道路工程鸟撞被动防护隔离栅设计研究——以秦岭朱鹮为例

随着我国交通建设项目向生态保护区延伸,时常发生运行车辆与鸟类碰撞事件,目前该行业对鸟类保护的工程措施研究尚属空白.本研究以秦岭朱鹮对象,设计出一种适用于道路工程的大型鸟类防撞装置.结果表明,利用拉筋提高鸟类头颈穿过率、增加碰撞受力点、采用弹簧缓冲碰撞冲量,可有效避免鸟类碰撞骨骼损伤,降低碰撞致死率.

Applying Public Participation Geographic Information Systems for Coastal Wading Bird Conservation

Coastal estuaries in the northern Gulf of Mexico are important habitat for wading birds, but are threatened by land use and ecological changes. Conservation has been demonstrated to be more effective when stakeholders are included in the decision-making process. Public Participation Geographic Information Systems (PPGIS) facilitates the inclusion of stakeholder preferences in the planning process by allowing a direct spatial comparison with other ecological data. In this study, we used a PPGIS survey of residents of two counties on Alabama’s Gulf Coast to identify wading bird conservation hotspots as identified by local residents. Additionally, we assessed the ability of general public respondents to accurately identify wading bird habitat, determined whether participants associated wading bird habitat with particular land cover types, and examined whether respondents identified areas with high wading bird species richness. We found that respondents could accurately identify suitable wading bird habitat on a map of the study area, but underrepresented riparian forest, which is an important habitat for many wading bird species. Additionally, participants tended to prioritize areas that support higher wading bird species richness. Thus, this study demonstrated how PPGIS can function as an important tool for incorporating both stakeholder management preferences and identifying knowledge gaps.
