Abstract: The objective of this work is to further understanding the temporal and spatial distribution characteristics of CO2 in soil and its influencing factors under different land use and cover change (LUCC). We choose four types of land usage including forest land, grassland, maize land and tobacco leaf l...
Abstract: Study on the mechanism of carbonate mineralization in the presence of microorganisms is of great significance for the global carbon cycle, soil formation and evolution and other related issues. In order to clarify the role of extracellular carbonic anhydrase (CA) excreted by bacteria in the process ...
Abstract: Bryophytes play an important role in forest ecosystems, which are irreplaceable to soil and water conservation and the improvement of the ecological environment. Due to the ecological environment deterioration of rocky desertification in Guizhou province, serious soil erosion problem have been cause...
Abstract: To elucidate the spatial-temporal change of abandoned land and its driving mechanism is one of the most important fields in recent research of land use/change. The Maolan karst natural reserve is well preserved as a typical karst forest ecosystem and world natural heritage. This paper aims to clarif...
Abstract: In order to reveal the characteristics of landscape patterns and landscape ecological quality of different lithological partitions in karst mountainous area, this paper takes Luodian county of Guizhou Province as a case through analysing the data of lithologies, landscape patterns and landscape dist...
Abstract: To study the relationship between the input of soil organic carbon and growth of plant root systems in different soils, four kinds of plants, including Broussonetia papyrifera, Myrsine africana, Medicago sativa and Pennisetum sinese, were shifted and cultivated in calcareous and siliceous yellow soi...
Abstract: Under the background of climate change, it has important significance to study the temporal and spatial changes of land use in ecologically vulnerable areas, which also can reveal the regularity of land use change and influence of human activities. Rocky desertification disaster in the main forms of...
Abstract: Since its initiation, the environmental effect of the project invested by the Chinese government, which is a major forestry ecological project for returning farmland to forest in Guizhou Province, has attracted much attention. This study attempts to clarify the temporal and spatial variation charact...
Abstract: The submerged plants in the Lingshui lake has gradually reduced since 2010, and largely disappeared in 2013. In order to explore the causes of degradation of karst water ecosystem at this place, phytoplankton investigation and monitorin to the water environment have been conducted at the Lingshui an...
Abstract: In this paper, we both use land conflict model based on PSR (Press-State-Response) to assess the evolution of land use conflict intensity and explore the change of spatial differences of land use conflict intensity at a county level and use ESDA (Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis) method for the yea...
Abstract: Guizhou Province hosts a typical karst landform in China, where nearly 65% of the land is karst regions. It leads to the complexity, vulnerability and diversity of Guizhou’s ecological environment because of its unique mountainous plateau terrain and the existence of karst geological conditions. The...
Abstract: The precipitation infiltration coefficient α and groundwater runoff modulus M are the most basic hydrogeological parameters.In this paper,based on the high frequency monitoring data of water level, flow, precipitation of Zhaidi karst underground river basin in a hydrological year from March 2013 to ...
Abstract: This study focuses on the shallow groundwater of karst mountain areas in the Houzhai river in Puding county, Guizhou Province. Seasonal variations of characteristics and influence factors of shallow groundwater were analyzed. The results show that the shallow groundwater of this area contains main a...
Abstract: This paper discussed the division of water source protection zones in karst areas with complex hydro-geological conditions. Taking the Baiquan karst water system of Xingtai City, Hebei Province as an example, we analyzed the historical evolution characters of the groundwater flow field of the karst ...
Abstract: The Mingshui spring area is located at the transition zone from the mountainous region to the piedmont tilting plain in central Shandong Province. It is bounded by the Wenzu fault in the west, Yuwangshan fault in the east, metamorphic rocks and the floor of Lower Cambrian series in the south, and th...
Abstract: The underground river is in Nanshan district of Chongqing City where the karst groundwater is well-developed. There are karst depressions, sinkholes, underground rivers and exposed springs, which has the features of sensitivity and vulnerability of typical karst groundwater systems. Due to urbanizat...
Abstract: The purpose of this work is to investigate the age of low-temperature geothermal karst groundwater in the stagnant area of the Liulin spring drainage. According to regional geological and hydrogeological conditions and field sampling and analysis, taking the Henggou artesian wells in the stagnant ar...
Abstract: The Mengzi basin, located in southeastern Yunnan Province, is an irregular lacustrine plain with an area of 544.2 km2. The basin elevation is from 1,281 to 1,350 m, and the cover is generally 100 to 300m thick. The bottom of the basin is carbonate strata. It is the primary area of cultivated land di...
Abstract: Intensive and long-term monitoring on hydrological parameters has been performed at four permanent dripping sites (VP1VP4) in the Velika Pasica Cave (Slovenia) from 2006 to 2013, in combination with aquatic fauna sampling. Multivariate analytical methods, such as cluster analysis and CCA method, we...
Abstract: The specific goal of this work was to investigate the actinobacterial diversity in the weathered rocks by culture-dependent approach in Heshang Cave, Hubei, China. Three weathered rocks samples (W1, W2 and W3) were collected from aphotic zone and twilight zone in Heshang Cave with sterile centrifuge...
Abstract: Deposition rate of sedimentary cycle of stalagmite,which is calculated based on 230Th age dating according to sedimentary cycle of stalagmite, is an important parameter of stalagmite formation and an effective paleoclimatic index to reconstruct paleoclimate. Variations in deposition rate of sediment...
Abstract: The Zhijin cave is located in the northeast of Zhijin county in western Guizhou Province. The area of Zhijin cave world geological park is 307 km2, and its central scenic spot lies at the intersection of the Liuchong river and Sancha river, where developed the Huangchun dam (T1y2) Formation of Lower...
