  • Analysis of Forest Damage Caused by the Snow and Ice Chaos Along a Transect Across Southern China in Spring 2008
    J. Geogr. Sci. 2011, 21(2): 219-234 DOI: 10.1007/s11442-011-0840-y © 2011 Science Press Springer-Verlag Analysis of forest damage caused by the snow and ice chaos along a transect across southern China in spring 2008 SHAO Quanqin, HUANG Lin, LIU Jiyuan, KUANG Wenhui, LI Jia Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, CAS, Beijing 100101, China Abstract: An abrupt ice and snow storm disaster which occurred in the spring of 2008 se- verely destroyed forests over a surprisingly large portion of southern China. A transect crossing Jinggang Mountain-Jitai Basin-Yushan Mountain-Wuyi Mountain was selected as the study area. The authors integrated field data collected in two field surveys to analyze the impacts of the disturbance on forests. The following results were obtained. (1) The extent of damage to plantations along the transect decreased in the order of slash pine > masson pine > mixed plantation > Chinese fir. Slash pine is an introduced species from southern America which is characterized by fast growth, low wood quality and rich oleoresin, and showed a damage rate of 61.3% of samples, of which 70.4% cannot recover naturally. Masson pine is the native pioneer species of forests with harder wood, and 52.5% were damaged due to turpentine, of which 60.9% cannot recovery naturally. Chinese fir is a local tree species and samples showed a rate of 46% and a relative rate of 32.5%, lower than the mixed plantation. (2) From west to east along the transect, we can see that evergreen broad-leaved forest of the western transect on Jinggang Mountain showed the lightest damage extent, and a Cryp- tomeria plantation at an altitude of 700 m was severely destroyed while Chinese fir showed light damage below 700 m and relatively severe damage above 900 m.

In primitively segmented spiders, family Liphistiidae, males are often unknown, and female genital morphology – usually species-specific in spiders – exhibits considerable intraspecific variation. Here, we report on an integrative taxonomic study of the liphistiid genus Ganthela Xu & Kuntner, 2015, endemic to south-east China, where males are only available for two of the seven morphological species (two known and five undescribed). We obtained DNA barcodes (cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene, COI) for 51 newly collected specimens of six morphological species and analysed them using five species-delimitation methods: DNA barcoding gap, species delimitation plugin [P ID(Liberal)], automatic barcode gap discovery (ABGD), generalized mixed Yule-coalescent model (GMYC), and statistical parsimony (SP). Whereas the first three agreed with the morphology, GMYC and SP indicate several additional species.

Improvement on Jiangxi Seismic Environment and Digital Seismological Network. AASCIT Journal of Environment . Vol. 1, No. 3, 2015, pp. 71-75. Keywords Abstract Earthquake, The fundamental cause of tectonic earthquakes is underground water erosion or magma Root Cause, explosion instead of inter-continental plate collision. According to this new discovery, it’s Landform, easy to explain many past great earthquakes around the world, and also easy to predict Topographic Maps, some future possible earthquake foci by observing landforms. These research results are Seismic Environment, important to economically protecting against earthquakes and reducing disasters. Digital Seismological Network Especially, according to this new discovery, many seismic environments or digital seismograph networks in the world can be improved. Through on-the-spot investigation or observing topographic maps, one can find that many areas in Jiangxi Province of China lack underground water, and the possibility of devastating earthquakes occurring in these Received: June 30, 2015 areas is very low. Hence the observation on these areas can be lessened. But some areas Revised: July 13, 2015 such as Jiujiang, Poyang, and Huichang are seismic risk areas, their seismic environments Accepted: July 14, 2015 can be improved and the observation on these areas should be enhanced and optimized. In addition, since most earthquakes occurred in raining or flooding seasons, the observations in these seasons should be enhanced, while the observations in dry seasons could be lessened.

Read Full License Page 1/14 Abstract Background: To evaluate the prevalence of alpha- and beta-thalassemia in Ji'an City, Jiangxi Province, 28,941 people in the region were genetically screened to identify various thalassemia genotypes. Methods: High-throughput amplicon sequencing and gap-PCR was used to screen 301 thalassemia alleles in 28,941 people in the region. Pregnant women were the focus of this screening, and if a pregnant woman harbored mutations in a thalassemia-inducing gene, her spouse was also genetically tested. Results: Of the participants, 2,380 people were carriers of thalassemia, with at least one thalassemia allele, including 1,742 alpha-thalassemia carriers, 686 beta-thalassemia carriers and 48 composite alpha- and beta-thalassemia carriers. The total carrying rate of thalassemia in Ji'an was 8.22%, and the carrying rates of alpha- and beta-thalassemia were 6% and 2.37%, respectively. In addition, the rst measured carrier rate of composite alpha- and beta-thalassemia in Ji'an was 0.17%.
