To investigate the variation of soil water holding capacity under different land use types can provide scientific basis for evaluating the change characteristics and regulation mechanism of water conservation capacity in alpine ecosystems. We collected soil samples at different depth intervals (0-10, 10-20 and 20-30 cm) under three land use types (farmland, forest, and grassland) in Tibet alpine region to measure the maximum water holding capacity, capillary water holding capacity, field capacity, and basic soil physicochemical properties. The associated environmental factors (mean annual precipitation, normalized difference vegetation index, altitude, slope gradient and surface roughness) were extracted to analyze the change characteristics and influencing factors of soil water holding capacity under different land use types.

A two-dimensional model MIKE21 coupled with a modified EcoLab module was applied to model the water quality of surface flow wetlands. In the model, vegetation effects, oxygen production, nutrient consumption by microorganisms and vegetation were set in the solutions of hydrodynamic, chemical, and biological processes. Based on the field investigation and measurements in the Guishui River wetland, the model was established for the downstream reaches of the Guishui River and the Sanli River.

Carbon nitride is a novel nonmetal semiconductor photocatalyst, which has developed into an ideal environmental treatment material in recent years. Graphite carbon nitride(g-CN) was prepared through pyrolysis melamine, and the structure, morphology and optical properties of samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD), transmission electron microscopy(TEM) and UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectra(UV-Vis DRS). The potential application of g-CN in the simultaneous photocatalysis reduction of Cr(Ⅵ) and oxidation of sulfosalicylic acid(SSA) was further explored.
