Comparing the soil quality changes of different land uses determined by two quantitative methods

Soil quality is one of the most important environmental factors in sustaining the global biosphere and developing sustainable agricultural practices.A study was initiated in Wolong Nature Reserve,Sichuan Province,China to elucidate the soil quality changes of natural secondary succession,forest planting and agricultural practices after deforestatin in the humid mountainous region.The soil qualities of six land use types(natural forestland ,grassland,shrub land,secondary index(QI) and soil deterioration index(DI).The QI values of natural forestland ,grassland,shrub land,secondary forestland,cultivated land ,reforested land were 0.8039,0.3277,0.9127,0.6881,0.0285 and 0.3183,respectively.The DI values were 0%,-14%,12%,1%,-26% and -18% respectively.Both indexes suggested that shrub land can restore soil properties.To compare the two methods more directly,a deduced index QI‘based on QI value was developed,.The results showed that DI and AI‘ had a very high linear correlation coefficient(r=0.9775) despite the values were different .Both methods were efficient in evaluating the soil quality levels and DI was a more simple way in soil quality assessment,while QI could show more ecological meanings.

Propagation functions for monitoring distributional changes

In environmental assessment and monitoring, a primary objective of the investigator is to describe the changes occurring in the environmentally important variables over time. Propagation functions have been proposed to describe the distributional changes occurring in the variable of interest at two different times. McDonald et al. (1992, 1995) proposed an estimator of propagation function under the assumption of normality. We conduct a detailed sensitivity analysis of inference based on the normal model. It turns out that this model is appropriate only for small departures from normality whereas, for moderate to large departures, both estimation and testing of hypothesis break down. Non-parametric estimation of the propagation function based on kernel density estimation is also considered and the robustness of the choice of bandwidth for kernel density estimation is investigated. Bootstrapping is employed to obtain confidence intervals for the propagation function and also to determine the critical regions for testing the significance of distributional changes between two sampling epochs. Also studied briefly is the mathematical form and graphical shape of the propagation function for some parametric bivariate families of distributions. Finally, the proposed estimation techniques are illustrated on a data set of tree ring widths.     

遥感技术在土壤污染中的应用研究进展

近年来遥感技术不断地拓展着应用的领域和范围，在土壤污染方面得到了广泛的关注和应用。传统土壤污染的研究存在许多弊端，需要耗费大量时间和精力。遥感技术具有建模范围大、实时性短的特点，它的出现使这些繁琐的过程更加简化。特别是近些年来图像处理手段和无人机遥感技术的发展，极大地提高了该技术的应用精度。本文从遥感技术在土壤污染状况的识别、反演、监管和风险评估等方面的应用出发，列举了遥感技术应用过程中常用的反演手段和方法，梳理了监管数据来源和监管对象。通过目前土壤污染与遥感技术结合的发展现状，较为全面地回顾了国内外遥感技术应用于土壤污染的发展历程，总结了遥感技术应用于土壤污染的各个方面的进展，并对该方面的未来发展趋势进行了展望。     

闹得海水库营养状态分析及富营养化防治

结合9年来对闹得海水库水质监测及相关文献资料，评价闹得海水库营养状态，分析主要污染物变化趋势，对该水库营养状态进行分析，提出该水库富营养化防治对策。结果表明：闹得海水库9年来营养状态在中营养-中富营养之间，主要营养盐总氮、总磷及高锰酸盐指数9年间无显著变化，农业面源是该水库主要营养盐及有机物主要来源。     

环境中的外部性及其内部化

在经济活动中，经济人为了使自己的收益达到最大化，他们会尽可能地使外部成本转嫁给社会，减少自己的内部成本，使社会资源的配置偏离社会的需要，所以，为了使资源的配置达到帕累托最优，就必须使外部成本内部化。内部化外部成本的经济手段有：向经济人征税、界定资源的产权和实行排污权交易制度等措施。

Ranked set sampling: an annotated bibliography

The paper provides an up-to-date annotated bibliography of the literature on ranked set sampling. The bibliography includes all pertinent papers known to the authors, and is intended to cover applications as well as theoretical developments. The annotations are arranged in chronological order and are intended to be sufficiently complete and detailed that a reading from beginning to end would provide a statistically mature reader with a state-of-the-art survey of ranked set sampling, including historical development, current status, and future research directions and applications. A final section of the paper gives a listing of all annotated papers, arranged in alphabetical order by author.This paper was prepared with partial support from the United States Environmental Protection Agency under a Cooperative Agreement Number CR-821531. The contents have not been subject to Agency review and therefore do not necessarily reflect the views or policies of the Agency and no official endorsement should be inferred.     

Is the antipredatory response in behaviour reflected in stress measured in faecal corticosteroids in a small rodent?

Predation risk has been shown to alter various behaviours in prey. Risk alters activity, habitat use and foraging, and weight decrease might be a consequence of that. In mammals, studies on physiological measures affected by risk of predation, other than weight, are rare. We studied in two separate laboratory experiments foraging, hoarding behaviour and expression of stress measured non-invasively from the faeces in the bank vole (Clethrionomys glareolus), a common boreal rodent. Voles were exposed to predation risk using odours of the least weasels (Mustela nivalis nivalis). Distilled water served as control. In the first experiment, we found that foraging effort, measured as sunflower seeds taken from seed trays filled with sand, was significantly lower in trays scented with weasel odour. Both immediate consumption of seeds and hoarding were affected negatively by the weasel odour. Females hoarded significantly more than males in autumn. In the second experiment, the negative effect of weasel odour on foraging was consistent over a 3-day experiment, but the strongest effect was observed in the first night. Foraging increased over the time of the experiment, which might reflect either energetic compensation during a longer period of risk, predicted in the predation risk allocation hypothesis, or habituation to the odour-simulated risk. Despite decreased foraging under predation risk, stress measured as corticosteroid metabolite concentration in vole faeces was not affected by the weasel odour treatment. In conclusion, we were able to verify predation-risk-mediated changes in the foraging effort of bank voles but no physiological stress response was measured non-invasively, probably due to great individual variation in secretion of stress hormones.
