Societal expectations of livestock farming in relation to environmental effects in Europe     

J.A. Milne 《Livestock Production Science》2005,96(1):3-9

The potential environmental effects of livestock farming are mainly associated with intensification of poultry, pig and dairy cow production systems. The major impacts are mainly caused by housing of livestock, which can lead to air and water pollution associated with nitrogen and phosphorus emissions and losses from manure. European countries regulate the potential for these types of pollution through a number of mechanisms, which have received wide public acceptance. In grazing systems, nitrogen pollution, associated with the use of nitrogen fertilizer, is also the subject of legislation. Perhaps because of this regulatory approach, surveys of the public have found that human food quality and animal welfare are more important issues than effects on air and water quality when considering livestock systems.Variation in stocking rates of grazing ruminants can change the structure and composition of pastures with potential impacts on biodiversity and the production of methane, a greenhouse gas. In European countries, maximum stocking rates have been set to reduce these impacts. Surveys of the European public have suggested that they are willing to pay for the mitigation of these environmental effects but that they also value strongly the cultural component of grazed livestock systems. There are few underlying concepts about how society views the environmental impacts of livestock systems. These are used to conclude that current attitudes are likely to prevail in the next decade.  相似文献

温度对住宅区气体污染物扩散的影响     

岳红蕾 《安徽农业科学》2014,(21):7159-7160

温度在气体污染物扩散的过程中起一定的作用。在现实生活中,由于日晒和地表辐射的存在,使得地面、建筑物外表面都与空气存在一定的温差。温差的存在会改变地表及壁面附近的流场,从而对住宅区污染物的扩散产生影响。利用理论推导对热力因素及扩散因素的关系进行了研究,并且与数值模拟的试验结果进行比较。结果发现理论推导与试验结果整体趋势相一致。这表明在与无温差情况相比较,温差存在时,地表及壁面附近流场更加紊乱;温差与气体污染物的扩散具有正相关性,对住宅区污染物的稀释起积极作用。  相似文献

Monitoring forage production for farmers’ decision making     

Gonzalo Grigera  Martín OesterheldFernando Pacín 《Agricultural Systems》2007

Objective management of grazing livestock production systems needs monitoring of forage production at the managerial unit level. Our objectives were to develop a system that routinely estimates forage above-ground net primary production (ANPP) at the spatial and temporal resolution required by farmers in the Pampas of Argentina, and to facilitate adoption of the system by end users as a managerial support tool. Our approach was based on the radiation use efficiency (RUE) logic, which proposes that ANPP is determined by the amount of photosynthetically active radiation absorbed by the canopy (APAR), and the efficiency with which that energy is transformed in above-ground dry matter (radiation use efficiency, RUE). APAR is the product of incoming photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) and the fraction absorbed by the canopy (fPAR). We estimated fPAR as a non-linear function of MODIS normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI). RUE was empirically estimated for the two principal forage resources of the region, yielding the following relations: ANPP = 0.6 × APAR + 12, (R² = 0.86; p < 0.001; n = 18) for the upland sown pastures, and ANPP = 0.27 × APAR + 26, (R² = 0.74; p < 0.001; n = 18) for the lowland naturalized pastures, with ANPP in g/m²/60 days and APAR in MJ/m²/60 days. The models were able to predict independent ANPP values with acceptable accuracy. Computational procedures were automated and run in a Relational Data Base Manager System that stored and managed all the information. The system is currently monitoring 212,794 ha in 83 farms and provides monthly ANPP values for the previous month and a history of the last 6 years. The data so generated show ANPP differences between the two major forage resources, considerable variability of a given month’s ANPP among years and paddocks, and contrasting among-farm differences in the efficiency of conversion of ANPP and forage supplements into beef production. The system was well accepted by end users who utilize it mainly for making near real time decisions according to last month ANPP, and explaining results of previous production cycles by incorporating ANPP as an explicative variable. However, there were differences among farmers in the degree of utilization, apparently related to the advisor’s attitude toward this new technology. Our results indicate that (1) forage production of large extensions can be monthly monitored at the paddock level by a small laboratory with capabilities in geographic information systems, and (2) advisors and farmers apply this information to their managerial decisions.  相似文献   

Assessing the options for upland livestock systems under CAP reform: Developing and applying a livestock systems model within whole-farm systems analysis     

K.B. Matthews  I.A. Wright  K. Buchan  D.A. Davies  G. Schwarz   《Agricultural Systems》2006,90(1-3):32-61

This paper presents a scenario-based analysis of the impacts of Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) reform for upland agriculture using a Welsh case-study. Specifically the paper examines the impacts of the introduction of the single-farm payment (SFP), the modulation of direct payments under Pillar I of the CAP and the increase in agri-environment payments under Pillar II. Three enterprises are examined, upland sheep rearing with lamb finishing, spring- and autumn-calving suckler-cattle with calf rearing. These enterprises are modelled under conditions in 2002/3, 2004/5 and for the reformed CAP in 2005/6. To support this analysis a livestock system model (LSM) was implemented. The model assesses alternative management regimen using a flexible state-transition approach. This simplifies the realisation and parameterisation of potentially complex management regimen. The model tracks fodder requirements to achieve targets based on defined diets. The LSM underpins whole-farm analyses of stocking-rates, labour and other resource requirements and net-farm income. From the case study the paper concludes that the impacts of the introduction of the CAP reform on the financial performance of the systems are small but negative (a net reduction of around 5% in support). The larger reduction in direct payments (15–18%) is partially offset by agri-environment measures. The paper concludes that while SFP encourages a more market-oriented outlook, the adaptive capacity within systems as they stand is very limited. There are a range of possible adaptation strategies, but for the uplands the extensification of cattle systems by reducing stock numbers and cutting back on labour seems most probable.  相似文献   

微塑料对典型污染物吸附解吸的研究进展

近些年来,环境中的微塑料污染引起了全世界的广泛关注。微塑料具有比表面积大、吸附力强等特点,其易与环境中的典型污染物(如有机污染物和重金属)相互作用,改变这些污染物的环境行为。明确微塑料对有机污染物和重金属的吸附解吸作用过程和机制,对于明确有机污染物和重金属的环境行为及毒性效应的相应变化具有重要的意义。本文系统综述了微塑料对有机污染物和重金属吸附解吸作用的研究进展,着重从微塑料性质(类型、形貌特征、表面官能团、极性、吸附位点、结晶度、老化程度)、污染物性质(表面官能团、疏水性、极性、浓度、形态等)以及环境因素(温度、pH、盐度、离子强度、表面活性剂、微生物膜)3个方面,系统分析了微塑料对典型污染物吸附解吸的作用过程和机理。微塑料对有机污染物和重金属的吸附解吸主要受表面吸附、孔隙填充、络合作用以及疏水作用等的影响。微塑料对污染物的吸附动力学绝大部分符合动力学(准)二级模型,部分符合一级动力学;吸附等温线基本符合Frendlich模型、Langmuir模型和Henry模型,部分符合线性模型和复合模型。未来应加强微塑料对一些新型污染物吸附解吸方面的研究工作,进一步明确微塑料与典型污染物之间相互作用的过程和机理,并建立相关的数据库和模型。希望为后续的微塑料吸附解吸典型污染物的相关研究提供借鉴与参考,也为科学地认识微塑料的环境行为提供依据。  相似文献   

泰乐菌素和土霉素在农业土壤中的消解和运移   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  

普锦成  章明奎 《中国生态农业学报》2009,17(5):954-959

长期施用禽畜排泄物可导致抗生素在土壤中的积累, 对环境产生不良影响.为了解进入农田后抗生素的去向及残留动态, 选择2个典型农业土壤, 利用田间小区试验, 研究了田间实际状况下泰乐菌素和土霉素2种抗生素在土壤中的消解与运移行为.研究表明, 抗生素在土壤中的消解和运移与抗生素种类和土壤性质有关.抗生素在砂质土壤(清水砂)中的下移明显高于粘壤土(泥质田), 泰乐菌素在土壤中的垂直迁移强于土霉素.表层土壤中抗生素因降解和下移随时间逐渐下降, 消解速率在试验初期大于后期, 并且土霉素消解速率大于泰乐菌素.砂质土壤中抗生素的消解速率在试验初期明显高于粘壤土, 但至试验后期, 二者渐趋相似.田间条件下测得的抗生素消解速率明显低于实验室条件下, 这可能与抗生素进入田间深层土壤后稳定性增加有关.农田施用抗生素初期产生的径流中含较高浓度的抗生素, 但随时间(10 d之内)很快下降至检测下限以下; 试验初期径流中抗生素浓度为泰乐菌素大于土霉素, 砂质土高于粘壤土.  相似文献
