Report on Domestic Animal Genetic Resources in China
Country Report for the Preparation of the First Report on the State of the World’s Animal Genetic Resources Report on Domestic Animal Genetic Resources in China June 2003 Beijing CONTENTS Executive Summary Biological diversity is the basis for the existence and development of human society and has aroused the increasing great attention of international society. In June 1992, more than 150 countries including China had jointly signed the "Pact of Biological Diversity". Domestic animal genetic resources are an important component of biological diversity, precious resources formed through long-term evolution, and also the closest and most direct part of relation with human beings. Therefore, in order to realize a sustainable, stable and high-efficient animal production, it is of great significance to meet even higher demand for animal and poultry product varieties and quality by human society, strengthen conservation, and effective, rational and sustainable utilization of animal and poultry genetic resources. The "Report on Domestic Animal Genetic Resources in China" (hereinafter referred to as the "Report") was compiled in accordance with the requirements of the "World Status of Animal Genetic Resource " compiled by the FAO. The Ministry of Agriculture" (MOA) has attached great importance to the compilation of the Report, organized nearly 20 experts from administrative, technical extension, research institutes and universities to participate in the compilation team. In 1999, the first meeting of the compilation staff members had been held in the National Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Service, discussed on the compilation outline and division of labor in the Report compilation, and smoothly fulfilled the tasks to each of the compilers. -

Development of Carbon Storage Model for Aboveground Vegetation in China - 12521
Zhao et al.: Development of carbon storage model for aboveground vegetation in China - 12521 - DEVELOPMENT OF CARBON STORAGE MODEL FOR ABOVEGROUND VEGETATION IN CHINA ZHAO, Z. – FENG, Z.* – LIU, J. – SHEN, Y. Precision Forestry Key Laboratory of Beijing, Beijing Forestry University, No. 35 East Qinghua Road, Haidian District, Beijing 100083, China *Corresponding author e-mail: [email protected], phone: +86-159-3355-5590; fax: +86-10-6233-7963 (Received 16th May 2019; accepted 16th Jul 2019) Abstract. Aboveground vegetation is an important component of the terrestrial ecosystem carbon storage, with a significant role in maintaining the global carbon cycle and balance. At present, the estimation method of aboveground vegetation carbon storage was concerned by people. Based on the national data of major trees, forest sample plots and major crops, the carbon storage models of 13 species of tree and 9 types of stands were established through regression analysis, and the carbon storage factors of main crops per unit area was calculated, Moreover, the carbon storage of forest in China was estimated. The results of model fitting showed that the fitting determination coefficients (R2) were all above 0.9. Evaluation indicators of five regression models were selected to conduct model verification. And the verification results showed that the variation range of total relative error (TRE) of tree regression model is -6.03~4.76%, and that of forest classification regression model is -3.24~7.43%. The China forest carbon storage calculated by regression model is 8.999 Pg, considering that forest inventory is carried out based on a certain degree of canopy density, so the error between the results 8.427 Pg of regression model and forest inventory is within the permit range. -

Geology of the Chang 7 Member Oil Shale of the Yanchang Formation of the Ordos Basin in Central North China
Downloaded from http://pg.lyellcollection.org/ by guest on September 26, 2021 Review article Petroleum Geoscience Published Online First https://doi.org/10.1144/petgeo2018-091 Geology of the Chang 7 Member oil shale of the Yanchang Formation of the Ordos Basin in central north China Bai Yunlai & Ma Yuhua* Northwest Branch of Research Institute of Petroleum Exploration and Development (NWGI), PetroChina, Lanzhou 730020, Gansu, China * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: We present a review of the Chang 7 Member oil shale, which occurs in the middle–late Triassic Yanchang Formation of the Ordos Basin in central north China. The oil shale has a thickness of 28 m (average), an area of around 30 000 km2 and a Ladinian age. It is mainly brown-black to black in colour with a laminar structure. It is characterized by average values of 18 wt% TOC (total organic carbon), 8 wt% oil yield, a 8.35 MJ kg−1 calorific value, 400 kg t−1 hydrocarbon productivity and kerogen of type I–II1, showing a medium quality. On average, it comprises 49% clay minerals, 29% quartz, 16% feldspar and some iron oxides, which is close to the average mineral composition of global shale. The total SiO2 and Al2O3 comprise 63.69 wt% of the whole rock, indicating a medium ash type. The Sr/Ba is 0.33, the V/Ni is 7.8, the U/Th is 4.8 and the FeO/Fe2O3 is 0.5, indicating formation in a strongly reducing, freshwater or low-salinity sedimentary environment. Multilayered intermediate-acid tuff is developed in the basin, which may have promoted the formation of the oil shale. -
Field Study in the Loess Plateau
Desalination and Water Treatment 110 (2018) 298–307 www.deswater.com April doi: 10.5004/dwt.2018.22329 Influence of irrigation method on the infiltration in loess: field study in the Loess Plateau Jiading Wanga, Ping Lia,*, Yan Maa, Tonglu Lib aState Key Laboratory of Continental Dynamics/Department of Geology, Northwest University, 710069 Xi’an, China, email: [email protected] bDepartment of Geological Engineering, Chang’an University, 710054 Xi’an, China Received 7 November 2017; Accepted 4 February 2018 abstract It is well known that loess soils are collapsible upon wetting, and subsidence or cracking or failure of structures induced by loess collapsing poses serious threat to human being. Wetting is the most important prerequisite for loess collapsing; however, how the irrigation water, both man-made and natural, infiltrates and flows in loess is not well known. For this reason, a field soaking test simulating flooding irrigation method and a rainfall infiltration test simulating dripping irrigation method were conducted in instrumented sites in the Loess Plateau. This paper presents the results from soil water meters to reveal the infiltration process in loess based on the soil water content variations. The results highlight the significance of the preferential flows when a large amount of water is irrigated to the soils (flooding irrigation). Owning to the presence of preferential paths, the water infiltrates from both shallower and greater depths to the intermediate depths, as a result, bell-shaped zone of wetting and saturated zone are developed in the soils. However, the influence of environmental factors is of dom- inance when the amount of irrigation water is very small (precipitation). -
Emergy-Based Regional Socio-Economic Metabolism Analysis: an Application of Data Envelopment Analysis and Decomposition Analysis

External Editors: Mario Tobias and Bing Xue Received: 4 April 2014; in revised form: 20 November 2014 / Accepted: 21 November 2014 / Published: 28 November 2014 Abstract: Integrated analysis on socio-economic metabolism could provide a basis for understanding and optimizing regional sustainability. The paper conducted socio-economic metabolism analysis by means of the emergy accounting method coupled with data envelopment analysis and decomposition analysis techniques to assess the sustainability of Qingyang city and its eight sub-region system, as well as to identify the major driving factors of performance change during 2000–2007, to serve as the basis for future policy scenarios. The results indicate that Qingyang greatly depended on non-renewable emergy flows and feedback (purchased) emergy flows, except the two sub-regions, named Huanxian and Huachi, which highly depended on renewable emergy flow. Zhenyuan, Huanxian and Qingcheng were identified as being relatively emergy efficient, and the other five sub-regions have potential to reduce natural resource inputs and waste output to achieve the goal of efficiency.
