The effect of foreign investment on six pollutants such as industrial polluted water, and sulfur dioxide is investigated with the regression model. The result shows that there isn't significantly negative correlation between the FDI and pollution emission, which is contrary to the popular hypothesis so called pollution haven. The environmental effect of FDI notably varies among different regions,...
Based on the relevant literatures and theoretical analysis, this paper summaries the fundamental theories supporting for marine ecological compensation, including value theory of ecological environment, public goods theory, externality theory and sustainable development theory, and illustrates the necessity of applying marine ecological compensation into reclaiming land from sea. Then the paper discusses...
This study was undertaken in Danjiangkou reservoir and the upper reaches, where the SWAT model was used to analyze the space distribution of non-point source pollution. The land-use pattern was interpreted by Environment for Visualizing Images Software (ENVI). The runoff and the sediment data series from 2001 to 2006 were collected to calibrate the parameters and validate the model. The calculated...
Bosten Lake, which locates in arid and desert zone, is the largest lake in Xinjiang, and is the largest inland freshwater lake in China. It has giant value in environment, ecology and economy. The water level of Bosten Lake has taken place tremendously in the recent 50 years, the water level descended from 1048m above sea level in 1958 to that of 1045m in 1987, and ascended from 1045m to 1048.9m during...
Water shortage is a critical problem in the Yellow River Basin (YRB) of China. A serial of water allocation policy reforms on the Yellow River have been taken in the lasted 2 decades. However, because of the existing operation institute of water allocation and social problems resulted from historic reasons, the water usage efficiency is too low to impact the sustainable development within the YRB...
As an important component in the balanced development strategy of all regions in China, the Yellow River Delta is of strategic importance in the coastal economic layout. With the two cities of Binzhou and Dongying in the Yellow River Delta as the study region, the ecological environment characteristic of the Yellow River Delta area, sediment, soil and environment linkages, the reason of regional sediment...
Identification of water quality conditions in a river system based on limited observations is an essential task for meeting the goals of environmental management. Various classification methods have been used for water quality estimation. However, a discrepancy frequently arises from the lack of a clear distinction between each water utilization mode, the uncertainty in the quality criteria employed...
In this paper we apply a Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) for measuring changes in total carbon emission efficiency between 1986 and 2008 across Chinese regions and then estimate driving forces of regional carbon emission performance (MCPI). A long-run relationship has been detected and the coefficients, estimated using Kao's method, are statistically significant mostly. Our results indicate the positive...
In order to ease the contradiction between the external economy and internal economy in the implementation process of the ISO14001 standards, Promote the implementation of ISO14001 standard in China effectively, in this paper, we seek to build an effective extension system through a variety of the implicit marketing system's tools under the help of the implicit marketing model. With the help of this...
With the increasing destruction of the ecological environment, the strategic position and role of ecological green space is ever more conspicuous in the sustainable development. In this paper, a three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation was carried out to analyze the oxygen dispersion in horizontal and vertical space under urban wind speed field conditions in city central of...
The major method of water quality monitoring was sampling in the scene at present in China. In response to the problems such as weak sampling capability of water quality, untimely data processing and so on, based on GPRS technology, the design scheme of an automatic water quality monitoring system is proposed. The system utilizes the water quality monitor to process the sample and send the relevant...
Evidence shows large amount of Green House Gases (GHG) was discharged into the atmosphere during the process of industrial and agricultural production and led to global warming which affected the environment and life of mankind. This press makes GHG reduction the common responsibility of humans. This paper induces risk management into adaptation enhancement and GHG emission reduction, risk matrix...
Water pollution in Taihu Lake has become one of the most serious environmental problems that draws public attention and needs to be solved as soon as possible. It was well known that forest could play an important role to control soil & water erosion, uptake extra soil nutrients as well. However forest coverage is rather low and woodlands are extensively managed in the headwaters region. Thus...
The increasing pollution load played a key role in the water quality deterioration and eutrophication of Lake Dianshan. The results of pollution surveys of 1985, 1995 and 2006 showed that the inputs of nitrogen and phosphorus from upper stream origin from Lake Taihu were up to 7565.0 t and 401.0 t in 2006, respectively, accounting for more than 90% of the sum; nitrogen input from non-point source...
In China, many historic and cultural blocks in ancient capitals fend for themselves.The Messy architectural forms, the fuzzy property rights make it very difficult to take comprehensive environmental management. How to deal with the relationship between history and future, human and nature, are important issues to resolve. The text takes Shichahai area in Xicheng District of Beijing as an example...
Payment for watersheds services (PWS) is an important instrument of watersheds protection and management, which can transform fortune and reduce the inequity of environment and development between the upper reach and lower reach. Both government and market play a key role in the course. Based on case study of Jinhua River, the analysis on the payment mechanism and modes of environmental services and...
With the proliferation of the world's population, as well as the urgent needs of natural resources, human plundering of natural resources exploitation and utilization of the band makes our living environment has been deteriorating every year because of natural disasters caused by the mismanagement of the major loss. Any organizations or groups cannot ignore this trend, particularly government agencies...
This paper offers an in-depth examination of the strategy trend of development and macro-management of mineral resources in China should be dynamic management of reserves: moderate development of resources, strategic resource reserves, overall value increase of mining area, dividing-area management of mineral resources, regulation and optimization of mining structure and layout, paid use of mineral...
The purple soil in hilly area in southern China is experiencing severe erosion. Understanding the effects of forest management approaches on soil quality is very important during the vegetation restoration. Three replicated plots of four forest stands with different forest restoration approaches, including natural secondary forest, plantations of Robur tree plantation (Lithocrpus glabra) (RTP), sweetgum...
Satellite remote sensing has been an important method of marine monitoring. In this paper, according to the requirements of marine monitoring and marine management, the authors produced figures to show the coastline changes, distributions of suspended sediment and chlorophyll-a based on the data from Landsat-5 and synchronous monitoring data of Yellow River's mouth and Laizhou Bay in different periods...
