California’s population increased 25% between 1980 and 1990, resulting in rapid and extensive urbanization. Of a total 123,000
ha urbanized in 42 of the state’s 58 counties between 1984 and 1990, an estimated 13% occurred on irrigated prime farmland,
and 48% on wildlands or fallow marginal farmlands. Sixty-six percent of all new irrigated farmland put into production between
1984 and 1990 was of lesser quality than the prime farmland taken out of production by urbanization. Factors dictating the
agricultural development of marginal farmlands include the availability and price of water and land, agricultural commodity
prices, and technical innovations such as drip irrigation systems that impact the feasibility and costs of production. The
increasing amount of marginal farmland being put into production could have significant water quality consequences because
marginal lands are generally steeper, have more erodible soils, poorer drainage, and require more fertilizer than prime farmlands.
Although no data exist to test our hypothesis, and numerous variables preclude definitive predictions, the evidence suggests
that new irrigated marginal lands can increase nonpoint source (NPS) pollution for a given size area by an order of magnitude
in some cases. 相似文献

It is increasingly obvious that social science, while not a sufficient condition for making ecosystem management effective, is a necessary condition. A social science typology of ecosystems is developed, applied, and shown to have substantial and unexpected implications for the practice of ecosystem management. Ecologists and environmental scientists, in particular, will find some conclusions uncomfortable. The application involves a case material from the California northern spotted owl controversy. 相似文献

An analytic network process approach for locating undesirable facilities: an example from Istanbul, Turkey 总被引:5,自引:1,他引:4
Locating an undesirable facility is a sophisticated problem, for the evaluation procedures involve several objectives and the solution to the problem calls for some compromises to be made between probable conflicting criteria. This paper addresses the problem of undesirable facility location selection using the analytic network process (ANP), a multi-criteria decision-making technique. The ANP technique enables us to consider both qualitative and quantitative criteria as well as the interdependencies and feedbacks. A number of criteria (benefits, opportunities, costs and risks) and their sub-criteria are considered for siting a new facility with which this study has dealt. The questions of what criteria would be considered and what the interdependencies between these criteria and their weights would be were discussed and determined via interviews with some competent authorities of the Istanbul Municipality and of two environmental organizations. Four representative locations were evaluated and the most convenient one was selected. This was followed by the sensitivity analyses of the results. 相似文献
