The Superfamily Calopterygoidea in South China: Taxonomy and Distribution. Progress Report for 2009 Surveys Zhang Haomiao* *PH D
International Dragonfly Fund - Report 26 (2010): 1-36 1 The Superfamily Calopterygoidea in South China: taxonomy and distribution. Progress Report for 2009 surveys Zhang Haomiao* *PH D student at the Department of Entomology, College of Natural Resources and Environment, South China Agricultural University, Guangzhou 510642, China. Email: [email protected] Introduction Three families in the superfamily Calopterygoidea occur in China, viz. the Calo- pterygidae, Chlorocyphidae and Euphaeidae. They include numerous species that are distributed widely across South China, mainly in streams and upland running waters at moderate altitudes. To date, our knowledge of Chinese spe- cies has remained inadequate: the taxonomy of some genera is unresolved and no attempt has been made to map the distribution of the various species and genera. This project is therefore aimed at providing taxonomic (including on larval morphology), biological, and distributional information on the super- family in South China. In 2009, two series of surveys were conducted to Southwest China-Guizhou and Yunnan Provinces. The two provinces are characterized by karst limestone arranged in steep hills and intermontane basins. The climate is warm and the weather is frequently cloudy and rainy all year. This area is usually regarded as one of biodiversity “hotspot” in China (Xu & Wilkes, 2004). Many interesting species are recorded, the checklist and photos of these sur- veys are reported here. And the progress of the research on the superfamily Calopterygoidea is appended. Methods Odonata were recorded by the specimens collected and identified from pho- tographs. The working team includes only four people, the surveys to South- west China were completed by the author and the photographer, Mr. -

The PAH levels were generally low over the year; however, the PAH concentrations increased according to one of two seasonal trends, which were either an increase in PAHs during the cold period, influenced by heating, or a PAH enrichment during the wet period due to higher run-off inputs. The major PAH source was the combustion of fossil fuels and biomass, but a minor input of petrogenic PAHs in some seasons was observed. Higher PAH concentrations were observed in fresh and brackish water compared to the saline waters in the Tumen River estuary, while the PAH concentrations in both types of water were similar in the Partizanskaya River estuary, suggesting different pathways of PAH input into the estuaries. -
Soil Heavy Metal Contamination Assessment in the Hun-Taizi River Watershed, China Wei Zhang1, Miao Liu2 ✉ & Chunlin Li2
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Soil heavy metal contamination assessment in the Hun-Taizi River watershed, China Wei Zhang1, Miao Liu2 ✉ & Chunlin Li2 The Hun-Taizi River watershed includes the main part of the Liaoning central urban agglomeration, which contains six cities with an 80-year industrial history. A total of 272 samples were collected from diferent land use areas within the study area to estimate the concentration levels, spatial distributions and potential sources of arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), mercury (Hg), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn) with a geographic information system (GIS), principal component analysis (PCA) and canonical correspondence analysis (CCA). Only the concentration of Cd was over the national standard value (GB 15618–2018). However, the heavy metal concentrations at 24.54%, 71.43%, 63.37%, 85.71, 70.33%, 53.11%, and 72.16% of the sampling points were higher than the local soil background values for As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Ni, Pb and Zn, respectively, which were used as standard values in this study. The maximal values of Cd (16.61 times higher than the background value) and Hg (12.18 times higher than the background value) had high concentrations, while Cd was present in the study area at higher values than in some other basins in China. Cd was the primary pollutant in the study area due to its concentration and potential ecological risk contribution. The results of the potential ecological risk index (RI) calculation showed that the overall heavy metal pollution level of the soil was considerably high. -

Academic Editor: Jamal Jokar Arsanjani Received: 10 July 2016; Accepted: 17 October 2016; Published: 21 October 2016 Abstract: Source apportionment of river water pollution is critical in water resource management and aquatic conservation. Comprehensive application of various GIS-based multivariate statistical methods was performed to analyze datasets (2009–2011) on water quality in the Liao River system (China). Cluster analysis (CA) classified the 12 months of the year into three groups (May–October, February–April and November–January) and the 66 sampling sites into three groups (groups A, B and C) based on similarities in water quality characteristics. Discriminant analysis (DA) determined that temperature, dissolved oxygen (DO), pH, chemical oxygen demand (CODMn), 5-day biochemical + oxygen demand (BOD5), NH4 –N, total phosphorus (TP) and volatile phenols were significant variables affecting temporal variations, with 81.2% correct assignments. Principal component analysis (PCA) and positive matrix factorization (PMF) identified eight potential pollution factors for each part of the data structure, explaining more than 61% of the total variance. -
International Aid and China's Environment
International Aid and China’s Environment Rapid economic growth in the world’s most populous nation is leading to widespread soil erosion, desertification, deforestation and the depletion of vital natural resources. The scale and severity of environmental problems in China now threaten the economic and social foundations of its modernization. International Aid and China’s Environment analyses the relationship between international and local responses to environmental pollution problems in China. The book challenges the prevailing wisdom that weak compliance is the only constraint upon effective environmental management in China. It makes two contributions. First, it constructs a conceptual framework for understanding the key dimensions of environmental capacity. This is broadly defined to encompass the financial, institutional, technological and social aspects of environmental management. Second, the book details the implementation of donor-funded environmental projects in both China’s poorer and relatively developed regions. Drawing upon extensive fieldwork, it seeks to explain how, and under what conditions, international donors can strengthen China’s environmental capacity, especially at the local level. It will be of interest to those studying Chinese politics, environmental studies and international relations.

Assessment of the Degree of Hydrological Indicators Alteration Under Climate Change
Advances in Engineering Research (AER), volume 143 6th International Conference on Energy and Environmental Protection (ICEEP 2017) Assessment of the degree of hydrological indicators alteration under climate change Chunxue Yu1,2, a, Xin’an Yin3,b, Zhifeng Yang 2,3,c and Zhi Dang1,d 1 School of Environmental Science and Engineering, South China University of Technology, University Town, Guangzhou, China 2 Research Center for Eco-Environmental Engineering, Dongguan University of Technology, Dongguan, China 3 State Key Laboratory of Water Environmental Simulation, School of Environment, Beijing Normal University, Beijing, China [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Keywords: Reservoir storage; Ecological requirement; Optimization model; Climate change. Abstract. The native biodiversity and integrity of riverine ecosystems are dependent on the natural flow regime. Maintaining the natural variability of flow in regulated river is the most important principle for the operation and management of environmental flow (e-flow). However, climate change has altered the natural flow regime of rivers. Flow regime alteration is regarded as one major cause leading to the degradation of riverine ecosystems. It is necessary to incorporate the impacts of climate changes into e-flow management. To provide scientific target for e-flow management, the assessment method for flow regime alteration is developed. We analyze the alteration of hydrological indicator under climate change. This study has selected the commonly used Indicators of Hydrologic Alteration (IHAs) to describe the various aspects of flow regimes. To assess the alteration degree of each IHA in regulated river under climate change, GCM is used to generate feasible future climate conditions and hydrological model is used generate flow of river from those future weather conditions. -
