1、环境学概论第一周作业1.Environmental problems are complex and interrelated.Within the ecosystem every component seems to be interconnected and interacted with each other as illustrated in the Darwin's theory of the relation between the production of seeds in red clover and numbers of catsEnvironmental prob
2、lems often involve social, ethical,political and economic issues. It s not easy to achieve acceptable solutions to environmental issues; an environmental decision that is supportable from an economic point of view may not be plausible from the political perspective. As the reintroduction of wolves i
3、nto Yellowstone manifested, the solution has an ethical side and influence not only natural but also economic and social realms. What's more, environmental problems do not necessarily coincide with political boundaries, thus require the collaboration of multiple states or even nations.It's g
4、ettin more complicated as the globalization accelerates and the scale of environmental problems expands and requires better governance to ensure sustainable developments.2. The ecosystem approach is the comprehensive and integrated management of human activities, based on the scientific knowledge ab
5、out ecosystem and its dynamics, and achieve sustainable use of ecosystem goods and services and maintenance of ecosystem integrity.It is the right approach because an ecosystem involvesnot only all organisms but also the abioticenvironment, and they form a complex network ofinterrelationships. Only
6、by thinking systematically,can we understand the dynamics of the ecosystem andtake the right action which satisfies human needswhile preserving health of the ecosystem.3. The security consists of economic, political, cultural, social and environmental aspects.Urbanization and human migration can put
7、 great pressure on environment, leading to land degradation and eutrophication, which destroyed the aquatic ecosystem. These would affect the economic and environmental security.The environmental change also threatens environmental resources and caused social instability or evenconflicts and wars, t
8、hus posing a threat to social and political security.4. Defining human well-being is difficult due to differing views on its definition.first is the resources that people possess, including money and other assets. Such view implies weak sustainability, in which the environment cancontribute to devel
9、opment merely by promoting economic growth.second is how people feel about their lives. It means people value the environment for its traditional or cultural aspects.third is what people are able to be and to do. The impacts that the environment have on human well-being are regarded as multidimensio
10、nal.Above all, human well-being and the quality of the environment are strongly interrelated, and the impact is prominent in various ecosystem services, including provisioning services, regulating services cultural services and supporting services.5. There is difference in how social, political and
11、environmental decisions are made. Most social andpolitical decisions are made with respect to political jurisdictions, while environmental problems do not necessarily coincide with these artificial political boundaries. The problem between Mexico and United States showed that tackling the environmen
12、tal problem often requires thinking on a ecosystem level instead of as a single nation.There shouldn't be a difference as the economic and political decisions are supposed to adjust to environmental needs and emphasize the environmental concerns. In fact, there should be integrated decision-maki
13、ng that takes in all the above factors, which gives us the best solution.6.The disease has a close relationship with the environment. According to WHO, almost a quarter of all diseases are caused by environmental exposure. Environmental risks including pollution, hazards inthe workplace, UV radiatio
14、n, noise and climate and ecosystem change could lead to many diseases, such as malaria, cancer, diarrhea and emerging diseases. Typically, the lack of clean water and sanitation inpoor countries and the unhealthy diet and lifestyle in rich countries are both related to diseases.7. Environment is eve
15、rything that affects an organism during its lifetime. Examples are like a fishpond to a fish or the grassland to a cricket.Ecosystem is a region in which the organisms and the physical environment form an interacting unit, for example the wetlands in Chongming Island.8.In resolving environmental con
16、flicts, we need to take the ecosystem approach, call for better governance, involve related political jurisdictions to arrive at the best available compromise-the sustainable development strategies.9.Smog is the most severe problem nowadays. There are meteorological, industrial, geographical as well
17、 as economical factors.The pollutants are mainly emitted by big factories burning fuel, and then dispersed into atmosphere. Once the weather gets moist and windless, smog is easily formed. Besides, the booming traffic emissions and burning of straws also play an important role in the smog. Specifically, the many high buildings andskyscrapers in Shanghai has curbed the effective diffusion of PM 2.5 particles.However, this is almost inevitable since shutting down big companies that emit pollutants or stopping the traffic growth will do harm to the e
