THE EFFECT OF FLOOD PLAIN LOCATION ON PROPERTY VALUES: THREE TOWNS IN NORTHEASTERN NEW JERSEY1

ABSTRACT: The persistence of development and settlement in flood plains and continued damages from flooding, raises the question of how property owners respond to flood plain location and whether property values reflect this response. Existing studies disagree on the significance of flood hazard for property values. This study evaluates the effect of flood plain location on assessed valuation and home value in three towns in New Jersey. A t-test on mean assessed value and value of owner-occupied units at block levels showed no statistically significant variation for flood prone and nonflood prone lands. Possible explanations are that homeowners do not know or perceive the risk of living in flood plains, assessors do not incorporate flooding into assessment criteria, and the National Flood Insurance Program subsidies and broadened financial markets may equalize property values.     

秦岭─黄淮平原交界带近五百年的旱涝研究

本文根据旱涝史料及现代观测资料，运用旱涝等级评定法和农田水分平衡法，对秦岭─黄淮平原交界带自１４７０～１９８０年逐年的旱涝状况进行了评定，重建了秦岭─黄淮平原交界带１４７０～１９８０年近５００ａ的旱涝等级序列，在此基础上讨论了旱涝发生的基本规律。运用山地─平原交界带气候边际效应的观点，探讨了山地─平原交界带气候边际效应与旱涝的关系．     

Mathematical Model on Flow Regime and Water Harvesting in Inundation Plains1

Abstract: A mathematical model on flow regime and water harvesting in inundation plains is presented. The flow profile is a free over‐fall at the end of the desired inundation. The flow front in the plain is on‐line for the entire coverage, in a sense that there is initiation of flow mass after each small reach of the flow traverse, and it is continuing to the extreme point of coverage. The water‐harvesting phenomenon depends upon the occurrences of the hydrologic events, the nature of surface flows in the valley, the expected favorable time of flood incidence, and the soil characteristics of the plains. The model has been tested for three micro‐watersheds of different soil characteristics. It is best suited to platykurtic nature of flood phenomenon in the study area, with the correlation co‐efficient in‐between computed and observed amount of water harvesting above 0.90.     

三江平原湿地的生态保护与修复

三江平原是中国最大的平原沼泽分布区,从二十世纪七十年代中后期国家开始对三江平原进行多次大规模的开垦,这些开垦基本上是天然湿地,从而导致了土地退化和生态环境恶化,使湿地的面积不但减少,其功能不断退化,引起一系列生态环境问题。因此,积极采取措施保护现有的湿地,开展受损湿地的生态恢复,战缓和消除导致温地退化因素的影响,实现三江平原湿地资源的可持续利用、人与自然和谐相处,是湿地生态保护和修复的目标。

基于过程的河北平原农田生态系统稳定性评价

论文旨在探讨河北平原区农田生态系统稳定性的概念及内涵,构建稳定性评价指标体系并进行定量评价实证研究。首先,在总结生态系统领域有关稳定性研究相关成果的基础上,结合农田生态系统稳定性的特点,给出了农田生态系统稳定性的概念,并分析了其稳定性内涵。然后,以县域为研究单元构建了一个包括产量形成、投入产出、土壤生态等主导过程及生态环境效应4个方面22个具体指标的评价指标体系。最后,构建了区域农田生态系统稳定性评价的数学模型;并以雄县为例,运用所建模型进行评价,发现1995~2005年该区农田生态系统稳定性水平变化较大且呈阶段性发展,1995~1999年呈直线式逐年下降,2000~2005年呈波浪式发展,且投入产出过程对该区农田生态系统稳定性影响最大。

Behaviour of pendimethalin in tropical and mediterranean plain field condition

Abstract

Behaviour of the herbicide pendimethalin [N‐(l‐ethylpropyl)‐3,4‐dimethyl‐2,6‐dinitrobenzenamine] was evaluated in plain field under wet tropical conditions (Martinique, FWI) and in the Mediterranean area (Languedoc, South of France). Simultaneously, adsorption parameters were discussed with Freundlich equation, and desorption evaluated using a model with two compartments corresponding to two different energy levels. Pendimethalin showed a strong adsorption in all three soils and was very difficult to desorb. Higher clay content in tropical vertisol and ferrisol involved adsorption parameters (Kfa) higher than the one found in the Mediterranean fluvisol. Although heavy rainfalls in the tropics intervene on migration, pendimethalin propensity to leaching is levelled by its strong adsorption potential and appears very limited under the conditions chosen during this work. Half‐life of the compound (in the 0–25 cm soil layer) varied from 13 to 17 days. Pendimethalin was also classified as a “non‐leacher” compound using the “Gustafson model”.
