Effectiveness of Corridors Relative to Enlargement of Habitat Patches

Abstract:  The establishment of biological corridors between two otherwise isolated habitat patches is a common yet contentious strategy for conserving populations in fragmented landscapes. We compared the effectiveness of corridors with the effectiveness of an alternate conservation strategy, the enlargement of existing habitat patches. We used a spatially explicit population model that simulated population size in two kinds of patches. One patch had a corridor that connected it to a larger "source" patch and the other patch was unconnected and enlarged at the periphery by an area the same size as the corridor. Patch isolation, corridor width, patch size, and the probability that individuals would cross the border from habitat to matrix were varied independently. In general, population size was greater in enlarged patches than in connected patches when patches were relatively large and isolated. Corridor width and the probability of crossing the border from habitat to matrix did not affect the relative benefit of corridors versus patch enlargement. Although biological corridors may mitigate potential effects of inbreeding depression at long time scales, our results suggest that they are not always the best method of conserving fragmented populations.     

部分绿色植物对环境的保护作用

绿色植物对环境有着重要的保护作用．概括而言，绿色植物可以吸收CO2、二氧化硫、氟化氢及其它一些有害气体，同时绿色植物还吸收空气中的灰尘、杀灭细菌以及净化水源．本文详细探讨了绿色植物的环保作用，旨在提高人们对于绿色植物认识和保护意识．     

基于城市可持续发展的生态绿地建设——以仪征市为例

寻求合乎社会目的与自然规律的城市发展之路，目前必须实施生态建设，加强城市生态系统的负反馈调节。城市生态绿地建设推进城市生态系统良性循环改善城市自身调节功能，使人与自然关系和谐统一，为城市可持续发展作必要的支撑，是城市基础设施建设的重要组成部分。本文以仪征市为例，着重探讨发展中工业城市生态绿地建设的一些主要问题。     

孔雀绿染料的微生物脱色研究

从印染废水处理池的活性污泥中分离到五株对孔雀绿染料有脱色能力的细菌,其中编号为３＃的菌株人苍白杆菌（Ｏｃｈｒｏｂａｃｔｒｕｍ ａｎｔｈｒｏｐｉ）的脱色能力较强。对３＃菌株的脱色反应条件进行初步研究表明,３＃细菌的脱色反应的ｐＨ为５－１１,最佳范围ｐＨ６－７;温度１０－３０℃,最佳温度３０℃;有氧气民政部下的脱色效果较缺氧情况下好;在最佳条件下该菌对孔雀绿染料的脱色作用较强,处理４、１２、２４ｈ后,

Deconstructing sustainable rubber production: contesting narratives in rural Sumatra

ABSTRACT

The growing demand for natural rubber is increasingly threatening biodiversity and forest ecosystems. Recently, the French Michelin Group started a cooperation with the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) to establish environmentally and socially sustainable ‘model’ rubber plantations in Sumatra and Kalimantan, Indonesia. The framing of Michelin’s tyre production as ‘eco-friendly’ and their purported ‘sustainable’ rubber cultivation contradict with statements by villagers living around Michelin’s plantation in Jambi Province, Sumatra, who are reporting environmental destruction and land tenure conflicts. Conceptually, we build on political ecology and critical human geography perspectives to identify conflicts and ambiguities related to sustainability claims, deforestation and dispossession. Empirically, we draw on qualitative research in a village affected by the plantation. We confront and deconstruct the discursive framing of sustainable rubber production with our empirical findings. We show how the plantation restricts access to land and instead of providing additional income, is actually limiting development opportunities.
