快速城镇化地区生态系统服务的时空动态及权衡与协同分析——以苏锡常地区为例

苏锡常是我国经济飞速发展地区之一,也是重要的粮食生产基地.在快速城镇化背景下,该地区生态环境受到人类活动的强烈冲击,国土空间配置亟待优化.本研究基于多源数据,对苏锡常地区2000～2018年碳储存、食物供给、维持生物多样性3种生态系统服务的时空格局及演变特征进行刻画,并运用双变量空间自相关方法识别了生态系统服务之间的相互关系.结果 表明:(1)整体来看,2000～2018年,苏锡常地区的碳储存服务略有上升,食物供给服务和维持生物多样性服务波动下降;(2)苏锡常地区生态系统服务空间分布严重失衡,表现为中部建成区低,四周自然用地高的分布特点,城镇扩张区各类型生态系统服务退化较为严重;(3)在权衡与协同分析中,碳储存-食物供给服务、碳储存-维持生物多样性服务呈现协同关系,食物供给-维持生物多样性服务呈现权衡关系;(4)各项生态系统服务的权衡与协同关系存在空间差异,低值协同区集中分布在城市中心,高值协同区主要分布在西侧与南侧林地范围,低-高值与高-低值权衡区在空间上呈环绕相间分布.苏锡常地区在未来的发展中需要注意低值协同区和权衡区,有针对性地制定生态保护修复措施,合理调控社会经济发展,实现生态系统服务的协同增效.

Conversion of waste plastics into value-added carbon materials

Plastic pollution is a major environmental issue worldwide, calling for advanced methods to recycle waste plastics in the context of the circular economy. Here we review methods and strategies to convert waste plastics into value-added carbon materials, with focus on sources, properties, pretreatment of waste plastics, and on preparation of carbon materials. Pretreatment techniques include mechanical crushing, plastic stabilization and electrospinning. Carbon materials such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, carbon nanosheets, carbon spheres and porous carbon are prepared by oxygen-limited carbonization, catalytic carbonization, the template-based method, and pressure carbonization. We emphasize the conversion of polyethene terephthalate, polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, halogenated plastics, polyurethane and mixed plastics.
