Geography and Rural Household Income:A Village Level Study in Henan Province,China

This study uses the data from a sample survey conducted in April 2007 on 1 251 rural households in 11 villages of Henan Province, the largest less developed agricultural province in China, to examine how geography affects rural household income （RHI）. The quantitative analysis indicates following results. I） The significance of the traditional geographical factors reduces as RHI rank increases. 2） The landform does not affect the RHI significantly. The per capita income of rural household in a plain area is lower than that in a mountainous area. And 3） the capital endowment and status of non-farm economic activities contribute to the increase of RHI. But the probability and intensity of non-farm economic activities of rural households in urban outskirts villages are higher than that in non-urban outskirts villages. Based on the results, the paper further concludes that geography still plays a significant role in rural development, but it is changing over time. The agricultural resources （such as per capita arable land） significantly affect RHI with the relatively lower income level, while the geographical location shows a more significant impact on RHI with the relatively high income level. Along with economic development, the proximity replaces the traditional geographical factors such as landform and physical resources as the major determining factor in RHI.

Classification of regional agricultural structure:method and its application to China

Regional agriculture is the basis of regional sustainable development, so sustainable regional agricultural development is essential to the sustainable development of the whole society and becomes the focus of global research. The classification of regional agricultural structure is the basic work of regional agriculture study. This paper constructs index system （27 indices） of regional agricultural structure types with the three big indices： natural resources, developmental level of the agro-economy, and agro-ecological conditions. This paper also endows weight to every sub-classification index by means of AHP and obtains the comprehensive evaluation value of the three types of indices with arithmetic average weight approach. The regional agricultural structure can be classified into eight types in accordance with this evaluation results. The empirical study of China shows that the 31 provinces （municipalities and autonomous regions） are of different agriculture structural types. Finally, countermeasures of sustainsable agricultural development are put forward for the different agriculture structure features.

Effects of Nitrogen Fertilization on Growth and Development and Nitrogen Utilization of Japonica Super Rice

With the super japonica rice Shennong 265 as the tested material, the effects of different nitrogen application amounts and basic tiller fertilizer(BTF)-ear granule fertilizer(EGF) ratios on the yield and nitrogen utilization characteristics of Shennong265 were investigated. The results showed that when the BTF-EGF ratio was 8:2 or 7:3, the yield of Shennong 265 increased with the increased nitrogen application amount; when the BTF-EGF ratio was 6:4, medium nitrogen level was more conducive to improving the yield of Shennong 265; under the condition of same BTF-EGF ratio, with the increased nitrogen application amount, the total nitrogen uptake increased, and the nitrogen physiological efficiency and harvest index decreased. At low and medium nitrogen levels, the higher the proportion of EGF was, the higher the yield, total nitrogen uptake and nitrogen recovery ratio were; at high nitrogen level, the BTF-EGF ratio of 7:3 was more favorable; at the same nitrogen level, the higher the proportion of EGF was, the lower the nitrogen physiological efficiency and harvest index were. Under conditions of nitrogen application level of 255 kg/hm^2 and BTF-EGF ratio of 7:3, the dry matter accumulation in the leaves, stems and spikes of Shennong265 was higher in the late growth period. Higher effective panicle number and grain number per panicle led to higher yield(9581.5 kg/hm^2, 2.4%-20.1% higher than those in the other treatment groups) and higher nitrogen use efficiency.

Priorities of State Support of the Russian Agriculture on Federal and Regional Levels under Volatile Economic Growth

The state support of the agriculture is increasing with the globalization of Russia, the need to shape level and instruments in accordance with the WTO requirements. For Russia, rational state support of agriculture is topical according to the domestic economic problems： insufficient financing in Russia, in the regions; degradation of production facilities; turnover acreage reduction; reduction in livestock; and according to the external economic factors： the accession to the WTO, the transition to the Common Economic Space, and subsequently, the Eurasian Economic Union, global change conditions in the global food market, an increase in the world population, increasing demand for food resources, a significant increase in food prices on world markets, the increased activity of Russian agricultural producers in the world markets of grain products; ensuring of economic stability systems, critical analysis of the tools and the effectiveness of economic policy. According to the IMF, the economic has slowed down despite the state support for agriculture should stay a priority in the government＇s economic policy, in the regions.

A Historical Overview of China's Upgrading of Its Industrial Structure

This paper investigates the history of upgrade of industrial structure in human society from a combined perspective of economic and philosophical history encompassing primitive society,ancient society and recent and modern society.As far as recent and modern society is concerned,this paper divides the upgrade into two basic aspects:the shifting dominant position of primary,secondary and tertiary industries,and that of laborintensive,capital-intensive and knowledge-intensive industries.Moreover,this paper has examined the history of upgrade of industrial structure in China since 1949 and identified that the upgrade of China's industrial structure demonstrates not only the characteristics of middle and late stages of industrialization but characteristics of modernization as well.According to the general pattern of upgrade of industrial structure in recent and modern society and China's reality,great efforts must be made to improve China's indigenous innovation capacity,expedite agriculture modernization,increase competitiveness and qualitative development of manufacturing sector,and vigorously promote service sector(especially producers services),environmental protection industry,culture industry and maritime industry.

Cropland Dynamics and Their Influence on the Productivity in Northern Shaanxi,China,for the Past 20 Years:Based on Remotely Sensed Data

In this paper,we mainly focused our research on northern Shaanxi district,which is a pilot area of the Grain for Green Project.We compared the spatial distribution patterns of croplands and their productivity for the past 20 years（from the end of the 1980 s to 2010）.Cropland dynamics for the past 20 years were interpreted from medium- and high-resolution remote sensing images（Landsat TM/ETM＋）.In addition,using the GLO-PEM and AGRO-VPM models with a medium resolution and long time series remote sensing dataset（AVHRR/MODIS）,net primary productivity（NPP） and its relationship with cropland were estimated.Finally,the effect of cropland change on productivity was analyzed.The results show that during the first decade of the research period,cropland area and productivity in northern Shaanxi experienced a small boost,while in the latter decade,both cropland area and NPP were significantly reduced.The main cause of the increase in cropland was the reclamation of large area of grassland and unutilized land to meet the food demands of the local population as well as to compensate for the occupation of urban constructions.While the main cause of the decrease in cropland was the implementation of the Grain for Green Project.In addition,urbanization was also a key factor.Overall,during the past 20 years,the total area of cropland in northern Shaanxi decreased by 42.56%,and cropland NPP dropped by 41.90%.This study is of great importance for the assessment of regional cropland security,food security and scientific planning of regional land use.

Potential Changes in Net Primary Productivity and Carbon Input of Periurban Agroecosystems Treated with Biosolids in Buenos Aires, Argentina

Biosolids application in periurban agroecosystems could mitigate climate change by sequestering C, while improving plant net primary production(NPP). Monitoring NPP is useful for studying ecological responses to human management. The values of NPP and C input in periurban agroecosystems are insufficient or missing. The objective was to use local databases to estimate NPP and C input in periurban areas(south, north and west) of Buenos Aires City, Argentina, using different biosolids application scenarios(low and high effects). The NPP varied with crop and vegetable types(P < 0.05), with maize(Zea mays) and wheat(Triticum aestivum) presenting the highest production, soybean(Glycine max) medium and sunflower(Helianthus annuus) the lowest. Tomato(Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) presented the highest production in the south area(La Plata). West and north areas, where Vertic and Typic Argiudolls are the main soils, presented the lowest NPP and C input. According to the low and high effect scenarios,only vegetables presented significant differences(P < 0.05) in average and cumulative NPP and C input between areas. Vegetables contributed with the highest proportion(> 70%) to NPP in both projected scenarios. For both scenarios, average C input by crops and vegetables presented similar proportions. Biosolids addition in periurban agroecosystems could be a viable practice to elevate NPP and C input.

Greater soil microbial biomass loss at low frequency of N addition in an Inner Mongolia grassland

Soil microbial biomass is critical for biogeochemical cycling and serves as precursor for carbon(C)sequestration.The anthropogenic nitrogen(N)input has profoundly changed the pool of soil microbial biomass.However,traditional N deposition simulation experiments have been exclusively conducted through infrequent N addition,which may have caused biased effects on soil microbial biomass compared with those under the natural and continuous N deposition.Convincing data are still scarce about how the different N addition frequencies affect soil microbial biomass.By independently manipulating the frequencies(2 times vs.12 times N addition yr^(–1))and the rates(0–50 g N m^(−2) yr^(−1))of N addition,our study aimed to examine the response of soil microbial biomass C(MBC)to different N addition frequencies with increasing N addition rates.Soil MBC gradually decreased with increasing N addition rates under both N addition frequencies,while the soil MBC decreased more at low frequency of N addition,suggesting that traditional studies have possibly overestimated the effects of N deposition on soil microbial biomass.The greater soil microbial biomass loss with low N frequency resulted from the intensifed soil acidifcation,higher soil inorganic N,stronger soil C and N imbalance,less net primary production allocated to belowground and lower fungi to bacteria ratio.To reliably predict the effects of atmospheric N deposition on soil microbial functioning and C cycling of grassland ecosystems in future studies,it is necessary to employ both the dosage and the frequency of N addition.

Nitrogen Isotopic Fractionation Related to Nitrification Capacity in Agricultural Soils

A laboratory-based aerobic incubation was conducted to investigate nitrogen （N） isotopic fractionation related to nitrification in five agricultural soils after application of ammonium sulfate （（NH4）2804）. The soil samples were collected from a subtropical barren land soil derived from granite （RGB）, three subtropical upland soils derived from granite （RQU）, Quaternary red earth （RGU）, Quaternary Xiashu loess （YQU） and a temperate upland soil generated from alluvial deposit （FAU）. The five soils varied in nitrification potential, being in the order of FAU 〉 YQU 〉 RGU 〉 RQU 〉 RGB. Significant N isotopic fractionation accompanied nitrification of NH4＋. 615N values of NH4＋ increased with enhanced nitrification over time in the four upland soils with NH4＋ addition, while those of NO3 decreased consistently to the minimum and thereafter increased. 515N values of NH4＋ showed a significantly negative linear relationship with NH4＋-N concentration, but a positive linear relationship with NO3-N concentration. The apparent isotopic fractionation factor calculated based on the loss of NH4＋ was 1.036 for RQU, 1.022 for RGU, 1.016 for YQU, and 1.020 for FAU, respectively. Zero- and first-order reaction kinetics seemed to have their limitations in describing the nitrification process affected by NH4＋ input in the studied soils. In contrast, N kinetic isotope fractionation was closely related to the nitrifying activity, and might serve as an alternative tool for estimating the nitrification capacity of agricultural soils.
