    Located in the marginal belt of the southeast monsoon and ecotone, Daihai Lake has always been one of the most significant areas in the studies of paleoclimate change.Environmental proxies, such as TOC,δ13C org , carbonate contents, frequency dependent susceptibility and ostracoda fossils of sediment from Daihai Lake, Inner Mongolia, had been employed to reconstructed the paleoclimate evolution during the past thousand years.The environmental multiproxies indicated the cold humid climate, rather than cold dry climate in the early stage of the Little Ice Age(LIA).The last two cold periods of the LIA, recorded by the sediment, were in good agreement with those deduced by tree rings, ice core and historical literature.Based on the climate features in the last hundred years, this paper also advanced that human activities had become the main reason of the lake environmental deterioration in recent years.

    Based on hig resolution tree ring data from Dulan area of Qinghai Province, five spells have been divided: the warm period before 230’s A.D., the cold period between 240’s A.D.and 800’s A.D., the significantly warm period between 810’s A.D.and 1070’s, i.e. "Medieval Warm Period", the cold period including the "Little Ice Age" 1420’s-1870’s and the warming period since 1880’s.All the eleven coldest or warmest decades and several great abrupt changes took place before the Middle Ages, indicating that climatic system operated in great instability during the period 150’-1100’s A.D..Comparison of the tree ring data with other temperature proxy data from East China, Guliya ice core as well as the south of Qinghai Tibet Plateau shows that such great climatic events as Eastern Han warm period between the beginning of the 1st century and the previous fifty years of the third century, the cold period covering the span of Wei, Jin and the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the well known "Medieval Warm Period" as well as the "Little Ice Age" appeared in such series as East China and Dulan area.Only the first two climatic events were recorded conspicuously in Guliya ice core while the "Medieval Warm Period" and "Little Ice Age" is far weaker.Also, the well defined "Medieval Warm Period" didn’t occur in the south of Qinghai Tibet Plateau.The warming since the 20th century is the warmest in the last 200 years in Guliya ice core, the second in Dulan area and East China, but it scarcely seems pronounced in the eastern part of Qinghai Tibet Plateau.

    Spatial polarization and uneven development has been the center of attention and of heated debate over the years.Much of the research is focused on the shifts of capital, jobs and population from the old industrial core to new cores or to the periphery.The theories of polarization and polarization reversal are central to regional development in advanced industrial economics.As for polarization, the most significant indicator is the emergence, consolidation and widening of gap between the economic core and economic periphery within a region or a country.Confronted with equipment obsolescence, unionized labors force and high production costs, the old industrial core has emerged polarization reversal.The theories of polarization and polarization reversal suggest that in the old industrial core the leading sector role of manufacturing has diminished in old manufacturing poles, and that income growth trends differ substantially between these old poles and new centers of development.In summary, based on the framework of polarization and polarization reversal, we can observe the spatial variation within the old industrial core, new growth center and periphery region.Since the economic reforms of 1978, China has opened up to foreign investment but retained restrictions on labor migration until the beginning of 1990s.In recent years, some impacts of these reform and open policies in regional development have been observed.It is significant that regional inequality is enlarged between coastal and inland regions but also between urban and rural regions in China.Guangdong Province is one of the first provinces in the People’s Republic of China to benefit from the open door policy which is representative in this research.Usually, the regional dynamics literature has tended to pay more attention to state or macro regional variation of growth than to regional or local variation.By taking Guangdong province as a case, this paper gives a method of measuring regional polarization and discusses the spatial polarization of growth within a region in order to give a clear explanation to the process of regional polarization under socialist market system.The consequence shows that regional polarization is a dynamic process under socialist market system, the core role may disappear when the leading sector of manufacturing declines.It is found that the old central cities, such as Guangzhou Shaoguan, Zhanjiang, Shantou and Chaoyang experienced a gradual process of weakening of their roles in regions, and some new cities, for example, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Dongguan, Zhongshan, Shunde, Nanhai and Panyu became new regional growth centers.In general, the change of Guangdong’s regional structure can be described as a process of regional polarization.

    The Hutuo River has been strongly regulated after two large reservoirs were built on the river in 1959.The annual runoff and mean sediment concentration in the lower reaches of the river in the period from 1969 to 1988 were decreased by 13.7 and 9.2 times respectively than those in the period before 1960.In the recent over two decades, there were only small water flows down the reservoirs in flood season, and the river kept dry in the rest time of the year.The discharge of the lower Yellow River decreased by over 1/3 in the period 1986-1996 comparing with that in the 1950’s and the 1960’s, but the mean sediment concentration changed inconsiderably.The phenomenon of flow breaking occurred as early as 1972 in the river, and the time and coverage of flow breaking had increased steadily thenceforth.Therefore, two of them have become essentially seasonal rivers.The paper discusses the adaptive adjustment of channels of the Yellow River and the Hutuo River to the change from a permanent to a seasonal river.The analyses show that the channel was eroded upstream and silted downstream along the lower reaches of the Hutuo River and was cut in the lower part and uplifted in the upper part cross sectionally.Since the river has been nearly cut off the flow and sediment load, the natural heavy sediment accumulation before 1959 has disappeared, and the changes in channel geometry and sinuosity were not significant.However, the hydraulic coarseness of the channel has been nearly doubled as a result of the invasion of vegetation into the channel and other reasons, resulting in the frequent occurrence of large disasters caused by small discharges which were harmless before.In the case of the Yellow River, the concentrated sediment accumulation in main channel has taken place in recent years since the discharge of the river was lowered conspicuously.Although the channel was deepened in the braided reach, it was seriously uplifted and narrowed, with obvious decrease in capacity, in the overall lower reaches.The result of the channel adjustment was the obvious rising of water level of a certain discharge and the huge disasters occasioned by small floods in recent years.With the enhancement of regulation, the possibility of increase in hydraulic roughness of the channel of the Yellow River due to the invasion of vegetation as the case of the Hutuo River should be paid more attention.

    The study of lake evolution is one of the important aspects of study of global change.Inland lakes are influenced by climatic change more sensitively than lakes in humid area.It is significant to study the evolution of inland lakes.Gansu Corridor is located in the regional edge of the Eastern Asia Monsoon.Because it is sensitive to climatic change due to its fragile eco-environment, it is an ideal regied for studying global change.In the prehistoric period a large terminal lake——Zhuyeze Lake once existed in the studied area——Shiyang River drainage that is located in the eastern Gansu Corridor.Since the historic period it has gradually shrunk into many small lakes, and these small lakes dried up and disappeared in succession.This article first tries to inquire into terminal lake evolution in this studied area by combining techniques of GIS with the results of deposit study.Digital Terrain Model(DTM) of lake area in the lower reaches of the Shiyang River is built.Space time evolution of terminal lakes was analyzed and the lake area of different periods in Holocene was calculated according DTM.The precipitation of two periods during Holocene was calculated by a mathematical model which applies to an ideal situation of terminal lake in the Shiyang River drainage, following the water and energy budget principle under the situation that no lake exists now.Preliminary results indicate that water levels reached 1320 m and 1314 m in 5000 a B.P.and 3600 a B.P.during Holocene, and terminal lake areas are 2130 km2 and 870 km2.Landforms around the basin reflected in the DTM suggest that if the water level reaches 1320-1330m, the Shiyang River drainage will become an outflow drainage.The lake of 2130 km2 maybe is the largest lake in this drainage.During late Holocene after 3600 a B.P., the large terminal lake broke into two parts.According to the model of water and energy budget in the Shiyang River drainage, precipitation of above two periods was 250-256 mm and 186-188 mm, more than that of modern time by 49%-52% and 11%-12% respectively.And a lake of 580 km2 would have appeared in the basin if there were no human activities in this area under modern climate situations.Analysis of sensitivity factors of the model indicates that temperature and vaporpressure have less effect on precipitation than cloudiness, albedo and the Bowen ratio.Compared to other regions, the Shiyang River drainage is more sensitive to climate variations.

    According to case study and sampling,this thesis researches farmland use in southwest China karst mountain area.The results show that because of the soil layer being too thin and freely aerated as well as waterleakage of the parent layer,the soil fertility reduces distinctly,drought and other natural disasters become more serious,yields strongly depend on chemical fertilizer after long-term improper reclamation and cultivation.On condition that large quantity of chemical fertilizer application,the farmland only keeps about 30% organic matter after about 60 years’cultivation in contrast with the uncultivated land.The yields are highest and very stable whene the rate of reclaimed land is about 20% to 30% and the percentage of forest cover is about 35% to 45%.If the gradient of the original land is steeper than 16° and the soil layer is about 50-80cm thick or thinner,the effect to keep soil-water and nutrient by building terraced fields can only relief drought slightly and is not at all the effective way to solve karst drought.Through comprehensive analysis,it is considered that sustainable use of calcic farmland in karst mountain must be based firstly on proper rate of reclaimed land;secondly on proper percentage of forest cover;thirdly on reasonable fertilizer application and lastly on effective soil conservation.The key to realize this aim is to establish eco-agricultural system.And the prerequisite for that is to reduce the farm land acreage and population in the area.

    We do our researches by taking Changshu City as an example.Firstly, we establish an indicator system of Changshu SARD, which includes 28 input and 30 output indicators.In establishing the indicator system, we act upon the basic thoughts of SARD that sustainable agriculture and rural development is synthetic outputs of various inputs containing resources, environment, manpower and economic factors.That is to say, not only direct economic inputs, but the use of resources and the burden of environment are regarded as input factors; meanwhile, the outputs not only contain economic and social factors, but contain the factors of environmental quality.And based on the framework of this indicator system, we establish a database of sustainable agriculture and rural development of Changshu(CSSARD) and an auxiliary database(ACSSARD), and standardize them through efficacy function.Then using the model mentioned above, we appraise the results of sustainable agriculture and rural development in Changshu from 1990 to 1997.It is shown that the degree of the developing deviation to the best possibility in the 8 years is respectively 0.25, 0.28, 0.10, 0.17, 0.12, 0.08, 0.17, 0.19.That is to say, the developing situation in 1995 is the most satisfied, while that in 1991 is the most unsatisfied.In the end of the paper, through dynamic simulation on computer, we get three different input plans:(1) laying emphasis on technology and economics, which stresses high benefits";(2) laying emphasis on operation of manpower resources, which stresses intensification"; and(3) synthetic balancing plan, which is designed by comprehensively adhering to the connotation of model of high benefits, intensification and sustainability.As an example, the concrete planning data in 2000 is given in the paper.

    Tufa landscape is an important component of the world karst landforms.Owing to its tremendous scale, peculiar form and wonderful colour, tufa landscape becomes very valuable karst tour resources.For example, Plitvice national park of Yugslavia, Jiuzhaigou, Huangguoshu and Maling gorge of China.All of them are famous scenic spots which take tremendous scale tufa landscapes as the main scenic body.Many reports had explained formation process of tufa landscapes.The vast majority of research workers think that formation process of tufa landscapes is controlled mainly by karst water and landform place related to karst water current, and organisms only participate in(e.g.organisms absorb CO2 through photosynthesis and result in CaCO3 deposit in water) or controlled the formation of small tufa shapes.Very few research workers understand the organisms control role of tufa landscapes(large tufa shape) which should not be ignored.However, through a lot of on the spot surveies and laboratory researches of the tufa landscape in Jiuzhaigou, Sichuan and Huangguoshu, Guizhou etc., it is believed that organisms(Cyanophyta, Chlorophyta) are associated closely with deposits and form algae mats, which not only play key role to generation and formation process of tufa are on a cause position, but also control exceedingly the formation scale of tufa landscape through repeated layered accumulation and side extension of mats.Therefore, formation process of tufa landscape is controlled by organisms, topography and hydrology.Among them, organisms are on an important or center position.Models of formation process of main tufa landscapes(waterfall tufa, dam tufa and beach tufa, as tour resources) are put forward in the paper.Studying organisms control role of tufa landscape has important theoretical value in Biokarst, Sedimentology and Karst geomorphology and new guide role to scientific protection and utilization of tufa landscape tour resources.This paper is composed of two parts.Frist part is the base shape of tufa landscapes and analyses and models of its shape formation process.Tufa landscapes are mainly waterfall tufa, dam tufa and beach tufa.Waterfall tufa often appear on Knick point of considerable drop river.e.g.Shuzheng waterfall tufa and Luorinang waterfall tufa(in Jiuzhaigou, Sichuan), Huangguoshu waterfall tufa(in Guizhou).These waterfall tufas often consist of a lot of tufa bodies whose shapes are diverse.some show cone and hang on waterfall wall, for example, Huangguoshu waterfall tufa,top of cone tufa bodies often adhere to the place where direction of flowing water in river change suddenly; Some show mushroom’s head shape, lung’s lobe shape, broom shape etc.It is hollow between some tufa bodies and bedrock, and form tufa cave.Some tufa bodies cover tightly bedrock, and are solid.It is closely related to the slope of rock under tufa bodies that tufa bodies are hollow or solid.Formation process of waterfall landscape is explained in the paper throught explaining an instance of formation process of typical cone Huangguoshu waterfall tufa(abbreviate "cone tufa").Dam tufa often appear on Knick point and protuberance of river.Beach tufa often appear on slope and beach of river.The article analyses models of these tufas formation process.It is thought that organisms are the main "builder" of these tufa.So these tufa may be named biotufa.Second part of the paper is the conclusion.
