科尔沁沙地小叶锦鸡儿人工固沙群落土壤水分与适宜密度研究

土壤水分是影响半干旱区人工固沙植被生存生长的关键因素。本文依据水量平衡原理，在植物群落层次上探讨沙地水分与植被恢复关系。以科尔沁沙地流沙治理中广泛应用的小叶锦鸡儿群落为研究对象，通过对降水入渗、根系分布和生长、蒸腾速率的研究，分析了不同年龄、密度和坡向的小叶锦鸡儿群落生长季节土壤水分动态和蒸散量，从水分平衡角度探讨在科尔沁沙地西部条件下人工植被建设中的适密度问题。研究结果表明：对于1mx1m密度小叶锦鸡儿人工植被区：随着植被年龄增长，根系分布呈现浅层化趋势，82.25％以上根系分布在O一100cm深度土壤中，浅层土壤截留降水能力增加，降水入渗深度减少，土壤逐步由水分淋溶型转变为非淋溶型；土壤水分含量降低，群落的稳定性下降。对不同年龄、密度、坡向的沙地小叶锦鸡儿群落生长季节土壤水分状况和蒸散量分析表明，1m×1m密度4年生植被区和2m×2m密度19年生植被区土壤含水量高于凋萎湿度，生长末期土壤贮水量有较多节余，土壤水分能够满足植物生长需求。在保证小叶锦鸡儿群落的固沙作用和群落稳定性、土壤水分收支平衡的前提下，科尔沁沙地西部小叶锦鸡儿固沙植被适宜密度为：植被建立初期（1-4年）采用1m×1m密度，成龄后适宜密度为2m×2m。

中国东部沙地物源示踪及地质意义

Heavy mineral assemblages, chemical compositions of diagnostic heavy minerals such as garnet and tourmaline, and U-Pb ages and Hf isotopic compositions of zircons are very effective means to determine sediment provenance. An integrated application of the above provides insight on the lithologies, crystallization ages and crustal formation ages of the parent magma of sediment source areas. As a result, the locations and characteristics of potential source areas can be constrained and contributions of different source regions may be evaluated. In addition, the study provides evidence for the magmatic and tectonic history of source areas using a novel approach. The heavy mineral assemblages, and chemical compositions of detrital garnets and tourmalines, U-Pb ages and Hf isotopic compositions of zircons for sand and loess samples deposited since the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) from the Hulunbeier, Keerqin and Hunshandake sandlands were analyzed and compared to those of central-southern Mongolia, the central Tarim and surrounding potential source areas, the Central Asian Orogenic Belt (CAOB) and North China Craton (NCC). The following remarks on provenance and tectonic history can be made: 1. The source compositional characteristics of the Hulunbeier, Keerqin and Hunshandake sandlands are similar. They are derived from the CAOB and NCC whose contributions for the Keerqin and Hunshandake sandland are about 50%. For the Hulunbeier sandland it is somewhat less, about 40%. 2. Loesses around of the sandlands have the identical source signiture as the sands, implying that they are sorted by the same wind regime. 3. The source characteristics of the present and LGM sands are the same, providing direct evidence that the present sands originated from the reworking of LGM sands. 4. The provenance characteristics of the three sandlands differ from those of the Tarim. As a result, the possibility that the three eastern sandlands were sourced from the Taklimakan desert can be ruled out. 5. The source compositions of sand samples derived from the CAOB indicate that the occurrence of Archean and Paleoproterozoic metamorphic basement rocks is limited and continuous subduction-accretion events from the Neoproterozoic to the Mesozoic occurred. This implies that the CAOB is a orogenic collage belt similar to the present day southwest-Pacific, and formed by the amalgamation of small forearc and backarc ocean basins occurring between island arcs and microcontinents during continuous collision and accretion. The Hf isotopic signitures of detrital zircons indicate that large amounts of juvenile mantle materials were added to the CAOB crust during the Phanerozoic.
