可持续发展能否拯救红树林?

Can Sustainable Development Save Mangroves?

Alexander Cesar FerreiraRebecca BorgesLuiz Drude de Lacerda

sustainability-14-01263-g001 image

由于消费主义和发展对生产日益增长的需要,变化正在发生:地球变暖、生态系统被过度开发,海洋被污染,成千上万的物种灭绝。“一切如常”仍未改变,而“可持续发展”的概念则日益受到重视。虽然森林、海洋和湿地是维持生命的重要生态系统,但它们正被加速破坏。例如,保护并恢复红树林对地球应对灾难性的全球变暖至关重要。基于非系统的文献综述,本研究阐述了真正的红树林保护与所谓的“可持续发展”是如何不相容的。在西方经济发展模式的推动下,我们转向避免环境、社会崩溃所需要的紧急变革,并说明为什么可持续发展的方法未能阻止环境退化和为下一代保护资源。基于对地球的深刻责任感,尊重所有生命形式、生态系统动态和生物圈的生命维持特性,本研究提出了以下解决方案:拒绝资本导向的自然掠夺系统、去增长、能源矩阵的深度变换,以及将营养向低层次食物链转移。


The Earth is warming, ecosystems are being overexploited, oceans are being polluted, and thousands of species are going extinct—all fueled by the need for a permanent increase in production for more consumerism and development. “Business as usual” continues untouched, while increasing attention has been given to the “sustainable development” concept. Despite their importance as life supporting ecosystems, forests, oceans, and wetlands are being destroyed at an accelerating rate. The conservation and restoration of mangroves, for example, are also vital for the planet to face catastrophic global warming. Based on a non-systematic literature review, we address how true mangrove conservation is incompatible with so-called “sustainable development”. We turn to the urgent changes needed to avoid environmental and societal collapse, promoted by the Western economic development paradigm, and address why the sustainable development approach has failed to stop environmental degradation and protect resources for next generations. Proposed solutions involve the rejection of the capital-oriented, nature-predatory systems, degrowth, a deep transformation of our energy matrix, and a shift in our nutrition to lower levels of the food chain. These are based on a profound sense of responsibility over the planet, respecting all life forms, ecosystem dynamics, and life sustaining properties of the biosphere.

红树林微量金属生物地球化学对全球气候变化的响应

Mangrove Trace Metal Biogeochemistry Response to Global Climate Change

本文讨论了观察到的不同气候变化驱动压力对红树林在陆海界面调节微量金属转移作用的影响。本综述补充了全球范围内的文献,并说明红树林作为缓解剂或为微量金属的转移提供积极反馈。大多数正二价金属硫族化合物富集在与硫化物相关的红树林土壤中,高沉降率避免了它们的氧化。根渗出的氧固定铁在根际以氧氢氧化物的形式共沉淀金属。这两种生物地球化学过程降低了植物对微量金属的可利用性和它们在河口内的流动性。然而,气候变化驱动的压力改变了这种地球化学平衡。研究证实,不断增加的大气二氧化碳、温度、极端气候事件的强度和频率会影响红树林的功能和盖度。目前还没有直接观察到金属生物地球化学的影响,但已经观察到海平面上升和盐水入侵对金属的影响。海平面上升会增加侵蚀,分解沉积的硫化物,向水柱释放金属。释放的金属吸附在悬浮颗粒上,可以在河口重新沉积或输出到大陆架沉积物。盐水侵入可能氧化较深的沉积层,将金属释放到孔隙水中。部分被移动性的金属可能残留在与DOM络合的溶液中,提高其生物利用度,并表现为较高的生物积累因子和生物放大效应,以及河口生物区系中较高的金属浓度,从而导致更多的通过渔业消费的人类接触。

在规划减缓或适应策略时应考虑到,侵蚀优先发生在向海一侧,河口上游淤积较多,导致红树林向陆地迁移并形成了空间梯度。这些观察结果表明,沿海渔业是居住在以红树林为主的海岸线的居民的主要蛋白质来源和重要收入来源,而加剧的污染破坏了沿海渔业,扰乱了该群体的生活。由于污染物水平预计将增加,对气候变化的环境和社会经济影响的进一步研究推动了红树林金属生物地球化学过程的改变。


This review discusses observed impacts from different climate change-driven pressures on mangrove's role in modulating trace metal transfer at the land-ocean interface. It contributes to the literature in a global context and shows mangroves as mitigators or providing positive feedback to metal mobilization. Most chalcophile metals2+ accumulate in mangrove soils associated with sulfides while high sedimentation rates avoid their oxidation. Exudation of oxygen by roots fixates Fe, which co-precipitates metals as oxyhydroxides in the rhizosphere. These two biogeochemical processes reduce trace metal availability to plants and their mobility within estuaries. However, climate change-driven pressures alter this geochemical equilibrium. Increasing atmospheric CO2 and temperature, and the intensity and frequency of extreme climatic events, have proved to affect mangrove functioning and cover, but no direct observation on the impact on metal biogeochemistry is presently available, whereas sea level rise and saline intrusion impacts on the fate of metals have already been observed. Sea level rise increases erosion, that dissociates deposited sulfides releasing metals to the water column. Released metals adsorb onto suspended particles and can re-deposit in the estuary or are exported to continental shelf sediments. Saline intrusion may oxidize deeper sediment layers releasing metals to porewaters. Part of the mobilized metals may remain in solution complexed with DOM and have their bioavailability increased, as shown by high bioaccumulation factors and biomagnification and high metal concentrations in the estuarine biota, which results in higher human exposure through fisheries consumption. Since erosion occurs preferentially at the sea border and higher sedimentation at the higher reaches of the estuary, triggering mangroves migration landward, spatial gradients are formed, and shall be taken into consideration when planning mitigation or adaptation strategies. These observations suggest disruption of traditional humans dwelling in mangrove dominated coastlines by increasing contamination of coastal fisheries, often the principal protein source for those groups and an important source of income. Further research into the environmental and socioeconomic impacts of climate change driven alterations to metal biogeochemical processes in mangroves as contaminant levels are expected to increase.

克服在三角洲环境中实施基于自然的解决方案的挑战:以孟加拉国恒河-雅鲁藏布江三角洲为例

Overcoming challenges for implementing nature-based solutions in deltaic environments: insights from the Ganges-Brahmaputra delta in Bangladesh

恒河-雅鲁藏布江三角洲(GB)是世界上最容易发生灾害的地区之一,因为该地区人口密度高,并暴露于热带气旋、洪水、盐水入侵和其他危险。由于自然三角洲过程的复杂性以及人类对这些过程的影响,堤防等结构性解决方案本身不足以有效缓解灾害。本文探讨了基于自然的解决方案(NbS)作为管理GB三角洲危害的补充方法或替代方法。研究者调查了NbS作为一种补充和可持续方法,减轻气旋、洪水等沿海灾害风险影响的可能性。研究利用新兴的NbS原则框架评估了三种现有的能积极减少沿海灾害影响的方法:潮汐河管理(TRM)、红树林造林、牡蛎礁培育。研究还确定了需要克服的主要挑战(社会经济、生物物理、治理和政策),以便通过纳入NbS原则来更广泛地应用现有方法。除了解决GB三角洲的具体问题外,本研究为在全球三角洲环境中实施NbS的挑战提供了更广泛适用的见解。


The Ganges-Brahmaputra (GB) delta is one of the most disaster-prone areas in the world due to a combination of high population density and exposure to tropical cyclones, floods, salinity intrusion and other hazards. Due to the complexity of natural deltaic processes and human influence on these processes, structural solutions like embankments are inadequate on their own for effective hazard mitigation. This article examines Nature-based Solutions (NbS) as a complementary or alternative approach to managing hazards in the GB delta. We investigate the potential of NbS as a complementary and sustainable method for mitigating the impacts of coastal disaster risks, mainly cyclones and flooding. Using the emerging framework of NbS principles, we evaluate three existing approaches: tidal river management (TRM), mangrove afforestation, and oyster reef cultivation, all of which are actively being used to help reduce the impacts of coastal hazards. We also identify major challenges (socioeconomic, biophysical, governance and policy) that need to be overcome to allow broader application of the existing approaches by incorporating the NbS principles. In addition to addressing GB delta-specific challenges, our findings provide more widely applicable insights into the challenges of implementing NbS in deltaic environments globally.

研究者与非学术研究者参与的知识协同生产对解决可持续性问题越来越重要。例如,知识协同生产对沿海和海洋社会生态系统至关重要,但由于其独特特点,知识协同生产变得具有挑战性。青年研究人员在参与知识协同生产的过程中通常面临特定的障碍。本揭示了海洋社会-生态系统知识协同生产的特点,以及海洋科学青年研究人员面临的障碍。基于这些障碍,研究讨论了在不同组织层面(机构、社区、管理者和个人)采取的行动,如何为参与知识协同生产的青年研究人员创造更具包容性的环境。研究认为自下而上(个人到机构)和自上而下(机构到个人)的行动都是必的。研究强调各机构有责任创造条件满足青年研究人员的需要对于充分支持青年研究人员参与知识协同生产是必要的,有助于应对沿海和海洋社会-生态系统的可持续性发展的挑战。


Knowledge co-production involving researchers and non-academic actors is becoming increasingly important for tackling sustainability issues. Coastal and marine social-ecological systems are one example where knowledge co-production is important, yet also particularly challenging due to their unique characteristics. Early-Career Researchers (ECRs) often face specific obstacles when engaging in the process of knowledge co-production. In this perspective paper, we shed light on the particular characteristics of knowledge co-production in marine social-ecological systems and the obstacles ECRs in the marine sciences face. Based on these obstacles, we discuss actions that can be taken at various organizational levels (institutional, community, supervisor, and individual) in order to leverage change towards a more inclusive environment for ECRs engaging in knowledge co-production. We conclude that both bottom-up (individual to institutions) and top-down (institutions to individual) actions are required. However, we emphasize the responsibilities of institutions to create conditions in which the needs of ECRs are met. This will be necessary to adequately support ECRs engaging in knowledge co-production and thus contribute to tackling sustainability challenges in coastal and marine social-ecological systems.

关键基础设施是社会正常运转的基本组成部分,正受到气候变化影响的威胁。为了确保社区不会失去基本的供应和服务能力,整体理解关键基础设施适应气候变化是必要的。本文采用文献综述的方法研究了关键基础设施与气候变化之间的关系。在缺乏适应性关键基础设施的通用定义的情况下,研究提出了一种基于结果的定义,涵盖了四种类型的关键基础设施:物理、生态、制度和文化。每种类型的定义用于批判性地探询适应性关键基础设施的焦点。研究表明,横跨各要素的重点,例如概念化和管理,其范围覆盖了从有形到无形的基础设施,从实证主义到解释主义的方法。文献综述确定了关系建设作为一个关键管理目标会跨越各个方面。类型学有助于了解基础设施重点和适应方法的选择如何影响适应结果和路径依赖。


Critical infrastructure is a foundational component of a functional society and is under threat from the impacts of climate change. To ensure communities are not left without fundamental supplies and services, the adaptation of critical infrastructure to climate change needs to be understood holistically. This paper uses a scoping literature review to investigate the relationship between critical infrastructure and climate change. In the absence of a common definition for adaptive critical infrastructure, an outcomes-based definition is proposed that captures the four types of critical infrastructure: physical, ecological, institutional and cultural. A typology was developed to critically interrogate the focus of adaptive critical infrastructure. It shows that the focus across elements such as conceptualisation and management ranges from tangible to intangible infrastructure, and from positivist to interpretivist in approach. The literature review identified relationship-building as a key management objective across the spectrums. The typology contributes knowledge on how the choice of infrastructure focus and adaptation methods influences adaptation outcomes and path dependencies.
