新疆艾比湖地区生态足迹与生态承载力研究

文章对艾比湖地区2003年的生态足迹进行了计算和分析。结果显示，2003年艾比湖地区的人均生态足迹为4．222hm^2，而实际生态承载力为3．193hm^2，人均生态赤字为1．029hm^2。表明艾比湖地区的发展模式处于一种不可持续的状态。从该区人均生态足迹的供给需求结构看，耕地、建筑用地、林地、化石燃料用地出现人均生态赤字，表明艾比湖地区经济发展处于初级阶段，主要以消耗当地土地和能源资源来满足人们最基本的生活需求。水域、草地虽出现人均生态盈余，但这并不意味着绝对生态供给丰富，主要与地方采取的改善生态环境质量措施等有关。     

珠江口红树群落钙的累积和循环研究

在测定珠江口红树群落生物量和生产力的基础上，进一步测定红树群落各组分的钙含量，计算群落钙的贮量、年存留量、年归还量、年吸收量、周转期和富集经，以了解珠江口红树群落钙元素的累积和循环状况。结果表明，珠江口5个红树群落钙的贮存总量为197－640．1kg/hm^2，平均为382．4kg/hm^2。年存留量为20．3－58．6kg/hm^2．a，平均为39．3kg/hm^2．a；年归还量为24．1－75．5kg/hm^2．a，平均为44．9kg/hm^2．a；年吸收量为44．4－134．1kg/hm^2．a，平均为84．2kg/hm^2．a；周转期为7－10a，平均8a；存留率为43．7％－52．7％，平均46．7％，归还率为47．3％－56．3％，平均53．3％。乔木型红权群群落有较高的存留率和较低的归还率。     

川西北高原若尔盖草地沙化及湿地萎缩动态遥感监测

应用卫星遥感资料(MSS、TM及spot)对川西北高原若尔盖草地沙化及湿地萎缩的动态监测发现，自1966年至2000年的34年间，草地沙化面积增加307．7％，达到36760．9hm^2，占区域总面积的7．25％，平均每年扩大草地沙化面积816．0hm^2，年均递增率达4．22％。到2000年止，区域内有沙地5083．9hm^2，沙化草地31677．0hm^2。自1985～2000年的15a间，区内17个湖泊面积缩小842．0hm^2，减幅达38．9％，平均每年减少56．1hm^2，年均递减速度达3．34％，该区目前其余11个湖泊总面积仅为1323．1hm^2，只有15年前的61．1％。     

栽培条件下甘草的甘草酸及多糖含量

通过对3年生相同人工栽培条件下的不同种甘草及2种不同栽培措施的乌拉尔甘草为分析样本,采用高效液相色谱和苯酚-硫酸比色法对其甘草酸及多糖含量进行测定,分析比较甘草酸与甘草多糖含量之间的相互关系,并筛选出乌拉尔甘草的最优栽培措施。结果表明：甘草酸含量顺序为乌拉尔甘草〉胀果甘草〉黄甘草〉光果甘草;多糖含量以光果甘草3．76％为最高,其余3个种间含量相差不大。正交试验的方差分析表明：（1）对于播种3年生乌拉尔甘草,以甘草酸含量为评价指标,最优栽培措施为：灌溉量4500m^3／hm^2、二铵0kg／hm^2、种子（对照）、尿素0 kg/hm^2、播种量90kg/hm^2;若以甘草多糖含量为获取目标,最优栽培措施为：灌溉量1500m^3／hm^2、二铵300kg/hm^2、种子（包衣,尿素0．5％浸泡24h）、尿素300kg／hm^2、播种量90kg/hm^2。（2）对于移栽3年生乌拉尔甘草,以甘草酸含量为评价指标,最优栽培措施为：灌溉量1500m^3／hm^2、移栽苗（对照）处理、二铵0 kg／hm^2、尿素0kg/hm^2、株距5cm;若以甘草多糖含量为评价指标,最优栽培措施为灌溉量3000m^3／hm^2、移栽苗（对照）处理、二铵150kg／hm^2、尿素300kg／hm^2、株距10cm。     

兰州大学(盘旋路校区)2003年生态足迹调查分析

人均消费产品的数量是计算区域人均生态足迹关键和基础的一步。通过实地问卷调查，运用自下而上法收集资料，计算小尺度生态足迹。兰州大学(盘旋路校区)2003年的生态足迹计算结果为：人均生态足迹0．892hm^2，男、女生的人均生态足迹分别为0．976hm^2和0．788hm^2。这些数据与全国或者西部的人均生态足迹相比明显偏低，但总生态足迹为4119．3hm^2，是校园面积的73．7倍。因此，应合理利用自然资源，减少学生的生态足迹，真正做到可持续发展。     

太原市2003年生态足迹的计算与分析

文章计算和分析了太原市2003年生态足迹：2003年该市生态足迹为5．621hm^2/人，可利用生态承载力为0．264hm^2／人，出现了5．357hm^2从的生态赤字，生态足迹是生态承栽力的21．3倍，总的生态赤字相当于自身面积的26倍；并把太原市城市生态系统的受压力程度和资源利用效率与已有的研究结果做了比较，表明该市资源利用效率较低，城市生态系统所受压力偏大；最后提出缓解城市生态压力的若干建议。     

生态足迹理论与资源节约型学校建设

以河南大学为例,把生态足迹成分法的基本原理和计算方法运用于资源节约型学校建设。结果表明：2006年河南大学总生态足迹为18081．1hm^2,生态效率为1．29人／hm^2,生态消耗强度为0．78hm^2／人;该校的生态足迹中,煤炭、食物、电力和垃圾的比重分别占总生态足迹的10．79％,56．01％,16．44％和11．49％,4种成分合计占94．73％。建议采取有效措施,降低校园生态足迹,提高校园生态效率,促进资源节约型学校建设。     

产量红线与耕地红线耦合研究北大核心CSCD

基于实际粮食产量与抛荒耕地种植粮食作物条件下粮食总产量关系的分析方法有助于促进耕地红线制度改进。依据全国粮食总产量、种植面积与耕地面积数据,构造2016-2033年粮食产量与耕地面积红线耦合的基本、法定、过渡、新型与理想耦合红线标准;分析阶段性耦合与可持续耦合两种升级路径。研究表明:2001-2015年,全国耕地面积与粮食产量耦合不足。据此,提出以新增建设用地指标与抛荒治理面积挂钩的政策建议;在抛荒比例11.12%的条件下,新增单位面积建设用地,治理28.85倍抛荒耕地;2017、2021、2025、2029、2033年分别实现有效利用1.200×10~8hm^2、1.243×10~8hm^2、1.279×10~8hm^2、1.314×10~8hm^2、1.349×10~8hm^2耕地,粮食总产量分别比基期增加4.838×10~6、2.4190×10~7、4.354 2×10~7、5.321 8×10~7、8.824 6×10~7t;红线耦合系数分别达到0.882 471、0.909 740、0.937 008、0.950 643与1;有效利用耕地增加12.5%,粮食总产量提升14.2%。     

生态足迹法在长沙县生态县建设中的应用

通过运用生态足迹计算方法,对长沙县2005年的生态足迹进行了计算,得出长沙县人均生态足迹是2.52hm^2/人,以及全县人均生态承载力为0.60 hm^2/人,从而可以看出全县人均生态赤字为1.92 hm^2/人,远远高于全国平均水平。全县生态赤字最多的是化石燃料土地,然后依次为耕地、水域、草地,这表明全县对自然环境的影响已经大大地超出了生态环境承载力,工业的飞速发展对化石燃料的消耗和耕地的占用的急剧增加是产生生态赤字的主要原因,同时人们生活水平的提高也对生态环境造成极大的压力。     

云南省2003年的生态足迹分析

实现区域的可持续发展，是目前研究的热点问题之一。以云南省2003年的统计数据为基础，运用生态足迹模型对云南省的生态-经济协调状况进行了计算分析，结果表明：云南省2003年的人均生态足迹为1．483hm^2，可直接利用的人均生态承载力为1．253hm^2，人均存在的生态赤字为0．23hm^2／人，这充分说明了当前的经济发展已超过了区域自身的承载能力。

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.
