京津冀城市群建设用地扩张多情景模拟及其对生态系统碳储量的影响

量化分析建设用地扩张对陆地生态系统碳储量的影响,探索模拟建设用地扩张的优化方案以提高未来生态系统碳储量,对区域可持续发展和生态文明建设具有重要的现实意义.基于土地利用和地理空间数据,利用生态系统服务与权衡综合评估（InVEST）模型和基于栅格的斑块生成土地利用模拟（PLUS）模型,以2 km网格为基本单元,核算分析了京津冀城市群2000~2020年生态系统碳储量和格局演变,拟合回归了建设用地变化和碳储量变化两者关系,设置不同城市扩张发展情景对京津冀城市群2030年土地利用格局进行了模拟并分析了不同发展情景下2020~2030年建设用地扩张对碳储量的影响.结果表明：①京津冀城市群2000、2010和2020年生态系统碳储量（以C计）分别为2 088.02、2 106.78和2 121.25 Tg,其中林地碳库占比最大.研究期间碳储量减少的网格单元集中分布在北京、天津、石家庄和唐山等大城市周边,建设用地扩张的区域是碳储量变化最为剧烈的区域.②在建设用地占比10%以上的各等级网格单元区域,建设用地扩张和碳储量变化回归拟合关系良好,两者回归系数均呈现波动上升趋势.③在自然发展、建设用地扩张增速减少15%和建设用地扩张增速减少30%这3种发展情景下,2030年生态系统碳储量（以C计）分别为2 129.12、2 133.55和2 139.10 Tg.2020~2030年建设用地扩张和碳储量变化两者回归拟合效果均明显优于2000~2010年和2010~2020年,回归系数随着建设用地占比等级的增加均呈现波动增加的趋势.在各建设用地占比等级区域,回归系数值均呈现：自然发展情景<建设用地扩张增速减少15%发展情景<建设用地扩张增速减少30%发展情景.在“双碳”目标下,京津冀城市群应优先选择建设用地扩张增速降低发展情景,对建设用地的扩张应优先控制在建设用地占比较高的区域.     

Impact of Disturbance on Waterfowl Wintering in a UK Dockland Redevelopment Area

One of the UK's largest flocks of pochard Aythya ferina and tufted duck A. fuligula winters in Manchester's busy dockland redevelopment area. I examined the effects of human disturbance on the population, and used this information to recommend minimal land-use restrictions that will help ensure the population's continued use of the site. Birds fed at the docks every night, but on 75% of days, the flock flew to suburban or rural refuges in response to disturbance. The common causes of disturbance, particularly pedestrians, did not affect the duck greatly, but disturbances associated with building and redevelopment of the site (e.g., machinery) often made duck evacuate the dock. While birds were no less likely to evacuate the docks as the winter progressed, they did show some short-term flexibility in their responses to disturbance. For example, birds appeared able to sit out disturbances throughout the afternoon if they had avoided evacuation of the docks during the morning. Birds spent only a small proportion of time feeding, and feeding activity was not heightened following periods of exclusion from the docks due to disturbance. Daytime feeding activity was elevated during periods of lowering temperatures, and despite heavy disturbance at the site, the impact of disturbance may only be significant during the coldest period of the winter. During very cold spells, it is important to limit the incidence of unusual disturbances, such as evening concerts and waterborne activities which tend to make duck evacuate the site.

A formal model for consensus and negotiation in environmental management

Environmental management decisions typically lie at the interface of science and public policy. Consequently, these decisions involve a number of stakeholders with competing agendas and vested interests in the ultimate decision. In such cases, it is appropriate to adopt formal methods for consensus building to ensure transparent and repeatable decisions. In this paper, we use an environmental management case study to demonstrate the utility of a mathematical consensus convergence model in aggregating values (or weights) across groups. Consensus models are applicable when all parties agree to negotiate in order to resolve conflict. The advantage of this method is that it does not require that all members of the group reach agreement, often an impossible task in group decision making. Instead, it uses philosophical foundations in consensus building to aggregate group members' values in a way that guarantees convergence towards a single consensual value that summarizes the group position. We highlight current problems with ad hoc consensus and negotiation methods, provide justification for the adoption of formal consensus convergence models and compare the consensus convergence model with currently used methods for aggregating values across a group in a decision making context. The model provides a simple and transparent decision support tool for group decision making that is straightforward to implement.     

Spatial variations in selected metal contents and particle size distribution in an urban and rural atmosphere of Islamabad, Pakistan

Spatial variations in total suspended particulate matter (TSP) were investigated for distribution of metals and particle size fractions in the urban and rural atmosphere of Islamabad, Pakistan. The metals Na, K, Fe, Mn, Pb, Cd, Cr, Zn, Ni and Co, and the particle fractions <2.5, 2.5-10, 10-100 and >100 microm were included in the study. TSP samples were trapped on glass fibre filters using high volume samplers and quantification of metals was done using Atomic Absorption Spectrometry employing HNO(3) based wet digestion. At the urban site, Na was dominant at 2.384 microg/m(3) followed by K, Fe and Zn with 0.778, 0.667 and 0.567 microg/m(3) as mean concentrations, respectively. The metal levels for the rural site ranged from 0.002 microg/m(3) for Cd to 1.077 microg/m(3) for Na. However, compared with the urban site, mean Pb concentration showed an almost two-fold enhancement, i.e., 0.163 Vs. 0.327 microg/m(3). Metals and particle size source identification was done using Principal Component Analysis and Cluster Analysis. Five sources were traced out for the urban site: industrial, soil, automobile emissions, metallurgical industries and excavation activities. For the rural site, four sources were recorded: agricultural, automotive emissions, excavation activities and metallurgical units. Collectively, for both the sites, PM(10-100) emerged as a major contributor to TSP, followed by PM(2.5-10), PM(<2.5) and PM(>100) in that order. The metals showed in general positive relationship with fine particulate fractions (PM(2.5-10), PM(<2.5)), and negative correlation with coarse fractions (PM(10-100), PM(>100)). Comparison with the corresponding data from various Asian sites revealed that the levels of Na, K, Fe, Mn, Co and Ni for the present study were lower than those reported for grossly polluted cities of the world.     

Evaluating the Environmental Performance of Urban Parks in Mediterranean Cities: An Example from the Barcelona Metropolitan Region

In a context of increasing urban sprawl and water scarcity common to other Mediterranean cities, this article focuses on the urban parks in the Region of Barcelona (Catalonia, Spain) to examine how these parks are distributed in this region and to assess whether their design and management follow criteria adapted to Mediterranean environmental conditions, especially in what concerns water use. In order to evaluate the environmental performance of these parks, we selected four factors possibly influencing the adoption of park management practices at the local scale: urban density, population size of the municipality, municipal income per capita, and political orientation of the city council. After determining the location and area of urban parks in the region, we correlated these four explanatory factors with several management tasks extracted from two different samples of parks (one of 315 parks and another of 125 parks) and a survey of 86 city councils. Results show that, in general, urban parks were more frequent in large, dense, and left/green municipalities but that environmentally sound practices were more common in small and low-density municipalities. We conclude that changes in certain practices (especially the substitution of high water demanding species) could improve significantly the environmental performance of public spaces in large urban areas with Mediterranean climates. Our observations may be pertinent for other cities interested in the provision of environmental public goods such as parks that necessitate water for irrigation.     

外加碳源水淹条件下高硫土壤中铜的迁移转化

采用高硫低有机质酸性重金属污染土壤,通过研究外加碳源水淹条件下各层土壤中酸可挥发性硫化物(AVS)的产生以及各剖面层中Cu的总量分布、Cu在孔隙水中的浓度及存在形态的变化情况,探讨了水淹土壤中的AVS对Cu迁移转化的影响.结果表明,外加碳源水淹条件下,硫酸根被还原,产生的大量AVS可促使水相中游离活性Cu向惰性较高的硫化物结合态和残渣态转化而被固定;不同深度土壤中AVS产生情况不同,其含量由深层向浅层递增,并在顶层大量聚集,由此导致孔隙水中的Cu²⁺浓度由土壤深层向浅层递减,这种垂直浓度梯度差,趋动活性态Cu由深层向浅层的垂直迁移,在AVS大量富集的表层中形成丰富的铜硫化物沉淀,使土壤表层中惰性态铜及总量累积增加,底层活性铜及总量下降,从而使铜的生态风险和生物风险降低.     

Particulate matter bio-monitoring through magnetic properties of an Indo-Burma hotspot region

Present study aimed to investigate the bio-monitoring study of particulate matter (PM) pollutants of 12 roadside plant species, in Aizawl, Mizoram, India (an Indo-Burma hot spot region). While, the second part was ascribed to the bio-magnetic monitoring stidies. Pertaining to first part of study, highest dust deposition was noted for Ramrikawn (RKN-Med) site on Ficus bengalensis (1.2?mg?cm^?2) and lowest in Bauhinia variegate (0.8?mg?cm^?2). Further, increased concentration of heavy metals (Fe, Cu and Zn) was recorded at RKN-Med site. Roadside plant leaves of F. bengalensis recorded maximum accumulation of Fe (26.1?mg?kg^?1) and Cu (19.5?mg?kg^?1) while Cassia auriculata (12.1?mg?kg^?1) showed lowest accumulation of Fe. B. variegate (1.88?mg?kg^?1) recorded lowest accumulation of Cu. Zn was recorded maximum (48.2?mg?kg^?1) in Mangifera indica while B. variegate showed lowest accumulation of 11.3?mg?kg^?1 Cu at Ramrikawn site. In relation to second part of the study, M. indica, Ficus benghalensis, Psidium guajava and Artocarpus heterophyllus were found to be efficient in bio-magnetic monitoring because all the magnetic properties (magnetic susceptibility, anhysteretic remanent magnetisation and isothermal remanent magnetisation) were high and significantly correlated with ambient PM (R²?=?0.424 to R²?=?0.998) thus may act as proxy for ambient PM.

Illinois State Water Survey Bulletin 75: New Precipitation Frequency Study for Illinois

Storm frequency estimates and their temporal distributions are important in determining estimates of runoff or peak flow rates in many engineering and hydrological problems. Illinois State Water Survey Bulletin 70 has been serving as the design rainfall standard in Illinois since its publication in 1989. Although Bulletin 70 represented the best available data at the time of its publication, the standards needed to be reevaluated and updated after more than three decades and with the growing evidence of the nonstationary nature of heavy precipitation. The trends in heavy precipitation in Illinois prompted the creation of a new frequency study named Bulletin 75, providing precipitation frequencies for event durations ranging from 5 min to 10 days and for recurrence intervals ranging from 2 months to 500 years. The results are presented for the same 10 geographic sections in Illinois as in Bulletin 70 to maintain the continuity of hydrologic studies and compatibility with regulations. The primary goal of this paper is to outline some of the key methodological issues and challenges, to compare the results with the previous sources, and to highlight the effects of the changing precipitation standards on the development of amendments to existing ordinances. Lake County in Illinois, as one of the most affected urban areas with the highest change in heavy precipitation, was selected to illustrate issues related to the application of modified precipitation standards.
