基于净初级生产力的中国各地生态足迹均衡因子测算

生态足迹作为一种非货币化的生态系统评估工具,是近年来国际上一种重要的判别可持续发展程度的生物物理量方法。均衡因子是生态足迹计算中的一个重要参数,其是否准确直接影响到计算结果的可靠性与可比性。随着生态足迹方法的广泛应用,其标准化和本地化研究成为迫切的需要。为便于区域水平上的生态足迹空间分析,采用中国2001年1km MODIS数据,根据植被的净初级生产力(net primary production,NPP),计算出全国和不同省份各种土地类型的均衡因子。结果表明,就中国平均均衡因子而言,农地和建筑用地为1.71,林地和能源用地为1.41,畜牧地为0.44,渔业水域为0.35;就不同省份而言,由于区域内不同土地利用类型的相对生产能力不同,因而均衡因子各不相同,但大体上呈现农地>林地>畜牧地>渔业水域的规律。     

花岗岩地区水蚀荒漠化问题探讨——以澄源河流域为例

以安徽省绩溪县澄源河流域为例,说明我国南方受干旱影响的亚湿润地带花岗岩地区水蚀荒漠化的存在,并探讨了其成因及危害。该流域１９８４年水蚀荒漠化面积为７．５６ｋｍ２,占流域总面积的１８．０３％;经过１０ａ的治理取得了一些成就和经验,至１９９６年水蚀荒漠化的面积已减少到２．５６ｋｍ２,占流域总面积的６．１１％,获得了可观的经济、社会和环境效益。事实说明只要采取一系列预防和治理措施,荒漠化过程是可以逆转的。     

Tracking Chinese newspaper coverage of elephant ivory through topic modeling

Mass media worldwide has contributed to increasing awareness of the illegal wildlife trade and its significant impact on wildlife conservation. We used mass media coverage as a proxy for macro-level public opinion to analyze the media framing of elephant ivory in 6394 Chinese newspaper articles published from 2000 to 2021 and thus determine the effects of wildlife policies on public opinion. We focused on 2 events: the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) approval of China as a trading partner in the purchase and import of ivory stockpiles from Africa in July 2008 and the Chinese government's announcement of a domestic ivory ban in December 2016. Using latent Dirichlet allocation topic modeling, we identified 8 topics about elephant ivory and grouped them into 3 frames: ivory arts and culture, ivory crimes, and elephant conservation. Over the last 2 decades, topics related to ivory crimes remained the most prevalent in news articles. Topics about ivory arts and culture showed a significant shift in media salience before and after the 2 events (from 0.44 to 0.19 and from 0.08 to 0.15, respectively, p < 0.05), whereas the other 2 frames did not change significantly. Contrary to popular belief, our results indicated that Chinese macro-level public opinion on ivory had become more negative following the CITES approval of ivory importation and less negative after the ivory ban announcement, at least for certain periods. The relationship between mass media, public opinion, and wildlife trade policies is complex and requires further examination of the sociopolitical dynamics that influence media narratives. Our results showed the value of topic modeling in monitoring and assessing media representations of wildlife issues in the era of big data. Conservationists should remain vigilant of mass media coverage and collaborate with media practitioners to produce comprehensive narratives on wildlife issues if resources permit.     

我国南海海域渔业环境保护法律问题与对策

我国南海渔业活动及其以外的人类活动产生的环境问题,严重污染了南海海域的水质,威胁着南海渔业资源的可持续发展。我国南海海域渔业环境保护法律体系已形成,提供了较为合理的制度安排。但仍存在一些法律问题,其中以环境影响评价制度、海洋环境监测制度和海水养殖污染防治制度等方面的问题较为突出。因此本文提出以下法律对策:明确渔业部门在环境影响评价制度中的法律地位,加强渔业海域环境监测的协调机制和完善海水养殖污染防治制度,以期依靠法治的力量保护南海渔业资源的可持续发展。     

Selecting small reserves in a human-dominated landscape: a case study of Hong Kong, China

In this case study of a degraded tropical landscape, we examine how the protected area system in Hong Kong, China, should be modified to improve its efficiency in protecting the surprisingly rich biota. The challenge lies in the fine scale of site selection, and the absence of a core area with high species richness and rarity. Site selection was first conducted in 1 km grid units by selecting hotspots and irreplaceable sites using field records for eight groups of species (amphibians, reptiles, mammals, breeding birds, ants, butterflies, dragonflies and rare vascular plants). The habitats of conservation value within the selected grid units were then delineated on the basis of expert knowledge. Recommendations for increasing the total existing protected area by 6% (i.e. an additional 2% of Hong Kong's total land area) were submitted to the Government in August 2000. To test the robustness of the results, site selection was repeated in 2001 using updated data and different selection methods. The numbers of squares selected by complementarity-based algorithms were similar to those by the hotspots and irreplaceable site method. Sites selected for rare species were very sensitive to data completeness, implying that the application of complementarity-based algorithms at fine scales might be limited.     

Perception and Attitude of Residents Toward Urban Green Spaces in Guangzhou (China)

Fast economic and social changes in recent years in China have brought massive expansion, redevelopment, and restructuring of cities. These changes offer cities the opportunity to improve environmental quality through urban green spaces (UGSs) and to address the challenges of meeting community aspirations. This study explored peoples’ minds concerning UGSs in Guangzhou city in south China in relation to the following: (1) knowledge and perception of 25 ecosystem services and 8 negative impacts; (2) attitude toward site condition and management; (3) expectation of landscape design; and (4) preference ranking of venues. A questionnaire was designed to solicit opinions from 340 respondents randomly chosen from residents living in the study area. The results indicated widespread recognition of ecosystem services and strong support of UGS programs. Negative responses were weakly expressed. Amelioration of urban microclimate and environmental quality were emphasized. Environmental functions stressed in publicity programs, together with aggravating environmental problems in the city, tended to focus respondents’ attention on UGS benefits. Wildlife habitat, species conservation and other natural ecosystem services drew limited concerns. Awareness of economic benefits was very low. Visual-landscape contributions with strong preference for naturalistic design and recreational benefits were highlighted. Compared with other countries, Guangzhou residents were characterized by visual–scenic–recreation orientation and pragmatic–utilitarian perception of UGSs, reflecting underlying differences in the understanding of inherent ecosystem services of green spaces. Relevant UGS policies and practices could adopt the approaches of market survey, citizen participation, and precision planning in order to meet increasingly mature and refined demands. Citizens’ understanding of high-order ecosystem services could be enhanced to encourage appreciation of nature and their associated benefits.

华南地区大气传输过程中黑碳的湿清除比例及其来源的影响

黑碳(black carbon,BC)的湿清除对其大气寿命和环境气候效应的评估至关重要。本研究使用黑碳仪(Aethalometer,AE-33)在南岭地区对BC开展了三次观测,结合指数衰减方程评估了传输过程中累计降雨量(accumulated precipitation along the trajectory,APT)对华南地区BC传输效率的影响。此外,将BC来源区分为生物质燃烧源(biomass burning,BB)和化石燃料燃烧源(fossil fuel burning,FF),探讨了不同排放源BC湿清除比例(wet scavenging ratio,WSR)的差异。结果表明：基于指数衰减方程结果和W_SR的结果指出华南地区的BC受到湿清除的影响要明显大于日韩等偏远地区,可能反映了更高拟合的BC老化程度。A_PT在5—30 mm范围内的增加对BC的湿清除有显著的影响。不同来源BC的W_SR存在显著差异：BC_BB的W_SR(44%—62%)高于BC_FF(35...     

中国国家温室气体自愿减排交易机制优化途径初探

2012年以来,我国逐步建立完善了国家温室气体自愿减排交易管理机制,在制度体系、登记管理、交易管理等方面取得积极进展,备案了1315个温室气体自愿减排项目,项目产生的核证自愿减排量（CCER）实现全国交易,形成初具规模的二级交易市场。研究表明,受到国家主管部门在2017年暂缓自愿减排项目备案等因素影响,现有国家温室气体自愿减排交易管理机制已无法适应国家“双碳”目标下充分发挥市场机制作用的新要求,以及实现CCER在全国碳排放权交易市场和国际航空减排市场履约抵销等新形势,亟须在制度设计、平台支撑、市场建设、能力保障等各方面优化重塑,以重启为契机,加快推动我国温室气体自愿减排交易机制在新形势下深入发展。
