OUTPUT AND INVESTMENT FRONTIERS OF UNITED STATES IRRIGATED AGRICULTURE1

ABSTRACT: Economic models sometimes indicate that irrigation water is misallocated in agriculture, especially when it appears that the marginal value product is higher in other uses (such as for hydro-power). Historically, trends tend to contradict this reasoning, however, especially since irrigation has grown from 20 million acres in 1940 to over 50 million acres in 1980. Results of this study tend to indicate that as agriculture becomes more and more intensive (in terms of inputs), irrigation is part of that long term trend. Further, major economic variables, such as output and investments in agriculture, appear to be more highly correlated with irrigated land than with dryland agriculture. Recent data indicate an upper limit of about 320 million acres for dryland farming in the United States, while no such constraint is apparent for irrigated agriculture.     

INFILTRATION AND WATER QUALITY ON RANGE SITES AT FORT STANTON,NEW MEXICO1

ABSTRACT: The hydrologic impacts of livestock grazing schemes on selected plant communities and soils at Fort Stanton, New Mexico, were evaluated. Simulated rainfall was applied to 1 m²plots. On a mesa-top, infiltration rates for a grassland livestock exclosure and a pinyon pine-juniper community closely approximated each other and were significantly greater (P = 0.10) than either a moderate continuous or a heavy continuous treatment in a grassland community. Sediment concentration from the heavy continuous treatment was more than twice that of the other treatments. Infiltration rates on the hillside site were highest in a pinyon pine-juniper community receiving short duration grazing. Infiltration for this treatment was found to be significantly higher (P = 0.10) than that of a short duration grazing treatment, but not from a rest rotation grazing treatment on grassland. The short duration grazing treatment on a grassland had the highest sediment concentration, while the rest rotation grazing on a grassland and the short duration pinyon pine-juniper treatments were found to be similar. In the bottomland site, a fertilized and unfertilized treatment showed no significant difference in infiltration or sediment concentration, although twice as many animals were present on the fertilized treatment.     

昆明市规模化畜禽养殖场污染现状及控制对策

对昆明市畜禽养殖污染现状调查显示,2002年规模化畜禽养殖场产生粪尿207290t,大部分被作为农家肥处理掉,平均使用率为85%,但几乎未经过无害化处理,对周围区域水体及湖泊造成严重污染.政府应对畜禽养殖业进行宏观监挖,加大环境管理力度,加强畜禽污水监测排放,并进行减量化治理,无害化处理,综合利用,循环发展,实现生态养殖.     

畜禽粪污集中处理模式中的三方演化博弈研究——基于规模差异与政府干预视角

作为环境污染治理的新举措,畜禽粪污集中处理中心虽然在高效处理粪污、提高资源利用质量、改善农村环境等方面发挥了显著作用,但是,其在运营中依然存在各种各样的问题,如设备利用率低下、粪污未能得到有效收集、骗取补贴等。为了探讨上述运营困境的形成机理,本文从养殖规模差异化与政府干预视角出发,构建政府、养殖户与处理中心三方共同参与的演化博弈模型,并在不同情境下探讨三方策略选择的影响因素与演化路径。研究表明,当小规模养殖户占比较高时,处理中心会选择“投机”策略加以获利,反之,在粪污处理需求大的规模养殖地区,处理中心则倾向于“不投机”的稳定经营策略;虽然政府补贴对于养殖户选择“参与”策略具有促进作用,但是,对于小规模养殖户而言,仍有一定的概率选择“不参与”策略;政府需要综合考虑处理中心的预期收益、受奖惩力度等因素制定合理补贴范畴,若补贴过高且缺乏相应的监管机制,处理中心会为了谋求更多利益而采取“投机”策略;当处理中心投机行为较频繁时,政府需加大监管并提高惩罚力度,以维护畜禽粪污集中处理模式正常运作。     

泥石流滩地农业资源化开发与利用——以蒋家沟为例

泥石流滩地是山区宝贵的土地资源,其农业资源化开发与利用对促进当地社会经济发展和生态环境改善具有重要意义。以蒋家沟流域为例,在野外调查、遥感解译和实验分析的基础上,阐述了泥石流滩地农业资源化的原则和依据,建立了人畜 土地载荷平衡模型,分析了滩地开发利用的依据、效益和途径,并探讨了泥石流滩地未来农业资源化的思路和对策。研究结果表明：（1） 建立的人畜 土地载荷平衡模型反映了流域生态环境特征,能有效评价滩地开发利用的生态效益;（2）流域滩地农业资源化每年可产生500多万元的经济效益,除满足全流域6 418人的粮食需求外,还可提供338 t商品粮,是促进当地脱贫致富和社会经济发展的重要途径;（3）泥石流滩地既是宝贵的土地资源又是灾害的场所,其开发与利用可有效缓解山区人地矛盾,具有良好的生态效益,但需要在加强灾害防治和防灾减灾意识的基础上,进行深度农业资源化开发.     

UAFSB反应器处理畜禽废水的快速启动

对UASB反应器进行改型,得到UAFSB,并结合UASB反应器快速启动的驯化方式,比较分析用畜禽废水直接启动加颗粒活性炭与未加颗粒活性炭的运行过程和结果。试验结果表明：絮状污泥接种后经过54天的驯化,进料COD浓度由800mg／L提高到5000mg／L,去除率基本稳定在90％以上,均达到预期目的;在污泥中掺入颗粒活性炭,反应器的启动时间有所缩短、抗冲击能力有所加强。     

食物污泥对红斑顠体虫生长的影响

对不同污泥浓度、颗粒粒径以及蛋白质含量条件下红斑顠体虫的生长情况进行了考察,结果表明,在试验污泥浓度范围内红斑顠体虫的最大容纳密度与污泥浓度成正比,而比增长速率和污泥浓度之间的关系满足Monod方程.污泥中蛋白质含量越高,红斑顠体虫比增长速率越高.污泥絮体颗粒粒径越小,越容易为红斑顠体虫所摄食.     

Suitability of Golf Course Ponds for Amphibian Metamorphosis When Bullfrogs Are Removed

Abstract:  Managing areas designed for human recreation so that they are compatible with natural amphibian populations can reduce the negative impacts of habitat destruction. We examined the potential for amphibians to complete larval development in golf course ponds in the presence or absence of overwintered bullfrog tadpoles ( Rana catesbeiana ), which are frequently found in permanent, human-made ponds. We reared larval American toads ( Bufo americanus ), southern leopard frogs ( R. sphenocephala ), and spotted salamanders ( Ambystoma maculatum ) with 0 or 5 overwintered bullfrog tadpoles in field enclosures located in ponds on golf courses or in experimental wetlands at a reference site. Survival to metamorphosis of American toads, southern leopard frogs, and spotted salamanders was greater in ponds on golf courses than at reference sites. We attributed this increased survival to low abundance of insect predators in golf course ponds. The presence of overwintered bullfrogs, however, reduced the survival of American toads, southern leopard frogs, and spotted salamanders reared in golf course ponds, indicating that the suitability of the aquatic habitats for these species partly depended on the biotic community present. Our results suggest that ponds in human recreational areas should be managed by maintaining intermediate hydroperiods, which will reduce the presence of bullfrog tadpoles and predators, such as fish, and which may allow native amphibian assemblages to flourish.     

养殖场污水灌溉土壤渗出液磷特征分析

养殖场污水田间处理会引起土壤表面径流和渗出液中的磷组分流失.磷组分中有机磷比无机磷酸盐迁移能力强,构成地表水体富营养化重要的磷源.本文通过一组实验来探讨养殖场污水灌溉条件下土壤渗出液有机磷成分和数量特征.实验设计9个地块,其中一组4个地块加入45kg.(hm^-1·a)^-1的过磷酸钙(以P计,下同),然后4次分别加入100、200、300、400t.(hm²·a)^-1猪场污水,相应地施磷量分别为6.2、12.4、19.2、24.8kg.(hm²·a)^-1;另一组4个地块只加入同样猪场污水.渗出液物化分析表明渗出液中颗粒态难反应磷居多,占TP的77%～90%.³¹P的核磁共振波谱分析表明难反应P主要以有机磷的单酯和二酯形式存在.在磷酸酶活性实验中,渗出液自身含有的磷酸单酯酶和磷酸二酯酶可以水解9%～29%有机磷,这表明P在迁移过程中,部分磷酸单酯和二酯可以水解成无机磷.对于施肥处理P45+F200而言,有机磷组分酶水解显示难反应磷主要含有33%的易反应单酯磷、17%的肌醇磷和9%磷酸二酯(磷脂和核酸).易反应单酯磷、肌醇磷和磷酸二酯是渗滤液有机磷流失过程能矿化的重要成分.     

日本畜禽产业排泄物处理与循环利用的现状与技术

20世纪40年代后,日本畜禽产业结构向大型集约化方向发展,年畜禽粪便排放总量7600万t左右。同时,由于畜禽产业等中小规模企业排出含有高氮磷等污染物的废水,致使湖泊、海域的富营养化问题日益严重。日本《水质污浊防止法》规定:饲养规模在50m2以上的养猪场和200m2以上的养牛场的排泄物排放标准为:总氮<120mg/L,总磷<16mg/L。牲畜粪便处理技术的研究和开发,一方面着重于高效脱氮除磷技术,另一方面,从资源的有效利用角度考虑,建立各种排水与废弃物处置的自立型循环共生系统。本文介绍了当前日本畜产业排泄物的处理与循环利用的现状与技术,特别是复合回收型处理系统及远程自动控制等技术的应用,推进了生物量循环的循环型社会的形成,同时,实现环境改善与资源的再利用。
