郑州市水污染物排放现状及分析研究

随着经济的进步,水污染问题日益凸显,水资源短缺越来越严重,这不仅制约了城市的经济、社会、环境的可持续发展,更是对人体健康造成了威胁,为了解郑州市近年来污染物排放状况及对其原因进行分析,本文对近几年污染物排放量进行调查,结果表明污水排放总量逐渐上升,这与人口增加、工农业需水量增加有关;主要限排物质COD、氨氮的排放量总体呈下降趋势,但个别年份出现突增现象,这可能与政府的环保政策改变及个别工业偷排有关,对此本研究提出相适应的建议.

重庆市北碚大气中PM2.5、NOx、SO2和O3浓度变化特征研究

重庆是我国西南工业重镇,但长期受大气污染困扰.利用全自动在线环境监测仪器,于2012年1月—2014年2月,对重庆市北碚区大气中的典型污染物PM2.5、NO_x、SO_2和O_3进行了观测研究.结果表明:重庆北碚大气首要污染物为PM2.5,2012和2013年平均浓度分别为(67.5±31.9)和(66.6±37.5)μg·m~(-3),是国家环境空气质量一级标准35μg·m~(-3)的1.9倍,两年超过国家二级标准的天数分别为119和126 d,年超标率均大于1/3;两年NO_x,SO_2及O_3的年平均浓度分别为(57.1±24.6)和(55.1±36.6),(43.1±24.0)和(35.0±21.9)及(31.1±24.9)和(48.5±37.4)μg·m~(-3).大气污染物浓度具有明显的季节变化特征,PM2.5和NO_x冬季污染最为严重,两年冬季平均值分别比两年年平均值高33.6%、59.6%和43.2%、8.5%;O_3表现为夏高冬低;SO_2春季最高且污染最轻.大气污染物日变化显示PM2.5和NO_x浓度呈双峰日变化形式,有早晚两个峰值,与城市交通高峰相对应.SO_2和O_3浓度呈单峰日变化,前者峰值出现在午前10∶00—12∶00大气对流层被打破之后,而后者峰值出现在午后16∶00局地光化学最强之时.消减各种污染源的颗粒物直接排放,消减气态污染物SO_2和NO_x的工业排放,消减机动车NO_x和VOCs等的排放,才有可能使重庆北碚的大气污染状况得到改善.     

Latent Extinction and Invasion Risk of Crayfishes in the Southeastern United States

Abstract: Crayfishes are both a highly imperiled invertebrate group as well as one that has produced many invasive species, which have negatively affected freshwater ecosystems throughout the world. We performed a trait analysis for 77 crayfishes from the southeastern United States in an attempt to understand which biological and ecological traits make these species prone to imperilment or invasion, and to predict which species may face extinction or become invasive in the future. We evaluated biological and ecological traits with principal coordinate analysis and classification trees. Invasive and imperiled crayfishes occupied different positions in multivariate trait space, although crayfishes invasive at different scales (extraregional vs. extralimital) were also distinct. Extraregional crayfishes (large, high fecundity, habitat generalists) were most distinct from imperiled crayfishes (small, low fecundity, habitat specialists), thus supporting the “two sides of the same coin” hypothesis. Correct classification rates for assignment of crayfishes as invasive or imperiled were high (70–80%), even when excluding the highly predictive but potentially confounding trait of range size (75–90%). We identified a number of species that, although not currently listed as imperiled or found outside their native range, possess many of the life‐history and ecological traits characteristic of currently invasive or imperiled taxa. Such species exhibit a high latent risk of extinction or invasion and consequently should be the focus of proactive conservation or management strategies. Our results illustrate the utility of trait‐based approaches for taxonomic groups such as invertebrates, for which detailed species‐specific data are rare and conservation resources are chronically limited.     

Balancing Forest‐Regeneration Probabilities and Maintenance Costs in Dry Grasslands of High Conservation Priority

Abstract: Abandonment of agricultural land has resulted in forest regeneration in species‐rich dry grasslands across European mountain regions and threatens conservation efforts in this vegetation type. To support national conservation strategies, we used a site‐selection algorithm (MARXAN) to find optimum sets of floristic regions (reporting units) that contain grasslands of high conservation priority. We sought optimum sets that would accommodate 136 important dry‐grassland species and that would minimize forest regeneration and costs of management needed to forestall predicted forest regeneration. We did not consider other conservation elements of dry grasslands, such as animal species richness, cultural heritage, and changes due to climate change. Optimal sets that included 95–100% of the dry grassland species encompassed an average of 56–59 floristic regions (standard deviation, SD 5). This is about 15% of approximately 400 floristic regions that contain dry‐grassland sites and translates to 4800–5300 ha of dry grassland out of a total of approximately 23,000 ha for the entire study area. Projected costs to manage the grasslands in these optimum sets ranged from CHF (Swiss francs) 5.2 to 6.0 million/year. This is only 15–20% of the current total estimated cost of approximately CHF30–45 million/year required if all dry grasslands were to be protected. The grasslands of the optimal sets may be viewed as core sites in a national conservation strategy.     

Incentive Structure of and Private Landowner Participation in an Endangered Species Conservation Program

Abstract: In the United States, voluntary incentive programs that aid conservation of plant and wildlife species on private lands provide a structural solution to the problem of protecting endangered species by reducing costs and enhancing benefits to landowners. We explored the potential for incentives to encourage landowners to manage land cover for the benefit of endangered songbirds in central Texas (U.S.A.) by asking landowners to indicate their preferences for financial incentives, technical assistance, and regulatory assurances. We identified owners of potential songbird habitat and collected data in face‐to‐face interviews and self‐administered questionnaires. We used a latent‐class stated‐choice model to identify 3 classes of landowners whose choices varied on the basis of their attitudes and perceived social norms: (1) strong positive attitude, perceived social pressure to participate, and willing to participate with relatively few incentives, (2) weak positive attitude, perceived no social pressure to participate, and required strongest incentives, and (3) negative attitude, perceived social pressure not to enroll, and unwilling to participate regardless of incentive structure. Given this heterogeneity in preferences, conservation incentives may increase management of land cover to benefit endangered species on private lands to some degree; however, exclusive reliance on incentives may be insufficient. Promoting conservation on private lands may be enhanced by integrating incentives into an approach that incorporates other strategies for conservation, including social networks and collaborative processes that reinforce social norms.
