黄土丘陵区典型植被枯落物坡面分布及混入土壤对土壤性状的影响

黄土丘陵区植被的恢复可能影响枯落物分布特征,进而对土壤性状产生影响。论文选取刺槐（Robinia pseudoacacia）人工林、柠条（Caragana intermedia）人工林、铁杆蒿（Artemisia gmelini）群落和白羊草（Bothriochloa ischaemum）群落4种典型植被样地,研究其枯落物坡面（坡长40~80 m）分布特征及自然条件混入土壤中对土壤理化性状的影响。结果表明：1）4种典型植被样地地表枯落物蓄积量（143.89~833.04 g/m²）、盖度（0.36~0.63）和厚度（0.77~2.03 cm）均表现为刺槐人工林>柠条人工林>铁杆蒿群落>白羊草群落;土壤中枯落物混入量（178.80~657.21 g/m²）和混入深度（1.33~2.29 cm）均表现为刺槐人工林>铁杆蒿群落>柠条人工林>白羊草群落;土壤中枯落物混入量占枯落物总蓄积量的比例（45.91%~74.02%）表现为铁杆蒿群落>柠条人工林>白羊草群落>刺槐人工林。2）4种典型植被样地地表枯落物蓄积量和土壤中枯落物混入量均为坡下高于坡上,受径流冲刷和泥沙分离—输移—沉积过程的影响,枯落物地表蓄积量和土壤混入量在坡中波动较大;随枯落物地表盖度的增加,地表枯落物蓄积量呈指数函数增加（P<0.01）,且随地表枯落物蓄积量的增加,土壤中枯落物混入量呈对数函数增加（P<0.01）。3）土壤容重、粘结力和水稳性团聚体几何平均直径（WAS-GMD）随土壤中枯落物混入量的增大而线性降低（P<0.01）,土壤有机碳和全氮含量在铁杆蒿群落和白羊草群落中均随土壤中枯落物混入量的增大而线性增加（P<0.05）。该研究将为评价黄土高原退耕还林还（草）工程生态成效、修正土壤侵蚀预报模型提供重要依据。     

水力空化对褐煤水煤浆流变特性影响的试验研究

介绍了水力空化作用机理,研究了水力空化作用对褐煤水煤浆粘度的影响,探讨了空化后浆体内存在气泡的形态及影响关系。试验结果表明:水力空化处理后的水煤浆浆体流动性变好,水煤浆的粘度特性已由假塑性流体变成了类似牛顿流体;速度梯度为100 s-1时的粘度指标由320 mPa·s提高到340 mPa·s,速度梯度为30 s-1时的粘度指标由420 mPa·s提高到850 mPa·s,30μm以下的细粒级含量明显高于空化前粒级的含量;水力空化作用在水煤浆中引入了大量不易消失的圆形微细气泡,气泡的占位作用提高了水煤浆粘度和稳定性,微细气泡的布朗运动破坏了颗粒之间的静电力吸附,圆形微细气泡成为水煤浆浆体流动过程中的润滑剂并改善水煤浆流变性能。

The case against free market environmentalism

Free market environmentalists believe that the extension of private property rights and market transactions is sufficient to address environmental difficulties. But there is no invisible hand operating in markets that ensures that environmentally sound practices will be employed just because property rights are in private hands. Also, liability laws and the court systems cannot be relied upon to force polluters to internalize the social costs of pollution. Third, market prices do not provide an objective measure of environmental matters. Finally, there is a right to a livable environment that justifies regulations protecting the public from unreasonable environmental risks.

INVESTOR OWNED VS. PUBLICLY OWNED WATER AGENCIES: AN EVALUATION OF THE PROPERTY RIGHTS THEORY OF THE FIRM1

ABSTRACT: The property rights theory of the firm is evaluated by comparing the cost structures of a sample of water agencies under two alternative modes of ownership - public and investor owned. On the basis of the sample, investor owned water agencies appear to have lower cost structures.     

AN ALTERNATIVE TO WATER POLLUTION CONTROLS1

ABSTRACT: A hypothetical, although realistic, water pollution problem was studied from a property rights viewpoint. Theoretical and economic justifications were developed. A fully-liable, private owner was found to be financially profitable while improving the water quality and providing recreational potential. The example confirmed that property rights provides an answer to stream pollution problems, but contradicted the view that water pollution control must be justified by recreational benefits.     

The (un)common good: diverging justifications for wilderness making in a modified landscape

ABSTRACT

Wilderness is most often conceived as comprising large remote areas where evidence of human influence is slight. Little attention has been afforded to the study of wilderness ‘making’ in smaller landscapes that have been heavily modified by human activity. This paper addresses this knowledge deficit by employing the pragmatic sociology of Boltanski and Thévenot to analyse a case study of wilderness making in the west of Ireland. The application of this framework illustrates how contending positions on ‘why’ wilderness making should occur and ‘how’ it should be conducted reflect ethical frameworks rooted in different conceptions of the ‘common good’ presented by the idea of wilderness. The paper demonstrates the difficulties with developing such a new nature-based concept in the absence of conventional (received) ideas of wilderness by revealing how the diverging justifications used suggest incommensurability in the competing notions of wilderness that are formulated and advanced.     

Relation of Lake Acidification and Recovery to Fish,Common Loon and Common Merganser Occurrence in Algoma Lakes

Models are needed that predict both spatial and temporal improvements to ecosystems following reductions of acidifying emissions that produce `acid rain'. Logistic regression models were developed for the occurrence of fish and two fish-eatingbirds, common loons (Gavia immer) and common mergansers(Mergus merganser), using monitoring data collected onlakes across Ontario. These models were applied in the Algomaregion, including the Turkey Lakes Watershed (TLW). Using theWaterfowl Acidification Response Modeling System (WARMS), severalSO₂ emission reduction scenarios were simulated, i.e. thosecontributing to measured 1982–1986 sulphate deposition levels, 1994levels (corresponding to full implementation of Canadian SO₂emission reductions as stipulated in the 1991 Canada/U.S. AirQuality Agreement), 2010 levels (1994 plus full U.S. reductions),and both a 50% and a 75% further reduction beyond 2010 levels. Some habitat improvements in Algoma were predicted under the 2010scenario for all biota, but substantial increases in habitatquality, especially for mergansers, would occur only under further reductions. The TLW showed little change in chemistry orbiota, while lakes near the Montreal River were predicted toimprove substantially.     

Studies on the pyrolysis behavior of gasification and melting systems for municipal solid waste

 It is important to investigate the pyrolysis processes of municipal solid waste (MSW) in the same way as for any mixture comprised of multiple substances. In this article, a two-reaction model for a variety of MSW mixtures is proposed to predict mass changes due to pyrolysis. In order to formulate the model based on pyrolysis kinetics, we conducted experiments to determine the kinetic model parameters. By thermal analysis of the typical components of MSW, mass changes attributable to the pyrolysis reaction were found at about 350°C for paper, 400°–500°C for plastics, and 200°–400°C for garbage (dry condition). Activation energies were obtained by the Ozawa method based on the mass changes in pyrolysis. Thus, the pyrolysis behavior is formulated as a function of temperature. Then the pyrolysis mass change of the mixture can be predicted by using a weighted sum of the individual components. The model proved useful in experiments with real waste (refuse-derived fuels). Furthermore, the weight yields (pyrolysis gas, tars, solid residues) of the mixture can be calculated by their additive property after measuring the mass balance of each component.
