A definition termed the ecosystem-based carrying capacity of island（EBCCI） was developed in this paper of which the indices of fundamental and realized carrying capacities of island（FCCI and RCCI） were highlighted to emphasize the inter-dependencies between social systems and ecological systems. In order to avoid the difficulties and uncertainties of direct assessment, the related assessment model was established on the basis of synthetic evaluation of inherent and external factors affecting the EBCCI. The southern Miaodao Archipelago（SMA） located in the intersection of the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea, China, was taken as a typical example to acquire integrated recognition of the island ecosystem and its carrying capacity so as to discuss its sustainable development. The index scores of FCCI and RCCI in the SMA were 0.818 5 and 0.712 9 out of 1.0, respectively, with acceptable uncertainties. The results showed a relatively well capacity to sustain progress and relatively well realization of the carrying capacity of island ecosystem, owing to a well capacity of ecologically regulating, general performance of both ecologically supporting and resource provisioning, and a relatively high level of social supporting system. The study implied that it was critical to optimize the inter-dependencies and to sustain the relative balance between social systems and ecological systems so as to improve the RCCI and further facilitate the sustainability of SMA. The approach proposed in this paper provides a powerful tool which is well applicative to the regional level of an oceanic island or archipelago to study the sustainable development and can be further popularized to the coastal zone.展开更多

During the survey, a total of 109 phytoplankton species from 3 groups were identified in the southern waters of Miaodao Archipelago, of which 77 were diatoms, 29 were dinoflagellates, and 3 were chrysophytes. Species number was higher in winter（73）, moderate in autumn（70）, but lower in summer（31） and spring（27）. The species richness index in autumn（5.92） and winter（4.28） was higher than that in summer（2.83） and spring（1.41）.The Shannon-Wiener diversity index was high in autumn（2.82）, followed by winter（1.99） and summer（1.92）, and low in spring（0.07）. The species evenness index in autumn（0.46） and summer（0.39） was higher than that in winter（0.32） and spring（0.02）. On the basis of principal component analysis（PCA） and redundancy analysis（RDA）, we found that dissolved inorganic nitrogen（DIN） and chemical oxygen demand（COD） in spring, COD in summer, p H in autumn, and salinity and oil pollutant in winter, respectively, showed the strongest association with the distribution of phytoplankton diversity. The spatial heterogeneity of the southern waters of Miaodao Archipelago was quite obvious, and three zones, i.e., northeastern, southwestern and inter-island water area, were identified by cluster analysis（CA） based on key environmental variables.展开更多

文摘近30年来,复杂的气候变化与剧烈的人类活动造成江苏省海岸带生态演变剧烈,且呈现显著的空间异质性。植被净初级生产力(NPP)和地表温度(LST)是生态系统的2个关键参数,通过将1990−2020年Landsat遥感影像与CASA计算模型和相关性分析等方法结合,分析了江苏海岸带NPP和LST的时空变化及影响因素,结果表明:①由于人类对沿海滩涂资源的利用以及养殖业的发展等,江苏海岸带范围随岸线不断变化,岸线逐步向海推进,且南部向海推进范围大于北部。②近30年来,江苏海岸带NPP和LST呈现出显著的时空异质性特征。时间上1990、2000、2010、2020年代的NPP月均值分别为102.88、88.23、156.62、98.90 g C·m^(−2),呈现下降-上升-下降趋势,而LST月均值分别为32.6、31.7、28.3、37.6℃,呈现先下降后上升的趋势。空间上,NPP与LST在江苏海岸带南北分布呈现出一定差异性。③地表覆盖类型是影响江苏海岸带NPP和LST时空异质性的主要因素。林地的NPP最高,养殖池塘NPP最低;人工建筑的LST值最高,湿地、水域与养殖池塘的LST值相对较低。此外,随着气温升高,NPP和LST有逐渐上升的趋势,而植被覆盖度的升高则导致NPP上升和LST下降。
文摘我国拥有丰富的海岸带蓝色碳汇,准确把握海岸带蓝碳生态系统净初级生产力(NPP)状况,辨识不同人为干扰下蓝碳生态系统NPP的时空分布特征具有重要意义。以黄河三角洲为研究区,以近30a(1987年、1995年、2005年、2016—2017年)为时间尺度,通过遥感手段和现场调查,对黄河三角洲NPP时空变化特征及其主要影响因素进行研究。结果显示:(1)近30年来研究区NPP均值和总量呈现先下降又略微增长的特征,2016—2017年度NPP平均值为294.38g C m^(-2)a^(-1),总量为710.05Gg C/a,表现出显著的季节差异。(2)研究区NPP在各行政区、保护区和地表覆盖类型中均表现出了明显的空间分异性;2016—2017年度NPP分区结果显示,不同分区面积由大到小依次为中生产力区(49.5%)、低生产力区(38.3%)和高生产力区(12.1%)。(3)研究区NPP的时空分异性是地表覆盖类型和植被生长状况共同影响的结果,海陆交互作用、开发利用活动和近年来的生态建设是NPP时空变化的主要影响因素。(4)湿地植被和农田是研究区碳汇的主要贡献者,20世纪90年代以来二者NPP均值逐渐上升,在2016—2016年度分别达570.28g C m^(-2)a^(-1)和335.92g C m^(-2)a^(-1);近30年来,湿地植被NPP总量逐渐减少,农田NPP总量则逐渐增加。湿地植被是海岸带蓝碳的典型载体,农田作为位于滨海地区、由湿地植被转化而来、本身具有较高固碳能力和潜力的碳汇类型,可作为海岸带蓝碳的重要补充。
