城市热岛效应与景观格局相关性研究

城市下垫面的改变和人为热的增加是加剧热岛效应的重要原因,研究城市热岛效应对揭示城市景观的生态过程、城市空间结构的调整都有重要的指导意义,城市热岛效应与景观格局息息相关.遥感、地理信息系统与景观生态学理论共同形成了对大尺度城市空间格局独具特色的研究模式.卫星遥感数据反演法在城市热环境研究中具有举足轻重的地位,它实现了城市热岛效应的动态监测和内部结构分析.城市热岛与景观格局的相关研究往往转化为地表温度与土地覆盖/利用的相关研究,景观格局指数分析法是其重要研究方法,但仍存在界限不清、表现不敏感、生态学意义不明等问题,最后针对此类研究的重点难点提出建议.     

长江安徽段江心洲土壤重金属的分布特征及来源分析

在长江安徽段15个面积较大的江心洲采集表层(0~20 cm)和深层(150~180 cm)土壤样品,研究其重金属元素含量的分布特征和来源.表层土壤中Cd、Hg、Pb、Cu和Zn等元素平均含量分别是深层的2.33、1.67、1.35、1.48和1.43倍.以长江沉积物背景值作为基线值进行的地累积指数评价结果表明,土壤重金属富集程度依次为CdHgCuZnAsPb.不同江心洲之间以及同一江心洲内部土壤重金属含量的差异,主要与江心洲的成因及其发育演变过程有关,近期淤长的部分,土壤重金属元素含量通常比较高.因子分析结果表明,研究区土壤重金属的富集主要与细颗粒物质的粒径效应、含钙矿物对Cd等元素的固定,以及受燃煤影响的大气沉降输入有关.利用因子得分-多元回归法量化了不同来源重金属的贡献,土壤粒度端元对研究区土壤Ni、Cu、Pb、Zn、As、Cd的贡献率均超过70%.     

城市绿地降温效应研究进展与展望

全球变暖已是不争的事实,而且不可能完全被阻止。城市绿地作为城市结构中的自然生产力主体,在缓解城市热岛、调节城市气候和协助城市应对未来气候变化中扮演着极其重要的角色。如何优化城市绿地空间布局,从而实现城市绿地降温效应的最大化,更有效地应对城市气候变化,已经成为城市绿地布局规划与研究的热点与难点问题。论文从城市绿地降温效应实地观测、城市尺度城市绿地与城市热岛关系、城市绿地降温效应模型模拟和城市绿地降温效应的心理和社会意义4个角度,对国内外相关研究进行了评述,并在此基础上总结了目前城市绿地降温效应研究存在的主要问题,进而提出了该领域未来研究的方向,以期为深入研究城市绿地的降温效应、更好地规划和设计绿地提供重要的借鉴和参考。     

基于资源环境保护的清澜港红树林海岸塑料污染特征

红树林是海洋底栖生物的栖息产卵地和生物基因库,是阻挡陆源污染物入海的生物防线。塑料污染可对海洋生物造成机械伤害、毒理作用,威胁红树林生态系统的健康与稳定。通过野外踏勘和海上作业,在海南岛清澜港红树林海岸采集大塑料垃圾和海水、沉积物、底栖生物样品,采用目视鉴别和体视显微镜、显微傅里叶红外光谱仪鉴定分析研究区资源环境的塑料污染特征及来源。结果表明：大塑料垃圾主要来自于塑料袋和泡沫等生活与渔业垃圾;微塑料有碎片、纤维、线状、薄膜、颗粒和球形六种形态,多为大塑料经日晒和海水动力作用形成的碎片,人造纤维占比最高,为37.91%。研究可为红树林海岸塑料污染管控与综合治理提供决策依据,以实现红树林海岸资源环境有效保护。     

Carrying capacity of an uninhabited island off the southwestern coast of Korea

An emergy evaluation was carried out to assess the carrying capacity of a small, uninhabited island (Woosedo) off the southwestern coast of Korea. The sea area within 1 km from the high tide level of the island was included in the evaluation. The total environmental emergy input to Woosedo was 1.66E19 sej/yr, with the most emergy contribution from the tidal energy. The land and marine ecosystems of Woosedo contributed 4.97 million Em$ (7600 Em$/ha/yr) to the Korean economy annually. If Woosedo was developed to the national average at the emergy investment ratio of 2.86, its carrying capacity was estimated at 1034 people at the current living standard of Korea. With this population, the island system would not be sustainable with a very low emergy sustainability index of 0.36. At the same living standard used in the developed scenario, the carrying capacity of the island would be 370 people for a sustainable development scenario and 270 people if the renewable emergy were the only source to support the population. The emergy contribution of the marine ecosystem of the island was the major source of support in determining the level of carrying capacity of the island.     

沼泽湿地局地小气候"冷湿岛"效应

利用沼泽湿地及其周围旱田对比观测的方法,对沼泽湿地的局地小气候效应进行了研究。结果表明:与周围旱田相比,沼泽湿地近地层(0.5—5.0m)气温低,湿度大,具有显著的冷湿岛效应,且不同高度冷湿效应表现不同,越靠近地面,冷湿效应越明显。6—9月的野外试验结果表明,沼泽湿地的冷湿岛效应在7、8月比较明显;比较沼泽湿地和旱田温度、湿度的日变化发现,沼泽湿地在12:00—14:00的日间午后时段呈现出较明显的冷湿岛效应。     

芨芨草草丛肥岛特征

论文通过对祁连山区芨芨草草丛肥岛特征研究,结果表明:①芨芨草草丛肥岛冠幅下土壤养分高于空地。②土壤有机质、 全氮、 全磷、 速效氮、 速效磷、 速效钾、 速效锌、 速效锰和速效铁含量从草丛中心到距草丛边缘100 cm变化的整体规律是先减小后增加;但距草丛边缘100 cm含量低于草丛中心。③土壤全钾含量、 pH值和速效铜含量从草丛中心到距草丛边缘100 cm变化规律为:全钾含量在各土层变化各异;pH值变化0~10 cm和10~20 cm土层升高,20~30 cm土层则降低;速效铜含量0~10 cm和10~20 cm土层持续下降,20~30 cm土层先减小后增加,并在距草丛边缘40 cm含量最低。总体而言,芨芨草草丛肥岛的各种土壤养分变化规律不是完全一致的。     

Mitigation of the heat island effect in urban New Jersey

Implementation of urban heat island (UHI) mitigation strategies such as increased vegetative cover and higher-albedo surface materials can reduce the impacts of biophysical hazards in cities, including heat stress related to elevated temperatures, air pollution and associated public health effects. Such strategies also can lower the demand for air-conditioning-related energy production. Since local impacts of global climate change may be intensified in areas with UHIs, mitigation strategies could play an increasingly important role as individuals and communities adapt to climate change. We use CITYgreen, a GIS-based modeling application, to estimate the potential benefits of urban vegetation and reflective roofs as UHI mitigation strategies for case study sites in and around Newark and Camden, New Jersey.

The analysis showed that urban vegetation can reduce health hazards associated with the UHI effect by removing pollutants from the air. Less affluent, inner-city neighborhoods are the ones in which the hazard potential of the UHI effect is shown to be greatest. However, these neighborhoods have less available open space for tree planting and therefore a lower maximum potential benefit. As the climate warms, these neighborhoods may face greater consequences due to interactions between the UHI effect and global climate change. Results also show that urban vegetation is an effective and economically efficient way to reduce energy consumption and costs at the sites.     

The potential for combining indigenous and western knowledge in reducing vulnerability to environmental hazards in small island developing states

The benefits of indigenous knowledge within disaster risk reduction are gradually being acknowledged and identified. However, despite this acknowledgement there continues to be a gap in reaching the right people with the correct strategies for disaster risk reduction.

This paper identifies the need for a specific framework identifying how indigenous and western knowledge may be combined to mitigate against the intrinsic effects of environmental processes and therefore reduce the vulnerability of rural indigenous communities in small island developing states (SIDS) to environmental hazards. This involves a review of the impacts of environmental processes and their intrinsic effects upon rural indigenous communities in SIDS and how indigenous knowledge has contributed to their coping capacity. The paper concludes that the vulnerability of indigenous communities in SIDS to environmental hazards can only be addressed through the utilisation of both indigenous and Western knowledge in a culturally compatible and sustainable manner.     

城市化对北京夏季极端高温影响的数值研究

利用一个耦合了城市冠层模式（UCM）的区域数值模拟系统（WRF／NCAR）,引入由LandsatTM提取的京津冀区域30m分辨率下垫面GIS数据集代替美国USGS地表分类数据,对2009年6月24—25日出现在北京地区的一次超过40℃极端高温天气过程进行了高分辨率数值模拟,用以考察WRF／UCM系统对北京“城市热岛”及城市高温天气的模拟效果,并分析了城市化对北京地区城市高温和地表能量平衡的影响及其日变化特征。结果表明：采用精细化下垫面分类数据集后能更好地模拟出主要高温区的分布特征,并能较好再现夜间的“城市热岛”效应。城市化发展对近地层气温的影响主要表现在会促使城区及其下风向近郊区气温的升高,增幅可达0．5～2℃,这与城市热岛及其下游效应有关。城市下垫面的高粗糙度对近地层风速表现出明显的阻挡效应,表现在模拟的10m风场减弱明显。考虑了城市下垫面属性的敏感性试验更好地再现了城区温度的日变化,其模拟的日间最高温度与实际观测值更为接近,也较好地模拟出了城区具有较高最低温度的特征。通过城区与郊区能量平衡过程差异的分析表明,城市化可以显著改变能量平衡中各项所占的比重。地表对近地层大气热量输送过程的变化表明随着城市下垫面的日愈扩大,会显著增强白天地表对大气的向上感热输送,增大城区日间出现高温的可能。夜间,模式反映出地表能量收入来自土壤热通量的向上输送,同样由于城区的潜热通量小,收入的能量仍主要以感热形式加热大气,夜间城区具有较高的最低温度并表现出较强的热岛特征,主要与夜间感热加热的持续相关。
