Sediment chemistry and nutrient influx in a hydrologically restored bottomland hardwood forest in Midwestern USA

Exchanges of total N and C between a river and its floodplain forest have been enhanced by sedimentation processes during flood pulses at a 5‐ha bottomland hardwood forest located at the Olentangy River Wetland Research Park in central Ohio. In the spring of 2000, the forest was hydrologically restored by notching an artificial levee that had separated the Olentangy River and its floodplain forest for 100 years. One‐hundred flat sediment traps (30 cm × 30 cm) were used to collect sediment samples during spring/summer flooding events from 2003 to 2005. Results showed that sediment deposition is determined by the landscape variability during flooding events, Net sediment deposit in the wettest area averaged 134 ± 12 g‐dry wt m^?2 in 2003, 127 ± 17 g‐dry wt m^?2 in 2004 and 149 ± 23 g‐dry wt m^?2 in 2005. Total N and C sedimentation ranged from 0.49 to 0.92 g‐N m^?2 and 5.2 to 19.9 g‐C m^?2. Fe dominates the sediment chemistry and results show the elemental abundance in the order of Al > Fe > Ca > K > Mg > S > P > Na > Mn > Zn > B > Cu > Mo. A hydrologic pulsing index (HPI) could be used as an indicator for mass changes of energies with hydrologic pulsing events. Restoration of seasonally flooded bottomland forests could stimulate potentially large nutrient and Fe releases, which would eventually lead to an enhanced forest productivity and biodiversity.

黄河下游滩区居民对安全的心理需求

黄河下游滩区居民对自身安全的需求非常强烈，具体表现在以下3个方面：对房屋采取垫高房台等安全措施，出于安全的原因愿意搬离现居住地，较高生育率与偏好男孩。他们建立在安全需求上的相应行为，增大了生活成本，影响着他们生存发展的空间，进而制约着滩区社会经济的发展。     

水利规划生态适宜性研究

选择生物丰度指数、植被覆盖指数、水资源指数、土地退化指数、污染负荷指数5类基本因子，组成生态适宜性评价指标，评价值在0．067-1．500之间变化，对结果进行再处理、聚类，划分毗河供水规划的生态适宜分区。结合区域生态、环境特征和要求，对水利规划作出相应的调整。毗河供水规划整体布局较合理，大型建设项目未处于生态需特别保护的区域。各水库农业灌溉的同时，也能发挥生态功能，为周围环境提供用水，对区域生态与环境有促进作用。     

黄河天桥水电站工程建设及泥沙处理主要经验

天桥水电站是黄河中游北干上的第一座高泥沙、低水头、大流量的径流式试验电站。它成功的施工与运营经验不仅对在黄河中游北干上开发梯级水电站，而且对中小型径流式水电站的施工都具有重要的借鉴作用。这篇文章总结了两期截流工程、基坑排水、固结灌浆、帷幕灌浆方面的施工经验。在诸如厂房位置的选择以及它的布置，泥沙、冰凌、洪水以及拦污方面的工程设计与运营的宝贵经验，使得水库长期保持高的有效库容和良好的运营状态。特剐是防止进水口淤积和水轮机的磨蚀方面的七条措施是非常有价值的。     

宁夏黄河经济及其非均衡协调发展战略

宁夏黄河经济应是宁夏区域经济,发展宁夏黄河经济必须立足于宁夏黄河资源的开发。广义而言,黄河资源基本上是宁夏全部的国土资源.其开发模式应由过去的单一开发、浅层开发向综合开发、深度开发转换。同时要注重以水利建设为突破口,以水利、农业两大基础产业为重点,煤—电—高耗能系列开发、灌溉—农业—轻工业系列开发、教育—人才—信息系列开发三大主导方向并行。发展宁夏黄河经济,应选择具有优势的部门和地区实行重点开发,使其优先增长,以此辐射带动整个区域的发展。     

黄河中游多沙粗沙区水沙控制途径的探讨

根据黄河中游多沙粗区暴雨洪水及产流产沙特点，提出了为控制水沙危害，黄河中游治理应分两步走的战略。第一步解决近期水沙控制和耕地问题，主要措施是建设淤地坝和骨干坝。研究表明，在现状坝地，梯田条件下，为满足粮食生产需要，每平方公里需新增坝地３．１８ｈａ，且能港口控制水沙的要求。第二步是进行坡面治理，改善生态环境，以达到根治水沙的目的。     

珠江口盆地(西部)早第三纪古环境分析

珠江口盆地(西部)早第三纪的古环境变迁与盆地的形成及演化紧密相关。早第三纪盆地演化经历了4个阶段。第一阶段,盆地早期拉张,以粗粒沉积物沉积为主,部分地域发育小湖盆。第二阶段,盆地稳定下沉,是富营养性湖泊的鼎盛期,形成优质湖相烃源岩。第三阶段,湖盆萎缩,煤系沼泽发育,形成湖相和煤系两类重要烃源岩。第四阶段,古湖泊消亡,海水漫进,滨浅海砂岩体发育,形成油气勘探的有利目的层。     

黄河下游平滩流量对来水来沙变化的响应

本文探讨了平滩流量对来水来沙的滞后响应规律，发现平滩流量不仅与当年的水沙条件有关，而且与前期水沙条件有关，是一定时期内的水沙条件累积作用的结果。当采用滑动平均值来反应前期水沙条件的累积影响时，得出平滩流量与滑动平均汛期流量和滑动平均来沙系数的相关程度分别在4年和5年时达到最大值。据此建立了能够反映来水流量和来沙系数前期综合影响的平滩流量计算方法，可以用来估算黄河下游主要测站平滩流量随水沙条件的变化。     

Flood frequency and routing processes at a confluence of the middle Yellow River in China

Floods cause environmental hazards and influence on socio‐economic activities. In this study, we evaluated the historic flood frequency at a confluence in the middle Yellow River, China. A non‐parametric, multivariate, empirical, orthogonal function matrix model, which consists of time correlation coefficients of flood discharge at different gauge stations and flood events was used for the analysis of flood frequency. The model addresses the characteristics of confluent floods such as frequency and the probability in multiple tributary rivers. Flood frequency analysis is often coupled with studies of hydrological routing processes that reduce the flood capacity of the rivers. Flood routing to the confluence were simulated using kinematic wave theory. Results of this flood frequency analysis showed that flooding frequency has intensified in the past 500 years, especially during the 19th century. Flooding in streams above the confluence was more frequent than in streams below the confluence. Over the last 2000 years, concurrent flooding in multiple tributary rivers accounted for 67.5% of the total flooding in the middle Yellow River. Simulation of flood routing processes shows that the decreased flooding capacity and elevated river bed of the shrunken main channel leads to an increased flood wave propagation time (24–52.3 h) in the study area after 1995. The model indicates that human activities, such as constructions of the Sanmenxia Dam, have changed flood routing boundary conditions and have contributed to the increased flood frequency at the confluence.
