Exploring the role of local community perceptions in sustainability measurements

Measuring sustainability is an integral part of decision-making processes in order to promote sustainable development. The present paper focuses on sustainability indicators as these are measured on local level and explores two main issues: firstly, the subjective measurement of indicators focusing especially on social dimensions of sustainability, secondly, the incorporation of local perceptions in sustainability assessments. These two issues are explored in the Asopos River basin in Greece, an area where significant environmental degradation has been observed in the past decades and is also under financial pressure due to the ongoing national recession. A large-scale research study was conducted measuring environmental, economic and social indicators while, at a second stage, a model was developed, estimating new indicators that incorporate local communities’ perceptions on what they considered as important for their area. The results of the study reveal that the most important indicators for the sustainable development of the area, according to locals’ perceptions, are environmental quality as well as quality of life. By contrast, trust in local and central institutions and also local enterprises were not considered as important by locals. These results illustrate the importance of combining global and national scale assessment with locally focused social measurements of sustainability in order to better understand what is important for local communities prior to embarking on public policy planning.     

苯酚对两种微囊藻生长的作用效应

用不同浓度的苯酚处理无毒铜绿微囊藻和有毒铜绿微囊藻。结果显示不加苯酚处理时，有毒藻生长量明显高于无毒藻；100μg／mL的苯酚促进无毒藻生长而抑制有毒藻的生长；苯酚浓度增至200μg／mL，无毒藻的生长才受到抑制。高浓度苯酚胁迫下的藻细胞：光合速率大幅度降低；可溶性蛋白含量减少；细胞膜透性增大；超氧阴离子(O2^-)产生速率和丙二醛(MDA)相对含量升高；超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性降低。这些变化有毒藻较无毒藻更显著。表明：有毒微囊藻是水华中的优势种群；两种藻中有毒藻对苯酚的敏感性更大。

Arsenic and major cation hydrogeochemistry of the Central Victorian (Australia) surface waters

This paper reports on the major cations（Ca, Mg, Na and K） and arsenic（As） compositions of surface waters collected from major creeks, rivers and lakes in Central Victoria （Australia）. The surface waters were found to be neutral to alkaline （pH 6.7-9.4）, oxidised （average redox potential （Eh） about 130 mV） and showed variable concentrations of dissolved ions （EC, about 51-4386 /μS/cm）. The concen- trations of dissolved major cations in surface waters were found to be in the order of Na〉〉Mg〉Ca〉K and in soils the contents of metals followed an order of abundance as： Ca〉Mg〉〉K〉Na. While Na was the least abundant in soils, it registered the highest dissolved cation in surface waters. Of the four major cations, the average concentration ofNa（98.7 mg/L） was attributed to the weathering of feldspars and atmospheric input. Relatively highly dissolved concentrations of Na and Mg compared with the world average values of rivers reflected the weathering of rock and soil minerals within the catchments. The As soil level is naturally high（linked to lithology） as reflected by high background soil values and mining operations are also considered to be a contributory factor. Under relatively alkaline-oxidative conditions low mobility of dissolved As （average about 7.9 μg/L） was observed in most of the surface waters with a few higher values（〉15 μg/L） around a sewage disposal site and mine railings. Arsenic in soils is slowly released into water under alkaline and/or lower Eh conditions. The efficient sink of Fe, AI and Mn oxides acts as a barrier against the As release under near neutral-oxidising conditions. High As content （average about 28.3 mg/kg） in soils was found to be associated with Fe-hydroxides as revealed by XRD and SEM analysis. The dissolved As concentration was found to be below the recommended maximum levels for recreational water in all surface waters（lakes and rivers） in the study area. Catchment lithology exerted the fundamental control on surface water chemistry. Sites impacted by mining waste dumps showed a decline in water quality.     

不同类型植被河岸缓冲带对模拟径流及总磷的消减研究

在九龙江上游北溪流域,选择杂交狼尾草(Pennisetum americanum×P.purpureum)、红花檵木(Loropetalum chinense var.rubrum)、红叶石楠(Photinia fraseri)3种植物及原生撂荒杂草地,构建对照(A)、草本(B)、灌草(C)和灌木(D)4种不同处理的植被缓冲带,通过模拟不同浓度面源污染下的农田径流,探讨不同植被组合对径流量及总磷的消减效果.结果表明:各缓冲带不同植被对径流量及总磷的消减效果均表现为草本灌草灌木,其中,草本缓冲带对径流量的消减率最高,达到86.93%,在高、低浓度进水时对总磷浓度的消减分别为95.20%、80.69%;4种不同植被缓冲带对总磷浓度的消减效果随缓冲带宽度的增加均出现上升的趋势,其中,前半段消减效果最佳,后半段消减趋势减缓;高浓度污染进水条件下缓冲带对总磷的消减效率高于低浓度进水;4种缓冲带对磷总量的消减量分别为27.70、28.02、28.06和26.94 g.研究成果可为九龙江上游河岸缓冲带建设及流域氮磷污染率治理和生态评价提供科学示范及理论依据.

以垃圾衍生燃料(RDF)为研究对象,在600~1100℃条件下灼烧RDF灰渣,对灰渣中的主要元素变化情况进行分析.研究结果表明,RDF灰渣中主要元素包括硅、氧、铝、钙、镁、钾、钠、碳、硫、氯、磷、钛、锌等;灰渣中的可溶盐倾向富集在≤0.3 mm的灰渣颗粒上;在600~1000℃范围内,其总量处于动态平衡,在1100℃则大幅度减少.随着温度的上升,碳转化为二氧化碳气体;硫元素转化为硫酸盐,随后部分再转化为二氧化硫气体;氯元素转化为以氯化钠和氯化钾为主的氯化盐,在达到一定温度时发生相变转化为气体.硅、氧、铝、钙、镁、磷等元素留存于废渣中,随着温度提高,发生复合化学反应,相互键接形成复合硅酸盐物质.     

密云水库上游白河地表水质对不同空间尺度景观格局特征的响应

基于密云水库上游北京境内白河段9个监测断面的水质数据,利用多元统计分析方法分析不同空间尺度（100、200、300、500和1000 m）河岸带缓冲区土地利用景观格局特征与水质总氮（TN）和总磷（TP）的关联性,识别水质对景观特征响应的最佳缓冲区尺度.结果表明,密云水库上游北京境内白河周边土地利用景观格局对水质的影响随着河岸缓冲区不同宽度的变化而不同,在河岸小尺度缓冲区表现得更明显,对水质TN和TP空间分异解释的最佳尺度分别为300 m和100 m河岸缓冲区.300 m缓冲区尺度,耕地斑块密度和草地聚集指数是影响河流TN的主要指数.100 m缓冲区尺度,城乡居民点面积比例对河流TP影响显著.该研究表明,优化河岸缓冲区300 m宽度范围内的景观格局,特别是耕地和林草地的合理配置提高农业景观的连通性和聚集度以及岸边城乡居民点面积与污染物排放控制,对于改善北京境内白河段河流水质的生态功能和保障密云水库饮用水安全十分重要.

长江口及邻近海域水体主元素和锶同位素地球化学

根据2005年6月对长江口及其邻近海域水体的现场调查,分析探讨了长江口水体主元素、Sr及Sr同位素的组成变化。长江河水的Sr含量和87Sr/86Sr同位素比值分别为1.75μmol/L和0.7105,反映出长江流域以碳酸盐岩风化为主的化学风化特征;河口区主元素与盐度的显著正相关关系显示出它们在河水与海水混合过程中的保守特性;87Sr/86Sr与1/Sr的非线性关系则暗示了长江口水体的Sr不是河水与海水的简单混合,可能伴有其他端元水体的混入。     

湖北丹江口水库主要离子化学季节变化及离子来源分析

2004～2006年对丹江口水库中的5个点位水质的 t 、pH、EC、TDS、ORP、SO^2-₄、Cl^-、NO^-₃、HCO^-₃、Ca²⁺、Mg²⁺、Na⁺、K⁺和Si进行了测定.综合运用方差分析及主成分分析对它们的季节变化及其来源进行了研究.结果表明,丹江口库区水体呈弱碱性,属于弱矿化度水,水质类型为HCO^-₃-Ca型水.主要阴、阳离子浓度范围为：Cl^-,（4.0±0.5～6.9±1.8）mg·L^-1;NO^-₃,（4.6±0.9～6.8±1.7）mg·L^-1;SO^2-₄,（24.3±2.7～35.4±6.9） mg·L^-1;HCO^-₃,（133.0±11.7～153.5±29.6）mg·L^-1;Na⁺,（2.0±0.3～5.3±1.0）mg·L^-1;K⁺,（0.7±0.09～1.6±0.7） mg·L^-1;Ca²⁺,（33.0±2.1～46.6±0.8）mg·L^-1;Mg²⁺,（8.0±2.5～10.5±3.2）mg·L^-1.方差分析显示除HCO^-₃和Si外,t、pH、EC、TDS、ORP、SO^2-₄、Cl^-、NO^-₃、Na⁺、K⁺、Ca²⁺、Mg²⁺都表现出了显著的季节性差异,主要离子化学汛期浓度均小于对应的非汛期浓度.Na⁺和Mg²⁺的浓度只表现出秋汛<秋季,NO^-₃和SO^2-₄浓度却呈现出秋汛>秋季,这主要归因于降雨的大气沉降对水化学的贡献不同.HCO^-₃占主要阴离子的75%～88%,Ca²⁺和碱土金属分别占主要阳离子的60%～80%和87%～96%,表明碳酸盐岩风化是水体质子的主要来源及主要化学风化类型.参照我国及世界卫生组织饮用水标准,主要离子的浓度并未对人体产生危害.
