The use of agricultural substrates to improve methane yield in anaerobic co-digestion with pig slurry: Effect of substrate type and inclusion level

Anaerobic co-digestion of pig slurry with four agricultural substrates (tomato, pepper, persimmon and peach) was investigated. Each agricultural substrate was tested in co-digestion with pig slurry at four inclusion levels: 0%, 15%, 30% and 50%. Inclusion levels consisted in the replacement of the volatile solids (VS) from the pig slurry with the VS from the agricultural substrate. The effect of substrate type and inclusion level on the biochemical methane potential (BMP) was evaluated in a batch assay performed at 35 °C for 100 days. Agricultural substrate’s chemical composition was also analyzed and related with BMP. Additionally, Bacteria and Archaea domains together with the four main methanogenic archaeal orders were quantified using quantitative real-time TaqMan polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) at the end of the experiment to determine the influence of agricultural substrate on sludge’s microbial composition. Results showed that vegetable substrates (pepper and tomato) had higher lipid and protein content and lower carbohydrates than fruit substrates (persimmon and peach). Among substrates, vegetable substrates showed higher BMP than fruit substrates. Higher BMP values were obtained with increasing addition of agricultural substrate. The replacement of 50% of VS from pig slurry by tomato and pepper increased BMP in 41% and 44%, respectively compared with pig slurry only. Lower increments in BMP were achieved with lower inclusion levels. Results from qPCR showed that total bacteria and total archaea gene concentrations were similar in all combinations tested. Methanomicrobiales gene concentrations dominated over the rest of individual archaeal orders.     

农用化学物对河网地区地表水质的影响

为了解平原河网地区农用化学物(化肥和农药)对地表水质的污染程度,调查了嘉兴市某农区在施肥和雨后,径流对地表水质的影响,初步揭示了水质与农时和降雨情况的关系。调查表明,农业非点源污染受农时、降雨的影响较大,其中农时的影响更大,施肥后短时间内水质即下降,变化非常显著。

耕地集约化利用研究进展评述

耕地集约化利用是人类作用下的一种耕地发展模式,对于国家粮食安全、农产品供给保障、生态安全和经济社会可持续发展等具有重要作用,开展耕地集约化利用研究具有重要的科学意义。论文基于文献回溯和综合概括的方法,从科学内涵、描述指标、时空格局探测、归因分析、环境效益评估等方面对国内外耕地集约化利用的研究进展进行系统总结和评述,并提出了未来耕地集约利用研究的重点方向。从现有的研究进展来看,耕地集约化利用研究呈现如下特点：1）集约化利用的科学内涵既涉及到社会经济层面,也涉及到自然地理层面,不同学者从不同学科角度逐渐丰富其内涵,但尚未形成广泛认可的、综合自然属性和社会经济属性的耕地集约化利用内涵;2）集约化利用的评价指标具有多样性,不同指标描述了不同的特性,实际应用需要根据研究目标和区域特点,对各类指标进行筛选,选取具有典型代表性的单一或多指标;3）集约化利用时空格局及其变化的研究方法多样,统计方法和空间技术法是现有的主流方法,两种方法各有优势和不足,两者的结合是未来重要的发展方向;4）影响耕地集约化利用的因素具有复杂性和动态性,由于区域差异和尺度效应,尚不存在统一的主导因素;5）耕地集约化利用具有多功能和多效应,目前研究多关注于集约利用的粮食产出功能,对生态环境效应分析较为薄弱。未来研究需要注重社会经济科学和自然科学等多科学、多方法的交叉,重点加强耕地集约化利用的研究范式、时空格局探测技术、综合效应评估等方面的研究,实现耕地“可持续集约化利用”的最终目标。

Integrating pattern-based modelling and political ecology in land-use change research: the case of Mexican dry tropics

ABSTRACT

Agricultural and extractive frontiers experiment rapid landscape transformation. Land-Use Sciences and Political Ecology are complementary approaches for analysing how landscape transformations are related to biophysical conditions, and socioeconomic, cultural and political processes developed at global, national and local scales. This study examines such relationships in a long-standing agrarian and resource frontier in southern Mexico for the 1986–2015 period. We combine insights from: (1) a quantitative land use/land cover change pattern-based model, involving a weights of evidence and cellular automata simulations, and (2) a qualitative content analysis of literature and of local actors’ perspectives. Two grand frontier processes have developed in this region: NAFTA-related agrarian transition toward intensification and the establishment of wind farms. Both were triggered by global forces and new forms of land and resources use, but mediated by national-to-local ecological, socioeconomic and political processes, producing particular landscape transformations.
