Reforestation is increasingly promoted as a nature-based solution for sustainable environmental management, offering multiple ecological and hydrological benefits. However, its long-term geomorphic implications at the catchment scale remain insufficiently understood. This study investigates how the spatial configuration and placement of reforestation in tributary sub-basins influence the morphological stability of the main river channel. Using the CAESAR-Lisflood landscape evolution model, a range of reforestation scenarios over a 50-year period in the River Don catchment (UK) are simulated, focusing on three key variables: relative location (upstream vs downstream), topographic position (valley vs upland), and spatial configuration (consolidated vs dispersed). Key geomorphic indicators include changes in lateral channel migration, sediment discharge, erosion and deposition volumes, and planform metrics. The main findings suggest that reforestation in upstream and upland areas significantly improves the stability of the channel planform and efficiently reduces erosion in comparison to interventions occurring downstream and along the riparian corridor. Furthermore, the efficacy of enhancing the general stability of channel planforms is greater when larger, consolidated reforestation operations are implemented compared to several smaller, dispersed projects of equal area. These findings contribute to fluvial geomorphology by quantifying how tributary reforestation alters sediment connectivity and channel evolution in the main channel. They also offer practical guidance for designing reforestation strategies that maximize geomorphic resilience, particularly in resource-constrained restoration planning. By integrating spatially explicit modelling with geomorphic process understanding, this study advances the predictive capability of landscape evolution models and demonstrates their value in assessing long-term anthropogenic impacts on river systems.
重新造林作为一种基于自然的可持续环境管理解决方案日益得到推广,提供多种生态和水文效益。然而,其在流域尺度上的长期地貌影响仍未得到充分的了解。本研究探讨了支流子流域造林的空间格局和布局对主河道形态稳定性的影响。利用CAESAR-Lisflood景观演变模型,模拟了英国Don河流域50年期间的一系列再造林情景,重点关注三个关键变量:相对位置(上游vs下游)、地形位置(山谷vs高地)和空间配置(集中vs分散)。关键的地貌指标包括横向河道迁移、泥沙流量、侵蚀和沉积量以及平台指标的变化。研究结果表明,与下游和河岸走廊的干预措施相比,上游和高地地区的再造林显著提高了河道平台的稳定性,并有效地减少了侵蚀。此外,与几个较小的、分散的等面积造林项目相比,大规模的、统一的再造林作业对提高渠道平台总体稳定性的效果更大。这些发现通过量化支流再造林如何改变主河道的沉积物连通性和河道演变,有助于河流地貌学的研究。它们还为重新造林战略的设计提供了实际指导,使地貌恢复能力最大化,特别是在资源受限的恢复规划中。通过将空间显式建模与地貌过程理解相结合,本研究提高了景观演化模型的预测能力,并证明了其在评估河流系统长期人为影响方面的价值。

The widely distributed ancient fluvial-lacustrine deposits (FLD) within the Taklamakan Desert are potentially valuable archives for reconstructing paleohydrological changes in this arid region. However, their formation mechanism is poorly constrained due to the lack of a systematic comparison of modern sedimentary processes and these FLD within the desert hinterland. In this study we measured the grain size, geochemical element contents, and color of 77 sediment samples from the Taklamakan Desert. They included 54 samples from 12 stratigraphic sections (FLD layers interbedded within aeolian sands), 13 modern fluvial sediment samples, and 10 modern aeolian sand samples. The FLD had very similar physicochemical characteristics to those of the modern fluvial sediments, but they were distinctly different to the aeolian sands. Integrating sedimentological evidence with geomorphological observations, we propose that flooding events from adjacent river systems during past pluvial periods were the dominant factor in the formation of these FLD. Our systematic physicochemical comparison of paleo-sedimentary sediments with potential modern analogues, provides a robust framework for interpreting the hydrological history of the Taklamakan Desert, with implications for better understanding paleoenvironmental processes in arid Central Asia.
塔克拉玛干沙漠内广泛分布的古河流湖相沉积是重建该干旱区古水文变化的潜在宝贵档案。然而,由于缺乏对沙漠腹地现代沉积过程与这些FLD的系统比较,对它们的形成机制知之甚少。本文对塔克拉玛干沙漠77份沉积物样品的粒度、地球化学元素含量和颜色进行了测定。他们包括来自12个地层剖面的54个样本(FLD层在风成砂中互层),13个现代河流沉积物样本和10个现代风成砂样本。FLD的物理化学特征与现代河流沉积物非常相似,但与风成沙有明显不同。综合沉积学证据和地貌观测,我们认为过去洪积期邻近河流水系的洪水事件是这些FLD形成的主要因素。我们对古沉积沉积物与潜在的现代类似物进行了系统的物理化学比较,为解释塔克拉玛干沙漠的水文历史提供了一个强有力的框架,对更好地理解中亚干旱地区的古环境过程具有重要意义。

Quantifying the influencing factors on the spatiotemporal patterns of dune activity in the Tengger Desert, Northwestern China 腾格里沙漠沙丘活动时空格局影响因素量化研究

Eolian dunes are sedimentary landforms that are particularly sensitive to climate change. Dune activity, including dune migration and sand transport, responds rapidly to environmental changes. However, the contribution of environmental factors underlying spatial variations in dune activity remains unclear. To address this issue, we quantify dune activity in the Tengger Desert and assess the dominant influences including: sand supply, vegetation, topography, and climate. In this study, based on Landsat imagery and COSI-Corr technique, we first derive the spatiotemporal characteristics of the dune migration and sand transport flux in the Tengger Desert from 2014 to 2023, then the dominant factors governing dune activity are identified using the Random Forest (RF) model. The results show that the average dune migration rate in the Tengger Desert is 2.1–3.7 m/yr, with a migration direction of ESE-SSE. The average sand transport flux in the desert is 18.89 ± 28.61 m3/m/yr, controlled by a combination of wind energy and sediment availability. Overall, precipitation, wind intensity, topographic relief, and vegetation coverage are the primary controls on dune activity. In regions with annual precipitation below 150 mm, low precipitation plays a dominant role in dune activity. In regions with precipitation exceeding 150 mm, wind intensity and vegetation coverage become the primary controls, leading to the formation of bistable dune landscapes. This study clarifies the dominant factors affecting changes in dune migration and sand flux at the dune scale, which is helpful for understanding desert evolution responding to climate change.
风成沙丘是对气候变化特别敏感的沉积地貌。沙丘活动,包括沙丘迁移和沙输运,对环境变化反应迅速。然而,环境因子对沙丘活动空间变化的影响尚不清楚。为了解决这一问题,我们量化了腾格里沙漠的沙丘活动,并评估了主要影响因素,包括:沙源、植被、地形和气候。基于Landsat影像和cos - corr技术,研究了2014 - 2023年腾格里沙漠沙丘迁移和输沙通量的时空特征,并利用随机森林(Random Forest, RF)模型识别了沙丘活动的主导因子。结果表明:腾格里沙漠沙丘平均迁移速率为2.1 ~ 3.7 m/yr,迁移方向为ESE-SSE;沙漠输沙通量平均为18.89±28.61 m3/m/yr,受风能和泥沙可利用性共同控制。总体而言,降水、风强度、地形起伏和植被覆盖是沙丘活动的主要控制因素。在年降水量小于150mm的地区,低降水对沙丘活动起主导作用。在降水量超过150 mm的地区,风强度和植被盖度成为主要控制因素,形成双稳型沙丘景观。本研究阐明了沙丘尺度上影响沙丘迁移和沙通量变化的主导因素,有助于理解气候变化对沙漠演化的响应。

River hydraulic analysis is a crucial prerequisite for disaster prevention. Traditionally, essential parameters for such analysis are acquired through field observations of the river channel, which are labor and cost intensive. This study employs image sensing techniques and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to collect extensive spatial information on river channels and generate both two-dimensional and three-dimensional data for rapid updating of riverbed attributes. The gravel size distribution of the riverbed can also be automatically detected and analyzed by deep learning techniques. Gravel parameters in the range of D50D90 were computed to further estimate the Manning's roughness coefficients. Finally, a hydraulics analysis was performed using the above derived parameters for river flood levels and fluid dynamics simulations. The results demonstrated accuracy of 95.39% in water level estimation as compared with true values. Therefore, the proposed innovative approach can greatly increase the efficiency of river hydraulic analysis and flooding simulation.

Beneath dune fields, the subsurface geology of sandy coastal systems can provide valuable insights for understanding coastal environment. While sandy coasts are often described and monitored through surface geomorphology, their internal structure and geotechnical properties remain poorly documented. To address this limitation, a combined ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and cone penetration testing (CPT) approach was applied along the Pays-de-Monts coast (Atlantic France). This multidisciplinary methodology yields complementary information on the internal architecture, stratigraphic variability, and soil behavior of coastal deposits.
Two sectors were investigated, both characterized by dune fields underlain by fractured limestone and bordered inland by low-lying marshes. Despite their apparent similarities, the sites reveal distinct features. Results provide new insights into (i) the sedimentary units anchoring the sandy coastline, (ii) the connection with adjacent marshes and low-lying environments, (iii) the relationships between dune systems and underlying deposits, and (iv) soil behavior properties linked to depositional environment or dune types themself.
From these findings, two conceptual models are proposed: (1) a prograding sandy coastline with an inland marshward transition overlain by dune field (La Parée Grollier, northern sector), and (2) a channel-fill and spit development sequence overlain by dunes (La Pège-Les 60 Bornes, southern sector). These results demonstrate the value of integrating geophysical and geotechnical methods to improve understanding of coastal geosystems and enabling the identification of site-specific characteristics. More broadly, this study demonstrates and discusses the benefits of integrating GPR-CPT approach for advancing coastal geology and highlights the relevance of local geological models for management and adaptation strategies under climate change.
在沙丘场之下,砂质海岸系统的地下地质可以为理解海岸环境提供有价值的见解。虽然沙质海岸通常是通过地表地貌学来描述和监测的,但它们的内部结构和岩土力学特性仍然缺乏文献记录。为了解决这一问题,在Pays-de-Monts海岸(法国大西洋地区)采用了探地雷达(GPR)和锥形穿透测试(CPT)相结合的方法。这种多学科的方法产生了关于海岸沉积物的内部结构、地层变异性和土壤行为的补充信息。研究人员对两个区域进行了调查,它们的特点都是沙丘区,下面是破碎的石灰岩,内陆与低洼的沼泽接壤。尽管它们有明显的相似之处,但它们的特点却截然不同。研究结果为以下方面提供了新的见解:(i)锚定砂质海岸线的沉积单元,(ii)与邻近沼泽和低洼环境的联系,(iii)沙丘系统与下伏沉积物之间的关系,以及(iv)与沉积环境或沙丘类型本身相关的土壤行为特性。在此基础上,本文提出了两个概念模型:(1)北部La par e Grollier段沙质海岸线的内陆向沼泽过渡,覆盖在沙丘上;(2)南部La p - les 60 Bornes段,覆盖在沙丘上的河道填沙和沙咀发育序列。这些结果表明,将地球物理和岩土工程方法结合起来,可以提高对沿海地质系统的理解,并能够识别特定地点的特征。更广泛地说,本研究展示并讨论了整合GPR-CPT方法对推进沿海地质学的好处,并强调了气候变化下当地地质模型对管理和适应战略的相关性。

Insights into red-bed landslide movement from the perspective of geomorphic evolution: A case study in western Yunnan, China 地貌演化视角下的红层滑坡运动——以滇西地区为例

Geomorphic evolution not only records the dynamics of the Earth's surface through a cyclical progression from the youthful stage to an older stage but is also closely intertwined with the current and future development of the Earth's surface. Red-bed landslides are distributed in the red-series continental layered clastic rock formations deposited during the Mesozoic–Cenozoic Eras. Endowed with inherent susceptibility to bedding-parallel sliding and distinct morphological diversity, these landslides constitute a typical geomorphic hazard on the Earth's surface. Those slope movements are inevitably closely linked to geomorphic evolution, which serves as a crucial implicit feature of surface changes. However, the movement characteristics of red-bed landslides from the perspective of geomorphic evolution remain poorly understood, necessitating further investigation into this issue. This paper focuses on the Qinjia red-bed landslide in western Yunnan, China, which remained in a slow-moving state from June 2018 to May 2022. Our research findings were obtained through multidisciplinary approaches, including unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-borne light detection and ranging (LiDAR), satellite-based time-series interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR), geomorphic evolution analysis, and digital terrain analysis. Both the geomorphic evolution in the temporal dimension and the surface deformation in the spatial dimension exhibit significant differential distribution characteristics on the Qinjia landslide. The coupling model of the geomorphic evolution and InSAR deformation rate conforms to a significant quadratic function relationship, meaning that as the geomorphic evolution process progresses, the deformation rate exhibits a trend of first increasing and then decreasing. Additionally, areas in the mature stage correspond to the portions where landslide movement is most intense.

地貌演化不仅记录了地球表面从年轻阶段到老年阶段的周期性进展,而且与地球表面现在和未来的发展密切相关。红层滑坡分布在中新生代沉积的红系陆相层状碎屑岩中。这些滑坡具有顺层平行滑动的固有易感性和独特的形态多样性,是地球表面典型的地貌灾害。这些斜坡运动不可避免地与地貌演化密切相关,地貌演化是地表变化的一个重要隐含特征。然而,从地貌演化的角度对红层滑坡的运动特征了解甚少,需要进一步深入研究。本文以2018年6月至2022年5月处于缓慢移动状态的滇西秦家红层滑坡为研究对象。我们的研究成果是通过多学科方法获得的,包括无人机(UAV)机载光探测和测距(LiDAR)、基于卫星的时序干涉合成孔径雷达(InSAR)、地貌演变分析和数字地形分析。秦家滑坡在时间维度上的地貌演化和空间维度上的地表变形均表现出显著的差异分布特征。地貌演化与InSAR变形率的耦合模型符合显著的二次函数关系,即随着地貌演化过程的进行,变形率呈现先增大后减小的趋势。另外,处于成熟阶段的区域对应着滑坡运动最剧烈的区域。各次生滑坡带地貌演化过程的空间分布特征表明秦家滑坡为牵引型滑坡带。本研究结果补充了山地灾害学界从地貌演化角度对滑坡运动特征的认识。

Red-bed landslides are distributed in the red-series continental layered clastic rock formations deposited during the Mesozoic–Cenozoic Eras. Endowed with inherent susceptibility to bedding-parallel sliding and distinct morphological diversity, these landslides constitute a typical geomorphic hazard on the Earth's surface. Those slope movements are inevitably closely linked to geomorphic evolution, which serves as a crucial implicit feature of surface changes. However, the movement characteristics of red-bed landslides from the perspective of geomorphic evolution remain poorly understood, necessitating further investigation into this issue. This paper focuses on the Qinjia red-bed landslide in western Yunnan, China, which remained in a slow-moving state from June 2018 to May 2022.

Both the geomorphic evolution in the temporal dimension and the surface deformation in the spatial dimension exhibit significant differential distribution characteristics on the Qinjia landslide. The coupling model of the geomorphic evolution and InSAR deformation rate conforms to a significant quadratic function relationship, meaning that as the geomorphic evolution process progresses, the deformation rate exhibits a trend of first increasing and then decreasing. Additionally, areas in the mature stage correspond to the portions where landslide movement is most intense.

Large dams significantly alter natural hydrological and sediment transport regimes, particularly in monsoon-dominated basins. This study investigates the effect of three large dams in the monsoon-dominated Krishna River Basin using multi-decadal flow and suspended sediment concentration data from respective downstream gauging stations, divided into pre-dam and post-dam periods. Indicators of hydrological alteration, flow and sediment duration curve (FDC), sediment rating curve, hysteresis loop (HL), and cross-wavelet transform (XWT) analyses were utlized to assess dam-induced impacts. Sediment rating curve and HL analyses were conducted for both monthly averages and events exceeding 5-year return period flood. Results reveal monthly monsoonal flow and sediment load reductions of ∼27–63 % and ∼27–98 %, respectively, during post-dam period. Contrary, several non-monsoon months exhibit up to 2 orders of magnitude increase, reflecting artificial water releases for irrigation and hydropower generation. A consistent decline of annual maximum flow and variable responses for annual minimum flow and both annual maximum and minimum sediment load were observed during post-dam time. Comparison of post-dam FDCs relative to pre-dam FDCs exhibits a reduction of high-flow events and sustenance of low-flow events. Two out of three stations show increased coefficients and decreased exponents in monthly sediment rating curves, implying increased sediment availability at lower discharge but lesser transport efficiency. However, monthly HLs and high-flow HL and rating relationships remain largely unaffected. Finally, XWT analysis demonstrates strong pre-dam coherence (0.25–1-year periodicities) between flow and sediment, which weakens post-impoundment, indicating decoupling between flow and sediment. Collectively, these findings reveal that the dam-induced regulation suppresses natural variability, significantly altering the hydrological and sediment transport regime.
大型水坝极大地改变了自然水文和沉积物运输制度,特别是在季风主导的盆地。本研究利用来自各自下游测量站的多年代际流量和悬沙浓度数据,研究了季风主导的克里希纳河流域三座大型水坝的影响,并将其分为大坝建成前和大坝建成后两个时期。利用水文变化指标、流沙持续时间曲线(FDC)、泥沙等级曲线、滞回线(HL)和交叉小波变换(XWT)分析来评估大坝的影响。对月平均和超过5年汛期的事件进行了泥沙等级曲线和HL分析。结果显示,在大坝后期,月季风流量和泥沙负荷分别减少了~ 27 - 63%和~ 27 - 98%。相反,几个非季风月份的降雨量增加了2个数量级,这反映了灌溉和水力发电的人工放水。在坝后时期,年最大流量持续下降,年最小流量和年最大、最小输沙量均有不同的响应。与坝前fdc相比,坝后fdc减少了高流量事件,维持了低流量事件。3个站点中有2个站点的月输沙率曲线系数增大,指数减小,表明在低流量条件下输沙率增加,但输沙效率降低。然而,月活率和高流量活率与评分关系基本未受影响。最后,XWT分析显示,坝前水沙关联性较强(0.25 - 1年周期性),蓄水后减弱,表明水沙关联性不强。总的来说,这些发现揭示了大坝诱导的调节抑制了自然变率,显著改变了水文和泥沙运输制度。

Sediment yield assessment of a small ungauged montane catchment in the North Caucasus 北高加索山区一个小型未测量集水区的产沙量评估

Mountain catchments face severe erosion processes, yet sediment transport is rarely measured. Independent methods are needed to assess sediment yield without relying on long-term gauging data. We applied three methods to estimate erosion rates and sediment yield from a 1.84 km2 montane catchment located in the North Caucasus. These were: 1) in-situ measurement of the lake sedimentation rate; 2) assessment of erosion rates based on the spatial distribution of geomorphic processes, their rates, and sediment connectivity; and 3) adaptation of the RUSLE model for predicting mean annual soil loss. Based on lake sedimentation rates, the mean annual area-specific sediment yield was 513 t km−2 yr−1. The spatial distribution and rates of erosion processes indicated that surficial erosion accounts for approximately 83 % of total sediment export, ephemeral streams for 7 %, and rockfalls for 6 %. The remaining contribution comes from soil creep and seasonal solifluction. The RUSLE model, coupled with the morphometric sediment delivery ratio, produced similar, yet 16 % lower, estimates of mean annual sediment yield. This suggests the potential application of this empirical model for ungauged basins in similar montane environments.
山区集水区面临着严重的侵蚀过程,但沉积物的运输很少被测量。需要独立的方法来评估产沙量,而不依赖于长期的测量数据。我们应用了三种方法来估算北高加索地区1.84 km2山地流域的侵蚀速率和产沙量。这包括:1)湖泊沉积速率的原位测量;2)基于地貌过程空间分布、速率和泥沙连通性的侵蚀速率评估;3) RUSLE模型在年平均土壤流失量预测中的应用。基于湖泊沉积速率,平均年面积产沙量为513 t km−2 yr−1。侵蚀过程的空间分布和速率表明,地表侵蚀约占总输沙量的83%,短暂河流约占7%,落石约占6%。其余的贡献来自土壤蠕变和季节性固结。RUSLE模型与形态泥沙输送比相结合,得出了相似的年平均泥沙产出量,但比前者低16%。这表明该经验模型在类似山地环境的未测量盆地中具有潜在的应用价值。

Topographic roughness of continuous ejecta deposits of kilometer-size simple craters on the Moon and Mars 月球和火星上千米大小的简单陨石坑的连续喷射物沉积物的地形粗糙度

Formed by deposition of proximal impact ejecta, continuous ejecta deposits of pristine simple craters on terrestrial planets exhibit varying morphology that reflect properties of pre-impact target materials. While some martian simple craters have layered ejecta deposits ascribable to high contents of target volatiles, typical simple craters on Mars have continuous ejecta deposits broadly similar to those on airless bodies such as the Moon and Mercury. Here we demonstrate that for typical pristine lunar and martian simple craters with diameters of 2–7 km that were formed on coeval volcanic units by impactors with comparable initial kinetic energy, the continuous ejecta deposits of the martian craters have smaller bidirectional slopes at baselines of 24–96 m. Correlated observations using high-resolution images show the rougher topography of lunar continuous ejecta deposits is mainly caused by the abundant decameter-sized boulders and concentric ridges and troughs, which are both rare on their martian counterparts. Additionally, the martian craters exhibit systematically smaller depth-to-diameter ratio and maximum ejecta thicknesses than their lunar counterparts, indicating that the transient cavities on Mars experienced larger gravitational collapses during the modification stage. Secondary craters (secondaries) are also scarce around martian craters, but abundant around lunar craters. An likely interpretation emerging from these observations is that the pre-impact target of typical martian simple craters contained notable amount of water and/or water ice, and the low melting and vaporization pressures of H2O promoted additional fragmentation of the excavated materials, yielding finer ejecta and weaker transient cavity walls. This interpretation is consistent with the common occurrence of concentric ridges and troughs around simple craters on lunar maria, which are formed by local excavation during re-impacts of relatively large ejecta fragments. To testify the plausibility of this interpretation, we extended observations for the occurrence of concentric ridges and troughs around pristine simple craters in lunar highlands, where pre-impact target materials were more fractured than lunar maria. We notice that secondaries and concentric ridges and troughs are indeed atypical and sparse around pristine simple craters in lunar highlands. Likewise, we find that the obvious concentric ridges and troughs are generally lacked around martian craters, and most typical ones occur in young volcanic units that contain less pre-impact volatiles, such as summits of Olympus Mons. Therefore, concentric ridges and troughs were likely formed via secondary impacts by relatively large ejecta fragments, during which ejecta curtains formed by local excavation stalled ejecta flows from the uprange.
由近端撞击抛射物沉积形成,类地行星上原始简单陨石坑的连续抛射物沉积物表现出不同的形态,反映了撞击前目标物质的特性。由于目标挥发物含量高,火星上一些简单的陨石坑有分层的喷射物沉积物,而火星上典型的简单陨石坑有连续的喷射物沉积物,与月球和水星等无空气的天体大致相似。在这里,我们证明了典型的原始月球和火星简单陨石坑,直径为2-7公里,是由具有相当初始动能的撞击物在同时期的火山单元上形成的,火星陨石坑的连续喷射物沉积物在24-96 m的基线处具有较小的双向斜坡。利用高分辨率图像进行的相关观测显示,月球连续喷出物沉积物的粗糙地形主要是由大量的十米大小的巨石和同心山脊和凹槽造成的,这些在火星上都是罕见的。此外,与月球上的陨石坑相比,火星陨石坑的深度直径比和最大喷出物厚度系统地更小,这表明火星上的瞬态空洞在修改阶段经历了更大的引力崩塌。次级陨石坑(Secondary)在火星陨石坑周围也很少,但在月球陨石坑周围却很多。从这些观察中得出的一种可能的解释是,典型的火星简单陨石坑的撞击前目标含有大量的水和/或水冰,水的低熔化和汽化压力促进了挖掘材料的额外破碎,产生更细的喷出物和更弱的瞬态腔壁。这一解释与月海上简单陨石坑周围常见的同心脊和槽相一致,这些山脊和槽是在相对较大的喷出物碎片再次撞击时由局部挖掘形成的。为了证明这种解释的合理性,我们扩展了对月球高地原始简单陨石坑周围同心脊和槽的观测,在那里,撞击前的目标物质比月球玛丽亚更破碎。我们注意到,在月球高地原始的简单陨石坑周围,次级和同心山脊和凹槽确实是非典型的和稀疏的。同样,我们发现火星陨石坑周围普遍缺乏明显的同心脊和槽,最典型的是发生在年轻的火山单元中,这些火山单元含有较少的撞击前挥发物,如奥林匹斯山的峰顶。因此,同心脊槽可能是由较大的喷出物碎片二次撞击形成的,在此过程中,局部开挖形成的喷出物帷幕阻止了喷出物从隆起处流出。
