Being a key ecological security barrier and production base for grassland animal husbandry in China,the balance between grassland forage supply and livestock-carrying pressure in North China directly affects grassland degradation and restoration,thereby impacting grassland ecosystem services.This paper analyzes the spatiotemporal variation in grassland vegetation coverage,forage supply,and the balance between grassland forage supply and livestock-carrying pressure from 2000 to 2015 in North China.We then discuss the spatial pattern of grassland ecological conservation under the impacts of grassland degradation and restoration,and livestock-carrying pressure.Over the last 16 years,the total grassland area in North China decreased by about 16,000 km2,with vegetation coverage degraded by 6.7％ of the grasslands but significantly restored by another 5.4％ of grasslands.The provisioning of forage by natural grassland mainly increased over time,with an annual growth rate of approximately 0.3 kg/ha,but livestock-carrying pressure also increased continuously.The livestock-carrying pressure index without any supplementary feeding reached as high as 3.8.Apart from the potential livestock-carrying capacity in northeastern Inner Mongolia and the central Tibetan Plateau,most regions in North China are currently overloaded.Considering the actual supplementary feeding during the cold season,the livestock-carrying pressure index is about 3.1,with the livestock-carrying pressure mitigated in central and eastern Inner Mongolia.Assuming full supplementary feeding in the cold season,livestock-carrying pressure index will fall to 1.9,with the livestock-carrying pressure alleviated significantly in Inner Mongolia and on the Tibetan Plateau.Finally,we propose different conservation and development strategies to balance grassland ecological conservation and animal husbandry production in different regions of protected areas,pastoral areas,farming-pastoral ecotone,and farming areas,according to the grassland ecological protection patterns.  相似文献

Changes in post world war ii distribution and status of monsoon rainforests in the Darwin area     

William J. Panton 《The Australian geographer》1993,24(2):50-59

Monsoon rainforests in the Darwin area occur as isolated patches ranging in size from 2 to 112 ha. Aerial photographic records over a 45 year period indicate a 60 per cent reduction in the cover of pre‐1945 rainforest. Urban development, cyclone damage, weed invasion and wildfire were identified as the major causes of this contraction. Urban development contributed 40 per cent of the total rainforest loss during this period. Rainforests occurring on dry substrates have been most affected by urban development. Cyclonic storm damage and indirect human affects such as weed invasion and anthropogenic fires continue to disturb the remaining rainforest patches. Although the largest expanses of rainforest presently occur within parks and reserves, providing adequate protection from further urban encroachment, smaller remnants occurring on vacant crown land are vulnerable to changes in land use. As well as the introduction of appropriate legislation, the control of fire and weeds should be given the highest priority by land managers to ensure the stability and long‐term maintenance of this remnant vegetation.  相似文献   

湿位涡方程及其应用   总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4  

留小强  王田民  吴宝俊 《大气科学》1994,18(5):569-575

本文在湿绝热、无摩擦条件下，推导了湿位涡方程及其近似表达式。然后通过尺度分析得到了大尺度条件下湿位涡守恒的性质，其形式与干位涡一样。由于考虑了水汽的作用，使用它较干位涡更为方便。最后，我们把湿位涡用于江南岭北3 月有无连阴雨的分析，其结果与预报员经验是一致的。  相似文献   

生态区评价研究的兴起与发展——以美国森林生态系统管理评价(FEMAT)研究为例   总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4       下载免费PDF全文

康慕谊  江源 《第四纪研究》2001,21(4):337-344

生态区评价是近年来出现在美国的一种新型区域生态系统管理方法的理论与实践科学研究,起始于美国总统森林会议(1993)后成立的森林生态系统管理评价组(FEMAT),目标是实现地区生态系统的科学管理.本文评介了生态区评价首项案例--美国西北太平洋沿岸区原始森林及其他各类森林经营管理方案的生态、经济、社会影响综合评价的科学与方法实践意义.指出FEMAT的生态区评价:1)迈出了生态区评价历史上坚实的第一步,实现了区域土地利用规划与生态系统管理方案从以行政疆域为准划分向以生态区域为准划定边界的转变;2)方案优化过程充分考虑区域生态、经济、社会的历史、现状与未来趋势等各方面,将科学、政策、管理融为一体,使之易于在实践中贯彻;3)促进了不同政府机构和利益团体间为实现资源开发与生态保育双重目标而共同协作.  相似文献   

中国农村转型与耕地保护机制   总被引：122，自引：10，他引：122  

蔡运龙 《地理科学》2001,21(1):1-6

我国农村和城市的发展都处在转型时期，对土地的需求将进一步扩展，而开发边际土地的余地已经有限，未来耕地食物安全的形势将更趋势严峻，因而保护耕地成为我国的基本国策，但实际上由于缺乏保护机制，耕地仍在继续向效益更高的其它土地用途转移，因此，保护耕地的根本大计在于建立机制，保护耕地的经济机制是提高农业的比较经济效益，耕地生态服务功能的价值实现至关重要，在政策管理机制方面，要强化政府在耕地保护中的作用，规范土地管理行为，明确独立于市场的政府土地管理目标，并以法律形式固定的规划作为实现目标的手段，城市发展要加强内涵集约度。  相似文献   

Urban renewal in East African port cities: Mombasa's Old Town waterfront   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  

Brian Hoyle 《GeoJournal》2001,53(2):183-197

The urban waterfront redevelopment diaspora, formerly confined to advanced countries, is starting to impact upon coastal settlements in former colonial territories. In diverse contexts ranging from postcolonialism and globalization to cultural revival and tourism development, developing countries are seeking to revive their historic port cities. This paper reports on the experience of Mombasa, Kenya, where waterfront redevelopment is a problematic element in the conservation of the historic urban core, and relates local issues to wider policies, relevant literature and experience elsewhere.  相似文献   

不同方案求解非线性化学动力学方程组的比较   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1       下载免费PDF全文

王体健  李宗恺 《应用气象学报》1996,7(4):466-472

在一个简化的气相化学模式的基础上，比较了Ｈｙｂｒｉｄ、ＱＳＳＡ、Ｓｋｌａｒｅｗ三种计算方案求解非线性化学动力学方程组的差异，并引入误差分配和线性组合两种质量守恒技术，分析它们对模拟结果的影响．研究结果表明：不同方案对有机烃类浓度的计算几乎没有影响，但对其它气态物浓度有一定的影响．用ＱＳＳＡ和Ｓｌａｒｅｗ方案预测的结果更为相近，而采用Ｈｙｂｒｉｄ方案得到的气态物浓度的平衡时间略为提前．从计算效率来看，ＱＳＳＡ方案优于其它两种方案，两种质量守恒技术均能改善模拟结果．  相似文献
