Flows,system boundaries and the politics of urban metabolism: Waste management in Mexico City and Santiago de Chile     

《Geoforum》2017

In this paper we examine two central concepts of urban metabolism (‘system boundaries’ and ‘flows’), and explore how to approach them as a means to politicise urban metabolism research. We present empirical findings from two case studies of waste management, in Mexico City and Santiago de Chile, looking at: the materiality of waste flows, the actors involved in them, and how waste flows relate to issues of environmental justice. We argue that urban metabolism, as a methodology to understand urban sustainability, has the potential to produce knowledge to trigger urban transformations, and to analyse the social, political and environmental aspects of waste management in urban areas.  相似文献   

利用物质投入价值产出模型分析生态经济系统的物质流(英文)     

徐明 《资源与生态学报(英文版)》2010,1(2):123-134

利用经济投入产出表所提供的经济数据以及物质流分析所提供的社会代谢数据,建立了物质投入价值产出(PIMO)模型对生态经济系统的代谢进行量化分析。该模型基于一系列经济部门的物质平衡方程,可以较为方便地对生态经济系统的物质代谢进行模拟和分析。以中国为例,本文对该模型的建立和使用进行了演示,各类经济活动对生态经济系统代谢的影响得到了量化。  相似文献

荒漠绿洲过渡带柽柳和泡泡刺光合作用及水分代谢的生态适应性   总被引：14，自引：12，他引：2  

刘冰  赵文智 《中国沙漠》2009,29(1):101-107

对分布于荒漠绿洲过渡带的柽柳(Tamarix ramosissima)和泡泡刺(Nitraria sphaerocarpa)光合和水分代谢特性进行了比较研究。结果表明,柽柳和泡泡刺：①净光合速率与环境因子响应具“光合下调”现象,其曲线符合Gauss model。②净光合速率最大值分别为20.2 μmol CO2·m-2·s-1和23.8 μmol CO2·m-2·s-1;光补偿点和饱和点为244.62 μmol·m-2·s-1和1 180.31 μmol·m-2·s-1,73.67 μmol·m-2·s-1和1 467.85 μmol·m-2·s-1。③净光合速率近似双峰型抛物线;光能利用效率单峰曲线;柽柳蒸腾速率和水分利用效率为单峰旗形,泡泡刺波浪型。 ④泡泡刺利用较高的净光合速率、蒸腾、水分利用效率,柽柳通过高光能利用效率来适应荒漠生态环境。因此,光抑制所导致的“光合下调”现象是柽柳和泡泡刺对水分胁迫所产生的保护性机制,反映了荒漠植物在与环境协同进化过程中的生态适应性;较低的水分利用效率是荒漠植物对其环境响应的普遍适应机理。  相似文献

Lead and Aroclor 1254 disrupt reproductive neuroendocrine function in Atlantic croaker     

I. A. Khan  P. Thomas 《Marine environmental research》2000,50(1-5):119-123

We have previously shown that lead (lead chloride) and a polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) mixture (Aroclor 1254) can alter hypothalamic serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) content, and pituitary gonadotropin II (GTH II) release in vitro, in the Atlantic croaker (Micropogonias undulatus). In the present study we investigated whether impairment of the hypothalamic 5-HT pathway involves alterations in tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH), the rate-limiting enzyme in 5-HT biosynthesis, or monoamine oxidase (MAO), the catabolic enzyme. Aroclor 1254 (1 mg/kg body wt. for 30 days) significantly inhibited hypothalamic TPH activity without altering MAO activity, and caused a significant decline in 5-HT content. On the other hand, lead exposure (15 mg/kg body wt. for 30 days) only induced a slight decrease in hypothalamic 5-HT content and TPH activity, and a minor increase in MAO activity. However, both Aroclor 1254 and lead significantly inhibited the GTH II response to stimulation by a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone analog (LHRHa) in vivo and caused reduced gonadal growth. These results demonstrate that impairment of hypothalamic serotonin metabolism by Aroclor 1254 involves inhibition of 5-HT synthesis, whereas lead does not exert a profound influence on 5-HT metabolism. The decline in 5-HT availability due to reduced 5-HT synthesis in the PCB-exposed fish may result in disruption of the stimulatory 5-HT-GnRH pathway controlling GTH II secretion leading to impairment of gonadal growth.  相似文献

Utilizing in vivo nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy to study sublethal stress in aquatic organisms     

Viant MR  Pincetich CA  Walton JH  Tjeerdema RS  Hinton DE 《Marine environmental research》2002,54(3-5):553-557

In vivo nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) is a powerful technique for characterizing the sublethal actions of physical and chemical stressors in live, intact organisms. In particular, 31P NMR is ideal for observing perturbations to cellular energetics since critical metabolite concentrations, including phosphagens, ATP and inorganic phosphate (Pi), can be measured non-invasively and in real time. This technique's versatility is demonstrated not only in the diversity of organisms that can be studied, but also in its broad-ranging applicability to environmental research. Illustrative studies include the actions of copper in adult red abalone (Haliotis rufescens) and changes in energetically important metabolites in developing medaka embryos (Oryzias latipes). Advantages and disadvantages of in vivo NMR will be discussed.  相似文献
