Ecosystems and their components provide a lot of benefits for the welfare of human beings. Coupled with increasing socioeconomic
development, most of the rapidly developing and transitional countries and regions have been experiencing dramatic land use
changes. This has resulted in a large amount of forestland, grassland, and wetland being occupied as residential and industrial
land or reclaimed for arable land, which in turn results in a sharp deterioration of ecosystem services around the world.
Shandong Province, an economically powerful province of China, was chosen as a case study in order to capture the impact of
socioeconomic development on ecosystem services. By way of the study, land uses and their changes were categorized between
1980 and 2006, and the ecosystem services capital and changes of 111 counties of Shandong Province in different phases were
evaluated, as well as the total ecosystem services capital, followed by the zoning of ecosystem services function region of
Shandong Province. We found that the counties in mountainous areas and wetlands, where generally the prefectural-level cities
are located with a rapid socioeconomic development, experienced a successive deterioration of ecosystem services especially
during the 2000s. Finally, three conservation strategies for managing and improving ecosystem services were proposed and discussed
with the aim of achieving coordinate and sustainable development of the socioeconomy, environment, and ecosystems not only
in Shandong Province but also in other provinces of China, as well as in other developing and transitional countries and regions. 相似文献
A large number of waste mobile phones have already been generated and are being generated. Various countries around the world have all been positively exploring the way of recycling and reuse when facing such a large amount of waste mobile phones. In some countries, processing waste mobile phones has been forming a complete industrial chain, which can not only recycle waste mobile phones to reduce their negative influence on the environment but also turn waste into treasure to acquire economic benefits dramatically. However, the situation of recycling waste mobile phones in China is not going well. Waste mobile phones are not formally covered by existing regulations and policies for the waste electric and electronic equipment in China. In order to explore an appropriate system to recover waste mobile phones, the mobile phone production and the amount of waste mobile phones are introduced in this paper, and status of waste mobile phones recycling is described; then, the disposal technology of electronic waste that would be most likely to be used for processing of electronic waste in industrial applications in the near future is reviewed. Finally, rationalization proposals are put forward based on the current recovery status of waste mobile phones for the purpose of promoting the development of recycling waste mobile phones in developing countries with a special emphasis on China. 相似文献
This study evaluated the individual and interactive effect of phenol and thiocyanate (SCN−) on partial nitritation (PN) activity using batch test and response surface methodology. The IC50 of phenol and SCN− on PN sludge were 5.6 and 351 mg L−1, respectively. The PN sludge was insensitive to phenol and SCN− at levels lower than 1.77 and 43.3 mg L−1, respectively. A regression model equation was developed and validated to predict the relative specific respiration rate (RSRR) of PN sludge exposed to different phenol and SCN− concentrations. In the range of independent variables, the most severe inhibition was observed with a valley value (17%) for RSRR, when the phenol and SCN− concentrations were 4.08 and 198 mg L−1, respectively. An isobole plot was used to judge the combined toxicity of phenol and SCN−, and the joint inhibitory effect was variable depending on the composition and concentration of the toxic components. Furthermore, the toxic compounds showed independent effects, which is the most common type of combined toxicity.
