Sustainable and just environmental management depends on meaningful consideration of the plural values of nature, as they arise in association with diverse worldviews and understandings of well-being. To achieve value pluralism in decision-making, we must also attend to knowledge pluralism, in terms of recognizing the validity and decision relevance of a broader suite of knowledge forms that convey diverse understandings of well-being and benefit. In this article, we outline a social learning tool – the Benefits Knowledges Learning Framework – that supports expanded thinking about decision-relevant, actionable knowledge, and the associated spectrum of available opportunities to learn from these diverse knowledge forms across phases of decision-making. It does so through: 1) cultivation of reflexivity and mutual learning about the knowledge systems of diverse actors involved in the decision process; 2) identification of diverse benefits knowledge forms that are available to inform decision-making; and 3) identification of opportunities to learn from these knowledge forms. Diverse forms of benefits knowledge include both knowledge products (documentation) and knowledge practices (lived and embodied). The framework can be applied to retrospective case analysis to understand and learn from constraints and enabling factors in past decision processes. It can also be applied to assess on-going decision-making and identify current opportunities for improvement. The framework begins with a start-up phase that encourages those applying the framework to address any concerns raised by stakeholders and rightsholders and determine whether framework application is appropriate in a particular context.
可持续和公正的环境管理取决于有意义地考虑自然的多元价值,因为它们与不同的世界观和对福祉的理解有关。为了实现决策中的价值多元化,我们还必须关注知识多元化,即认识到传达对福祉和利益的不同理解的更广泛的知识形式的有效性和决策相关性。在本文中,我们概述了一种社会学习工具——利益知识学习框架,它支持对决策相关的、可操作的知识的扩展思考,以及相关的可用机会,以便在决策的各个阶段从这些不同的知识形式中学习。它通过:1)培养反身性和相互学习参与决策过程的不同行动者的知识系统;2)识别可用于决策的各种利益知识形式;3)识别从这些知识形式中学习的机会。各种形式的利益知识包括知识产品(文档)和知识实践(生活和具体化)。该框架可以应用于回顾性案例分析,以理解和学习过去决策过程中的制约因素和使能因素。它也可用于评价正在进行的决策和确定当前的改进机会。该框架从启动阶段开始,该阶段鼓励应用该框架的人解决利益相关方和权利持有人提出的任何问题,并确定框架应用是否适用于特定环境。

This article examines the longstanding conflict between the Mapuche people and the forestry industry in Chile through a dual framework of Environmental Justice (EJ) and historical analysis. By situating recognition, procedural, and distributive justice within the context of colonial legacies, we highlight how ahistorical EJ approaches fail to address socio-environmental trade-offs in settler colonial contexts. Our fieldwork, which included interviews and observations in Mapuche communities affected by forestry, reveals contrasting perceptions of ecosystem services (ES) among stakeholders. While forestry companies prioritize provisioning services like timber production, Mapuche communities emphasize relational values tied to native forests, such as spiritual fulfillment and cultural heritage preservation. These divergences underscore systemic recognition injustices and procedural exclusions that perpetuate distributive inequities. We argue that meaningful engagement with Indigenous knowledge and histories is crucial for fostering equitable ES governance. By integrating EJ perspectives into ES frameworks, our study contributes to the decolonization of ES research and offers insights into resolving socio-ecological conflicts in Indigenous territories.
本文通过环境正义(EJ)和历史分析的双重框架考察了智利马普切人与林业之间的长期冲突。通过在殖民遗产的背景下定位承认,程序和分配正义,我们强调了非历史的EJ方法如何未能解决定居者殖民背景下的社会环境权衡。我们的实地调查,包括对受林业影响的马普切社区的访谈和观察,揭示了利益相关者对生态系统服务(ES)的不同看法。虽然林业公司优先考虑提供木材生产等服务,但马普切社区强调与原始森林有关的关系价值,如精神满足和文化遗产保护。这些分歧强调了使分配不平等永久化的系统性认识不公和程序性排斥。我们认为,有意义地参与土著知识和历史对于促进公平的ES治理至关重要。通过将EJ观点整合到ES框架中,我们的研究有助于ES研究的非殖民化,并为解决土著地区的社会生态冲突提供见解。

In recent years, the shrinkage of terminal lakes in Central Asia has triggered environmental degradation and disrupted the supply of critical ecosystem services (ES). Understanding the tradeoffs and synergies among ES in these basins is essential for promoting sustainable regional development and enhancing ecological resilience. This study quantified the spatiotemporal dynamics of five major ES: soil conservation, sand fixation, water yield, carbon storage, and habitat quality using process-based ecosystem models. A Bayesian Network model was constructed to disentangle the effects of natural and anthropogenic influences on ES and identify their dominant drivers. To further characterise ES interactions, we developed a directional tradeoff/synergy strength index that captures both the intensity and directionality of inter-ES relationships. The results revealed spatially heterogeneous tradeoff patterns, with certain ES pairs exhibiting strong conflicts despite sharing similar drivers. Scenario-based optimisation highlighted regional differences in ES priorities, for instance, balancing carbon storage and water yield in the Amu Darya Basin, and managing the interplay of sand fixation, water yield, and soil conservation in the Ili River Basin. These findings provide a decision-support basis for targeted ecosystem management in arid terminal lake regions.
近年来,中亚末端湖泊的萎缩引发了环境退化,并扰乱了关键生态系统服务(ES)的供应。了解这些流域生态系统之间的权衡和协同作用对于促进区域可持续发展和增强生态复原力至关重要。本研究采用基于过程的生态系统模型,量化了土壤保持、固沙、水量、碳储量和生境质量5个主要生态系统的时空动态。构建贝叶斯网络模型,理清自然和人为影响对ES的影响,并确定其主导驱动因素。为了进一步表征ES相互作用,我们开发了一个定向权衡/协同强度指数,该指数可以捕捉ES内部关系的强度和方向性。结果显示了空间异质性的权衡模式,尽管共享相似的驱动因素,但某些ES对表现出强烈的冲突。基于场景的优化突出了生态系统优先事项的区域差异,例如阿姆河流域的碳储量和水量平衡,以及伊犁河流域固沙、水量和土壤保持的相互作用管理。研究结果可为干旱末端湖区生态系统定向管理提供决策支持依据。

River deltas around the world have experienced ecological decline due to upstream development and human activities. However, assessing the monetized benefits of ecosystem restoration is challenging due to the less tangible nature of many values that people hold for these natural areas. This paper quantifies the non-use values for river delta ecological conservation using a stated preference survey. The empirical application is the Saskatchewan River Delta in Canada where we develop and administer a national survey to elicit people’s preferences for restoration scenarios with changing fish and wildlife population levels and changes in the extent of habitat in good ecological condition. We find that Canadians are willing to pay for river delta restoration improvements, and preferences for restoration options are heterogeneous across the population. Models with nonlinear attribute levels fit the choice data better than linear attribute specifications suggesting the presence of diminishing marginal willingness to pay as ecological improvements increase. The annual monetized benefits for Saskatchewan River Delta future scenarios are estimated to be $79 to $223 per household depending on the level of restoration efforts. This study contributes to the empirical evidence that the benefits of nature accrue to people that live far away from natural areas.
由于上游开发和人类活动,世界各地的河流三角洲都经历了生态衰退。然而,评估生态系统恢复的货币化效益是具有挑战性的,因为人们对这些自然区域持有的许多价值不太有形。本文采用陈述偏好调查方法量化了河流三角洲生态保护的非利用价值。我们以加拿大萨斯喀彻温河三角洲为研究对象,开展并管理了一项全国性调查,以了解人们对鱼类和野生动物种群水平变化以及良好生态条件下栖息地范围变化的恢复方案的偏好。我们发现,加拿大人愿意为河流三角洲的修复改善支付费用,并且不同人群对修复方案的偏好存在差异。具有非线性属性水平的模型比线性属性规范更适合选择数据,这表明随着生态改善的增加,边际支付意愿存在递减。萨斯喀彻温河三角洲未来的年度货币化收益估计为每户79至223美元,具体取决于恢复工作的水平。这项研究提供了经验证据,证明远离自然地区的人也能从自然中受益。

Mitigating typhoon damage with wetlands: estimating the typhoon protection value of intertidal and inland wetlands in China 以湿地减轻台风灾害:中国潮间带湿地和内陆湿地的防台风价值估算

For decades, China has been suffering from frequent typhoon strikes. To protect population and property in coastal areas from typhoon-induced losses, wetlands are of great importance. Wetlands mitigate the impact of typhoons by surge energy absorption and flood regulation. However, currently there are only a few comprehensive studies on the protection value of intertidal and inland wetlands against typhoons. In this study, we used two economic regression models to evaluate 92 typhoon cases that occurred in China from 2000 to 2020 and the economic losses they caused. The results indicate that both intertidal and inland wetlands can effectively reduce the economic losses. In addition, we compared the typhoon protection value of intertidal wetlands with that of inland ones. The results show that the average marginal values of intertidal and inland wetlands against typhoons are respectively CNY 23.652 million/km2 and 1.261 million/km2 (with median values of CNY 10.537 million/km2 and 0.605 million/km2, respectively). We also analyzed the typhoon protection value of wetlands at the city level. Although inland wetlands provide relatively lower value compared to intertidal wetlands, they still play an important role in mitigating the economic losses caused by typhoons and thus should not be overlooked. Wetland conservation is not only a cost-effective way to largely reduce typhoons damage, but also provides many other valuable ecosystem services.
几十年来,中国一直遭受频繁的台风袭击。为了保护沿海地区的人口和财产免受台风造成的损失,湿地是非常重要的。湿地通过吸收潮涌能量和调节洪水来减轻台风的影响。然而,目前关于潮间带和内陆湿地对台风的保护价值的综合研究还很少。本研究采用两种经济回归模型对2000 ~ 2020年中国发生的92次台风及其造成的经济损失进行了评估。结果表明,潮间带湿地和内陆湿地都能有效减少经济损失。此外,我们还比较了潮间带湿地与内陆湿地的防台风价值。结果表明:潮间带和内陆湿地对台风的平均边际值分别为2365.2万元/km2和126.1万元/km2(中位数分别为1053.7万元/km2和600.5万元/km2);分析了城市湿地的防台风价值。与潮间带湿地相比,内陆湿地的价值相对较低,但在减轻台风造成的经济损失方面仍发挥着重要作用,不容忽视。保护湿地不仅是一种经济有效的方法,大大减少台风的破坏,而且还提供许多其他有价值的生态系统服务。

Horizontal ecological compensation (HEC) offers many advantages over vertical ecological compensation by reducing government financial burdens, effectively addressing positive externalities and ecosystem service spillover effects, and fostering harmonious relations between upstream and downstream communities. However, a lack of reliable data remains a significant obstacle to its implementation. This study employs the InVEST model, the CASA model, the RWEQ model, and related statistical methods. Additionally, the Breaking Point Model and Field Strength Theory are used to assess eight key ecosystem services and their spillover effects at different spatial scales, with the aim of informing cost-benefit sharing and HEC mechanisms in and around the Qilian Mountains, China. Our results suggest that: (1) Soil conservation contributes the most to ecosystem services, accounting for 47.26%, followed by water retention (17.52%) and carbon sequestration (15.62%). (2) Forests (48.51%) and grasslands (39.22%) are the primary ecosystem types providing these services. (3) The ecosystem services exhibit significant internal coupling, peripheral coupling, and tele-coupling, creating spillovers at watershed, provincial, and even global scales. (4) In terms of the scope of the spillover effect, tourism and leisure lead, followed by sandstorm prevention, material production, water retention, soil conservation, flood regulation, carbon sequestration, and pollination services. From these data, we also constructed three HEC pathways: intra-provincial watersheds, inter-provincial HEC, and international HEC. Our findings are useful for developing a fair and well-functioning HEC mechanism that offers multiple environmental and social benefits, contributing to the realization of several UN Sustainable Development Goals (SGDs) such as eliminating poverty (#1), zero hunger (#2), climate action (#13), and life on land (#15).
横向生态补偿在减轻政府财政负担、有效解决正外部性和生态系统服务溢出效应、促进上下游社区和谐关系等方面具有纵向生态补偿的诸多优势。然而,缺乏可靠的数据仍然是实施该计划的一个重大障碍。本研究采用InVEST模型、CASA模型、RWEQ模型及相关统计方法。此外,利用断点模型和场强理论对祁连山及其周边地区8种关键生态系统服务功能及其在不同空间尺度上的溢出效应进行了评估,旨在为祁连山及其周边地区的成本效益分享和HEC机制提供信息。结果表明:(1)土壤保持对生态系统服务的贡献最大,占47.26%,其次是保水(17.52%)和固碳(15.62%)。(2)森林(48.51%)和草地(39.22%)是提供这些服务的主要生态系统类型。(3)生态系统服务具有显著的内部耦合、外围耦合和远程耦合,在流域、省乃至全球尺度上产生溢出效应。(4)从外溢效应的范围来看,旅游休闲的外溢效应最大,其次是防沙、物资生产、保水、保土、防洪、固碳和授粉服务。根据这些数据,我们还构建了三条高输商路径:省内流域、省间高输商和国际高输商。我们的研究结果有助于建立一个公平和运作良好的HEC机制,提供多种环境和社会效益,有助于实现几个联合国可持续发展目标(SGDs),如消除贫困(#1)、零饥饿(#2)、气候行动(#13)和陆地生命(#15)。

Governing high-integrity markets for ecosystem services 管理高诚信的生态系统服务市场

There is growing global interest in the potential for ecosystem markets to facilitate climate and nature recovery. Yet, poorly designed and operated markets are prone to corporate “greenwashing” and negative consequences for nature and local communities. With the rapid scaling of ecosystem markets around the world, there is a need to systematically analyse ecosystem market governance principles, and identify the practical steps needed to implement these principles at national scales across multiple high-integrity ecosystem markets. The majority of principles published to date are designed to be applied at international scales or within single markets. However, national policy oversight is essential to ensure emerging ecosystem markets deliver natural capital outcomes and wider public benefits appropriate to the jurisdictions in which they operate.
This paper therefore analyses principles for the development and operation of high-integrity ecosystem markets, proposing how these could be operationalised in the UK, where governments are actively developing new governance regimes for rapidly proliferating voluntary markets and emission reduction or removal activities that occur within a company’s supply chain (“insetting”).

    Provides the first comprehensive overview of compliance and voluntary carbon and other ecosystem markets operating in the UK in 2025, with a focus on new and emerging voluntary markets, alongside the first analysis of relevant ecosystem market actors in the UK.
  • 2.
    Conducts a comparative analysis of existing national and international principles, identifying 15 high-level principles for governance, measurement, reporting and verification, and delivering wider benefits of high-integrity ecosystem markets, that could be applied by relevant market actors to the range of ecosystem markets identified in the UK as well as to insetting activities; and.
  • 3.
    Proposes how these principles could be applied in an ecosystem markets governance hierarchy, showing policy, governance and market mechanisms and infrastructure that are being developed to implement the proposed principles in the UK, and discusses implications for international policy and markets.
The principles focus on robust governance, transparent measurement and verification, and equitable environmental and social benefits, ensuring credible and lasting outcomes from ecosystem markets. Taken together, the proposed market principles and governance hierarchy could be used to ensure the development of high-integrity ecosystem markets across the UK and internationally, helping national governments to responsibly build and scale these markets, and market actors design codes, schemes and projects that achieve additional carbon, biodiversity, and community gains across multiple contexts.
全球越来越关注生态系统市场促进气候和自然恢复的潜力。然而,设计和运营不善的市场很容易被企业“洗绿”,对自然和当地社区造成负面影响。随着全球生态系统市场规模的迅速扩大,有必要系统地分析生态系统市场治理原则,并确定在多个高完整性生态系统市场的国家尺度上实施这些原则所需的实际步骤。迄今公布的大多数原则都是为在国际范围内或单一市场内应用而设计的。然而,国家政策监督对于确保新兴生态系统市场提供适合其运营管辖范围的自然资本成果和更广泛的公共利益至关重要。因此,本文分析了高完整性生态系统市场的发展和运作原则,并提出了如何在英国实施这些原则。英国政府正在积极开发新的治理制度,以应对迅速扩散的自愿市场和公司供应链内的减排或消除活动(“嵌入”)。摘要:1。第一次全面概述了2025年在英国运行的合规和自愿碳和其他生态系统市场,重点是新兴的自愿市场,以及对英国相关生态系统市场参与者的首次分析。对现有的国家和国际原则进行比较分析,确定了15个高层原则,用于治理、测量、报告和验证,并提供高完整性生态系统市场的更广泛利益,这些原则可以被相关市场参与者应用于英国确定的生态系统市场范围以及投资活动;and.3。提出如何将这些原则应用于生态系统市场治理层次结构,展示正在开发的政策、治理和市场机制以及基础设施,以实施英国提出的原则,并讨论对国际政策和市场的影响。这些原则侧重于强有力的治理、透明的衡量和核查以及公平的环境和社会效益,确保生态系统市场产生可信和持久的结果。综上所述,拟议的市场原则和治理层级可用于确保在英国和国际上发展高完整性的生态系统市场,帮助各国政府负责任地建立和扩大这些市场,帮助市场参与者设计规范、计划和项目,在多种情况下实现额外的碳排放、生物多样性和社区收益。

Ecosystem services (ESs) have a non-negligible contribution to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) realization. However, the complex trade-offs between the SDGs undermine the contribution. The contribution of ESs to the multiple SDGs co-realization needs to be further explored. Taking a typical ecologically fragile basin in the Loess Plateau as an example, this study combined the ESs supply and demand with the expert knowledge method to estimate the changes of SDG1,2,6,15 scores from 1990 to 2020. Network analysis was introduced to construct the SDGs network, integrating degree centrality and closeness centrality to identify SDGs of high importance in the network. The potential changes of SDGs networks in 2050 were simulated under different shared socioeconomic pathways and representative concentration pathways (SSPs-RCPs) scenarios. The results showed that the deficit risk of water yield and carbon sequestration increased. The four SDGs scores mainly showed a trend of decreasing and then increasing, with SDG6 showing the most drastic change. The synergies among changes in the four SDGs scores gradually strengthened in the northern basin. The proportion of sub-basins with SDG2,6 as the highest Node Importance increased from 18.75% and 0% to 26.67% and 40.00%, respectively. The role of SDG2,6 on the synergies among changes in SDGs scores strengthened. The four SDGs scores generally decreased under the different scenarios, with a particularly significant decrease in SDG15. The SSP1-RCP2.6 scenario had the least decrease in the four SDGs scores. The role of SDG15 on the synergies among changes in SDGs scores was strongest under most scenarios. The proportion of sub-basins with SDG15 as the highest Node Importance accounted for more than 58% under SSP1-RCP2.6 and SSP5-RCP8.5 scenarios. By integrating ESs supply and demand into SDGs network analysis, this study attempted to construct a toolkit for integrating ESs into SDGs co-realization.
生态系统服务对实现可持续发展目标有着不可忽视的贡献。然而,可持续发展目标之间的复杂权衡削弱了贡献。需要进一步探讨可持续发展企业对共同实现多个可持续发展目标的贡献。以黄土高原典型生态脆弱盆地为例,结合ESs供需和专家知识法估算了1990 - 2020年SDG1、2、6、15分值的变化。引入网络分析构建sdg网络,整合度中心性和紧密中心性,识别网络中高度重要的sdg。在不同的共享社会经济路径和代表性集中路径(ssps - rcp)情景下,模拟了2050年可持续发展目标网络的潜在变化。结果表明:产水量和固碳亏缺风险增大;4个sdg得分主要呈现先降后升的趋势,其中SDG6的变化最为剧烈。4个可持续发展目标得分变化之间的协同效应在北部盆地逐渐增强。节点重要性最高的SDG2、6子流域所占比例分别从18.75%和0%增加到26.67%和40.00%。SDG2,6对sdg评分变化之间协同效应的作用得到加强。四个可持续发展目标的得分在不同情景下普遍下降,其中可持续发展目标15的得分下降尤为显著。SSP1-RCP2.6情景的4个SDGs得分下降幅度最小。在大多数情景下,可持续发展目标15对可持续发展目标得分变化之间协同效应的作用最强。在SSP1-RCP2.6和SSP5-RCP8.5情景下,SDG15节点重要性最高的子流域占比超过58%。本研究通过将可再生能源供需整合到可持续发展目标网络分析中,试图构建一个将可再生能源整合到可持续发展目标共同实现中的工具包。

Natural infrastructure is increasingly being recognized as a viable alternative or complement to traditional ‘grey’ infrastructure in addressing global infrastructural needs. From a policy design perspective, selecting the optimal strategy among alternatives requires complete knowledge of the costs and benefits associated with each option. Unlike traditional infrastructure, natural infrastructure delivers a host of ecosystem services that may be difficult to quantify and monetize. Markets do not exist for many of the ecosystem services associated with natural infrastructure, so monetizing the suite of benefits requires specialized techniques from the field of nonmarket valuation. In this paper we use bibliometric techniques to systematically review the literature on economic valuation of ecosystem services, natural infrastructure and, at their intersection, ecosystem services provided by natural infrastructure. With a combination of machine learning and keyword matching, we extract 6,796 relevant articles published between 1990 and 2023 from the Web of Science database. They reveal a dramatic increase in economic valuation studies —especially in the last fifteen years, with a prominent focus on recreation and tourism ecosystem services, marine infrastructure and stated preference valuation methods. We also identify knowledge gaps in terms of geographical coverage, ecosystem services, natural infrastructure, and valuation methods considered, and we provide suggestions for filling these gaps.
在解决全球基础设施需求方面,自然基础设施越来越被认为是传统“灰色”基础设施的可行替代或补充。从策略设计的角度来看,在备选方案中选择最优策略需要完全了解与每个选项相关的成本和收益。与传统基础设施不同,自然基础设施提供了大量生态系统服务,这些服务可能难以量化和货币化。与自然基础设施相关的许多生态系统服务并不存在市场,因此将一系列利益货币化需要非市场评估领域的专门技术。在本文中,我们使用文献计量学技术系统地回顾了生态系统服务、自然基础设施以及自然基础设施提供的生态系统服务的经济价值。结合机器学习和关键词匹配,我们从Web of Science数据库中提取了1990年至2023年间发表的6796篇相关文章。它们揭示了经济评估研究的急剧增加——特别是在过去的15年里,主要关注娱乐和旅游生态系统服务、海洋基础设施和声明偏好评估方法。我们还确定了地理覆盖、生态系统服务、自然基础设施和评估方法方面的知识差距,并提出了填补这些差距的建议。

Tropical deforestation in the Colombian Amazon has led to the loss of over 3 million hectares of forest since 1985, severely affecting ecosystem services (ES) vital to local communities and global climate regulation. This study applies a Total Economic Value framework to estimate the annual economic loss associated with deforestation, focusing on six key ES: carbon storage; provision of wildlife and fishery resources; firewood supply; non-timber forest products; and indigenous knowledge of medicinal plants. Methodologically, we integrate biophysical assessments on the diversity, abundance, and use of biological resources with market-based and cost-based valuation techniques. Carbon storage loss is quantified using forest inventory plot data and carbon pricing from international markets. Provisioning services (fauna, fish, firewood, and non-timber products) are valued using local consumption data and regional market prices. The cultural value of indigenous medicinal knowledge is estimated based on ethnobotanical databases and official census statistics on treatment patterns for common illnesses and population distribution. Spatial extrapolation at the hectare level enables the aggregation of ES values across deforested areas. Our results indicate that annual ES losses range from at least US$254 million to US$400 million, equivalent to 0.06–0.11% of Colombia's GDP. By explicitly linking ecological data with economic metrics, this study provides a robust basis for decision-making aimed at halting deforestation and safeguarding the Amazon’s multifunctional benefits.
自1985年以来,哥伦比亚亚马逊地区的热带森林砍伐已导致300多万公顷森林的损失,严重影响了对当地社区和全球气候调节至关重要的生态系统服务。本研究采用总经济价值框架来估算与森林砍伐相关的年度经济损失,重点关注六个关键ES:碳储量;提供野生动物和渔业资源;木柴供应;非用材林产品;以及药用植物的本土知识。在方法上,我们将生物资源的多样性、丰度和利用的生物物理评估与基于市场和基于成本的评估技术相结合。利用森林清查图数据和国际市场的碳定价对碳储存损失进行量化。供应服务(动物群、鱼类、柴火和非木材产品)的价值是根据当地消费数据和区域市场价格计算的。土著医学知识的文化价值是根据民族植物学数据库和关于常见病治疗模式和人口分布的官方普查统计数字估计的。在公顷水平上的空间外推可以汇总整个毁林地区的ES值。我们的研究结果表明,每年的ES损失至少在2.54亿美元至4亿美元之间,相当于哥伦比亚GDP的0.06%至0.11%。通过明确地将生态数据与经济指标联系起来,这项研究为旨在阻止森林砍伐和保护亚马逊多功能利益的决策提供了坚实的基础。
