Factors influencing the quality of rural human settlements in a peripheral metropolitan area based on a structural equation model: A case study from Beijing

Rural human settlement is a significant indicator of the living standards of rural residents, and its improvement can contribute to promoting the positive interaction between inhabited environment and the social, economic, and resource environment in the countryside. Based on 557 valid questionnaires of satisfaction evaluation of human settlement in the peripheral metropolitan area of Beijing, this paper analyzed the elemental characteristics and factors influencing human settlement quality using multivariate statistical analysis and a structural equation model. The result shows that, first, the rural residents in a peripheral metropolitan area of Beijing are generally satisfied with the quality of human settlement (satisfaction rate is 66.2%). Specifically, the natural and social environment of the countryside is excellent and harmonious and corresponding standard of countryside infrastructure is advanced, but the quality of public services and follow-up management of facilities are in urgent need of improvement and the imbalance between revenue and expenditure of rural households has led to a continuous increase in the pressures of life. Second, factors such as social atmosphere, appearance of the village, entertainment, living costs, fundamental public services, and production costs have significant effects on human settlement quality in this peripheral metropolitan area, with social atmosphere as the main one. Living costs and supporting services are the main constraints to improvement in the quality of human settlement.     

环境审计制度选择影响因素的实证分析

随着环境问题的日益严重,污染治理工具的选择和实施成为社会各界普遍关注的焦点.本文选择150个国家的国别数据,采取logit模型对环境审计制度选择的影响因素进行分析.研究结果表明,经济发展水平、环境保护投资和社会信息化程度与一国是否开展环境审计成显著正相关;审计体制对环境审计的开展也具有显著性影响;而污染排放现状、邻国的决策对环境审计制度选择的影响并不显著.本文的研究表明,与传统命令——控制型规制工具的普适性不同,作为一种信息化的污染治理工具,环境审计是经济社会发展到一定阶段国家最高审计机关的选择.进一步,利用我国2007年-2011年的相关数据进行基于主成分回归的符合性检验,结果显示环境审计的概率值p皆高于50％,且逐年递增,表明我国现阶段实施环境审计的条件和时机已经基本成熟.本文的研究发现为我国最高审计机关“十二五”期间将环境审计作为一种独立的审计类型,在全国推行环境审计工作提供了理论依据.     

宁夏石嘴山市农用地土壤硒的富集因素

石嘴山市是典型的枯竭型资源城市,为发展富硒农产品种植业和促进城市绿色可持续发展转型,在石嘴山市开展富硒土壤调查.采集农用地中7399个表层（0~20 cm）土壤样、30个大气沉降样和9个成土母岩样,运用GS⁺、ArcGIS和SPSS软件通过构建半方差变异函数模型、普通克里金插值、统计学的相关分析和均值分析等方法对土壤硒（Se）的含量、空间分布和富集因素进行分析,对碱性土壤区Se的富集特征进行探索归纳.结果表明,石嘴山市农用地表层土壤ω（Se）为（0.26±0.12） mg·kg^-1,空间分布自相关性极强,Se含量变化与自然因素相关,离贺兰山山前煤矿聚集地近者Se含量较高;成土母质是控制土壤Se富集的首要因素,土壤理化性质如有机质、pH和铁锰氧化物等均对Se在表生环境中富集有一定影响;相比强碱性环境,碱性条件更利于Se的富集.     

钢铁生产行业二英污染特征变化及其排放因子

对我国某省多家钢铁生产企业烧结工序和电炉工序排放烟气中二英（PCDD/Fs）污染水平、排放特征及其排放因子进行了初步研究.结果表明,烧结工序PCDD/Fs毒性当量浓度（以I-TEQ计,下同）为0.003~0.557 ng·m^-3,均值为0.165 ng·m^-3;电炉工序PCDD/Fs毒性当量浓度为0.006~0.057 ng·m^-3,均值为0.025 ng·m^-3.PCDD/Fs毒性当量浓度水平总体较低,较2005~2019年研究报道结果下降1~2个数量级.2005~2020年,钢铁生产行业排放PCDD/Fs毒性当量浓度水平先升高后降低,尤其是新的标准限值实施以及对烟尘等常规污染物进行超低排放控制后,呈现大幅下降.指纹谱图特征显示,所有烟气样品17种PCDD/Fs中最大浓度贡献单体为2,3,7,8-TCDF,与已有研究中以高氯代PCDFs和PCDDs为主不同,且低氯代PCDFs占比有所增加,表明PCDD/Fs生成主要来源有所变化.烧结工序和电炉工序PCDD/Fs同类物指纹分布特征相似,呈现典型的高温热过程特征,两个工序生产过程中PCDD/Fs的生成机制可能均为"从头合成".钢铁生产企业烧结工序PCDD/Fs废气排放因子（以I-TEQ计,下同）为0.003~0.5 μg·t^-1,排放因子平均值为（0.18±0.22）μg·t^-1;电炉工序PCDD/Fs废气排放因子为0.04~0.5 μg·t^-1,排放因子平均值为（0.27±0.23）μg·t^-1;低于UNEP于2013发布的"二英和呋喃排放识别和量化标准工具包"以及2004年我国二英排放清单中的排放因子,建议对我国钢铁生产行业PCDD/Fs排放状况开展调查,更新排放因子.

基于种群、功能群对比分析洞庭湖浮游植物群落驱动因素及水质评价

浮游植物是水生态系统中最重要的组成部分,因其对水环境变化敏感而常被用于指示水环境状态,但其对环境的响应受分类方法的影响.为了解洞庭湖浮游植物种群(门、属)和功能群(FG)两种分类法对环境的驱动响应特征和适用性,于2019年3～12月分水期对该湖共进行了4次采样,比较分析了浮游植物种群和功能群的分布特征及其与环境因子的响应关系,并对比了TLI指数、 Shannon-Wiener指数、Q指数等评价方法在洞庭湖的适用性.结果表明,洞庭湖共检出浮游植物6门61属,可划分为23个功能群和9个优势功能群,功能群演替趋势为P/MP/D(3月)■月)■月)■(12月).层次分割结果表明,洞庭湖浮游植物的种群分布与变化受环境因子的驱动大于空间驱动;影响浮游植物种群和功能群的主要环境因子为水温(WT)、高锰酸盐指数、溶解氧(DO)、电导率(Cond)、水位(WL)和总磷(TP),环境因子对两者的独立解释性排序相差不大.RDA分析表明,浮游植物功能群对环境因子的响应要优于浮游植物种群.综合对比分析发现,利用Q指数进行水质评价在洞庭湖水体有较好的适用性.     

Estimating the volatilization of ammonia from synthetic nitrogenous fertilizers used in China

Although it has long been recognized that significant amounts of nitrogen, typically in the form of ammonia (NH(3)) applied as fertilizer, are lost to the atmosphere, accurate estimates are lacking for many locations. In this study, a detailed, bottom-up method for estimating NH(3) emissions from synthetic fertilizers in China was used. The total amount emitted in 2005 in China was estimated to be 3.55 Tg NH(3)-N, with an uncertainty of ± 50%. This estimate was considerably lower than previously published values. Emissions from urea and ammonium bicarbonate accounted for 64.3% and 26.5%, respectively, of the 2005 total. The NH(3) emission inventory incorporated 2448 county-level data points, categorized on a monthly basis, and was developed with more accurate activity levels and emission factors than had been used in previous assessments. There was considerable variability in the emissions within a province. The NH(3) emissions generally peaked in the spring and summer, accounting for 30.1% and 48.8%, respectively, of total emissions in 2005. The peaks correlated with crop planting and fertilization schedules. The NH(3) regional distribution pattern showed strong correspondence with planting techniques and local arable land areas. The regions with the highest atmospheric losses are located in eastern China, especially the North China Plain and the Taihu region.     

Assessing conservation opportunity on private land: socio-economic, behavioral, and spatial dimensions

This study presents a method for assessing conservation opportunity on private land based on landholders' socio-economic, behavioral, and farm characteristics. These characteristics include age, gender, education, level of off-farm income, farm size, proportion of remnant native vegetation on-farm, and ecological value of native vegetation on-farm. A sample of landholders who own greater than 2 ha of land in the South Australian Murray-Darling Basin region were sent a mail-based survey about their values and preferences for environmental management (N = 659, 52% response). Cross-tabulations and ANOVA statistical analysis techniques were used to compare the socio-economic attributes across three landholder classes: disengaged, moderately engaged, and highly engaged in native vegetation planting. Results indicate that highly engaged landholders were more likely to be female, formally educated, hobby farmers who managed small parcels of land and have high off-farm incomes, whereas disengaged landholders held significantly stronger farming connections (more farming experience, family have lived on the farm for more generations). Spatial analysis revealed area-specific differences in conservation opportunity and conservation priority. In some areas, properties of high ecological value were managed by highly engaged landholders, but nearby properties of high value were managed by moderately engaged or disengaged landholders. Environmental managers therefore cannot assume areas of high conservation priority will be areas of high conservation opportunity. At the regional scale, the potential for revegetation seems most promising within the moderately engaged landholder group considering the vast amount of land managed by this group in areas of high ecological value, particularly within the less represented Mallee and Coorong and Rangelands sub-regions. We suggest that incentive schemes which purchase conservation need to be targeted at disengaged landholders; mentoring schemes led by commercial farmers highly engaged in native vegetation planting should be directed at moderately engaged landholders, and; awards programs which acknowledge conservation successes should be targeted at highly engaged landholders.     

作业条件危险性评价法在深水钻完井作业评价中的应用研究

深水钻完井作业长期暴露于危险环境中,被普遍认为是高危作业。同时深水事故的发生给人类带来深刻的教训,例如墨西哥漏油事件造成恶劣的海洋环境污染,有必要提高钻完井作业的安全性。由于深水钻完井作业复杂,其危险性复杂多样,需从作业单元入手详细分析其危险性。本文采用作业条件危险性评价法（LEC）对深水钻完井作业进行危险性评价。首先,辨识危险有害因素;其次,在对作业条件危险性评价法进行改进的基础上分析深水油气田钻完井作业火灾爆炸危险性。分析结果表明改进后的作业条件危险性评价法能够更准确地确定危险等级,为对深水钻完井作业其它危险因素评价提供了参考。
