    The methodologies of environmental and development planning have been severely challenged when classic concepts and models such as economic optimum,ecological fitness,safe minimum standard,carrying capacity,and even sustainability have been questioned. It is observed that:(a) it is extremely difficult to have the planning aimed at being either ecological or economic optimum,i e. planning is not a process determined absolutely in terms of environmental and economic criteria,but rather a defensible one (b) there are some“ultimate ”or “absolute”constraints,which the planning has to come to terms with,but these constraints are hardly definable or acceptable. Therefore,they play a quite limited role in the practice of environmental and development planning. What is urgent is to find some new and effective make the planning process both defensible and operational. As to how to find and design such a defensible strategy serves as an essential field concerning methodologies for sustainable development planning The security pattern approach in planning is an attempt in this direction.

    Based on a great deal of archaeological data of the Neolithic age,the land use regions in China of the Holocene megathermal period are divided. The basic characteristic of the land use in that period is that dry farming dominated in the north,while rice planting dominated in the south. The northern boundary of rice planting reached 35°N,and it lay 2~3 degrees farther north of the present boundary. The northern boundary of dry farming extended to the region along the Great Wall in Inner Mongolia and the Gansu Qinghai region in the northwest, where the animal husbandry or semi agricul tural and semi pastoral industry dominated now and the primary cultivated crop is millet.According to the land use arrangement mentioned above,it is inferred that the precipitation in the Holocene megathermal period was 100 mm more than now in the region along the northern boundary of dry farming and was 100~300mm more than now in the region along the northern boundary of rice planting. The northern boundaries of the summer drought zone and the subtropical high pressure zone also extended northward 2~3 degrees in latitude.The warm period is beneficial to the development of agriculture in China.

    This paper introduces the concepts of marginal water use efficiency (MWUE) and elasticity of water production (EWP),and reveals dynamic interrelations of crop production and water consumption and water use efficiency (WUE) based on the functional relation between water consumption and crop yield ( or photosynthate). Providing the relation of seasonal evapotranspiration (ET) and crop yield (Y) is as Y=f(ET),then WUE=Y/ET,MWUE=dY/dET,and EWP=MWUE/WUE.WUE increases with the rise of ET if EWP>1 and decreases with the rise of ET if EWP<1. Proper construction of the function of crop water production,Y=f(ET),serves as a basis for correct analysis of WUE. If the Y=f(ET) function is linear,the changing trend of WUE with ET is directly affected by the constant term. If the Y=f(ET) function is quadratic parabolic,the maximum WUE comes earlier than the maximum yield with the rise of ET. The ET that makes WUE reach to its maximum value equals the arithmetic square root of a ratio of the constant term to the coefficient of quadratic term(). WUE increases with the rise of ET when ,conversely WUE decreases with the rise of ET when . Field experiment on spring corn yield response to water and fertilizer in the loess tableland of China showed that the form of Y=f(ET) appeared parabolic relationships at both high and low fertility levels,and high fertility plots had higher WUE and ET than low fertility ones under the same level of water supply. At high fertility plots in 1987,WUE increased with the rise of ET when ET< 472mm,reached to the maximum value of 16 3kg/ha.mm when ET =472mm,and decreased with the rise of ET when ET<472mm. The yield reached the maximum of 8 111kg/ha when ET = 524mm. MWUE always decreased with the rise of ET within the experimental range and dropped to zero when ET = 524mm. At low fertility plots,WUE reached the maximum value of 11 6kg/ha.mm when ET =436mm,and the maximum yield of 5 298kg/ha was gained when ET = 485mm; the WUE and the MWUE were similar to the ones of high fertility plots in the aspect of the changing trend.

    The gradual drop of soil fertility and stand productivity of Chinese fir plantation with the increase of continuous plantation would directly hamper its sustainable management. The major factors which hinder the sustainable management of Chinese fir plantation include not only the vulnerable subtropical red soil ecosystem which Chinese fir grow in, but also the unitary community structure and the biological characteristic of this artificial forest community. Additionally, the traditional culture system of Chinese fir including controlled burning lead to the degradation of soil ferti lity. According to the current situation of the Chinese fir plantation management, it is necessary to lower the disturbance intensity of culture system to the forest land, especially to avoid the controlled burning repeatedly. Meanwhile, experimental sustainable management models of Chinese fir plantation should be developed and evaluation indication system should be studied so as to identify sustainable management models suitable to artificial fir forests in different regions. This is of great significance to the sustainable management practice of forestland in southern China.

    In this paper,the characteristics of the spatial and temporal distribution of dew the formation mechanism of dew and the relation of dew to fog and inversion in the Xishuangbanna area are studied. In the meantime the agroclimatic significance of dew is analyzed. The results indicate that the annual dew day in the Xishuangbanna area may reach about 300 d and the maximum number of dew day in some year exceeds 340 d. The number of dew day assumes such a characteristic,namely,it is greater in dry season fromNov. to May than in rainy season from Jun. to Oct. The formation of dew in the area is mostly in the nightfall. At this time the radiation of the ground surface is strong and the temperature of the ground vegetation is lower than the dew point temperature of the air which it contacts. Thus the water vapour condenses into dew. The formation of dew not only weakens the inversion intensity near the ground but also partly reduces the formation possibility of the radiation fog. The occurrence of dew in the dry season is of great ecological importance to the growth of tropical plants in the area. It may partly miligate the rainfall insufficiency in the dry season,thus avoiding or weakening the occurrence of frostbite.

    According to the data base of Chinese environment resources,on the basis of the reearches on the changes of the Chinese farmland area in 10 years,the gravity centers of the farmland areas of two periods are calculated by using the method of the gravity center model. From this it is found that the gravity center of the Chinese farmland has moved 28 337 7km toward the northwest in 10 years. Then,on the basis of the fuzzy evaluation of the farmland ecological background,the quality index of the farmland ecological background is designed. By using this index the quantitative value of the decline of the Chinese farmland quality is calculated. The value is 2.52%,which is induced by the movement of the gravity center of the farmland.
