    Cellular Automata (CA) model is an efficient model to simulate land use/cover change (LUCC) process. However, the majority of geographic cellular automata researches now focus more on transition rules than on spatial scale selection. As a result, the spatial scale decisions of geographic cellular automata are often made arbitrarily. When using CA model in geographic context, nontrivial questions have to be answered about the choice of spatial scale and neighborhood configuration. This article takes Huadu district,Guangzhou City as the study area, to investigate the effect of changing spatial scale and neighborhood configuration on the result prediction accuracy of the CA-Markov model and the morphology of land use change simulation result. The result shows that (1)the spatial scale has great impact on the simulation results of CA-Markov model. Coarse cell size will reduce the result prediction accuracy of the model. There is a threshold of cell size in the model. When the cell size exceeds this threshold, the result prediction accuracy dropped rapidly. (2) Neighborhood configuration also has impact on the simulation results of CA-Markov model. The patch number and patch density of simulation result using 3?3 Von Neumann neighborhood are higher than simulation result using 3?3 and 5?5 Moore neighborhood, but there is little difference of Kappa coefficients of the simulation results.

    Taking the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei metropolitan region as an example, firstly, the best analysis grid size which is 100m is determined. Secondly, using the methods such as Markov transition matrix and landscape pattern indices and so on, land use change, land type transformation, landscape patterns characteristics and land use impact factors are analyzed in the study area. Then, Logistic-CA-Markov coupled model is applied to the quantitative prediction and spatial simulation on the trend of land use change under three different scenarios. The results showed that, ① On the landscape level, the overall degree of landscape fragmentation in the study area is increasing, which is exacerbated by human activities. On the patch type level, urban areas are continuous expanding, and farmland, grassland and woodland are dominant types in the study area, and the degree of fragmentation of cultivated land and water are significantly increased. ② During 1985 to 2000, the cultivated land is the main source of land transfer, which is mainly converted to the residents and urban land, mining land, water and forest. In addition, residents and urban land and mining land mainly come from the cultivated land, grassland and woodland. ③ The distribution of each land type is related to many factors, moreover, the common one is the distance to the original land use type. ④ According to the scenario 1 of land use changes simulating, the cultivated land, woodland, grassland and unused land reduce in varying degrees from 1985 to 2030; on the contrary, urban and residential land and mining land and water increase significantly, which indicate that significantly speeding up of the urbanization process. The construction land is constantly expanding around the original one, and taking up a lot of farmland and other non-agricultural construction.

    Based on air temperature and precipitation data in Northeast China during 1956 to 2007 as well as the related literatures at home and abroad, the key zone, key period and key factor influencing summer and winter air temperature and summer precipitation were analyzed and summarized. Summer precipitation often occurs in Northeast China under some circumfluence conditions, such as the polar vortex oscillation, the prevailing East Asia blocking high, the westward or northward subtropical high, the strong westerly jet center over Tibetan Plateau. On the other hand, low temperature in summer often appears in Northeast China when height field is negative anomaly over Iran high and South Asia high regions, polar vortex center intensity of last October is normal and strong, subtropical high intensity was weak and its location was eastward or southward in summer. Colder/warmer winter in Northeast China is related with the strong/weak Siberian high and Aleutian low, low/high prophase sea surface temperature of North Atlantic.

    In the high resolution remote sensing images, urban roads are the narrow areas that have the performance of local gray approximation and the width with slow change. The method of road extraction is proposed based on morphological reconstruction because of these morphological characteristics. Firstly, enhancing the original remote sensing image to highlight the image edge information, and making the enhanced image initial segmentation by the Otsu threshold segmentation method. Secondly, the original image is morphological reconstructed respectively by the different constructed markers according to the morphological characteristics of image elements, and the roads and buildings become the new image module. Lastly, the reconstructed road modules are contour extracted and refined for the road profile and centerline. Experimental results show that the method can effectively extract the urban road network from the high resolution remote sensing images.

    Aiming to characterize soil salinization, soil salinity profile types and distribution in the low plain around the Bohai Sea, soil samples were collected from 127 sites in the plain in this study. Soil samples in each site were taken from 0 cm to 60 cm in 5-cm or 10-cm increment, and soil salinity of each soil sample was analyzed based on the statistical method, principle component analysis method, hierarchical cluster analysis method and GIS technique. The results showed that the variations of soil salinity in the surface layer belonged to highly variation degree, soil salinity in other layers belonged to moderate variation degree in horizontal direction, while in the vertical direction, their differences are small. Soil salinity could be influenced by 5 principle components which were soil salinizaiton (principle component 1), soil alkalization (principle component 2), total regional dissolved soild, groundwater level (principle component 3, 5), source of kalium (principle component 4), and the cumulative contribution of these principle components added up to 87.88%. Hierarchical cluster analysis results indicated that salinity profile could be classified into 3 types, i.e. the top enrichment, the bottom enrichment and the middle enrichment. The percentage of each soil salinity profile type is almost equal, about 1/3. The top enrichment profile type is mostly distributed in the east coastal plain, the bottom enrichment profile type is mainly located in the inland low plain, while the middle enrichment profile type is distributed as map patches irregularly. Top enrichment profile type is the salinity accumulated state, on the contrary, the bottom enrichment profile is the desalinated state, while the middle enrichment profile type is the transitional sate between accumulation and desalination. The distributon patterns of salinity profile types reflected the effect of many factors to some extent.

    The Changbai Mountains, located in the Northeast China (41?23'-42?36'N, 126?55'-128?8'E), are rich in natural resources and have always been concerned by scientists. Soil faunas play crucial roles in forest ecosystem processes such as litter decomposition and nutrient mineralization, and also have effects on soil formation and quality. To understand the ecogeographical distribution of soil faunal community and provide the scientific basis for the conservation of forest ecosystems in Changbai Mountains, community composition, structure and biodiversity of soil fauna were investigated in top, typical and bottom distribution areas of Pinus koraiensis mixed broad-leaved forest of Changbai Mountain in July 2008. The sample area was 50 cm?50 cm for soil macrofauna and 10 cm?10 cm for soil meso-microfauna. Soil macrofauna was picked out by hands. Soil meso-microfauna was extracted by Tullgren funnel. All extracted soil samples were identified to the suborder or family level under a stereoscopic microscope. Soil pH was measured with PHS-3B acidity meter. Soil organic C was determined by K2Cr2O7 oxidation method and total N by Kjeldahl method. Total P was analyzed by using the colorimetric method with molybdenum in sulphuric acid. Total K was determined with flame photometer. A total of 39 groups, 6 124 individuals of soil fauna were obtained and fell into 3 phylum, 6 classes, 17 orders. Oribatida, Actinedida and Isotomidae were the dominant groups. There were 5 common groups, involving Hypogastruridae, Pseudachorutidae, Gamasida, Entomobryidae and Tomoceridae, and 31 rare groups in the collection. Results showed that there was significant difference in the individual numbers of soil fauna between typical and bottom (p<0.05) distribution areas, while group numbers of soil fauna were no significant difference among top, typical and bottom distribution areas of Pinus koraiensis mixed broad-leaved forest. The highest community diversity and evenness of soil fauna was recorded in typical distribution area. Group and individual numbers of soil fauna decreased with the increase of soil layer depth in a vertically distribution, which was significant in top and typical distribution areas. There were greater correlation coefficient among Oribatida, Actinedida, Isotomidae, Hypogastruridae, Gamasida and Pseudachorutidae, and they were all found in three distribution areas at the same time, and individual numbers of them were also more than others. The pH,organic matter, total P, total K and total N of soil had effects on the composition of soil fauna community. The difference in total K, total N, total P and organic matter content were significant in 0-30 cm soil layers among top, typical and bottom distribution areas of Pinus koraiensis mixed broad-leaved forest (p<0.001). Grey relevant analysis showed that total K, total N and organic matter content had more effects on the composition of soil fauna than pH and total P of soil. Environment factors had different effects on the key soil fauna community.

    Risk evaluation of flowing backward from the main stream in Xiaobei of the Huanghe (Yellow) River to the lower reacher of the Weihe River has become the significant work of flood prevention because of the dangerous situation of the flowing backwark. Based on the contrast of historical observed data and remote sensing images, using the inserting value calculation method, risk degree of flowing backward was evaluated and zoned. The results are as follows: 1) It is obvious that the larger the flood of the Huanghe River, the larger the area of inversely flow deposition, and the more the water level in the reaches of the Weihe River, vice versa. 2) The highest risk regions usually located in the eastness of Dali near by the main stream in Xiaobei of the Huang River and the riverside regions of Tongguan, Huayin, Huaxian, Weinan and Lintong. The higher risk regions are located in the northeastern part of Dali and the common boundary of Weinan and Lintong on the southness shore of mainstream watershed of the Weihe River. Then, the remainder is lower risk regions. 3) Westward moving of the estuary of the Weihe River to the Huang River and flowing backward are the cause-and-effect, which not only resultd in shrinking of the riverbed at the lower reaches of the Weihe River, but also reducing the ability of flood transflux. So there is a complexion of small flux, high water level and big disaster. 4) In order to reduce the risk degree of flowing backward, as the given result, the district regionalism and local protection must be broken to implement the integrated program of the watershed and to decline the Tongguan stage to stabilize the physiognomy at the estuary of the Weihe River to the Huang River.

    In this paper, the non-parametric Mann-Kendall test was used to analyze the tendency of runoff changes for upper stream of Naoli River in the Sanjiang Plain in 1956-2002, the abrupt change of runoff occurred in 1966 and the watershed runoff was divided the into two stages, that is, 1956-1966 and 1967-2002. The coefficient of variation was applied to testing the effect of the climatic element on the runoff reduction. The conclusions are arrived that the climatic factor is the main reason causing the reduction of runoff in the first stage while the human activities made the runoff decrease abruptly in the second stage. The IHACRES model was used to simulate the runoff in 1967-2002 and calculate the runoff reduced by human events. The results show that 11 years of the gauged annual runoff reduced more than 50% compared with the reference annual runoff in the second stage, and of which 10 years reduced from 30% to 50% and 11 years reduced from 10% to 30%, respectively.

    The aeolian sand belts are distributed extensively in Mainling great valley section of the Yarlung Zangbo River. Each belt can be divided into eroded area, erosion and deposition transition area, and deposition area by distinct aeolian sand activities. The two belts with aeolian sand activity were studied. The results show that sediments of the dune are mainly composed of fine sands with moderate sorting, fine skewness, and muti-modal grain size distribution. Grain size distribution on the surface of barchans can be attributed to the 'dune crest coarser’pattern as a whole with limited exception where grain size distribution shows a "finer crest" pattern. Spatial variations of grain size distribution among the barchans within the same aeolian sand belt were shown. Small barchans developed in the eroded area exhibit finer grain size, poor sorting, very fine skewness and multi-mode. In the erosion and deposition transition area and downwind deposition area, dune grain size becomes coarser with sorting better, fine skewness converting to nearly symmetry, and muti-mode grain size distribution pattern turning to be uni-mode.

    By scattering and absorbing solar and telluric radiation, dust aerosol has a direct impact on the Earth’s radiative balance. Their quantification is of utmost importance to assess the desert dust optical properties. Iron oxides minerals (especially hematite and goethite) contents are very low in aerosol particles, which are strong absorbers at ultra-violet and visible wavelengths. CBD method and diffuse reflectance are adapted to quantify and semi-quantify the free-iron oxides contents in the aerosols collected at Tazhong on 9-11 April, 2006 in the Hinterland of Taklimakan Desert. For these samples, the percentage of free-iron relative to the total estimated aerosol mass increased from 4.55% to 8.16% with an average of 6.36%. Total-iron content, free-iron content and free-to-total iron ratio are 5.16%, and 0.32%, respectively. The first derivatives of the reflectance spectra are consistent with signals from two iron-oxide minerals, hematite and goethite, at wavelengths of 560 nm and 435 nm, respectively.

    Spatial distribution of soil organic carbon density, storage and its change are researched under different land uses in the middle of Heihe River, based on the multi-methods of gathering field samples, laboratory analysis, GIS spatial analysis model and remote sensing. The results show that obvious spatial otherness of total soil carbon (TOC), active organic carbon (AOC), nonactive organic carbon (NOC) exist under different land uses. NOC density is consistent with TOC, but density of AOC is different. It indicates that impacts of land use changes on TOC, AOC and NOC are different. According to the calculation result, storage of TOC, AOC and NOC is 94.72 Tg, 45.12 Tg and 49.60 Tg in 1m depths, respectively. AOC account is for 47.63% and NOC is 52.36%. It’s found that the relationship between SOC and influencing factors is more authentic if AOC and NOC are introduced.

    Based on climatological data in Loess plateau from 1961 to 2008, the potential evapotranspiration of the growth period was computed by using revised Penman-Monteith Model. The spatial-temporal distribution, anomaly distribution and sub-regional temporal variations of the potential evapotranspiration in the growth period were analyzed at the same time. The results showed that the main spatial model of annual potential evapotranspiration of the growth period in Loess plateau is consistent anomaly distribution. In northwest regions of Loess plateau, the potential evapotranspiration of the growth period displayed a significant ascending trend and showed an abrupt change; in northeast and southeast regions of Loess plateau, the potential evapotranspiration of the growth period displayed a significant descending trend and showed an abrupt change too. In all these three regions, the potential evapotranspiration of the growth period shows an obvious fluctuating period of 3-4years.

    The term "Danxia Landform" was first identified and coined in China. Danxia Landform research in China is focused on primary theoretical research, scientific discussions of macro spatial distribution and qualitative description of the classification. New studies have recently been concerning quantitative,visualization and experimental research for Danxia Landform. Other countries do not currently refer to Danxia Landform as a reference for this unique type of landform very frequently, but foreign scholars have abundant research in sandstones, conglomerates, and red beds in micro, experiments, and quantitative areas. For comparisons with national and international research, Danxia Landforms should be applied as a primary example of macro and micro, qualitative and quantitative, theoretical and practical descriptions and analysis. It is instructive to use the term "Danxia Landform" as an acceptable international term when comparing and contrasting with other like landforms around the world.

    With global climate warming, the research on regional extreme climate change has remarkable significance. This paper, based on the meterological data of the 60 stations in Qinling Mountains, analyzed the spatio-temporal characteristics of average, extreme high and low temperature in northern and southern Qinling Mountains, using Mann-Kendall mutation test and Kriging interpolation. The results showed that the order of climate trend rate of average annual temperature is that the southern part of Shaanxi < Guanzhong < other regions of China;the relationship of climate trend rate of annual high temperature is that: Guanzhong < other regions of China < the southern part of Shaanxi. The order of climate of extreme low temperature is that the southern part of Shaanxi ≈Guanzhong < other regions of China. The mutation year of average annual temperature in the two areas was 1997, which is later than the other regions of China. But, extreme high temperature fluctuation is not significant. At the same time, the mutation year of extreme low temperature in the two areas was 1978. Qinling Mountains have the important geographical feature dividing line effect. The spatial distributions of average and extreme low temperature in the areas of Qinling Mountains display that the high temperature is in the southern area, but the slow temperature in the northern area, which are distributed along the latitudinal. Contrarily, the spatial distribution of extreme high temperature shows that it is high in the eastern area, but low one in the western area, which are distributed through the longitude.

    Quality evaluation of cultivated land is important in the guidance of agricultural production. Whether the evalution method is appropriate or not directly affects the scientificity of evaluation results. Through practical investigation, sample collection, and analysis, a total of 249 surficial paddy soil property data and 95 rice production data were collected in the study area of Yujiang County, Jiangxi Province. Expert opinion and the newly established Bio-Norm method were used to determine indicators, indicators’weight, and their relationship functions respectively, and then to evaluate the quality of paddy field land of the study area. The comparison between Bio-Norm method and EO showed that EO method was unstable, and the indicators selected by Bio-Norm method were more representative than that of EO method. The weights obtained from Bio-Norm method could better accurately reflect the importance of indicators. The relationship functions of Bio-Norm method could better reflect the actual requirements of rice growth. Evaluation results showed that regression coefficient of determination (R2) between cultivated land quality index (IIFI value) obtained from Bio-Norm method and rice yield was far higher than that of EO method, and the distribution of IIFI value obtained from Bio-Norm method and rice yield was more consistent in the region than that of EO method. Therefore, the Bio-Norm method is more scientific and reasonable than the EO method in evaluating the quality of cultivated land.
