Based on these index systems,the area was divided into three eco-environment regions and nine sub eco-environment regions. An eco-regional map of Bashang inland lake wetland was drawn by using GIS. The ecological characteristics,existing problems and control measures of each region were described. This study will supply guidance for the construction of local ecological environment and regulation of industrial structure,promoting sustainable development of Bashang inland lake wetland.展开更多

[Method] By using an optical microscope, pollen morphology of nine major crops in Bashang Plateau of Hebei Province was observed and compared. [Result] Pollen grains were spherical, nearly spherical or prolate; pollen grains of Cucurbita pepo were the largest, and those of Brassica campestris were the smallest; P/E value of Vicia faba was the maximum of 1.77, and that of Avena chinsis was the minimum of 1.00; there were six types of germinal apertures, including single-aperture, scattered-aperture, 3-aperture, 3-groove, 3-colporate and 3-4-colporate; there were four types of exine ornamentation, including reticulate ornamentation, warty ornamentation, spinulose ornamentation and granular ornamentation. [Conclusion] This study not only provided standard maps and related information for the identification of crop pollens in different strata, but also provided modern palynological evidence for extracting information of synarthropic plants （cultivated crops mostly） in different strata, deducing the natural environment ancient human lived in, and understanding the relationship between human and environmental changes.展开更多

The extremely fragile eco-environment is also liable to have desertification formed and developed. In the 18 years from 1978 to 1996, the desertified land area of Bashang within the scope of the map nearly doubled, a total increase of 2199.11 km2, averaging an increase of 122.17 km2 per year. Moreover, the seriously desertified area increases rapidly. Land desertification in Bashang is the combined result of natural factors and irrational human economic activities. Cultivated land expansion, population growth, and overgrazing aggrevate desertification development.展开更多

The area is located at 200 km from Beijing and Tianjin and is a typical agriculture pasture interlacing zone, in which the eco environment is vulnerable and hence it is sensitive to environmental change. The area is relatively lagged in social and economic development, where the traditional cultivation mode is predominated in agriculture and animal husbandry, but the disturbance by human activity is relatively small. Therefore, in order to reveal the interrelation between eco environmental change in the area and environmental change in Beijing and Tianjin area, it is fairly necessary to study the effect of land use and land cover change on nutrients in soil in this area. According to the actual situation of changed land use for the limited time period, five series of changed land plots were selected and 4 samples were collected from each series for the study. The samples were collected from different soil forming levels at the same site in different time. Analysis of the collected samples indicates that in the process of change of land use and land cover, the nutrients in soil, such as organic matter, total N, total P, total K, and available N, P, K, and B, Mo, Mn, Zn, Cu, and Fe, have regularly changed. When the land had changed from grassland and non irrigated farmland into woodland, and from non irrigated farmland into irrigated field, the nutrients in soil totally increased. But there exists some exception, i.e. quick acting N, P, K, and some microelements have appeared to be inconsistent with the mentioned above regularity in some cases.展开更多

Our analysis of paleodunes, paleosol profiles, and lake changes taking place during last ten thousands years indicated that: (1) 10 - 6.9 ka B. P. was a post-glacial temperature-increasing stage, in which lakes had their high water level; (2) 6.9 - 3.0 ka B. P. was a large warm stage, during which four paleosol layers were developed and climate fluctuation has assumed 4 - 5 small cold-humid and cold-dry alternations. Since 5.4 ka B.

Its expansion or shrinkage directly affects the ecological security of the plateau and its surrounding areas. In this study, Landsat images from 1984 to 2015 were selected to monitor the area of lakes in the Bashang Plateau and to analyze the spatiotemporal evolution and driving forces of lakes in the Bashang Plateau. The results showed that there were 47 lakes in the Bashang Plateau in 2015, with a total area of 37.63 km2, mainly distributed in the central and western regions of the region. From 1984 to 2015, the lakes in Bashang Plateau showed a shrinking trend. At the same time, there are obvious stage differences in lake changes. During 1984-1996, the number of lakes increased by 99 and the total area increased by 124.43 km2. From 1996 to 2015, the number of lakes decreased by 142, and the total area decreased by 183.96 km2. Before 1996, climate change was the dominant factor. However, the shrinkage of lakes after 1996 is the result of climate change and human activities. Among them, the large-scale planting of water consuming crops such as vegetables is the main human activity mode leading to lake shrinkage. This study will help to understand the expansion and contraction factors of the Bashang Plateau lakes in Hebei province and provide a reference for the future protection and management of the lakes.展开更多

文摘In order to construct stable vegetation for reducing wind and sand disasters and soil erosion in the Bashang Area of Northwest Hebei Province in China,it is very important to understand the ecological water demand of different vegetation types in this area.Based on observed data and the Irmak-Allen formula,we investigated the ecological water demand and ecological water shortage of arbor,shrub and grassland in Bashang Area of northwestern Hebei province.The results showed that the actual evapotranspiration values of the three vegetation types in the growing seasons in the study area from high to low were arbor forest(401.81 mm),shrub(358.78 mm)and grassland(346.02 mm).The minimum ecological water requirements of arbor forest,shrub and grassland in the growing season were 243.96 mm,218.35 mm and 211.36 mm,respectively,and the optimal ecological water requirements were 472.99 mm,423.34 mm and 409.77 mm,respectively.In addition,the optimal ecological water shortage values were 198.56 mm for arbor forest,148.91 mm for shrub and 135.34 mm for grassland.The ecological water shortage of vegetation has obvious seasonality,with the largest water shortage in May and June,and a lower and steady water surplus in July to October.Therefore,an artificial water supplementation in May and June would alleviate the drought stress of the vegetation.The rainfall in Bashang Area of Northwest Hebei Province can meet the requirements of minimum ecological water demand for arbor forest,but the gap between the rainfall and the optimal ecological water requirement is too large to support good growth of an arbor forest,which could explain why the degradation of poplar protective forests has occurred in Bashang Area.
