城市河流整治的生态规划要点——以北京市温榆河为例

在城市化进程中人们对城市河流的利用强度日益增大,在饱受污染危害之后,城市的规划和建设者注意到,河流不仅是饮水之源、排污渠道,更是人类生存的重要生态依托,因此,碧水工程已经成为各地城市生态整治的工作重点。但是,河流的生态功能是什么？服务功能又是什么？碧水工程不应只解决水质污染问题,而应保护和恢复河流的生态功能,利用好河流的生态服务功能。本文以北京市温榆河的生态规划为例,充分尊重河流的线性廊道特征,在景观生态学理论和技术的支持下,提出了修复温榆河生态通道功能和恢复天然河流水的运动规律的生态建设要点。     

Patterns of development and succession of vegetated hummocks in slacks of the Alexandria coastal dune field, South Africa

Dune hummocks (small aeolian dunes formed by sand deposition in and around pioneer plants) are the smallest vegetated dune unit; they occur along the entire South African coastline but are poorly studied. Structural properties and distribution of the two main hummock-forming plants:Arctotheca populifolia (a pioneer species with fast growth rate and rapid turnover) andGazania rigens (a later colonizer with slower growth) were investigated. A marked vegetation succession exists across the floor of the slack as a result of the migration of transverse dune ridges across the slack.Arctotheca hummocks were initiated on the newly exposed eastern margin of the slack, and were replaced about midway across the width of the slack byGazania hummocks. Hummocks increased in size with distance from the eastern side of the slack.Gazania hummocks attain a greater vegetation height, support a greater vegetation complexity and mass, and attain a larger maximum size thanArctotheca hummocks. Succession, defined as both the replacement of plant species as well as site modification within the plants over time, was evident. Since the growth form and dynamics determine (1) the ability of plants to trap wind-borne soil and detritus, (2) the shape of the hummocks, and (3) the habitat complexity available to spiders and insects, the ecology of the hummocks is probably determined largely by the vegetation characteristics of the hummock-forming plants.

普定县岩溶洼地的景观格局分析

岩溶洼地是我国西南地区典型的岩溶地貌类型之一,是国家进行环境治理和扶贫的重点区域。采用GIS与景观格局指数分析相结合的方法,对贵州省普定县岩溶洼地景观空间格局进行研究。依据各洼地斑块的面积大小,将洼地分成大型、中型和小型洼地3类。选取斑块数、斑块密度、面积周长分维数、平均临近指数、蔓延度指数、连接度指数、聚集度指数、散布与并列指数、Shannon多样性指数等9类景观格局指数,从整体景观水平和斑块类型水平这两个方面对岩溶洼地景观格局进行了分析。研究结果表明:普定县的洼地集中分布在南部和西北部;从总体景观水平上来看,景观受干扰的程度较大,结构比较复杂,类型比较丰富,异质性较强,整体景观分布较为离散,但各景观类型分布较为聚集;从斑块类型水平上来看,洼地景观类型相比非洼地景观类型、小型洼地景观类型相比大型洼地景观类型均呈现出斑块数多、破碎化程度高、聚集度略低、受自然条件制约程度高的特点。     

Effects of farm heterogeneity and methods for upscaling on modelled nitrogen losses in agricultural landscapes

The aim of this study is to illustrate the importance of farm scale heterogeneity on nitrogen (N) losses in agricultural landscapes. Results are exemplified with a chain of N models calculating farm-N balances and distributing the N-surplus to N-losses (volatilisation, denitrification, leaching) and soil-N accumulation/release in a Danish landscape. Possible non-linearities in upscaling are assessed by comparing average model results based on (i) individual farm level calculations and (ii) averaged inputs at landscape level. Effects of the non-linearities that appear when scaling up from farm to landscape are demonstrated. Especially in relation to ammonia losses the non-linearity between livestock density and N-loss is significant (p > 0.999), with around 20–30% difference compared to a scaling procedure not taking this non-linearity into account. A significant effect of farm type on soil N accumulation (p > 0.95) was also identified and needs to be included when modelling landscape level N-fluxes and greenhouse gas emissions.     

Effect of topography on nitrous oxide emissions from winter wheat fields in Central France

We assessed nitrous oxide (N₂O) emissions at shoulder and foot-slope positions along three sloping sites (1.6–2.1%) to identify the factors controlling the spatial variations in emissions. The three sites received same amounts of total nitrogen (N) input at 170 kg N ha⁻¹. Results showed that landscape positions had a significant, but not consistent effect on N₂O fluxes with larger emission in the foot-slope at only one of the three sites. The effect of soil inorganic N (NH₄⁺ + NO₃⁻) contents on N₂O fluxes (r² = 0.55, p < 0.001) was influenced by water-filled pore space (WFPS). Soil N₂O fluxes were related to inorganic N at WFPS > 60% (r² = 0.81, p < 0.001), and NH₄⁺ contents at WFPS < 60% (r² = 0.40, p < 0.01), respectively. Differences in WFPS between shoulder and foot-slope correlated linearly with differences in N₂O fluxes (r² = 0.45, p < 0.001). We conclude that spatial variations in N₂O emission were regulated by the influence of hydrological processes on soil aeration intensity.     

Landscape–seascape dynamics in the isthmus between S?rkapp Land and the rest of Spitsbergen: Will a new big Arctic island form?

Transformation of the glaciated isthmus between Sørkapp Land and the rest of Spitsbergen since 1900 is described. The landscape–seascape dynamics depends on the glacial recession determined by climate warming after the Little Ice Age (i.e., since the beginning of the twentieth century, and especially since the 1980s). The isthmus has been narrowed from 28 km in 1899–1900 to 6.2 km in 2013, and lowered by 60–200 m from 1936 to 2005. Two isthmus’ glaciers will have melted, given the current thermic conditions, by 2030–2035. It cannot be ruled out that Sørkapp Land will become an island after that period, because the altitude of the glaciers’ bedrock is close to the sea level. The disappearance of this huge ice mass, even without origin of a sound and island, will lead to a great transformation of the landscape and the ecosystem.

Assessing the Relationship Between Landscape Patterns and Nonpoint‐Source Pollution in the Danjiangkou Reservoir Basin in China1

Abstract: The constrained ordination method from quantitative ecology was utilized to assess the relationship between landscape patterns and nonpoint‐source (NPS) pollution for the purpose of identifying effective water‐quality improvement practices in Danjiangkou Reservoir (DJKR) basin, China. The soil and water assessment tool (SWAT) was applied to simulate NPS pollution and the Fragstats model was applied to calculate the landscape metrics. The study concluded that organic nutrients formed the main NPS pollutant in the DJKR basin and that most of the NPS pollution occurred along with soil loss. Based on partial redundancy analysis, the conclusion that landscape metrics were significantly correlated to NPS pollution indices was obtained. Specifically, the composition of LULC (land use/land cover) was the most effective factor to estimate NPS pollution. Dry cultivated land was identified as the main source of NPS pollution, and paddy fields were characterized with the most intensive soluble nutrients loss. In addition, the reason that fragmented and complex landscape patterns exacerbate NPS pollution was that natural landscape composed most of this area. Moreover, the fragmented natural landscape indicated intensive agricultural activities that were the crucial trigger for NPS pollution. Combined with the economic condition in China, Conversion of Cropland to Forests Program (CCFP) should be conducted selectively and gradually in the DJKR basin.
