    Description: Recreational ecology is an internationally evolving research field addressing the high demand for nature-based tourism and recreation, and its environmental impacts. This review aimed to analyze the research effort of recreational ecology studies published in four renowned journals in the field, the Journal of Sustainable Tourism, Tourism Management, the Journal of Environmental Management, and Environmental Management. Between 1976 and 2017, this review identified 145 papers focused on recreational ecology. The majority of research investigated the direct impacts of terrestrial activities in protected areas, in particular the impacts of walking and hiking on vegetation and trail conditions, and the impacts of wildlife viewing. A conceptual model was developed to describe the varied relationships between nature-based tourists and recreationists and the environment. Future research in recreational ecology should broaden its agenda to increase knowledge on indirect and long-term impacts; including on cryptic or less popular species; establish more specifically how the intensity of impacts depends on the amount of use other than in trampling studies; extend to other geographic areas such as developing countries, and nature-based spaces that are less protected and exposed to high visitation such as urban environments. Importantly, a much stronger focus needs to be on interdisciplinary approaches incorporating both environmental and social science techniques to determine ways of how visitor experiential needs can be reconciled with environmental conservation concerns in a rapidly increasing tourism and recreation economy.

    Description: Throughout the world, areas have been reserved for their exceptional environmental values, such as high biodiversity. Financial, political and community support for these protected areas is often dependent on visitation by nature-based tourists. This visitation inevitably creates environmental impacts, such as the construction and maintenance of roads, tracks and trails; trampling of vegetation and erosion of soils; and propagation of disturbance of resilient species, such as weeds. This creates tension between the conservation of environmental values and visitation. This review examines some of the main features of environmental impacts by nature-based tourists through a discussion of observational and manipulative studies. It explores the disturbance context and unravels the management implications of detecting impacts and understanding their causes. Regulation of access to visitor areas is a typical management response, qualified by the mode of access (e.g., vehicular, ambulatory). Managing access and associated impacts are reviewed in relation to roads, tracks and trails; wildlife viewing; and accommodations. Responses to visitor impacts, such as environmental education and sustainable tour experiences are explored. The review concludes with ten recommendations for further research in order to better resolve the tension between nature conservation and nature-based tourism.

    Notes: Abstract The reaction of methane with surface oxygen as well as the interaction of methane/oxygen mixtures with a Rh(1 wt%)/γ-Al2O3 catalyst was studied by applying the temporal-analysisof-product (TAP) reactor. The product distribution was strongly affected by the degree of surface reduction. CO2 is formed as a primary product via a redox mechanism with the participation of surface oxygen. The dehydrogenation of methane yielding carbon deposits on the surface occurs on reduced surface sites. The formation of CO proceeds with high selectivity (up to 96%)at 1013 K via fast reaction of surface carbon species with CO2.

    Notes: Abstract Equations are derived which generalize the Laplace-Kelvin laws of force and chemical potential balance for a curved interface between a solid and its melt. The main difference from previous treatments are strain corrections in the equation of melting equilibrium, for which a simple physical picture is developed. These corrections are usually small, but they are essential in order to achieve an internally consistent formulation. When applied to sound transmission at the solid-superfluid interface of4He, they guarantee energy conservation thereby answering a paradox raised by Maris.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Wir präsentieren die Ergebnisse einer Untersuchung des Zussammenhangs von Metamiktisierung und U-Pb Isotopendiskordanz in Zirkonen mittles kombinierter SHRIMP-Ionenmikrosonden- und Ramanmikrosondenanalysen. Die räumliche Auflösung der verwendeten Analysensysteme, experimentell mit 200 μm3 (SHRIMP) und 80 μm3 (Ramansonde) bestimmt, gestattet den direkten Vergleich der in Mikrobereichen innerhalb von Zirkon-Einkristallen gemessenen Isotopendiskordanzen und Metamiktisierungsgrade. Wir zeigen, daß der während der SHRIMP-Analyse auf den Zirkon einwirkende Sauerstoffionenstrahl weder signifikante Amorphisierung noch Rekristallisation des benachbarten Zirkonmaterials im 1 μm-Bereich hervorruft. Es ist deshalb möglich, den Grad der Metamiktisierung eines Zirkon-Mikrobereiches auch in den SHRIMP-Analysengrübchen, d.h. erst nach dem Analysieren dieses Bereiches mit der Ionensonde, mittels hochauflösender Ramanmessungen unverfälscht zu bestimmen. Der Einsatz beider Mikromethoden liefert kombinierte Informationen zu den Gehalten und Verteilungen radioaktiver Elemente, zum Grad der Metamiktisierung und seiner Heterogenität und zur lateralen „Altersverteilung” innerhalb von Einzelkörnern. Wir weisen eine deutliche Korrelation des Grades der U-Pb-Isotopendiskordanz mit dem Grad der Metamiktisierung im Mikrobereich (15 μm Auflösung) nach. Dies stimmt mit früheren, an Einzelzirkonen und Populationen getätigten Beobachtungen überein, daß die Metamiktisierung von Zirkon dessen Potential zu sekundären Bleiverlusten erhöht.
    Notes: Summary We report results of a combined SHRIMP ion microprobe and Raman microprobe study of the correlation between metamictization and U-Pb isotopic discordance of zircon. The spatial resolution of the SHRIMP and Raman probe used are about 200 μm3 and 80 μm3, respectively. This allows a direct comparison of U-Pb isotopic discordance and metamictization of small areas within zircon crystals. We show that the impact of the oxygen ion beam on the zircon during the SHRIMP analysis does not cause significant amorphization or recrystallization in the remaining zircon on a scale of 1 μm. Consequently, it is possible to determine the initial degree of metamictization of zircon within and adjacent to a SHRIMP analytical spot by Raman microprobe measurements after performing SHRIMP analyses. A combination of the two microprobe techniques gives information on the concentration and distribution of radionuclides as well as the degree of metamictization and its heterogeneity and the lateral “age distribution” within the grain. We found that the degree of U-Pb isotopic discordance correlates closely with the degree of metamictization within single zircon grains, on a scale of 15 μm, which is consistent with previous results on the scale of single and multiple zircon grains showing that metamictization enhances the relative potential for secondary loss of radiogenic lead in zircon.

    Notes: Abstract The nature of surface sites responsible for methane activation and COx formation on Rh catalysts for the partial oxidation of methane to syngas was investigated. The interaction of H4 with Rh-black after oxidative and reductive pretreatments was studied applying (a) pulse experiments at reduced total pressure (10−4 Pa) and 1013 K in the temporal-analysis-of-product (TAP) reactor and (b) in situ DRIFTS at 973 K. The saturation of the metal surface sites with oxygen was found to inhibit methane dissociation. Direct methane oxidation to CO2 on the oxidized surface sites proposed earlier was excluded. Methane is first dissociated on reduced surface sites; the carbon species formed, then, react with surface oxygen to CO2. Rh sites responsible for methane activation are neither related to the formation of the Rh2O3 nor Rh0. Probably the partially oxidized species (Rh+) or highly dispersed Rh3+ entities act as active surface centers for the dissociation of methane. For supported catalyst, such sites are stabilized by the support, which on the other side acts as a source of active oxygen involved in the oxidation of surface carbon and hydrogen.

    Notes: Abstract For Na2O/CaO catalysts of different sodium content the adsorption of oxygen and their electrical properties were studied by transient experiments and measurements of contact potential differences (CPD) as well as electrical conductivity. CPD results show a change of the mechanism of oxygen activation with increasing sodium concentration due to changing the type of ionic conductivity from cationic to anionic. Anion vacancies are formed by incorporation of sodium into the CaO lattice. As CPDs show, the cation conductivity promotes an accumulation of oxygen species on the catalyst surface resulting in a decrease of C2 product selectivity for the catalyzed oxidative coupling of methane. The anion conductivity favors a dissociation of molecular adsorbed oxygen and a subsequent incorporation into the oxide lattice, hereby, decreasing its concentration on the catalyst surface which favors in term selective formation of ethane and ethylene.

    Notes: Abstract Reaction steps in the oxidation of CH4 to CO and H2 over a Rh(1 wt%)/γ-Al2O3 catalyst were studied using in situ DRIFTS at 973 K and 0.1 MPa. Product distribution and the resulting absorption band intensities of the respective adsorbates were strongly influenced by oxygen coverage and carbon deposits on the surface. CH4 is dehydrogenated to carbon deposits and H2 and is simultaneously oxidized to CO2 and H2O. OH surface groups in the support are involved in the CHx conversion to CO via reforming reaction. The reaction of surface carbon with CO2 was assumed to contribute to CO formation. Formate is a by-product of the reaction.
