Counting of visitors in the Meijendel dunes, The Netherlands

Accurate and sufficiently detailed information about recreation-related use of dune areas is necessary for their management. Long-term monitoring can provide this information. This paper presents the visitor counting programme used in the Meijendel dune area since 1992. The data collected during the first ten years are used to evaluate the method. The combination of mechanical vehicle counts and additional visual counts proved to be reliable and produced an accurate data set. Costs could be reduced through eventually reducing the number of counting locations and limiting the number of visual counts.

紫云英根瘤菌共生基因分布及其共生效应的多样性

从同一植株不同根瘤分离40株紫云英根瘤菌，所有菌株对10种抗生素的抗药性测定表明，该群体分为22个抗药类群，质粒检测显示所有公离株都含有质粒，质粒数1～4条，用快生型大豆根瘤菌USDA205质粒作参考，估测质粒Mr分布范围为83～226MU．根据图谱分析表明，该菌群可分为6个不同质粒型．各类型质粒通过与Dig-nodABC和Dig-nifHDK杂交，结果显示带有1条质粒的菌株其共生基因定位在染色体上．带有2条或2条以上质粒的菌株各拥有1条共生质粒，共生质粒Mr范围有差异，大约为117～220MU．研究结果也显示，不同质粒型的菌株其共生效应存在明显差异，其中第6质粒型的菌株共生固氮率最强，第1质粒型菌株共生固氮率较低．共生固氮能力最强的第6质粒型菌株，只占总菌数7．5％．     

Frontiers of protected areas versus forest exploitation: Assessing habitat network functionality in 16 case study regions globally

Exploitation of natural forests forms expanding frontiers. Simultaneously, protected area frontiers aim at maintaining functional habitat networks. To assess net effects of these frontiers, we examined 16 case study areas on five continents. We (1) mapped protected area instruments, (2) assessed their effectiveness, (3) mapped policy implementation tools, and (4) effects on protected areas originating from their surroundings. Results are given as follows: (1) conservation instruments covered 3–77%, (2) effectiveness of habitat networks depended on representativeness, habitat quality, functional connectivity, resource extraction in protected areas, time for landscape restoration, “paper parks”, “fortress conservation”, and data access, (3) regulatory policy instruments dominated over economic and informational, (4) negative matrix effects dominated over positive ones (protective forests, buffer zones, inaccessibility), which were restricted to former USSR and Costa Rica. Despite evidence-based knowledge about conservation targets, the importance of spatial segregation of conservation and use, and traditional knowledge, the trajectories for biodiversity conservation were generally negative.Supplementary InformationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s13280-021-01628-5.     

环保绞吸船清淤作业过程对湖泊水环境的影响

有效控制和减轻环保清淤施工过程对周边水体的影响,是减少二次污染和加强工程质量控制的关键措施。以长荡湖环保清淤四期工程中实施清淤作业的环保绞吸船为研究对象,通过现场监测和模拟实验,探究了环保绞吸船在水下施工过程中对周边水体水质的时空影响。结果表明,绞吸船作业对周边水体的总悬浮颗粒物 (TSS) 质量浓度影响最为显著,其影响范围约为50 m。通过模拟绞吸船施工后的底泥沉降过程,发现在停止扰动4 h后,上覆水中总氮 (TN) 、总磷 (TP) 和TSS分别下降至初始值的20%、7%和5%。底泥再悬浮扰动停止8 h后,绞吸船施工对周边水体影响基本消除。比较绞吸船作业前后柱状底泥中污染物质量分数的变化,清淤前后0~20 cm表层底泥中TN、TP、有机质 (OM) 和镉 (Cd) 等4种污染物的去除率分别为70%、73%、72%和85%。建议根据实际工况条件合理调整绞吸船施工扩散距离限制阈值;对于浅水湖泊应重点关注风浪和绞吸船施工影响叠加对于敏感水体的潜在不利影响。该研究结果可为类似湖泊环保清淤工程设计提供参考。     

A comparison between superfine magnesium hydroxide powders and commercial dry powders on fire suppression effectiveness

The effectiveness of superfine magnesium hydroxide powders and commercial dry powder in fire suppression were compared in a laboratory-scale, immovable fire suppression apparatus. The investigation focused on their suppression effectiveness under various pressures. It likewise studied the relationship between the powders’ surface structures and their effectiveness on fire suppression. The microcosmic structure of the powders was observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM), while the Thermal Gravity Analysis (TGA) technique was used to analyze the thermal behavior of the superfine magnesium hydroxide powders. By analyzing the results, it could be concluded that the pressure, the particle size, and the microcosmic structure of the powders’ surface mainly decide the capability of the powders to extinguish the fire. Comparing this with commercial dry powders, superfine magnesium hydroxide powders extinguished the fire in less than 10 s.

RURAL HOUSEHOLD RESPONSE TO WATER CONTAMINATION IN WEST VIRGINIA1

ABSTRACT: About one-third of all West Virginians obtain domestic water from private water wells. In this research, mail and telephone surveys were used to investigate household responses to bacteria, mineral, and organic chemical contamination of domestic water supplies. Of households who were informed of contamination and acknowledged the problem, over 85 percent took action to avoid exposure to water contamination problems. The most common action was to clean and/or repair the water system (55.9 percent of valid surveys). Approximately 45 percent of households made investments of either a water treatment system, a new water source, or correction of contamination source. The average, annual economic cost of rural household actions was $320 for bacteria, $357 for minerals, and $1,090 for organic contamination. These economic costs represent a lower bound estimate for rural household willingness-to-pay (WTP) for a reduction in domestic water contamination from government action. On average, investment actions had lower annual economic costs than noninvestment actions of boiling and hauling water so that households who undertook investment actions in response to water contamination would have a lower WTP for government action to reduce water contamination. When effectiveness of water treatment systems was evaluated, treatment systems which require minimal household maintenance were found to reduce exposure to water contamination to safe levels as households intended when they installed the system. Treatment systems which were commonly ineffective included those which required continual maintenance (e.g., chiorinators) or were not designed to solve the contaminant problem for which they were purchased (e.g., filter systems for bacteria).
