城市生态系统景观格局特征及形成机制

以城市生态系统的格局一过程一功能等相关概念的辨析为基础,重点分析了城市景观格局的基本特征,以及城市格局对生态系统过程和功能的影响。结果表明,高度人工化、高度的时空异质特性、破碎性、不稳定性是城市景观格局最为显著的特征。城市所在区域的自然环境条件,历史文化传统,城市格局的基本骨架——交通系统和城市职能是影响城市格局形成和演变的重要驱动因素。城市景观结构决定了其生态过程。综合研究城市景观格局-过程-功能的关系,认识城市的发展演变过程,可为城市规划、建设和管理提供重要的科学基础。     

沈阳城市森林常见树种的物候特征

城市绿化树种的物候配置是城市园林的一个重要组成部分。本文以沈阳城市森林常见树种为对象,利用6年的物候观测数据,绘出了28种主要乔灌木的物候谱。分析各物候现象之间关系,将其划分成4大组:萌动展叶现象组、叶变色现象组、落叶现象组和花果现象组;并根据叶变色和开花早晚对其进行聚类分组,为城市森林树种选择、树种组成和效益评价,提供科学依据。     

Urban ecosystems and the North American carbon cycle

Approximately 75–80% of the population of North America currently lives in urban areas as defined by national census bureaus, and urbanization is continuing to increase. Future trajectories of fossil fuel emissions are associated with a high degree of uncertainty; however, if the activities of urban residents and the rate of urban land conversion can be captured in urban systems models, plausible emissions scenarios from major cities may be generated. Integrated land use and transportation models that simulate energy use and traffic‐related emissions are already in place in many North American cities. To these can be added a growing dataset of carbon gains and losses in vegetation and soils following urbanization, and a number of methods of validating urban carbon balance modeling, including top down atmospheric monitoring and urban ‘metabolic’ studies of whole ecosystem mass and energy flow. Here, we review the state of our understanding of urban areas as whole ecosystems with regard to carbon balance, including both drivers of fossil fuel emissions and carbon cycling in urban plants and soils. Interdisciplinary, whole‐ecosystem studies of the socioeconomic and biophysical factors that influence urban carbon cycles in a range of cities may greatly contribute to improving scenarios of future carbon balance at both continental and global scales.     

The nostalgic construction of community: Memory and social identity in Urban Malta

This paper examines local people's memories of a Maltese urban community that was demolished in the 1970s. The memories create an idealised, nostalgic picture of community harmony and solidarity prior to the demolition, but also apportion blame for its subsequent destruction. The paper argues that in such situations of physical displacement and/or social dislocation, this nostalgic process serves as a strategic resource that not only produces order and identity, but also creates legitimate moral claims against the state. The paper thereby contributes to ongoing debates about the relationship between local identity and wider political and economic processes.     

Urban land use limits regional bumble bee gene flow

Potential declines in native pollinator communities and increased reliance on pollinator‐dependent crops have raised concerns about native pollinator conservation and dispersal across human‐altered landscapes. Bumble bees are one of the most effective native pollinators and are often the first to be extirpated in human‐altered habitats, yet little is known about how bumble bees move across fine spatial scales and what landscapes promote or limit their gene flow. In this study, we examine regional genetic differentiation and fine‐scale relatedness patterns of the yellow‐faced bumble bee, Bombus vosnesenskii, to investigate how current and historic habitat composition impact gene flow. We conducted our study across a landscape mosaic of natural, agricultural and urban/suburban habitats, and we show that B. vosnesenskii exhibits low but significant levels of differentiation across the study system (F_ST = 0.019, D_est = 0.049). Most importantly, we reveal significant relationships between pairwise F_ST and resistance models created from contemporary land use maps. Specifically, B. vosnesenskii gene flow is most limited by commercial, industrial and transportation‐related impervious cover. Finally, our fine‐scale analysis reveals significant but declining relatedness between individuals at the 1–9 km spatial scale, most likely due to local queen dispersal. Overall, our results indicate that B. vosnesenskii exhibits considerable local dispersal and that regional gene flow is significantly limited by impervious cover associated with urbanization.     

应用意愿价值评估法评价河流生态恢复的时间稳定性——以上海城市内河为例

意愿价值评估法 (CVM)的评估结果是否具有时间稳定性是其可靠性检验中的重要问题,决定其能否应用于我国的生态系统服务价值评估.本文以上海城市内河生态恢复为评估对象,设计相隔1个月和2年的3次意愿价值评估方案,分别对3次调查的426、498和200份问卷进行了对比分析.结果表明： 3次支付意愿均值分别为14.2、14.1和18.0元,中位数分别为5、5和10元.进一步对支付意愿分布和主要统计值、影响因素、模型时间变量的显著性分析结果表明,相隔1个月的CVM 结果具有时间上的稳定性,而相隔2年的CVM 结果表现出一定差异.     

Migrant economies: opportunity structures and potential in different city types

In this paper we wish to appraise how opportunities for migrant economies and their role in urban development may differ among various city types. The article contributes to the debate about the relationship of migrant economies and urban development and takes up two perspectives: it examines local opportunity structures for migrant entrepreneurs and sheds light on migrant economies’ potential for urban development. To address the many interrelated historical and contemporary processes in cities that influence migrant economies, we adopt the rescaling and the mixed embeddedness approaches. Studies on the role of migrant economies in urban development have predominantly focused on metropolises. Based on mixed-methods case studies in two medium-sized German cities, we ask how different city types influence the opportunities and potential of migrant economies for urban development.     

城市森林碳汇及其抵消能源碳排放效果——以广州为例

城市森林及其管理相关政策作为减少CO₂排放的有效策略得到了较为广泛的关注。采用材积源生物量方程与净初级生产力方法来定量分析了广州市城市森林碳储量和碳固定量,根据化石能源使用量及其碳排放因子核算了广州城市能源碳排放,最后评估了城市森林碳抵消效果。结果显示广州市城市森林碳储量为654.42×10⁴t,平均碳密度为28.81 t/hm²,而森林碳固定量为658732 t/a,平均固碳率为2.90 t·hm^-2·a^-1。2005-2010年广州市年均能源碳排放则达到2907.41×10⁴t。广州城市森林碳储量约为城市年均能源碳排放的22.51%,其通过碳固定年均能够抵消年均碳排放的2.27%,不过从城市森林综合效益来看其仍是城市低碳发展重要举措之一。分析了林型组成和林龄结构对于广州森林碳储量和碳固定量的影响,并从森林管理角度为城市森林碳汇提升提出建议。这些结果和讨论有助于评估城市森林碳汇在抵消碳排放中所起的效果。     

京沪穗三地近十年夜间热力景观格局演变对比研究

城市热环境是城市生态环境的重要方面,它与城市气候、城市生态、城市灾害有着重要的联系.以北京、上海、广州三地为研究区,选取近10年MODIS的夜晚地表温度(LST)产品MOD11A2,分别采用质心迁移、景观格局指数、空间自相关方法研究京沪穗三地近10年的不同等级热力景观质心迁移演变、格局变迁和空间集聚特征.主要结论为:三地热力景观随郊区向市中心趋近,体现了由低温区、次中温区向中温区、次高温区、高温区过渡的趋势;三地的中温区所占比例最大,城市热力景观破碎度三地中上海市最高,5种热力景观比较,次中温区和高温区的破碎度最高;城市热力景观离散度三地中北京市最高,低温区和高温区的离散度较高.热环境空间自相关分析表明三地均以高温-高温区,低温-低温区集聚为主,北京、广州高温-高温区分布于南部,且集中成片分布,而上海市高温-高温区分布比较离散,相对较为复杂.从分布面积来说,10a中北京、上海表现为先减少后增加,而广州则持续减少.总体而言北京热环境恶化,而广州、上海热环境有所好转.     

北京城区道路沉积物污染特性

为了解城市道路沉积物污染物的浓度水平及可能造成的生态环境危害,在北京城区的生活区、文教区、交通干线和公园绿地这四种功能区的道路沉积物进行了取样监测,并分析了道路沉积物中总氮(TN)、总磷(TP)、重金属铜(Cu)、铬(Cr)、铅(Pb)、锌(Zn)和有机质(TOC)的污染特性.研究结果表明,各类功能区道路沉积物中TN、TP和TOC的含量较高.交通干线、文教区、生活区和公园绿地道路沉积物TN均值分别为0.1009、0.1440、0.1071、0.0974mg/kg,文教区道路沉积物的TN显著高于其他类型道路沉积物;TP均值分别为0.0695、0.0729、0.0665、0.0608mg/kg,以文教区最高,但未达显著水平.交通干线和文教区道路沉积物TOC浓度显著高于生活区和公园绿地,交通干线、文教区和生活区道路沉积物重金属的含量高于公园绿地.主要原因可能是人类活动和车辆交通量的影响.四类功能区氮主要以可溶态赋存,磷主要以颗粒态赋存在沉积物中,并且交通干线道路沉积物中溶解态磷比例最低.溶解态的重金属占总量的比例均较低,只有溶解态Cu达到5％以上,表明重金属主要赋存在颗粒态存在的沉积物中.道路沉积物或者外界带入的固体物质是地表径流污染物的重要来源,研究结果为城市地表污染控制提供重要参考.
