河北迁西县山区生态环境脆弱性分区初探

山区生态环境脆弱性划分可指导人类活动的方式和强度，对山区生态保护和资源合理利用具有重要意义。本文以河北省迁西县山区为例，论述了选取山区生态环境脆弱性影响因子的主要原则，探讨了脆弱性影响因子的分级与赋值量化，应用灰色关联度分析确定影响因子的权重。经过综合评判，把迁西县山区生态环境脆弱性分为强度脆弱和中度脆弱，再进一步细分为强2脆弱、强3脆弱、中1脆弱、中2脆弱和中3脆弱，并进行了脆弱区划分。针对各脆弱区的特点，文章提出了相应的资源利用和责无环境保护对策。     

南水北调河北省受水区近50年生态环境演变研究

选取人类活动对河北省生态环境影响最剧烈的1950s—2000s初期,从气候、水环境、土壤及环境地质、土地利用/覆盖、社会经济等角度,分析河北省中南部平原,即南水北调河北受水区的生态环境演变状况,为研究南水北调工程实施对生态环境变化的影响及河北省生态省建设提供科学依据。     

中国东北样带生态环境区划研究

从国内外生态区划、生态土地分类和生态-生产范式的研究和发展入手,从生态利用的角度出发,以生态要素区划为基础,依据自然生态因子(如:气候、地形地貌、植被、土壤)和人类活动(如:土地利用)的特点,运用经验判别法和RS与GIS技术进行生态环境综合区划,将中国东北样带分为5个生态环境区,命名方式采用地理位置+地貌类型+干湿状况+土地利用组合状况。即:长白山中低山湿润针阔混交林生态环境区、牡丹江-辽源低山丘陵湿润农林交错生态环境区、大青山-大黑山山前台地湿润半湿润农业生态环境区、松嫩平原半湿润半干旱农牧交错生态环境区、内蒙古高原东部草原干旱半干旱牧业生态环境区。

基于熵权法的南水北调西线工程区生态环境综合评价

在遥感和地理信息系统软件支持下,提取并分析了参与研究区生态环境质量综合评价的6个参评因子:海拔高程、土地覆盖类型、植被指数、植被净初级生产力、年均温度、年降水量诸自然环境因子的现状。通过熵权法确定6个参评因子的权重值,建立研究区自然生态环境质量综合指标评价模型,并利用该模型对南水北调西线一期工程区的自然环境进行定量分析。     

河北省沿海地区水资源开发及其对环境的影响

论述河北省沿海地区水资源供需矛盾突出,水资源开发利用对地表水质、地下水位、入海的水量和生态环境的影响,提出合理开发利用水资源的若干建议。     

高质量发展下的生态城市评价 ——以长江三角洲城市群为例

以长江三角洲城市群为案例区,运用熵值-TOPSIS模型评价城市生态化水平的变化及差异,运用障碍度模型探究影响城市生态化水平的主要障碍因子。结果表明:长三角城市群生态化水平在稳步提升,城市间生态化水平差异显著并呈扩大趋势;长三角城市群生态化水平在空间上呈现“中心-外围”结构,城市生态化水平与城市规模等级成正比,直辖市、省会城市和经济强市生态化水平要显著优于其他城市;城市在经济、生态环境和社会3个层面指标上的评价得分具有不平衡性,各城市优劣势有所差异,并且经济和社会层面的生态化水平差异大于生态环境层面的差异;对大多数城市而言,经济层面及基础设施、公共服务要素是主要障碍因子。未来生态城市建设应立足城市自身发展状况,因地制宜地提升城市生态化水平,建设高质量生态城市。

黄河三角洲“三生”用地转型的生态环境效应及其空间分异机制

“三生”用地转型的生态环境效应及其空间分异特征是指导区域国土空间开发与生态环境保护的重要依据。基于1998年、2008年和2018年3期土地利用遥感解译数据,构建黄河三角洲“三生”用地分类体系,通过土地利用转型图谱、生态环境质量指数、重心转移和地理探测器等方法定量分析研究区“三生”用地转型特征、生态环境效应及其空间分异性的主要影响因子。结果表明：① 1998—2018年黄河三角洲“三生”用地转型表现为生产用地占比大幅增加（+13.50%）,生态用地占比大幅减少（?17.19%）,生活用地占比小幅增长（+3.69%）。1998—2008年,“三生”用地转型以生态用地向生产用地转型为主。2008—2018年,无绝对优势转型类型,转型过程复杂化。② 1998—2018年,黄河三角洲生态环境质量整体向好,指数由0.390升至0.395,较高质量区与高质量区占主体地位。研究区中部及黄河入海口区域生态环境质量不断提升,东南及东北沿海地区生态环境质量有所降低。③ 植被覆盖度、微地貌类型、土壤类型是研究区生态环境质量空间分异的主导因子。区位因子与社会经济因子对生态环境质量空间分异的贡献率随生态环境质量的提升而降低,生态保护因子对生态环境质量空间分异的贡献率呈上升趋势。

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.

THE MOST PERFECT EXAMPLE OF AN ALIEN ECOLOGY EVER CONSTRUCTED

Much science-fiction literature is based upon the creation and exploration of alternative environments. Stanley G. Weinbaum's short story, “Parasite Planet,”introduces an unusual environment that may be wrong in the light of recent evidence on Venus but still stimulates the geographical imagination.     

Metals and models: Diagenic modelling in freshwater lacustrine sediments

This review aims to distill and synthesize the existing information on the use of models to describe and predict the distribution and movement of metals in lacustrine sediments. As such it examines the causes of metal diagenesis, the origin and form of the equations that govern these phenomena, and the predictability or measurability of the parameters that appear in the models. The paper concludes by highlighting some seminal results from modelling studies, including the determination of the factors controlling the formation of surficial Mn-Fe-enriched zone or layers, the substantial contribution possible from metal reduction to organic matter regeneration, the calculation of mixing-corrected metal input histories to lakes, and the prediction of growth rates and morphologies for both deep-sea and lacustrine ferromanganese nodules.     

Guidelines to Authors

正1.Aims and scope Sciences in Cold and Arid Regions(SCAR)is a bimonthly journal that publishes in English the latest research achievements in processes and the patterns of the Earth surface system in cold and arid regions.Researches in cold regions emphasize particularly on the cold-region-characterized physical,chemical and biological processes and their interactions,and on the response of cryosphere to global change and human activities as well as their effects on environment and the acclimatizable strategies;focus on the objects of glacier,snow,river,lake,sea ice,permafrost and seasonal frozen ground,and periglacial geomorphology,etc.;and think much of cold regions
