浅论生态补偿制度建立及原理

生态补偿是为防止生态资源配置扭曲，通过制度设计来修正发展平衡的问题。本文简要介绍了生态补偿的由来，分析了生态补偿的公共产品、外部效应和生态资本三大理论基础，回顾了中国生态补偿工作开展的情况，对建立生态补偿机制进出了一些建议。     

重点国有林区森林资源管理政策变革措施分析

重点国有林区天然林资源保护工程实施5年后,工程区内各级森林资源管理部门仍然沿用既往政策,已不适应新时期林业发展的趋势,更不利于森林资源的保护与利用。文中对尽快实施森林分类经营、规范林权流转、适度采伐人工商品林等森林资源管理政策提出了变革建议与对策。     

肉桂人工林土壤速效养分与酶活性的季节变化

研究了广西高峰林场林龄为3年和6年的肉桂人工林土壤速效养分(水解N、速效P、速效K)和土壤酶活性(过氧化氢酶、脲酶、酸性磷酸酶)的季节变化规律及其相互关系。结果表明：两种林地土壤速效养分含量和土壤酶话性均表现出明显的季节动态．：E壤速效N、P、K含量和L壤脲酶活性均以肉桂生长初期(3月中旬)最高．其次是第一个生长高峰期(6月中旬)或第二个生长高峰期(9月中旬)，最低是生长未期(12月中旬)；而土壤过氧化氢酶和酸性磷酸酶活性以第一个生长高峰期或第二个生长高峰期最高．其次是生长初期,最低是生长末期；士壤速效养分与土壤酶活性的季节变化密切相关。因此，生长初期至第一个生长高峰期是肉桂林地施用N、P、K肥的适当时期。     

从澳大利亚引进的两种相思植物光合速率和蒸腾效率的初步研究

以LCA-4光合蒸腾测定系统进行大腺相思和多花相思叶片气体交换过程的测定。结果如下：（1）净光合速率日变化明显，且变化趋势大体一致，即10：00-13：00具有较高的光合速率，其它测定时间相对较低。（2）两树种净光合速率存在差异。大腺相思高于多花相思，其最大值分别为19.6(10:00),16.1(13:00)μmolm^-2s^-1，日平均值分别为11.9,9.8μmolm^-2s^-1，反映了大腺相思的生长速度较多花相思快。（3）大腺相思和多花相思蒸腾速率日变化明显，正午前后较高，13：00达到最大，日平均值多花相思略高于大腺相思，分别为3.3,3.0mmolm^-2s^-1，表明在相同的环境条件下大腺相思的耗水量低于多花相思。（4）两树种蒸腾效率的日变化趋势大体上也类似，即在9：00-11：00较高，此期间大腺相思和多花相思和多花相思的平均值分别为5.51,4.21μmolCO2/mmolH2O。日平均值大腺厢思和多花相思分别为3.84,2.88μmolCO2/mmolH2O,表明消耗等量的水分大腺相思比多花相思能固定更多的CO2量，即有更高的水分利用效率。     

Long-term changes in forest floor processes in southern Appalachian forests

Soil nutrient concentrations decreased in an aggrading southern Appalachian forest over a 20-year period. Construction of nutrient budgets showed significant nutrient sequestration aboveground including increased forest floor mass. We hypothesized that the changes in forest floor mass resulted from decreased litter decomposition rates because of decreased litter quality. In 1992 and 1993, we repeated a litter decomposition experiment conducted in 1969 and 1970 to test this hypothesis. In addition, we examined microarthropod populations and functional groups as litter decomposed. For four of the five species tested, first-year decomposition rates were about the same in both experiments. Initial litter nutrient concentrations of P were lower in all tree species in the most recent sampling. N, Ca, and Mg concentrations also declined in some species. These declines often resulted in decreased nutrient release rates during decomposition. Microarthropod populations differed significantly among litter species, as well as between years (probably resulting from differences in growing-season rainfall). For some litter species we found significant relationships between microarthropod populations and nutrient concentration (primarily C and N); however, most r²-values were low. Data suggest that changes in forest floor mass probably resulted from decreased litter quality and that those changes may have an effect on microarthropod populations.

农业可持续发展是我国农业经济研究领域的热点之一.国内对农业可持续发展的研究主要集中于理论构架、模式、路径选择、支撑体系及区域农业等发展方面.推进农业可持续发展需要全面协调资源、环境、经济、社会各子系统,需要政府的职能转变和政策支持,根本出路在于技术创新和制度创新,同时指出今后研究的重点方向.     

农业机械化主要制约因素的制度创新研究

农业机械化是农业现代化建设的重要内容，其发展受很多因素的影响和制约。其中，耕地规模化经营是农机化发展的必要条件，资金投入是农机化发展的财政基础，农村剩余劳动力转移规模是农机化发展的客观前提。为此，在广泛研究国内外文献资料的基础上，提出了土地、资金和劳动力转移制度创新的建议和对策。     

Introduction of Irrigation Service Fee (ISF) in Indonesia: Institutional development in action for resources management

The inability to properly maintain irrigation systems over time forced the Government of Indonesia (GOI) to seek cost recovery from water users through introduction of an irrigation service fee. The plan is to introduce this fee in all of the technical irrigation systems of Indonesia, covering about 4 million hectares, over a 12 year period. Design and Introduction of this service fee in 4 pilot areas of the 4 major rice producing provinces (West, Central and East Java, and South Sulawesi) during 1989–1991 has shown that users are willing to pay. Results of first ISF collection from over 11,000 farmers in Central and East Java in pilot systems was an encouraging 95%. However that acceptance to pay by users depends on their structured and systematic involvement in defining systems needs. They need to understand a differentiation in payment if service levels are different. They appreciate use of collected funds in the system where collected. They understand the organization of water users associations but this requires their active role in fee determination and collection. They understand the establishment of federations of these associations. ISF requires also active involvement of Local Government officials as facilitators and intermediaries between service receivers (the water users) and service providers (personnel of the Public Works irrigation department) in the introduction period. This article describes the experience of the first 21 months of the ISF project, the concept developed, the principles used as basis for ISF, the introduction at the field level, issues related to acceptance by users and by the institutions involved, and the first results.Abbreviations/Acronyms DGWRD Directorate General of Water Resources Development (Ministry of Public Works) - EOM Efficient Operation and Maintenance - Gabungan group of WUAs - IPAIR Indonesian abbreviation for ISF - ISF Irrigation Service Fee - Juru gate keeper - PBB land tax on irrigated lands - PPL agricultural field extension agent - P3A Indonesian abbreviation for Water Users Associations - PU Indonesian abbreviation for Public Works - SM Special Maintenance - WUA Water Users Associations     

Agricultural practice changes with cultivating genetically modified herbicide-tolerant oilseed rape

To facilitate weed suppression, oilseed rape or canola (Brassica napus) has been genetically modified (GM) over the last two decades to incorporate herbicide tolerance (HT). The introduction of oilseed rape in commercial agriculture raises concerns about potential adverse agronomic and environmental effects linked to both the genetic modification and altered agricultural practice. How will this new crop modify the existing cropping practice? What are the potential agro-environmental implications of its introduction? This paper analyses and schematises recorded and conceivable agricultural practice changes with GMHT oilseed rape introduction and its likely agro-environmental effects. It develops a conceptual systematics of influencing factors, subsequent practice changes and likely agro-environmental effects. The results can be used to design the mandatory monitoring of adverse GM crop effects.     

Farmers' perception on self created water management rules in a pioneer scheme: The mula irrigation scheme, India

During the past two decades with farmer participation in irrigation management moving to center stage, the traditional view of having a centralized control over the water resources for better management has changed. Nevertheless, success of irrigation management transfer depend on a whole set of institutional arrangements or the rules-in-use and the willingness of the users to comply and enforce and/or change the rules in the light of changing circumstances. There are many institutional analyses of water sector, much of them touch on law, policy and administration, and characteristics of the users. The present paper is based on the study carried out to examine the institutional arrangements in one of the water users association that was first in the Maharashtra state. It focuses on the institutional arrangements governing water use and distribution and attempts to elicit the perceptions of the members regarding the rules-in-use. The findings reveal that the WUA has been successful in devising and enforcing the rules for water distribution, fee collection and conflict resolution for over a decade. However, current socio-economic developments such as political heterogeneity have required explicit conflict resolution mechanisms. These issues have now become issues demanding immediate attention and may be use of existing courts or legal institutions to help the WUA sustain in future.
