Traditional evaluation methods mainly adopted individual indicator as a method which cannot fully reflect the affecting factors of the groundwater exploitation potential in a scientific way. The idea that the spatial distribution and dynamic change of groundwater is not only affected by socio-economic development and exploitation technology but also influenced by its regulation is coincided with the niche theory. This paper has preliminarily applied the niche theory to groundwater exploitation potential analysis, and proposed the concept of groundwater niche as well as its related definition, connotation and calculation formula. Meanwhile, by taking the Hebei Plain as an example, the article has made an evaluation of groundwater exploitation potentiality and a contrast with the results of the traditional evaluation methods on the construction of groundwater niche index system, and then verified the feasibility and rationality of this index system. It turns out that, it is truly comprehensive, scientific and rational to make groundwater niche calculation and exploitation potential analysis by using the evaluation index system. Niche theory has provided a new and fundamental attempt for the analysis and competition strategy for the groundwater exploitation potentiality evaluation.展开更多

The rational change in the quantity of cultivated land will be propitious to ecological security and sustainable development, and irrational change will deteriorate ecological environment. The concept of cultivated land quantity niche regulation was firstly put forward based on niche theory and the action-feedback mechanism between cultivated land quantity niche and cultivated land benefit niche. Then, the regulation measures of cultivated land quantity niche were brought forward in rural-urban area, agro-forest area and consolidation-reclamation-exploitation area. Finally, the ecological environmental effect after regulation was analyzed. The results show that different measures should be taken to regulate cultivated land quantity niche in different areas. The economic and social benefit niche of cultivated land should be promoted to regulate cultivated land quantity niche in rural-urban area and consolidation-reclamation-exploitation area. The social benefit niche of cultivated land should be reduced in agro-forest area. The regulation goal of cultivated land quantity niche will be attained by different measures.展开更多
