Subsequent subduction beneath the Qinling-Sino-Korean plate created a Devonian- Triassic accretionary wedge that includes eclogites, and formed a coeval volcano-plutonic arc that stretchesfrom the Longmen Shan to Korea. In the Late Permian-Early Triassic, the northern edge of the South China Block was subductedto > 150 km depth, creating the diamond- and coesite-bearing eclogites of the Dabie and Sulu areas. Exhumation from the mantle by lithosphere-scaleextension occurred between 245 and 195 Ma during clock- wise rotation of the craton. The Yangtze-Sino-Korea suture locally lies tens of km north of the exhumed UHP- HP part of the South China Block, implying perhapsthat the very tip of the South China Block was not subducted,or that the UHP-HP rocks rose as a wedge that peeledthe upper crust of the unsubductedSouth China Block from the lower crust. The Tan- Lu fault is an Early Cretaceousto Cenozoic feature. The apparent offset of the Dabie and Sulu UHP terranes by the Tan-Lu fault is a result of this Cretaceousto Cenozoic faulting combined with post-collisional extension north of Dabie.

  • New Insight Into the Phylogeographic Pattern Of
    New insight into the phylogeographic pattern of Liriodendron chinense (Magnoliaceae) revealed by chloroplast DNA: east–west lineage split and genetic mixture within western subtropical China Aihong Yang, Yongda Zhong, Shujuan Liu, Lipan Liu, Tengyun Liu, Yanqiang Li and Faxin Yu The Key Laboratory of Horticultural Plant Genetic and Improvement of Jiangxi, Institute of Biological Resources, Jiangxi Academy of Sciences, Nanchang, Jiangxi, China ABSTRACT Background: Subtropical China is a global center of biodiversity and one of the most important refugia worldwide. Mountains play an important role in conserving the genetic resources of species. Liriodendron chinense is a Tertiary relict tree largely endemic to subtropical China. In this study, we aimed to achieve a better understanding of the phylogeographical pattern of L. chinense andtoexploretheroleofmountainsintheconservationofL. chinense genetic resources. Methods: Three chloroplast regions (psbJ-petA, rpl32-ndhF, and trnK5’-matK) were sequenced in 40 populations of L. chinense for phylogeographical analyses. Relationships among chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) haplotypes were determined using median-joining networks, and genetic structure was examined by spatial analysis of molecular variance (SAMOVA). The ancestral area of the species was reconstructed using the Bayesian binary Markov Chain Monte Carlo (BBM) method according to its geographic distribution and a maximum parsimony (MP) tree based on Bayesian methods. Results: Obvious phylogeographic structure was found in L. chinense. SAMOVA Submitted 13 September 2018 revealed seven groups matching the major landscape features of the L. chinense Accepted 26 December 2018 Published 1 February 2019 distribution area. The haplotype network showed three clades distributed in the eastern, southwestern, and northwestern regions. Separate northern and southern Corresponding author Faxin Yu, [email protected] refugia were found in the Wu Mountains and Yungui Plateau, with genetic admixture in the Dalou Mountains and Wuling Mountains.

  • China's Special Poor Areas and Their Geographical Conditions
    sustainability Article China’s Special Poor Areas and Their Geographical Conditions Xin Xu 1,2, Chengjin Wang 1,2,*, Shiping Ma 1,2 and Wenzhong Zhang 1,2 1 Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100101, China; [email protected] (X.X.); [email protected] (S.M.); [email protected] (W.Z.) 2 College of Resources and Environment, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Special functional areas and poor areas tend to spatially overlap, and poverty is a common feature of both. Special poor areas, taken as a kind of “policy space,” have attracted the interest of researchers and policymakers around the world. This study proposes a basic concept of special poor areas and uses this concept to develop a method to identify them. Poor counties in China are taken as the basic research unit and overlaps in spatial attributes including old revolutionary bases, borders, ecological degradation, and ethnic minorities, are used to identify special poor areas. The authors then analyze their basic quantitative structure and pattern of distribution to determine the geographical bases’ formation and development. The results show that 304 counties in China, covering a vast territory of 12 contiguous areas that contain a small population, are lagging behind the rest of the country. These areas are characterized by rich energy and resource endowments, important ecological functions, special historical status, and concentrated poverty. They are considered “special poor” for geographical reasons such as a relatively harsh natural geographical environment, remote location, deteriorating ecological environment, and an inadequate infrastructure network and public service system.

For more than twenty years, Hainan, Vietnam, Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia have been erroneously reported in Chinese literature as belonging to the distribution range of Onryza maga (Leech 1890). Based upon a careful survey of specimens and relevant literature, these regions are omitted from the known range of this species. Onryza maga maga is found from northeast Guizhou, south Henan and Qinling-Daba Mountains in Shaanxi of China, its oc- currence in Hunan is confirmed. The adults are redescribed and the variability of wing patterns is discussed. Female genitalia are illustrated and described for the first time.

It has been widely believed that there should be a natural hybrid population in the distribution of Pinus massoniona Lamb. and Pinus hangshuanensis Hsia, that is, the excessive type of external form between Pinus massoniana and Pinus taiwanensis exist. This paper mainly discusses the traits and clustering analysis of coniferous lozeng in Huangshan scenic area. This study will provide a theoretical basis for the classification of long and outstanding Huangshan Song and so on. At the same time, it will provide reference for the phenomenon of gene seepage between the two species.

From north to south these include the North China craton (including the north Qinling block), the Qinling–Dabie microblock, and the South China craton (including the Bikou block), separated by the Shangdan and Mianlue sutures. The Mianlue suture zone contains evidence for Mesozoic extrusion tectonics in the form of major strike–slip border faults surrounding basement blocks, a Late Paleozoic ophiolite and a ca. 240–200 Ma thrust belt that reformed by 200–150 Ma thrusts during A-type (intracontinental) subduction. The regional map pattern shows that the blocks are surrounded by complexly deformed Devonian to Early Triassic metasandstones and metapelites, forming a regional-scale block-in-matrix mélange fabric.

  • Flow Regimes for Major Topographic Obstacles of China
    CHINESE JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICS Vol.49, No.4, 2006, pp: 866∼877 FLOW REGIMES FOR MAJOR TOPOGRAPHIC OBSTACLES OF CHINA WANG Qi-Wei1,2 TAN Zhe-Min1,2 1 Department of Atmospheric Sciences, Nanjing University, Nanjing 210093, China 2 Key Laboratory of Mesoscale Severe Weather (LMSWE), Ministry of Education (MOE), China Abstract Major topographic obstacles in China are taken into account as a whole and approximate scales of these topographies are dynamically idealized according to the theoretical results of mountain flow dynamics. For the typical west-east and north-south upstream flow, the questions are focused on the different flow regimes, such as flow-over/flow-around and quasi-geostrophic balanced or not. The results show that main topographies in China can be classified as three types, one is over-flow dominated and quasi-geostrophic balanced, the second is over-flow dominated but quasi-geostrophic unbalanced, and the third is around-flow dominated and quasi- geostrophic unbalanced. In fact, the primary flow characteristics are determined by not only the scales of the topographies but also their shapes and the upstream flow direction. The rationality of the regimes is validated through qualitative analysis of the flow over the Dabie Mountains and Taiwan Mountains which are numerically simulated using a mesoscale model. Key words Major topographies of China, Flow over mountains, Flow regimes, Flow over, Flow around, Quasi- geostrophic dynamics 1 INTRODUCTION In recent tens of years, the dynamics of topography-induced disturbance has been focused as an interesting scientific question in the atmospheric dynamics[1∼7]. When air stream passes through a mountain, the flow, especially the lower-level flow, will be mainly characterized by flow over or around the mountain.
