Infiltration,as a major component of the hydrological cycle,plays an important role in ecosystems,river flooding,and soil erosion.Therefore,this process has been studied on different soils,with different vegetation cover,and under different climate conditions.However,it is still necessary to know how infiltration rates depend on land degradation,vegetation cover,forest management,and forest restoration,since soil infiltration is related to soil hydrological function and hydrological ecosystem services.The aim of our study is to analyze the way reforestation and check dam construction have helped to improve soil infiltration rates in comparison with old,degraded land,different soils and vegetation covers in Central Spain.Therefore,three infiltration tests were carried out by means of a simple methacrylate infiltrometer ring,in four sampling plots,for five types of land use:(i)native holm oak forest,(ii)6o-year-old reforested pine wood,(iii)shrubs,(iv)sediment wedges of check dams,and(v)gullies and degraded hillslopes.Our results show much higher infiltration rates in the soil of 60-year-old pine reforestation sites(1198.00 mm·h-1),and in the sediment wedges of check dams(1088.00 mm·h-1),than in those of degraded hillslopes(365.00 mm·h-1)and shrubland(420.80 mm·h-1).The rates were also shown to be close to those from the remaining patches of native holm oak woodland(770.40 mm·h-1).We also found that organic matter,humus and litter depth,and height of vegetation and cover,all improve soil infiltration rates,while slope degree,presence of coarse elements,stoniness,clay content,bulk density,and electric conductivity inhibit the rates.It was additionally seen that pine reforestation and check dam construction caused degraded land to recover its hydrological conditions to a level that is quite close to that of the ancient oak holm native forest,alongside ameliorating the hydrological cycle in the watershed.This information will be very useful for decision-making processes related to land restoration projects,forest management,and environmental policy.

Rainfall infiltration on a soil slope is usually an unsaturated seepage process that can be described by a water-air two-phase flow model.The effect of pore air pressure on rainfall infiltration has been widely recognized and validated by means of numeric
脊髓磁共振成像是将磁共振成像应用于脊髓部分(主要是颈髓)的先进研究技术,在人体感觉、运动等基础科学研究,以及脊髓损伤、脊髓炎、慢性疼痛等疾病的临床应用中均已逐渐得到使用.脊髓磁共振成像的发展相比脑成像而言仍处于起步阶段,这主要受限于目前的磁共振成像技术和数据分析方法.本文以认知神经科学和医学领域的基础研究为主,聚焦于脊髓磁共振成像技术的方法与应用.首先介绍了常用多模态脊髓磁共振成像技术的成像原理、成像方法、测量指标及其应用现状,具体包括脊髓定量磁共振成像(结构成像、弥散成像、波谱成像、髓磷脂水分数成像、磁
精神分裂症的起因尚未明确,与之相关的脑机制异常也未得到统一的结论.近年来精神分裂症患者的症状与大脑功能连接脑网络之间的关系逐渐受到研究者的重视,因此也引起该领域学者对其中问题的广泛讨论.本文对精神分裂症相关的静息态和任务态功能连接和脑网络研究进行综述,详细梳理精神分裂症患者症状与大规模脑网络特征之间的关系,以期为精神分裂症诊断与治疗提出新的研究方向.
