This paper presents a new accounting mechanism in the context of the UNFCCC issue on reducing emissions from deforestation in developing countries, including technical options for determining baselines of forest conversions. This proposal builds on the recent scientific achievements related to the estimation of tropical deforestation rates and to the assessment of ‘intact’ forest areas. The distinction between ‘intact’ and ‘non intact’ forests used here arises from experience with satellite-based deforestation measurements and allows accounting for carbon losses from forest degradation. The proposed accounting system would use forest area conversion rates as input data. An optimal technical solution to set baselines would be to use historical average figures during the time period from 1990 to 2005. The system introduces two different schemes to account for preserved carbon: one for countries with high forest conversion rates where the desired outcome would be a reduction in their rates, and another for countries with low rates. A ‘global’ baseline rate would be used to discriminate between these two country categories (high and low rates). For the hypothetical accounting period 2013–2017 and considering 72% of the total tropical forest domain for which data are available, the scenario of a 10% reduction of the high rates and of the preservation of low rates would result in approximately 1.6 billion tCO₂ of avoided emissions. The resulting benefits of this reduction would be shared between those high-rate countries which reduced deforestation and those low-rate countries which did not increase their deforestation over an agreed threshold (e.g., half of “global” baseline rate).  相似文献

Eva Maria Walitzi 《Mineralogy and Petrology》1965,10(1-4):241-255

Zusammenfassung Denningit, (Mn, Ca, Zn) Te₂O₅ ist tetragonal mit der Raumgruppe P 4₂/n bc und den Gitterkonstanten a=8,82, c=13,04; Z=8. Die Struktur wurde mit Patterson-, Fourier- und (F_o-F_c)-Projektionen parallel [100], [110] und [001] bestimmt und verfeinert. Abschließend konnte eine least-squares-Verfeinerung durchgeführt werden. Je zwei trigonale TeO₃-Pyramiden (Te–O=1,84–2,04 ) sind zu isolierten Te₂O₅-Gruppen verbunden. Mn, Ca und Zn in 8- und in [4+2]-Koordination bilden längs [001] Ketten, die durch Te₂O₅-Gruppen miteinander verknüpft sind.

Summary Denningite, (Mn, Ca, Zn) Te₂O₅ is tetragonal with spacegroup P 4₂/n bc and unit-cell dimensions a=8,82, c=13,04; Z=8. The structure has been determined and refined by Patterson, Fourier and (F_o-F_c) projections along [100], [110] and [001]. Finally a least-squares refinement has been carried out. Pairs of trigonal TeO₃ pyramids (Te–O=1,84–2,04) are connected to isolated Te₂O₅ groups. Mn, Ca and Zn in 8 coordination and in [4+2] coordination form chains along [001] connected by Te₂O₅ groups.

Climate Impact Response Functions: An Introduction     

Ferenc L. Toth  Wolfgang Cramer  Eva Hizsnyik 《Climatic change》2000,46(3):225-246

The concept of climate impact response function is introduced and placed into the context of integrated assessment models to analyze policy options under climate change constraints. An example of developing such response functions is presented that entails a global model of potential natural vegetation driven by a climate change pattern derived from a general circulation model. A large array of strenuous issues are introduced that will be addressed by the set of papers included in this Special Issue.  相似文献   

Rural restructuring in Hungary in the period of socio-economic transition   总被引：10，自引：0，他引：10  

Eva Kiss 《GeoJournal》2000,51(3):221-233

Rural settlements in Hungary account for 93% of all settlements and 37% of the country's population. Since 1989 they are scenes of spectacular changes. Based on some case studies of less developed villages this paper considers the most important characteristics of the post-socialist rural transformation by examining the local economy and living conditions. The main issues are how local actors (for example, economic corporations, households and individuals) have been affected by the interaction of supralocal and local factors and how they responded to them. Such responses can be considered to be manifestations of survival strategy.  相似文献   

Air–Sea \mathrm{CO}_{2} Gas Transfer Velocity in a Shallow Estuary     

Eva Thorborg Mørk  Lise Lotte Sørensen  Bjarne Jensen  Mikael K. Sejr 《Boundary-Layer Meteorology》2014,151(1):119-138

The air–sea transfer velocity of $\mathrm{CO}_{2}\, (k_{\mathrm{CO}_{2}})$ was investigated in a shallow estuary in March to July 2012, using eddy-covariance measurements of $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ fluxes and measured air–sea $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ partial-pressure differences. A data evaluation method that eliminates data by nine rejection criteria in order to heighten parametrization certainty is proposed. We tested the data evaluation method by comparing two datasets: one derived using quality criteria related solely to the eddy-covariance method, and the other derived using quality criteria based on both eddy-covariance and cospectral peak methods. The best parametrization of transfer velocity normalized to a Schmidt number of 600 $(k_{600})$ was determined to be: $k_{600} = 0.3\,{U_{10}}^{2.5}$ where $U_{10}$ is the wind speed in m $\mathrm{s}^{-1}$ at 10 m; $k_{600}$ is based on $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ fluxes calculated by the eddy-covariance method and including the cospectral peak method criteria. At low wind speeds, the transfer velocity in the shallow water estuary was lower than in other coastal waters, possibly a symptom of low tidal amplitude leading to low intensity water turbulence. High transfer velocities were recorded above wind speeds of 5 m $\mathrm{s}^{-1}$ , believed to be caused by early-breaking waves and the large fetch (6.5 km) of the estuary. These findings indicate that turbulence in both air and water influences the transfer velocity.  相似文献   

Speleothems and pine trees as sensitive indicators of environmental pollution – A case study of the effect of uranium-ore mining in Hungary     

Zoltan Siklosy  Zoltan Kern  Attila Demeny  Sebastian Pilet  Szabolcs Leel-Ossy  Ke Lin  Chuan-Chou Shen  Eva Szeles  Daniel Breitner 《Applied Geochemistry》2011,26(5):666-678

Four decades of U ore production in Hungary provides an opportunity to study the possible environmental effects of mining. The study reveals significant changes in chemical composition of a stalagmite (cave deposit). The good fit between U content changes in the studied deposit and the U ore production rate support the assumption of the relationship with mining activity. An independent chemoenviromental archive, living pine (Pinus sylvestis) trees were also investigated. Data on pine tree cores collected from the same region show different levels of pollution (Cu, Zn, Mn, U) after the 1950s and 1960s, linked to the opening of mines and subsequent dust fallout around the site. Elevated concentrations of detritally derived elements (Si, Al, Th) coupled with a rise in U concentration and change in δ²³⁴U values of the stalagmite suggest increasing amounts of mine-derived dust from 1 to 3 km distance that settled and washed into the karst system. The combined usage of different proxies not only provides historic records for the anthropogenic impact in the environment, but also allows the timing of U concentration increases within the stalagmite and the identification of elemental behavior from the pollution. This study shows that complementary geochemical archives such as stalagmites and tree rings used together can enhance understanding of past environmental contamination.  相似文献   

Projected evolution of circulation types and their temperatures over Central Europe in climate models     

Eva Plavcová  Jan Kyselý 《Theoretical and Applied Climatology》2013,114(3-4):625-634

The study deals with changes in large-scale atmospheric circulation (represented by circulation types) and associated surface air temperatures as projected in an ensemble of regional climate models (RCMs) from the ENSEMBLES project. We examine changes of circulation type frequencies and means of daily maximum and minimum temperatures within circulation types in individual seasons for two time slices of transient runs under the SRES A1B scenario (2021–2050 and 2071–2100) with respect to the control period (1961–1990). To study the influence of driving data, simulations of the driving general circulation models (GCMs) also are evaluated. We find that all models project changes of atmospheric circulation that are statistically significant for both future time slices. The models tend to project strengthening of the westerly circulation in winter and its weakening in summer. We show that increases of daily maximum and minimum temperatures in all seasons differ for individual circulation types. There are, however, only few features of the projected changes in the future circulation–temperature links that are common among the models, in particular relatively smaller warming for westerly types. Only in winter, projected changes in circulation types tend to contribute to the projected overall warming. This effect is negligible and mostly opposite in the other seasons. We also detect a strong influence of driving data on RCMs’ simulation of atmospheric circulation and temperature changes.  相似文献   

Long-Term Evolution of FU Ori-Type Stars at Infrared Wavelengths     

Ágnes Kóspál  Péter Ábrahám  Mária Kun  Szilárd Csizmadia  Eva Verdugo 《Astrophysics and Space Science》2004,292(1-4):547-551

We investigated the brightness evolution of 5 FU Ori systems in the 1–200 μm wavelength range using observations from the Infrared Space Observatory, 2MASS and MSX data. The SEDs were compared with earlier ones derived from the IRAS photometry and ground-based observations around the epoch 1983. In three cases no difference was seen, in one object the near- and mid-infrared part of the spectrum became fainter by a factor of 2, and in the fifth case a marginal fading was observed. We study in detail the case of V1057 Cyg.  相似文献   

A New Method for Low‐Temperature Decomposition of Chromites and Dichromium Trioxide using Bromic Acid Evaluated by Chromium Isotope Measurements     

Vladislav Chrastný  Jan Rohovec  Eva Čadková  Jan Pašava  Juraj Farkaš  Martin Novák 《Geostandards and Geoanalytical Research》2014,38(1):103-110

In recent years, routine application of the stable isotope determination of chromium (Cr) in environmental and health protection research has led to the search for simpler chromite decomposition techniques. As the range of Cr isotope abundance ratios in nature is very narrow, conventional chromite decomposition techniques are no longer suitable, due to the relatively high risk of contamination during laboratory procedures. We have developed a protocol for the decomposition of chromites based on oxidation by bromic acid at room temperature. The procedure takes 15 d and requires two doses of bromic acid during the reaction period (day 1 and 8), due to the limited stability of the reagent. Chromium extracted by alkaline oxidative fusion and by bromic acid decomposition yielded statistically indistinguishable δ⁵³Cr values, measured by multi‐collector inductively coupled plasma‐mass spectrometry following addition of a ⁵⁰Cr‐⁵⁴Cr double‐spike.  相似文献
