Estimating aboveground biomass of the mangrove forests on northeast Hainan Island in China using an upscaling method from field plots,UAV-LiDAR data and Sentinel-2 imagery     

《International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation》2020

The mangrove forests of northeast Hainan Island are the most species diverse forests in China and consist of the Dongzhai National Nature Reserve and the Qinglan Provincial Nature Reserve. The former reserve is the first Chinese national nature reserve for mangroves and the latter has the most abundant mangrove species in China. However, to date the aboveground ground biomass (AGB) of this mangrove region has not been quantified due to the high species diversity and the difficulty of extensive field sampling in mangrove habitat. Although three-dimensional point clouds can capture the forest vertical structure, their application to large areas is hindered by the logistics, costs and data volumes involved. To fill the gap and address this issue, this study proposed a novel upscaling method for mangrove AGB estimation using field plots, UAV-LiDAR strip data and Sentinel-2 imagery (named G∼LiDAR∼S2 model) based on a point-line-polygon framework. In this model, the partial-coverage UAV-LiDAR data were used as a linear bridge to link ground measurements to the wall-to-wall coverage Sentinel-2 data. The results showed that northeast Hainan Island has a total mangrove AGB of 312,806.29 Mg with a mean AGB of 119.26 Mg ha⁻¹. The results also indicated that at the regional scale, the proposed UAV-LiDAR linear bridge method (i.e., G∼LiDAR∼S2 model) performed better than the traditional approach, which directly relates field plots to Sentinel-2 data (named the G∼S2 model) (R² = 0.62 > 0.52, RMSE = 50.36 Mg ha⁻¹<56.63 Mg ha⁻¹). Through a trend extrapolation method, this study inferred that the G∼LiDAR∼S2 model could decrease the number of field samples required by approximately 37% in comparison with those required by the G∼S2 model in the study area. Regarding the UAV-LiDAR sampling intensity, compared with the original number of LiDAR plots, 20% of original linear bridges could produce an acceptable accuracy (R² = 0.62, RMSE = 51.03 Mg ha⁻¹). Consequently, this study presents the first investigation of AGB for the mangrove forests on northeast Hainan Island in China and verifies the feasibility of using this mangrove AGB upscaling method for diverse mangrove forests.  相似文献   

积雪变化对中国森林凋落物分解影响研究进展     

张鹏  孙鸿儒  贾丙瑞 《冰川冻土》2021,43(6):1840-1847

森林凋落物的分解对于维持生态系统物质循环和养分平衡具有重要意义,并受到不同积雪厚度下冻融格局的影响。冻融期（包括冻结过程期、完全冻结期、融化过程期）是冻土区凋落物分解的重要时期,该时期分解的凋落物量约占全年分解总量的一半。积雪减少通常会导致土壤温度降低、冻融循环次数增加,进而影响凋落物分解。通过综述近10年来积雪变化对我国森林凋落物分解影响的研究成果发现,积雪厚度减少在冻融期通常会抑制凋落物质量损失、碳元素释放和纤维素降解,生长季则起到促进作用,从全年来看多数表现为抑制作用。因此,冻融作用造成凋落物的物理破坏,对其分解的促进作用主要发生在后续生长季。积雪厚度减少在冻融期通常抑制氮元素释放,生长季和全年则无明显规律;磷元素和木质素目前研究还存在很大差异。最后,进一步阐述了积雪变化对凋落物分解影响研究存在的问题及未来研究发展方向。  相似文献   

成渝城市群城市建设用地扩张格局及规模体系分析     

张亚萍  张平  孙丹峰  刘顺喜  伦飞 《测绘通报》2020,(7):103-107

基于1990—2018年六期城市建设用地监测数据，本文利用城市用地年面积增长率指数、公共边测度、核密度估计、位序-规模法则等方法，刻画成渝城市群扩张演化特征及其发展规律，并对城市群规模体系进行分析。结果表明：成渝城市群城市建设用地扩张呈先快后慢的趋势，空间上呈“中部高速，南北低速”的特点，建设用地扩张密度高值主要集中在成都、重庆二市且城市群内部连片发展不明显。城市群新增城市用地呈现无序蔓延态势，并未趋于紧凑。2000—2010年，成渝城市群规模分布极化，呈现明显的双核首位特征，2010年后规模分布由非均衡趋于均衡。  相似文献

现有的空间冲突检测方法需要将复杂的空间关系与定义的规则相比较.由于规则的不完备性,这些方法容易漏检或误检.为此,首先分析了拓扑冲突的类型和产生原因;然后以线目标间拓扑冲突为例,研究了线目标间拓扑关系的表达与计算、综合前后线目标间对应关系、拓扑关系的一致性评价方法;最后通过对对应的拓扑关系进行一致性检验,来检测已有方法漏...  相似文献   

Mechanical shaking and soil water affect the growth of Psammochloa villosa in the Mu Us Sandland     

Y.-H. Wang  M. DongF.-H. Yu  H. JiangS.-Q. Yu  X.-Q. LinW.-M. He 《Journal of Arid Environments》2011,75(10):974-977

The Mu Us Sandland is basically characterized by water shortage and high wind. Thus, wind-induced mechanical perturbation (MP) and soil water availability are likely to interact to affect plant growth. Since high water availability and MP can induce responses that are in the opposite direction, we hypothesized that MP effects on perennial grasses might be mitigated by increased soil water availability in the Mu Us Sandland. We counducted an experiment in which seedlings of Psammochloa villosa were subjected to two levels of MP (non-MP vs. MP 1 min d⁻¹) and two levels of water availability (200 ml d⁻¹vs. 400 ml d⁻¹) and measured three plant traits. MP significantly decreased plant height, total biomass, and root/shoot ratio. There were significant interactions between MP and soil water availability on plant height and root/shoot ratio. These findings imply that MP alone is a stressful factor for P. villosa and MP effects on its growth can be partially mitigated by increased soil water availability, and also suggest that P. villosa may respond to MP in a way that allows plants to survive in the windy semiarid environments.  相似文献   

昆虫多样性：一个被忽略的全球性重要问题     

邹怡  冯金朝  薛达元  桑卫国  Jan AXMACHER 《资源与生态学报(英文版)》2011,(4):380-384

昆虫不仅是世界上最多的物种,同时也对生态系统功能和全球经济有着十分重要的作用。因此,昆虫多样性的保护对全球来说都有着十分重要的意义。然而,昆虫多样性常被＂生物多样性＂研究者们所忽略, 昆虫多样性与植物、气候变化的关系更是不明确。本文对将来昆虫多样性的研究方向提出了几点建议,基于中国北部两大典型的森林生态系统——东北长白山地区和华北东灵山地区。这两大地区的植被和气候已经有长期并且完整的调查,而对于其中昆虫多样性的了解却不多。因此在这两个地区开展研究认识昆虫多样性格局和进一步分析昆虫和植物的关系具有重要的科学和应用价值。  相似文献   

Sensitivity of carbon budget to historical climate variability and atmospheric CO2 concentration in temperate grassland ecosystems in China     

Xinghua Sui  Guangsheng Zhou  Qianlai Zhuang 《Climatic change》2013,117(1-2):259-272

Chinese temperate grasslands play an important role in the terrestrial carbon cycle. Based on the parameterization and validation of Terrestrial Ecosystem Model (TEM, Version 5.0), we analyzed the carbon budgets of Chinese temperate grasslands and their responses to historical atmospheric CO₂ concentration and climate variability during 1951–2007. The results indicated that Chinese temperate grassland acted as a slight carbon sink with annual mean value of 7.3 T?g C, ranging from -80.5 to 79.6 T?g C yr^-1. Our sensitivity experiments further revealed that precipitation variability was the primary factor for decreasing carbon storage. CO₂ fertilization may increase the carbon storage (1.4 %) but cannot offset the proportion caused by climate variability (-15.3 %). Impacts of CO₂ concentration, temperature and precipitation variability on Chinese temperate grassland cannot be simply explained by the sum of the individual effects. Interactions among them increased total carbon storage of 56.6 T?g C which 14.2 T?g C was stored in vegetation and 42.4 T?g C was stored in soil. Besides, different grassland types had different responses to climate change and CO₂ concentration. NPP and R_H of the desert and forest steppes were more sensitive to precipitation variability than temperature variability while the typical steppe responded to temperature variability more sensitively than the desert and forest steppes.  相似文献   

The Praeorbitolina/Palorbitolinoides Association: an Aptian biostratigraphic key-interval at the southern margin of the Neo-Tethys     

《Cretaceous Research》2013

The Praeorbitolina/Palorbitolinoides Association characterizes a Lower Cretaceous biostratigraphic interval, which is marked by the common occurrence of these two foraminiferal genera. The base of this interval is defined by the inception of Palorbitolinoides cf. orbiculata, whereas the top is marked by the disappearance of the genus Praeorbitolina. The Praeorbitolina/Palorbitolinoides Association is evident in the uppermost part of the Lower Aptian of the Apulian and Adriatic Carbonate Platforms, as well as of the eastern Arabian Plate, all located at the southern margin of the Neo-Tethys.  相似文献
