Evaluating and expanding the European Union's protected-area network toward potential post-2020 coverage targets

The Convention on Biological Diversity's (CBD) strategic plan will expire in 2020, but biodiversity loss is ongoing. Scientists call for more ambitious targets in the next agreement. The nature-needs-half movement, for example, has advocated conserving half of Earth to solve the biodiversity crisis, which has been translated to protecting 50% of each ecoregion. We evaluated current protection levels of ecoregions in the territory of one of the CBD's signatories, the European Union (EU). We also explored the possible enlargement of the Natura 2000 network to implement 30% or 50% ecoregion coverage in the EU member states’ protected area (PA) network. Based on the most recent land-use data, we examined whether ecoregions have enough natural area left to reach such high coverage targets. We used a spatially explicit mixed integer programing model to estimate the least-cost expansion of the PA network based on 3 scenarios that put different emphasis on total conservation cost, ecological representation of ecosystems, or emphasize an equal share of the burden among member states. To realize 30% and 50% ecoregion coverage, the EU would need to add 6.6% and 24.2%, respectively, of its terrestrial area to its PA network. For all 3 scenarios, the EU would need to designate most recommended new PAs in seminatural forests and other semi- or natural ecosystems. Because 15 ecoregions did not have enough natural area left to implement the ecoregion-coverage targets, some member states would also need to establish new PAs on productive land, allocating the largest share to arable land. Thirty percent ecoregion coverage was met by protecting remaining natural areas in all ecoregions except 3, where productive land would also need to be included. Our results support discussions of higher ecoregions protection targets for post-2020 biodiversity frameworks.

Dams and Flows: Immersing in Western Meaning Systems in Search of Ecocultural Reflexivity

In this unprecedented era of anthropogenic ecological destruction, this study illustrates inadequacies in conceptual language available in Western settings to think deeply and holistically about “nature.” At the same time, the study illustrates transformative potential of moments of ecocultural reflexivity. Using free write methodology, we examine ways participants in the United States, New Zealand, and Australia articulate what they mean when they say “nature.” We interpret participant streams of consciousness as representative of a wider Western river-way, a channel of dominant, multiple, and contradictory meanings in continuous movement. We identify conceptual obstructions that provide glimpses into ways Western ecological relations are bounded and dammed by binary, fragmented, and unconsidered meanings. Yet reflexivity in the face of such obstructions, and in potent ecocultural side streams of childhood remembering and ecocentric cosmology, provides some participants a lucid flow of regenerative narratives at a time such shared stories are urgently needed.     

易自燃厚煤层工作面自然发火CO预测及防治

为了有效预防遗煤自燃,深入研究自然发火初期的CO预测技术。基于回风隅角CO源的理论模型,以Gambit建立相似二维采场模型,数值模拟了采空区自燃“三带”范围,并采用现场束管监测手段对结果进行了验证。利用程序升温实验获得了不同温度段回风隅角CO的极限指标,并与现场实测值对比分析,进而预判采空区遗煤发火程度,为制定有针对性的防治措施提供理论指导。研究结果表明:CO作为低温氧化阶段预测指标对预防遗煤自燃具有重要作用。     

晋城市能源优化发展对策研究

能源消耗与大气环境质量息息相关,研究京津冀及周边地区能源发展对策对大气污染治理具有重要意义。利用线性回归分析、对比分析等方法对晋城市能源发展现状及问题进行研究,结果表明:晋城市能源消费结构以煤炭为主,2017年煤炭消费量为1 176万t,占一次能源消费量的76.2%;2015—1017年煤炭消费量持续降低,2017年比2015年减少258万t,煤炭消费占比降低14.7个百分点;到2020年,煤炭消费占比将继续下降,但仍占主导,天然气消费占比大幅上升。晋城市能源消费总量持续增长但增速下降,能源消费强度较大但能效水平不断提升;从区域分布来看,泽州县能源消费总量和能源消费强度最高,节能潜力较大。化学原料及化学制品制造业,电力、热力的生产和供应业能源消费量占67%,且能源消费强度远远高于全国同行业平均水平。民用燃烧、电力、工业锅炉等能源相关重点源对大气污染物排放贡献较大。晋城市应重点从锅炉改造、清洁供热等能源工程措施,煤炭减量化、发展可再生能源等能源结构措施,能源环境经济政策、企业能效管理等能源管理措施对重点行业和重点地区加强节能减排改造,实现能源与环境的可持续发展。     

准组织化:“互联网+线上应急救援”的实践路径和现实困境*—以河南郑州“7·20”特大暴雨灾害事件为例

为响应我国应急管理现代化和信息化建设需要,采用参与式观察、网络民族志和深度访谈方法,从准组织化集体行动视角切入,对河南郑州“7·20”特大暴雨灾害事件中救援模式相对成熟的“互联网+线上应急救援”实践路径和现实困境进行探讨。研究结果表明:线上应急救援实践路径涵盖聚合、运转、高效、离散4个阶段,且以持续不断的行动流呈现,具有准组织化集体行动特征;同时,线上救援形式面临“合法性”不确定、救援质量不稳定、风险评估主观性和政府正式沟通渠道有限性等现实困境,研究结果可为我国应急管理信息化建设提供参考。

Activity and characteristics of “Oxygen-enriched” highly reactive absorbent for simultaneous flue gas desulfurization and denitrification

An “Oxygen-enriched” highly reactive absorbent was prepared by mixing fly ash, lime and a small quantity of KMnO₄ for simultaneous desulfurization and denitrification. Removal of SO₂ and NO simultaneously was carried out using this absorbent in a flue gas circulating fluidized bed (CFB). The highest simultaneous removal efficiency, 94.5% of SO₂ and 64.2% of NO, was achieved under the optimal experiment conditions. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Accessory X-ray Energy Spectrometer (EDX) were used to observe the surface characteristics of fly ash, lime, “Oxygen-enriched” highly reactive absorbent and the spent absorbent. An ion chromatograph (IC) and chemical analysis methods were used to determine the contents of sulfate, sulfite, nitrate and nitrite in the spent absorbents, the results showed that sulfate and nitrite were the main products for desulfurization and denitrification respectively. The mechanism of removing SO₂ and NO simultaneously was proposed based on the analysis results of SEM, EDX, IC and the chemical analysis methods.
