Abstract: Using the wind data in Xilamuren desert grassland by wind erosion monitoring system to record the years of 2011-2013 as the research foundations, through the statistics of wind and sand transport potential research, from aspect of the characteristics of blown sand environment Xilamuren desert grassland which can be shown the research area are mainly affected by the westerly, Northwest westerly wind or northwest wind three group interaction. The study area of annual sediment potential had mainly effected by westerly and Northwest westerly wind direction ,with wind direction variability index in 0.51°~ 0.61°, belonging to the intermediate ratio range of direction. Annual sediment potential was between 135.95VU ~214.1VU,belongs to the small and medium-sized wind environment. The spring sand transport potential and the resultant sand transporting potential than the other three seasons of sediment transport potential and the resultant sand transporting potential, the main direction of resultant sand transporting potential to Northwest westerly direction, wind direction variability index is relatively large. For spring grassland vegetation coverage rate is lowly, wind speed is large, characteristics of sand is belong to rich material, which should we to retain sand material through the appropriate protective measures to reduce wind erosion. So analyzing the wind regime and the theory of sediment transport potential calculation, provide scientific theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of sand and harm to the Xilamuren grassland sand flow process.

Abstract: In northern China, grassland has degraded severely and wind erosion occurs remarkably due to irrational land use in recent years. By employing sand sampler and mobile wind tunnel, an observation for 6 years was made to analyze the mechanisms of wind erosion in Xilamuren grassland, the central of Yinshan Mountains, Inner Mongolia. Results show that: (1) vegetation is the decisive factor for controlling wind erosion and the inhibiting effect of vegetation height on wind erosion is greater than that of vegetation coverage. (2) Wind erosion modulus in the initial period of enclosure reaches 1313.7 t km^-2a^-1 and with the improvement of the grassland vegetation, wind erosion decreases year by year. (3) For every 1000 kg soil eroded by wind, 15 kg organic matter, 227g available nitrogen, 262g available phosphorus and 120g available potassium lose in the region at the same time, being a tremendous fertility loss. Therefore, the protection of base grassland and restoration of degraded grassland are two fundamental approaches to control wind erosion on the grassland.

Abstract: Adsorption of Cu2+ and Ni2+ from aqueous solution on CCDMZ was investigated. The adsorption capacity of Cu2+ and Ni2+ on CCDMZ was found to have a much higher enhance than that of NZ and to be obviously influenced by contact time, initial concentration and pH. The kinetic studies showed that the adsorption processes of Cu2+ and Ni2+ on CCDMZ were complex, including chemical adsorption and physical adsorption. The adsorption followed the pseudo-second-order model, which suggested that the rate-limiting step might be mainly chemisorption.

Abstract: Caragana microphylla Lam, Salix psammophila C.wang et Ch.Y.Yang, Sabina vulgaris Ant, Artemisia sphaerocephala Krasch and Hippophae rhamnides Linn are common plants used in soil and water conservation in the arid and semi-arid regions of Inner Mongolia. In order to screen the soil-reinforcement and anti-erosion plants for this area, the tensile mechanical property, root-soil surface friction property, and the root-soil composite shear property of roots were studied. During the summer drought period, ten factors of the five kinds of four-age plants were evaluated by analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The results showed that the benefit index of soil-reinforcement by roots were Caragana microphylla(0.72)> Sabina vulgaris(0.38)> Salix psammophila(0.03)> Artemisia sphaerocephala(-0.23)> Hippophae rhamnides(-0.90). Therefore, Caragana microphylla Lam should be considered as the preferred reference specie in soil-reinforcement and anti-erosion for the arid and semi-arid regions of China.

Abstract: Silicon could improve soil fertility, promote crop growth, increase plant resistance to pests and harmful elements and improve yields and quality of agricultural products. Therefore, it would be theoretical significance and practical value to improve water and fertilizer conditions and apply extensively silicon fertilizers on the base of understanding silicon properties of soil in greenhouse. In this paper, the representative soils in greenhouse in Liaoning region were used to analyze the silicon change of soil. Results show that the amount of soluble silicon and amorphous silicon in protected soil were higher than those in uncovered soil, whereas the amount of active silicon in greenhouse soil was lower than that in open field. The amount of soluble silicon and amorphous silicon in 0~20cm soil layer were higher than those in 20~40cm soil layer, neither was the amount of active silicon. The amount of soluble silicon, amorphous silicon and active silicon in 0~20cm and 20~40cm soil layer increased first, then decreased with the growth of planting time.

Abstract: In the past two decade, the Chinese government has paid a huge effort to solve the problem of drinking water in remote rural. As an alterative success case, rainwater harvesting and utility has been the most efficient way to supplying fresh water in rural areas of the Loess Plateau, a typical water resources serious shortage area in China. Focused on improving the quality of the rural village cistern water, study about the characteristics of ion release from building materials during runoff process with five representative materials used for rainwater collection: concrete, red brick, grey tile, red tile and soil was conducted. The ion releasing process and following effect on cistern water quality index, such as hardness, pH, conductivity, has been analyzed. Results revealed that the most release strength of different materials was arriving at 30s following startup. Furthermore, the test of effects of rain acidity on ion release procession showed that the total ion release increased with storm water pH declining, however, the release strength was irrelevance with runoff’s pH. Based on research results, a detailed suggestion was provided to renovate intake construction of cistern for improving the drinking water quality in remote rural areas of Weibei Semi-arid District.

Abstract: Organic phosphorus in sediments of lake Gehu in China was investigated and researched via two methods: chemical fractionation and phosphorus-31 nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Results of chemical fractionation suggested that concentration of each organic phosphorus species in different sediments may varied highly since different condition, but showed a rank trend : residual Po> HCl-Po> Fulvic-Po> Humic-Po>NaHCO3-Po. Labile and moderately labile Po , regarded as potential P , contributed to 33.6% to 64.6% relative to total Po, which can be degraded for phytoplankton. 31P-NMR results suggested that the rank order of P species presented in NaOH-EDTA extractants of sediments: orthophosphate> monoester-P> DNA-P> pyrophosphate-P, and polyphosphate and phosphonate were almost not detected.

Abstract: Soil moisture content and soil porosity were measured in banana plantation under three tillage practices, including deep-tillage (DT), no-tillage (NT), and no-tillage plus straw cover (NTSC). In the experiments, the top layer soil was separated into three depth including 0~15 cm, 15~30 cm and 30 ~ 45 cm. The soil sampling were performed at four plant growth periods, including the stage of banana seedling (SBS), metaphase of banana (MB), the stage of pregnancy (SP) and pumping stage (PS). The results showed that: Among three depth of top layers, soil moisture content in 0~15 cm at four plant growth periods was lower than that in other two depth by three tillage practices. In 0~15 cm top layer soil, all the soil moisture at four plant periods by NTSC practice were highest. And all the soil moisture in soil treated by three tillage practices were increased with the plant growth. The soil porosity in this layer at SBS and MB stages by DT practice was significantly higher than that by NT and NTSC practices. In 15~30 cm layer soil, the soil moisture content and soil porosity at SBS stage was highest in the soil treated by DT practice compared to the that in soil treated by other two tillage practices. In 30~45 cm layer, the soil porosity at SBS stage by DT and NTSC practices were significantly lower than that by NT practice. At MB stage by DT practice it was significantly higher than that by other practices.
