The Path to Reshaping the Structure and Chain System of the Publishing Industry in the Era of Big Data

Today,we are living in the era of“big data”where massive amounts of data are used for quantitative decisions and communication management.With the continuous penetration of big data-based intelligent technology in all fields of human life,the enormous commercial value inherent in the data industry has become a crucial force that drives the aggregation of new industries.For the publishing industry,the introduction of big data and relevant intelligent technologies,such as data intelligence analysis and scenario services,into the structure and value system of the publishing industry,has become an effective path to expanding and reshaping the demand space of publishing products,content decisions,workflow chain,and marketing direction.In the integration and reconstruction of big data,cloud computing,artificial intelligence,and other related technologies,it is expected that a generalized publishing industry pattern dominated by virtual interaction will be formed in the future.

Modeling soil conservation, water conservation and their tradeoffs: A case study in Beijing

Natural ecosystems provide society with important goods and services. With the rapid increase in human populations and excessive utilization of natural resources, humans frequently enhance the production of some services at the expense of the others. Although the need for tradeoffs between conservation and development is urgent, the lack of efficient methods to assess such tradeoffs has impeded progress. Three land use strategy scenarios （development scenario, plan trend scenario and conservation scenario） were created to forecast potential changes in ecosystem services from 2007 to 2050 in Beijing, China. GIS-based techniques were used to map spatial and temporal distribution and changes in ecosystem services for each scenario. The provision of ecosystem services differed spatially, with significant changes being associated with different scenarios. Scenario analysis of water yield （as average annual yield） and soil retention （as retention rate per unit area） for the period 2007 to 2050 indicated that the highest values for these parameters were predicted for the forest habitat under all three scenarios. Annual yield/retention of forest, shrub, and grassland ranked the highest in the conservation scenario. Total water yield and soil retention increased in the conservation scenario and declined dramatically in the other two scenarios, especially the development scenario. The conservation scenario was the optimal land use strategy, resulting in the highest soil retention and water yield. Our study suggests that the evaluation and visualization of ecosystem services can effectively assist in understanding the tradeoffs between conservation and development. Results of this study have implications for planning and monitoring future management of natural capital and ecosystem services, which can be integrated into land use decision-making.
