Analyzing the global human appropriation of net primary production — processes, trajectories, implications. An introduction

Humanity's role in shaping patterns and processes in the terrestrial biosphere is large and growing. Most of the earth's fertile land is used more or less intensively by humans for resource extraction, production, transport, consumption and waste deposition or as living space. Biomass production on cropland, grazing areas and in managed forests dominates area requirements, but other processes such as soil degradation, human-induced fires and expansion of settlements and infrastructure play an increasingly important role as well. The growing human domination of terrestrial ecosystems contributes to biodiversity loss as well as to a reduced capability of ecosystems to deliver vital services such as buffering capacity, soil conservation or self-regulation. This special section is devoted to the presentation of recent research into the patterns, determinants and implications of the human appropriation of net primary production (HANPP), an integrated socio-ecological indicator of land use intensity. By measuring the combined effect of land conversion and biomass harvest on the availability of trophic energy (biomass) in ecosystems, HANPP explicitly links natural with socioeconomic processes and allows for integrated analyses of land systems. This introductory article explains the rationale that links current HANPP research to Ecological Economics and discusses issues of definition and methods shared by all articles included in the special section. Finally, it gives an overview of the individual papers, provides some general conclusions and presents an outlook for future research: a better understanding of long-term trajectories of HANPP, of the significance of trade patterns as well as of the future role of bioenergy are highlighted as important issues to be addressed in the coming years.     

论中西部农村土地承包经营权流转的制约因素与破解对策——以湖北、贵州两省的实证调研为依据

通过实证考察湖北、贵州两省近几年农村土地承包经营权流转的现状及对其成因的探析可以发现,中西部地区的农村要达致土地承包经营权规模化经营的理想状态,还有诸多制约因素有待克服。破解之道主要在于应构建有利于促进土地承包经营权流转的配套制度,营造有利于土地承包经营权流转的社会条件和经济环境。     

失地农民社会保障需求与供给分析

失地农民的土地保障功能正逐渐消失，而其他形式的社会保障基本上还没有建立起来，失地农民的生活风险凸现。我国失地农民社会保障供给和需求之间严重不平衡，缺口较大，有必要建立失地农民社会保障体系，以维护社会稳定。建立失地农民社会保障制度可以营造稳定的发展环境；提高土地管理效率；加快农民向城镇居民的转变；有利于扩大社会保障网，增强社会保障的调节功能；有利于促进人力资本的投资发展。     

福州市饮用水源保护区水土流失风险评价

选择植被覆盖度、地形坡度和土地利用类型来进行水土流失的风险度评价;试验区域为福州市第二饮用水源地山仔库区和塘坂库区;利用Landsat-7ETM 的影像,在计算归一化差分植被指数NDVI的基础上估算水源地保护区的植被覆盖度;利用栅格数字高程模型DEM,计算地表坡度;利用土地利用类型图获取保护区各地土地利用类型的分布;根据水利部部颁标准,对植被覆盖度、坡度和土地利用类型进行分级,建立水土流失风险评价模型,并在ArcGIS 9.0软件支持下,对上述各因子进行叠加分析,得到保护区水土流失评价风险评价;结果表明研究区内生态环境总体保护较好,但存在一定的水土流失现象,生态环境保护还需进一步加强.     

Assessing the growth-inducing impact of the Appalachian Development Highway System in southern Ohio: Did policy promote change?

The concept of “inducing growth” is typically considered an adverse consequence of a project on the land use system. In certain instances, however, the desire to induce growth and foster land use change is a focus of land use policy. Such is the example of the Appalachian Highway Development System (AHDS) program initiated by the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) during the late 1960s. With the goal of providing highway infrastructure to improve assess to a geographically isolated and historically impoverished region, the ADHS has added nearly 3000 miles of highway to the Appalachian landscape. The degree to which highway investment has contributed to regional growth remains a controversial point and tractable methods to quickly assess landscape change given a project of this magnitude are elusive. In this paper a portion of the AHDS trending through southern Ohio is examined using data acquired from the Landsat series of satellites. Beginning with a pre-highway condition in 1976, a 26 year time horizon, concluding in 2002, was analyzed based on a post-classification change detection methodology. Results of this investigation revealed slight, yet significant, levels of urban expansion within a 10 km corridor along the path of AHDS Corridor D/State Route 32. Beyond this buffer zone the land use system evidenced more stability, suggesting that as distance increased from Corridor D/State Route 32, reduced accessibility also reduced the attractiveness of land for urban uses. Relating these results back to the infrastructure investment policies of the ARC demonstrates that growth did result from the construction of Corridor D and supports previous findings that land development based on highway construction is extremely time-sensitive.     

甘肃省土地利用结构动态演变及其驱动力分析

在GIS技术支持下,以甘肃省1997--2006年土地利用变更调查数据及相关经济社会统计数据为基础,借助系统论中的信息熵原理,揭示了甘肃省用地结构动态演变特征,阐述了影响土地利用结构动态演变的主要自然、政策等驱动力,最后利用主成分分析方法,对该区用地结构动态演变的经济社会主要驱动因子进行了分析与探讨。     

城镇化进程中土地资源生态安全战略——以小产权房违法用地为例

在我国城镇化进程中,保障土地生态安全是其重中之重。就我国目前的社会阶段来看,人民自身素养和科学技术积累程度还没有达到土地私有化的水平,目前个体农民并没有这个能力,一旦土地私有,就会出现土地过分开发的情况,土壤养分会在短期内被榨干,土地修复复垦是一个需要大量人力物力科学技术的工程,个体农民及农民集体根本没有这个能力,就会造成土地荒废遗弃,甚至加重荒漠化、沙漠化。所以土地私有制并不适合我国现阶段的社会发展。以资源代际公平、土地生态安全的角度来看,土地国有是适应现阶段社会发展要求的。土地的利用与开发需要养护和维持,以达到后代子孙的持续发展。     

绥中地籍登记信息平台构建

中西部欠发达城市土地利用结构地域差异研究——以河池市为例

以河池市2014年土地利用变更数据为基础,运用计量地理模型与GIS软件等方法,分析其土地利用结构的地域差异情况。河池市各县市均具有较大区位意义的土地利用类型,其土地利用多样性与信息熵较高,但土地利用集中度都处于低水平,市内县市具有多种不同最优土地利用类型组合。河池市未有效利用优越的地理优势发展其特色优势产业,这将成为河池市今后土地利用规划研究的重中之重。     

城市LUCC时空格局对地表温度的影响效应研究 ——以广西柳州市为例

研究目的:定量分析中国西南典型重工业城市——柳州市的土地利用、地表温度时空演化特征以及不同土地利用类型对地表温度的联合影响效应。研究方法:利用1991年Landsat 5的TM影像和2013年Landsat 8的OLI/TIRS影像数据,通过遥感技术反演提取研究区归一化植被指数(NDVI)、归一化差异建筑指数(NDBI)、改进的归一化差异水体指数(MNDWI)以及地表温度(LST)等遥感参数,基于遥感指数叠加分类法获取城市土地利用/覆盖(LUCC)信息。研究结果:(1)柳州市22年间LUCC变化剧烈,受人为因素影响强烈的地物类型为建筑用地、耕地和裸地。其中,建筑用地变化幅度最大,面积增加了126.71%,新增建筑用地主要源于城市中原有的耕地类型。(2)两期地表温度数据均显示,城市建筑用地的地表温度最高,水体的地表温度最低,建筑用地升温效果显著,是造成城市热岛效应的主要原因之一。(3)影响因子相关性与多元回归分析揭示,城市中各地物类型面积比与地表温度均具有一定的相关性,但差异性较大。其中,建筑用地、裸地与地表温度呈正相关,林地、水体与地表温度呈负相关。研究结论:城市各种LUCC类型的地表温度差异较大,水体和林地在缓解城市热岛效应方面作用十分显著,两者比较,水体的降温效果要优于林地。
