R. China, 130012 Abstract Bronze ornaments for girdles of the Mohe-Nuzhen tradition unearthed from sites at Mohe, Bohai, and Nuzhen can be classified into two phases. One phase overlaps both the Mohe and early Bohai periods. These bronze ornaments for girdles of the Sumo Mohe-Bohai tradition are mostly distributed in the valleys of Songhuajiang and Mudanjiang. The other phase is called the Nuzhen period, when bronze ornaments for girdles belonged to the Heishui Mohe-Bohai tradition, and are frequently seen in the Heilongjiang Valley. Keywords: Mohe, Nuzhen, bronze ornaments for girdles, archaeological research 1. Archaeological Discoveries Bronze ornaments for girdles (bronze, card-shaped, and attached on waistbands) of the Mohe-Nuzhen tradition are rectangular or round artifacts with various decoration patterns hollowed out on the surface and 2 to 4 raised fasteners on the back.

Abstract: Given that cultivated land serves as a strategic resource to ensure national food security, blind emphasis on improvement of food production capacity can lead to soil overutilization and impair other soil functions. Therefore, we took Heilongjiang province as an example to conduct a multi-functional evaluation of soil at the provincial scale. A combination of soil, climate, topography, land use, and remote sensing data were used to evaluate the functions of primary productivity, provi- sion and cycling of nutrients, provision of functional and intrinsic biodiversity, water purification and regulation, and carbon sequestration and regulation of cultivated land in 2018. We designed a soil function discriminant matrix, constructed the supply-demand ratio, and evaluated the current status of supply and demand of soil functions. Soil functions demonstrated a distribution pattern Citation: Zhao, R.; Li, J.; Wu, K.; of high grade in the northeast and low grade in the southwest, mostly in second-level areas.

  • FOREST COVER CHANGE in NORTHEAST CHINA DURING the PERIOD of 1977- 2007 and ITS DRIVING FORCES by Miaoying Shi
    FOREST COVER CHANGE IN NORTHEAST CHINA DURING THE PERIOD OF 1977- 2007 AND ITS DRIVING FORCES By Miaoying Shi A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Forestry - Doctor of Philosophy 2015 ABSTRACT FOREST COVER CHANGE IN NORTHEAST CHINA DURING THE PERIOD OF 1977-2007 AND ITS DRIVING FORCES By Miaoying Shi Motivated by asking the question whether or not the large Natural Forest Protection Program (NFPP) had been effective in protecting the natural forests in northeast China. Ten adjacent counties were selected in Sanjiang Plain area of Heilongjiang, upon which region the NFPP had been heavily concentrated. The three chief hypotheses are: (1) the region had undergone severe deforestation and forest degradation before the implementation of NFPP; (2) while the decline of forest cover might have been slowed down following the initiation of NFPP, it would take a longer time to see any significant gain; (3) farmland expansion is the dominant driver of deforestation, whereas population increase, economic growth, and management policy are among the more fundamental forces. Thus the specific tasks were set to detect the regional LUCC over a period of 30 years (1977-2007) and to explore the demographic, economic, political, and other determinants of the detected changes. Landsat images for six periods were acquired to derive the Land Use Land Cover (LUCC) information. With minor classes being merged, classification resulted in four classes—forestland, farmland, built-up land and other (wetland being a main component). Rule-based rationality evaluation and formal accuracy assessment both proved the classification results are acceptable.

Within the confluence zone, the contents of five heavy metals (Cd, Hg, As, Pb and Cr) in surface soils were sampled and monitored in 21 villages around Tongjiang, Fujin and Suibin Cities. Spatial distribution analysis and assessment were conducted by using GIS technology, Müller geoaccumulation index and Håkanson potential ecological risk index. Heavy metal contents in the studied area range as follows: Cd, 0.048-0.280 mg/kg; Hg, 0.017-0.079 mg/kg; As, 4.73-18.16 mg/kg; Pb, 15.9-34.8 mg/kg and Cr, 16.8-55.1 mg/kg, indicating that the detection results meet the agricultural industry standard of China, i.e., environmental condition standards for pollution-free food production (NY5332-2006).

Google Earth Engine provides the possibility of quickly extracting the disaster range over a large area. Based on the Google Earth Engine cloud platform, this study used MODIS vegetation index products with 250-m spatial resolution synthesized over 16 days from the period 2005–2019 to develop a rapid and effective method for monitoring disasters across a wide spatiotemporal range. Three types of disaster monitoring and scope extraction models are proposed: the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) median time standardization model (RNDVI_TM(i)), the NDVI median phenology standardization model (RNDVI_AM(i)(j)), and the NDVI median spatiotemporal standardization model (RNDVI_ZM(i)(j)).
