青藏高原环境保护对策

青藏高原地域辽阔,地势高亢,生态环境独特而又脆弱。严酷的生存环境使其人口稀少,经济活动对环境的影响也较弱,故高原原始自然面貌基本完好。但是最近数十年间,局部地区的水、土、生物与矿产等资源的过度开发与不合理利用,不仅使部分资源质量下降,也导致局部地区环境趋于恶化,诸如草场退化、森林减少、荒漠化土地增大以及一些主要城乡的三废污染日益严重等。所以,适当控制人口、适度开发与合理利用资源、加强环境整治与自然保护区建设等乃是协调人地关系,保护高原资源与环境,促使高原地区经济可持续发展的基本对策。     

重建土壤水库是黄土高原治本之道

基于黄土高原严重的生态环境问题,在分析黄土高原成因机理及结构特点基础上,探讨了黄土高原“土壤水库”的功能,研究了地表水库、土壤水库、地下水库三库协防在治理黄土高原环境方面的重要作用。结果表明,应将重建土壤水库,实现三库协防,作为构建和谐黄土高原,再现秀美山川的理论依据和指导方针,而地表径流调控与水土资源持续利用技术研究,可为黄土高原国土整治“28字方略”理论实现提供重要的技术支撑。     

黄土高原社会-生态系统变化及其可持续性

在全球变化和人类活动驱动下,社会系统与生态系统均处在不断加剧的动态变化中,揭示二者之间的互馈机制是保持和增强系统弹性以及可持续性的科学基础。黄土高原地区是中国人口、资源、环境矛盾最集中的区域之一,也是黄河重要的产水区和绝大部分泥沙的来源区。合理布局黄土高原土地利用格局,协调黄土高原水土保持和黄河下游水资源利用与泥沙控制,是黄土高原地区和黄河流域可持续发展的重大需求。本文立足于国际社会-生态系统耦合研究前沿和可持续发展与生态建设的国家需求,综述了区域社会系统与生态系统的互馈机制和社会-生态系统的耦合模拟的研究进展,总结了黄土高原社会-生态系统的变化过程和驱动机制,认为发展社会-生态系统动态机制分析方法和稳态转换识别方法,建立耦合社会系统与生态系统的土地利用权衡与优化模型,是推动社会-生态系统耦合研究理论与方法创新、为黄土高原的可持续发展提供科学依据的重要途径。     

黄土高原乡村“人水土”系统协同与机制

快速工业化、城镇化和现代化使得乡村地域系统面临的压力愈加突出,对乡村人地关系及资源组合状况的研究,是面向乡村振兴战略,实现乡村地域协调与高质量发展的科学基础。基于2000—2018年黄土高原313个县级行政单元数据,在构建乡村“人水土”系统指标体系的基础上,采用熵权TOPSIS法、空间自相关模型、GWR模型等方法研究3个子系统的时空分异规律,识别系统间的协同关系及其主要类型,揭示系统协同演化驱动机制。结果表明：①黄土高原乡村人类活动强度指数和水资源指数空间分布格局具有一致性,与土地资源指数空间错位显著,3个子系统指数均以较低水平等级为主,县域间不平衡性突出,但有减弱趋势。②黄土高原乡村系统协同关系类型以双维度制约型为主,研究时段内该类型县域数量呈倒U型变化特征,综合协调型县区数量逐渐增多,说明乡村逐步向高水平协调方向发展。③系统协调发展受自然及社会经济要素形成的资源分布与组合、流动与分配、资源需求利用及人口流动转移四元驱动机制所影响,不同要素对系统权衡强度和协调状态的作用不同。本文对优化乡村地域水土资源配置,促进乡村“人水土”系统协调演进有一定的借鉴意义。     

青藏高原水资源演变与趋势分析

青藏高原及周边地区是长江、黄河、雅鲁藏布江等河流的发源地,素有"亚洲水塔"之称。分析青藏高原地表水、地下水资源量的演变规律和与变化趋势,对青藏高原水资源及水生态保护以及区域发展具有重要战略意义和科学价值。基于河流源区主要江河水文站实测径流资料分析发现,由于降水增多、气温升高等气候变化的影响,青藏高原多数区域地表河川径流量呈现增加趋势,季节过程也发生了明显变化,长江、怒江和雅鲁藏布江河源区径流增加趋势尤为显著。研究发现,气温升高导致的冰川积雪融化径流的增多是地下水资源量以及高原湖泊水量增加的主要原因。未来预测分析认为,随着冰川积雪的减少,融雪径流将会减少,部分河流径流量会出现由增转减的"拐点",这将导致该区域的水资源安全面临新的问题和挑战。全球变化对青藏高原水资源演变的影响需引起高度重视,并积极采取应对措施。     

Convergent genomic signatures of high-altitude adaptation among domestic mammals

Abundant and diverse domestic mammals living on the Tibetan Plateau provide useful materials for investigating adaptive evolution and genetic convergence. Here, we used 327 genomes from horses, sheep, goats, cattle, pigs and dogs living at both high and low altitudes, including 73 genomes generated for this study, to disentangle the genetic mechanisms underlying local adaptation of domestic mammals. Although molecular convergence is comparatively rare at the DNA sequence level, we found convergent signature of positive selection at the gene level, particularly the EPAS1 gene in these Tibetan domestic mammals. We also reported a potential function in response to hypoxia for the gene C10orf67, which underwent positive selection in three of the domestic mammals. Our data provide an insight into adaptive evolution of high-altitude domestic mammals, and should facilitate the search for additional novel genes involved in the hypoxia response pathway.     

黄土高原水土保持工程措施的生态系统服务

黄土高原严重的水土流失是黄河泥沙的主要来源。自1950s以来大规模实施的水土保持工程建设是黄土高原水土流失治理的重要举措,在减少入黄泥沙方面做出了巨大贡献。水土保持工程措施通过直接或间接地作用于坡面、沟道的水文过程和物质迁移过程等,改变了水资源和土壤资源的时空分配格局,在土壤保持、粮食供给、水文调节等方面发挥了重要作用,对黄河流域生态安全具有重要贡献。本文系统综述了黄土高原水土保持工程措施的发展演变,阐述了水土保持工程措施对水土过程的作用机制及对关键生态系统服务的贡献,探讨了新形势下黄土高原水土保持工程措施建设面临的问题、挑战。在此基础上提出今后黄土高原水土保持工程措施应加强维护和管理,提升应对极端气候事件和自然灾害的能力,面向国家生态文明建设和区域社会经济发展需求,统筹工程措施与植被措施,进行科学的设计与合理的时空配置,以维护黄土高原及黄河流域生态安全、维持和提升区域生态系统服务功能及社会经济效益。     

劳动力外出务工对农户水土保持技术采用的影响——基于集体行动参与的中介效应

在农村劳动力转移的趋势下,黄土高原农户在时间禀赋恒定条件下的劳动力配置逐渐成为采用水土保持技术的关键因素,探究二者关系对于提高技术采用率、减少水土流失、改善生态环境具有重要意义。本文利用黄土高原区1197份农户的调查数据,使用Probit模型,主要考察了农户劳动力外出务工行为及时间长短对水土保持技术采用的影响,进一步运用逐步检验法,检验了农户参与集体行动对外出务工影响水土保持技术采用的中介效应。研究结果表明：①总体上,劳动力外出务工会促进其水土保持技术的采用。但异质性分析表明,随着劳动力外出务工时间延长,农户对农业收入依赖性降低,削弱了农户水土保持技术的采取。②农户参与村集体行动是劳动力转移影响农户水土保持技术采用行为的渠道之一,具有部分中介效应,证实了集体行动模式在水土保持技术应用推广中的价值。此外,农业经营决策者的受教育程度、务农年限与农户家庭的邻里互助、技术改善认知以及政府的技术推广活动均对农户的水土保持技术采用行为具有显著的正向影响。本文不仅提供了劳动力转移趋势下水土保持技术扩散的研究证据,对健全村集体行动以促进技术采用也具备一定的经验价值。     

西藏高原植物区系中特有属的研究

The Xizang (Tibetan) flora with numerous endemics is of importance in Chi- nese flora.   According to recent statistics there are in Xizang 27 genera of  spermatophytes endemic to China, being only 2.25% percent of the total number of genera in the Xizang flora. Four of them are regarded as palaeoendemics (14.81%) and the others as neoendemics (85.19%). These endemic genera, of 30 species and 3 varieties, belong to 17 families, of which, Umbelli- ferae contains 6 genera, 7 species and 3 varieties; Compositae has 6 genera and 7 species, and Gentianaceae 1 genus and 2 species.  All the other families each comprises one genus with a single species.       The cosmopolitan families together comprising 14 genera with 15 species have the highest perecentage (52.92%) and the tropical ones (5 families, 5 genera with 5 species) come to the next (29.42%), followed by the temperate ones (3 families, 10 genera with 10 species) (17.66%). It shows that these endemic genera are obviously related to the tropical flora and temperate one in essence.        According to the number of species, the genera endemic to China and occurring in Xi- zang flora may be grouped as fallows. Monotypic endemic ones 14 (51.85%) Ditypic endemic ones 6 (22.22%) Oligotypic endemic ones 4 (14.81%) Small endemic ones 3 (11.11%)        The formation of the endemic genera is correlated with the topography, climate and en- vironmental conditions, and they may have resulted from the diversification in geography and climatic influence for a long time.  The southeastern part of Xizang Plateau is of very diverse ecological conditions, with the adequate precipitation, which may explain the concentration of these endemic genera in this region.        The largest similarity coefficient (38.30%) of the genera endemic to China and occurring in Xizang is with those in Qinghai Plateau, next, with those in Yunnan and in Sichuan pro- vinces (both 27.60%), which shows that these endemic genera are related to the floras of the regions mentioned above.        The difference in the horizontal distribution of these endemic genera is obviously between the southern and northern parts of Xizang Plateau.  The vertical distribution of the genera is also rather obvious, from 800 m to 5200 m above sea level, but concentrated in the zone of 3000 m to 4500 mm.  Therefore their occurrence in Xizang is not only affected by the historical environmental conditions but also controlled by the horizontal and vertical distribution.      The origin and evolution of some endemic genera, such as Psammosilene, Parateropyrum, Sphaerotylos, Salweenia, Ajaniopsis, Xizangia, Sinoleontopodium, are discussed in this paper.      Parateropyrum, a monotypic palaeotropic endemic, belongs to the tribe Atraphaxideae in- cluding Atraphaxis, Calligonum and Pteropyrum.  It may be a comparatively advanced group in the tribe, and is closely related to the genus Pteropyrum  which is  distributed in western Asia.  The genus Parapteropyrum has possibly survived as a palaetropic-tertiary  relic in this region.      Sphaerotylos, a member of the subtribe Sphaerotylinae, the tribe Boehmerieae in the family Urticaceae, is a comparatively primitive genus in the tribe Boehmerieae so far known.  As the other subtribes, such as Boehmerinae, Sarconchlamydinae, Orecnidinae and Maoutinae, are dis- tributed in the tropics, rarely in the subtropics, the genus is no doubt a palaetropic -tertiary relic.      Sinoleontopodium, belonging to the tribe lnuleae in Compositae, is also related to the ge- nus Leontopodium.  It is probable that the genus Sinoleontopodium arised later than the other.       We come to the conclusion that the southern part of Xizang Plateau is also one of thecentres of the origin and differentiation of genera endemic to China.
