Photosynthesis started to evolve some 3.5 bil-lion years ago CO2 is the substrate for photo-synthesis and in the past 200-250 years,at-mospheric levels have approximately doubled due to human industrial activities.However,this time span is not sufficient for adaptation mechanisms of photosynthesis to be evolutio-narily manifested.Steep increases in human population,shortage of arable land and food,and climate change call for actions,now.Thanks to substantial research efforts and ad-vances in the last century,basic knowledge of photosynthetic and primary metabolic proc-esses can now be translated into strategies to optimize photosynthesis to its full potential in order to improve crop yields and food supply for the future.Many different approaches have been proposed in recent years,some of which have already proven successful in different crop species.Here,we summarize recent ad-vances on modifications of the complex net-work of photosynthetic light reactions.These are the starting point of all biomass production and supply the energy equivalents necessary for downstream processes as well as the oxygen we breathe.

毕节市地处乌蒙山区,经济欠发达,旱灾严重,对毕节市农户旱灾社会脆弱性评价极具意义.从农户视角,在划分农户生计类型的基础上,结合社会脆弱性的概念,从敏感性、适应性与致灾强度三方面构建农户旱灾脆弱性评价指标体系,以实际调研数据为基础,本文采用加权综合评分法评价农户旱灾社会脆弱性,分析旱灾社会脆弱性与农户生计类型的关系.结果 显示:农户旱灾脆弱性较高,主要受保险意识与家庭经济状况影响;生计类型与农户旱灾社会脆弱性关系密切,其中纯农户最高,脆弱性指数达到(0.4944),二兼户(0.4772)和非农户(0.454

泥石流是大坡度山区常见的自然灾害,从其触发动力因子溯源常划分为水力类和土力类两大基本类型.水力类泥石流起动的核心控制因素为水流对物源的冲击和拖曳力,与水流(或水沙浆体)强度密切相关;土力类泥石流起动的核心过程为滑坡(库伦破坏)和土体液化,主要受控于孔隙水压力(和土体含水量).两类泥石流过程赖以发育的地质、地貌和环境条件显著不同,形成机制和关键因子迥异,但两类过程仍可以(且有必要)统一在一个宏观多相流物质输移体系中进行分析探讨,这对于进一步明晰泥石流易发环境(地质、地貌、气候)、关键要素和起动条件,有针对性
