The Boundary analysis of megalopolis contains mainly the whole spatial boundaries and the internal structure boundaries. With the methods of principal component analysis and the cluster analysis, 238 counties, cities and districts in the Yangtze areas were explored of the structure features and spatial organizations of metropolis. Then the above two kinds of boundaries of the megalopolis is analyzed. The findings include, first, the whole spatial boundaries of the Yangtze Delta Region containing Suzhou, Wuxi, Ningbo, and Parts of Shanghai, Nanjing, Changzhou, Hangzhou, Zhenjiang, Yangzhou, Taizhou, Nantong, Shaoxing, Zhoushan. The second is that the megalopolis could be divided into three parts, the HuanTaihu Lake Regions with the core city of Shanghai, the Yangtze River Regions with the core city of Nanjing and the Hangzhou Bay Regions with the core city of Hangzhou and Ningbo. And the internal structure boundaries are locate at Dantu and JiaxingHuzhou. With the perspectives of Shanghai, the internal structures of the Yangtze Delta Regions have features of consenters and axes characters.

Waterfront resource has potentiality in urban development, with the change its function as time goes by. Scale of utilization of waterfront resource was small in agricultural society. After Industrial Revolution, waterfront was the frontier of modern urban development and aggregated chemical industries, energy industries, iron and steel industries, paper industries and so on. Economic development and improvement of living standard make people urge urban waterfront, which enhances the function of waterfront resource. It is impractical to analyze the suitability for port only according to the natural conditions, traffic settings and cities supporting of waterfront resource. Only when we plan various functions of waterfront resource as a whole, can we gain both socioeconomic and ecological benefits. Taking Nanjing as an example, this paper analyzes the suitability for port of waterfront resource along Yangtze River from the aspect of both natural conditions and multifunctions of waterfront resource. This paper further analyzes three primary problems in the utilization of urban waterfront resource. In the end this paper puts forward reasonable developing and protecting countermeasures of urban waterfront resource.

Hanjiang River is the largest branch of the Yangtze River and also the middle and lower reaches are the highest intensive economic bases of Hubei Province. Hanjiang Basin also meets some obstacles such as the great threat from flooding, lower level of water resource use, faint construction of environment and ecology, environment deqradation by traditional agriculture and industry, and inefficient management of water resources. The middle route project of South to North Water Transfer and related projects will drive the local economic development, but reduce water from the upper reach of Hanjiang River, thus changing the water resource distribution in the middle and lower reaches with some conflicting consequences between social economic development and ecoenvironment. It is necessary to grasp the opportunity of the middle route project of South to North Water Transfer, and to renovate the idea and study the program, and to pay attention to the ecoenvironment protection and project construction,as well as to establish corresponding police and law and the drainage area management department, to guarantee the sustainable development in the middle and lower reaches of Hanjiang River.

The rationalization of rural industrial structure is important in rural economy, peasant income, agricultural decision and national economic development. The evaluation on the rationalization is also an important research area in rural geography and agricultural economics. In this paper, the authors discuss the connotation of rural industrial structure. Then, an index system was created to evaluate the industrial structure in the research area, Yongsheng county, Yunnan province. The results show that the development of industrial structure in Yongsheng is on the way to the right direction with such problems as unreasonable exploitation of natural resources, unharmony industry structure, and unharmony agricultrural industry structure. In the end, two principal countermeasures to regulate rural industrial structure are proposed, that is, adjusting the agricultural development direction to maitain sustainable agriculture, and taking food processing industry as the turning point of the developing enterprises in villages and towns to promote the third industry.

Studies on fish community on north beach of Chongming island were carried out during 1994~2003 and several indexes were used to describe the biodiversity of the community. Fishes of 10 orders,19 families, 29 genera and 33 species were collected from this area. The ecological types of the fish were consisted of migrated fishes between the Chagnjiang River and the sea, fishes in estuary and fishes in the sea, and smallsized fishes were more than others. Dominant species were Coilia mystus, Collichthys lucidus and Pseudosciaena polyactis. Average characters of diversity during the past ten years were analysed that Margalef′s index was 0.84，Wilhm′s index was 1.51, Pielou′s index was 0.63 and McNaughton′s index was 0.67. The miniaturization of economical fishes became evidently. Unfavorable influence of water pollution and irrigation engineering works should be paid more attention and the use of choiceless nets should be controlled strictly.

During the investigation on winter water birds in Hubei from January to April 2004, 66 birds species and 59 613 waterbird individuals of 15 families 8 orders were recorded. In which 4 species (115 individuals) were in the firstclass of National Protected bird and 7 species (2 968 individuals) were secondclass of National Protected bird. Based on the results, the authors analyzed waterbirds community structure, distribution, population fluctuations. Compared and evaluated bird communities at twelve lakes by three index (Species Richness, Biomass, Diversity Index), the authors believe that communities in Chenhu, Liangzihu, Longganhu, Wanghu lakes are relatively steady. Furthermore, the population dynamics of Oriental White Stork (Ciconia boyciana) at Lake Chenhu and Hooded crane (Grus monacha) at Lake Longganhu, as well as the alteration of Anseriformes waterbirds at Lake Honghu during the past two decades reflect a serious decline trend of waterbirds population in Hubei wetlands. At the same time, it indicates that shrinkage, filling up and human disturbance are the major problems to wetlands. Conservation countermeasure was accordingly suggested.

Water is a sort of natural resource that can't be replaced. It is also one of the important supports for the sustainable development of the society and economy. Solving the water problem of Wuhan is beneficial to the life of the people， the stability of the society and the urban sustainable development. By using quantitative evaluation method, this paper examed the situation of the sustainable application of water resource in Wuhan city and found out the better and worse aspects in this city. The purpose is to provide the scientific basis for the sustainable use for Wuhan's water resources. The concrete steps are: firstly, the index system of evaluation is determined; secondly， the weight of each index is determined, and the indexes of each time period are arranged in order in their actual value and the comparative values are given out. Thirdly, the marks of each time are worked out by weighted sum (it also names the method of synthetically index). The end, the order of the water application level is worked out by comparing the marks of each time. By comparing with each index and analyzing the comparatively better and worse index within each time, the author gives a quantitative and overall evaluation. That is a quantitative evaluation.

During the investigation upon resource uses in Fushui reservoir in Hubei Province, the drawdown area of reservoirs was divided into upper, middle and lower layers, and the resource characteristics and utilization ways for different belts were analyzed according to the regular change of water stage and operation practice. The upper, middle and lower zones were subject to multipurpose utilization, fishery and amphibious forest exploitation, respectively. The research focused on forestry development in combination with several years' exploitation practice and pattern of amphibious forest belts, the article puts forward to utilize reasonably the resource of the drawdown area which can mitigate the contradictories between farmers and farmland in reservoir regions and transit a way to increase the farm households' income and this is considered favorable to optimize the economic structure in reservoir area and sustainable development in the region.

After the completion of the Three Gorges Project, a 30 meters high permanent waterlevelfluctuating zone (WLFZ) will appear. WLFZ is an extraordinary and the most fragile zone with aquatic and land ecosystems. Because of the start of the Three Gorges Project of the Yangtze River and the increasing industrial and municipal wastewater, the flow velocity of the Yangtze River will slow down greatly and the selfpurification ability of the river will decline. The input of excessive macronutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus) pollution will become more serious in WLFZ. According to the special situation of the waterlevelfluctuating zone, the protection and countermeasures should be brought forward so as to improve the ecosystem restoration of the Three Gorges reservoir.

On the basis of image preprocessing and collection of auxiliary materials, the paper put forward a kind of automatic category method for the land utilization patterns, in order to undertand the characteristics of complicated topography，diversification of land utilization，and great variance of remote sensing images in the Threegorge Region. Based on the professional imageanalysis softwareeCognition, the goal was achieved with the classification of selected samples, the selection of the most suitable wave bands, the establishment of identified functions. The decrease in the influence by the same thing with different spectrums, different things with the same spectrum，and border transitions was also obtained. The results of classification are common raster or vector forms, which can be compatible with other raster or vector analysis software conveniently. The research accomplished the classification of the main patterns of land utilization in the Threegorge Region with higher precision of verification, verifying the exploration of technological route and method to obtain information on land utilization in lagerscale survey by application of automatic classification of the remote sensing images.

Landuse change, dominated by an increase in urban and residential area, has lots of impacts on water environment, such as increasing downstream flooding, decreasing groundwater supply and drying wetlands and so on. So it's very important to analyse hydrologic impacts of land use change for watershed sustainable development. The longterm hydrologic impacts analysis is focused on the average impact, rather than an extreme year or so, and is thus very useful in a decisionmaking in landuse plan and watershed management. By selecting Lihe watershed in Taihu Basin as a study area, this paper analyzed the landuse changes and its longterm hydrologic impacts based on TM/ETM explanation and L-THIA model . The result shows that there is a significant increase in urban and residential land uses between 1984 and 2000, accounting for about 4.199 4% of the whole watershed area. The urban and residential landuse increased mainly by expanding to farm land. Due to the land use change, surface runoff volume increased about 6.170% of that of whole watershed. Different land use types have different sensitivities to hydrologic impacts from land use change. The forest and wetland are more sensitive than paddy field and dry farm land. Based on these analysis results, some watershed landuse strategies are suggested. For decreasing the impacts of landuse change, future development should be encouraged on areas with low hydrologic sensitive landuse type and the high hydrologic sensitive landuse patch should be protected. The impervious area of urban and residential districts should be minimized in details. In addition, landuse planning at a watershed level should be concerned.

The research aims to study the representation of aquatic vegetation by macrofossil remains in shallow lake and hence to provide a contribution of the quantitative research of plant macrofossil analysis on production, transportation and deposition, which in turn will provide a much more robust palaeobotanical tool that can be applied to issues of major nature conservation importance. The study site is Green Plantation Pond in N Norfolk, UK. Detailed aquatic plant surveys were carried out and surface sediment samples were collected. These samples were analysed for plant remains (all 30 samples), and aquatic pollen (4 samples). All data were stored as separate layers in a Geographical Information System. The relationship between the aquatic vegetation and plant remains was quantitatively analysed. The results showed that the macrofossils accurately recorded the dominant macrophyte species in the lake, such as Chara, Potamogeton and Elodea. Relationships between macrophytes and their sedimentary remains were complex. Some species were significantly overrepresented by the macrofossils (e.g. Chara spp., Nitella mucronata and Zannichellia palustris), while others were underrepresented (e.g. Potamogeton spp.). In contrast to the pollen assemblages, plant macrofossils were not evenly dispersed into all parts of the lake, with higher concentrations of remains (particularly for the Potamogeton species) being found close to areas of sourceplant dominance. The importance of searching for leaf and other vegetative fossils as a means of determining the past presence of perennial plants such as Potamogeton is emphasised in this study. Most of the taxa which are very important in the vegetation are reflected reasonably faithfully by the combination of pollen and macrofossil.

The temporal change in flocs size of fine suspended sediments was measured in Xuliujin of the Changjiang Estuary in June of 2003, by using an in situ laser diffraction particle sizer, the laser in situ scattering and transmissomerty100(LISST100). The spectrum analysis was applied to analyze the fluctuation of flocs diameter during the spring tide and the neap tide. The results showed that the quasiperiod of flocs diameter in the surface water during the spring tide included 7.86 h, 3.93 h and 2.95 h; those in the same water during the neap tide included 8.38 h and 3.14 h; those in the bottom water during the spring tide included 3.33 h and 1.19 h. The analysis of the quasiperiods of flocs diameter showed that flocs diameter was responded to the period of the current velocity, which was fluctuating through the tidal periods. The periodical varying current velocity resulted in turbulent shear changing periodically, which was generated by the current velocity. The periodical turbulent shear changing affected the flocs diameter, so the quasiperiods of flocs diameter was close to that of current velocity.

Urban ecosystem is an economicsocialenvironmental comprehensive system. It is important to discuss the inner interaction within the system to perform sustainable development strategy. In this paper, the theory of carrying capacity is reviewed and extended to the urban ecosystem. From the view of carrying capacity, we advanced the concept of carrying relationship: sociometric activity is the driving factor, while ecological environment is passive; the interface relationship between them is the press are and carrying relationship which is named as carrying relationship of urban ecosystem. Then two concept models which are the carrying hierarchy and watering bucket model are used to describe the carrying relationship of urban ecosystem. An evaluation model, involving 35 indicators, is set up and a series of indexes, such as resource carrying index (RCI), environment limited index (ELI) and comprehensive carrying index (CCI) is introduced to describe the carrying relationship of urban ecosystem. At last, an evaluation on the eight representative cities in Changjiang delta is carried out from the view of carrying relationship, and the result indicated that the sequence of the comprehensive carrying index (CCI))from the high to low is Shanghai, Nanjing, Wuxi, Ningbo, Hangzhou, Suzhou, Changzhou, Yangzhou.

In the light of the statistical data of economic (per capita GDP) increasement and the amount of discharged industrial “three wastes” during 1986~2003 in Wuhan city, the interrelations between per capita GDP and the amount of discharged pollutants were analyzed and the quadratic model were also established by dint of the SPSS and EXCEL software. The result shows that the amount of discharged pollutants (such as industrial waste water, Cr+6 in industrial waste water, SO2 in industrial exhaust gas, industrial dust, industrial solid waste and so on) in Wuhan city, except the generation and discharge amount of industrial solid waste are still in a dilemma region, have got through or are getting through the EKC curve turning point, which indicates that the environment condition is becaming better in Wuhan city. According to the result, the feasibility ironing out the tend of EKC curve of the discharge amount of industrial “three wastes” pollutant were analyzed before the environment has not been destroyed and the resource has not been exhausted completely.

Two short sedimentary cores were collected from Honghu lake named HN and HS. The total organic carbon, total nitrogen, phosphorus, susceptibilities, elements and partial size were analyzed. Combining with 137Cs dating, the results indicated that nutrient evolution succession of historical period can be divided into three stages. Before 1840 the lake was characterized with lower productivity, during about 1840~1950 there was an obvious increase of organic production because of population increase. Since 1950, human impacts have accelerated the lake′s trophic status. Large amounts of carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus have accumulated in the sediment. The accumulation of these nutrients is considered to be the discharge of sewage water from multiple sources and cultivation of the lake. The comparison of indices of the two cores shows that district difference does exist due to the inlet water flow, matter source and human impacts. It can be concluded that the human impacts have greatly disturbed the process of natural environmental evolution of Honghu lake.

This paper analyzed water body's chemical property of Honghu Lake on the basis of 20 water samples collected in summer, 2003. In terms of water classification, the water was third in summer, but the water status was worse in other seasons. Physically and chemically, the water body was favourable for the growth and reproduction of aquatic lives. According to the results by fuzzy mathematics, it is demonstrated that water status in Honghu Lake is ranked to the third classification, which suggests that there is a decreasing trend of water quality due to excessive exploration to aquicolous resources. In application of principal components analysis, we acquired three leading control elements. The water quality is mainly under the control of nitride and biological activity, then, suspender, ionic attribute, and the last factor is phosphide. Although total phospher is a key eutrophication factor of the majority of lakes, it is not the dominating control factor for Honghu Lake.

Regarded as a sensitive indicator to paleoclimatic change, the organic carbon isotope in loess and lake sediments is widely used to reflect paleoclimatic condition and paleoenvironmental evolution. By combining analysis of other proxies, this paper is to explore the implication of organic carbon isotope in Lanzhou which is typical of dry and cold climate setting and Jianghan Plain of warm and moist environment. The results show that the significance of organic carbon isotope is different according to the diversities of carriers. In Lanzhou, the δ13Corg values represent the ratios of C3 to C4 plants and reflect the changes of temperature. The higher and lower values of δ13Corg in sediment are the result responsible to warmer and colder paleoclimates, respectively. In contrast, the values of δ13Corg in Jianghan Plain can indicate the varieties of rainfall. With the variation of δ13Corg value from high to low, the climate changes from dry to wet. Further conclusions can be made based on the δ13Corg values together with other indicators. There are certain degree of similarities in paleoclimatic evolution in both areas. For instance, the drier climate before 12.0 ka BP and warmer environment with repetitious fluctuations in the late Holocene in Lanzhou and Jianghan Plain are analogous. Although 4 stages of paleoclimatic change can be recognized in both areas, the paleoclimatic evolutions are different. In general, the climate warming up in early Holocene is earlier in Jianghan Plain than in Lanzhou. In addition, the climate between 12.0 and 10.0 ka BP in Lanzhou area is characterized by dry and cold, while in Jianghan Plain it has evoved into the warm and wet interglacial epoch.

Based on the analysis of shallow soils, the distribution regularity of Se, I, F in soils in the district of Three Gorges reservoir, and has been discussed in relation to geolgy, soil and geography. The results show that the contents of Se, I are low and F is high in the district of Three Gorges reservoir compared with other provinces or cities. And Se,I,F in soils mainly come from rocks. The soil formed from limestone enrich with Se,I,F elements than other rocks, the soil formed from marlite containing the least Se、I, and the soil formed from sandstones contains the least F. Apart from geological background, F,I are controlled by the topographical feature, the altitude, the vegetation covering types, and the land where soils are distributed. For instance, the lower the altitude or the lesser the gradient where soils are distributed, the lower the Se and F contents in the soils. And the soil covered by conifer forest has high contents of I,Se and the paddy field soil contains the least Se,I,F than other kinds of land.

Chenglingji is located in the confluence of Yangtze River′s main stream and Dongting Lake′s outflow. In addition to the deposition of bed level and flood characteristics, the flood combination of Dongting Lake′s outflow and Yangtze River′s main stream is also a very important factor which affects the flood level. We studied the change of Chenglingji crosssection water level under different conditions including different flood composition, different discharge and different water levels of Luoshan by model experiment. The result shows: in Chenglingji crosssection, when inflow of Jianli exceeds outflow of Dongting Lake, threads of steam are close to left side bank; when inflow of Jianli is below outflow of Dongting Lake, threads of steam close to right side bank. The flood combination of Dongting Lake′s outflow and Yangtze River main stream′s inflow affect heavily the water level of Chenglingji crosssection. When inflow of Jianli takes about 55 percent of Luoshan′s discharge, water level of Chenglingji crosssection is highest at that time, that is, the amplitude of setup of Yangtze River main stream′s inflow and Dongting Lake′s outflow consumes energy at maximum value. In middle water discharge, when inflow of Jianli takes about 55 percent of Luoshan′s discharge, water level differences of both banks reaches minimum in Chenglingji crosssection.

With the development of hydroelectric power source in Lancangjiang River valley, the water quality change and the crossboundary effect are concerned more and more by the downstream countries and many international organizations. This paper takes Manwan hydroelectric station as an example, using water quality monitoring materials of 6 sections and 21 items in the downstream of Lancangjiang River from 1988 to 2002, adopting contrast analysis method, evaluates the water quality status and trend of main pollutants of the whole mainstream of Lancangjiang River downstream since the construction and running of Manwan hydroelectric station for 15 years. The results indicate that the construction and running of Manwan hydroelectric station has not produced obvious impacts on water quality of mainstream of Lancangjiang River downstream currently. But Manwan reservoir was polluted by heavy metal and other pollutants, and its water quality tends to go down. Pollution of the main pollutants such as MnO\+-\-4 index, NH\+-\-4-N, Hg, Pb and Cd tend to decrease, and pollution of TP was heavier. Pollution of Pb and Cd heavy metal was mainly concentrated at Gajiu (Manwan) section and Jinglinqiao bridge section, and organic pollution produced by MnO\+-\-4 index, TP and NH\+-\-4-N mainly concentrated at Xishuangbanna hydrology station section and Menghan ferry section. Water quality of Lancangjiang River at leaveboundary section was good and basically meet the requirement of water environmental function.

The forms of nitrogen and phosphorus in the three interfaces of sediments, interstitial water and overlaying water were studied in the present study. The CaP takes up the largest proportion in the total Phosphorus, followed by Org/BactP and residual Phosphorus. The content of total Phosphorus was very high, with the average of 2.63mg/g, while the nitrite was very low and there was no relative chemic counterbalance among nitrate, nitrite and ammoniate, because the inorganic nitrogen circle was also affected by organic nitrogen in water and sediments. The results also showed that there was perfect linear relationship between FeP in sediments and PO\+\{3-\}\-4-P in interstitial water, logarithmic relationship between FeP in sediments and Eh of interstitial water. The average net inner load of Phosphorus in sediments of these two bays in Dianchi Lake was 4.25g·m\+\{-2\}·a\+\{-1\}, and the contents of phosphorus and nitrogen of the 0~5 cm sediments in these two bays were 148.3t、218.94t,respectively.

The urban soil not only influence people's health, but also influence the quality of city environment through air and water, and is affracting more and more attention. In order to understand the effect of typical industrial enterprise on heavy metal content in around soil and the pollution status in the surrounding residential area, the Authors investigated 5 typical industrial districts. The contents of Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd, Hg and As in soil of typical industrial parks were higher than that in the surrounding residential area. The pollution element varied among the industrial parks. In contrast with the background value, seven heavy metals, with exception of Cr, are enriched to some extend.

The study was carried out on the volume reduction and main pollutants removal of recirculated landfill leachate with different diluted concentrations by irrigation on the soil planted with and without Cynodon dactyton. The results showed that during one field season, the average volume reduction rate of the recirculated landfill leachate by soil planted with Cynodon dactyton was 7.7~11 mm/d, and among it the undiluted leachte one was 7.7 mm/d, while 7 mm/d by soil without vegetation, and the former was correlated with the dry weight of the grass; the dry weight of the recirculated landfill leachateirrigated grass was larger than the tap waterirrigated one, and decreased with rising of leachate concentration; 89%~99% of NH3-N and 68%~93% of COD in the recirculated landfill leachate was removed by the soil with  Cynodon dactyton respectively, while 70%~93% of NH3-N and about 65% of COD by the soil without vegetation. NH\-3-N was removed mainly by conversion to NOx-N and vegetation intake.Recirculated landfill leachate irrigation benefits to its volume reduction and pollutants removal, especially on soil with Cynodon dactyton. The results show that it is feasible to irrigate the landfill closure system with recirculated landfill leachate in practice.

It is the combined action of the lack or uneven allocation of precipitation and the vulnerability of the agricultural productive system that leads to agricultural drought disaster. However, the vulnerability of hazardbearing body can “magnify” or “shrink” the losses of the drought. As a result, to alleviate the vulnerability of hazardbearing body is a principal and effective way to fight against calamities and to reduce the losses. Based on the study of Dingcheng District in the municipality of Changde, Hunan Province, it is found that the amounts and the allocations of the precipitation of two years (1988 and 2001) are similar, in other words, the intensities of the hazards of the two years are similar, but the losses of the grain yield are different: the former's was higher while the latter's was lower. Having constructed an evaluating indexsystem including seven indexes, such as the index of the water deficit for the crop growing, the index of the irrigating convenience of the farmland, the index of the smoothness of the farmland, the index of the investment on the farmland, this paper evaluated the vulnerability of hazardbearing body in 1988 and 2001 respectively. The result showed that the vulnerability of hazardbearing body in 2001 had been distinctly cut down, when compared with that in 1988. Trying to analyze the causes, it was found that several measures like the adjustment of the crops makeup (properly increasing the proportion of the middleseason rice), the improvement of the farmland condition and the productivity, the raise of the ability of utilizing irrigating equipments had effectively reduced the vulnerability of hazardbearing body, thereby had decreased the losses of the disaster. It provided a demonstration case for the theory that the vulnerability of hazardbearing body can “magnify” or “shrink” the losses of the drought when the intensities of the hazards are similar.

In China, the mountainous upper reaches of Yangtze River Basin is the densely distributed area of maintain hazards, and the most important sediment supply region resulting from their intensive occurrence. For hazards mitigation, sediment control, soil and water conversation in this area, much research has been conducted on the influence of physical factors on the occurrence of mountain hazards, but relatively little attention has been paid to the study of the integrated and quantitative influences of physical and human activities factors, especially the impact of human activities. Currently, as one of the important factors influencing the occurrence of mountain hazards, land use has been recognized as the joint core field of the mutual action of natural process and human activities, and it supplies a new method to study the relations between mountain hazards and their physical and man\|made causes. In this paper, sensitivity coefficient and its quantitative calculative method were introduced on the basis of GIS and RS technologies, and the sensitivity value of different kinds of mountain hazards on land use was systematically calculated through a case of Xiaojiang Basin in the upper reach of the Yangtze River. From this research, the most vulnerable land use types to mountain hazards are built\|up for mining, road and railway construction, dry land at the slope larger than 15 degree, lowcover (5%~20%) grassland and reservoir at the slope larger than 15 degree, urban land, barren land at the slope larger than 8 degree, highcover (>50%) grassland at the slope larger than 35 degree. The insensitive land use are forestland, farmland at the slope lower than 15 degree, brush and sparse wood land and highcover (>50%) grassland at the slope less than 25 degree.
