“…Second, these types of bio-productive land are multiplied by an equalization factor to equalize them and convert them into those with the global average productivity of bio-productive land. The average area of such bio-productive land is obtained by the equilibrium factor for a given type of bio-productive land area in a given country equals the average global production of such bio-productive land area divided by the average production volume of all types of bio-productive land in the world (Liang et al, 2015). Third, the ecological carrying capacity of a certain type of biological productive land in the area is multiplied by the average area of various types of global bio-productive land by the local production factor (Wang & Xu, 2015).…”

The assessment of ecological environment during the large-scale development of islands is a major topic in the study of current coastal islands. Choosing the appropriate assessment method to evaluate the suitability of carrying capacity of islands and making relevant suggestions are significant to the sustainable development of islands. Ecological footprint method is used to analyze the ecological carrying capacity of Pingtan Island (PI) from 2005 to 2016 for promoting the coordinated rational development and construction and ecological environment of the island. Although PI is in rapid urban development and construction, the island maintains secure and stable ecological conditions. PI is used as a research case to analyze the sustainable development of the ecological environment through the carrying capacity of the island ecosystem.

“…The suspended-sediment concentrations are high (10-50 mg/L) in the northwest and low (<10 mg/L) in the east [21]. JZB has also experienced a large increase in pollutants during the last three decades [22], which has caused the water quality to deteriorate [23].…”

Impact of Coastal Infrastructure on Ocean Colour Remote Sensing: A Case Study in Jiaozhou Bay, China

Spatial and temporal ocean colour data are increasingly accessible through remote sensing, which is a key tool for evaluating coastal biogeochemical and physical processes, and for monitoring water quality. Coastal infrastructure such as cross-sea bridges may impact ocean colour remote sensing due to the different spectral characteristics of asphalt and the seawater surface. However, this potential impact is typically ignored during data post-processing. In this study, we use Jiaozhou Bay (East China) and its cross-bay bridge to examine the impact of coastal infrastructure on water-quality remote-sensing products, in particular on chlorophyll-a concentration and total suspended sediment. The values of these products in the bridge area were significantly different to those in the adjacent water. Analysis of the remote-sensing reflectance and application of the Normalised Difference Water Index demonstrate that this phenomenon is caused by contamination of the signal by bridge pixels. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) products helped estimate the pixel scale that could be influenced by contamination. Furthermore, we found similar pixel contamination at Hangzhou Bay Bridge, suggesting that the impact of large coastal infrastructure on ocean colour data is common, and must therefore be considered in data post-processing.

“…Since the 1960s, especially since the beginning of the 1980s, with the socio-economic development of Qingdao City, human activities such as land-based source pollution, land reclamation and many other indicators showed single, cumulative and synergistic processes. These processes resulted in both the recession of marine resources and the environmental carrying capacity and the deterioration of the water quality (WQ) in JZB, which in turn posed a challenge for the sustainable socio-economic development of Qingdao (Gao et al, 2014;Han et al, 2011;Liang et al, 2015;Shi et al, 2011).…”

“…However, the WQ of JZB continues to deteriorate (Dong et al, 2010;Liang et al, 2015; Ocean and Fishery Department of Qingdao City, 2015; Qian et al, 2009). The ratio of the areas with the second grade and the inferior second grade of the seawater quality standard increased by approximately 5%, indicating that the deterioration of WQ of JZB is still serious and difficult to restore.…”

During the past 50 years, the high-intensity land-based pollutant discharge and land reclamation have been identified as the key control indicators and have a joint contribution on the significant variation of water quality of Jiaozhou Bay, showing synergistic effect on water quality. Note: The C DIN represents dissolved inorganic nitrogen concentration; S JZB is the water area of Jiaozhou Bay (JZB); F TN is the terrestrial total nitrogen flux.
