Heavy Metal Distribution in Valley Sediments in Wadi Al-Karak Catchment Area, South Jordan

Valley sediments samples collected from the major and minor valleys of Al-Karak catchment area (southern Jordan) were leached with hot dilute HCl and analysed for their heavy metals content. The results of leachable metal concentrations indicated the absence of anomalous values for metal occurrences. However, appreciable contamination of the sediments with Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd and Cr was observed. Using an index of pollution the extent of contamination was better delineated. The geographical distribution of the samples showed higher Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd and Cr concentrations mainly around heavily inhabited areas indicating an anthropogenic source of contamination. Lithological influence indicated from the anomalies of Fe and Mn was found to be very low.

Analysis of the Difference of the Basic Pension by Regions

Nowadays, the disparity of the basic pension in local regions of China can be described as follows: the low level of the unification of the basic pension systems, the large disparity of the level of the basic pension, and unfairness of the enterprises’ payment for the basic pension in different local regions in China. These have already brought many negative influences, which have greatly held back the development of the society and national economy. We should build the basic pension system in all local regions of China as a whole, which can cover all people and decrease the disparity in different local regions in China.     

退耕还林与贫困地区粮食安全的实证分析--以宁夏回族自治区为例

本文以实证分析的方法,以宁夏地区为例,通过研究该地区2003年200户退耕户和100户非退耕户之间。以及二者与1999年实行退耕还林政策前的人均粮食消费量和人均食品支出水平的变化,认为退耕户的粮食安全程度比非退耕户和退耕前的农户有了显著的提高,这种提高与农民的人均收入水平和人均耕地面积呈正相关,而与粮食播种面积比重呈负相关,因而可得得出结论：在生态脆弱地区实行退耕还林政策并不会影响当地农民的粮食安全。     

西部地区农业资源利用的效率分析及政策建议

农业生产能否持续发展直接决定着,区域可持续发展能否实现。农业生产活动以土地资源、水资源作为主要的生态要素．并以化肥等作为外界投入要素。西部地区农业生产用水占用水总量的70％以上,农业也是国家实施退耕还林（草）工程。进行生态建设的主战场。通过计算西部地区备省区的耕地、水资源,化肥等主要农业资源消耗系数。对西部地区主要农业资源的科用效率进行了评价。结果表明：西部地区耕地资源的平均消耗系数为2．68m^2／kg粮食,农业水资源的平均消耗系数为1．10m^2／kg粮食．化肥的平均消耗系数为0．078m^2/kg粮食。根据计算结果,提出了提高西部地区土地资源,水资源以及化肥资源利用效率的政策性建议。     

PART I: METHODOLOGY AND PROBLEMS IN AN URBANIZED ARID ENVIRONMENT1

The methodology of operations research is judged in relation to its utility to water resource management in an urbanized arid environment and to the study of worth of data for such management. Conditions for existence of a managerial problem are reviewed as is the multilevel structure of the decision process, including decisions on social goals for Western water use. Worth of data can only be judged in relation to a particular use to meet a social or managerial objective. The role of data uncertainty on the decision process is reviewed in the light of past water decisions and present and future problems.     

长江中下游地区湖泊富营养化的硅藻指示性属种

在对长江中下游地区45个湖泊表层沉积硅藻属种分布及多次季节性水样调查的基础上,研究了57个常见硅藻属种对总磷指标的生态学特征.利用加权平均回归方法,计算出常见属种对总磷指标响应的生态最佳值及忍耐幅度.根据生态学理论得出,属种Cyclotellameneghiniana、C.atomus、Stephanodiscusparvus、S.minutulus、Naviculasubminiscula是长江中下游湖泊富营养化发生的很好的指示性属种;而Aulacoseiraalpigea、Cyclostephanosdubius、C.tholiformis、C.invisitatus、Stephanodiscushantzschii、Naviculacirtrus、Nitzschiaagnita、N.subacicularis等则是潜在的湖泊富营养化的指示性属种.     

黑龙江省近50年来沼泽湿地退缩特征及其原因分析

在RS和GIS的支持下,综合集成1954年地形图和2000年TM影像重建黑龙江省1954~2000年沼泽湿地的空间信息矢量数据,结合斑块质心变化模型、景观参数和欧几里德最短距离函数,分析黑龙江省沼泽湿地退缩的区域分异特征,进一步从人类活动对沼泽退缩的影响的角度探讨沼泽退缩的原因。研究结果表明:黑龙江省近50年来,沼泽湿地面积急剧减少,由791.4×10⁴hm²减少到303.5×10⁴hm²;沼泽景观趋于破碎化;退缩的焦点区域主要集中在三江平原、大小兴安岭和松嫩平原。导致湿地退缩的人文原因主要包括三个方面:人口增加和耕地的不断开垦,国家建设国营农场的农业发展政策,与主要公路的空间区位关系。     

基于MRIO模型的中国省级区域碳足迹及碳转移研究

科学识别我国各省区碳足迹及省际间碳转移特点,对于促进全国统一碳市场的建立和运行具有重要意义.基于MRIO模型,自主编制了包括12个省级区域、14个行业的2007年中国区域间投入产出表,测算了这12个省级区域的碳足迹特点和省际间碳转移情况.结果显示:由于经济发展水平、产业结构、能源结构、工业化程度和人口等因素的不同,各省碳足迹特点呈现较大差异;我国存在由能源资源丰富地区和重化工业密集省份向经济发达地区和资源短缺省份的碳转移现象,其中,河北、山西和内蒙古三省对外省区呈现碳净调出态势且调出量较大;省际间距离越近,产业结构互补性越强,则省际间的碳转移规模也就越大.当前,我国应加快推进能源结构调整和产业升级转型;强化区域内省际之间的相互协作,降低碳减排成本;在未来全国碳排放权交易体系下,应综合考虑各省的碳足迹水平和省区间碳转移情况,科学界定各省区的碳排放责任,公平合理地分配碳排放配额,以促进我国碳市场的顺利运行.     

Chemical characteristics of trace metals in PM10 and their concentrated weighted trajectory analysis at Central Delhi, India

Trace metals associated with PM₁₀ aerosols and their variation during day and nighttime as well as during different seasons have been studied for the year 2012. PCA analysis suggested 5 PCs, which accounted for 86.8% cumulative variance. PC1 accounted for 30% with a significant loading of metals of anthropogenic origin, while PC2 showed 28% variance with the loading of metals of crustal origin. These trace metals showed seasonal distinct day and night time characteristics. The concentrations of Cu, Pb, and Cd were found to be higher during nighttime in all the seasons. Only Fe was observed with significantly higher mean concentrations during daytime of all seasons except monsoon. The highest mean values of Cu, Cd, Zn, and Pb during post-monsoon might be attributed to winds advection over the regions of waste/biomass burning and industrial activities in Punjab and Haryana regions. Furthermore, concentration weighted trajectory analysis suggested that metals of crustal origin were contributed by long-range transport while metals of anthropogenic and industrial activities were contributed by regional/local source regions.
