Title: Research Progress on Impacts of Human Industrial Activities on Wetland Environment
Abstract: Wetland,as one of the most important ecosystems in the world,is of great natural resources and signif-icant ecological services for human.But wetland environment is vulnerable,and this characteristic result in the wetland environment's instability which means wetland is easily influenced by external forces,especially by those from human activities.Nowadays,with the fast economic development,large-scale industrial developments have produced great negative impact on the wetlands environment.the way of how do human industrial activities influent the wetland environment was discussed in the paper.By analyzing those affecting processes,the reason why wetland degradation cannot be stop was also summarized.The impacts on wetland environment vary with wetland locations as well as industries'type.The over exploration of cultivated land in ecological fragile region mainly changes wetland land-use type and reduce the area of wetland;heavy chemical industries'over concen-tration causes wetland water pollution.Because of the benefit of rich resource or specific location,most industrial activities tend to concentrate in a certain region.The share of regional labor force,infrastructures and social services,etc.,finally result in the effect of regional agglomeration economy which produce more consumption of local resources and release more slops.When all those effects take place in a drainage area,it may cause the cu-mulative effects of pollution on wetland and eutrophication.Excessive development of aquaculture industry also has negative impacts on wetland;it results in vicious degeneration circle both in wetland environment and aqua-culture industry itself.Those problems affect the natural environment of wetlands,at the same time wetlands en-vironment change also has a feedback effect to them.In order to promote the relationship between industry and wetland,some suggestions were organized in this paper:① to optimize the watershed planning and adopt industry layout;② to adjust exploration strategy to form virtuous circle between industry development and wetlands protection.At the end,some issues were considered to do more study:firstly,the cumulative effect of industrial activities on wetland should be clarified;secondly,enhancing quantitative analysis about industrial influence on wetland and calculating economic wetland loss;thirdly,taking a deep research on sustainable mode of exploita-tion of wetland.
