Environmental management policy in a coastal tourism municipality: the case study of Cervia (Italy)

The sustainability concept applied to human activities implies the need to harmonise the protection of environment with a satisfactory economic and social development. This is particularly true for tourism development: a misuse of the natural resources can cause a degradation of the tourist appeal of the destination, bringing it finally to its economic decline. This problem is particularly important in coastal tourism destinations. The implementation of an environmental management system is a powerful way for progressing towards better environmental performances. In this paper, the main results obtained in applying the Eco-Management and Audit Scheme procedure to the municipality of Cervia, a well-known tourist destination located on the Adriatic coast of Italy are described. This research puts into evidence that the main environmental pressures in the summer season are related to the supply of potable water, the production of solid wastes and wastewater air pollution and noise, etc. However, if correctly planned and managed, tourism can also contribute to environmental protection, to the conservation of biodiversity and to a sustainable use of natural resources.     

Multi-level governance for large marine commons: Politics and polycentricity in Palau's protected area network

This paper brings together institutional theories of polycentricity and critical human geography theory on scalar politics to advance understanding of the form and function of nested, polycentric regimes for the governance of large-scale common pool resources. We focus on institutional changes associated with a national marine protected area network in Palau through which national government and NGOs gain influence in local decision-making processes. Influence is gained through an attempt to scale up common-pool resource governance to an ecologically-relevant spatial scale in an effort to protect coral reef resilience and biodiversity across Palau. An institutional approach informed by scalar politics brings into focus potential tradeoffs between organizing governance reform around ecologically versus institutionally relevant scales. Our analysis suggests that prioritization of ecologically-relevant scales in institutional reform resulted in more nested but less polycentric institutional arrangements governing the network. We conclude that less distributed decision-making in the overall nested governance system could threaten the sustainability and resilience of coral reefs in the long-term by constraining institutional innovation and diversity. Results demonstrate the potential for interdisciplinary dialog to advance the research frontier on multi-level governance for large common pool resources.

重金属和油处理剂对水稻根系的影响

试验了Ｎｉ、Ｚｎ、Ｍｎ、Ｓｎ、Ｃｒ和Ｃｕ等６种重金属及油处理剂对水稻根系的影响，结果表明．水中含Ｎｉ０．００７ｍｇ／１、Ｃｕ０．００５ｍｇ／１时，能阻碍根系的伸长；含Ｚｎ０．５ｍｇ／１以上时。不利于根系的伸长；水中含Ｍｎ２０ｍｇ／１，Ｓｎ、Ｃｒ￣（６－）各５ｍｇ／１时，对根系有明显危害；水中含Ｃｒ￣（２＋）＋Ｃｒ￣（６＋）时，当１种离子浓度保持不变，根系的抑制程度随着另１种离子浓度的增加而增大。水中含油处理剂１０００ｍｇ／１时，能抑制水稻发根。     

黄河沿岸地带水资源约束下的产业结构优化与调整研究

20世纪90年代以来，黄河多年持续断流，已经严重影响到沿岸地带社会经济发展和人民生活，限制了沿岸地带经济潜力的发挥。特别是对黄河下游地区工农业生产造成巨大危害。本文分析了黄河沿岸地带产业结构等社会经济要素与水资源短缺的矛盾，提出应化调整大耗水型的产业结构，大力发展与生活环境友好的生态农业、生态工业，生态旅游等生态产业，并建立有利于水资源节约利用的社会经济体系。     

城市规划区农用地价格评估的实证研究--以江苏泰兴市为例

城市规划区农用地价格的评估既不同于城市建成区各类用地价格评估，也不同于基本农田保护区的农用地的价格评估，是农用地价格评估中的热点和难点，其区别于其他土地评估的特点主要表现在：一是城市规划区农用地价格是一种农用地转用价格，其实质是农用地所有权价格；二是城市规划区农用地用途将发生变更；三是城市规划区农用地存在着预期收益及其收益年限问题。在此基础上，以江苏泰兴市为例，对城市规划区农用地价格的评估思路进行了探讨，思路之一是运用投入产出法将城市规划区农用地的未来预期净收益还原为无限年期的所有权价格；思路之二是运用假设开发法求取“剩余之数、即为地价；思路之三是运用征购价格法从农用地价格构成角度探讨了规划区农用地的价格，并对三种估价思路及其估价结果进行了比较分析。

Effects of elevated ozone on growth and yield of field-grown rice in Yangtze River Delta, China

With rapid industrialization and urbanization in the Yangtze Delta, China, the tropospheric ozone concentration has increased to levels that induce crop yield loss. Rice, a widely grown crop in China, was investigated in field-established, open-top chambers. Four treatments were used： charcoal-filtered air （CF）, non-charcoal-filtered air （NF）, and charcoal-filtered air with two levels of additional ozone （O3-1 and O3-2）. The AOT40s （accumulated hourly mean ozone concentration above 40 ppbv） were 0, 0.91, 23.24, and 39.28 ppmv.h for treatment of CE NF, O3-1, and O3-2, respectively. The rice height and biomass were reduced in the elevated ozone concentration. Less organic matter partitioning to roots under the elevated ozone significantly decreased rice root activity. The yield loss was 14.3% and 20.2% under O3-1 and O3-2 exposure, respectively. This was largely caused by a reduction in grain weight per panicle.     

湖南采矿区和冶炼区水稻土重金属污染及其潜在风险评价

对湖南省9个县市采矿区和冶炼区附近的水稻土中重金属Cd、As、Cu、Zn和Pb进行了调查和分析.结果表明,采矿区和冶炼区周围的水稻土中重金属Cd、As、Cu、Zn和Pb的含量呈对数正态分布.单因子污染指数法评价表明,在所调查的区域中,有6个县市矿区和冶炼区附近的水稻土受到Cd的严重污染,其它地区的水稻土分别受到Cd、As、Cu、Zn和Pb不同程度的污染,其中衡阳常宁市水口山铅锌矿区和株洲清水塘冶炼区附近的水稻土受到重金属的严重污染.潜在风险评价表明,采矿区和冶炼区周围的水稻土中Cd潜在风险参数最高,其次是Pb和As.衡阳常宁水口山铅锌矿、株洲清水塘冶炼区、娄底冷水江锡矿和湘潭锰矿附近的水稻土中重金属的潜在生态风险参数很高,具有很高潜在风险程度;永州道县冶炼区水稻土中重金属的潜在生态风险程度为较高程度;郴州柿竹园铅锌矿.常德石门雄磺矿、益阳赫山区金矿区和岳阳临湘铅锌矿区附近的水稻土的重金属潜在生态风险为中等程度.
