新疆生态环境监测指标体系与评价方法探讨

针对新疆荒漠生态 环境的独特 环境特征,以准确、快捷、客观反映荒漠生态环境质量为目的,建立了区域性荒 漠生态环境监测指标体系和评价方法,充分发挥生态监测网络站和各行业监测站的作用,做到信息共享,通过在新疆生态环境监测和质量评价中进行实践,证明所建指标 体系 和评价方法 具有一定的科学性和实用价值。     

新疆生态环境质量动态变化监测与评价研究

客观、准确地认识和评价新疆的生态环境质量现状,制定相应的生态环境保护对策,对于新疆社会经济与生态环境的可持续发展是十分重要的。本文应用RS和GIS技术,采用综合指数评价法,对全疆区域生态环境质量及其动态变化进行了系统的评价、分级与对比。结果得出新疆生态环境质量总体较差,而且在空间上存在着较大的差异;与2000年相比,2002年新疆生态环境质量呈现总体变化不大的态势。     

Environmental Monotoring and Assessment Program: Current Status of Virginian Province (U.S.) Estuaries

Monitoring of indicators of the ecological condition of bays, tidal rivers, and estuaries within the Virginian Biogeographic Province (Cape Cod, Massachusetts to Cape Henry, Virginia) was conducted annually by the U.S. EPA's Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Program (EMAP) during the summer months of 1990 to 1993. Data were collected at 425 probability-based stations within the Province. Indicators monitored included water quality (temperature, salinity, water clarity, and dissolved oxygen concentration), sediment contamination, sediment toxicity, benthic community structure, fish community structure, and fish gross external pathology. Data were used to estimate the current status of the ecological condition of Virginian Province estuarine resources, and provide a baseline for identifying possible future changes. Estimates, with 95% confidence limits, of the areal extent of impacted resources within the Province are provided. Data are also presented by estuarine class (large estuaries, small estuarine systems, and large tidal rivers). Results show that, overall, approximately half of the estuarine waters of the Virginian Province can be classified as impacted based on multiple indicators, with hypoxia being the major stressor.
