The spring population in Northeast China was considered as immigrants from North China; however, the population dynamics during 1996–2007 was not consistent with this traditional theory. In this study, the source area of the spring population of the meadow moth in Northeast China was identified by trajectory analysis using the wind field simulated by mesoscale numerical forecast model MM5. The results indi- cated that the population of the meadow moth in North China was able to migrate into Northeast China, but had not made a crucial contribution to the outbreaks there since the weather systems were generally adverse for such a long range migration in most of the years. On the other hand, high density cocoons of L. sticticalis have frequently been found in autumn in Northeast China since 1996. The trajectory analyses indicated that most of L. sticticalis in Northeast China in spring emerged from the cocoons that had over- wintered either locally or in neighboring countries, i.e. Mongolia and Russia. The development of overwintering areas at higher lati- tudes coincides with the increased frequency of second-generation larvae; both phenomena might be attributed to the regional cli- mate change associated with global warming.

Climate factors influence the occurrence and development of grassland fire. An analysis of the climate conditions of fire occurrence can form the basis for a study of the temporal and spatial variability of grassland fire. The purpose of this paper is to study the effects of monthly time scale climate factors on the occurrence of grassland fire in HulunBuir, located in the northeast of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in China. Based on the logistic regression method, we used the moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) active fire data products named thermal anomalies/fire daily L3 Global 1km (MOD14A1 (Terra) and MYD14A1 (Aqua)) and associated climate data for HulunBuir from 2000 to 2010, and established the model of grassland fire climate index. The results showed that monthly maximum temperature, monthly sunshine hours and monthly average wind speed were all positively correlated with the fire climate index; monthly precipitation, monthly average temperature, monthly average relative humidity, monthly minimum relative humidity and the number of days with monthly precipitation greater than or equal to 5 mm were all negatively correlated with the fire climate index.

  • Photographer Focuses on Great Wall Passion
    CHINA DAILY HONG KONG EDITION Monday, October 29, 2018 CHINA 7 Photographer focuses on Great Wall passion Untrained villager went from snapping tourists to winning national prizes in just a few years By ZHANG YU in Chengde, Hebei [email protected] Few people are as familiar with the Jinshanling section of the Great Wall as Zhou Wan­ ping. For 33 years, not only has he manned a stall there selling snacks and souvenirs but he has also taken countless pho­ tographs of the scenic spot, some of which have earned him national acclaim. Zhou’s village home in Chengde, Hebei province, is about 30 minutes’ walk from the world­famous Jinshan­ ling section, which dates back to the Ming Dynasty (1368­ 1644). The 53­year­old started his stall in 1985 and began snap­ ping pictures as a way of mak­ ing extra money. “Tourists were always ask­ ing me to take photos of them after they’d shopped at my stall,” he said, adding that he decided to save his money to buy a secondhand camera. “I’d take a picture of tourists with the Great Wall and mail it to them once it’d been devel­ oped. I charged less than 1 yuan (14 cents) a picture.” Yet instead of filling his pockets, the activity stoked his interest in photography. Soon, he was taking pictures of the ancient wall every day, from The Jinshanling section of the Great Wall in Chengde, Hebei province, is scarfed by morning fog after rain.

Considering the restrictions of land use and terrain and meteorological conditions, soil erosion and degradation often result in lower agricultural output than expected. Land consolidation is served to consolidate parcels and to enlarge holdings as well as included provisions such as irrigation, drainage infrastructure, in order to improve land leveling and productivity potential. Therefore, the purpose of our research is to maintain the productivity of cultivated land and to enhance the conservation of water and soil by way of land consolidation, with two case studies in Hulun Buir in Inner Mongolia Region. Northeast of China. Our research integrated Geographic Information System (GIS), Remote Sensing (RS) and Global Position System (GPS), and also introduced an optimized method which could save earthwork and reduce soil erosion risks with a holistic perspective considering cultivated land, water, road and forests land. The results showed that by using the optimized method, comparing to total plane method, the earthwork decreases by 3/4 and 7/8; for slant method, the reduced earthwork is 1/2 and 1/3.

Animal husbandry in Inner Mongolia is well developed, but data on T. gondii infection in sheep are lacking. In this study, we determined the seroprevalence and risk factors associated with the seroprevalence of T. gondii using an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) test. A total of 1853 serum samples were collected from 29 counties of Xilin Gol League (n = 624), Hohhot City (n = 225), Ordos City (n = 158), Wulanchabu City (n = 144), Bayan Nur City (n = 114) and Hulunbeir City (n = 588). The overall seroprevalence of T. gondii was 15.43%. Risk factor analysis showed that seroprevalence was higher in sheep 12 months of age (21.85%) than that in sheep <12 months of age (10.20%) (p < 0.01).

The model was stable and could explain 52.2% of the variance for the calibration period of 1956–2002. During the past 135 years, 21 extremely dry years and 19 extremely wet years occurred. These years repre- sented 15.6% and 14.1% of the total study period, respectively. Six severe drought events lasting two years or more occurred in 1950–1951, 1986–1987, 1905–1909, 1926–1928, 1968–1969 and 1919–1920. Four wetter events occurred during 1954–1959, 1932–1934, 1939–1940 and 1990–1991. Comparisons with other tree-ring-based streamflow reconstructions or chronologies for surrounding areas supplied a high degree of confidence in our reconstruction.

The evaluation of the long-term incidence and mortality trends and the prediction of the future burden of breast cancer could provide valuable information for developing prevention and control strategies. Methods: The burden of breast cancer in China in 2015 was estimated by using qualified data from 368 cancer registries from the National Central Cancer Registry. Incident cases and deaths in 22 cancer registries were used to assess the time trends from 2000 to 2015. A Bayesian age-period-cohort model was used to project the burden of breast cancer to 2030. Results: Approximately 303,600 new cases of breast cancer (205,100 from urban areas and 98,500 from rural areas) and 70,400 breast cancer deaths (45,100 from urban areas and 24,500 from rural areas) occurred in China in 2015.

Little is known about the prevalence of B. miyamotoi infections in humans and ticks in Inner Mongolia, China. There- fore, we investigated the prevalence of B. miyamotoi in Ixodes persulcatus ticks, and we aimed to isolateB. miyamotoi from I. persulcatus from four regions of Greater Khingan, Inner Mongolia, China. Methods: From May to June each year during the period 2016–2019, host-seeking adult I. persulcatus ticks were col- lected from vegetation. Genomic DNA was prepared from half of each tick body for PCR template, and the remaining half was used to cultivate B. miyamotoi in BSK-M medium. We employed quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) to detect Borrelia DNA in the ticks and to calculate the prevalence of B. miyamotoi and infections with other borreliae. For char- acterization of the isolated B. miyamotoi, we performed draft genome sequencing and multilocus sequencing analysis (MLSA). Results: A total of 2656 adult I. persulcatus ticks were collected. The overall prevalence of relapsing fever (RF) bor- reliae in ticks was 5.0% (134/2656) and that of Lyme disease (LD) borreliae was 43.8% (1164/2656).
