A responsibility–accountability framework for private sector use of a World Heritage Area

The Great Barrier Reef (GBR) is a natural asset of global significance, spanning 2600?km’s along the Australian coastline. On the southern tip of the GBR is the Gladstone region, where high levels of industrial activity have been juxtaposed with the natural wonder, and World Heritage Listed, GBR. Given these competing local priorities, this research explores local perceptions of the GBR and its management. Exploratory analysis of 38 interviews with residents and stakeholders from Gladstone revealed a potential incongruence between environmental concern and support for more stringent management of the tourism and resources sectors on the GBR. A responsibility–accountability framework (RAF) for managing the use and protection of the GBR is developed by drawing on current theoretical frameworks and the results of the interviews. Importantly the framework highlights the importance of business responsibility combined with monitoring and control mechanisms to ensure accountability and to deliver transparency, education and partnership. Future research should apply the RAF for testing and application in other marine World Heritage Area contexts.     

Mg2+离子对深海碳酸盐中硼的掺入和B/Ca指标的影响

对母液中Mg²⁺离子对硼掺入无机碳酸盐沉积的影响进行了研究。通过扫描电子显微镜和X射线衍射确定在Mg存在时生成的无机碳酸盐是低镁方解石。实验发现：溶液的pH值是硼进入碳酸盐的主要控制因素,低Mg²⁺方解石中硼的浓度从63.91 μg?g?1（pH?=?7.40??±??0.03）增加到582.41 μg?g^?1（pH?=?8.80??±??0.03）。Mg²⁺离子严重影响硼进入碳酸盐中的量,在相同实验条件下,硼在低镁方解石中的含量高于无Mg²⁺方解石中的含量,平均为2.57倍（1.83?—?3.56倍）。这一结果表明：有Mg²⁺离子时,硼掺入无机碳酸盐的机制和无Mg²⁺离子的是不同的。Mg²⁺离子的存在改变了晶体的形貌。这对利用B/Ca指标恢复深海碳酸盐系统研究有重要影响。     

林地面积增加提高了农户营林积极性吗?——基于9省1 504个农户数据的倾向值匹配分析

论文利用9省1 504个农户调研数据,实证检验了新一轮集体林改后林地面积增加对农户营林积极性的因果效应。考虑到农户对林地经营面积决策的内生性问题,采用倾向值匹配方法对选择性偏差进行控制。匹配后,处理组和控制组在多个标准上均通过了平衡性检验。结果显示,林地面积增加确实促进了农户营林积极性的提高,但这是一个缓慢的动态调整过程。其中,资本投入强度在2010年以后才逐步表现为显著增加,增长率约为25%~27%,2013年进一步强化为28%~34%。资本投入强度的增加主要是由化肥和农药投入增加引起的,对种苗的投入强度并没有显著改善。这种差异说明,新一轮林改提高了农户的森林经营和管护积极性,但对造林行为的影响有限。同时农户并没有因为林地面积增加而显著提高劳动力的投入强度。这种资本对劳动的替代与农户的非农就业行为密切相关。     

The evolution of regional cross-border water regimes,the case of Deltarhine

In this study, we look at the evolution of a cooperative water regime in the delta of the Rhine catchment. In a Dutch–German case study, we focus on cross-border cooperation on the local and regional scale, describing and analyzing how a remarkably resilient and robust transboundary water regime has evolved over the course of 50 years. Context-, interest- and knowledge-based explanations contribute important insights into the evolution of the Deltarhine regime, and it is shown that the legal, institutional and socio-economic context shapes and constrains regional cross-border cooperation. Surprisingly in this regard, we find that European water directives have not yet played a decisive, catalyzing role for policy harmonization across borders. Finally, we show that key individuals play a crucial role in regime formation and development. We suggest that the presence of entrepreneurs and leaders adds explanatory power to current conceptual frameworks in international river basin management, thus meriting further research.     

Exploring public perception of environmental technology over time

This paper analyses how new information shapes public perception of a controversially discussed technology over time. The test case analysed in this paper is solar radiation management (SRM), a potentially risky, environmental engineering technology, which aims to fight climate change by the injection of sulphate aerosols into the stratosphere. Using panel survey data, we show that most respondents initially show strong negative emotions towards SRM and reject the technology. However, public perception is not stable over time as emotions cool off and acceptance increases. The increase in acceptance is greater, the longer the cooling-off period between two surveys. Furthermore, we show that the cooling-off effect is more pronounced for more impulsive respondents.

黑河流域大气降水稳定同位素变化及模拟

利用2002～2004年黑河流域6个采样点上的301个降水数据,对黑河流域大气降水中δD和δ18O的变化进行了分析.结果表明,流域降水δ18O和δD的变化范围分别为6.5‰～-33.4‰和59‰～-254‰,这主要是由于降水水汽来源不同和气象条件特别是气温和降水量的较大变化使得降水形成的凝结机制发生变化引起;降水中同位...
