Evaluating restoration of man‐made slopes: a threshold approach balancing vegetation and rill erosion

The management of reclaimed slopes derived from industrial and civil activities (e.g. surface mining and road construction) requires the development of practical stability analysis approaches that integrate the processes and mechanisms that rule the dynamics of these ubiquitous emerging ecosystems. This work describes a new modelling approach focused on stability analysis of water‐limited reclaimed slopes, where interactive relationships between rill erosion and vegetation regulate ecosystem stability. Our framework reproduces two main groups of possible trends along the temporal evolution of reclaimed slopes: successful trends, characterized by widespread vegetation development and the effective control of rill erosion processes; and gullying trends, characterized by the progressive loss of vegetation and a sharp logistic increase in erosion rates. Furthermore, this analytical approach allows the determination of threshold values for the state variables (i.e. vegetation cover and rill erosion) that drive the system's stability, facilitating the identification of critical situations that require specific human intervention (e.g. revegetation or, in very problematic cases, revegetation combined with rill network destruction) to ensure the long‐term sustainability of the restored ecosystem. The application of our threshold analysis framework in Mediterranean‐dry reclaimed slopes derived from surface coal mining (the Teruel coalfield in central‐eastern Spain) showed a good field‐based performance. Therefore, we believe that this model is a valuable contribution for the management of water‐limited reclaimed systems, including those associated with rill erosion, as it provides a tool for the evaluation of restoration success and can play an important role in decision‐making during ecosystem restoration in severely disturbed landscapes.

A Comparative Analysis of Primary and Extreme Characteristics of Dry or Wet Status between Asia and North America   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

HUA Lijuan  MA Zhuguo  ZHONG Linhao 《大气科学进展》2011,28(2):352-362

In this study, the Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI) was used to analyze the average and extreme dry/wet states of Asia and North America from 1953 to 2003. The results indicate that the two continents underwent drying trends during this period. Compared with North America, Asia showed more severe drought trends. However, more significant and regular seasonal variation for drought was found in North America. The driest regions in Asia were located in the northern region of China, Mongolia, and eastern mid-Siberian plateau. Most regions in central North America were relatively wetter than other regions. The northern and southwestern regions of North America, as well as the Atlantic and Pacific coastal areas, experienced the most drought during this period. A sharp increase of the drought area and the number of extreme drought events took place from 1997 to 2003 in both Asia and North America. Severe drought events were more likely to occur during the summer on both continents. Asia had the most extreme drought events during July, but North America reached its highest drought frequency from June to September. In Asia, a persistent increasing trend of extreme drought emerged throughout the studied period. However, a more complex evolution of drought emerged in North America: a decreasing trend appeared before the mid-1960s and an increasing trend appeared after the late 1970s. A relatively steady dry/wet status was observed between the mid-1960s and the late 1970s. The role of exceptional, extreme drought events with respect to the La Nin?a event was considered during 1997–2003.  相似文献   

Grain‐Size Characteristics of Dune Networks in China's Tengger Desert          下载免费PDF全文

Zhengcai Zhang  Zhibao Dong  Jiyan Li 《Geografiska Annaler: Series A, Physical Geography》2015,97(4):681-693

Grain‐size characteristics of dune networks in the Tengger Desert of northwestern China were investigated. Grain‐size parameters (mean, standard deviation, skew, and kurtosis) were determined on dune surfaces at windward toe, stoss, crest and leeward toe locations. Multiple discriminant analyses were applied to distinguish deposition environments. Results indicated that the aeolian sediment is mainly composed of very fine and fine sand in the dune networks of the Tengger Desert. Sorting improves as grain size becomes finer. However, the relationships between mean grain size, skew, and kurtosis vary in space. There is a negative relationship between skew and sorting; similarly, the relationships between sorting and skew, and skew and kurtosis change in space. The sediment deposition environment includes aeolian sediment and lacustrine sediment. The lacustrine sediment provides the source material for dune windward toe and stoss formation and development, but the aeolian sediment provides the source material for dune crest and leeward toe formation and development. According to the log‐probability of grain size distributions, aeolian sediments in dune networks are composed of two distinct saltation populations.  相似文献   

黔中—渝南石炭纪铝土矿含矿岩系中的海相沉积特征   总被引：2，自引：2，他引：0       下载免费PDF全文

黔中—渝南地区于紫云运动初期的泥盆纪末已准平原化,在石炭纪铝土矿含矿岩系沉积过程中,含矿岩系下段(铁质-粘土岩段)主要为近海湖泊相,含矿岩系上段(铝质岩段)为近海平原相。在这种大环境前提下,经常会受到海泛与强风暴潮的影响与改造,使得主要是陆相环境沉积形成的铝土矿含矿岩系中,含有少量海相大化石(腕足类)和微体生物化石(疑源类和牙形石);另在下段和上段岩矿层间,时夹海相碳酸盐岩透镜体,具明显海相沉积特征。以上表明,黔中—渝南石炭系铝土矿含矿岩系形成环境具有显著的多样性和复杂性,而非单纯的陆相沉积环境所能概括的。  相似文献

多数研究者认为西拉木伦河—长春—延吉断裂带为华北与西伯利亚两大板块的最后缝合带,但最后拼合时间仍存在分歧,原因之一是对晚二叠世—早三叠世地层研究不足,尤其是对上二叠统与下三叠统接触关系研究更为欠缺。幸福之路组分布于大兴安岭南部,为一套以红层为主要特征的杂色碎屑岩组合,含有叶肢介、介形虫、双壳、植物及孢粉化石。笔者对采自巴林右旗幸福之路苏木幸福之路组上段的岩屑晶屑凝灰岩样品进行了LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb测年分析,结果为(254.3±2.6)Ma。结合已有的火山岩测年及化石资料认为,幸福之路组上段下部时代为晚二叠世,上部为早三叠世早期,大兴安岭地区上二叠统与下三叠统为连续沉积,晚二叠世晚期两大板块发生碰撞拼合,古亚洲洋消失,发生南北生物群的混生,早三叠世西伯利亚板块和华北板块碰撞结束。  相似文献   

Recent Activity of the Badu-Longwei Segment, Guguan-Xiangong Fault in Southern Liupanshan, Constrained by Rhythmic Sediment Lithology and Geomorphic Characteristics     

SHI Zhigang  YUAN Daoyang  HE Wengui  LIU Xingwang  WANG Jun 《《地质学报》英文版》2015,89(4):1165-1175

This study's objective was to investigate the Guguan-Xiangong Fault, which lies in the southern Liupanshan area, through satellite image interpretation and field observations. Guguan-Xiangong Fault is divided into five subsegments; among these, the Badu-Longwei segment has been the most recently active. The geomorphic features of the Badu-Longwei segment are clearly displayed, including multiple high fault scarps with fresh bedrock free faces. There is significant evidence for Holocene activity of the three fault sections, located in Renhuashu, Tianjiagou, and Xinjiecun respectively. The three sections feature distinct episodic deposition and fault scratches. Based on 14 Cdating and field observations on the three fault sections, two or more paleoearthquakes across the Badu-Longwei fault segment are ascertained, between 5874±116 and 5430±140 a BP, and after 2037±83 a BP respectively. The Badu-Longwei segment of the Guguan-Xiangong Fault is preliminarily extrapolated as the seismogenic structure of the 600 A.D. Qin-Long earthquake.  相似文献

基于多沙河流"多来多排"输沙基本公式,建立了考虑上站来沙量、前期累计淤积量、临界输沙水量及干支流泥沙粒径影响的输沙量一般表达式。进而根据黄河内蒙古河段1953—2010年实测水沙资料,得到了内蒙古巴彦高勒—头道拐全河段及巴彦高勒—三湖河口和三湖河口—头道拐分河段的年输沙量公式,并根据输沙率法采用建立的输沙量公式计算了各河段1953—2010年的逐年冲淤量。选取三湖河口—头道拐河段的计算结果分析表明,在输沙基本公式基础上增加前期累计淤积量、临界输沙水量及干支流泥沙粒径参数,所得公式计算的年冲淤量与实测值之间的相关系数R2由基本公式的0.41依次提高到0.50、0.75和0.80,说明在基本公式基础上进一步考虑这些参数的必要性。此外,全河及分河段输沙公式计算所得输沙量及各河段冲淤量和累计淤积量与实测值的符合程度均较好,表明建立的输沙公式能够用于不同水沙条件下的输沙量和冲淤量计算,可为分析内蒙古河段的输沙特性和长期淤积趋势提供参考。  相似文献   

澳大利亚中部Alice Spring红色表土磁学特征分析     

温昌辉  刘秀铭  王涛  周子博  侯顺民 《第四纪研究》2015,35(4)

炎热干旱的澳大利亚中部是现代正在形成红色地表的区域.围绕中部Alice Spring地区采集了一系列红色地表样品.这些红色样品按照岩性大致可以分为三类:砂土、沙丘砂和岩石.通过对这些样品详细的磁学测量,发现这三类样品存在明显磁学特征差异,红色砂土和沙丘砂样品磁化率较岩石样品高出许多(砂土和沙丘砂磁化率均值为93.82× 10-8m3/kg),红色岩石样品磁化率值最低(均值为23.2×10-8m3/kg);三者主要磁性矿物也不尽相同;磁颗粒均以超顺磁(SP)颗粒为主,而单畴(SD)颗粒含量少.研究区百分比频率磁化率xfd％均值为8.28％,较黄土高原西部表土(兰州为3.5％)高出许多.该区现代年降水量约300mm,比兰州(约330mm)还低,成土导致百分比频率磁化率增高却比兰州明显高出几倍.这可能反映了黄土高原表土频率磁化率增高与降水量密切相关;而在澳洲中部可能与持续高温成土条件和作用的时间存在更密切的关系.澳洲中部不论岩石还是表土均以红色为主.磁学实验表明,砂土和沙丘砂样品均以磁铁矿为主,三类样品普遍含一定量磁赤铁矿和赤铁矿的贡献,与地表红色外貌相符.说明澳洲红色地表过程很可能是黑色磁铁矿颗粒表面被长期氧化条件下形成的红色磁赤铁矿/赤铁矿所包裹的现象,使得澳洲中部广大地区岩石露头和地表沉积物,普遍形成一层红色染色层.  相似文献   

三峡水库运行初期的泥沙淤积特点   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3       下载免费PDF全文

针对三峡蓄水运行后的泥沙淤积问题,基于实测资料,采用输沙率法和断面法分析了三峡水库运行初期的泥沙淤积特点.结果表明:三峡水库2003—2013年泥沙淤积总量为15.31亿t,平均排沙比为24.5%,均较论证阶段降低;库区泥沙淤积主要分布在常年回水区的宽谷和弯道河段,宽谷段全断面发生淤积、弯道断面流速较小一侧淤积、峡谷无累积性淤积;常年库区近坝段泥沙淤积速度逐年减小,而上段泥沙淤积速度则呈增大趋势;淤积物粒径沿程分选不明显,常年回水区淤积物中值粒径多在0.01 mm以下.库区峡谷段深泓线无明显变化、尚未出现泥沙淤积三角洲、库尾泥沙淤积上延和尾水抬高不明显,据此初步推断峡谷河段存在富余挟沙力而成为局部侵蚀基准面,整个库区将无统一平衡比降的趋势.  相似文献
