露天煤矿开采对风力侵蚀的影响

    Impact of open-pit coal mining on wind erosion

    • 摘要: 量化露天采矿活动通过改变地形对风力侵蚀过程的影响,对于露天煤矿的土壤侵蚀防治与生态修复具有重要意义。本研究基于2015—2024年多源遥感数据,以新疆准东煤田的红沙泉矿区为研究对象,利用合成孔径雷达干涉测量(InSAR)技术反演研究区年际高程变化,精细刻画采掘活动引起的地形扰动,并将其引入风力侵蚀模型,以提高风力侵蚀模拟的时效性与精度。在此基础上,构建自然对照区与矿区的对比视角,从时空格局与趋势变化两方面系统分析风力侵蚀模数的演变特征。研究结果表明:2015—2024年间研究区整体风力侵蚀水平呈现波动上升趋势,矿区风力侵蚀模数(147.42 t/hm2)显著高于自然对照区(13.15 t/hm2)。红一矿在研究期内形成大面积连续的高强度风力侵蚀斑块,并随采掘扩张向外扩展,土壤侵蚀均值由84.78 t/hm2上升163.25 t/hm2;红二矿处在建设初期,风力侵蚀水平较低,但随扰动增强呈现上升趋势,其风力侵蚀均值由2023年的29.61 t/hm2增至2024年的38.12 t/hm2。风力侵蚀强度的变化主要受地形因子的主导控制,其q值为0.815 8,并通过与地表粗糙度的协同作用进一步强化。总体而言,露天采矿通过持续改变地表结构强化了风力侵蚀过程,使矿区风力侵蚀在强度和空间范围方面均远高于自然对照区,并对区域生态安全和地表稳定性构成潜在风险。本研究基于InSAR技术计算年际高程的风力侵蚀动态模拟方法,可为新疆准东煤田的矿山扰动监测、生态修复和风力侵蚀防控策略制定提供科学支撑。

       

      Abstract: Quantifying the impact of open-pit mining activities on wind erosion processes through terrain changes is of great significance for soil erosion control and ecological restoration in open-pit coal mines. This study, based on multi-source remote sensing data from 2015 to 2024, focuses on the Hongshaquan Mining Area in the Zhundong Coalfield, Xinjiang. Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry(InSAR) technology is used to retrieve interannual elevation changes in the study area, precisely characterizing terrain disturbances caused by mining activities. This information is then incorporated into a wind erosion model to improve the timeliness and accuracy of wind erosion simulations. Based on this, a comparative perspective between a natural control area and the mining area is established to systematically analyze the evolution characteristics of wind erosion modulus in terms of spatiotemporal patterns and trend changes. The results show that: over the past decade, the overall wind erosion level in the study area shows a fluctuating upward trend, with the wind erosion modulus in the mining area(147.42 t/hm2) significantly higher than that in the natural control area(13.15 t/hm2). Hongshaquan Mine 1 forms large, continuous patches of high-intensity wind erosion during the study period, expanding outward with the expansion of mining activities, with the average soil erosion increasing from 84.78 t/hm2 to 163.25 t/hm2; Hongshaquan Mine 2 is in the early stages of construction with a lower wind erosion level, but shows an upward trend with increasing disturbance, with its average wind erosion increasing from 29.61 t/hm2 in 2023 to 38.12 t/hm2 in 2024. Variations in wind erosion intensity are primarily governed by topographic factors(q = 0.815 8), and are further enhanced through their synergistic interactions with surface roughness. Overall, open-pit mining strengthens wind erosion processes by continuously altering the surface structure, resulting in wind erosion in the mining area being far higher than the natural background in terms of intensity, spatial extent, and variability, posing potential risks to regional ecological security and surface stability. This study’s dynamic wind erosion simulation method based on InSAR technology for calculating interannual elevation changes can provide scientific support for mine disturbance monitoring, ecological restoration, and wind erosion control strategies in the Zhundong Coalfield, Xinjiang.
