    Wen et al. Earth, Planets and Space (2019) 71:85 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40623-019-1063-1 FULL PAPER Open Access Studies on the relationships of the Curie surface with heat fow and crustal structures in Yunnan Province, China, and its adjacent areas Limin Wen, Guofa Kang, Chunhua Bai and Guoming Gao* Abstract A Curie surface indicates the distribution of the thermal felds underground, providing a clear marker for the thermo- dynamic efect in the crust and mantle. In this paper, based on a geomagnetic feld model (NGDC-720) and aeromag- netic data, we use power spectrum analysis of magnetic anomalies to estimate the Curie surface in Yunnan Province, China, and its adjacent areas. By combining the distribution of the Curie surface with regional heat fow, the geo- thermal gradient, crustal wave velocity ratio anomalies, high-conductivity layer anomalies, and the Moho surface, we reveal the connection between the undulation of the magnetic basement and the crustal structures. The results indi- cate that the uplift and depression of the Curie surface in the research area are distinct. The Curie surface is approxi- mately inversely correlated to the surface heat fow. The Lijiang-Jianchuan-Baoshan-Tengchong and Jianchuan- Chux- iong- Kunming-Yuxi zones are two Curie surface uplift zones, and their crust-mantle heat fows are relatively high. The Curie surface uplift zone along the Lijiang-Xiaojinhe fault and Red River fault is consistent with the heading direction of the fault zone and is partially in agreement with the eastward mass fow of the Tibetan Plateau. The Curie surface uplift zone is consistent with the high wave velocity ratio and high-conductivity layer anomaly region of the crust.

  • Pine Wilt Disease in Yunnan, China: Evidence of Non-Local Pine Sawyer Monochamus Alternatus (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) Populations Revealed by Mitochondrial DNA
    Insect Science (2010) 17, 439–447, DOI 10.1111/j.1744-7917.2010.01329.x ORIGINAL ARTICLE Pine wilt disease in Yunnan, China: Evidence of non-local pine sawyer Monochamus alternatus (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) populations revealed by mitochondrial DNA Da-Ying Fu1, Shao-Ji Hu1,HuiYe1, Robert A. Haack2 and Ping-Yang Zhou3 1School of Life Sciences, Yunnan University, Kunming, China, 2USDA Forest Service, Northern Research Station, 1407 South Harrison Road, East Lansing, MI, 48823, USA, 3Forest Diseases and Pest Control and Quarantine Station of Dehong Prefecture, Luxi, Yunnan Province, China Abstract Monochamus alternatus (Hope) specimens were collected from nine geo- graphical populations in China, where the pinewood nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Steiner et Buhrer) was present. There were seven populations in southwestern China in Yunnan Province (Ruili, Wanding, Lianghe, Pu’er, Huaning, Stone Forest and Yongsheng), one in central China in Hubei Province (Wuhan), and one in eastern China in Zhejiang Province (Hangzhou). Twenty-two polymorphic sites were recognized and 18 haplotypes were established by analyzing a 565 bp gene fragment of mitochondrial cytochrome oxi- dase subunit II (CO II). Kimura two-parameter distances demonstrated that M. alternatus populations in Ruili, Wanding and Lianghe (in southwestern Yunnan) differed from the other four Yunnan populations but were similar to the Zhejiang population. No close re- lationship was found between the M. alternatus populations in Yunnan and Hubei. Phylo- genetic reconstruction established a neighbor-joining (NJ) tree, which divided haplotypes of southwestern Yunnan and the rest of Yunnan into different clades with considerable bootstrapping values. Analysis of molecular variance and spatial analysis of molecular variance also suggested significant genetic differentiation between M.

  • Kunming Travel Information
    Kunming Travel Information Kunming is the cultural, economic, and the political center of Yunnan province in China The city of Kunming is where the 'Spring' rests all year long. Besides being the hub of tourism in southwest China, Kunming is also the cultural, economic, and the political center of Yunnan province. National parks, temples, golf courses, and swanky shopping districts are quite a lure for those who haven't been to this city. The easygoing locals and the constantly changing landscape of Kunming give the city a distinct identity that a traveler looks forward to explore. Places to Visit in Kunming The bustling city of Kunming has iconic tourist attractions and some of them are a must-visit. Stone Forest – Known as the 'First Wonder of the World' since the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), the Stone Forest is a premier tourist attraction in Kunming. The intricate stone formations of plants, animals, and human beings can be mesmerizing. According to locals, if you have visited Kunming and not seen the Stone Forest, you have wasted your time. Dianchi Lake – It is the largest freshwater lake in entire Yunnan covering around 300 sq. km. It is often referred to as a 'Pearl on the Plateau' for its picturesque surroundings comprising mountains. Dongchuan Red Land –As the name suggests, the land bears three different shades of red – brick red, purple red, and dark red. During spring, the yam flowers and the rape flowers form a blanket over the red hills, giving it a surreal look. Grand View Park – Murmuring water, bridges, pavilions, and the rock gardens collectively make the park a virtual heaven on earth.

  • Green Lack Area Investigation
    Green lack area investigation I Brief introduction about The Green Lake Area As a provincial capital, Kunming city is one of the indispensable object about research of comfortable city. The famous writer Wang Zengqi said "no Green Lake is no Kunming". Extend north to Yi-er-yi street, est to the Beimen Street and Huashan West Road, west to Qianju Street, south to the Renming road, the study area of Green Lake is about 112 hectares (Figure 8), where embodies the history, culture and civic customs about Kunming. Green Lake area is located in the center of Kunming, which can be seen from the Qing Dynasty topographic map (Figure 10). In the study area, Green Lack Park is about 21 hectares, the water area of 15 hectares. Before Yuan Dynasty, it named the nine dragon pool because of nine springs in the water, the water inflow to Dianchi Lake. With the ancient flood project and urban construction, the link between Green Lake and Dianchi Lake was cut off. In Green Lake Park, there are rich variety of plants and Animals, lotus as the main aquatic plants. Area around the Green lack carries the memory of situation and trajectory about history of Kunming city: from the urban development track we can find that she is the core area of Kunming city (Figure 5), the area has a history construction since the Ming Dynasty (Figure 6).In Qing Dynasty the imperial examination about Yunnan was hold here. In 1920s -1940s, students of the school of the military, students of Southwest United University, more than 170 academicians, two Nobel Prize winners were lived here, they left Cultural atmosphere for Green Lake.

  • China Birding April 23 – May 9, 2013 with Chris Leahy
    China Birding April 23 – May 9, 2013 with Chris Leahy Travel with the Massachusetts Audubon Society 208 South Great Road, Lincoln, MA 01773 800-289-9504 China Birding April 23-May 9, 2013 with Chris Leahy Dear Travelers, In the 1980’s, as China began to open more and more areas to foreign tourism, Mass Audubon’s Natural History Travel program was among the first to explore the rich potential of the Middle Kingdom as a rewarding birding destination. Together with small groups of intrepid travelers, I, and others sampled Chinese habitats from Manchuria to Hainan Island and the Yangze flood plain to the peaks of Sichuan. These were great adventures, revealing many spectacular birds and habitats and reaching some remote areas that few Westerners had then visited. But we also discovered a basic formula that applied to our unusual travel objectives: Where the birding was good, the accommodations were likely to range from basic to appalling. And then came Tienanmen, and tourism in China collapsed for a time. Changes in China during the last two decades have of course been astonishing, and among the very positive ones have been the opening of many more opportunities for wilderness travel and vast improvements in travel logistics and accommodations. Now it is possible to explore remote forests, wetlands and deserts, to experience China’s rich cultural heritage, to sample the best of China’s world class cuisine, and connect with the Chinese people, all in relative comfort – if not always luxury. In short, we have decided it’s time to go back! Consequently, Mass Audubon has partnered with WildChina, the award winning travel company that specializes in “exploring the real China off the beaten path” in creating a customized itinerary that combines superb birding experiences with visits to some of China’s most celebrated historical and cultural sites.

Genetic diversity and population structure of an extremely endangered species: the world’s largest Rhododendron. AoB PLANTS 7: plu082; doi:10.1093/aobpla/plu082 Abstract. Comprehensive studies on the genetic diversity and structure of endangered species are urgently needed to promote effective conservation and management activities. The big tree rhododendron, Rhododendron protistum var. giganteum, is a highly endangered species with only two known endemic populations in a small area in the southern part of Yunnan Province in China. Unfortunately, limited information is available regarding the population genetics of this species. Therefore, we conducted amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analysis to characterize the gen- etic diversity and variation of this species within and between remaining populations. Twelve primer combinations of AFLP produced 447 unambiguous and repetitious bands. Among these bands, 298 (66.67 %) were polymorphic. We found high genetic diversity at the species level (percentage of polymorphic loci ¼ 66.67 %, h ¼ 0.240, I ¼ 0.358) and low genetic differentiation (Gst ¼ 0.110) between the two populations.
