关键词Solar space method (SS) Ecological footprint (EF) Emergy Characteristics of ecosystems appropriation Yangzhou city Eastern China
中文摘要In this paper, the authors made an attempt to measure appropriation of ecosystems more reasonably and effectively based on examining the advantages and disadvantages of emergy analysis and ecological footprint. By combining emergy analysis with ecological footprint (EF) in terms of spatial equivalent of energy productivity, a new method of solar space (SS) and its calculating framework was proposed, and some necessary parameters for this method of analysis were calculated. A case study was followed under this calculating framework for Yangzhou city, Jiangsu province, Eastern China, using the data of the year 2000. The main results are as follows: (1) The ecological space in Yangzhou city includes earth surface space and solar space, and their demands were bigger than their supply. In the year of 2000, the earth surface space had an absolute deficit of 2.3063E-02 Ga-ha per capita (global hectares), and the solar space had an absolute deficit of 1.4944E-04 Sa-ha per capita (solar hectares). (2) There was a relative ecological deficit of 3.68% in earth surface space, and that of 154.86% in solar space. (3) Only freshwater areas and built-up areas were in a state of surplus, and there was a relative ecological surplus of 82.66% for freshwater areas, being greater than that for built-up areas. (4) The ranking of absolute ecological deficit in a descending order was as follows: solar space > arable land > pasture > forest > marine area > garden land, while the relative ecological deficit was the following: solar space > pasture land > forest land > arable land > garden land, except marine areas. A qualitative comparison of methodology was made between solar space method and ecological footprint according to their capability to describe the temporal-spatial characteristics of ecosystems appropriation. Moreover, a quantitative comparison was also conducted to show their differences in applicability to the assessment of ecosystems appropriation. It was shown that the calculating results from solar space method were bigger than that from ecological footprint because the former supplemented additional items of appropriation omitted by the later and included some new items of indirect appropriation that were excluded by the later. It is found that the new measure of solar space operates well as an indicator of the city's appropriation to ecosystems. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
