生态塘处理铁路中小站区生活污水

由于传统稳定塘占地面积大、处理效率低、产生藻类等缺点,限制了其工艺的推广应用。而生态塘系统在克服传统稳定塘系统缺点的基础上引入了生态的概念,通过在塘系统中人为地建立起稳定的食物链网,使塘本身既是污水处理单元又是利用单元,在污水处理的同时可以实现污水资源化。在一些偏远干旱缺水的铁路站区,采用生态塘系统处理站区产生的生活污水,运行维护管理容易、运行费用低,在产生良好的社会环境效益的同时,可实现干旱缺水地区的污水资源化利用。

Establishment of Community Managed Fisheries’ Closures in Kenya: Early Evolution of the Tengefu Movement

Community-based management (CBM) could be an essential tool to prevent the depletion of marine resources in the Western Indian Ocean region. In Kenya, political pressure to strengthen local governance, has led to adoption of CBM as a way of reducing over-exploitation and managing the competing uses and impacts on the marine environment. Several communities in Kenya have embraced CBM and have set aside or closed previously fished areas to enhance recovery of fisheries and biodiversity. These community fisheries closures (locally called tengefu), despite being degraded, may recover to finfish abundances and biodiversity levels similar to established MPAs or above thresholds for maintaining some ecological services. Communities see their direct involvement and control of these tengefu as more likely to result in benefits flowing directly to them. Community closures are also important for articulating and resolving community values and strengthening their management capacity. Here, we describe the evolution of the tengefu movement in Kenya and combine information from focus group discussions, interviews, underwater surveys and boundary marking to evaluate the current status, opportunities and challenges facing these tengefu. We show that in some cases community closures suffer from slow and incomplete national and local legislative processes, challenges to compliance, and weak management.     

Investigating Causal Pathways Linking Site-Level Characteristics,Compliance, and Ecological Performance in Caribbean MPAs

A rapidly growing body of empirical evidence has linked improved ecological performance of social–ecological systems (SES) with better compliance with rules governing human activities. Researchers have proposed several key factors that motivate an individual to comply with resource use rules, including deterrence, social pressures, moral inclinations, and perceived legitimacy of rules and responsible authorities. Much of the research on compliance proposes causal mechanisms at the individual human level, but few studies test causal paths with empirical data particularly at the site level. This study tested a proposed pathway for explaining overall compliance rates and ecological performance in SES using data from structured surveys of community members, key informant interviews, policy documents, and coral reef surveys at marine protected areas (MPAs) and their associated human communities in the wider Caribbean. Findings indicate that compliance and other active MPA management interventions positively affect ecological performance, and site-level contextual factors (level of community development and being part of a political network) positively influence significant predictors of overall compliance rates, which include active MPA management and enforced punishments.

透水框架坝生态效应研究

为了研发生态结构,给生态航道建设提供技术支撑,在进行水生生物调研分析的基础上,提出了透水框架坝的结构形式。通过开展相应的水槽试验,对比分析透水坝与实体坝的作用区别,并结合水槽试验成果,从集鱼效应、提高鱼类栖息适合度等方面分析透水框架坝的生态效应。得到主要结论如下:1)从流场分布来看,实体坝在坝后一定范围内存在回流区;框架坝坝后无回流区存在; 2)相对于实体坝,透水坝作用效果较弱(冲刷坑深度约为实体坝的60%),作用时间更长; 3)透水框架坝能够起到人工鱼礁的作用,框架坝的内部空隙为鱼类等水生生物提供栖息庇护场所,对鱼类有较强的诱集效果; 4)框架坝通过提高水体含氧量和提高有利于鱼类的流速区面积来提高鱼类的栖息适合度。     

Tradable credits for managing car travel: a review of empirical research and relevant behavioural approaches

Recently, there has been a surge of interest in Tradable Credits (TC) as an alternative measure to manage the growth of personal car use. This paper summarises the results and methodologies of studies that have sought to anticipate the behavioural responses to several proposed TC schemes that target personal travel. In a critical reflection on this work and in an attempt to inspire future research, we argue that future empirical studies on TC behaviours can greatly benefit from insights from the fields of behavioural economics and cognitive psychology. Therefore, in the second part of the paper, we bring together behavioural concepts from these fields that are relevant in a TC decision-making context. Based on observations from current TC studies and the behavioural mechanisms identified in the second part of the paper, we propose promising directions for future research on understanding the impact of TC on personal car travel.
