Géohistoire environnementale : contours sémantiques et conceptuels. Discussions sur les héritages et patrimoines reconnus aux zones humides fluviales by Delphine Gramond

“…The recent strategies of management of wetlands, aiming to maintenance or to the reconquest of these ecosystems, focus on the ecosystemic functions - translated into terms of ecosystems services according to the Millenium Ecosystem Assesment conceptual Framework - on the one hand, and by underlining more and more strongly on the other hand the values, in particular the heritage values, that we can recognize to them; this approach, broadly utilitarian, asks the question of the natural environment readjustement potentiality and de facto requires to interpret their(s) “trajectories” put rhythm into by biophysics and humans dynamics, which have temporalities and spatialities quite complex and intricate. …”

An “initial-engineering-end use” quasi-market pricing mechanism under cascading risk for cross-regional water rights trading by Xuxia Li, Huimin Wang, Gang Liu, Liu Yang, Zhou Fang, Yi Xiao, Xiaoying Lai, Li Gao, Ying Teng

“…Empirical results and practical applications reveal several key findings. (1) A comparative analysis of national governance across different countries indicates that the quasi-market pricing mechanism effectively determines end use water prices in China. (2) Initial corporate and government investments mitigate trading risks and enhance stability. (3) Overlooking ecosystem service value leads to the undervaluation of initial and end use water prices. (4) Practical applications of the proposed mechanism in Inner Mongolia, China, and the Murray-Darling Basin, Australia, demonstrate that end use water prices are generally higher in water-scarce regions. …”

Study on Change of Landscape Pattern Characteristics of Comprehensive Land Improvement Based on Optimal Spatial Scale by Baoping Feng, Hui Yang, Yarong Ren, Shanshan Zheng, Genxiang Feng, Yuwei Huang

“…This scale can reflect the spatial variability of the landscape pattern in the study area and is the most suitable analysis range. (3) The fragmentation degree of paddy fields as landscape matrix decreased and the landscape dominance degree increased in the comprehensive land improvement; the degree of fragmentation of irrigated land and agricultural land for facilities increased, the aggregation of land for construction increased, the dominance degree of the pond surface decreased, and the overall landscape diversity of each mosaic decreased; the landscape heterogeneity of ditches, rural roads, forest and grassland corridors was weakened, and the ecosystem service function was weakened. (4) The trend of increased fragmentation, simplification of landscape types, and decreased diversity presented by the landscape pattern clearly indicates that the landscape pattern of the study area has been seriously damaged to some extent under the influence of human activities. …”
