福建中高海拔丘陵山地农业气候资源评价及其利用—以漳平市永福镇为例

本文以漳平市永福镇为例,分析了福建中高海拔地区农业气候资源的特点,认为该区发展农业生产的最大优势,恰是长期以来被人们视为劣势的高海拔低气温;并结合农业生产实践,进一步提出了在农业生产中合理利用气候资源、化劣势为优势的途径。

基于资源环境承载力的农业生产空间评价与布局优化——以福建省为例

基于资源环境承载力的农业生产空间评价是新时期国土空间规划中农业空间优化调整的前提,是科学划定农业空间和永久基本农田的必要依据,对保障国家粮食安全和生态安全具有重要意义。构建基于资源环境承载力的农业生产空间评价指标体系,提出资源环境承载力集成方法和农业生产适宜性评价模型,并以福建省为案例开展应用研究。研究表明：农业生产功能指向的资源环境承载力评价包括土地资源类、水资源类、环境类、自然灾害类4种属性的自然要素,依次采用耕种条件、供水条件、环境条件、气象灾害危险性等指标刻画;农业生产适宜性则在承载力分级结果基础上,纳入空间形态类、区位条件类、生产条件类指标,建立适宜性评价模型进行评价;福建省资源环境承载力的高、较高、中等、较低以及低等级比重依次为29.86%、16.27%、12.04%、18.91%和22.91%,高和较高等级区分布于滨海平原、台地及低丘缓坡以及内陆地区的河谷、盆地及山间缓坡区域,全省农业生产适宜区、一般适宜区和不适宜区的比重依次为36.36%、26.76%和36.88%,适宜区具备从事农业生产活动的资源环境综合条件、且田块完整性和耕种便利性优良。案例应用表明,基于资源环境承载力的农业生产空间评价流程可操作性强,可满足农业空间备选区试划需求,已在国土空间规划“双评价”中得到应用;根据承载力与适宜性的“双评价”结果,可按照保留型、整治型和退出型,分类实施农业生产空间优化与整治。     

广东农业气候带划分与合理开发利用

本文论述了广东农业气候带的划分依据，根据各地带的农业气候特点，提出发展区域化农业生产的建议。     

把大柳树灌区建成西北甚至全国粮食基地的建议值得商榷

拟建大柳树灌区所涉及的省区, 过去以牺牲生态为代价达到粮食自给或自给有余, 然而由于特定的自然条件, 单产低, 粮食生产对全国粮食生产安全贡献率不高, 农业效益低, 农牧民生活不富裕。作者从该区农业气候资源、水资源等特点, 生态环境保护与建设要求以及借"南水北调"引水灌溉的高投入、低产出、高耗资源等状况分析, 揭示了拟建大柳树灌区作为西北甚至全国粮食基地不仅不可能, 而且没有必要。     

基于GIS的甘肃省农业生产潜力研究

在气象数据库、属性数据库和GIS支持下,采用机制法对作物生产潜力模型进行了光、温、水、土逐级订正,得到了甘肃省的光合、光温、降水、水资源及土地的生产潜力,其结果很好的反映了甘肃省农业生产和农业资源分布的空间格局,各级订正的有效系数进一步揭示了各种资源因子对农业生产的限制程度。

Deserts and Aeolian Desertification in China: Book review and some thoughts

Desertification is a global phenomenon that affects about two billion people. It occurs in arid zones where the annual precipitation is below 400 mm, partic- ularly in the marginal areas of the world＇s largest deserts. It is a result of water and wind erosion, over- grazing, global warm-ing, improper soil cultivation, and increased pressure ot population growth, and it causes degradation of soil and natural and agricultural vegetation. The direct result is less food for people and livestock, which influences pop- ulation and animal husbandry fluctuations. Despite ef- forts to combat and reduce desertification, the affected areas are annually increasing.
