The overall emission amount for these 16 PAHs in 2013 in Linfen was 825.12 t, with 149.22 t identified as carcinogenic PAHs. The emission intensity of PAHs in 2013 was about 40.7 kg/km2 in Linfen, which was much higher than the average intensity found in China in 2013. Most of the PAHs were generated from the combustion of domestic, industrial, and coke-production coal, accounting for 78.6% of the total emission amount. Among the emissions of these 16 PAHs, two- and three-ring PAHs made up the majority (68.15%). In the different areas (17 in total) of Linfen, the PAH emissions ranged from 143.35 t in Hongdong County to 2.64 t in Daning County. There was a positive correlation between the rural population and total PAH emissions (R2 = 0.794).

Although Su Shi was drawn into the vortex of factional rupture and ulti mately exiled, first to Huangzhou and later to Hainan Island, his celeb- rity was universal from his own time on, and his literary fame even reverber- ated beyond China. After his death, the court of Emperor Huizong (r. 1100– 1125) issued a prohibition of works by Su, who had been a conservative during a period dominated by the New Policies party (xin fa dang). Despite this, his writings, calligraphy, and paintings were beloved and fervently collected among scholar-bureaucrats.2 The Southern Song period saw both the restora- tion of the Conser va tive party (jiu fa dang) and a great upsurge of interest in Su’s literary works.3 Best known among Su Shi’s literary works are his first and second “Prose- poems to the Red Cliff” (respectively, Qian chibi fu and Hou chibi fu), which he wrote in 1082 during his exile in Huangzhou (Huanggang, Hubei).

This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract North China Mountain Walnut (NCMW) is one of the ancestors of extant cultivated species, and a valuable gene resource for resistance breeding of walnut in China. Inter-Simple Sequence Repeat (ISSR) primers were designed to evaluate the level and pattern of genetic diversity in eight popu- lations of NCMW. Nine ISSR primers yielded 91 amplification products with different sizes, of which 84 (92.31%) were polymorphic. A high species-level genetic diversity was detected with Nei’s (H = 0.2592) and Shannon’s diversity (I = 0.4003). In contrast, the population-level genetic diversity was relatively lower (PPB = 43.27%, H = 0.1347, I = 0.1862). Coefficient of populations differentiation (GST) was 0.5066, indicating that inter-population and intra-population variation contributed 50.66% and 49.34% respectively to the total genetic variability.
