文摘Bare patches in alpine meadow are the main manifestation of its degradation.The change of bare patches in an alpine meadow in the Yellow River Source Zone during 2018-2019 was studied in relation to the disturbances caused by plateau pika(Ochotona curzoniae)population and simulated grazing via artificial mowing both independently and interactively.The disturbance was set at three levels of high,medium and no disturbance(control group).Bare patches were mapped by from unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)images with fine resolution of 1 cm obtained in August 2018 and August 2019 in ArcGIS.The results showed that the total area of bare patches decreased by 112.05 m2 in sub-plots devoid of pika disturbance but increased by 126.37 m2 in other subplots.The highest rate of increase is 89.02%.The individual effect of pika exceeds the joint effect of pika and mowing disturbances.The sole effect of mowing is lower than the joint effect of pika disturbance and intensive mowing,but higher than the joint influence of pika disturbance and moderate mowing.Strong pika disturbance(14 per sub-plot)caused the influence of mowing from moderate to intensive to increase by five-fold.The area of bare patches treated with moderate mowing and no pika disturbance decreased at the highest pace(-37.22%).Intensive mowing and medium density pikas(100 pikas/ha)are considered the thresholds at which the bare patches start to expand.Even if the meadow is mowed at the medium and high intensity,the area of bare patches can be significantly reduced if plateau pika population is controlled to a low level.ANOVA analysis and longterm macro-scale satellite-derived results reveal that pika disturbance is more important in causing the bare patches to change than simulated grazing.Therefore,it is more important to control the number of pikas than to reduce grazing intensity to prevent the expansion of bare patches in the degraded alpine meadow in the study area.
文摘在空气绝缘变电站(air insulated substations,AIS)中,为了研究隔离开关分合空载母线产生的空间电磁环境对站内一次侧电子设备的影响,需要在实际变电站现场进行大量重复实验以获得空间电磁环境变化规律,但这对正常电力运维是不现实的。文中设计了可以模拟实际隔离开关操作产生的瞬态电磁场的隔离开关模拟骚扰源,利用该源对110 kV AIS隔离开关分合操作产生的电场随母线参数、隔离开关触头距离、电源容量进行研究。研究结果表明:该系统可以产生频率在0.9~2 MHz左右、强度在6~20 kV的空间瞬态电场,与现有文献报道的110 k V AIS站隔离开关操作实测瞬态电场数据相吻合。
