长株潭都市区湘江生态经济带建设

都市区作为高密度的人类聚集地,人口与生态环境的矛盾日益突出。都市区生态经济建设显得尤为重要。长株潭都市区3座城市呈“品”字型分布,湘江一水串起3市,建设集旅游观光、生态绿化、科技园区、住宅区和重点小城镇于一体的带状生态经济综合体,即湘江生态经济带,对整个长株潭都市区生态经济建设发挥重要作用。     

湖滨带的功能及其管理

湖滨带是水陆生态交错带的一种类型，具有重要的生态、社会和经济价值。湖滨带功能主要包括：缓冲带功能、生物多样性及生境保护功能、护岸功能和经济美学价值。湖滨带退化的原因主要是人为因素引起的生物群落结构的逆向演替及生态功能的下降，退化湖滨带生态恢复与重建的理论基础是恢复生态学。湖滨带管理的核心是湖滨带植被的正确管理，管理的目标是保护与湖滨带密切相关的各种资源和水生态系统，其管理措施主要包括：(1)建立植被缓冲带；(2)加强湖滨带规划和管理的政策研究；(3)加强湖滨带生态监测系统及生态评价指标体系的建设；(4)促进湖滨带管理的公众参与。     

浙东隆起带与西南日本黑濑川构造带地质演化之比较

浙东、闽北陈蔡群和建瓯群所构成的浙东隆起带,东延过东海后,与西南日本黑濑川构造带的寺野、肥后变质岩类连接,属“华夏—日本南方大陆”的北部残留地块,是受控于江山-绍兴-御荷(?)古断裂带而抬升暴露的.     

矿岩接触带巷道顶板沉降变形相似模拟试验研究

为分析矿岩接触带巷道顶板沉降变形对巷道稳定性的影响,以大冶铁矿尖林山矿区接触带巷道为研究对象,基于相似原理,构建了矿岩接触带巷道物理相似模拟试验模型,设计了沿巷道走向与矿岩接触面对称布置的应变位移计监测方案,分析了接触带巷道顶板沉降变形规律。研究结果表明:接触带巷道顶板两侧岩体沉降变形量和变形速率存在差异,接触带巷道大理岩侧顶板沉降量和沉降速率大于铁矿侧;邻近巷道开挖扰动对已开挖巷道顶板变形破坏有较大影响,增大了接触带巷道两侧岩体的沉降变形程度。结合大冶铁矿矿岩接触带巷道顶板沉降量监测数据,从顶板沉降量、沉降速率2个方面对比分析了相似模拟试验和现场监测试验结果,表明矿岩接触带巷道顶板沉降变形规律具有一致性。     

基于ZSI岩溶溶洞对基坑开挖的影响

为了研究大连多岩溶区的复杂地质条件对基坑开挖的影响,运用有限差分软件FLAC3D对不同溶洞位置的基坑进行模拟,得到位移变化规律。同时利用单元安全状态评价指标ZSI(Zone State Index)对不同溶洞位置下基坑周围土体进行评价,针对影响较大区域溶洞提出合理的溶洞处理方案。研究结果表明:溶洞对基坑稳定性影响程度由大到小依次是被动区、过渡区、主动区。针对被动区溶洞采取开挖前注浆处理,通过对大连地区深基坑进行数值模拟确定的不同溶洞位置对基坑影响程度具有一定的指导意义,可为岩溶地区深基坑工程的设计与施工提供参考。     

An assessment of urban development into coastal wetlands using historical aerial photography: a case study

Like many other states in the USA, Virginia passed legislation to protect coastal wetlands with limited information on the rate and location of past wetlands conversions. This information, however, can be useful in the design of cost-effective and flexible programs for wetlands management, particularly when such information is used in combination with studies of the socioeconomic value of wetlands. This paper reports on the use of photogrammetric and interpretive methods to determine historical changes in wetlands use for Virginia Beach and Accomack counties, Virginia. Conclusions are drawn as to the use of such information in policy design and program monitoring.     

ENHANCEMENT OF RIPARIAN ECOSYSTEMS WITH CHANNEL STRUCTURES1

ABSTRACT: Naturally occurring and man-made structures can be used for enhancing the development of riparian zones. Naturally occurring structures are cienagas, beaver dams, and log steps. Man-made structures include large and small channel structures and bank protection devices. All these structures affect streamflow hydraulics and sedimentation and can create a more favorable environment for riparian zone establishment. However, when they are used improperly, they can be destructive to existing riparian zones. Since stream processes are generally slow, long-time spans may pass before the effects of management action, good or bad, become visible. Also, the effects of large dam installations may appear a long distance downstream from the dam. Therefore, investigations must be of a wide scope. Interactions between riparian site, channel, and streamflow may be so complex that an interdisciplinary approach is required.     

Coastal zone development: Mitigation,marsh creation,and decision-making

Marsh creation is currently receiving wide attention in the United States as an important tool for mitigating the impacts of development in coastal wetlands. The perception that there is no net loss in valuable coastal wetlands when development is mitigated by the creation of man-made marshes can have a substantial impact on the permitting and decision-making processes. The effective result may be the trading of natural salt marshes for man-made marshes.Techniques for marsh creation were developed by the US Army Corps of Engineers to enhance and stabilize dredge spoil materials. Most research sponsored by the Corps has been directed at determining whether these goals have been accomplished. A survey of the research indicates that there is insufficient evidence to conclude that man-made marshes function like natural salt marshes or provide the important values of natural marshes. It is necessary, therefore, for decision-makers to understand the limitations of present knowledge about man-made marshes, realistically evaluate the trade-offs involved, and relegate mitigation to its proper role in the permitting process—post facto conditions imposed on developments that clearly meet state qualifications and policies.     

Regulation for environmental protection: The Nanticoke industrial complex,Ontario, Canada

This assessment of the environmental protection regulatory system for the $2.2 billion iron and steel plant, oil refinery, and thermal generating station composing the core of the greenfield Nanticoke industrial complex is based upon: the use of governmental and industrial research in project management; technology and institutional arrangements for environmental protection; evidence of environmental changes to date; analysis of government and industrial approval files; and interviews with government, industry, and interest group representatives. Planning, regulation, and management have been reasonably efficient and effective to the beginning of the operational stage for all three major industries as of spring 1980. Of major future concern, however, is management of the cumulative and synergistic impacts of the industries and associated development on air quality as well as the lands, waters, and sensitive ecosystems of the nearby Lake Erie coast. Continuous monitoring, more comprehensive research, and better overall coordination of government, industrial, and public interests are required if Nanticoke benefits are to be achieved without undue cost to pre-project resource users within and outside the Haldimand-Norfolk region.
