城市河流整治的生态规划要点——以北京市温榆河为例

在城市化进程中人们对城市河流的利用强度日益增大,在饱受污染危害之后,城市的规划和建设者注意到,河流不仅是饮水之源、排污渠道,更是人类生存的重要生态依托,因此,碧水工程已经成为各地城市生态整治的工作重点。但是,河流的生态功能是什么？服务功能又是什么？碧水工程不应只解决水质污染问题,而应保护和恢复河流的生态功能,利用好河流的生态服务功能。本文以北京市温榆河的生态规划为例,充分尊重河流的线性廊道特征,在景观生态学理论和技术的支持下,提出了修复温榆河生态通道功能和恢复天然河流水的运动规律的生态建设要点。     

Trait groups as management entities in a complex,multispecies reef fishery

Localized stressors compound the ongoing climate-driven decline of coral reefs, requiring natural resource managers to work with rapidly shifting paradigms. Trait-based adaptive management (TBAM) is a new framework to help address changing conditions by choosing and implementing management actions specific to species groups that share key traits, vulnerabilities, and management responses. In TBAM maintenance of functioning ecosystems is balanced with provisioning for human subsistence and livelihoods. We first identified trait-based groups of food fish in a Pacific coral reef with hierarchical clustering. Positing that trait-based groups performing comparable functions respond similarly to both stressors and management actions, we ascertained biophysical and socioeconomic drivers of trait-group biomass and evaluated their vulnerabilities with generalized additive models. Clustering identified 7 trait groups from 131 species. Groups responded to different drivers and displayed divergent vulnerabilities; human activities emerged as important predictors of community structuring. Biomass of small, solitary reef-associated species increased with distance from key fishing ports, and large, solitary piscivores exhibited a decline in biomass with distance from a port. Group biomass also varied in response to different habitat types, the presence or absence of reported dynamite fishing activity, and exposure to wave energy. The differential vulnerabilities of trait groups revealed how the community structure of food fishes is driven by different aspects of resource use and habitat. This inherent variability in the responses of trait-based groups presents opportunities to apply selective TBAM strategies for complex, multispecies fisheries. This approach can be widely adjusted to suit local contexts and priorities.
