paleogeographic position and tectonic evolution for the Tarim Block are very important not only for the study of the formation and evolution of the Altaids, but also for the investigation of the distributions of Paleozoic marine oil and gas in the Tarim Basin. According to the distributions of Paleozoic strata and suface outcrops in the Tarim Block, the Aksu-Keping-Bachu area in the northwestern part of the Tarim Block were selected for Ordovician paleomagnetic studies. A total of 432 drill-core samples form 44 sampling sites were collected and the samples comprise mainly limestones, argillaceous limestones and argillaceous sandstones Based on systematic study of rock magnetism and paleomagnetism, all the samples could be divided into two types: the predominant magnetic minerals of the first type are hematite and subordinate magnetite. For the specimens from this type, characteristic remanent magnetization (ChRM) could generally be isolated by demagnetization temperatures larger than 600℃; we assigned this ChRM as component A; whilst magnetite is the predominant magnetic mineral of the second type; progressive demagnetization yielded another ChRM (component B) with unblocking temperatures of 550-570℃. The component A obtained from the majority of Ordovician specimens has dual polarity and a negative fold test result; we interpreted it as a remagnetization component acquired during the Cenozoic period. The component B can only be isolated from some Middle-Late Ordovician specimens with unique normal polarity, and has a positive fold test result at 95% confidence. The corresponding paleomagnetic pole of this characteristic component is at 40.7°S, 183.3°E with dp/dm = 4.8°/6.9° and is in great difference with the available post-Late Paleozoic paleopoles for the Tarim Block, indicating that the characteristic component B could be primary magnetization acquired in the formation of the rocks. The new Ordovician paleomagnetic result shows that the Tarim Block was located in the low- to intermediate- latitude regions of the Southern Hemisphere during the Middle-Late Ordovician period, and is very likely to situate, together with the South China Block, in the western margin of the Australian-Antarctic continents of East Gondwana. However, it may have experienced a large northward drift and clockwise rotation after the Middle-Late Ordovician period, which resulted in the separation of the Tarim Block from the East Gondwanaland and subsequent crossing of the paleo-equator; by the Late Carboniferous period the Tarim Block may have accreted to the southern margin of the Altaids.

西秦岭晚古生代弧前盆地沉积与成矿作用

The Western Qinling Orogenie belt in the Taibai-Fengxian and Xihe-Lixian areas can be subdivided into three units structurally from north to south, which are the island-arc, forearc basin and accretionary wedge, respectively. The forearc basin developed in the Late Paleozoic mainly controls sedimentation and some larger lead-zinc and gold deposits in the western Qinling. Stratigraphically, the island arc is dissected into the Liziyuan Group, the Danfeng Group and the Luohansi Group. The metavolcanic rocks include basic, intermediate and acidic rocks, and their geochemistry demonstrates that these igneous rocks generated in an island arc. Where, the basalts are subalkaline series charactered by low-medium potassium, with enriched LREE, negative Eu anomaly, and positive Nd anomaly. Cr-content of volcanic rocks is 2-3 times higher than that of island arc tholeiite all over the world. In addition, the lightly metamorphosed accretionary wedge in the areas of Huixian, Chengxian, Liuba and Shiqun is dominated by terrigenous sediments with carbonatite, chert, mafic and volcanic rocks. The age of the wedge is the Late Palaeozoic to the Trassic, while previous work suggested that it is the Silurian. The Upper Paleozoic between the island arc belt and accretionary wedge are mainly the sediments filled in the fore arc basin. The fillings in the forearc basin were subdivided into the Dacaiotan Group, the Tieshan Group, the Shujiaba Group and the Xihanshui Group, previously. They outcropped along the southern margins of the Liziyuan Group. The Dacaotan Group, the Upper Devonian, is close to the island arc complex, and composed of a suite of red and gray-green thick and coarse terrestrial elastics. The Shujiaba Group, the Mid-Upper Devonian, is located in the middle of the basin, is mainly fine-grained elastics with a few intercalations of limestone. The Xihanshui Group, which distributes in the southern of the basin, is mainly slates, phyllites and sandstones with carbonatite and reef blocks. The Tieshan Group, the Upper Devonian, just outcrops in the southwest of the basin, is carbonatite and clastic rocks, and deposited in the shallow -sea environment. The faults in the basin are mainly NW trend. The sedimentary characteristics, slump folds, biological assemblages in both sides of and within those faults demonstrate that they were syn-sedimentary faults with multi-period activities. They separated the forearc basin into several sub-basins, which imbricate in the background of a forearc basin with sedimentary characteristics of the piggyback basin. The deep hydrothermal fluid erupted along the syn-sedimentary faults, supported nutrition and energy for the reef, and resulted in hydrothermal-sedimentary rocks, reef and lead-zinc deposits along these faults. The sedimentary facies in the basin varies from the continental slope alluvial fan, to shallow-sea reef facies, and then to deep-water from north to south, which implies that there was a continental slope in the Devonian in the west Qinling. The strata overlap to north and to east respectively. Additionally, the coeval sedimentary facies in north and south are significantly different. The elastics become more and more coarser to north in the basin as well as upward coarsing. These features indicate prograding fillings followed by overlaps of the different fans underwater. The paleocurrent analyses show that the forearc basin is composed of thrust-ramp-basins and deep-water basins. The provenance of the fillings in the basin is the island arc in the north. The lead-zinc deposits were synchronous with the Xihanshui Group in the early stage of development of the forearc basin. They were strongly constrained by syn-sedimentary faults and then modified by the hydrothermal fluids. The gold deposits distributed in the north of the basin resulted from the tectonic activities and magmatism in the later stage of the basin evolution, and occurred at the top of the lead-zinc deposits spatially. The scales of lead-zinc deposits in the south of the basin are larger than that of the gold-deposits. The Pb-Zn deposits in the west of the basin are larger than those in the east, while the Gold deposits in the west of the basin are smaller than those in the east. Mineralizing ages of these deposits become younger and younger to west.

基于RS和GIS的喀斯特石漠化驱动机制分析——以广西都安瑶族自治县为例

喀斯特石漠化( Karst Rocky Desertification , KRD) 是指喀斯特区地表出现类似荒漠景观的土地退化过程。采用RS 和GIS 技术,对都安喀斯特石漠化程度分级状况与驱动因素进行全面调查,建立全县1∶1 0 万喀斯特石漠化数据库。利用相关分析、因子分析和回归分析等方法,分析导致石漠化的影响因子,即喀斯特石漠化的重要驱动力,建立了喀斯特石漠化动力指数模型,算出了各因子对石漠化的贡献值,指出石漠化产生的主导原因是不合理的人为活动。所建的动力指数模型输出结果与遥感调查有相对一致性,表明石漠化动力指数能较好地反映该地区石漠化过程,可为喀斯特石漠化治理提供理论依据。

喀斯特石漠化景观的空间因子分析及生态优化途径初探——以贵州清镇王家寨小流域为例

本文以西南喀斯特地区的王家寨小流域为研究对象，基于多源信息，依托遥感（RS）和地理信息系统（GIS）技术获取2005年该区石漠化景观分布格局信息，以此为基础进行石漠化景观分布指数（RLDI）、石漠化综合指数（RCI）、x-s平面分析模型以及三次曲线拟合等分析，旨在从小流域尺度上探讨石漠化景观在坡度、坡向、高程和与村庄距离等空间因子上的分布规律。 结果表明：无石漠化和轻度石漠化景观的RLDI曲线在坡度梯度上波动最显著（即其受坡度影响最大）；其他石漠化景观在坡向梯度上变化最明显。坡度上27º是RCI由增至减的临界点；各坡向中南、南东坡RCI值最高，北、北东、东坡次之；高程越高RCI越高；距村庄越远RCI越高。初步判断各空间因子对RCI的影响由强至弱依次为：坡度、坡向、高程以及与村庄的距离。 基于景观生态学理论，在对土地利用类型和地形（坡度、坡向）因子综合优先级评价的基础上，以治理石漠化、维护喀斯特景观生态安全和土地资源的可持续利用为目标，建立满足景观优化需要的生态恢复耗费表面模型，通过景观功能分区和生态廊道的构建，以及运用生态工程和植被进展演替相结合的具体措施，对小流域尺度上土地利用空间格局的优化和高效的生态恢复模式进行实践性探索。

喀斯特石漠化区植物水分利用的时空变化研究----以贵州清镇王家寨小流域为例

本研究以西南喀斯特地区的王家寨小流域为研究对象，以植物叶片δ13C值为植物水分利用效率的指示值，结合利用氢氧同位素对植物的水分来源进行确认，通过研究小流域中不同土壤类型石漠化样地、不同季节、不同等级石漠化样地及喀斯特不同小生境中常见植物种水分利用效率及水分来源的差异，旨在从小生境、植物种、植物群落等不同尺度上探讨石漠化发生过程对植物长期水分利用的影响，了解不同水源的利用对植物水分利用效率的影响，了解喀斯特生态系统特有生境中植物对水分的竞争和利用策略，以加深对生态系统水分平衡的认识。通过研究，得出了以下几点认识： 1 喀斯特石漠化区植物叶片δ13C值的时空变化 （1）在本研究区，不同土壤类型区域植物群落δ13C值均随着石漠化的进行趋正，方差分析结果显示黄壤序列植物群落叶片δ13C值存在显著差异（F（3，80）0.01=2.720.05)。整个生长季中，常见种叶片δ13C值与土壤含水量的相关关系研究表明大多数种在大多数时间随土壤水分的减少其WUE提高。 （4）本研究区小生境类型主要有石面、石沟、石缝、及土面。各小生境内植物叶片δ13C值基本上随石漠化进行趋正，即小生境尺度上植物叶片δ13C值随石漠化进行趋正。基于石漠化梯度和小生境类别的双因素方差分析表明，生长于不同石漠化等级及不同小生境的植物叶片δ13C 值总体差异显著。土面上生长的植株叶片δ13C值最负，说明较厚的土层、较多的土量能供给植物较为充足的水分、养分，避免或减小了植物的水分胁迫。对各小生境植物叶片δ13C值与各小生境主要环境因子进行相关分析，结果表明植物叶片δ13C值与小生境土壤厚度、0-10cm土壤平均含水量以及日均大气相对湿度呈显著负相关，而与日均光照强度呈显著正相关。 （5）石漠化过程中常见植物种叶片解剖结构中的栅栏组织厚度、上角质层厚度、下角质层厚度、最大导管直径均呈现逐渐增大的趋势，而海绵组织厚度则呈现逐渐减少的趋势，方差分析结果显示各解剖结构均呈现显著性差异（p<0.05）。另外，对叶片解剖结构指标与叶片δ13C值的相关分析表明，所研究的植物种叶片上述解剖形态结构中除下角质层厚度与叶片δ13C值相关关系不显著（p>0.05）外，其余指标均与其叶片δ13C值呈现显著的正相关关系（p<0.05），说明植物的WUE与植物叶片解剖结构的变化存在着内在的相关关系。 2 喀斯特石漠化区植物水分来源的时空变化 （1）由于07年降雨丰富，其喀斯特皮下水显著低于06年，但是06年喀斯特皮下水的季节变化却不大，这是由于06年为特大欠水年，观测期内降雨仅721mm，为正常年份的60%，“活塞效应”不明显。2006年对各等级石漠化样地植物水分来源研究结果表明：（12月）土壤水及小枝木质部水分的δD及δ18O值明显高于夏季（7、9月）。降雨较多的7月，强、中度石漠化大多数植物主要利用土壤水，轻、无石漠化样地植物则利用土壤水和喀斯特皮下水。9月，由于干旱严重，各石漠化样地大多数植物均不同程度的利用了喀斯特皮下水。 （2）对研究区各小生境植物水分来源的研究表明：各小生境土壤水分δD、δ18O各不相同，石缝小生境土壤水分δD、δ18O最负，石面土壤水分δD、δ18O最正，土面、石沟居中。强度石漠化土壤剖面水分δD、δ18O值>中度石漠化样地>轻度石漠化样地>无石漠化样地，显示随着石漠化的进行，样地蒸发越强烈。整体上，石缝中植物比其他生境更容易利用喀斯特皮下水，无石漠化样地的植物比石漠化样地的植物更容易利用喀斯特皮下水，常绿植物比落叶植物利用更多的喀斯特皮下水，乔木比灌木利用更多的喀斯特皮下水。 3 植物稳定性氢氧同位素与碳同位素耦合 通过对研究区植物叶片δ13C值和不同水源和植物木质部δD、δ18O值的测定，结果表明无石漠化样地植物具有更负的δ13C值，即其水分利用效率（WUE）低于石漠化样地，这是由于无石漠化样地喀斯特水赋存的二元结构，植物除了可以利用浅薄土层的水分，还拥有稳定的浅层地下水即喀斯特皮下水，这已通过植物木质部水分δD、δ18O值的测定得到佐证。落叶种具有比常绿种更正的δ13C值，即其水分利用效率（WUE）高于常绿种，这是由于常绿种比较稳定的利用了浅层地下水，具有稳定的水分来源，使得常绿种的水分利用效率（WUE）较低。土面生境植物具有比其他生境更负的δ13C值，是因为较大的土面面积、较厚的土厚，较多的土量提够给植物较多的水分，养分，土壤水分较充足，避免或减少了植物的水分胁迫，植物WUE较低。
