Abstract: | Over the past several decades, no less remarkable than the fast economic advance has been the pollution of water, air and
soil all over China. The degradation of environment provides challenge as well as opportunity to the native scientists. Benefited
from their regional-scaled views and unique tools of study, Chinese environmental geographers distinguish themselves from
other environment-related scientists by combining geographical methodology with means of chemistry and biology and by emphasizing
region-based processes of pollutants and scaling issues. Additionally, they are benefited from the basic trainings in the
branches of physical geography, such as soil geography, hydrology and climatology for a better understanding in behavior of
pollutants in nature. |
