The value of vegetation cover for ecosystem services in the suburban context

Latin-American cities can be characterized by dynamic processes of urbanization that encroach upon the natural and semi-natural surrounding landscapes. Our study presents the effects of landscape development, transformed from semi-natural conditions into a mostly disperse suburban settlement. We explore the impact that this transformation has had on this context by three ecosystem services that regulate rainwater runoff, enhance microclimate conditions and help to improve air quality by monitoring vegetation cover. We have designed a spatio-temporal hierarchical analysis which employs remote sensing techniques to capture the structural changes of this landscape over long, medium and short term scales on two spatial levels. This methodological approach was tested in the Metropolitan Area of Santiago (MAS) as case study area. Despite of the increase in impervious surfaces due to urban processes, there has also been an increase in vegetation cover, which has led to an improvement in the provision of the above-mentioned ecosystem services. Hence, if diverse urbanization processes continue and they are coupled with an increase in vegetation cover, the provision of ecosystem services could also expand. This phenomenon can be observed in some areas, where public and private green spaces are created and maintained. Our data analyses give evidence that certain types of suburban areas which increase the share of vegetation cover can provide daily ecological benefits for urban neighborhoods, and beyond, for adjacent areas. Moreover, suburban development can successfully provide ecological benefits to citizens. Such processes can only be ecologically sustainable if the composition of vegetation is well-adapted to the regional climatic conditions.     

河北沿海焦氏舌鳎资源现状分析

焦氏舌鳎过去利用价值较低,但随着渔业捕捞能力的增强,渔业资源衰退的问题日益突出,焦氏舌鳎的生态优势逐步显现。通过对河北省沿岸焦氏舌鳎近年资源状况进行研究,发现近两年其生态优势度有所提升,群体组成存在小型化、低龄化的特点,就此提出了渔业资源养护相关建议。

《青岛市新型职业农民培育管理办法》立法调研报告

为了促进和规范新型职业农民培育工作,提高农民科学文化素质和从业能力,加快培育新型职业农民和现代农业新型经营主体,青岛市农委将《青岛市新型职业农民培育管理办法》列入2013~2015年青岛市立法论证和调研计划。调研组于2013年3月至2016年3月,通过查阅文献资料、实地调研、问卷调查、召开座谈会等方式开展立法调研工作,认为《青岛市新型职业农民培育管理办法》政府规章的出台十分必要。     

农业供应链金融风险的主要特征与风险防范的基本原则

我国农业供应链突出表现为“集体化”、“现代化”和“生态化”，资金的安全性、流动性和信用程度都需要整体协同管控。交易成本和信息不对称决定了我国农业供应链以间接融资为主，其金融风险的特征主要表现为道德风险突出、整体风险难识别、可能引致区域系统性风险和行业系统性风险。因此，应当因地制宜确定农业供应链金融支持项目，并运用系统论原理控制农业供应链金融风险。

Influence of summer legume residue recycling and varietal diversification on productivity,energetics, and nutrient dynamics in basmati rice–wheat cropping system of western Indo-Gangetic Plains

A field experiment was conducted on summer mungbean residue recycling (SMBRR) and basmati rice–wheat cropping system (BRWCS) at New Delhi, India. The SMBRR enhanced the system productivity and net returns by ～19.1% and 22.1% compared to summer fallow (SF) with highest magnitude under genotypic sequence of P 2511/HD 2967. Two genotypes each in basmati rice (PB 1 and P 2511) and wheat (HD 2967 and HD 2733) responded well to SMBRR with respect to grain yield efficiency index (GYEI) ≥ 1.0. SMBRR also registered ～13.5% higher microbial biomass carbon (MBC) than SF. Soil organic carbon (SOC) storage also increased by ～6.8% in 0–30 cm soil layer. The rice–wheat–summer mungbean system produced significantly highest energy efficiency compared to the rice–wheat–summer fallow system with highest values under genotypic sequence of P 2511/HD 2967 as a result of better yield expression. Overall, SMBRR with suitable genotypic sequence improved the system productivity, profitability, and nutrient dynamics in BRWCS, which are vital for long-term sustainability of this system.     

传统灌溉条件下水肥滞留效益研究

研究了径流灌溉时不同作物样地对水肥的滞留效益。结果表明,4种作物对水肥的滞留效果呈现出相似性,在9 m之前滞留效益十分显著,9 m之后,滞留效益呈现出明显的下降趋势。在此基础上得出滞留率拟合方程,4种作物的拟合函数均为对数函数,该拟合函数可以将4种作物的滞留率数量化,并为相关研究提供借鉴。     

叶面喷施肥对丝棉木生理效应的影响

以3年生丝棉木植株为试材,采用完全随机区组设计,设1%尿素,1%尿素+1%磷酸二氢钾,1%尿素+1%磷酸二氢钾+0.5%微量元素(铁、锌、铜、锰)3个处理,进行叶面喷施,清水喷施作对照,测定SOD、POD和PPO酶活性。结果显示,不同处理对丝棉木SOD酶活性的影响非常明显,配施高于单施,以多元肥为最优;施肥对苗木各器官内POD酶的影响十分明显,不同时期、不同器官喷施N、P、K肥能增强提高苗木体内POD酶活性;施肥可提高苗木体内PPO酶活性,增强苗木抗性,尤其不能忽略多元素复合肥的作用。总之,3种不同处理与对照相比对植株酶活性的效应显著,多元复合肥能够提高和延长丝棉木叶的酶活性,且更有利于提高苗木的抗逆性,促进苗木成活。
