生态足迹分析的基本概念

生态足迹分析的基本概念

生态足迹分析的基本概念生态生产性土地与全球生态标杆“生态生产性土地”是生态足迹分析法为各类自然资本提供的统一度量基础。

生态生产也称生物生产,是指生态系统中的生物从外界环境中吸收生命过程所必需的物质和能量转化为新的物质,从而实现物质和能量的积累。

生态生产是自然资本产生自然收入的原因。

自然资本产生自然收入的能力由生态生产力(ecological productivity)衡量。

生态生产力越大,说明某种自然资本的生命支持能力越强。

由于自然资本总是与一定的地球表面相联系,因此生态足迹分析用生态生产性土地的概念来代表自然资本。

所谓生态生产性土地(ecologically productive area)是指具有生态生产能力的土地或水体。

这种替换的一个可能好处是极大地简化了对自然资本的统计,并且各类土地之间总比各种繁杂的自然资本项目之间容易建立等价关系,从而方便于计算自然资本的总量。

事实上,生态足迹分析法的所有指标都是基于生态生产性土地这一概念而定义的。

根据生产力大小的差异,地球表面的生态生产性土地可分为6大类:(1)化石能源地(fossil energy land)生态足迹分析法强调资源的再生性。

从理论上讲,为了保证自然资本总量不减少,我们应该储备一定量的土地来补偿因化石能源的消耗而损失的自然资本的量。

但实际情况是,我们并没有作这样的保留。

所以,从这个角度来看,我们现在是在直接消费着资本。

(2)可耕地(arable land)从生态分析来看,可耕地是所有生态生产性土地中生产力最大的一类:它所能集聚的生物量是最多的。

根据联合国粮农组织(FAO)的报告,目前世界上几乎所有最好的可耕地,大约13.5亿hm2,都已处于耕种的状态;并且每年其中大约100万hm2的土地又因土质严重恶化而遭废耕。

这意味着,今天世界上平均每个人所能得到的可耕地面积已不足0.25hm2了。

(3)牧草地(pasture)即适用于发展畜牧业的土地。

个人生态足迹调查总结报告一引言城市化是社会发展的必然,是国家经济发展的必然。

人类和人类创造的城市、工厂、铁路等等,像一只脚踏在地球上,踏的脚印越大,证明人类对生态的破坏越严重,所以有人把这个称为生态足迹。

城市化的高速发展会引来一系列的环境问题,可以导致资源的枯竭、环境的污染和生态的破坏,可以威胁公众健康,吞噬经济成就,影响社会稳定,影响一个国家的生态安全和可持续发展。

因此,生态足迹在探讨人类持续依赖自然以及要怎么做才能保障地球的承受力,不仅可以用来评估目前人类活动的永续性,在建立共识及协助决策上有着积极的意义。

二报告概要生态足迹(ecological footprint)也称“生态占用”。

是指特定数量人群按照某一种生活方式所消费的,自然生态系统提供的,各种商品和服务功能,以及在这一过程中所产生的废弃物需要环境(生态系统) 吸纳,并以生物生产性土地(或水域) 面积来表示的一种可操作的定量方法。

它的应用意义是:通过生态足迹需求与自然生态系统的承载力(亦称生态足迹供给) 进行比较即可以定量的判断某一国家或地区目前可持续发展的状态,以便对未来人类生存和社会经济发展做出科学规划和建议。

此项调查中,我对自己近一个月以来的所有消费情况进行统计,处理得到的数据,再与相关数据进行比较,得出了一些结论。

三调查情况与资料整理以下数据是由近一个月来记录的数据进行相关处理得到的最终结果:具体记录:(见附页)平衡表:四结论由上图结果显示可知:本次调查得到的生态足迹为0.84ha/cap。

五结果分析与总结总体而言,这次的生态足迹调查结果偏低,原因我个人总结为如下:1.记录数据是有些误差,估计食物及其他消费品的重量时估计不准确造成结果偏低;2.计算时也有可能带来某些误差;3.由于无法准确记录每一天的生活用水,没有把用水算进去,而水又是生活中必不可少的一项重要消费,所以结果偏低;4.这只是个人生态足迹的调查,因为每个人的生活习惯不同,可能消费就不大相同,我平常习惯节俭,所以记录的最后结果偏低。

宏观农业作业

《宏观农业》作业一、简答题:1.如何理解农业生态系统服务价值;农业生态系统服务功能指农业生态系统及其生态经济过程向人类所提供的一系列功能与效益和所维持的人类赖以生存的环境。

长期以来人们对农业生产只注重直接服务价值,而忽略了整个生态系统至关重要的间接服务功能。

比如,对于传统的农业生产,由于生态系统服务价值没有纳入农户的生产成本里面,许多不合理农业生产措施造成了生态系统服务功能下降,使得传统农业的生态代价较大。

按照国际上生态系统服务价值的普遍分类方法,将其分为使用价值与非使用价值。

使用价值包括:①直接使用价值。

指农业生态系统向人类社会经济系统所提供的各种农产品及其副产品的市场价值。

②间接使用价值。

指农业生态系统在大气调节、维持生物多样性、农业废弃物处理与吸收、传粉播种、养分的循环与贮存、防止水土流失、以及景观审美等方面具有服务功能的价值。

非使用价值包括:①选择价值。

是人们为了将来能直接利用与间接利用某种生态系统服务功能的支付意愿。

例如,人们为将来能利用生态系统的涵养水源、净化大气以及游憩娱乐等功能的支付意愿。

②遗产价值。

为了保证下一代将来能够有机会享受、使用生态系统的服务而愿意支付的价值。

③存在价值。

存在价值亦称内在价值,是人们为确保生态系统服务功能能继续存在的支付意愿。

存在价值是介于经济价值与生态价值之间的一种过渡性价值,它可为经济学家和生态学家提供共同的价值观。

目前农业生态系统服务价值评价指标和核算方法主要有:农业生物产品服务价值评价;大气调节服务价值评价;环境净化价值评价;土壤保持价值评价;水分贮存价值评价;传粉播种价值评价;病虫草害防治价值评价;生物多样性及景观、娱乐、文化价值评价;非使用价值评价等。

2.生态足迹、碳足迹、水足迹的内涵及意义是什么?(1)生态足迹(英文:Ecological footprint,EF)就是能够持续地提供资源或消纳废物的、具有生物生产力的地域空间(biologically productive areas),其含义就是要维持一个人、地区、国家或者全球的生存所需要的或者能够只纳人类所排放的废物的、具有生物生产力的地域面积。

This increasing demand for natural resources, already far exceeds the Earth’s regeneration capacity.Unsustainable forms of consumption are part of creating this destructive pressure on the ecological system. Current consumption models, and the high and rising levels of individual consumption, ironically even threaten people’s health and quality of life.If our current and increasing consumption trends continue, we may need the equivalent of “two Earths” by 2030 to meet this increasing demand.But we only have one Earth. The only thing we can do is create more sustainable consumption models and lifestyles and, as a result, enable humans and nature to live in harmony.With fast economic development and urbanization, China’s ecological system and natural resources are facing great challenges. Our future use of natural resources, and the nature of our consumption model, will strongly influence the future of China and its people.In order to transform our economy towards more sustainable consumption, government at all levels, enterprises and other stakeholders will need to work together to create long-term commitments and joint solutions.This report looks at current consumption trends in China and provides suggestions for how to create and promote sustainable consumption as part of China’s goal to be an ecological civilization.Ecological Footprint and Sustainable Consumption in China3Ecological Footprint and Sustainable Consumption in China4As China’s economy rapidly expands,people’s incomes are improving and theirlevels of consumption rising. China’s largepopulation and current consumption modelis placing huge pressures on availableresources and the wider environment.China’s leadership is promoting ‘ecologicalcivilization’. This study supports this goalby looking at the impacts of China’s currentconsumption model and suggesting waysto promote sustainable consumption aswell as create appropriate and sustainableeconomic policy.In order to analyze the relationshipbetween China’s increasing consumptionand impacts on the environment, we haveused the ‘Ecological Footprint’, an effectivetool to measure people’s demand for, andconsumption of, natural resources. It trackshumanity’s demand on nature by comparingSUMMARY OF FINDINGShuman consumption with the Earth’sregenerative capacity or biocapacity. Wehave also looked at the different EcologicalFootprints across China and comparedthese with consumption drivers and trends.Our overall findings are that:● Although China’s per capita EcologicalFootprint is below the world average, ithas already exceeded a sustainable level.China’s overall Ecological Footprint is 2.5times its own biocapacity.● This report compares the EcologicalFootprint of China’s consumption withthat of the US, UK and South Africa. Thesecountries are chosen because they representtwo developed countries and an emergingeconomy in different geographical regions.● China has relatively inefficient resourceuse compared with the US, UK andSouth Africa. Every 1000 USD of Chineseconsumption generates about four a halftimes more Ecological Footprint than theUS and UK and over twice as much asSouth Africa. China will therefore need totransform to a model of consumption whichis much more resource-efficient.● If we look at the different contributionsof categories of consumption across thesesame four countries, China has relativelyless service consumption and relativelymore infrastructure investment. A shifttowards more services (which are relativelyresource-light), as well as a reduction inresource-intensive infrastructure, will helplower China’s Ecological Footprint.●Ecological Footprints vary considerablyacross China and the highest footprintareas tend not to have high biocapacityor Ecological Function Zones. ProvincesEcological Footprint and Sustainable Consumption in China5with high economic development and high Ecological Footprints therefore tend to consume not only their own biocapacity but that of others, particularly from those areas with high biocapacity which tend to also have low economic development, such as provinces in West China. It is therefore necessary to either reduce the environmental impact of resource use through, for example, sustainable certification and increasing consumer awareness, or by promoting forms of ecological compensation between areas. ●Urbanization is a major driving force of China’s ecological overshoot. Changing consumer trends for urban populations between 2000 and 2010 show a large increase in car ownership, as well as greater use of computers and the internet. China ranks the highest in the world forcarbon emissions. There seems to be a relative decline of cultural, education and recreational services as a proportion of the economy, indicating their relatively slow development compared to resource-intensive industries. There are also widening differences between the Ecological Footprints of urban and rural populations.There is therefore a need for government policy which creates and supports a sustainable system of consumption and production, promotes more service-based consumption, balances consumption levels between different geographical areas, and ensures urban planning with strongly reduced environmental impact.Ecological Footprint and Sustainable Consumption in China6The E c o l o g ic al F o o t print me as u re shumanity’s demand on the biosphere bycalculating the geographical area requiredto produce the renewable resources thatpeople consume (whether cropland, fishinggrounds, or grazing land), the area occupiedby infrastructure, and the area of forestrequired to sequester (or store) that part ofCO2 emissions from human activities thatis not absorbed by the oceans (Figure 1).This area is then compared with the Earth’sbiocapacity – the amount of productive areaavailable to generate the resources requiredas well as to absorb wastes.Both the Ecological Footprint and biocapacityare measured in ‘global hectares’ (gha). OneCHAPTER ONE: ECOlOGICAl FOOTPRINT UNDER GlObAl CONTExT1.1 Ecological Footprint And ConsumptionEcological Footprint for imported goods andservices minus that of exports. (See WWF’sChina Ecological Footprint Report 2012 forfurther details of the methodology.)If there is a biocapacity deficit, the extraresource use must therefore come fromtrade, whether within countries or throughimports from other countries, or from over-using current resources which affects theiravailability for future generations.To reduce the gap between local andnational Ecological Footprints and theavailable biocapacity, consumption levelswould need to reduce, and/or the efficiencyof resource-use in the creation of goods andservices dramatically increase.global hectare represents the productivecapacity of one hectare of available land atglobal average biological productivity levels.The ‘biocapacity deficit’ or surplus ofa country or region depends on therelationship between the EcologicalFootprint and the biocapacity of that regionor country. Biocapacity surplus existswhen the available biocapacity exceedsthe Ecological Footprint generated by thepeople living in that area. With a biocapacitydeficit the Ecological Footprint exceeds theavailable biocapacity.At the national level, the EcologicalFootprint is based on ‘net’ consumption,meaning that it takes into account theEcological Footprint and Sustainable Consumption in China7Figure 1 Components of the Ecological Footprint, Global Footprint Network.Every human activity uses biologically productive land and/or fishing grounds. The components of the Ecological Footprint are: cropland, grazing land, forest land, built-up land, fishing grounds and carbon.Data source: Global Footprint Network, 2011Ecological Footprint and Sustainable Consumption in China8Since around 1970, the world has been ina state of ecological overshoot (Figure 1.2).Human’s demand on the Earth’s ecosystemshas exceeded its regenerative capacity. In2008, the Earth’s total biocapacity was 12billion gha, or 1.8 gha per person, while theEcological Footprint worldwide was 18.2billion gha, or 2.7 gha per person.This means that it would take 1.5 years forthe Earth to fully regenerate the renewableresources that people use in one year. Inother words, we use the equivalent of 1.5Earths to support our current consumption.Nearly 90 countries have a per capitaEcological Footprint which is greater thanthe available global average biocapacity (1.8gha).Figure 1-2 Trends in global average per capita EcologicalFootprint and biocapacity from1961 to 2008(Data source: Global Footprint Network, 2011)1.2 Global Ecological Footprint:long- Term And Serious Overshoot9Asia's available biocapacity at 2.87 billion gha accounts for 24% of the world’s total. However, Asia's per capita biocapacity, at 0.72 gha, is less than half the world’s average, because of its high population. In fact, relative to other continents, Asia has the world’s lowest per capita biocapacity (Data source: Global Footprint Network).Asia’s large population (about 60% of the global population) creates 40% of the world’s Ecological Footprint. From 1961 to 2007, Asia's total Ecological Footprint increased nearly 340% to about 5.1 billion gha, while per capita Ecological Footprint increased by about 30% at the same time as Asia's total population more than doubled.1.3 The Ecological Footprint In Asia: Fast GrowthHowever, because of different economic development and consumption models, Ecological Footprints vary significantly. For example, the UAE has a per capita ecological footprint of 10.3 gha, the highest in the world, whilst Pakistan’s per capita Ecological Footprint is only 0.75 gha.Currently, Asia's Ecological Footprint is around 2.5 times that of its biocapacity. China has the largest total Ecological Footprint in the world, followed by India.Within Asia, this biocapacity deficit is closely related to the overuse of resources and loss of ecosystem services. The biocapacity deficit also arises from imports which embody resource use, therefore usingup other regions' biocapacity and land area. Countries in Asia tend to have net imports of biocapacity. In other words, they import more biocapacity than that used in exports. The biocapacity imported from other regions accounts for about 12% of Asia’s total Ecological Footprint.While population increase is an important reason for increasing total Ecological Footprint, the increase of per capita Ecological Footprint through consumption has played a significant role. Compared with other regions in the world, Asia has the fastest growing Carbon Footprint, a significant part of total Ecological Footprint.10CHAPTER TWO: CHINA'S CONSUMPTION ECOlOGICAl FOOTPRINT2.1 China’s Per Capita EcologicalFootprint Is 2.5 Times Its biocapacityChina's total biocapacity has remained stable over the last 50 years, although its per capita biocapacity has slightly declined in line with its population increase. At the same time, rapid economic development has caused China's Ecological Footprint, whether total amount or per capita volume, to sharply increase to become the highest in the world at 2.9 billion gha in 2008. Since 1970, the biocapacity deficit has continued to rise. In 2008, China's per capita Ecological Footprint reached 2.1 gha, 2.5 times as much as the available per capita biocapacity in the country of 0.87gha (Figure 2-1).Figure 2-1 China's per capita Ecological Footprint and biocapacity from 1961 to 2008(Data Source: Global Footprint Network, 2011)11In 2008, China's per capita Ecological Footprint was 2.1 gha, nearly 80% that of the global per capita average of 2.7 gha. However, China's per capita household consumption was 879 USD, less than 24% of global per capita expenditure by households. These differences suggest that China's per capita consumption of ecological resources per $ is relatively high, suggesting low resource-use efficiency (Figure 2.2). If these trends persist, its per capita natural resource consumption will very quickly exceed the average global level.2.2 China’s Resource Use Is Relatively Inefficient4.03.53.02.52.01.51.00.50Household final consumption expenditure,PPP in 2010/1,000USDPer Capita Ecological Footprint in2008/ ghaWorld ChinaKeyFigure 2-2 Comparison of China's and global per capita GDP and Ecological Footprint (2008)(Data Source:Institute of Geographical Sciences and Natural Resource Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences &World Bank WDI Database, 2008)12We can further explore China’s relative resource efficiency by looking at the relationship between per capita consumption and Ecological Footprint for China, the USA, UK and South Africa.Across these four countries, the level of Ecological Footprint is roughly proportional to per capita household and government consumption (Figure 2.3).If we look in more detail at the figures, in China, every 1000 USD of consumption produces 0.77 gha of Ecological Footprint. This impact is much higher than that of the US and UK at 0.17 gha and 0.16 gha respectively, and over twice as high as South Africa (0.35 gha) which is at a comparable level of development to China. This analysis supports the previous conclusion that China has a relatively low efficiency of resource use which therefore needs to increase in order to create more sustainable consumption and reduce environmental pressure.2.3 The Relative Resource Efficiency Of Consumption Expenditure Across Four CountriesPer capita consumption, PPP/ USD1,000P e r c a p i t a E c o l o g i c a l F o o t p r i n t /g h aFigure 2-3 Relationship between per capita consumption (PPP ) and per capita Ecological Footprint for China, the USA, UK and South Africa (Data Source: Institute of Geographical Sciences and Natural Resource Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences &World Bank WDI Database, 2008)8.007.006.005.004.003.002.001.000.0010.0020.0030.0040.0050.000.00South AfricaChinaUKUSA13Figure 2.4 shows that China has relatively l o w l e v e l s o f c u r r e n t c o n s u m p t i o n e xpe nditure compare d with capital investment if we look across China, USA, UK and South Africa.2.4 China Has Relatively lowConsumption Expenditure Relative To Investment In InfrastructureFigure 2-4 GDP components of China, the USA, UK and South Africa(Data Source: World Bank WDI Database,2010)140000.0120000.0100000.080000.060000.040000.020000.00.0-20000.0UKUSASouth AfricaChinaUSD 100 millionConsumption Expenditures Gross Investment Net ExportsKeyWe can also look at consumption-to-GDP levels. In 2010, China's household consumption accounted for 34.4% of GDP, while government consumption (mostly public procurement) accounted for 11.7%. Compared with consumption-to-GDP ratios in the USA and UK (both developedcountries) and in South Africa (emerging market), Figure 2-5 shows that China's household consumption-to-GDP ratio was the lowest among the four countries, and about half that of the USA and UK. According to China’s 12th Five-Year Plan, China's economic growth model will change from being investment and export-led to one driven by domestic demand. As a result, household consumption is likely to become the main driver of future growth in China's Ecological Footprint.19.7%59.8%23.1%64.4%17.5%70.9%11.7%34.4%UKUSA South AfricaFigure 2-5 Comparison of the consumption-to-GDPratios of China, the USA, UK and South Africa(Data Source: World Bank WDI Database, 2010)100.0%80.0%60.0%40.0%20.0%0.0%Government consumptionResident consumption ChinaKey1415T h e c o n s u m p t i o n e l e m e n t s o f t h e Ecological Footprint have been broken down by the Global Footprint Network into the household consumption categories of: clothing, food, housing, transport and services. Food consumption includes consumption inside or outside the home; residential consumption includes housing services, housing energy and water use as well as consumption of appliances and devices which improve comfort and convenience; transport can be direct or indirect (in other words household use or transport involved in moving goods and services); and services include cultural and entertainment services, medical and health care services, as well as use of public services. On these measures, food, housing and transport generate most of the world’s Ecological Footprint.Expenditure on food, transport and2.5 China Has Relatively less Service Consumptionhousing account for nearly 80% of per capita consumption in China, whereas in the USA, UK and South Africa, there is relatively more consumption of culture, entertainment and other services (Figure 2.6). Food consumption alone in China a c c o u n t s f o r 41% o f t h e E c o l o g i c a l Footprint, which is 10% higher than that in South Africa, also an emerging economy.The Ecological Footprint generated b y s e r v i c e c o n s u m p t i o n (i n c l u d i n g entertainment and recreation services) accounts for less than 10% of the total Ecological Footprint in many countries around the world. However, in developed countries, the output value of the service industry can account for nearly 80% of total economic value, indicating that service industries can generate relatively high economic benefits. At the same time, services tend to use fewer resources.In China, the output value of the service industry currently accounts for around 50% of GDP and the Ecological Footprint generates a relatively low economic value. This suggests that China's economic development and domestic consumption could include a greater proportion of services.16Figure 2-6 The impacts of different kinds of household consumption on the Ecological Footprints of China, USA, UK and South Africa.

Of these, Jiangsu and Zhejiang are also in the top five provinces for GDP per capita, while the other three also rank highly: Guandong (7th), Shandong (10th)although Henan is 23rd. Guangdong aloneaccounts for nearly 10% of the nationalEcological Footprint.The Tibet Autonomous Region, Qinghai,Ningxia, Hainan and Gansu togetheraccount for only about 3% of total EcologicalFootprint (Figure 3.2).

Of the sixprovinces and autonomous regions which have an ecological surplus, Tibet and Yunnan rank among the lowest 4 in per capita GDP.3.2 Provinces with high Ecological Footprints tend to have few or no Ecological Function ZonesIf we look at the Ecological Footprints of different provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions alongside the location of China’s Ecological Function Zones, there is a mismatch (Figure 3.5). For example, Guangdong, with an Ecological Footprint accounting for 10% of the national total, only has a functional zone for biodiversity in its northern mountainous area. Shandong, Jiangsu, Henan and Zhejiang have no national Ecological Function Zones, but the Ecological Footprint of these provinces respectively accounts for more than 5% of the national total.On the other hand, although Tibet, Qinghai, Ningxia and Gansu have the most important Ecological Function Zones in China, their Ecological Footprints together only account for less than 3% of the national total. To some extent, these variations reflect thedifferences between the east and westof China in terms of relative economicdevelopment and ecological function of thearea.Overall, this mismatch of EcologicalFunction Zones and regions of highEcological Footprint means that the latternot only use their own biocapacity butalso that of others, suggesting the need forgreater ecological compensation.Consumers often do not realize that theenvironmental impact of their goods andservices affects the natural resourcesand ecosystem services of other regions.China therefore also needs to promotesustainable product certification so thatconsumers can be encouraged to engagein sustainable consumption. Certificationenables consumers to know whether ornot particular goods have been producedsustainably throughout the entire supplychain. One example is that of a clear logo onthose products which have met standardsfor sustainable wood use as developedand promoted by the Forest StewardshipCouncil.22。

什么是生态足迹?What Is the Ecological Footprint?Humans need food, shelterand heating (in some locations)to survive. Our planet’s ecologicalresources help fulfill these needs. Buthow many resources do we 1)consume ? This question can be answered using the Ecological Footprint.Just as a bank statement tracks income against 2)expenditures , Ecological Footprint accounting measures a population’s demand for natural ecosystems’ supply of resources and services.On the demand side, the Ecological Footprint measures an individual or a population’s demand for plant-based food and 3)fiber products, livestock and fish products, timber and other forest products, space for urban infrastructure, and forest to absorb its carbon dioxide emissions from 4)fossil fuels.Spotlight/聚光灯On the supply side, a city,or nation’s biocapacity representsits biologically productive land andsea area, including forest lands, grazinglands, cropland, fishing grounds, and built-up land.The Ecological Footprint can be calculatedfor a single individual, city, country and the entireplanet.The gap between the Ecological Footprint andbiocapacity is determined by several factors. PersonalEcological Footprint is the product of how much we useand how efficiently this is being produced. The biocapacityper person is determined by how many hectares ofproductive area there is, how productive each hectare is, andhow many people (in a city, country, or the world) share thisbiocapacity.Many countries are “in the red”, which means they use more natural resources (Ecological Footprint) than their ecosystemscan regenerate (biocapacity). When a country’s biocapacity isgreater than its population’s Ecological Footprint, on the otherhand, the country boasts an “ecological reserve”.Nations (also cities) can run ecological deficits by liquidating their own resources, such as by overfishing; and emitting morecarbon dioxide into the atmosphere than their own ecosystems canabsorb.What is Earth Overshoot Day?When the entire planet is running an ecological deficit, we callit “overshoot”. At the global level, ecologicaldeficits and overshoot are the same, sincethere is no net import of resources to theplanet.Earth Overshoot Day marks the datewhen humanity’s demand for ecologicalresources and services (Ecological Footprint)in a given year exceeds what Earth canregenerate in that year (biocapacity).Overshoot occurs when:HUMANITY’S ECOLOGICALFOOTPRINT > EARTH’S BIOCAPACITY1) consume v.消耗2) expenditure n.经费;支出额3) fiber n.纤维4) fossil n.化石人类需要食物、住所和供暖(在某些地方)才能生存。
