Ecological networks and greenways in Europe: reasoning and concepts

The paper gives an overview of approaches towards ecological networks throughout Europe.It does not intend to present a complete picture,but to highlight comon developments within countries and regions and show common principles and differences between countries and regions that have to be taken into account when developing a joint European intiative,Countries or regions that have not been included can be active in the same way ,but information was not accessible to be authors for different reasons.This overview shows the comparable trends in decline of landscapes and the diversity in approaches to biodiversity conservation and nature conservation planning.Understanding the differences and common issues are of utmost imprtance to generalise common principles and to understand the way neighbours and other European partners approach problems.     

Carbon Budget Implications of the Transition from Natural to Managed Disturbance Regimes in Forest Landscapes

Land-use change from an unmanaged to a managed forested landscape in northern forests is associated with a reduction of the area annually affected by natural disturbances (wildfires and forest insects) and the introduction of harvesting as a new disturbance. This study examined the impacts of changes in the disturbance regime-the frequency and type of disturbance-on landscape-level carbon (C) content and fluxes. The Carbon Budget Model of the Canadian Forest Sector was used to assess these impacts in six representative landscapes (100,000 ha each) with a range of disturbance regimes that are characteristic of conditions in coastal British Columbia, the interior of British Columbia, and the eastern boreal forest in Canada. The model was used to simulate ecosystem C fluxes during a period of natural disturbances, a 50-year transition period during which harvesting replaced natural disturbances, followed by 150 years of harvesting. The initial landscape-level biomass C content under natural disturbance regimes in the six example landscapes was 22 to 75% of their potential maximum content which is often used as the reference or baseline case. After 200 years of forest management, the C stored in the landscape plus the C retained in forest products manufactured from harvested biomass was between 58 and 101% of the landscape C content prior to the onset of harvesting. Landscape-level ecosystem C content was found to be affected by changes in the disturbance frequency, the age-dependence of the disturbance probabilities, and the disturbance-specific impacts on ecosystem C content. The results indicate that using the potential maximum C content of a landscape as the baseline always overestimates the actual C release due to land use change. A more meaningful procedure would be to assess the actual differences in landscape-level C content between the natural and the managed disturbance regime.     

森林植被影响径流形成机制研究进展

径流形成机制研究在水文学领域中具有十分重要的意义,且受到越来越广泛的重视。水文环境以及水文通量的空间异质性和时间变化性导致了水文过程的尺度依赖性和非线性特征,没有对水文过程较为清晰的认识,就不能将某一地区某一流域森林植被变化水文生态效应的研究结果简单地外推到其他地区和其他流域。开发基于物理过程分布式参数水文模型可以为认识森林植被变化的生态学后效和客观评价森林植被水文生态效益提供可行的工具。但是要实现这一目标,研究森林植被影响径流形成机制是问题的核心所在。另一方面,认识森林影响径流形成机制有助于研究水文学中的尺度问题。研究森林植被影响径流形成机制的主要方法包括水文测验、同位素示踪和动力水文学计算等,研究的空间尺度则为坡面与流域相接合。从已有的研究成果来看,森林植被影响径流形成机制可以概括为:①森林流域径流形成为变动源区产流机制;②森林流域径流形成主要受饱和地表径流、亚表层径流和地下径流的控制;③森林流域径流形成机制是相互作用和相互转化的;④优先流在森林流域径流形成中起到了至关重要的作用。

矿物包裹体爆裂测温曲线上的“相变峰”及其意义

矿物的相转变曾被认为是矿物包裹体爆裂法测温的影响因素之一。本文从矿物在加热过程中发生相转变和内部气液包裹体爆裂二者不同的作用机理,以及在爆裂曲线上不同的反映出发,通过一些实验和实例对比,探讨了矿物相变对爆裂法测温实际效果的影响,和所谓石英“相变峰”在岩体对比等方面的实际意义,得出矿物相变对爆裂法测温不会产生有害影响的结论。     

黄河流域近40年蒸发皿蒸发量的气候变化特征

利用黄河流域及其周边123个气象站1961～2000年20cm口径蒸发皿资料,分析了黄河流域蒸发皿蒸发量的气候变化趋势。结果表明,就整个流域平均而言,尽管在1960～2000年期间,黄河流域年平均温度升高了0.6℃,但蒸发皿蒸发量却呈明显下降趋势,黄河流域年蒸发皿蒸发量在20世纪80～90年代较60～70年代下降了136mm,下降幅度为7.5%;蒸发皿蒸发量的下降主要表现在夏季和春季,秋季和冬季不明显。对蒸发皿蒸发量气候变化的空间分析表明,局部区域与整个流域的气候变化趋势并不完全同步,黄河流域上游和下游蒸发皿蒸发量呈下降趋势,中游呈持平并略有上升趋势。     

教室内二氧化碳污染和新风量测定

新风量不足,呼吸产生的二氧化碳可造成教室内CO_2浓度严重超标,影响学生学习,降低课堂教学效果。以人呼出的CO_2作为示踪气体,测定研究教室有人和无人情况下教室内CO_2浓度变化,对教室新风量进行计算,其结果:室内CO_2排放条件不同,相应方程计算所得新风量基本一致,用忽略室外CO_2本底浓度的新风量计算公式,结果有约17%的误差。开启门窗产生对流,可保障教室内空气的新鲜。     

咸阳地裂缝成因分析

咸阳地裂缝出现于1992年,以近东西向为主,局部发育为近南北向,水平拉张位移最明显,垂直位移次之,水平扭动位移最小,为拉张兼具左旋地裂缝。咸阳地裂缝的出现位置与区域构造线吻合,说明与区域地质构造环境密切相关,构造带的存在与活动为地裂缝的发育提供了空间条件和力学薄弱界面,而承压水头的急剧下降,最终使地裂缝的出现成为可能。     

水中天然有机物的臭氧强化光催化降解研究

研究了饮用水源中大分子天然有机物（NOM）的臭氧强化光催化降解,考察了臭氧投加量、反应时间和HCO3^-浓度对NOM降解速率的影响;分析了臭氧强化光催化过程中NOM相对分子质量的变化,并比较不同相对分子质量大小NOM的降解速率.研究结果表明,臭氧强化光催化比单独臭氧氧化、光催化能更有效地降解NOM,同时增加臭氧投加量和反应时间才能有效提高臭氧强化光催化对TOC的去除率,而单独增加臭氧投加量可显著提高生物可降解性;HCO3^-显著降低光催化的降解效果,臭氧强化光催化能有效地减弱HCO3^-的不利影响;臭氧强化光催化过程中大分子NOM分解为小分子,SUVA值迅速下降,且相对分子质量越大矿化速度越快.     

Human adaptation to climate change: a review of three historical cases and some general perspectives

To study mitigation and adaptation to climate change, social scientists have drawn on different approaches, particularly sociological approaches to the future and comparative history of past societies. These two approaches frame the social and temporal boundaries of decision-making collectivities in different ways. A consideration of the responses to climate variability in three historical cases, the Classic Maya of Mexico and Central America, the Viking settlements in Greenland, and the US Dust Bowl, shows the value of integrating these two approaches.
