Characterizing historical and modern fire regimes in Michigan (USA): A landscape ecosystem approach

We studied the relationships of landscape ecosystems to historical and contemporary fire regimes across 4.3 million hectares in northern lower Michigan (USA). Changes in fire regimes were documented by comparing historical fire rotations in different landscape ecosystems to those occurring between 1985 and 2000. Previously published data and a synthesis of the literature were used to identify six forest-replacement fire regime categories with fire rotations ranging from very short (<100 years) to very long (>1,000 years). We derived spatially-explicit estimates of the susceptibility of landscape ecosystems to fire disturbance using Landtype Association maps as initial units of investigation. Each Landtype Association polygon was assigned to a fire regime category based on associations of ecological factors known to influence fire regimes. Spatial statistics were used to interpolate fire points recorded by the General Land Office. Historical fire rotations were determined by calculating the area burned for each category of fire regime and dividing this area by fifteen (years) to estimate area burned per annum. Modern fire rotations were estimated using data on fire location and size obtained from federal and state agencies. Landtype Associations networked into fire regime categories exhibited differences in both historical and modern fire rotations. Historical rotations varied by 23-fold across all fire rotation categories, and modern forest fire rotations by 13-fold. Modern fire rotations were an order of magnitude longer than historical rotations. The magnitude of these changes has important implications for forest health and understanding of ecological processes in most of the fire rotation categories that we identified.This revised version was published online in May 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Challenges in developing and implementing a decision support systems (ETÇAP) in forest management planning: a case study in Honaz and Ibradı, Turkey

Decision support systems (DSSs) are indispensable tools in preparing a forest management plan for a better combination of multiple forest values. This study attempted to develop and explain a stand-based forest management DSS (Ecosystem-based multiple-use forest planning [ETÇAP]) comprising a traditional simulation, linear programming (LP), metaheuristics and geographic information system. The model consists of five submodels; traditional management approach to handle inventory data, an empirical growth and yield model, a simulation to conceptualize management actions, a LP technique to optimize resource allocation and a simulated annealing approach to directly create a spatially feasible harvest schedule. The ETÇAP model has been implemented in a comparative two case study areas; Denizli–Honaz and Akseki–Ibrad?. Both simulation and optimization models outperformed to the traditional management plan. The periodical change of growing stock, allowable cuts, carbon sequestration and water production are used as performance indicators. The results showed that more amount of wood could be harvested over time compared to traditional level of harvesting. It could be concluded that various management strategies allowed managers to stimulate more decision options for better outputs through intertemporal trade-offs of management interventions as the model provided tools to quantify forest dynamics over time and space. Challenges exist to establish the functional relationships between forest structure and values for better quantification and integration into the management plans.     

广东惠州生猪养殖现状调查及分析

惠州地处广东省珠江三角洲,近10多年城市化进程速度加快,城市人口增长迅速,随着人们生活水平不断提高,猪肉消费急速上升.同时,惠州也是广东省猪场最为集中的地区,是广东重要的肉猪、种猪生产基地.惠州地区规模生猪养殖发展之路更是广东省生猪养殖的一个缩影和风向标.通过深入基层调查,走访养殖户、屠宰场、大型养殖企业等,通过座谈交流、问卷调查和查阅生产记录的方式,对惠州不同规模生猪养殖发展现状及面临的主要问题进行了调查和分析.通过分析发现,中等规模的生猪养殖场（存栏500-2 999头）具有生产效益明显、环境容量合适、调整生产快、抗风险高和适合精细饲养等特点,比较适合目前惠州的生猪养殖发展.针对惠州面临的产业结构调整、划定动物禁养区等现实问题,本文提出应结合人文发展,完善行业标准,大力发展现代都市养殖模式-绿色生态园区的建议.

生态停车场结构改良研究

为有效解决生态停车场交付使用后一段时间就出现草皮空秃严重的问题,该研究系统地对生态停车场结构中的3类面层材料、5类结合层材料、5类基层材料作了对比。结果表明:当停车场结构的基础为素土夯实,基层采用150 mm厚三七灰土加100 mm厚C15素混凝土,结合层采用30 mm厚1∶3水泥砂浆时,面层采用200~300 mm厚自然石既能有效控制草皮空秃问题,停车场的结构稳定性也较好;当停车场结构的基础为素土夯实,第1基层采用150 mm厚三七灰土,第2基层材料改用200 mm厚级配砂石,结合层材料改用50mm厚1∶3泥砂混合时,面层材料采用60 mm厚嵌草砖或70 mm厚植草格的综合效果良好。     

四川新津白鹤滩国家湿地公园核心区植物景观配置研究

四川新津白鹤滩国家湿地公园位于成都市新津县境内,是典型的河流漫滩和沙洲地貌。受亚热带湿润气候影响,湿地公园核心区拥有种类丰富的湿地动植物资源,但近几年人们在场地周边的开发活动,对基地原有植物生态环境造成破坏_^[1]。现在核心区仅存那些对水质要求低和抗逆性强的植物,同时也因为植物种类过于单一,随之而来的就是湿地季节性功能失调现象,如对水质净化的能力差,水体富营养化严重。为缓解和改善湿地核心区现存问题,一个具有生态修复功能的植物景观配置就显得尤为重要,本论文主要以生态恢复学、植被演替理论等为理论支撑,借鉴LID技术在湿地生态修复的应用,结合对基地本身植物资源调查的基础,通过对不同植物的配置选择,构建起了多样的新旧植物景观模式,用以探索科学合理的湿地公园植物景观配置模式,以期恢复新津湿地公园植被生态多样性,提升视觉景观效果。
