Land use as a mitigation strategy for the water-quality impacts of global warming: a scenario analysis on two watersheds in the Ohio River Basin

This study uses an integrative approach to study the water-quality impacts of future global climate and land-use changes. In this study, changing land-use types was used as a mitigation strategy to reduce the adverse impacts of global climate change on water resources. The climate scenarios were based on projections made by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and the United Kingdom Hadley Centre's climate model (HadCM2). The Thornthwaite water-balance model was coupled with a land-use model (L-THIA) to investigate the hydrologic effects of future climate and land-use changes in the Ohio River Basin. The land-use model is based on the Soil Conservation Service's curve-number method. It uses the curve number, an index of land use and soil type, to calculate runoff volume and depth. The ArcView programming language, Avenue, was used to integrate the two models into a geographic information system (GIS). An output of the water-balance model, daily precipitation values adjusted for potential evapotranspiration, served as one of the inputs into the land-use model. Two watersheds were used in the present study: one containing the city of Cincinnati on the main stem of the Ohio River, and one containing the city of Columbus on a tributary of the Ohio River. These cities represent two major metropolitan areas in the Ohio River Basin with different land uses experiencing different rates of population growth. The projected hypothetical land-use changes were based on linear extrapolations of current population data. Results of the analyses indicate that conversion from agricultural land use to low-density residential land use may decrease the amount of surface runoff. The land-use practices which generate the least amount of runoff are forest, low-density residential, and agriculture; whereas high-density residential and commercial land-use types produce the highest runoff. The hydrologic soil type present was also an important factor in determining the amount of runoff and non-point-source pollution. A runoff-depth matrix and total nitrogen matrix were created for Cincinnati and Columbus to describe possible land-use mitigation measures in response to global climate change. The differences in Cincinnati and Columbus were due to differences in geographic location, air temperature, and total runoff. The results of this study may be useful to planners and policy makers for defining the possible impacts of future global climate and land-use changes on water resources.     

喀喇昆仑山-昆仑山植物区系的一般特征及植物资源的保护与开发利用

本文根据1987—1988年两年考察的结果,初步讨论了喀喇昆仑—昆仑山地区植物区系的一般特征:1.植物种类比较贫乏高等植物仅243属约700种;2.北温带分布型属占绝对优势;3.以桑株河谷为界,昆仑山西段与东段的植物区系有很大差异;4.无严格的特有属,但种的分化强烈,种群数量大。本区由于极端干旱,自然生态系统十分脆弱,而森林和各类天然植被在维护本区自然生态系统平衡方面,起着十分重大的作用。在严格保护使森林和各类自然植被不致破坏的前提下,提出本区最有可能开发利用的植物资源是药用植物资源,除许多著名的中药外,应着重开发利用红景天属(Rhodiola)、风毛菊属(Saussurea)、葱属(Allium)的药用植物,并对当地的民族药物矮膜苞芹(Hymnolaena nana)等,进行深入研究。     

江苏宿迁地震台短水准测量场地改造的探讨

地震前兆数据观测中,经常会遇到各种干扰,有的干扰可以很快排除,但有的是无法排除的.目前我们的短水准受到铺路影响就属于后一种情形,它直接影响到我们测量场地的生存.为了让观测数据得以延续,我们努力寻找解决问题的办法,最后采用把观测点平移再对比观测的方法来解决问题.

[美食]与动物福利

说到“美食与环保”，人们自然会想到健康食品、无公害食品、绿色食品、自然食品、有机食品之类的标签，脑子里浮现出“土鸡（广东称走地鸡）”、“柴鸡蛋”等鲜活的形象。没污染、低农药残留甚至不施用农药、用农家肥而不是化肥，散养而非圈养等是其获得以上标签的要件。似乎关注环保，食品自然美味。     

中水回用工程投建与运行实践

沈阳理工大学学生城中水设施的建设，不仅提高了水资源的重复利用率，创造良好的环境效益和经济效益，同时也为中水回用工作的推广实施积累了经验。尤其是采用比较简单的污水处理工艺达到中水回用的标准，其中最主要的部分是沉淀和生物接触氧化以及最后的过滤和消毒，这样的工艺比较适合中等规模的投资，从回用水的经济效益上看这样的中水回用系统还是比较适合推广。

危险化学品活性反应危害及混配危险的规则研究(Ⅴ)

第十四类有机酸 活性特点: 羧酸是具有HO-C=O官能团的有机物.在羧酸中,碳原子以SP2杂化成键,羟基氧的孤电子对与碳氧双键相共轭,使得C-O键加强,O-H键减弱,从而羧基中的氢可以离解,并且离解后形成的羧基负离子由于共轭加强,更增加了羧基负离子的稳定性,因而羧酸具有弱酸性.同时,也正是由于共轭而使羧基碳的亲电能力减弱,只与较强的亲核试剂(如金属烷氧化物)发生反应.
