      Abstract:Qinghai-Tibet Plateau uplift has caused great changes in Asian and global climate.Planetary wind system was changed and monsoon effect appeared around 22 Ma B.P.in East Asia;The monsoon effect of East Asia became stronger,aridity and desertification was intensified,widely spreading Aeolian dust began to accumulate in the Chinese Loess Plateau;The global climate change was droved and intensified by the plateau uplift since 3.6 Ma B P;The monsoon effect of Asian present-day climate was increasingly intensified since 1.2 Ma B P.Since Quaternary,the uplift and structure deformation taken place in the Chinese Loess Plateau and caused geological hazard and soil erosion due to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau uplift.And the uplift of Loess Plateau induced gravitational erosion,backing up erosion and water erosion;The structure deformation resulted in loess collapse and landslide;The soil erosion is most intense in great tectonic deformation zones,active fault zones and seismic zones.

      Abstract:There is a large area of low-quality and benefit forest in middle-mountain of the upper reaches of Minjiang river.High density root-sprouts which are not obvious stem formed shaded condition where there are low light and dry soil of forests.These low-benefit and quality forests are improved by root-sprout regeneration technique for 2 years.Soil ecological functions are ameliorated significantly.Soil bulk density of improved woodland decreased 9.6%~32.6% than that of control.Soil total porosity of improved woodland was also significantly ameliorated.Soil total porosity and capillary porosity of topsoil in improved woodland increased 30.9% and 31.5% than that of control,respectively.Ratio of capillary porosity and non-capillary porosity became even more rational.As a result of melioration of soil porosity condition,the capacity of water-holding was also ameliorated.The maximal,capillary capacity of water-holding and natural moisture content in improved woodland increased 87.5%,(94.6)% and 64.0% than that of control,respectively.The non-capillary capacity of waterholding also increased 72.3% after 2 years.Root-sprout regeneration technique accelerated material circulation,root activity and plant growth and ameliorated soil ecological function through the control of plant structure and function.Root-sprout regeneration technique that increased the capacity of water-holding is a good technique,and it should be popularized in middle-mountain of the upper reaches of Minjiang river.

      Abstract:According to the data of observed points in Zhuanyaogou watershed in the typical gully region of the loess plateau,spatial distribution characteristics of soil total carbon(STC) content were discussed by geo-statistical approach.The reserve of STC was calculated by modeling on the base of the spatial distribution maps of STC in the watershed made by Kriging.The results indicated that the STC content decreased with the increase of depth.At the same depth,the STC contents were highest on the tops of the hills and were lowest in the gullies.The reserve of STC in the range of 0—100 cm was 51.8% of that in the range 0—200 cm depth in the watershed.The STC storage in the depth of 100—200 cm is important for predicting the total STC reserve in the area of Loess(Plateau.)

      Abstract:A new method of tracing precipitation isoline is introduced in term of the character of rain spot and iso-line. The method, firstly, grids the precipitation amount by conicoid, then judges and traces isoline and brings forward a way of how to avoid connection uncertainty of isoline. Lastly, jumping-off and end point of opening-curve,and close isoline were judged. The method improves the precision of the precipitation isoline and is important to count the surface precipitation of the drainage area.
