Cacti–shrub interactions in the coastal desert of northern Sinaloa, Mexico     

Alvaro Reyes-Olivas  Edmundo García-Moya  Lauro Lpez&#x;Mata 《Journal of Arid Environments》2002,52(4):431

Spatial patterns and replacement in ten cacti were studied on an island of the coastal desert of Sinaloa, México. Four platyopuntias had 74–92% of their individuals beneath shrub canopies, whereas three globose cacti, one columnar cactus and two cylindropuntias had similar or higher percentages of individuals in open spaces. This study advances the idea that open-space colonization is enhanced by less harsh physical and biotic conditions in coastal deserts, and by certain morphological and physiological adaptations of cacti. The absence of nurse-shrub replacement is understood as a result of induced co-existence by physical damage from cyclones in the coastal zone.  相似文献   

The Space That Race Makes     

David Delaney 《The Professional geographer》2002,54(1):6-14

This essay is a revision of a paper prepared for an NSF workshop on race and geography. Participants in the workshop were asked to offer their views on the topic and our suggestions for further research. This contribution explores some aspects of the relationship and relevance of geography to the question of race in North America. It touches on three “places” that constitute the discipline: the place of research, the place of teaching, and the workplace. With respect to research, it suggests some promising lines of inquiry. Among these are studies of the relationship of scale to the politics of identity and studies of “passing” in connection with studies of geographies of experience and geographies of power.  相似文献   

The Spaces of Conservation and Development around Lake Nakuru National Park,Kenya     

Robert Daniels  Thomas J. Bassett 《The Professional geographer》2002,54(4):481-490

Geographically or sociologically defined resource management units, such as buffer zones or community resource management territories, seek to harmonize local land–use practices with protected–area management objectives. The geographically restricted nature of these models often results in simplistic representations of society–nature relations over time and space. Conservation areas are misrepresented as ecologically and socially homogeneous, as well as politically neutral. This study examines the limits of a spatially defined conservation and development project designed around the physical geographical unit of the watershed at Lake Nakuru National Park, Kenya. It argues that politically motivated violence that has plagued the area since the early 1990s has severely undermined the suitability of such narrowly defined conservation territories. Specifically, the case study points to the permeability of the Lake Nakuru watershed to national and regional political forces that ultimately constrain participation in conservation activities. The spaces of conservation and development must be enlarged to include these extralocal arenas and processes if environmental problems are to be effectively addressed.  相似文献

张理华  周秉根  万荣荣 《地域研究与开发》2003,22(1):59-61

文章论述了生态交界带是两个以上生态系统交接的过渡带，它具有特有的生态系统结构，生态交界带生态系统的结构，功能和物质，能是以及信息的交流与相邻生态系统有密切的联系，但又表现出明显的异质性，其动态变化机理显示生态交界带内物质，能量和信息的均衡状况。  相似文献   

高山增水效应及其水资源意义   总被引：9，自引：1，他引：9  

丁贤荣 《山地学报》2003,21(6):681-685

根据高山上云、雾、雨、雪、径流等水资源丰富现象，分析了高山冰川、植被、地形等与汽-水作用关系，提出高山增水效应概念和高山区水资源开发与保护的新思路。高大山体及其造成的垂向对流、高山冰川和高山植被共同作用形成了高山增水效应，并形成良性增水系统。山体愈高大，增水效应愈明显。对内陆干旱地区开发利用更多的高山水资源具有意义。  相似文献   

罕见矿物--六方球方解石的发现及特征     

彭苏萍  丁述理  王贤君  刘钦甫 《矿物学报》2003,23(1):45-50

大庆油田部分三元复合驱抽油井结垢现象比较严重。井中结垢损害抽油设备，增加了生产成本。通过运用XRD，IR，SEM和化学分析手段对抽油井垢的研究发现，垢的主要化学成分为CaO和SiO2，其含量分别为67％和28％，油井垢中的主要矿物成分是罕见矿物——六方球方解石。六方球方解石呈微晶状(1—10μm)，并常常以微晶聚集的球粒状出现，同时伴生有无定形SiO2。呈游离态的SiO2和有机质对于六方球方解石的形成起到了重要作用。  相似文献   

平湖油气田凝析油回注油藏对开发效果影响机理研究     

杨耀忠  昌峰  张世明  王庆勇  孙业恒  陈荣华  李奋 《矿物岩石》2003,23(1):93-97

凝析油回注油藏是平湖油气田开发过程中为应对海底输油管线而采取的一种工程应急措施。凝析油回注油藏会引起油层内流体渗流特征的变化，并进而影响油井恢复生产后的开发指标。从室内物理模拟实验和油藏数值模拟两方面开展凝析油回注油藏的影响效果分析，并根据研究结果提出合理的回注方式，不仅从机理上为解决海上油气田开发工程中所遇类似突发事件的处理提供了依据，而且在物理模拟实验和油藏数值模拟研究相结合对油藏基础研究方面提供一些重要的结论。  相似文献   

叠溪地震的今昔--为建立叠溪地质公园进言   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  

周绪纶 《四川地质学报》2003,23(3):188-192

1933年8月25日的叠溪大地震，产生了众多的地震效应现象，如陷落槽、地震湖等。地震湖的震后效应尤为深远，在其后60多年溃堤了4次，给湖下游人民的生命财产造成严重损失。而各种地震遗迹独具特色，尤其是大小海子湖妩媚的湖光山色及众多的陷落槽等现象，具有很高的科考和旅游价值。笔者对建立叠溪地质公园提出了建议。  相似文献
