Spatial fit between water quality policies and hydrologic ecosystem services in an urbanizing agricultural landscape

Context

Sustaining hydrologic ecosystem services is critical for human wellbeing but challenged by land use for agriculture and urban development. Water policy and management strive to safeguard hydrologic services, yet implementation is often fragmented. Understanding the spatial fit between water polices and hydrologic services is needed to assess the spatial targeting of policy portfolios at landscape scales.

Objectives

We investigated spatial fit between 30 different public water policies and four hydrologic services (surface and groundwater quality, freshwater supply, and flood regulation) in the Yahara Watershed (Wisconsin, USA)—a Midwestern landscape that typifies tensions between agriculture, urban development, and freshwater resources.

Methods

Spatial extent of water policy implementation was mapped, and indicators of hydrologic services were quantified for subwatersheds using empirical estimates and validated spatial models.

Results

We found a spatial misfit between the overall spatial implementation of water policy and regions of water quality concern, indicating a need for better targeting. Water quality policies can also be leveraged to protect other hydrologic services such as freshwater supply and flood regulation. Individual policy application areas varied substantially in their spatial congruence with each hydrologic service, indicating that not all services are protected by a single policy and highlighting the need for a broad spectrum of policies to sustain hydrologic services in diverse landscapes. We also identified where future policies could be targeted for improving hydrologic services.

Conclusions

Joint spatial analysis of policies and ecosystem services is effective for assessing spatial aspects of institutional fit, and provides a foundation for guiding future policy efforts.

     

西卡柱花草传粉受精过程花朵形态变化的研究

对西卡柱花草传粉受精过程花朵形态变化的研究结果表明,凌蛄３～６时,多数花蕾进行自花授粉,６～７时,花蕾完成自花授粉过程,此时萼管与花冠长度几乎相等。上竿８：３０～９：３０,小花开放但龙骨瓣仍闭合时,花粉粒在柱头上萌发。开共经骨瓣松开,露出雌雄蕊,花粉管穿过花柱道、子房内壁进入胚珠。花后６小时左右,小花关闭,合子及初生胚乳核中出现雄性核仁。小花开放过程中的形态变化可作为传粉、花粉萌发、受精作用的形态     

不同产地河北杨苗期研究

对11个产地河北杨的苗期生长进行了研究。通过物候观察、扦插成活率、生长状况及抗性测定等多项指标的研究,结果表明,吴旗11号和西宁5号的种苗在生长量及抗性方面均优于其它产地种苗;皋兰2号种苗次之,但皋兰2号种苗对黑斑病和叶锈病的自然发病率又低于吴旗11号和西宁5号种苗。因此、在生产上应发展吴旗11号、西宁5号和皋兰2号产地的河北杨。

利用RAPD分析药用石斛的遗传多样性及亲缘关系

通过对9种药用石斛进行遗传多样性和亲缘关系的分析,为更好地开发利用石斛资源奠定基础。采用RAPD技术,应用NTSYS软件对9种石斛的RAPD-PCR结果进行分析。利用从103条随机引物中筛选出的70条随机引物对供试材料DNA进行随机扩增,共得到520条带,其中多态性带有491条,多态性百分率为94.42%。采用UPGMA类平均法对扩增出的谱带进行遗传聚类分析,得出反映各种间亲缘关系的树状图。在遗传距离（D）=0.44处,可将供试材料分为2类,RAPD对基因组的分析结果与传统分类学的结果差异不大。试验结果表明,RAPD技术可有效地应用于药用石斛的遗传多样性及亲缘关系的研究。
