Abstract The analysis of carbon footprint plays an important role in the management of tourism scenic spots. This paper first introduced the calculation method of carbon footprint and ecological efficiency value of tourism scenic spots, then analyzed the general situation of tourism scenic spots in Jiangsu province and collected the data of 2013–17 to calculate the carbon footprint and ecological efficiency value. The results showed that the carbon footprint of tourism scenic spots in Jiangsu province was increasing year by year, of which the traffic carbon footprint accounted for the largest proportion, 60%. The value of ecological benefits of accommodation was the largest, followed by catering, activities and transportation, and accommodation created the highest economic benefits. According to the calculation results, some suggestions were put forward for the ecological efficiency management of tourism scenic spots in Jiangsu province, which is conducive to the better development of tourism scenic spots.

Abstract Maize-peanut intercropping is an important element of China’s agricultural planting model, as it confers ecological benefits, promotes species diversity, and increases economic efficiency and yield. The aim of this study was to explore the yield differences between intercropping and monoculture, and to determine the mechanism underlying the high yield efficiency of the intercropping system using the 13C isotope tracer labelling method. The early maturing corn hybrid Denghai 618 and the early maturing and high-yielding peanut variety Huayu 22 were used as test materials. Three kinds of planting methods were employed, i.e. the sole maize (SM), the sole peanut (SP) and maize–peanut intercropping (intercropped maize, IM; intercropped peanut, IP), for two consecutive years. IM increased yield by 59.7% and 62.3% comparing with SM in 2015 and 2016, respectively. IP reduced yield by 31.3% and 32.3% comparing with SP in 2015 and 2016, respectively. IM significantly increased the photosynthetic rate, leaf area, 13C assimilation distribution, and dry matter accumulation of summer maize, which led to an increase in kernel number, resulting in an increased yield. The decrease in intercropped peanut yield was mainly caused by a decrease in the percent of plump pod and number of pods per plant. The decrease in peanut yield did not affect the production of intercropping, because of the large intercropping advantage and land equivalence ratio. Maize-peanut intercropping provided greater economic benefits than monoculture. These results showed the utility of the peanut-maize intercropping model.

The present study was undertaken to determine the benefits derived by the respondents being a member of the PAU Tree Growers Association with a sample size of a total of 80 members of the association. The data were collected using an interview schedule pertaining to the benefits derived by the members. The results of the study revealed that the majority of the respondents had derived high technical benefits (96.25 percent), high personal benefits (86.25 percent), high social benefits (70 percent), and medium economic benefits (51.25 percent). Between the various benefits derived by them, technical benefits emerged as the major benefits (mean score =142.4) followed by social benefits (mean score=140.45), personal benefits (mean score=133), and economic benefits (mean score=98.44). Overall the members obtained high benefits from the association (56.25 percent).

Fraxinus nigra Marsh. (black ash) wetland forests in northern Minnesota, USA, are threatened by the invasive insect, emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire (EAB)). A potential management option is promoting regeneration of tree species that are not EAB hosts to maintain ecosystem functions. Using an operational-scale field experiment, we examined the survival of 12 alternative tree species in response to different canopy treatments. We planted the seedlings in 1.6 ha plots assigned to four replicated canopy treatments: untreated control, group selection (0.04 ha gaps, 20% of stand), black ash girdling to emulate EAB-induced mortality, and clearcut. Fall and spring plantings were used to compare the effects of spring ponding. Control (32.9%), group selection (34.5%), and girdling (33.3%) treatments had comparable overall seedling survival. Survival in the clear-cut treatments was significantly lower (22%). Species selection, overstory treatment, and season of planting together resulted in survival rates ranging from 0.08% to 94.1%. Conifer species had low overall rates of survival (10.7%), whereas some species with native ranges not presently overlapping with northern F. nigra forests, e.g., Quercus bicolor Willd. (75.5%), had high survival rates. If growth is light-limited, group selection may be effective in promoting recruitment and supporting a larger variety of species.

Abstract Mangrove forests are natural resources in coastal areas that have an important role in terms of social, economic and ecological aspects. However, the utilization of the mangrove ecosystem makes it vulnerable to damage. This study aims to determine the level of public knowledge of the economic, ecological benefits and damage that happened to mangrove areas in Tarakan City. The scoring method was used to determine the total score or the total score of the respondents’ answers, which amount to 50 people. that the community’s knowledge of the economic benefits of mangrove forests was categorized as know for the benefits of mangroves as firewood, mangrove areas as a place for settlement, mangroves as a place to get fish and mangrove benefits as aquaculture areas with total scores of 226, 200, 232,230 respectively. However, the level of community knowledge about the benefits of mangroves as a medicinal ingredient obtained a total score of 164, which means the level of community knowledge was in the doubtful category. While the level of community knowledge of the ecological benefits of mangrove forests as coastline guards, sea wave barriers, sea wind protectors, and animal breeding sites were included in the category of “Know” with a total score of 228, 224, 234, 240 respectively, but the level of knowledge The community regarding the benefits of mangroves that can manage household waste was in the “doubtful” category with a total score of 128. The community was aware of the damage to mangrove forest ecosystems caused by garbage, logging / mangroves, expanding aquaculture, settlements and increasing population. with a total score of 234,232, 210,228 and 200 levels of knowledge, respectively, which are included in the “Know” category.
