港口规划环评评价内容及技术方法探讨

随着经济的快速发展,港口已成为社会发展的重要支柱。但随之带来的是港口建设与环境保护之间的矛盾日益突出,因此必须实施港口规划环境影响评价。本文基于《规划环境影响评价技术导则》(试行),结合港口规划环评的特点,对港口规划环评的技术路线和评价内容进行了总结。评价重点内容从规划协调性分析、环境承载力、公众参与和风险评价四个方面进行了研究和总结,为其它港口总体规划环境影响评价工作提供参考和借鉴。     

铜对草鱼及花鲢的毒性预测：基于生物配体模型

试验配置不同胡敏酸浓度(DOC浓度为0.05、0.5、1、2、4 mg·L-1)下,分别对草鱼及花鲢进行铜的一系列96 h生物急性毒性试验,结果表明DOC浓度与LC50呈正相关关系,此与生物配体模型描述一致.利用两鱼种(Fathead minnow、Rainbow trout)的生物配体模型预测草鱼及花鲢的LC50,得出平均绝对偏差分别为591.2、157.14μg·L-1及728.18、91.24μg·L-1.在生物配体模型(biotic ligand model,BLM)铜形态分布平台下,得到草鱼及花鲢的LA50(以湿重计)依次为10.960nmol·g-1和3.978 nmol·g-1.通过校正草鱼及花鲢的LA50,得出平均绝对偏差依次为280.52μg·L-1和92.25μg·L-1,预测性能显著提高.基于所确立的LA50,通过搜集草鱼及花鲢的毒性数据,预测其LC50,得到平均绝对偏差分别为252.37μg·L-1和50.26μg·L-1,此证实基于生物配体模型的毒性预测具有一定的实用性.     

重金属污染土壤的植物修复技术研究进展探讨

大多数传统的重金属污染治理技术成本高,会引起土壤肥力下降,对各类生态系统造成负面影响。植物修复技术是一种成本低、环境友好的方法,不会对土壤性质和生态系统产生不利影响。文章综述了植物修复治理重金属污染土壤的研究进展,探讨如何通过采取物理、化学、生物技术及农艺措施等方法提高修复植物的生物量和重金属积累量并展望了今后的研究方向。

基于化石能源消耗的重庆市二氧化碳排放峰值预测

首先利用重庆市能源平衡表,采用IPCC方法 1对重庆市1997—2012年的碳排放进行核算;其次依据重庆市经济社会发展状况,通过LMDI因素分解法将影响碳排放的因素分解为:人口、人均GDP、产业结构、能源结构、能源强度和碳排放系数;然后利用扩展的重庆市STIRPAT碳排放模型,在9个情景模式下对2013—2050年重庆市碳排放进行预测;最后对比分析了各情景下的峰值大小及出现时间.研究发现:基准模式下的重庆市碳排放在2035年出现32135.38万t的峰值;提高能源利用技术、增加清洁能源使用比例和大力发展第三产业,能在不降低经济发展的情况下有效降低碳排放;消极因素中的第二产业占比下降比碳排放强度下降对碳排放的抑制作用更加明显;积极因素对碳排放峰值的影响比消极因素更有效.     

Using the land transformation model to forecast vacant land

Growing or shrinking cities can experience increases in vacant land. As urban populations and boundaries fluctuate, holes can open in once tight urban areas. Many cities chase growth-oriented approaches to dealing with vacancies. It is critical to understand land-use alteration to accurately predict transformations of physical change in order to make better informed decisions about this phenomenon. This research utilizes the land transformation model (LTM), an artificial neural networking mechanism in Geographic Information Systems, to forecast vacant land. Variable influence on vacant land prediction and accuracy of the LTM is assessed by comparing input factors and patterns, using time-series data from 1990 to 2010 in Fort Worth, Texas, USA. Results indicate that the LTM can be useful in simulating vacant land-use changes but more precise mechanisms are necessary to increase accuracy. This will allow for more proactive decisions to better regulate the process of urban decline and regeneration.     

Environmental Comedy: No Impact Man and the Performance of Green Identity

“No Impact Man” (NIM) Colin Beavan attracted international media attention and a good deal of criticism for his year-long experiment attempting to live making zero net impact on the environment. Whereas Beavan's critics dismissed the project as a mere publicity stunt, this essay reads the NIM blog, book, and documentary film as a compelling performance of green identity in the comic frame. This performance—which links private consumption to ecology and community, and emphasizes flaws, foibles, humor and humility—offers an appealing invitation to engage in both individual and collective action. I argue that comedy is a useful rhetorical tool for addressing global warming, as it enables us to see ourselves not as helpless victims in a tragic doomsday scenario, but as imperfect actors who are both guilty contributors to the problem and agents responsible for its amelioration.

Assessing ecological risk on a regional scale

Society needs a quantitative and systematic way to estimate and compare the impacts of environmental problems that affect large geographic areas. This paper presents an approach for regional risk assessment that combines regional assessment methods and landscape ecology theory with an existing framework for ecological risk assessment. Risk assessment evaluates the effects of an environmental change on a valued natural resource and interprets the significance of those effects in light of the uncertainties identified in each component of the assessment process. Unique and important issues for regional risk assessment are emphasized; these include the definition of the disturbance scenario, the assessment boundary definition, and the spatial heterogeneity of the landscape. Although the research described in this article has been funded wholly or in part by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through Interagency Agreement Number DW89932112-01-2 to the U.S. Department of Energy, it has not been subjected to EPA review and therefore does not necessarily reflect the views of EPA and no official endorsement should be inferred.
