Land use and cover change (LUCC) impacts on Earth’s eco-environments: Research progress and prospects

Land use and cover change (LUCC) is one of the key variables dominating land–atmosphere interactions and strongly affects the Earth’s eco-environments by altering surface properties. Numerous studies have been carried out to assess the impact of LUCC. However, the Earth is a large, open and complex system characterized by complex interactions between its eco-environments and drivers. This study aimed to summarize previous studies of the impact of LUCC on the Earth’s eco-environments and discuss the progress and limitations in suggesting future directions. Previous studies have confirmed that LUCC has a wide range of impacts on the Earth’s eco-environments, which are represented by the alternation of climate (temperature, precipitation, wind, and humidity), hydrology (soil moisture, runoff, and evapotranspiration), ecology and environmental (air, water, and soil) pollution. Physically, the impacts were mainly attributed to the disturbance of the surface radiation budget and matter conservation caused by LUCC. Although great achievements have been made, several challenges remain because of the unavoidable uncertainties in data sources and methodologies and the complexity of eco-environmental evolution. Therefore, data assimilation, physical-based investigations, contribution isolation, and full-process analysis are required to overcome these challenges in future research. The results of this study helped to capture the impact of LUCC and its physical mechanisms, which provide useful clues for future research and support the relative land use management for sustainable development.     

复合材料整流罩声学等效建模与低频隔声性能研究

运载火箭发射过程中的恶劣噪声环境会导致整流罩内部电子设备失效。开展整流罩的内声场环境预测以及隔声分析,对其降噪研究和优化设计具有重要意义。复合材料整流罩舱壁大量使用蜂窝夹芯板,基于蜂窝夹芯结构精细化模型开展整流罩内声场环境预示计算量大,无法适用。本文建立了复合材料蜂窝夹芯板的力/声学等效模型,并利用精细化模型验证等效模型的精度;进一步基于有限元-边界元方法对某整流罩结构进行低频声振分析;同时,对整流罩的隔声量进行了评价。结果表明:整流罩内声场在频率为160 Hz附近声学环境较为恶劣,整流罩的降噪研究应针对该频段进行。
