Assessment of the Conservation Measures Partnership's effort to improve conservation outcomes through adaptive management

Conservation practice has demonstrated an increasing desire for accountability of actions, particularly with respect to effectiveness, efficiency, and impact to clearly identified objectives. This has been accompanied by increased attention to achieving adaptive management. In 2002, practitioners representing several prominent conservation nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) launched a community of practice called the Conservation Measures Partnership (CMP). The partnership CMP has worked to establish standards of conservation practice to improve accountability of conservation actions through adaptive management. The focal organizing framework for CMP has been the Open Standards for the Practice of Conservation (OS). We evaluated, through an online survey and personal interviews, the first decade of CMP and the OS. The CMP has garnered a positive reputation among agencies, NGOs, and funders and has succeeded in developing a large user base of the OS. However, CMP has not fully achieved its goal of making the OS standard operating procedure for the largest NGOs (e.g., The Nature Conservancy, World Wildlife Fund), despite it being widely used within these organizations. This lack of institutionalization is attributable to multiple causes, including an increase in the number of partially overlapping decision‐support frameworks and challenges achieving full‐cycle adaptive management. Users strongly believed the OS fosters better conservation practice and highly valued the OS for improving their practice. A primary objective of the OS is to assist practitioners to achieve full‐cycle adaptive management to better integrate learning into improving the effectiveness and efficiency of actions. However, most practitioners had not yet achieved cycle completion for their projects. To improve the effectiveness of CMP, OS, and conservation practice in general, we recommend collaborative efforts among the proponents of multiple decision‐support frameworks to foster strong institutional adoption of a common set of adaptive‐management standards for conservation accountability.     

养殖塘CH4排放特征及其影响因素

富营养化的养殖塘是重要的甲烷(CH_4)排放源.为明确养殖塘CH_4排放特征及其影响因素,本研究利用倒置漏斗法和体积扩散模型法,分别对安徽全椒两个养殖塘冬、春季CH_4冒泡通量和扩散通量进行了多日连续观测.结果表明,冬季CH_4冒泡通量白天高于夜间,夜间几乎为零;春季夜间高于白天.在季节尺度上,冬季CH_4冒泡通量显著低于春季,分别为3. 92mg·(m~2·d)-1和106. 94 mg·(m~2·d)-1;冬季CH_4扩散通量略高于春季,分别为2. 81 mg·(m~2·d)-1和0. 87 mg·(m~2·d)-1.自然因素(水温和气压)与CH_4冒泡通量和扩散通量显著相关.其中随水温的升高、气压的降低,CH_4冒泡通量分别呈指数递增和线性递增趋势.人工管理措施(冬季排水和春季施粪)会显著提高CH_4冒泡通量,但对扩散通量的影响并不显著.在冬季排水期间,水深与CH_4冒泡通量显著负相关;在春季鸡粪投放点,CH_4冒泡通量可高达1002. 30 mg·(m~2·d)-1.本研究可为评估小型养殖塘对全球碳循环的贡献提供数据支撑.     

纳米Pd/Fe双金属对2,4-二氯酚的脱氯机理及动力学

采用纳米Pd Fe双金属对2,4 二氯酚(2,4 DCP)进行了催化还原脱氯处理.结果表明,纳米Pd Fe双金属具有较高的比表面积和反应活性,对2,4 DCP具有较好的脱氯效率.当纳米Pd Fe用量在6g·L-1时,2,4 DCP脱氯率达到90%以上;脱氯效率与pH值、温度、钯化率、Pd Fe投加量等因素有关.2,4 DCP在脱氯过程中先生成邻氯酚和对氯酚,而后继续脱氯生成苯酚,或由2,4 DCP直接降解成苯酚.2,4 DCP降解符合拟一级反应动力学.2,4 DCP催化还原脱氯反应的活化能为139 7kJ·mol-1.     

炎性因子在大气细颗粒物(PM2.5)心血管毒性中的作用

PM2.5染毒心血管内皮细胞24h后,提取内皮细胞中的mRNA,通过逆转录多聚酶链式反应(RT-PCR)技术及电泳的方法,确定PM2.5染毒前后心血管内皮细胞中IL-4、嗜酸性粒细胞活化趋化因子(extaxin)相对含量的变化.结果表明,随着大气PM2.5染毒浓度的增加,0.05,0.20mg/mL染毒组心血管内皮细胞中IL-4和extaxin mRNA表达产物的相对含量显著增高,说明IL-4、extaxin等I型变态反应相关炎性因子在PM2.5的心血管毒性中可能起一定作用.     

土壤沉积物吸附对2, 4－D生物降解速率的影响

提出一个吸附对有机物生物降解影响的数学模型。模型中考虑了有吸附剂存在下体系可能出现的四种降解类型。用从土壤中分离出的２，４－Ｄ降解菌株，在有土壤或沉积物存在下与２，４－Ｄ进行生物降解实验。在菌体浓度不变的情况下，估算和比较了３０℃时四种降解作用的速率常数。结果表明，吸附的２，４－Ｄ不被水中和吸附的细菌所利用；而水中的２，４－Ｄ则可被水中和吸附的细菌所降解。进一步分析认为，并非所有生物降解都受到吸附

Acute toxicity of cadmium to fish Labeo rohita and copepod Diaptomus forbesi pre-exposed to CaO and KMnO4

96-h LC₅₀ values of cadmium (Cd) to fish Labeo rohita and the copepod Diaptomus forbesi, determined by static bioassays, were, respectively, 89.5 and 10.2 mg/l. LC₅₀ values increased significantly when fish pre-exposed to 100–350 mg/l CaO or 0.5–1.5 mg/l KMnO₄ for 4 d and the copepod to 20–70 mg/l CaO or 0.25–1.0 mg/l KMnO₄ for same period. The LC₅₀ values also increased when the pre-exposure period of CaO was increased to 12 d at concentration 100 mg/l for fish and 20 mg/l for copepod. All fish died when pre-exposed to 1.5 mg/l KMnO₄ for 8 d. But LC₅₀ values of Cd to copepod increased when pre-exposure period of 0.5 mg/l KMnO₄ was increased from 4 to 8 d.
