    Nature reserve is the cornerstone of biodiversity conservation,and tourism is an important mode of development of the nature reserve.Based on the landscape scale,3S technology and landscape indices,the paper discussed the change of the landscape patterns in the context of rapid development of tourism in Jiuzhaigou nature reserve during 1975~2007.The results showed that various landscape types of the natural reserve had taken place in different degrees during 33 years.The area of grassland,woodland/shrub,cultivated land had a net decrease,whereas the area of forestland,snow/naked rock,construction land,waters had a net increase.From the point of view of transferred out of proportion,construction land was the largest (13207%),followed by cultivated land (100%),grassland (606%),woodland/shrub(535%),forestland(4.47%),snow/naked rock(321%),whereas waters(207%) was the smallest.Under human activities and natural recovery processes,the degree of landscape fragment continued to increase by 1997;but turned better by 2007.In general,the comprehensive action of forest cutting and natural restoration was the primary driving factor,while the effect of tourism development was relative low for Jiuzhaigou’s landscape changing.Development of tourism had promoted the whole recovery of vegetation in natural reserve,but also added construction land and changed the landscape patterns of vegetation.Only when we instill the principle of “conversation firstly”,and manage scientifically,protection and development can reach a winwin situation.

    The purpose of the study is to analyze the spatial variation of 〖JP2〗economy in PanYangtze River Delta.〖JP〗The economic growth in each region not only 〖JP2〗depends on its own characteristics,but also on the neighborhood〖JP〗 regions which it belongs to.Unfortunately,the traditional approaches 〖JP2〗suppose that each region is independent〖JP〗 from others,so they just evaluate the regional disparity variations of "isolated" regions and cannot tell the dynamics of interrelated regions.Methods of ESDA were employed,which 〖JP2〗could incorporate spatial〖JP〗 effects into the analysis of regional disparities,identify global and local disparities at the 〖JP2〗regional scale and visualize〖JP〗 the spatial distribution and patterns through Moran scatter plots or LISA maps.In order to avoid the variation instability of the variable of per capita GDP,methods of spatial autocorrelation indicators adjusted by Empirical Bayes was employed. This paper investigated the spatial dynamics of regional disparities at the municipal level in PanYangtze River Delta by analyzing per capita GDP data,1999~2008.The results indicated that the economy development showed obvious spatial cluster pattern in PanYangtze River Delta.The value of EBI showed a trend of increased volatility; the spatial transfer of clusters and outliers showed definite rules; the economy development showed obvious local spatial disparity pattern.The study indicated the feature of the Yangtze River Delta region with highvalue and the new expansion provinces with lowvalue

    Major function oriented zoning (MFOZ) is one of the effective ways to coordinate current rapid economic development and resources and environmental protection in China.Therefore,we set up an integrated indicator system of MFOZ in Yixing of Jiangsu Province, an area with intensive urbanization in the Yangtze River Delta of China.The indicators' weights were determined by principal component analysis (PCA).And then, the projection values of resources and environmental restriction,present development intensity and future development potential in Yixing were calculated by grey relation projection model (GRPM) and classified as three grades (high,medium and low),respectively.According to each town's combination of resources and environment,development intensity and development potential,Yixing was divided into five main function oriented zones by three dimension magic cube classification method (TDMCCM),which consisted of optimized and integrated zone,emphasized development zone,moderately development zone,agriculture and forestry development zone and ecological protection zone.The zoning result prominently indicates the “major function” characteristics of major function oriented zone,which gradually changes from protection type to development type.Moreover,the projection value of evaluation sample calculated by GRPM is the product of the sample module and the angle cosine between evaluation sample and ideal sample. It makes the evaluation results more comprehensive and accurate

    There are plenty of small lakes distributed in Hanyang District, and these lakes are almost belonging to type V of water quality due to the inputting of industrial and domestic waste water.Macrobenthos has been widely used to monitor the organic pollution.To detect the extent and distribution of pollution in these lakes (Sanjiao Lake,Moshui Lake,Longyang Lake,Yue Lake,Houguan Lake),this study made investigations of macrobenthos community and researches on their indication to lake environment during 2002~2005.Besides of Houguan Lake with one species of mollusca, the other lakes were only inhabited by pollutanttolerant species,i.e.tubificids (e.g.〖WTBX〗Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri, Branchiura sowerbyi) and chironomids (Tanypus sp,Propsilocerus akamusi,Chironomus plumosus).Statistical analyses revealed that densities of tubificids and chironomids were significantly positively correlated with total nitrogen, phosphorus and Chla (p<005). The correlation coefficients (R2) of regression between tubificid densities and nutrients (TN,TP) were higher than that of chironomids, which indicated that the tubificid densities were more reliable for predicting trophic level than chironomid.The result of water quality bioassessment was almost consistent with the physicalchemical evaluation,i.e.Moshui Lake and Longyang Lake were severely polluted,Yue Lake and Sanjiao Lake were moderately polluted and Houguan Lake was slightly polluted. Not any macrobenthos was collected in the eastern phenolpolluted area of Longyang Lake,which validated the monitoring role of macrobenthos in the longterm effect of pollution. Furthermore,this study utilize〖JP2〗d the spatial pattern of tubificid to indicate the pollution pattern of these lakes.On the basis of environmental analyses,this study validated the reliable role of tubificid in monitoring organic pollution

    The black carp (〖WTBX〗Mylopharyngodon piceus〖WTBZ〗),grass carp (〖WTBX〗Ctenopharyngodon idellus〖WTBZ〗),silver carp (〖WTBX〗Hypophthalmichthys molitrix〖WTBZ〗) and bighead carp (〖WTBX〗Aristichthys nobilis〖WTBZ〗) are the four major Chinese carps,and the main species for freshwater fishery and aquaculture in China.They are migratory fishes between rivers and lakes.The Yangtze River is the largest river in China and the third longest river in the world. It is the main habitat for spawning of the four major Chinese carps. As one of the two large lakes maintaining a connection with the mainstream of the Yangtze River,Poyang Lake could be an invaluable feeding ground of the juvenile four major Chinese carps.So far,their migratory mechanism between the Yangtze River and Poyang Lake was still unclear.Time course of the juvenile four major Chinese carps in the Hukou waters of Poyang Lake was investigated from 2007 to 2008.Their peaks appeared in July and August respectively.The peak period of black carp,grass carp and silver carp ranged from middle of July to late August,and the peak of bighead carp appeared in July.The dominant standard length of black carp and bighead carp ranged from 500 to 900 cm respectively,and that of grass carp and silver carp were mostly ranged from 500 to 1499 cm respectively.The dominant species of the juvenile four major Chinese carps collected in the Hukou waters of Poyang Lake was silver carp,and bighead carp was rare.Moreover,the relationships between water level of Poyang Lake (Hukou Station) and their respective daily number were significant positive.The result provided basic data for the research on the migration of the juvenile four major Chinese carps from the Yangtze River to Poyang Lake.Therefore,to protect their resources and increase the knowledge about their migration between the Yangtze River and Poyang Lake,a continued scrutiny seems well justified

    The artificial alder and cypress fixed forest has been massively afforested since 1970s and there has been an obvious land use change in Hilly Area of Central Sichuan Basin.Based on the estimation of biomass and NPP of the artificial alder and cypress fixed forest during different growing periods,organic carbon content of every organ of main trees of the fixed forest,yearly organic carbon store and organic carbon density of the artificial alder and cypress fixed forest during different growing periods were respectively analyzed.Then yearly organic carbon store and organic carbon density of the artificial alder and cypress fixed forest were compared to that of agricultural vegetation during the corresponding period.The result showed that during earlier stage the artificial alder and cypress fixed forest yearly stored a small quantity organic carbon.When the age of the artificial alder and cypress fixed forest was nearly 7 or 8 years old,its yearly organic carbon store was equal to that of paddy rice and dryland.With the age increase of the fixed forest,vegetation organic carbon density of artificial alder and cypress fixed forest increased quickly,and the effect of carbon sink of the forest became more and more obvious. When the age of the artificial alder and cypress fixed forest was bigger than 3 or 4 years old,its organic carbon density was bigger than that of paddy rice and dryland. When the forest was mature (more than 20 years old),its organic carbon density was more than 5 times of that of the corresponding period of farmland.In order to improve ecoenvironment and reduce carbon emission,these countermeasures should be taken into account:enhancing protection,prevention and control of plant diseases and elimination of pests of the artificial alder and cypress fixed forest;engaging in saving management of forest and wood;and actively studying and exploring the transform and rational utilization of the artificial alder and cypress fixed forest.

    At present, it is becoming the mainstream to develop largescale livestock farms in China.However,largescale livestock farms not only make great economic benefits,but also cause heavy environment pollution.Then,it is a key problem whether there is an optimal scale for livestock farms from the view of the pollution controlling. Based on the N/P capacity of the farmland,transport cost,pollution charge and other variables,a mathematical model was built to analyze the optimal scale of a livestock farm that would maximize its profit.When the livestock farms chose the scale as the control variable,the optimal scale would increase with the price of the livestock and the N/P capacity of the farmland, and would decrease with the increase of the sum of the directive production cost and manure treat cost,the N/P surplus after the treatment,transport cost,pollution charge.When the livestock farms chose the proportion of the N/P surplus emitted directly as the control variable,the optimal proportion of the N/P surplus emitted directly would decrease with the increase of the pollution charge.Finally,it was concluded that the limit on the scale of livestock farm would be an option to control the livestock pollution when the N/P could not be removed effectively by current technologies,and it was difficult to supervise the livestock whether to treat the N/P surplus properly

    Based on the data of arable land in 13 municipal cities in Jiangsu Province from 1998 to 2008,this paper analyzed the change process of arable land and spatial difference nearly 10 years,test the spatial autocorrelation of arable land by the Moran I index,and studied the driving mechanism in the change of arable land by adopting spatial econometric model.From 1998 to 2008,the area of arable land decreased 2969 × 104 hm2 with yearly decrease of 270 × 104 hm2.There was an obvious spatial difference in the change of arable land.The most serious regions of the reduction of arable land included Wuxi,Suzhou,Changzhou,Nanjing and Zhenjiang city.There existed an obvious spatial correlation of the distribution of arable land in Jiangsu Province.Its value of Moran I increased from 04003 to 04524 from 1998 to 2008,and this correlation was growing stronger.The population,economic growth and the ratio of grain and economic crops were the main driving factors and their elastic coefficients were -0803, -0070 and 0069,respectively.There was an obvious significant spatial diffusion effect in the change of arable land in various factors in adjacent areas,and the elastic coefficient was 0779.Therefore,we should take the spatial correlation into consideration in the future to promote the formation of transregional arable land protection mechanism,and establish an integrative regional protection policy

    The growth and photosynthetic characteristics of two kinds of super hybrid rice,early rice Zhuliangyou 819 and late rice Fengyuanyou 299,were studied respectively with Jinyou 402 and Huanghuazhan as CK.Zhuliangyou 819 had less tillers than the CK,but its higher percentage of productive tillers led to more panicles.It had higher leaf area index and biomass accumulation rate in the early stage but lower in the latter stage compared with the CK.In the whole growth period,there was no significant difference in photosynthetic rate between Zhulianyou 819 and the CK,and at filling stage,there was no significant difference in all chlorophyll fluorescence parameters either.Fengyuanyou 299 had less tillers and productive tillers than the CK,but it had higher biomass because it maintained an obvious advantage in leaf area index,and its photosynthetic rate was significantly higher than that of the CK at the middle and late stages of growth.At filling stage,there was no significant difference in initial fluorescence (Fo),maximal fluorescence (Fm) and maximum quantum yield of PSII (Fv/Fm), but Fengyuanyou 299 was higher than the CK in the parameters including instantaneous fluorescence (Ft),maxim fluorescence at actinic light (Fm′),effective quantum yield of PS II (Fv′/Fm′), apparent photosynthetic electron transport rate (ETR), photochemical quenching coefficient (qP) and nonphotochemical quenching coefficient (NPQ).Both Zhuliangyou 819 and Fengyuanyou 299 showed high yield characteristics,with the yield being 1629% and 544% respectively higher than that of the CK, but the reasons differed. Zhuliangyou 819’s high yield lied in its higher biomass accumulation at early stage and higher photosynthetic transport efficiency, while Fengyuanyou 299’s high yield lied in its higher photosynthetic capacity at the middle and late stages and higher harvest index.
