“…This has subsequently been regarded as the main theoretical basis of mapping wilderness and has been widely used across various spatial scales and locations (e.g. Carver & Fritz, 1995;Aplet et al, 2000;Carver et al, 2002;Mc Morran et al, 2008;Comber et al, 2010;Ólafsdóttir & Runnström, 2011;Carver et al, 2012;Kuiters et al, 2013;Müller et al, 2015;Lin et al, 2016;Radford et al, 2019;Hou et al, 2019). The wilderness continuum is usually mapped using spatial indicators of naturalness and remoteness wherein it is assumed that if an area is more natural and more remote from human disturbance, then it is likely to be relatively wilder in comparison to those areas which are more developed and easily accessible.…”

“…The idea has been used in multiple research projects. Land use patterns and biological processes have been disrupted by human activity, and the various land use categories reflect differing degrees of human advancement and exploitation (Wang and Liao, 2006;Hou et al, 2019;Liang and Liu, 2011;Zhai et al, 2018). The Human Development Index (HDI) model was created to evaluate the degree to which human activities in the Dhalai district disrupt the aquatic environment from December 2020 to July 2022.…”

Spring water acts as sources of fresh water for the people Northeastern states. With increasing human population and intensity of human interventions at the vicinity of the springs, both the quality and quantity of springs has been affected. The water quality, socioeconomic and disturbance status of three springs viz. Longtharai spring, Binoy Kumar spring and Larai Kappa spring of Tripura, Northeast India were investigated. The Water Quality Index value ranged from 28.9 to 54.6 and Human Disturbance Index varied from 32.75 to 44.30. The recorded temperature range was 29.7–30.7°C and turbidity value was above the standard value for Larai Kappa spring only i.e., 7.51 NTU. The poor water quality in Larai kappa spring might be due to higher disturbance index and also influence by the location of the spring, population and the sum of activities surrounding the springs. The result clearly shows the impact of human activities on spring ecosystem and suggested strategies and policy intervention for sustainable spring management.

“…In China, there are three main climate zones and 15 soil types, presenting various ecological environment and agricultural properties. The methodology to divide the whole area of China into the radioecological regions (RRs) is to first consider the ecological regions (Hou 1988; Fu et al 2001) and then consider the NPP distribution. The division of nine primary RRs is based on agricultural regions in China (NARC 1981); furthermore; the sub-RRs are 300 × 300 km surrounding the area with a NPP as center.…”

The Development and Application of a Quasi-dynamic Food Chain Model in Chinese Agricultural Conditions

A quasi-dynamic food chain model (Chi-FDMT) was developed to predict the consequences of nuclear accidents on the food chain through the ingestion pathway in Chinese agricultural conditions. The Chi-FDMT structure is based on ECOSYS-87, with some revised calculation processes and the adoption of new parameters; herein, it was applied to two regions in China. The model was used to estimate the spatial and temporal patterns of crop plant activity and ingestion dose in the Chinese agricultural environment at the scale of the Fukushima nuclear disaster. A comparative study between Chi-FDMT and an equilibrium model demonstrated good agreement for depositions occurring during the growth season. The parameter sensitivity analysis of Chi-FDMT indicated that the parameters of food intake and processing factor are sensitive, and the sensitivity of the transfer factors within plant and soil-plant systems are dependent on the deposition scenario.
