How can public engagement assist in the development of just processes and outcomes in adaptation discourse and policymaking? A concern with justice is at the center of thinking about adaptation that is not only resilient, but also public, engaging, and transformative. Theoretically, the intersection of adaptation, transformation, and environmental and climate justice is examined, before exploring the specific concerns and normative foundations for adaptation policy articulated by local governments, environmental groups, and local residents engaged in adaptation planning in Australia. Despite a discursive disconnect between governmental focus on a risk or resilience-based approach and a community concern with the vulnerability of basic needs and capabilities of everyday life, deliberative engagement in adaptation planning can both address issues of justice and represent a transformative practice. 相似文献

ABSTRACTEcological democracy confronts a challenge of not only reconciling democracy and ecology, but doing so where human activities and their environmental consequences are increasingly global. Deliberative scholars dealing with these issues emphasise reflexive governance, involving the contestation of discourses, as part of the solution, mostly aimed at high-level institutions and intergovernmental cooperation. However, even at this level democracy demands responsiveness to the citizen. To this end, the paper explores citizen-level deliberation to inform possibilities for ecological democracy writ large, via a growing literature on deliberative governance and polycentrism. Different system levels are connected via ecologically reflexive capacity and the discursive conditions under which it is enhanced, including in small-scale minipublics. This understanding informs mechanisms for ‘scaling up’ deliberative quality to the wider public sphere via regulating the manipulation of public discourse. Minipublic deliberation, properly harnessed, can serve to decontaminate public debate of anti-reflexive strategic arguments and reshape public discourse. Such anti-reflexive strategies seek to shape the public will, specifically by de-emphasising ecology via intuitive arguments that short-cut public reasoning. Acting as discursive regulatory trustees, minipublics can improve reflexivity in the wider system via a nested polycentric approach that discursively connects citizens’ deliberation to the global system both horizontally and vertically. 相似文献

Summary. The among-leaves allocation of DIBOA, a hydroxamic acid associated with plant resistance, in the shoot of rye (Secale cereale) was evaluated over the vegetative development of the plant. The appropriateness of using the concentration of secondary
metabolites, DIBOA in this case, as the parameter to evaluate defense allocation in plants is discussed. Both biological and
statistical arguments are put forward to suggest that allocation of chemical defenses should refer to absolute content and
not to concentration. Results showed that leaf age was significantly linked to leaf concentration of DIBOA, young leaves having
higher concentrations. In contrast, leaf content of DIBOA, our proposed currency of allocation, was not significantly higher
in younger leaves. Furthermore, a regression analysis showed that the DIBOA content of leaves was better explained by the
leaf relative biomass (proportion of shoot biomass) than by leaf biomass itself. It is suggested that, rather than leaf age,
leaf relative biomass is the major factor determining DIBOA allocation in rye shoots. It is proposed that studies addressing
within-plant defense allocation should use chemical defense content as the currency, emphasizing the major factors driving
this process and its underlying mechanisms. Likewise, it is proposed that studies aiming at characterizing optimal patterns
of plant defense should use chemical defense concentration as the currency, and be accompanied by evaluations of the actual
resistance against herbivores of the plant parts analyzed, together with the effect on plant fitness.

This study examines urban pollution within Derechos Humanos, a colonia popular in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, Mexico. General water quality indicators (coliform bacteria, total dissolved solids, ecologically relevant cations and anions), heavy metals (copper, lead, nickel, zinc, iron and cadmium), and volatile organic compounds (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, styrene, and dichlorobenzene and xylene isomers) were quantified within a wastewater canal running adjacent to the community. Water samples were collected at multiple sites along the banks of the canal and evidence of anthropogenic emissions existed at each sampling location. Sample site 2, approximately 10 m upstream of the colonia, contained both the widest range of hazardous pollutants and the greatest number exceeding US Environmental Protection Agency surface water standards. At each sampling location, high concentrations of total coliform (> 10(4) colonies/100 mL sample), lead (ranging from 0.05 to 0.40 mg/L), nickel (levels from 0.21 to 1.45 mg/L), and benzene (up to 9.80 mg/L) were noted. 相似文献

Adaptation to climate-change impacts requires understanding of where impacts are to be expected and what their magnitude may
be. Adaptation funds are only a limited resource for helping affected parties in coping with climate-change impacts. The application
of suitable methods helps to determine the recipients of adaptation aid. A quantification of impacts based on different impact
analyses can aid in taking on various perspectives on the same problem in order to identify the appropriate perspective for
the given decision-making context or for identifying impact patterns. Once executed, this prioritizes adaptation needs and
finding a suitable allocation rule, given the policy makers perception of the decision-making context. The study introduces
a set of methods of spatially explicit, sub-national (province level), and country-wide impact analyses regarding inundation
impacts on agricultural areas for four important food crops in Indonesia. These methods are applied to a 1 and 2 m sea-level
rise scenario and include a novel approach for impact analyses, data envelopment analysis, which is not widely used in environmental
studies as of yet. Based on the given case study, the paper demonstrates the applicability of these methods and identifies
impact patterns. 相似文献

A denitrifying bacterium was isolated from activated sludge after enrichment on 4‐chlorophenol under anoxic, denitrifying conditions, and the microbial degradation of 4‐chlorophenol by this bacterium, with nitrate as the only electron acceptor, was investigated. The bacterium was capable of degrading up to 5 mM 4‐chlorophenol with stoichiometric release of chloride under denitrifying conditions. Anaerobic degradation of 4‐chlorophenol was dependent on nitrate as an electron acceptor. Nitrate (10 mM) severely inhibited the growth by the toxic effect of the accumulated nitrite. The optimum nitrate concentration for cell growth and chlorophenol degradation was 6 mM. 相似文献
