Climate change collaboration among natural resource management agencies: lessons learned from two US regions

It has been argued that regional collaboration can facilitate adaptation to climate change impacts through integrated planning and management. In an attempt to understand the underlying institutional factors that either support or contest this assumption, this paper explores the institutional factors influencing adaptation to climate change at the regional scale, where multiple public land and natural resource management jurisdictions are involved. Insights from two mid-western US case studies reveal that several challenges to collaboration persist and prevent fully integrative multi-jurisdictional adaptation planning at a regional scale. We propose that some of these challenges, such as lack of adequate time, funding and communication channels, be reframed as opportunities to build interdependence, identify issue-linkages and collaboratively explore the nature and extent of organisational trade-offs with respect to regional climate change adaptation efforts. Such a reframing can better facilitate multi-jurisdictional adaptation planning and management of shared biophysical resources generally while simultaneously enhancing organisational capacity to mitigate negative effects and take advantage of potentially favourable future conditions in an era characterised by rapid climate change.

自然灾害风险分析的基本原理

介绍了风险研究的基本内容,探讨了自然灾害风险分析的基本原理。从风险的本质和自然灾害的具体表现可以看出,自然灾害风险的分析,依赖于一整套贯穿于致灾因子到灾害影响的、能前后相联的模型。本文对各个环节的模型提出了一些原则性的建议。     

江苏盐城国家级珍禽自然保护区调整及其驱动力分析

在确定了盐城国家级珍禽自然保护区调整原则基础上,提出了该保护区的范围调整和功能区划调整方案.调整后,整个保护区范围由调整前的45.30×104 hm2减至28.42×104 hm2,核心区由调整前的1.74×104 hm2增至2.19×104 hm2,占保护区总面积的7.71%,缓冲区和实验区分别由调整前的4.67×104、38.89×104 hm2变为5.57×104、20.66×104 hm2.从自然条件改变、区域种群动态以及保护区与周边地区协调发展3个方面分析了盐城保护区调整的驱动力.     

Estimating the Carbon Pool in the Phytomass of Larch Forests in Northern Eurasia

A data bank on larch phytomass was compiled on the basis of 60 publications describing the data obtained on 360 plots distributed over the area extending from England to Japan. These data were used for calculating conversion factors, i.e., the ratios of carbon pools in trunks, roots, skeletal branches, foliage, and understory (metric tons per hectare) to standing crop (m³/ha). The systems of recursive equations for estimating both volume-forming indices and conversion factors and combined into a second-level recursion system were calculated for 21 regions and forest formations of Northern Eurasia. The values of organic carbon pool in phytomass fractions were estimated for each region and formation.     

Effect of Pretreatment with UV Radiation on Physical and Mechanical Properties of Photocured Jute Yarn with 1,6-Hexanediol Diacrylate (HDDA)

Jute yarns were grafted with a single impregnating monomer 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate (HDDA) in order to improve the physicomechanical properties. Jute yarns soaked for different soaking times (3, 5, 10, and 30 minutes) in HDDA+MeOH solutions at different proportions (1–10% HDDA in MeOH [v/v] along with photoinitiator Darocur-1664 [3%]) were cured under UV lamp at different UV radiation intensities (two, four, six, and eight passes). Concentration of monomer, soaking time, and intensity of UV radiation were optimized with extent of mechanical properties such as tensile strength, elongation at break, and modulus. Enhanced tensile strength (67%), modulus (108%), and polymer loading (11%) were achieved with 5% HDDA concentration, 5-minute soaking time, fourth pass of UV radiation. To further improve the mechanical properties, the jute yarns were pretreated with UV radiation (5, 10, 15, 30, and 50 passes) and treated with optimized monomer concentration (5%). UV-pretreated samples showed the enhanced properties. The tensile strength and modulus increase up to 84% and 132%, respectively, than that of virgin jute yarn. An experiment involving water absorption capacity shows that water uptake by treated samples was much lower than that of the untreated samples. During the weathering test, treated yarns exhibited less loss of mechanical properties than untreated yarns.

从静态的断面分析到动态的过程评价——兼论资源流动的研究内容与方法

论文在简要回顾我国资源科学发展阶段及其特点的基础上,从生态学思想对资源科学研究的影响出发,认为随着经济社会的快速发展,资源开发利用过程及其效应问题将是今后相当长一段时间资源科学研究的重要领域和方向。只有深入研究资源在经济社会系统中的生命周期,才能清楚认识资源与经济、社会、环境的关系机理,才能为国家或区域资源可持续利用提供更加科学的理论依据。据此,提出了资源流动的概念,阐述了资源流动的内涵与研究方法,并以木材资源、玉米资源为例进行了说明。从某种意义上说,我国资源科学仍然处于一种静态的状态研究阶段,研究内容主要包括以资源开发利用为目的的资源认识和资源评价研究,和以协调人-资源关系为目的的人口、资源、环境可持续发展研究。现代资源科学吸收了生态学、特别是生态系统的理论和方法,将资源视为由不同学科、不同区域、不同部门的网式结构和从开发利用到最终消费的链式结构的复合系统,通过资源流动分析,将有助于揭示资源开发利用及其效应的动态过程机制。     

国家科技发展规划与中国的资源科学

国家先后编制了七次科技发展规划,资源科学研究也从最初的自然资源综合考察发展成了一门综合性交叉学科。其中以《1956-1967年科学技术发展远景规划》和《1978-1985年全国科学技术发展规划纲要》,对资源科学的形成与发展影响最大。前者推动了中国自然资源综合考察事业的形成与发展,后者促进了中国资源科学考察事业的发展与壮大,进而推动了资源科学的形成与发展。全文在回顾与展望国家科技发展规划与中国资源科学发展的基础上,提出了新世纪初期国家中长期科学技术发展规划有关资源科学发展的3条建议。
