Global patterns and trends in human–wildlife conflict compensation

Human–wildlife conflict is a major conservation challenge, and compensation for wildlife damage is a widely used economic tool to mitigate this conflict. The effectiveness of this management tool is widely debated. The relative importance of factors associated with compensation success is unclear, and little is known about global geographic or taxonomic differences in the application of compensation programs. We reviewed research on wildlife‐damage compensation to determine geographic and taxonomic gaps, analyze patterns of positive and negative comments related to compensation, and assess the relative magnitude of global compensation payments. We analyzed 288 publications referencing wildlife compensation and identified 138 unique compensation programs. These publications reported US$222 million (adjusted for inflation) spent on compensation in 50 countries since 1980. Europeans published the most articles, and compensation funding was highest in Europe, where depredation by wolves and bears was the most frequently compensated damage. Authors of the publications we reviewed made twice as many negative comments as positive comments about compensation. Three‐quarters of the negative comments related to program administration. Conversely, three‐quarters of the positive comments related to program outcomes. The 3 most common suggestions to improve compensation programs included requiring claimants to employ damage‐prevention practices, such as improving livestock husbandry or fencing of crops to receive compensation (n = 25, 15%); modifying ex post compensation schemes to some form of outcome‐based performance payment (n = 21, 12%); and altering programs to make compensation payments more quickly (n = 14, 8%). We suggest that further understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of compensation as a conflict‐mitigation tool will require more systematic evaluation of the factors driving these opinions and that differentiating process and outcomes and understanding linkages between them will result in more fruitful analyses and ultimately more effective conflict mitigation.

Flocculating characteristic of activated sludge flocs: Interaction between Al3+ and extracellular polymeric substances

Aluminum flocculant can enhance the flocculating performance of activated sludge.However,the binding mechanism of aluminum ion(Al 3+) and extracellular polymeric substances(EPS) in activated sludge is unclear due to the complexity of EPS.In this work,threedimensional excitation emission matrix fluorescence spectroscopy(3DEEM),fluorescence quenching titration and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR) were used to explore the binding behavior and mechanism between Al 3+ and EPS.The results showed that two fluorescence peaks of tyrosineand tryptophan-like substances were identified in the loosely bound-extracellular polymeric substances(LB-EPS),and three peaks of tyrosine-,tryptophanand humic-like substances were identified in the tightly boundextracellular polymeric substances(TB-EPS).It was found that these fluorescence peaks could be quenched with Al 3+ at the dosage of 3.0 mg/L,which demonstrated that strong interactions took place between the EPS and Al 3+.The conditional stability constants for Al 3+ and EPS were determined by the Stern-Volmer equation.As to the binding mechanism,the-OH,N-H,C=O,C-N groups and the sulfurand phosphorus-containing groups showed complexation action,although the groups in the LB-EPS and TB-EPS showed different behavior.The TB-EPS have stronger binding ability to Al 3+ than the LB-EPS,and TB-EPS play an important role in the interaction with Al 3+.     

pH和Ni2+对人工纳米氧化硅吸附菲的影响

为了揭示菲在人工纳米氧化硅上的吸附行为,采用批量平衡实验对比研究了灼烧前后纳米氧化硅对菲的吸附,考察了pH值和重金属离子(Ni2+)对吸附行为的影响,并应用位点能量分布模型分析了菲吸附行为的变化.结果表明,吸附数据可用Freundlich模型较好地拟合,高温灼烧后纳米氧化硅对菲的吸附增加,lgKF由1.48增加到2.43;吸附的非线性也增加,结合孔分布及表面积变化,说明纳米氧化硅对菲的吸附为孔填充与表面吸附共同作用,内部孔对菲的吸附起主要作用.pH值的变化没有显著改变原始纳米氧化硅对菲的吸附;但是显著影响灼烧后纳米氧化硅对菲的吸附,吸附随着pH值的增加而降低,pH值由4.0增加到8.0,lgKF减少了73.7%.主要因为提高pH值,可明显增加灼烧纳米氧化硅的表面电荷,降低孔的可及性.不同浓度的Ni2+对菲吸附的影响不同,在Ni2+低浓度时(<5 mmol.L-1),表现为吸附抑制;在Ni2+高浓度时,对低浓度菲(50μg.L-1)表现为促进吸附,对高浓度菲(500μg.L-1)吸附的抑制程度不再增加.这是多个机制共同作用的结果.

Difference in calcium ion precipitation between free and immobilized Halovibrio mesolongii HMY2

Biomineralization has become a research focus in wastewater treatment due to its much lower costs compared to traditional methods. However, the low sodium chloride (NaCl)-tolerance of bacteria limits applications to only water with low NaCl concentrations. Here, calcium ions in hypersaline wastewater (10% NaCl) were precipitated by free and immobilized Halovibrio mesolongii HMY2 bacteria and the differences between them were determined. The results show that calcium ions can be transformed into several types of calcium carbonate with a range of morphologies, abundant organic functional groups (C-H, C-O-C, C=O, etc), protein secondary structures (β-sheet, α-helix, 3₁₀ helix, and β-turn), P=O and S-H indicated by P2p and S2p, and more negative δ¹³C_PDB (‰) values (-16.8‰ to -18.4‰). The optimal conditions for the immobilized bacteria were determined by doing experiments with six factors and five levels and using response surface method. Under the action of two groups of immobilized bacteria prepared under the optimal conditions, by the 10^th day, Ca²⁺ ion precipitation ratios had increased to 79%-89% and 80%-88% with changes in magnesium ion cencentrations. Magnesium ions can significantly inhibit the calcium ion precipitation, and this inhibitory effect can be decreased under the action of immobilized bacteria. Minerals induced by immobilized bacteria always aggregated together, had higher contents of Mg, P, and S, lower stable carbon isotope values and less well-developed protein secondary structures. This study demonstrates an economic and eco-friendly method for recycling calcium ions in hypersaline wastewater, providing an easy step in the process of desalination.     

碘离子对次氯酸氧化一价铊动力学影响及机理研究

铊(Tl)是一种在环境水体中广泛存在的痕量重金属,由于其对生物体毒性巨大,国家和地方高度重视铊污染防治,并将其作为优先监测的重金属污染物之一。氧化法是一种常用并且有效的除铊方法,该方法通过将一价铊(Tl (I))预氧化为更容易沉积的三价铊(Tl (Ⅲ))来实现总铊的去除,但容易受到水体中卤素离子的影响。本研究以水处理中常用的次氯酸钠(NaOCl)作为典型氧化剂,通过采用ABTS分光光度法检测生成Tl (Ⅲ)的浓度变化,考察了环境中常见的卤素碘离子对Tl (I)在这种典型氧化过程动力学中的影响,并结合动力学模型对其机理进行了探究。结果表明,在HOCl氧化过程中,碘离子的加入在pH为6.0、7.0和8.0时均表现出了促进Tl (I)氧化的现象,其中碘离子浓度在高于100 μmol/L时才有明显的催化氧化作用,且在100～1 000 μmol/L浓度范围内反应速率随着碘离子浓度升高氧化速率加快。在酸性和中性条件下500 μmol/L碘离子催化HOCl氧化Tl (I)符合假一级动力学过程,且随着pH的升高反应速率常数逐渐降低。推测碘离子的催化氧化作用为碘离子被次氯酸氧化后,产生具有更强氧化性的次碘酸进而继续氧化Tl (I)。本研究探究了在次氯酸氧化Tl (I)过程中,以碘离子为代表的卤素离子的存在对氧化过程的影响,突出了碘离子在影响Tl (I)氧化动力学中的关键作用。这对于完善铊的氧化还原性质以及评估含卤水中铊的去除策略,保障饮用水安全具有重要意义。
