spatial temporal change of carbon storage and sink of Wetland Ecosystem in arid regions ningxia plain
Atmospheric Environment, 2019Co-Authors: Bu Xiaoyan, Dong Suocheng, Mi Wenbao, Li FujiaAbstract:Abstract Accurate assessment of Wetland Ecosystem carbon sinks is an estimation of future atmospheric CO2 concentrations, prediction of climate change and its impact on Wetland Ecosystems. In this study, using remote sensing data and 351 Wetland sample sites in 2015, a remote sensing multiple linear regression model (RS-MLRM) was constructed to clarify the carbon storage capacity and its changing process from 2000 to 2015 and their controlling factors in arid regions Wetlands. The results are as follows: (1) The studied Wetlands acted as atmospheric carbon sinks from 2000 to 2015, increasing by 3.88 × 104 tC/a. Moreover, the soil carbon sink (0–40 cm) was approximately twice that of the vegetation carbon sink. (2) Carbon sinks had a clear spatial distribution, with high concentrations in Helan and Pingluo Counties in the central Ningxia Plain. From 2005 to 2015, constructed Wetlands significantly increased the carbon sink (P

rapid assessment of Wetland Ecosystem services rawes an example from colombo sri lanka
Ecosystem services, 2017Co-Authors: Robert J Mcinnes, Mark EverardAbstract:Wetlands make essential positive contributions to multiple dimensions of human wellbeing. However, recognition of these benefits is often lacking in decision-making, compromising the wellbeing of both the Ecosystem and is many linked human beneficiaries. Wetland site managers, decision-makers and stakeholders all need to better understand the benefits provided by Wetlands. Despite a plethora of available assessment techniques, very few approaches are genuinely rapid, applicable across different Wetland types or consider the realities of time and money resource constraints. The Rapid Assessment of Wetland Ecosystem Services (RAWES) approach is presented as a method that meets these needs, illustrated through its practical application in over 60 different Wetland sites supporting development of a Wetland Strategy for the Metro Colombo Region, Sri Lanka. The approach is based on the trained, local assessors using a variety of field indicators in order to assess the positive or negative contribution over 30 Wetland Ecosystem services provide at local, regional or global scales. Outputs are simplified, signalling to decision-makers the diversity of interlinked Ecosystem service outcomes consequent from management policies and actions.

Wetland Ecosystem services and the ramsar convention an assessment of needs
Wetlands, 2017Co-Authors: Robert J Mcinnes, Matthew Simpson, Robbie Hawkins, Beatriz López, Robert ShoreAbstract:The Ramsar Convention promotes the wise use of Wetlands as a fundamental tenet behind the desire to stop and reverse the loss and degradation of Wetlands. The concept of wise use has been formally defined as the maintenance of ecological character, of which Ecosystem services form an integrated element. The Contracting Parties to the Convention submit formal National Reports (NRs) before the triennial Conference of Parties in order to report on progress towards implementation. The information contained in the National Reports submitted for the eleventh Conference of Parties (Bucharest, 2012) has been reviewed in order to assess progress made on understanding of and reporting on Wetland Ecosystem services. Notwithstanding concerns regarding the pedigree and utility of the information reported through the NRs, the review has demonstrated reporting on the benefits provided by Ramsar Sites is limited, that regional differences exist in the reporting on Ecosystem services and that some Ecosystem services are more frequently reported than others. Based on this evaluation recommendations for the future development of guidance for integrating assessment of Wetland Ecosystem services are proposed.

Rapid assessment of Wetland Ecosystem health in silting coastal area of Yancheng city,Jiangsu province
Journal of Nanjing Forestry University, 2011Co-Authors: Liang ZhenhaiAbstract:According to the theories and approaches of the Ecosystem health and the press-state-response model,Wetland Ecosystem health in silting coastal area of Yancheng city was assessed rapidly based on the indicators directly extracted from the GIS and RS data.A model for rapid assessment of Wetland Ecosystem health was built up,and the spatial distributing rules of Wetland Ecosystem health in silting coastal area of Yancheng were explored.Following results were obtained that(1) The distribution of the structure of Wetland Ecosystem health of the silting coastal area of Yancheng are as follows: 22 % excellent area,67 % generic aera and 11 % poor area.(2) The health status of the district among Wangjiacao Port and Laoba Port is the best,where the value of health index reaches 0.87;whereas the health of the district among Doulong Port and Simaoyou Port is the poorest,where the value of health index is only 0.32.(3) The main reasons,causing the damage to Wetland Ecosystem,are attributed to the reclamation and pollution of industry and also agriculture.
