西北干旱荒漠生态区脆弱性动态监测及驱动因子定量分析

全球气候变化和人类活动双重胁迫下,西北干旱荒漠生态区的脆弱生态系统发生了深刻变化。论文在充分考虑研究区生态环境背景特征（沙漠化、盐渍化、风力侵蚀、干旱等灾害严重）的基础上,引入极端气候灾害因子（指示气候变化）和大尺度景观格局指数（指示人类活动对生态景观的干扰）,构建了西北干旱荒漠生态区的生态脆弱性评价体系,并对研究区2000—2013年的生态脆弱性时空变化格局及其驱动机制进行了定量分析和讨论。研究结果表明：西北干旱荒漠生态区的生态脆弱性总体上处于中-重度脆弱状态;其生态脆弱性空间分布格局总体上呈现自东向西递减的趋势,西部局部地区则呈现“E”字型格局,该分布格局主要受西北内陆地区大气环流以及三山夹两盆的特殊地貌影响;2000—2013年,西北干旱荒漠生态区生态脆弱性呈现减小趋势,其生态脆弱性变化状况受气温、降水以及人类活动影响显著。研究成果可以为西北干旱荒漠生态区的生态保护和治理提供决策支持。     

基于水经济价值的长江口环境流量探讨

适宜的环境流量对于维持河口生态系统稳定以及保障区域社会经济用水需求有着重要意义。论文以探讨水资源优化配置条件下长江口适宜环境流量为目的,基于水经济价值分析构建了长江中下游水资源优化配置模型,分析了区域缺水量以及环境流量约束的影子成本随长江口环境流量约束的变化。结果表明：当环境流量约束超过临界值后,区域缺水量不断增加,且环境流量约束产生非零影子成本;通过区域供水目标和环境流量约束的影子成本图确定长江口适宜环境流量的上限和下限,得到20%、50%、75%及95%水资源保证率下,长江口适宜环境流量分别为27.10×10⁹~29.65×10⁹、25.50×10⁹~27.12×10⁹、23.08×10⁹~24.62×10⁹及17.72×10⁹~19.65×10⁹ m³/月;该环境流量标准可以满足一定目标下长江口的生态需求。     

基于“三生空间”的土地利用功能转型及生态服务价值研究——以福州新区为例

分析土地利用功能转型及带来的生态服务价值转变,是快速城镇化地区土地资源开发利用和“三生空间”管控的重要依据。论文基于福州新区2000、2009和2015年3期Landsat ETM+/OLI遥感数据和“三生”土地利用主导功能分类体系,应用GIS定量研究了福州新区15 a土地利用功能转型特征及生态系统服务价值时空演变,结果表明： 1）15 a间福州新区的生活生产空间增长迅速,面积增加了11 224.63 hm²,增长率达82.31%;生态生产空间面积出现先下降后增长趋势,总体增长了19.94%;生活生产空间的增长源于对生态空间和生产生态空间的侵占,生态生产空间的增长源于对湿地、海域等生态空间的侵占。2）15 a间福州新区生态系统服务价值下降了21.69%,其中生态空间下降总量最大,减少了6.822 8亿元,生活生产空间下降幅度最大,下降了92.10%。3）区域生态系统服务价值存在提高和下降两种相反趋势,导致研究区生态系统服务价值降低的主要原因是生活生产空间对生态空间和生产生态空间的侵占,贡献率分别达38.60%和18.77%,其次为生态生产空间对生态空间的侵占。4）推进福州新区“三生空间”协同布局,应加强区内生态林地、闽江河口、海岸线等重点生态空间的保护,稳步推进新区核心区域生活空间基础设施优化,集约利用生产空间,增加产出效益。

Identifying extremely large values using composite sample data

Quantifying a composite sample results in a loss of information on the values of the constituent individual samples. As a consequence of this information loss, it is impossible to identify individual samples having large values, based on composite sample measurements alone. However, under certain circumstances, it is possible to identify individual samples having large values without exhaustively measuring all individual samples. In addition to composite sample measurements, a few additional measurements on carefully selected individual samples are sufficient to identify the individual samples having large values. In this paper, we present a statistical method to recover extremely large individual sample values using composite sample measurements. An application to site characterization is used to illustrate the method.The paper has been prepared with partial support from the United States Environmental Protection Agency Number CR815273.

Fighting behavior in hermit crabs: the combined effect of resource-holding potential and resource value in Pagurus longicarpus

A study was conducted to determine whether asymmetries in both resource-holding potential (RHP) and resource value (RV) influence dominance and fighting behavior in the hermit crab Pagurus longicarpus. A total of 120 groups of three crabs were observed for 10 min in four experiments that tested all diverse combinations of equal/different RHP (i.e. ‘body size’) and equal/different RV (i.e. ‘shell size’ and ‘shell quality’). In a fifth experiment, dominant and subordinate individuals of the same size category (26 groups) were forced to enter shells of opposite quality than those previously occupied, and then the behavior of the reconstituted original groups was observed for additional 10 min. As expected, crabs in lower quality shells were more willing to initiate and to escalate fights. However, their attacks were directed to any crab of the group, independently of the defender's shell quality, and the fight duration did not vary with the different value of the resources at stake. This may indicate that P. longicarpus is unable to assess the quality of the shells available in its social environment but bases its tactical decisions during fights solely on its own resource. This suggestion was confirmed by the change in the fighting behavior of crabs whose shell quality was experimentally altered. This manipulation induced an overall increase in the intensity of aggression, drastic modification of crab behavior, and inversion of the hierarchy even though these crabs have had previous experiences of wins/losses and were familiar to the other members of the group. In this species, large crab size and/or the occupancy of adequate (and oversized) shells appeared to be the most likely determinant of contest resolution. Individuals seemed to retain a memory of the previously held resource and behaved accordingly.

Temporal changes in demand for and supply of nests in red bishops (Euplectes orix): dynamics of a biological market

The red bishop (Euplectes orix) is a highly polygynous and colonial weaverbird. Males construct several nests within their territories to which they try to attract females, and females are solely responsible for incubation and raising offspring. In this paper, we describe the characteristics of the red bishop’s mating system as a biological market and investigate the role of nests built by males as a traded commodity in a mating market. As timing of breeding in red bishops in arid and semi-arid zones depends on rainfall patterns which are often unpredictable, there are temporal changes in demand for and supply of nests within a breeding season, with breeding activities of males and females being highly synchronised. We found that males increased their nest-building speed with increased female breeding activity independently of rainfall, indicating that supply follows demand in this mating market. The supply of nests was always larger than the demand for nests. Construction costs for nests increased with demand for nests as indicated by shorter nest-building duration and shorter building delays between two consecutively built nests at times of high breeding activity. Males as a trading class are chosen according to the age of their nests offered, with young nests having a higher probability of being accepted by females. Furthermore, female choosiness with regard to nest age decreased when their own market value decreased, as predicted by biological market theory. The temporal changes of breeding activity together with the female preference for young and fresh nests require that males quickly adjust nest-building activity to varying female demand for new nests. However, males with a better adjustment of building speed to female breeding activity did not gain higher mating success.
