Regulation of numbers of insects on islands of the Kuibyshev Reservoir

The main regulatory mechanism of populations is revealed for some insect groups (Carabidae, Curculionidae, Chrysomelidae, and Hemiptera) on islands of the Kuibyshev Reservoir. This mechanism is the dynamics of the ratio of species with imaginal and preimaginal winter diapause. The extent of these dynamics depends on the stability of habitats, which in turn depends on water-level conditions in the reservoir. The period of adaptation of the community of carabids of the most flooded biotope to the extreme impact of water conditions is determined.     

基于新制度经济学视角的“河长制”评析

我国频发的水危机既是水环境作为居住地、供应站功能而引发的生态破坏问题,也是作为废物库功能而引发的环境污染问题.河长制是地方政府为了重新恢复环境三大功能协调运行而发明的一项有效的实用制度.河长制因其简单易行,很快在全国形成扩散效应.河长制是源于地方政府的制度创新,本文运用新制度经济学分析了河长制的优缺点:优点是职责归属明确,权责清晰;是合理的路径依赖基础上的制度创薪;铁腕治污提高治污效率;创新扩散机制值得提倡.河长制本身存在制度缺陷:无法根除委托-代理问题;缺乏透明的监督机制;容易出现利益合谋;忽视了社会力量;行政问责很难落实.河长制综合考虑了地方权力结构与环境现实,充分利用行政长官手中的权力带动地方政府职能转变,推动了具有中国本土特色环境制度变迁的步伐.但河长制具有应急的过渡性,应在发展中扬长避短,不断完善,应通过它形成全社会参与环境管理的机制,建立可持续发展的环境治理制度.

Assessment of the ecological risk of technogenic soil pollution on the basis of the statistical distribution of the occurrence of micromycete species

A methodology of substantiating the ecological risk of technogenic soil pollution has been described according to the results of bioindication using microfungal communities. At the first state, the values of the factors under which the frequency of each species is maximal were estimated using ordination methods. The statistical distribution of the species sensitivity was simulated according to these data. The methodology was illustrated using the results of analysis of the toxicity of soil samples from uranium mine dumps (the village of Kadzhi-Sai, Kyrgyzstan). The preliminary estimates of the critical values of six soil pollution indices that provide the defined allowable probability of the ecological risk have been given.     

Specific Features of Mycorrhizal Symbiosis Formation in the Ontogeny of Orchids of the Temperate Zone

The study of relationships between symbiotic fungi and germinating seeds of the Orchidaceae showed that the effect of a fungus on germination depends on the presence of seed dormancy and its pattern. The specificity of symbiosis varies widely. The development of symbiotic sprouts in situand in vitro differs only in the rate, whereas the morphogenesis of asymbiotic sprouts is characterized by several anomalies.

Assessment of the Antioxidant Potential of Plants in Urban Ecosystems under Conditions of Anthropogenic Pollution of Soils

The leaves of 22 woody and herbaceous plant species growing in urban ecosystems of Kalinigrad were analyzed for the total contents of water-soluble antioxidants (TAC) and polyphenol contents. The soils of test plots were assayed for lead contents in the accumulative horizon. A significant excess over the background Pb level was revealed in soil samples from residential and industrial/utility areas (42% of the city territory), and TAC in plant tissues was found to decrease with an increase in Pb concentration in the soil. The role of polyphenols in forming the antioxidant potential of urban plants growing under conditions of technogenic soil pollution was evaluated. Based on cluster analysis of the water-soluble antioxidant and polyphenol accumulation patterns, the plants were classified into four groups. The results of this study may be used for comprehensive assessment of the resilience of urban plants to anthropogenic impact and improvement of the approaches and methods for monitoring industrial pollution in urban areas.

中国参与经济全球化的区域格局响应研究

以加入WTO为标志.中国积极参与经济全球化已成为一种必然.但由于我国的国土规模、自然环境、气候条件等方面的地区差异很大,地区之间在发展水平上一直存在着差距,地区发展不平衡是个长期的国内政治经济现象.这种地区发展的差距表现为各类地区融入经济全球化的程度不同,反应不同.有些地区能够借助经济的全球化而发展自身,有些地区则无法从中受益,甚至因而处于更加落后的境地.本文从三大经济地带、各经济区和各省(市)区三个屡次分析和探讨了不同区域对经济全球化响应的差异,并对全球化条件下我国内部区域一体化格局进行了深入的研究.     

Mineral composition of assimilative organs of conifers after reduction of atmospheric pollution in the Kola Peninsula

An analysis has been made of changes in the mineral composition of conifer needles in northern taiga forests after reduction of emissions from the Severonickel Copper-Nickel Smelter Complex in the city of Monchegorsk, the most powerful source of air pollution in Northern Europe. The data obtained in permanent monitoring plots in 1991, 1993, 2000, and 2007 have been compared. The results provide evidence for reduction in the concentrations of heavy metals (Cu, Ni, Fe) and sulfur in the needles of spruce and pine trees in areas with different levels of air pollution. However, mineral nutrition of conifers has not been optimized. The plants are insufficiently supplied with nutrient elements such as P, Mg, Mn, and Zn. The contents of these and other elements essential for the normal functioning of needles (in particular, Ca, K, and P) continue to decrease, especially in pollution-induced sparse spruce forests. The most significant alterations of nutrient regime have been revealed in the Siberian spruce.     

The significance of various factors for GHG emissions of buildings

The objective of the research was to create improved understanding of the significance of diverse factors for the total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of buildings. The specific focus of the study was on the assessment of the significance of building materials and embodied carbon. The scope of the study covers multi-storey residential buildings in Finland. This research was based on a literature survey and supported by a parametric case study. The parametric study assessed the building-material-related GHG emissions relative to total GHG emissions and the possible range of variation. The research assesses the minimum and maximum GHG emissions for production of buildings with similar spaces, to reveal the likely range of variation for the emissions. The calculations for the ‘minimum’ and ‘maximum’ scenarios assume a similar purpose of use, occupancy and spaces in the building, while the production methods, materials, site conditions and location are varied. The research also assesses the relative importance of various building components and other calculation parameters in terms of GHGs. Total material-related GHG emissions were compared with the GHG emissions caused by the operation of the building, at three distinct levels of energy performance. In addition, the material- and operation-related GHG emissions were compared with the location-related GHG emissions arising from people's mobility.

Long-term abundance dynamics of coastal zooplankton in the Gulf of Riga

The dynamics of three most abundant mesozooplankton species in the coastal zone of the Gulf of Riga--Bosmina longispina, Synchaeta baltica, Keratella quadrata--is analyzed to detect the regulating environmental factors. The only significant downward trend of species abundance was found for S. baltica in autumn. Statistically significant correlation was estimated only between the summer salinity and the abundance of B. longispina. K. quadrata though showed a negative correlation with summer salinity. The abundance of S. baltica had only nonsignificant correlations with the environmental factors. The abundance of coastal mesozooplankton species is determined by the combination of hydrological regime, predation pressure, benthic conditions and the success of living strategy. The change of fresh- and saline water masses at the coastal areas supplies sufficient food amount but can cause decline in hatching abilities.     

Estimations of the Transparency of the Forest Canopy: Analysis of the Ecological Content

The transparency of the forest canopy of lichen-green moss pine forests was estimated for different numbers of sectors of the celestial hemisphere. The ecological contents of these estimations are discussed. The dominance frequencies of species of the herbaceous-dwarf shrub and moss-lichen layers were analyzed. Based on the results of this analysis, it was concluded that the transparency estimated for the zenith sector alone better reflects the influence of leaf debris and the rainfall interception by the crowns. If the transparency was estimated taking into account all sectors of the celestial hemisphere, the effect of community disturbance increased and the redistribution of rainfall was masked.
