External Editor: Hwa-Lung Yu Received: 20 July 2014; in revised form: 31 October 2014 / Accepted: 26 November 2014 / Published: 1 December 2014 Abstract: Hubei Province is the hub of communications in central China, which directly determines its strategic position in the country’s development. Additionally, Hubei Province is well-known for its diverse landforms, including mountains, hills, mounds and plains. This area is called “The Province of Thousand Lakes” due to the abundance of water resources. Geographical names are exclusive names given to physical or anthropogenic geographic entities at specific spatial locations and are important signs by which humans understand natural and human activities. In this study, geographic information systems (GIS) technology is adopted to establish a geodatabase of geographical names with particular characteristics in Hubei Province and extract certain geomorphologic and environmental factors.

The Yangtze River dolphin or baiji (Lipotes vexillifer), probably the first large mammal species to have become extinct in over 50 years, was believed to have experienced major range collapse during its decline through progressive large-scale range contraction and fragmentation. This range-collapse model is challenged by a new dataset of 406 baiji last-sighting records collected from across the baiji’s historical range during an interview survey of Yangtze fishing communities. Although baiji regional abun- dance may have varied across its range, analyses of the extensive new sighting series provide comprehensive evidence that baiji population decline was not associated with any major contraction in geographical range across the middle–lower Yangtze drainage, even in the decade immediately before probable global extinction of the species.

In this study, we measured the maximal quantum yields of photosystem Ⅱ(Fv/F m) and rapid light curves (RLCs) of five dominant submerged macrophytes in situ by using pulse-amplitude modulated fluorometer (Diving-PAM). Results revealed that P. crispus L. and M. verticillatum L. had the highest Fv/F m value, all species’ Fv/F m are less than 0.8. In addition, the variation trends of Fv' /F m' and Fv/F m were same. All species showed statistically significant differences in α, while P. crispus L. and M. verticillatum L. showed the highest α value in the five species. And the variation trends of rETR m and E k were basically the same. It indicated that P. crispus L. and M. verticillatum L., both of which had high photosynthetic efficiency, had excellent ability to withstand hard light.

  • Are River Protected Areas Sufficient for Fish Conservation?
    Xie et al. BMC Ecol (2019) 19:42 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12898-019-0258-4 BMC Ecology RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Are river protected areas sufcient for fsh conservation? Implications from large-scale hydroacoustic surveys in the middle reach of the Yangtze River Xiao Xie1,2, Hui Zhang1,2, Chengyou Wang2, Jinming Wu2, Qiwei Wei1,2* , Hao Du1,2, Junyi Li2 and Huan Ye2 Abstract Background: The Yangtze River is the third largest river in the world and sufers from extensive anthropogenic impacts. The fshes in the Yangtze River are essential for the sustainable development of freshwater fsheries and the conservation of aquatic biodiversity in China. However, the fshery resources in the Yangtze River Basin have shown rapid decline due to various human activities. In recent years, nature reserves and germplasm resource reserves have become important means to protect fshes in the Yangtze River. However, nature reserves and germplasm resource reserves that regard freshwater fshes as the main object of protection are not common and have been rarely studied in China. In this paper, a hydroacoustic method and systematic conservation planning tool (Marxan) were combined to evaluate the efectiveness of reserves based on the spatial and temporal patterns of mature fshes in the middle reach of the Yangtze River (MRYR) from 2010 to 2017. Results: The hydroacoustic survey results indicated that in the longitudinal direction, low densities of mature fsh species were observed in the Jingzhou (S2) and Jianli (S4, S5, S6) sections, whereas high densities of fsh were observed in other sections, such as the Yichang (S1), Chenglingji to Huangsangkou (S7–S12), and Hukou (S15) sec- tions.

  • GIS/RS-Based Flood Risk Mapping for the Eastern Honghu Flood Diversion Area
    第 15 卷增刊 湖 泊 科 学 Vol. 15, Suppl 2003 年 12 月 Journal of Lake Sciences Dec. , 2003 GIS/RS-Based Flood Risk Mapping for the Eastern Honghu Flood Diversion Area Marco GEMMER (Centre for International Development and Environmental Research and Department of Geography, Justus Liebig University, Giessen, Germany) Abstract A first case study for the estimation of flood damages in the eastern Honghu flood di- version area is presented in this paper. The results display flood risk zones based on simulated esti- mation depths. They are the basis for an integrated model for flood damage estimation which com- bines a GIS-based hydrodynamic model for flood depth estimation with flow propagation and a GIS-, and RS-based unit flood damage model with different tangibles of flood damages. Hereby, the inte- grated flood damage estimation model proofs to be applicable at the Yangtze River. Keywords: Honghu flood diversion area, flood inundation estimation, flood risk mapping At present, great attention regarding flood protection is paid to the construction of the Three Gorges Project (TGP) at the Yangtze River. The TGP will definitively reduce the flood risk downstream of the dam but it is not the final solution for flood protection at the Yangtze River. The floods in 2002 have shown that the Yangtze tributaries contribute much to the flood risk at the Yangtze River. In addition, several flood events might occur until the dam will have full op- erational use for flood prevention in the year 2009. Precipitation as the main reason for floods at the Yangtze River can be regarded as being underlying positive and negative trends [1].

PCR amplification and direct sequencing of A cox1 fragment was PCR-amplified from genomic DNA extracted from 7 specimens (5 from humans and 2 from frogs). The cox1 fragment (390 bp) showed 97-100% similarity to the reference sequence of S. erina- ceieuropaei and 88-89% to the reference sequence of S. decipiens. There were 1-12 bases different between these worms, but no obvious genetic variation (0-3.3%) to the references. There was little difference of cox1 gene between sparganum samples of humans and frogs (1-3%). This study is the first report on S. erinaceieuropaei spargana from hu- mans in Liaoning and Hubei Provinces.

Since the first HFRS cases in Hubei Province were reported in 1957, the disease has spread across the province and Hubei has become one of seriously affected areas in China. However, the epidemic characteristics of HFRS are still not entirely clear. Therefore, a systematic investigation of spatial and temporal distribution pattern of HFRS system is needed. In order to facilitate better prevention and control of HFRS in Hubei Province, in this paper, a GIS spatiotemporal analysis and modeling tool was developed to analyze the spatiotemporal dynamics of the HFRS epidemic, as well as providinga comprehensive examination the dynamic pattern of HFRS in Hubei over the past 30 years (1980-2009), to determine spatiotemporal change trends and the causes of HFRS. This paper describes the experiments and their results. 1. RELATED WORK 2. RESEARCH OVERVIEW Hubei Province, is an area that has been severely affected by HFRS for a number of years. HFRS cases in Hubei Province 2.1 Study Objectives were first reported in a suburb of Wuhan County in1957.
