Structurally-consistent estimation of use and nonuse values for landscape-wide environmental change

We address the problem of estimating the use and nonuse value derived from a landscape-wide programme of environmental change. Working in the random utility framework, we develop a structural model that describes both demand for recreational trips to the landscape's quality-differentiated natural areas and preferences over different landscape-wide patterns of environmental quality elicited in a choice experiment. The structural coherence of the model ensures that the parameters of the preference function can be simultaneously estimated from the combination of revealed and stated preference data. We explore the properties of the model in a Monte Carlo experiment and then apply it to a study of preferences for changes in the ecological quality of rivers in northern England. This implementation reveals plausible estimates of the use and nonuse parameters of the model and provides insights into the distance decay in those two different forms of value.     

上海市青浦区景观格局的粒度效应分析

以上海市青浦区为研究区域，基于ETM遥感影像数据和GIS技术，采用优势规则栅格聚合方法，对分类的ETM数据进行了粒度变换。以景观格局分析程序Fragstats3．3为分析工具，从景观类型水平和景观水平上研究了景观格局的空间粒度效应。研究结果表明：（1）不同的景观类型、不同的景观特征指数对粒度响应存在差异：居住景观和道路景观是对粒度响应最敏感的两种景观类型；形状指数、聚集度指数、斑块数量指数对粒度响应的敏感程度较高，多样性指数、均匀度指数、景观面积比例指数、分维数对粒度响应的敏感程度较低；此外，还发现优势景观随着粒度增加面积增大，形状规则的景观对粒度响应敏感程度低。（2）景观指数的粒度响应曲线存在尺度转折点，且多出现在40、60、80、120m，其中第一尺度区域多为20～40m或20～60m。第一尺度域是选择适宜粒度的较好取值范围，所以本研究中所用景观类型图进行景观指数计算的适宜粒度范围为30-40m。（3）研究发现由不同指数表征相同的生态现象可能会出现相反的粒度效应，在一定程度上体现了景观指数量化景观格局的局限性。     

基于边际效应理论的中部板块协调发展分析

边际效应理论及其增值效应是现代生态科学很重要的一个原理.我国是典型的经济发展不平衡的国家,长期的区域非均衡战略在全国范围内形成了四大区域板块.面对着东部的开放崛起,西部大开发和东北老工业基地的改造,"谨防中部凹陷,促进中部崛起"作为一个区域协调发展的重大命题,被提到了国家层面上.中部板块由于地理区位与经济发展水平均居于我国的中间位置,因此具有明显的过渡性.作者试图通过运用生态学上的边际效应理论,分析中部区域板块内部以及板块之间的区域经济协调发展机制,来促进中部区域板块经济的协调发展.     

Fragmented forest in tropical landscape--the case of the state of Selangor,Malaysia

This paper presents the pattern and changes of fragmented forest in relation with changes of total forest cover in the state of Selangor in three decades.In this study,inventoried forest cover maps of Selangor in 1971/1972,1981/1982 and 1991/1992 produced by the Forestry Department of Peninsular Malaysia were digitized to examine the changes in area and number of fragmented forest.Results showed that in 1971/1972,16 fragmented forests were identified in Selangor.All fragmented forests were identified as diptercoarp forest.A decade later the number of fragmented forests increased by approximately 44%(23).Of the 23 fragmented forests,two were peat swamp forests whereas the remaining were dipterocarp forests.In 1991/1992 the number of fragmented forests(12)was reduced by 47.8%.Two of the fragmented forests were Fragmentation of both dipterocrp and peat swamp forests occurred profoundly during the period between 1971/1972and 1981/1982,which consequently increased the number of fragmented forests compared with before the period of 1971/1972 where fragmentation happened only at dipterocarp forests.However,many fragmented forests vanished between the 1981/1982 and 1991/1992 periods.

基于神经网络的红树林景观特性遥感提取技术研究

利用神经网络法对广西山口红树林保护区2003年1月8日获取的Landsat TM 卫星图像进行分类.Landsat TM5卫星数据的3、4、5假彩色合成图像空间分辨率比较好,影像层次丰富,地物界限清晰.因此,采用3、4、5波段作为输入层.经过目视判读和现场调查,将输出层单元设置为5个,包括是红树林、陆地植被、裸地(其他建筑用地)、水体和虾池.经过流程实际运算和精度对比,设定训练阈值的贡献是0.9,训练率是0.2,训练次数是1000,最大个体允许误差为0.1.分类精度达到86.86%,高于最大似然分类(50.79%)和光谱角分类精度(75.39%),从而最终获取红树林生态系统的景观格局指标.结果显示研究区红树林均匀度(1.7789)和聚集度指数(0.6854)较高;红树林种类的优势度指数是-1.5850,为弱势群体;红树林的斑块破碎化指数是0.0325,破碎化程度较低.     

Community richness and stability in agricultural landscapes: The importance of surrounding habitats

In this paper, the role played by habitat diversity in the landscape on species richness and on the stability of farmland bird communities was investigated. Species richness was estimated on 374 samples monitored in farmland by the French breeding bird survey during the 2001–2005 period. A capture–recapture approach was used to estimate species richness accounting for the variation in detection probability among species of the 100 most common species detected in farmland. Landscape structure and composition were measured both in farmland and in adjacent habitats. The independent effect of each variable on community richness and stability was further assessed using hierarchical variance partitioning and taking spatial autocorrelation into account. A strong matrix effect was detected: non-cropped land deeply influenced richness and stability of bird assemblages.
