Smaller tubes are attached on the outside of the most dangerous side columns to serve as wall purlin. These horizontal smaller tubes provide lateral braces to side columns in practice, but this effect is lacking of theoretical supporting. The paper carried out an analysis of the efficiency of the tube in providing the lateral support. Analysis revealed that, though the smaller tubes are eccentric to the centroid of the column, the lateral braces to the column could still be effective. The out of plane effective length could be decreased accordingly. According to this conclusion, the out of plane effective length could take the distance between the lateral braces when checking the stability of the column. In this way, the checking calculation of the side column could be more scientific and reasonable on the bases of less material application and proper strength and stability of the side column.

A navigation software was developed in VC++ 6.0. Crop rows were separated from soil background by image pre-processing, and the localization points were got by vertical projection. The world coordinates of each localization point were computed according to the principle of perspective transformation and the camera calibration results. With the parallel characteristic of crop rows, an improved algorithm based on Hough Transform was employed for the detection and localization of crop rows. The experiment with images of crop rows and the simulation experiment in laboratory showed that the new algorithm took 219.4 ms to process a 320×240 pixels color image, and the average errors of navigation distance and navigation angle were 2.33 mm and 0.3°. The experimental results confirmed that the algorithm was accurate, effective and fast enough to detect and localize crop rows for real-time navigation.

For that, four global land cover products were firstly compared with the national land cover dataset 2000 (NLCD-2000) at provincial, regional and national scales to evaluate the accuracies of estimation of aggregated cropland area in China. This was followed by a spatial comparison to assess their accuracies in estimating the spatial distribution of cropland across China. The results showed that there were varying levels of apparent discrepancies in estimating China's cropland among these four global datasets, and that both aggregated areas and spatial agreement between them varied from region to region. MODIS and GLC2000 datasets had a relatively higher accuracy in depicting China's cropland than UMD and IGBP-DISCover datasets. The coarse spatial resolution and per pixel classification approach, as well as landscape heterogeneity, are the main reasons for large discrepancies between these four global land cover datasets and NLCD-2000 dataset.

Based on the daily meteorological data over the past 30 years from more than 200 stations in China and the statistical data of crop growth stages from different areas, crop water requirement (ETc) and net irrigation requirement (IR) of 30 kinds of crops were estimated by using FAO Penman-Monteith equation and crop coefficient method. The results were validated with the observed data form different irrigation stations in different areas. Isolines of the average ETc and IR of main crops were obtained by GIS and IDW interpolation methods. The spatial distribution characteristics of ETc and IR for wheat, maize, cotton and rice were analyzed, which were the most widely planted crops in China. The irrigation requirement indexes of main crops in different areas were obtained by IR/ETc. Results revealed that mean irrigation requirement index in Northeast China, middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and South China were generally less than 0.5, and the crop irrigation water requirement in these areas was not high. In North China Plain, Inner Mongolia, Ningxia, Shanxi, Shaanxi and Gansu, 30%-50% of the crop water requirements depended on irrigation for dryland crops, 55%-80% of water consumption came from irrigation for rice. In Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, the irrigation requirement indexes of main crops were over 0.7, and the development of agriculture relied entirely on irrigation.

The results of analyzing the chemical composition showed that the contents of free amino acids in green tea juice extracted by UHPP in the same ratio of green tea to solvent were higher than those by cold water extraction and hot water extraction, but the contents of water-soluble saccharide were lower than those by cold water extraction and hot water extraction. The yield of tea polyphenols by ultrahigh pressure was higher than that by cold extraction. The analysis of chromatic aberration showed that the degree of yellow-green of the juice extracted by ultrahigh pressure was deeper than that by cold water extraction and hot water extraction. The ultrahigh pressure had a passive effect on activities of polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase.

An iodine-starch staining method was applied to visualize flow paths and solute transport, then totally 12 infiltration experiments under flood irrigation and micro-irrigation were conducted in the loam field and clay field respectively. Irrigation efficiency was evaluated using various indictors, including the application efficiency, deep percolation ratio, storage efficiency, and irrigation uniformity. Results showed that the redistribution of infiltration water was mainly attributed to the wetting patterns. Storage efficiency and irrigation uniformity increased with the increasing of irrigation amount, and the deep percolation ratio also increased significantly. Uniformity and deep percolation loss rate of solute distributions were less than that of the water distributions respectively. Redistributions of water and solute after infiltration provided more direct and comprehensive assessment for irrigation efficiency.

The evaluation system of GIS-based wheat natural potential productivity was designed and developed by using UML 2.0, SQL Server 2000 and SuperMap GIS 2008 components, which realized loose coupling between the potential productivity evaluation model interfaces and GIS. The system calculated quantificationally wheat natural potential productivity at county scale by using mechanism models of light, temperature, water, soil based on 'experience-statistics', and made the spatial distribution thematic maps of wheat natural potential productivity through classification statistics and grading cartography. The results showed that photosynthesis potential productivity reduced along with latitude increasing, the order of temperature potential productivity was west>south>southeast>north>center, the order of moisture potential productivity was south>southeast>west>center>north, and the order of soil potential productivity was south>center>north>southeast>west of Henan Province. The key factors affecting wheat natural potential productivity were soil, followed by temperature and moisture, and the factors affecting wheat relative production mining magnitude were moisture, followed by temperature and soil. The system has characteristics about wide applicability and good independence, which provides technical support and ADM for wheat production management and potential mining.

The system consisted of a signal generator unit and a detection unit. The former unit could output sinusoidal signal with automatic frequencies scanning, which is range from 0.1 kHz to 250 kHz. The detection unit included detection electrodes and a gain and phase detector. In this work, the performance of six-needle steel electrodes and four-needle graphite electrodes in detecting bio-impedance was compared. Also, coefficients of variability (CVs) were applied to assess the stability of the system. Experiment showed that the coefficient of variation (CV) of the system was less than 6% if the frequency was above 1 kHz. Intra class correlation (ICC) procedures were applied to assess the reliability of the system due to temperature variability. Values of Ri, Re, C in the system model were reliable with intra class correlations of more than 65%. Furthermore, pork samples were selected to investigate relation between bio-impedance spectroscopy and meat quality attributes, i.e. meat freshness. Results showed that bio-impendence value, real part value of bio-impendence, imaginary part value of bio-impendence and characteristics frequency of pork decreased with the change of meat freshness.

A new method was developed to solve the problem of a part of defects easily being mistaken for the background when the fruits with defects were segmented from the background. First the B-component image of navel orange was extracted and built mask, then R-component image was masked by B-component image, thus 100% fruits and background segmentation with intact defects was achieved. Considering false segmentation of defects owing to the lower edge gray values of spherical fruits, an algorithm of fast fruit image edge gray value compensation was advanced. Using this algorithm, six kinds of common defects of navel orange, for a total of 220 images, setting the threshold for 165, the defects of different gray value was successfully segmented at one time. The highest segmentation rate was 100% and the lowest was 79.5%. Test results showed that the segmentation efficiency of the defects was improved as a result of the use of a single threshold.

The reclamation of polluted soils is becoming more important to improve environmental protection and to prompt agricultural production in these areas. In the present study, total of nine treatments of different amount of lime (0, 25 and 50 kg/m<sup>2</sup>) was used as isolation layer in the flat slag heap, and then the isolation layer was covered with different amount of non-contamination soil (30, 45 and 60 cm), respectively. During the following two years, bean (Phaseolus angularis), Chinese cabbage (Brassica chinensis), maize (Zea mays) and potato (Solanum tuberosum) were planted, concentrations of some metals (Zn, Pb, Cd) in soils and the edible part of the crops were determined to assess the effects of reclamation by statistical analysis of One-Way ANOVA (LSD). The results indicated that metal concentrations in edible part of the crops were decreased by the treatments of limestone isolation layer; maize had the lowest enrichment factor of heavy metals among the four crops, while Chinese cabbage had the highest content, demonstrating that maize was more suitable to be cultivated compared with the others, lime as isolation layer could significantly reduce the accumulation of heavy metals in the edible part of the crops, and 25 kg/m<sup>2</sup> lime isolation layer combined with 30 cm non-contamination soil cover showed the effective reclamation result.

Selection of suitable sampling numbers of soil water is the base for economical and accurate evaluation of soil water distribution uniformity after irrigation. Field measurement of soil moisture distribution was measured in the cotton field under subsurface drip irrigation in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, 2 days after irrigation when the soil moisture had reached a relative stability. Relationship between sampling numbers and soil moisture distribution characteristics, and soil water distribution uniformity were analyzed. Results showed that the coefficient C<inf>u</inf> of soil water distribution was close to its mean value with increasing of samples. From the quantitative analysis of samples, the mean of C<inf>u</inf> was not obvious change as sample number increase from 15 to 60. Under the condition of experiment, the desirable number of samples should be more than 24 for field soil moisture monitoring and evaluation. There was a significant relevance between C<inf>u</inf> and the distribution uniformity (D<inf>u</inf>). But a certain deviation occured between the coefficients derived from the measured data and that recommended by the United States Department of Agriculture. And this should be taken into account when such exchange formula was used. Using uniform 25-point sampling method, soil water distribution of subsurface drip irrigation in cotton fields was evaluated. Results showed that soil moisture uniformity in the vicinity of drip line (20-40 cm) was lower than that in the upper and below layer of drip line before irrigation, and would increase after irrigation, compared with the upper and lower layers. Soil moisture variation near the drip line is the largest in the soil under subsurface drip irrigation.

Aiming at food security, prime farmland protection target of Jiangsu Province was assigned to each county based on a combinatorial evaluation method. The results showed that social and economic factors weighted much more than soil quality and grain production in the assignation. With rapid urbanization and industrialization, most of the counties in Jiangsu Province had reached a precipice of farmland lost and desiderated a transformation of development model to an intensive one.

According to the test data, quality evaluation indicators for rotating sprinklers were sieved by means of cluster analysis and principal component analysis. Effectiveness and applicability of two methods were given in comparative analysis. Results showed that the quantitative sieving results of two methods are basically similar, and spraying range and height have the maximum correlation among seven common quality evaluation indicators for rotating sprinklers. Spraying height could be deleted, while spray range should be reserved in the quality evaluation indicators for the common sprinklers with middle and low spray ranges for field irrigation. The cluster analysis focused on the correlation between two indicators, whereas principal component analysis focused on the correlation among total indicators, therefore the latter was seemly more effective for quantitative sieving of quality evaluation indicators for the rotating sprinklers and other water saving irrigation products.

Moreover, the atomization quality of fuel injection is the most important factor affecting combustion process. Therefore, spray characteristics of bio-diesel, diesel and the mixture of bio-diesel and diesel were studied in this paper. Spray field of bio-diesel and mixed fuel in a model cylinder were measured by PDPA (Phase Doppler Particle Analyzer). Test data such as distribution of velocity, diameter of oil drop and concentration in the spray field were obtained. The results show that the diameter of nozzle orifice gives a great impact on atomization beyond the core area of the spray. The smaller the orifice diameter, the better the spray atomization. The injection pressure have little influences on the spray field of bio-diesel. Compared with fossil diesel fuel, bio-diesel performed worse spray characteristics. SMD (Sauter mean diameter) of bio-diesel is bigger than that of fossil diesel fuel under the same condition. The higher the pump speed is, the smaller the diameter and fluctuation velocity of droplet are.

Remote sensing is a powerful tool for protecting cultivated land by means of accurate inspecting the urban expansion and land use cover and change in time. Combined with the principle of general Monte Carlo, the relationships among cultivated land, road, urban expansion, GDP and industry economic structure were analyzed deeply using BP artificial neural networks based on TM remote sensing images, land use map and yearbook of Zhangjiagang City in several years. The results demonstrated that the cultivated land area decreased about 2.5% per year in the past ten years, however the general agriculture output had a small rebound after 2002, this attributed to the government optimized policy to land use and restructure of agriculture and industry. The expansion trends of Zhangjiagang City was the spread of multi-core along the road. Cultivated land within 2 km far from the main road and city zone was most likely changed into the urban area, especially within 500 meters. The rapid development of economic resulted in an increased transformation probability of cultivated land to urban land. However, transformation probability decreased gradually with the balance between urban land and cultivated land. So the relationship between transformation probability and GDP present an inverted "U" curve. In conclusion, BP-MC networks deal with training set of a large number of pixels, this avoids artificial neural network stepping into the local minimum point, and it is an effective method to analyze the drive factors of urban expansion quantitatively.

The study show that 20.6% of HCH and 13.8% of DDT volatilized due to high temperature and ventilation during the period of composting, which accelerated the volatilization of HCH and DDT to gas phase within 30 days. Apart from the effect of high temperature and ventilation on the volatilization of organochlorine pesticides, the degradation rates of HCH and DDT in the treatment without microbial inoculums were 37.2% and 14.9%, respectively. The degradation rates of HCH and DDT in the treatment with microbial inoculums were 42.1% and 24.2%, respectively. The significant difference between the treatment without microbial inoculums and the one with microbial inoculums was found. The degradation rates of α-HCH and θ-HCH were higher than those of β-HCH and γ-HCH. The degradation rates of pp'-DDT and op'-DDT were higher than those of pp'-DDD and pp'-DDE. The results indicate that high temperature and ventilation accelerated the volatilization of HCH and DDT to the gas phase during the composting and the biochemical reactions in this process contributed to the degradation of organochlorine pesticides such as HCH and DDT.

And the film load capacity and leakage increase obviously, but frictional torque decreases obviously in the condition of small film thickness. By contraries, the influence of elastic deformation on lubricating characteristics could be neglected in the condition of large film thickness beyond the film thickness 15 μm.

Scaling and rotation operations were added to the parameter index list establishment, which enlarged the representative ranges of sample. And the method of "shape similarity degree" was adopted to primarily select scaling index and rotation index of images awaiting recognization, which could effectively reduce the searching scope. Properly increasing step size of gradient index could avoid excessive dispersion of array in accumulator, and make it easy to search the final reference point coordinates. The experiment demonstrated that the depth recovering results for large target and small target were decreased by 4.0 and 7.9 percentage points, respectively, by using improved generalized Hough transforms, and this method is feasible and effective to recognize different pose and partially occluded eggplant fruits.

The emergy analysis of the CDM project was conducted and its emergy sustainability evaluation indexes were established with the emergy theory. As the case of 25 MW biomass direct combustion power generation CDM project in Central China, the system's sustainable performance was evaluated. The results showed that the CDM project could bring the benefit of 2.51 million US dollars annually for greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction. Because the benefit effectively increased the emergy yield ratio and reduced the environmental load of the power generation system, the system had not only been higher competitiveness, the emergy sustainability indexes of the system could be increased to 6.45 which can cause the system to be in the potential and sustainable development process for a long time.

It is crucial to detect the salinity of saline soils accurately and dynamicly in time in order to prevent soil salinization and achieve sustainable development in agriculture. Taking Changling County western Songnen Plain, as the example, this paper constructed remote sensing predictive model of saline soils using hyperspectral data. The salinity was measured by electric conduction method, and hyperspectral data was collected using ASD spectrometer. Derivative transformation of spectral reflectance was used to select best spectral bands which can represent the salinity of saline soils, e.g. 550, 720, 760, 820 and 940 nm. The best performance was achieved in the 5-6-1 architecture (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.895, RMSE = 0.089) in 72 different architectures in the three- and four-layer networks. Compared with traditional regression model (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.81, RMSE = 0.25), the method combining hyperspectral data with artificial neural network can improve the predictive accuracy of saline soil, showing that artificial neural network is prominently advanced in establishing the relationships between spectral reflectance and soil parameters.

One of the main constraints is the pesticide residues in apples. The ultrasonic removal of organochlorine pesticide residues in apples was studied, and the response surface method was applied to analyze the influence of ultrasonic power, degradation time and degradation temperature on the removal rate. The influence of main quality indexes in apples caused by ultrasonic wave was also studied. The results indicated that: (1) The optimum removal conditions of organochlorine pesticide residues in apples were as follows: the ultrasonic power 609.16 W, the removal time 70.46 min, the removal temperature 15.45°C, and under this condition, the removal rate of organochlorine pesticide residues in theory could reached to 64.32%; (2) The rigidity of apples was not significant between the 17 groups of sonication samples and CK; whereas, the total sugar, total acid had a significant impact, but did not exceed national standards and apple quality standards of major exporter. Ultrasonic is an easy and quick handling technology, and can remove organochlorine pesticide residues effectively, enhance the safety of apple greatly. It is easy and available to couple with the cleaning, grading and waxing of fresh apple at present, and its industrialization has very broad prospects.

The relationship between integrated indicator rate and crop yield showed integrated indicator rate was significantly correlated with crop yield in the range of 67.8 m, and the greater integrated indicator rate was, the greater yield was. Their kriging maps indicated the distribution of integrated indicator rate was similar to that of yield. Integrated indicator rate could explain 58.4% of yield variation which was 17.4% more than the result of multivariate step regression analysis. Both multivariate step regression analysis of soil moisture and nutrients and crop yield and simple regression analysis of integrated indicator rate and crop yield indicated that soil moisture and nutrients could explain 33.3%-58.4% of yield variation which was 0-5.2% more than only considering soil nutrients, and meanwhile soil moisture and nutrients of both seedling stage and grain-filling stage could explain 41%-58.4% of yield variation, 4.3%-16.5% more than considering soil moisture and nutrients of either seedling stage or grain-filling stage. Integrated indicator rate provides a method for describing spatio-temporal variability of soil moisture and nutrients and their relationships with crop yield. Its kriging map is a useful tool of integratedly evaluating soil moisture and nutrient status, and provides an available reference for implementation of precision agriculture by comparing with the kriging map of yield.

During the period of storage, respiration rate and the activities of some disease resistance-related enzyme such as polyphenol oxidase (PPO), peroxidase (POD), phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) were measured. Meanwhile, fruit color, firmness, V<inf>c</inf> and phenolic substances content as well as decay rate of quality index were analyzed. The results indicated that natamycin treatments with/without V<inf>c</inf> extended the storage period of up to 10 d or more. In particular, treatment with 10 mg/L natamycin + 100 mg/L V<inf>c</inf> significantly increased PPO, POD, PAL activity and the polyphenol content, reduced fruit respiration rate and decay rate, and maintained a high V<inf>c</inf> content and firmness. The individual natamycin treatment also had a certain role in regulating metabolism and preservation, while the sole V<inf>c</inf> treatment had no obvious effects on disease control. These data suggest that natamycin combined with V<inf>c</inf> treatment may be used as natural preservatives in the practical application of sweet cherry storage and transportation.

The results of testing showed that relation of water content and kernel broken rate was quadratic function, and the broken rate of kernel was increased with the increasing or reducing of the water contents. The broken rate of kernel was increased with the increasing of feeding quantity. When the feeding quantity was less than 0.9 kg/s, the broken rate of kernel was stable and unaffected by the feeding quantity; the broken rate of kernel was also increased with the increasing of the rotating speed of straight roller. There was significantly interactive effect for broken rate of kernel among the three influence factors. The value of kernel broken rate reached minimum with kernel water contents 18%, feeding quantity 0.9 kg/s and the rotating speed of straight roller 200 r/min. This research has important meanings for future research on mechanism of seed corn thresher and parameters optimization of threshing system, and it also is useful for developing threshing technology with low damage.

Erosion-related parameters in the current conceptual erosion models are determined either by calibration based on long series of sediment data at watershed outlets or by referring to the related empirical parameter values. This paper presented a conceptual soil erosion model which did not need long series of sediment records at watershed outlets to calibrate parameters. The model incorporated a conceptual soil erosion module, which was based on the empirical relationship between the discharge and sediment yield observed from experimental plots, into a physically-based distributed hydrology model, WetSpa Extension. The model had been tested in three watersheds in the purple soil region in China. The results of simulated discharge and sediment at outlets as well as spatial distribution of erosion rates were satisfactory. The model was also proved to be applicable in similar watersheds nearby and useful in assessing the effect of soil and water conservation practices. This conceptual model provides a new option for areas with sparse sediment data series at watershed outlets, and it has a great potential in assisting watershed management.

Therefore, retrieving LAI quantitatively based on remote sensing technology is concerned by many researchers. We proposed a BP-ANN based method to retrieve winter wheat LAI using surface reflectance data of MODIS. The MODIS pixel is assumed to be composed by crop canopy and bare soil. The SAILH (Light Scattering by Arbitrarily Inclined Leaves including the Hotspot-effect) model was used to simulate the directional reflectance of crop canopy, and the bare soil was assumed to be Lambertian. Series LAI maps of winter wheat in Shunyi District, Beijing were retrieved using this method during April in 2001. The research indicated that this method can be used well to retrieve LAI in large area scale, which is valuable to monitor crop growth.

In this work, sodium hydroxide (NaOH) catalyzed transesterification of rapeseed oil with methanol was carried out in a bench scale experimental reactor. The effects of molar ratio of methanol to rapeseed oil (4:1-8:1), catalyst concentration (0.5%-2%), reaction temperature (30-70°C) and reaction time (30- 150 min) on the conversion rate of transesterification were investigated. Composition of biodiesel was determined by using GC/MS analysis. Results showed that the suitable parameters for reactions were as follows: temperature 50-60°C, molar ratio of methanol to rapeseed oil 6:1, NaOH concentration 1% and reaction time 60 min with highest conversion rate of transesterification 96.7%. In addition, it was found that biodiesel was mainly consisted of 9-octadecenoic acid (z)-, methyl esters, 13-docosenoic acid (z)-, methyl esters, 9, 12-octadecadienioc acid, methyl esters, 11-eicosenoic acid, methyl esters and 9, 12, 15-octadecatrienoic acid, methyl esters.

Soil infiltration course and hydrological properties were determined in field and laboratory. After wastewater irrigation, the change of the soil pH value, soil salt content and soil hydrologic-physical properties were observed. The results were showed that: 1) After wastewater irrigation, the mean reduction of soil pH value was 6.0%. In 1 irrigation time and 2 irrigation times treatments, soil salt content decreased by 11.7%, and soil salt content increased by 12.6% in 3-4 irrigation times treatments. 2) After irrigation, the mean reduction of soil bulk density was 6.5%, and the mean increment of soil total porosity was 18.1%. With the irrigation frequency increasing, soil density was decreased and soil total porosity was increased. 3) Soil infiltration course of reed field irrigated by wastewater fitted Horton infiltration model well. After wastewater irrigation, the first infiltration rate decreased, but the stable infiltration rate promoted with the wastewater irrigation frequency increasing. 4) Soil water-holding capacity was increased by wastewater irrigation. The maximum water-holding capacity in capillary was 90.15 mm in the treatment of irrigation 3 irrigations, and the maximum water-holding capacity in non-capillary was 4.15 mm in treatment of 4 irrigations. The papermaking wastewater irrigation had obvious benefits to reduce soil salinity, improve soil hydrologic-physical properties and enhance soil infiltration and water-holding capacity. However, there was the significant different in soil properties between treatments. These results provide the scientific basis for determining suitable irrigation frequency and the irrigation volume of papermaking wastewater in saline reed field of Yellow River Delta, which is of great significance to the exploitation and utilization of papermaking wastewater resources.

Seven indexes such as precipitation, maximum rainfall intensity, rainfall duration, initial soil water content, soil bulk density, soil porosity and underlaying surface were selected as input variable, and the amount of infiltration as output variable. Results show that the mean relative error of the prediction is 11.08%, and t test and regression analysis indicates that the predicted value differs just slightly from the observed value and their correlation coefficient was 0.9715. The model is quite high in accuracy and stability, and serves as useful tool in further research on prediction of infiltration of nature rainfall on slopes.

Taking the Houzhaihe Valley in Puding County, Guizhou Province, Southwestern China as an example, the landscape pattern changes of Karst rocky desertification in the recent 18 years in Karst plateau area were studied from the perspective of different rocky desertification levels, based on 3 series of remote sensing images (TM images of 1987 and 1995 and SPOT-5 image of 2004), and applying GIS technique and statistics analysis methods. Results indicated that, as a whole landscape, the intensity and rate of rocky desertification land were increasing in the recent 18 years. The increasing rate of rocky desertification were 6.55 hm<sup>2</sup>/a from 1987 to 1995, and 29.64 hm<sup>2</sup>/a from 1995 to 2004. Different rocky desertification levels had shown different change tendencies. The area of light rocky desertification land reduced at first (from 1987 to 1995) and then increased (from 1995 to 2004), while the area of moderate and severe rocky desertification land increased continuously from 1987 to 2004.

The effect of drought on production function of cultivated land in Beijing was evaluated. Firstly, the drought conditions were characterized by the surface wetting index (SWI), and the typical drought periods were identified using Mann-Kendall testing method. Then natural potential productivity of non-changed cultivated land was calculated with meteorological data using Thornthwaite Memorial model. Finally, the effect of drought on natural potential productivity of cultivated land was analyzed. Main conclusions were as follows: From 1951 to 2006, the SWI decreased with some fluctuation. The drought was significant during the periods of 1979-1984 and 1998-2006. Annual mean potential productivity was 1043 g/(m<sup>2</sup>·a) in 1979, 912 g/(m<sup>2</sup>·a) in 1984, 1 085 g/(m<sup>2</sup>·a) in 1998, and 872 g/(m<sup>2</sup>·a) in 2006. The natural potential productivity in Tongzhou County was bigger than those in other counties, but that in Yanqing County was the smallest. The drought had great impacts on natural potential productivity. The total potential productivity loss exceeded 10% during the period of 1979-1984, and accounted for nearly 20% during the period of 1998-2006. Therefore, the government should simultaneously take into account the quantity and distribution of the cultivated land, and the impacts of climatic fluctuation especially the drought on the production function in the cultivated land management.

Hourly ET<inf>0</inf> and 24-hour accumulated daily ET<inf>0</inf> were calculated based on hourly meteorological data and evaluated by using daily observed grass evapotranspiration derived from well watered lysimeter experiment. There was a certain difference between ET<inf>0</inf> calculated by FAO56 Penman-Monteith equation and that by ASCE Penman-Monteith equation, and the difference was more significant when the ET<inf>0</inf> values were relative higher. Hourly ET<inf>0</inf> were tested to be lower for FAO56 Penman-Monteith equation than for ASCE Penman-Monteith equation in daytime, but just reversed at night. That was ascribed to the difference in Cd values. It was a pity to say that the equation mended by ASCE could not result in improvement in hourly ET<inf>0</inf> calculation, when the 24-hour accumulated daily ET<inf>0</inf> were compared with observed daily grass evapotranspiration. Daily ET<inf>0</inf> calculated by Penman-Monteith equation based on meteorological data at daily time step were test to be the most consistent with that by lysimeter observed.

Qixia City, Shandong Province was selected as the study area, and reflective spectral data of 120 apple florescence canopies were obtained. Based on the effects of different sample numbers on reflective spectral, the reflective spectral characteristics of apple florescence canopies with and without flowers, with different amount of flowers, at different florescence stages, and with different ages and species of apple trees were systematically studied by using variance and correlation analysis methods. The results indicated that with the increase of cumulative sample numbers, the reflective spectral curves of apple florescence canopies became stable and smooth. In the wave bands of 431-500, 591-680 and 761-1300 nm, the variance analysis results of canopies with and without flowers were very significant (α=0.01). Results showed that the correlations of canopies with different amount of flowers with reflectances in 391-513, 598-687 and 711-1193 nm wave bands were significant (p&le0.05). Reflectance increased at the 670 nm Red Valley and decreased in the near-infrared band of 761-1300 nm with the increase of flower amount. Reflective spectral characteristics among different apple species of Red Fuji, Jinshuai and New Red Star were hard to be distinguished except that for Gala. These results revealed the tremendous potential of capturing information of apple florescence with hyperspectral measurement, and it provided the references for constructing retrieval models of remote sensing.

It is important to study the application technique for horticultural crops cultivation and seedling production. The effect of the volumetric ratio of vermiculite to corn stalk substrate, the adding quantity of chicken manure and the relative moisture content on the growth of tomato plug seedling were studied by using orthogonal test design. The results showed that the important order of different factors to the above-ground growth of tomato seedlings was: the quantity of chicken manure > the relative moisture content > the volumetric ratio of vermiculite and chicken manure, while the order to the under-ground growth was: the moisture content > the volumetric ratio of vermiculite and corn stalk substrate > the quantity of chicken manure. The optimal combination was obtained in this experiment, which the relative moisture content was 85% and the volumetric ratio of vermiculite to Corn stalk substrate 1:1, and the quantity of chicken manure 15 g in per plug trays. The results of this experiment provided a useful reference to the utilization of corn stalk substrate and developing new type substrates.

At present, the main approaches used for simulating crop water requirements include FAO-56 dual crop coefficient method, two source model of conservation of energy, water balance model of root zone and SWAP model. Each approach had its own advantages, disadvantages and applying conditions. No matter which approach is used for simulating crop water requirement, the validity of modeling results should be examined. Otherwise, the simulated crop water requirement could not be used for the engineering projects mentioned above. In the paper, based on irrigation experiments data, the crop water requirements of planted Elymus and Agropyron were simulated by the dual crop coefficient approach. Fitting correlation diagram method, regression analysis and indicating residual estimation errors were also used to examine the validity of simulated results. The first approach was a qualitative test method, and gave statistical correlation trend. Second and third approaches were quantitative test methods, and indicated the goodness of fitting and the ranges of the residual estimation errors. By integrating qualitative approach with the quantitative ones, the consistency between the simulated values and the observed values of crop water requirements was effectively examined, which the simulated results can be applied in the engineering projects.

The effect of the spatial movement of rainfall erosivity gravity center on soil loss in different years was analyzed based on GIS tools. The results indicated that the distance between gravity centers of rainfall erosivity and hydrological station and that between gravity centers of rainfall erosivity and gravity centers of steep slope grade (higher than 15°) had significant influence on soil loss. When gravity center of rainfall erosivity was in the middle place between hydrological station and gravity centers of steep slope grade (higher than 15°), there would also be more soil loss. The changes of gravity centres of rainfall erosivity from north to south had little effect on soil loss. However, the changes from west to east had much effect. For catchment, with the changes of spatial distribution of rainfall erosivity, the fitting relations between rainfall erosivity and slope grade, and land use, and hydrological station would be changed, which would lead to the amount of soil loss increased or decreased.

The Markov model was applied to predict land use variation in the following 20 years. The results showed that grassland and farmland were the main land use types of research area with obvious reciprocal transformation. Grassland was mainly transferred to farmland in 1975-1990. Farmland was chiefly converted to grassland, and grassland tended to increase in 1990-2004. The landscape diversity in the study area rose with the contagion index decreasing and fragmentation degree being intensified during 1975-2000. The advantageous patches maintained good connectivity with the increasing patch cohesion index and the decreasing landscape fragmentation during 2000-2004. The change of human interference intensity played an important role on the variation of land use structure. Land use intensity was mainly affected by the changes in population as well as national land use policies. In the following 20 years, the agriculture land area would tend to decrease, the grassland and unused land area would have a slight reduction by contrasting the increasing the forest land area notably. It is a basic approach to ecological restoration by implementing rational land use policies and utilizing ecosystem self-repair functions.

Source title:Nongye Gongcheng Xuebao/Transactions of the Chinese Society of Agricultural Engineering Abbreviated source title:Nongye Gongcheng Xuebao Volume:25 Issue:12 Issue date:December 2009 Publication year:2009 Pages:259-264 Language:Chinese ISSN:10026819 CODEN:NGOXEO Document type:Journal article (JA) Publisher:Chinese Society of Agricultural Engineering, Agricultural Exhibition Road South, Beijing, 100026, China Abstract:A hoop structure swine production system was designed aiming to reduce wastewater from pig production. A 100-head hoop structure for finishing pigs was built in Beijing, and the environment status and pig performance in the hoop structure were studied and compared with that of control in typical brick-concrete concentrated swine house. Results showed that the average inner air temperature in hoop structure and control house was 26.6°C, 27°C, and relative humidity was 77%, 71%, respectively, in summer; Average inner air temperature was 18.9°C, 21°C, and relative humidity was 50%, 49%, respectively, in spring; Pig's daily average gain and feed grain ratio were no significantly different between the hoop structure and control house, but water-saving effect was very significant in the hoop structure, with water consumption in hoop decreased by 13.2 L/d each pig in summer and 1.4 L/d each pig in spring compared with control house, which reduced 16.5 L/d and 4.7 L/d waste water in summer and spring, respectively.
