  • Assessment of Heavy Metal Pollution in Surface Soils of Urban Parks in Beijing, China

To date, little research on soil pollution in ChinaÕs urban parks has been conducted. To identify the concentrations and sources of heavy metals, and to assess the soil environmental qua- lity, samples were collected from 30 urban parks located in the city of Beijing. Subsequently, the concentrations of Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn in the samples were analyzed. The investigation revealed that the accumulations of Cu and Pb were read- ily apparent in the soils. The integrated pollution index (IPI) of these four metals ranged from 0.97 to 9.21, with the highest IPI in the densely populated historic center district (HCD). Using multivariate statistic approaches (principal components analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis), two factors controlling the heavy metal variability were obtained, which accounted for nearly 80% of the total variance.

These artists took advantage of their worker status to learn and practice art legitimately in the Mass Art System of the time. They developed their particular style and vision of art from their amateur art training, forbidden visual and textual sources in the underground cultural sphere, and official theoretical debates on art.

J J J J J I I I I I For my parents ‘Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap .’ —Galations 6:7 Prologue The laughter of the children peals through the early morning quiet like bells ringing for the dead. Hair straight, dark and club-cut, bobs above the frilled white and pink of the girls’ blouses as they run along Ritan Park’s dusty paths in the gloomy green Beijing dawn. Their dark oriental eyes burn with the fire of youth. So much life and innocence a breath away from that first encounter with death, and the taint of immortality that will stain their lives for ever. Their mother had asked the baby-sitter, a dull country girl, to take the twins to the park early, before kindergarten. A treat in the cool of the morning, before the sun would rise and bleach all colour and substance from the day. An old man in Mao pyjamas and white gloves practises t’ai chi among the trees, slow-motion graceful, arms outstretched, one leg so slowly lifting, exerting a control of his body that he has never had of his life.

  • Impact of Climate Variability on Flowering Phenology and Its Implications for the Schedule of Blossom Festivals
    Article Impact of Climate Variability on Flowering Phenology and Its Implications for the Schedule of Blossom Festivals Lu Wang, Zhizhong Ning, Huanjiong Wang * and Quansheng Ge * Key Laboratory of Land Surface Pattern and Simulation, Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, 11A, Datun Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing 100101, China; [email protected] (L.W.); [email protected] (Z.N.) * Correspondence: [email protected] (H.W.); [email protected] (Q.G.); Tel.: +86-10-6488-9831 (H.W.); +86-10-6488-9499 (Q.G.) Received: 24 May 2017; Accepted: 25 June 2017; Published: 27 June 2017 Abstract: Many tourism destinations characterized by spring blossom festivals (e.g., cherry blossom festival) became increasingly popular around the world. Usually, spring blossom festivals should be planned within the flowering period of specific ornamental plants. In the context of climate and phenological change, whether the administrators of tourism destinations had perceived and responded to the flowering phenological variability is still unknown. Using the data of climate, blossom festival dates (BFD) of three tourist attractions, and first flowering dates (FFD) of specific species in Beijing, China, we analyzed the flowering phenological response to temperature and the impact of FFDs on BFDs from 1989 to 2016. It was shown that the flowering time of ornamental plants varied significantly among years in response to temperature variability. The administrators of Beijing Botanical Garden and Yuyuantan Park determined peach BFD and cherry BFD based on their experience rather than FFD of corresponding plants. Therefore, the mismatch between BFD and FFD occurred frequently at these two locations.

  • Spatial Variations in Amenity Values: New Evidence from Beijing, China
    SERC DISCUSSION PAPER 113 Spatial Variations in Amenity Values: New Evidence from Beijing, China Wenjie Wu (Department of Geography & Environment, London School of Economics & Political Science) June 2012 This work is part of the research programme of the independent UK Spatial Economics Research Centre funded by a grant from the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), Department for Business, Innovation & Skills (BIS) and the Welsh Assembly Government. The support of the funders is acknowledged. The views expressed are those of the authors and do not represent the views of the funders. © W. Wu, submitted 2012 Spatial Variations in Amenity Values: New Evidence from Beijing, China Wenjie Wu* June 2012 * Department of Geography & Environment, London School of Economics Acknowledgements I am grateful to Steve Gibbons and Paul Cheshire. Thanks for advice and support to Olmo Silva, Henry Overman, Guanpeng Dong, Mark Partridge, Jouke Van Dijk, Siqi Zheng. Participants at the SERC seminar (2010), Conference of Regional Science Association International-British and Irish Section (2011), and International China Workshop on Regional, Urban, and Spatial Economics (2012) provided helpful comments on previous versions of the paper. Any remaining errors and omissions are mine. Abstract Using parks as an example, this paper explores the robustness and sources of spatial variation in the estimated amenity values using an extended geographically weighted regression (GWR) technique. This analysis, illustrated with estimates using geo-coded data from Beijing’s residential land market, has three important implications. First, it provides a powerful estimation strategy to evaluate how sensitive GWR parameters are to unobserved amenities and complementarities between amenities. Second, it compares the spatial variation patterns for the marginal prices of proximity to parks, estimated using a range of GWR model specifications.
