Fluid Institutions: Commons in Transition in the Periurban Interface     

Aditya Kumar Singh  Vishal Narain 《社会与自然资源》2019,32(5):606-615

Amidst growing concern about the decline of the commons, this case underscores the importance of understanding how the commons are refashioned and remade to address emerging challenges in periurban spaces. This article describes how institutions surrounding the use of common property resources get transformed and evolve in periurban contexts. What were once johads – common property village ponds – undergo a change in their usage from storing rainwater to storing waste water of the city for irrigation. This emerges as a collective response to the uncertainty attached to the availability of waste water. New institutions evolve with regard to contributions to waste water infrastructure, as well as the appropriation of waste water. Further research should document the changing use of village commons and the emergence of new institutions governing them.  相似文献   

Soil organic carbon mapping using remote sensing techniques and multivariate regression model     

Gouri Sankar Bhunia  Hamid Reza Pourghasemi 《国际地球制图》2019,34(2):215-226

Soil organic carbon (SOC) is an important aspect of soil quality and plays an imperative role in soil productivity in the agriculture ecosystems. The present study was applied to estimate the SOC stock using space-borne satellite data (Landsat 4–5 Thematic Mapper [TM]) and ground verification in the Medinipur Block, Paschim Medinipur District and West Bengal in India. In total, 50 soil samples were collected randomly from the region according to field surveys using a hand-held Global Positioning System (GPS) unit to estimate the surface SOC concentrations in the laboratory. Bare soil index (BSI) and normalized difference vegetation ndex (NDVI) were explored from TM data. The satellite data-derived indices were used to estimate spatial distribution of SOC using multivariate regression model. The regression analysis was performed to determine the relationship between SOC and spectral indices (NDVI and BSI) and compared the observed SOC (field measure) to predict SOC (estimated from satellite images). Goodness fit test was performed to determine the significance of the relationship between observed and predicted SOC at p ≤ 0.05 level. The results of regression analysis between observed SOC and NDVI values showed significant relationship (R² = 0.54; p < 0.0075). A significant statistical relationship (r = ?0.72) was also observed between SOC and BSI. Finally, our model showed nearly 71% of the variance of SOC distribution could be explained by SOC and NDVI values. The information from this study has advanced our understanding of the ongoing ecological development that affects SOC dissemination and might be valuable for effective soil management.  相似文献

通过对东印度洋钻孔CJ01-185的生物硅来探讨东印度洋古生产力的变化和古气候演化的响应。CJ01-185钻孔的生物硅含量在末次冰期最低,为0.86%;而到了全新世晚期生物硅含量达到1.89%。全新世晚期生物硅的堆积速率明显大于末次冰期。随着全新世海平面的快速上升,巽他海峡贯通,来自爪哇海的陆源物质输入到东印度洋,导致全新世的生物硅含量和生物硅的堆积速率增加。研究表明：巽他海峡贯通前,研究区的古生产力主要受东南季风变化和上升流的活动影响;而巽他海峡贯通后,古生产力很明显受到陆源物质输入的控制,东南季风变化和上升流的影响较弱。  相似文献   

Paleogene mammalian fauna exchanges and the paleogeographic pattern in Asia     

Ni  Xijun  Li  Qiang  Zhang  Chi  Samiullah  Khizar  Zhang  Limin  Yang  Yangheshan  Cao  Wenxin 《中国科学:地球科学(英文版)》2020,63(2):202-211

Mammals are the most important elements in Cenozoic terrestrial ecosystem. The composition and the character of a mammalian fauna are controlled by evolution time and evolutionary rate. Here we took 50 Asian Paleogene mammalian faunas as representatives and applied Bayesian Tip-dating method to infer the relationships and divergence times among these faunas.Based on the results of Bayesian Tip-dating analyses, we discussed the correlation between the paleogeographic changes and the mammalian fauna turn-overs. Compared with the traditional fauna correlation and sorting, Bayesian Tip-dating analyses revealed more detailed similarities reflected via the divergence times among the 50 faunas. We discovered that the early Eocene mammalian fauna, which firstly appeared in India subcontinent, is similar to the faunas of the same age in other parts of Asia. It is likely that a passage for the mammalian dispersal was formed before early Eocene. Bayesian inferring suggests that the first appearance of the dispersal passage is during 64.8–61.3 Ma. This time window is close to the time estimation for the initial time of India-Asia collision. During 57.1–47.2 Ma, India subcontinent probably had a habitat different from the main part of Asia, as it was reflected from the composition of the mammalian faunas. It is probably correlated with the uplifted Gangdese Mountain and shallow seas and lowlands on both sides of the collision region. The very remote divergence time(64.8 Ma) estimated by Bayesian inferring reflects the mammalian fauna turnover during the Eocene-Oligocene transition, obviously affected by the global cooling. Till the end of Oligocene, the Arabic Peninsula and Asian mainland remained separated and the mammalian faunas did not show clear connection.  相似文献   

Comparative evaluation of water quality zonation within Dwarka River Basin,India     

Raju Thapa  D. V. Reddy  Harjeet Kaur 《水文科学杂志》2018,63(4):583-595

This study evaluates the thematic representation of drinking water quality of 211 habitations along the Dwarka River Basin (DRB), West Bengal, India. The dominant water type is Ca–Mg–HCO₃. Statistical analysis of the spatial dataset indicates a clustering pattern (with a nearest-neighbour ratio of 0.368 and Z score of 29.774). Two different techniques, spatial interpolation of water quality index (WQI) and composite water quality index (WQI_C) of physico-chemical constituents, were implemented to compare their performance. The WQI_C indicates approximately 11.68% of the total study area is at non-permissible levels, whereas the normal WQI technique predicts about 1.64% of the area is in non-permissible zones. Spatial water quality zonation by means of the overlay technique was superior to the conventional WQI technique in precisely distinguishing the characteristics of the permissible area with respect to even a single WHO recommended water quality parameter.  相似文献   

Performance evaluation of satellite-based approaches for the estimation of daily air temperature and reference evapotranspiration     

H. R. Shwetha 《水文科学杂志》2018,63(9):1347-1367

Different satellite-based radiation (Makkink) and temperature (Hargreaves-Samani, Penman-Monteith temperature, PMT) reference evapotranspiration (ET_o) models were compared with the FAO56-PM method over the Cauvery basin, India. Maximum air temperature (T_max) required in the ET_o models was estimated using the temperature–vegetation index (TVX) and an advanced statistical approach (ASA), and evaluated with observed T_max obtained from automatic weather stations. Minimum air temperature (T_min) was estimated using ASA. Land surface temperature was employed in the ET_o models in place of air temperature (T_a) to check the potency of its applicability. The results suggest that the PMT model with T_a as input performed better than the other ET_o models, with correlation coefficient (r), averaged root mean square error (RMSE) and mean bias error (MBE) of 0.77, 0.80 mm d^?1 and ?0.69 for all land cover classes. The ASA yielded better T_max and T_min values (r and RMSE of 0.87 and 2.17°C, and 0.87 and 2.27°C, respectively).  相似文献   

Response of infaunal macrobenthos to the sediment granulometry in a tropical continental margin–southwest coast of India     

K.A. Jayaraj  P. Sheeba  Josia Jacob  C. Revichandran  P.K. Arun  K.S. Praseeda  P.A. Nisha  K.A. Rasheed 《Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science》2008,77(4):743-754

Surficial sediment samples, collected from the continental margin of the southwest coast of India in July 2004, were examined for the grain size and soft-bottom macrobenthic fauna, to understand the sediment granulometry and its effect on the faunal distribution. Samples were collected using Smith-McIntyre Grab, from 20 to 200 m depth range, consisting of mid-shelf, outer shelf and slope. Fine-grained sediment located in the mid shelf and supported low faunal abundance. Polychaetes constituted the bulk of the fauna. Feeding guild changed with depth and sediment granulometry. Coexistence of deposit feeders and carnivores in outer shelf and deposit feeders and filter feeders in the slope region indicated the effective utilization of different food resources. In general, richness and diversity were high in the southern region. Depth wise, the diversity and abundance were relatively high in the 50–75 m depth range. Correlation and BIO-ENV analysis showed that combination of different factors such as sediment texture, sediment sorting and depth were found to influence the distribution of macrobenthos. Hence, spatial variations observed in benthic community were presumably linked to the variations in sediment granulometry and the energy level conditions prevailing in the area.  相似文献
