To address the limited application of analytical and modelling techniques in prioritizing revegetation sites for dryland salinity (saline land) management, a case study of the Hodgson Creek catchment in Queensland, Australia, was conducted. An analytical framework was developed, incorporating the use of spatial datasets (Landsat 7 image, DEM, soil map, and salinity map), which were processed using digital image processing techniques and a geographic information system (GIS). Revegetation sites were mapped and their priority determined based on recharge area, land use/cover and sub‐catchment salinity. The analytical framework presented here enhances the systematic use of land information, widens the scope for scenario testing, and improves the testing of alternative revegetation options. The spatial patterns of revegetation sites could provide an additional set of information relevant in the design of revegetation strategies. 相似文献

The wide application of microalgae in the field of wastewater treatment and bioenergy source has improved research studies in the past years. Microalgae represent a good source of biomass and bio-products which are used in different medical and industrial activities, among them the production of high-valued products and biofuels. The present review focused on greywater treatment through the application of phycoremediation technique with microalgae and presented recent advances in technologies used for harvesting the microalgae biomass. The advantages and disadvantages of each method are discussed. The microbiological aspects of production, harvesting and utilization of microalgae biomass are viewed. 相似文献

Rapid growth of intensive animal industries in southeast Queensland, Australia, has led to large volumes of animal waste production,
which posses serious environmental problems in the Murray Darling Basin (MDB). This study presents a method of selecting sites
for the safe application of animal waste as fertiliser to agricultural land. A site suitability map for the Westbrook subcatchment
within the MDB was created using a geographic information system (GIS)-based weighted linear combination (WLC) model. The
factors affecting the suitability of a site for animal waste application were selected, and digital data sets derived from
up to 1:50,000 scale maps were acquired. After initial preprocessing, digital data sets were clipped to the size of the delineated
subcatchment boundary producing input factors. These input factors were weighted using the analytical hierarchy process (AHP)
that employed an objectives-oriented comparison (OOC) technique to formulate the pairwise comparison matrix. The OOC technique,
which is capable of deriving factor weight independently, formulated the weight derivation process by making it more logical
and systematic. The factor attributes were classified into multiple classes and weighted using the AHP. The effects of the
number of input factors and factor weighting on the areal extent and the degree of site suitability were examined. Due to
the presence of large nonagricultural and residential areas in the subcatchment, only 16% of the area was found suitable for
animal waste application. The areal extent resulting from this site suitability assessment was found to be dependent on the
areal constraints imposed on each input factor, while the degree of suitability was principally a function of the weight distribution
between the factors. 相似文献

Geographic information system based manure application plan 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
A geographic information system (GIS) based manure application plan has been developed for the site-specific application of animal waste to agricultural fields in the Westbrook sub-catchment of the Murray-Darling Basin, south-east Queensland, Australia. Sites suitable for animal waste application were identified using a GIS based weighted linear combination (WLC) model. The degree of land suitability for animal waste application was determined using a range of social, economic, environmental, and agricultural factors. As eutrophication and toxic blue-green algae blooms are a known problem in the catchment, the manure application rates were limited to the rate of crop phosphorus removal. Maximum manure application rate was calculated spatially by taking the crop nutrient (P2O5) requirement and the manure nutrient (P2O5) content into account. The environmental suitability of the fields receiving animal waste was considered in prescribing the final application rate of solid and liquid manures generated by local animal production facilities. The degree of site suitability of the agricultural fields was also used to suggest manure management practices to minimise the socio-environmental risks and increase the nutrient use efficiency of the applied manure. The amount of ammonium nitrogen (NH4-N) that would be added to the soil by satisfying the P2O5 requirement using manure sources was also calculated and an applied NH4-N map was created. This map could be used to assist farmers identify additional nitrogen requirements after manure application. 相似文献

The positive effects of Polyacrylamide (PAM), which is used as a soil conditioner in furrow irrigation, on sediment transport, erosion, and infiltration have been investigated intensively in recent years. However, the effects of PAM have not been considered enough in irrigation system planning and design. As a result of increased infiltration because of PAM, advance time may be inversely affected and deep percolation increases. However, advance time in furrow irrigation is a crucial parameter in order to get high application efficiency. In this study, inverse effects of PAM were discussed, and as an alternative solution, the applicability of surge flow was investigated. PAM application significantly increased the advance time at the rates of 41.3-56.3% in the first irrigation. The application of surge flow with PAM removed this negative effect on advance time, where there was no statistically significant difference according to normal continuous flow (without PAM). PAM applications significantly increased the deep percolation, 80.3-117.1%. Surge flow with PAM had significantly positive effect on the deep percolation compared to continuous flow with PAM but not compared to normal continuous flow. These results suggested that irrigation planning should me made based on the new soil and flow conditions because of PAM usage, and surge flow can be a solution to these problems. 相似文献
