中国将设立国有土地收益基金

据透露．2005年政府将要设立国有土地收益基金。近年来．由于许多地方政府，片面追求政绩工程，到处圈地占地以地生财，把70年的土地收益用于本届政府土地开发和城市建设，导致许多中等城市，特别是东部城市现在已经没有地可卖．这样直接影响到了下届政府的土地收益，为此国家准备从今年开始设立国有土地建设资金，也就是将卖地收益纳入基金，为以后政府的使用做准备。     

生肖鸡的传说

鸡，在十二生肖中排行第十。因每天下午5～7点(即酉时)日落时鸡便归窝夜宿，故鸡的十二地支配属为“酉”。     

Silicon limitation on primary production and its destiny in Jiaozhou Bay, China——Ⅳ：Study on cross-bay transect from estuary to ocean

The authors analyzed the data collected in the Ecological Station Jiaozhou Bay from May 1991 to November 1994, including 12 seasonal investigations, to determine the characteristics, dynamic cycles and variation trends of the silicate in the bay. The results indicated that the rivers around Jiaozhou Bay provided abundant supply of silicate to the bay. The silicate concentration there depended on river flow variation. The horizontal variation of silicate concentration on the transect showed that the silicate concentration decreased with distance from shorelines. The vertical variation of it showed that silicate sank and deposited on the sea bottom by phytoplankton uptake and death, and zooplankton excretion. In this way, silicon would endlessly be transferred from terrestrial sources to the sea bottom. The silicon took up by phytoplankton and by other biogeochemical processes led to insufficient silicon supply for phytoplankton growth. In this paper, a 2D dynamic model of river flow versus silicate concentration was established by which silicate concentrations of 0.028–0.062 μmol/L in seawater was yielded by inputting certain seasonal unit river flows (m³/s), or in other words, the silicate supply rate; and when the unit river flow was set to zero, meaning no river input, the silicate concentrations were between 0.05–0.69 μmol/L in the bay. In terms of the silicate supply rate, Jiaozhou Bay was divided into three parts. The division shows a given river flow could generate several different silicon levels in corresponding regions, so as to the silicon-limitation levels to the phytoplankton in these regions. Another dynamic model of river flow versus primary production was set up by which the phytoplankton primary production of 5.21–15.55 (mgC/m²·d)/(m³/s) were obtained in our case at unit river flow values via silicate concentration or primary production conversion rate. Similarly, the values of primary production of 121.98–195.33 (mgC/m²·d) were achieved at zero unit river flow condition. A primary production conversion rate reflects the sensitivity to silicon depletion so as to different phytoplankton primary production and silicon requirements by different phytoplankton assemblages in different marine areas. In addition, the authors differentiated two equations (Eqs. 1 and 2) in the models to obtain the river flow variation that determines the silicate concentration variation, and in turn, the variation of primary production. These results proved further that nutrient silicon is a limiting factor for phytoplankton growth. This study was funded by NSFC (No. 40036010), and the Director's Fund of the Beihai Sea Monitoring Center, the State Oceanic Administration.     

我国西北高原盆地全新世沉积与环境变迁

本文通过对我国西北高原、盆地全新世黄土、古土壤、风沙层,冰缘层、冰碛层、盐(?)沉积、人类聚落位置迁移,植被演变等系统分析,论证了全新世气候和环境变化规律。认为(?)新世包含六个气候变化阶段,构成了三个冷干——暖湿气候旋回,每一旋回的周期大约为3600或3700年。

京都议定书带来商机 国际争购中国减排额

日前,旨在减缓全球气候变化的《京都议定书》正式生效一年,随着议定书中核心内容清洁机制在中国市场的建立,外国投资者纷纷来到中国购买“减排额”。据有关方面人士估计,未来全球一半的清洁发展机制市场将在中国。据国际非盈利环保组织绿色和平介绍,目前全球碳市场已经形成,二氧化碳排放成为一种新的商品在国际资本市场流通,各
