    The new period refer to the time after the 1990s, roughly between 1990 to 1997. During the new period, the economy increased at the highest speed in China. Although economy and society all made a great achievement, many problems especially the resources and environment are becoming more and more serious. At present, all the provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions have worked out their own RD (regional development) strategy, but the RD state discrepancy is appearing obivously for the difference of the regional condition, development process and the cognition to the RD concept. The article selects twenty-seven indicators and set up the RD indicators system. All the indicators are divided into four types including economy progress, social development, resource-environment insurance and the SD capacity. Then this paper calculates the numerical values of all the provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions and discussed the economy progress, social development, resource-environment insurance and the SD capacity of all the regions in China. At the basis of above discussion, the paper divides all the provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions into six basic-type area (BATs) of RD State. The BTAs include: I-synthetical development state is the best; Ⅱ-synthetical development state is better; Ⅲ-synthetical development state is better medium; Ⅳ-synthetical development state is less medium; Ⅴ-synthetical development state is worse; Ⅵ-synthetical development state is the worst. In the mean well, this paper analyses the state of regional development of the six BTAs. At last this paper gives some policy suggestions: (1) Althogh the synthetical development state of the east part of China is better, there are crisis of resources and environment. Environment civilization should be stressed and tough environmental policies should be carried out as well; its economic development should be moderate, too. The keystone is the industries structure upgrading and technique diffusion being widened. The development of all the industries, which cost more energy and pollute severely, should be brought under control. (2) The middle part of China should choose the way to combine progress with preservation, implement stretch environment polices. Its economic progress should not stop and the strength of environment protection cam mpt redice. In the regions where resources are relatively rich such as Inner Mongolia, Shanxi Province, the keystones of development is the improvement of infrastructure and the investing environment, the natural resources, the keystones of development is the improvement of infrastructure and the investing environment, the natural resources is exploited in a reasonable way. Its main target is to restore economic increase and improve its progressing quantity gradually. (3) As a result of the strict of exploiting condition, a certain resources advantage in the west part of China is not so well as the image of some persons. In fact, the huge cost during the cosmically exploitation of natural resources in west part of China have proved a reality, that there is not suitable to arrange large projects of resources-processing. For the west part, the target is to reinforce the exploitation of parts of resource, improve its infrastructure, enhance people’s living standards, get rid of the threatening of poverty for the future. (4) due to the huge regional discrepancy of development state in China, we should stress the importance of maintain the harmonious relationship between population, recouces and environment in different regional scale.

    In the last two decades, China has become one of the areas that have the greatest potential in industrial production, thus it has ranked second only to USA in the flow of international capital. By the end of 1998, the real value of FDI in China has utilized has added up to $268. 1 billion. The big flow of FDI has not only promoted the development of economy, but it has also worsened the existing regional difference by choosing spatial location. Under this circumstance, our economy faces new restrictions and opportunities while adjusting its regional structure and industrial structure. So it is more and more important for us how to seize the opportunity, to seek the regularity of FDI in choosing location from the aspect of space, to set up relevant strategy to direct FDI at inland regions (areas deficient of capital), and to make appropriate policies, esp. the industrial and regional policies so as for FDI to exert positive influence and avoid negative influence on China and its regional economy and society. Based on the latest domestic and overseas materials and datum of the FDI in China, combining with the investigation of the enterprises, this paper has systematically revealed the progress of development of the FDI in China and the developing conditions of the main enterprises directly invested by foreign capital since the reform and opening-up in China. The characters of FDI such as spatial concentration, transference as time goes by, change of the technical content and up-gradation of industrial structure and their forming mechanism have been studied. Then the basic conclusions have been made as follows. Firstly, FDI has been highly concentrated in space. But as time goes by, it has been transferring from coastal regions to inland ones, from big cities to their surrounding districts, and the degree of concentration is decreasing. Secondly, the technical content of the invested projects has gradually increased and the up-gradation of the industrial structure is obvious. Thirdly, the regional choice of the FDI in China is mainly affected by labor and other productive factors. The relative change of the cost of productive factors in different regions since the reform and opening-up is one of the main factors that have caused the spatial transference of the FDI in China. Fourthly, as people’s income increases and the accumulation of the capacity of the technique and labor advances, FDI whose aim is to get more market has increased and tended to transfer from coastal regions to inland ones. Fifth, the changes of the industrial structure of the main areas and countries who have directly invested in China and the changes of inter-regional industries and regional policies in China are also the important factors that affect the industries directly invested by foreign capital and their and their spatial transference.

    From the development history of modern agriculture in the world, we can see that, before the middle age of the 20th century, the developed industrial countries must import foods, agricultural products from the undeveloped industrial countries to sustain themselves. But in the later stage of the 20th century, this condition has changed, the developed industrial countries often export a great deal of foods and agricultural products to the undeveloped industrial countries. In the middle age of the 20th century, since the arable land area of developed countries has not increased obviously, the main reason is technology, including the input of precision agriculture technology that developed stage by stage. It can continuously promote the productivity and utility rate of agriculture resources, explore the potential of agriculture, and decrease the cost, at the same time has reduced the environmental pollution caused by agricultural chemical materials. Thus it attained the synchronal increase of economic, social and ecological benefits and realized the sustainable development of agriculture. The precision farming is a method that introduces the accuracy of technology into the production of agriculture. Based on the difference of growing condition, production of crops and so on, it applies the technology of GIS, GPS and intelligent machine to manage the production information of agriculture and regulate or control the input to the farm, and get the proposal of increasing benefits, avoiding the waste of resources, reducing the pollution to the environment and so on. Nowadays, the developed countries have mainly realized the technology of precision farming and many developing countries have also evolved in the application studies and experimental demonstration. To be the main agriculture and most populated country in the world, in order to satisfy the need of economic development and the continually increase of the standard of peoples living conditions and to maintain the sustainable development of agriculture, China should start experimenting and demonstrating on the precision farming promptly, generalize the technology of precision farming step by step, find a way to develop the effective ecological agriculture, and try hard to catch up the tidal current of the revolution of new agriculture technology in the world.

    Suburbanization is the new characteristics of contemporary Chinese urbanization, that remarked the internal structure of Chinese cities has changed to sparse multi-core structure from single core. Based on a questionnaire survey of Dalian citizens during July 1995, this thesis studies the characteristics, mechanisms and tendency of suburbanization of residence in Dalian City. The questionnaire investigation are made in four residential areas which are typical in period of construction, type of housing and mode of population growth respectively. Chunhai area which located in the old inner city is a typical worker residential area; Zhongcun area which was constructed in 1950’s is also a worker resident-tial one; The other two areas locate in the suburban area, but Linmao area is a cadre residential area and Paoya is a mixed resiential area with both workers and cadres (Fig. 2). Questionnaires were distributed through "street offices" to 400 households mainly composed of working couples and 357 adequate responses were collected and used in the study. Based upon the analyze of mobility, spatial patterns and causes of migration, the authors draw out the status quo and the micro mechanism of the surburbanization of residence. All of the candidates migrate 2. 11 times in average, with almost half of candidates migrate only once, which proves that the residents in Dalian City show a lower mobility. This characteristic of migration is tightly correlative with the causes of moving, that is, most of the migration in the research areas results from the achievement of home from DANWEI (working unit). There is a long way to go before Dalian City get into the stage when the resients are voluntarily to migrate to suburban area, because only about ten percent of candidates migrate voluntarily by house-purchasing or by pooling money to build houses. But what we should pay attention to is that the ratio of voluntary migration is rising in newly constructed residential area, such as Paoya. In the view of the spatial pattern of migration, the type of moving from the core area to the suburban areas is dominate. The tendency of suburbanization of residence can be drawn out from the investigation of intention of residential migration towards the suburban areas and the analyze of its potential motives. About 86 percent of candidates prefer to the core and the adjacent areas if possible, and none of them want to move to the outer suburban towns or villages. Therefore, Dalian City will suffer a hard time to guide residents to live scattered. In the future, the most important potential motives for Dalian City’s residents to migrate towards suburban areas consist of the dissatisfaction with the housing itself and its environment. In shore, Dalian City has already had some signs of suburbanization of residence since 1980s’ the renewal of the old city. The main characteristics of such suburbanization are most of the intra-urban migrations be forced or organized by DANWEI(working unit) and government but not voluntary for the residences themselves, and the destinations are the inner suburbs instead of the outer, then it can be said that now, Dalian City is in a transitional period of the urban internal residence structure. The process of moving from the older built-up area to inner suburb can be seen the first stage of suburbanization of residence. According to the master plan of the city, the process would be continuing till about 2010. When the constructions of newer residential areas in inner suburb be completed in future, the destinations of intra-urban migration should be the new city proper, and the distances of such moving will be prolonged and most migrations will be voluntary. The author considered that the new process would begin roughly at 2010 is the second stage of suburbanization of residence in Dalian City.

    The Nansi Lake, which lies along the Grand Canal and in the southwest part of Shandong Province, is the name for the four lakes as: Zhaoyang Lake, Nanyang Lake, Dushan Lake and Weishan Lake. Based on the study of the historical records, this paper describes the evolution processes of the Nansi Lake and analyzes the historical background for the changes. It points out that the four lakes all underwent different evolution process. Among them Zhaoyang Lake came out first. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644A. D.) it was one of the important watersupply places for its western canal in Shandong Province. However, with the canal route being changed to its east in order to avoid the intrusion of the Huanghe River flood in 1567A. D., Zhaoyang Lake’s function changed. It became an accommodation for both the Huanghe River flood and the superfluous water of the canal. From 1723 A. D. Zhaoyang Lake also received the sand from the canal for the safety of the dyke of the canal. With the increasing muddy sediments of the Huanghe River flood and the expansion of the inning area in its basin, also without its primary water resources, Zhaoyang Lake became smaller and smaller. After the canal route had changed, an artificial tank for protecting the canal from the attack of its eastern hilly riptide was needed. Dushang Lake was born for this purpose. Dushang Lake had another name as Nanyang Lake at the turn of the Ming and the Qing dynasties. As a result, some people mistake modern Nanyang Lake for Dushang Lake and think the emergence of modern Nanyang Lake much earlier. In fact, it was the blockage of its backward position that gave birth to the modern Nanyang Lake. This happened only about 250 years ago. At first, the area of Weishan Lake consisted of several lakes. As the governor of the Qing Dynasty took it as the most important water-supply place for the canal and set up strict rule of water control for it, Weishan Lake became a united big lake about 1740A. D. The lower terrain was another reason for its extension. These changes are considered related closely with the Huanghe River flooding, the canal route changing and the human activities.

    The contiguous area of shaanxi-gansu-ningxia, a typical western underdeveloped area, has abundant energy and mineral resources; its location is still nearer from eastern China among most parts of western China, and its greater part belongs to old liberated areas. However its economy is very backward, the problem of dualistic economy structure is serious, and its ecosystem is extreme disturbance. In strategy of development of this area, we should implement such strategic thinking─unify the benefits in three aspect of state, area and ecology; develop with multi-dimension; advance urbanization and geographic construction beforehand; push the area forward with the help of exterior forces. Accordingly, we should practise the strategic pattern of coordination-inclination development with starting up market as guidance.

    The relationship between vegetation and tourism industry in the Tianlong Mountains was analyzed in this paper. Five standards─sensitive level, community landscape importance value, information index of species diversity, tourist impact index and proportion of plants accompanied with mankind was used. The results show that sensitive level has inverse relation to landscape importance value and information index; tourist impact index is positively related to the rate of plants accompanied with mankind. These facts indicate the regularity of tourist has an impact on vegetation objectively. It is practical to use these above methods to appraise tourist impacts on vegetation.

    In arid area of northwest China, the NaF and KF are extensively distributed in the natural water, such as rivers, lakes and groundwater. From mountains to silt plain along with the formation, runoff and disappear of inland rivers, the distributing regularity of F- can be markedly divided into three hydrochemical zones: drench and dissolution-runoff zone, runoff-evaporation zone, dissolution-evaporation zone. In the low-lying land and desertification edge with Lacustrine sediments deposited from Cretaceous and lower Pleistocene of Quaternary period, the contains of F- in groundwater was high with the vertical distributing pattern of larger in lower and letter in upper. There are close relationship between high F- and the hydro-chemical characteristics. Generally, in the alkali water with lower contains of So42- such as Cl稨CO3-Na or HCO3-Na types, the F- can be easily dissolved and rich in water. The arid climatic conditions, rich source of Fluorine and relatively close hydrological environment provide the advantage of F- to dissolution, transformation and rich in some regions.

    Biandukou and Haxi section recorded climatic changes in Holocene, Eastern Qilian Mountains. Susceptibility, organic carbon content and CaCO3 content are used as excellent proxies to summer monsoon, mainly the precipitation. Compared with the Dunde ice-core record, used as the thermal proxy, here we can rebuild the hydro-thermal characteristic in Holocene in this region. During the 7.2-6.0 Ka B. P., in eastern China and many other regions, climate characteristic was high temperature and high precipitation. But, in eastern Qilian Mountains, this period was not the optimum, it’s only relatively suitable. The climate optimum took place during 5.2-4.0 ka B. P., not in the same time with Megathermal Maximum. Significant environment deterioration took place in 4.0 ka B. P. and 3.0 ka B. P., but the former was more distinct than the latter. So we took 4.0 ka B. P. as the boundary of the middle Holocene and the late. Changes of ancient civilizations serviced as another proof for climatic changes. In 2.0-1.0 ka B. P., scores of climatic proxies showed another climate suitable period, but the leaching depth of CaCO3 was shallow and the Dunde ice-core recorded the drop of temperature. Analysis of modern weather data shows that humidity has an incline to drop beyond a certain high temperature in arid and semi-arid region. While in subhumid regions, humidity increases with the increase of temperature and this may give the possibility of the assembly of high temperature and high humidity as now as in the middle Holocene(7.2-6.0 ka B. P.). Environment qualities in arid and semi-arid regions mainly depend on water since it is the most important in all the factors. So temperature and humidity would not reach their maximum simultaneously in the studied area.

    In the present paper general method of Palyno-Geography is first reported according to the principle of the unity between the phylogeny and distribution of pollen types in plants. The family Polygonaceae is one of the core (or key) groups for studying the Palyno-Geography. It is an important taxon for the botanists owing to its strong differentiation of grass and pollen morphological characters. The general method of Palyno-Geography is divided into the following four parts: (1) accurate description of pollen types, (2) definition of phylogeny of pollen types, (3) statistics of geographical distribution of pollen types, (4) distribution pattern of pollen types. According to all these research results, some problems are solved on the centre of distribution regions, the centre of secondary distribution regions, the centre of development, the area of origin, migration route. The centre of distribution regions is determined by the following two principles: a. a large number of pollen types of a taxon concentrate in a district, namely the centre of the majority; b. pollen types of a district can reflect the main stages of the systematic evolution of a taxon in pollen. The area of origin is determined by the following two principles: a. the centre of distribution regions; b. the primitive pollen types have mostly distributed in the region. The distribution patterns of each pollen type are able to be recognized after analyzing the geographical distribution of the plants of each pollen type. The migration routes may be recognized on the basis of the distribution patterns of each pollen type and the analyses of the origin area. On the basis of the geographical distribution of 110 taxa of 28 pollen types of 14 genera in Polygonaceae of China, Southwest China is considered as the orgin area and the development centre of Polygonaceae except the tribe Atraphaxideae; Kazakstan is considered as the distribution centre and origin centre of the genus Atraphaxis. According to the study on Palyno-Geography of Polygonaceae, six migration routes may be recognized.

    General changes of soil organic matter content and its variations under different utilizing patterns after reclamation were analyzed and evaluated by the dynamic and comperative methods at the Qianyanzhou Experimental Station of Chinese Academy of Sciences. The results show that the soil organic matter content of Qianyanzhou Experimental Station which has a typical characteristic of low hilly red soil of the southern China was generally a tendency towards increase with a mean change from 14.78 g/kg to 15.13 g/kg after 11-year’s reclamation. The organic matter content of sandy red soil, paddy soil, and chao soil, which were a low native organic matter content, increased by 1.41 g/kg, 2.44 g/kg and 2.50 g/kg, respectively; yet those of silty red soil and umbrihumus chao soil, which were a high native organic matter content, decreased by 1.78 g/kg and 3.98 g/kg, respectively. The changes of soil organic matter content were also different from the utilizing patterns with an increase of paddy field, vegetable land and grassland by 2.04 g/kg, 4.01 g/kg, 7.32 g/kg, and a decrease of upland, Chinese fir land and uncropped land by 4.93 g/kg, 2.98 g/kg, 3.68 g/kg, respectively. The soils of different slope positions, with a different soil type and utilizing characteristics, have a different organic matter storages by the most of artificial forest land on the top, middle of paddy fields on the lower and gentle slopes and vally plains, lowest of upland and orchard soils on the hill sides.

    For recent years reclamation technique has been rationally employed in collapse sites, Fushun coal mine. Collapse sites that had lost original land function were refilled with coal gaugue, then covered with soil, making them cropland. After reclamation, soil nutriton was gradually rising, physical features and struction of the soil were thus formed, and even improved. Heavy metals (Pb, Cu, Cd, As) in the tap soil were decreasing with weathering and leaching. Nutrient elements (N, P, K) have been obviously accumulated in the top soil, their contents have reached to "National standard of land reclamation technique in China". At the same time, such solid waste as coal gangue was buried in the underground, which can play a role in controlling and preventing environmental pollution. It is very useful for obtaining economic, social and ecological benefits. The model for reclamation and ecological restoration in the collapse sites in Fushun coal mine proposed in the paper sets a good example for other mine areas in northeast region, even whole China.

    In order to conserve wetland resources and make sustainable utilization, Xianghai nature reserve in Jilin Province, one of the national key wetlands, should be categorized scientifically again. The conservation targets of Xianghai nature reserve should be made clear and its function zones should be delimited reasonably. Also we should intensify conventional monitoring, basic study and monographic study on wetland ecosystem. It is important to set up scientific index system of wetland resources development EIA (environmental impact assessment) and implement it. The evaluation must lay stresses on long term impact, impact between generations and demonstrating measures of protection, compensation and remedy. To make tourism development sustainablely in reserve, drawing up program on tourism development, carrying out ecotourism and strengthening management system are also needed.
