The influence of land use change on karst water quality of Shuicheng Basin in Guizhou Province

The influence of land use and land cover on ecological environment is a focus of global change research. The paper chooses an industrial city-Shuicheng in Guizhou Province-as a study area because the karst water quality around the city is deteriorating with land use and land cover change. The natural susceptibility of karst water system is an important factor leading to karst water pollution. But land use and land cover change is also a main factor according to the chemical analysis of karst water quality and land use change. So it is a good way to protect karst water through rational planning and managing of land use and land cover.     

Deposition of trace substances via cloud interception on a coniferous forest at Kleiner Feldberg

A resistance model to calculate the deposition of cloud droplets on a coniferous forest and some improved parameterizations of the indispensable input parameters are described. The deposition model is adapted to the coniferous forest at the Kleiner Feldberg site and verified by the data of a drip water monitoring station below the forest canopy. The measurements of liqud water content, wind speed and trace substance compounds in cloud water of the Ground-based Cloud Experiment (GCE) at Kleiner Feldberg in 1990 are used to calculate the cloud water deposition fluxes and the deposition of trace substances via cloud water interception. The calculated deposition of trace substances via cloud water interceptions is three to six times higher than via rain during the experiment. On a long term data basis the yearly amount of cloud water deposition is 180 mm year^–1 at Kleiner Feldberg site (840 m a.s.l.) while the precipitation amount is 1030 mm year^–1. Due to higher trace substance concentrations in cloud water compared to rain the ionic deposition via cloud water interception and via precipitation were assessed to be of comparable magnitude.     

基于浮游有孔虫重建的南海北部400 ka以来上层水体结构变化及其对东亚季风的响应

现代南海上层水体结构具有鲜明的季节特征,反映了季节性风场通过动力与热力过程施加的强烈影响;这种风场对上层水体结构的调控同样存在于地质历史时期,借此,长时间尺度上的东亚季风强度变化能够在南海沉积中留下记录,对相关高分辨率样品的研究继而可以从海洋的角度发掘出新的季风信息,成为对现有古季风资料的重要补充。本研究利用南海北部岩芯总长为50.8 m的MD12-3432站位（19°16.88'N,116°14.52'E;水深2125 m）高分辨率沉积样品,通过浮游有孔虫属种组合及其转换函数恢复了400 ka以来冬、夏季海水表层温度及温跃层深度,并对其进行频谱分析,同时对比现代观测资料及黄土粒度等古季风记录,讨论了海表温度、温跃层深度变化与东亚季风强度、表层环流格局等因素的关系。结果表明,晚更新世以来南海北部海表温度具有显著的100 ka冰期-间冰期旋回,冬季海表温度降幅可达8℃,是冰期冬季风增强与表层环流变化的共同结果。此外,冬季海表温度与温跃层深度重建结果均具有明显的67 ka周期,可能代表了东亚冬季风风速在南海北部的变化周期。同时,温跃层深度中未出现100 ka周期,可能指示冰期-间冰期旋回中表层环流的变化对其影响较弱,温跃层的加深主要由东亚冬季风的增强造成。

     

Chinese public policy on fisheries subsidies: Reconciling trade,environmental and food security stakes

This article provides a historical account of Chinese public policy on fisheries subsidies, and a discussion of problems and limitations resulting from the World Trade Organization (WTO) Doha Round fisheries subsidies negotiation. By analyzing subsidization trends and applying a proportional assessment of subsidized areas, the article tracks the evolvement of Chinese fishery policy objective and priorities. Chinese fishery is not historically significantly subsidized in light of its relatively market-oriented structure and a sustained momentum in reducing marine capture capacity. However, due to the commitment to encouraging qualitative growth and to satisfying a rising domestic demand for fish, the government seeks for adequate policy space to employ fuel, distant water fisheries, infrastructure and various ‘green light’ subsidies. Whether or not such a claim can be accepted as a developmental right not an exception remains to be answered by the revision of current negotiation draft.     

腾格里沙漠地区水化学特征

水资源极为匮乏的腾格里沙漠区内所赋存的水主要有两种类型。一种是沙下潜水 ,主要是周边山区由高向低缓慢地向沙漠区运移所致 ,分布较为普遍 ;另一种是沙漠湖水 ,它是在沙漠区内之低洼地段 ,由于沙下潜水的长期溢出汇集于大小不等的长条状湖泊之中 ,以湖表水 (咸水和卤水 )的形式存在。沙下潜水矿化度在 0 .5～ 1 g/L之间 ,为本区的饮用水。湖表水咸苦 ,矿化度较高 ,就同一湖区而言 ,也有咸水和卤水之分 ,咸水矿化度为每升数十克 ,卤水则在 1 0 0～ 440 g/L之间 ,已达到了盐湖类沉积阶段

稳定碳同位素在湘中千佛洞上覆土壤-滴水-现代沉积物的迁移特征研究

通过对2021年1月~2022年10月期间,湘中千佛洞洞外大气-上覆土壤气-洞穴空气二氧化碳含量（pCO₂）及其碳同位素（δ¹³C_CO2）、8个洞穴水体（4个滴水、3个地下河水、1个池水）溶解无机碳同位素（δ¹³C_DIC）以及洞穴现代沉积物碳同位素（δ¹³C）的连续监测,初步获得了监测时段内千佛洞岩溶系统中δ¹³C在垂直方向上运移的变化特征,并得到以下3点主要认识：1）千佛洞上覆土壤气、洞穴空气pCO₂及δ¹³C_CO2表现出相似的季节变化特征,夏季pCO₂偏高,δ¹³C_CO2偏轻,冬季则相反。降水量和温度是土壤pCO₂及δ¹³C_CO2变化的主要影响因素;2）千佛洞洞穴水体δ¹³C_DIC值呈现显著的季节变化规律,夏季偏轻,冬季偏重,表明土壤pCO₂及δ¹³C_CO2对其影响较大,说明该洞洞穴水体δ¹³C_DIC可以较好地响应外界环境变化。此外,4个滴水点δ¹³C_DIC值在变幅和绝对值之间存在一定差异,这可能是受到不同滴水点的运移路径和滴水速率等因素的影响;3）千佛洞现代沉积物δ¹³C也表现出明显的季节变化特征,说明该洞现代沉积物δ¹³C可以较好地继承滴水中的δ¹³C_DIC信号。千佛洞的初步观测结果为利用该洞穴或者临近区域洞穴沉积物开展古气候重建提供了借鉴和参照。

RURAL DEVELOPMENT IN EL HATILLO, NICARAGUA: GENDER, NEOLIBERALISM AND ENVIRONMENTAL RISK

El Hatillo is a rural community in the Sébaco valley in Nicaragua, which suffers from an eroding resource base, high levels of poverty and malnutrition, and a high susceptibility to hazards. Structural adjustment policies have been devastating for small and subsistence farmers and have increased the level of economic, social and environmental marginalisation in rural Nicaragua. This paper explores initiatives to promote sustainable development in Nicaragua in the context of structural adjustment and environmental degradation. Drawing on qualitative research conducted in El Hatillo, it outlines the ways in which women in this community are attempting to address the multiple challenges of rural poverty and environmental risk and considers the potential of these strategies for gender equality.
