In this study, the pole-axis system (involving multi-level central places and roads) was recognized as a proxy of direct risk to wetlands stemming from human activities at the regional or watershed scale. In this respect, the pole-axis system and central place theory were adopted to analyze the spatial agglomeration characteristics of regional human activities. Soil erosion and non-point source (NPS) pollution, indicating the indirect effect of human activities on wetlands, were also considered. Based on these human disturbance proxies, which are considered regional risk sources to wetlands, incorporated with another two indicators of regional environment, i.e., vulnerability and ecological capital indexes, the regional ecological risk assessment (RERA) framework of wetlands was finally established. Using this wetland RERA framework, the spatial heterogeneity

  • 2017July Table of Tiger Crime Incidents.Xlsx
    Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) TABLE OF TIGER CRIME INCIDENTS, 01 JANUARY 1999-25 JULY 2017 Summary: This table accompanies the Global Tiger Map (2017) and shows at least 509 tigers were seized in China, Thailand, Vietnam and Lao PDR in the timeframe. To gain a count of individual tigers seized, this figure is based on skins, live, carcasses and stuffed tigers. This excludes counting incidents of bones alone, to avoid duplicate counting of tiger parts which may come from the same individual, however these parts are also shown. The number of tigers seized in trade across the region is likely to be higher. Without consistent DNA analysis, or stripe pattern analysis to cross-reference with databases of camera-trap images, it is impossible to say for certain what the source of these tigers is. However, based on a review of circumstances around seizures, it is possible that 61 per cent of the tigers shown here may have been sourced from captive facilities (either wild-caught and laundered through captive facilities, or bred in captivity.

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.

    Annual Development Report on China's Trademark Strategy 2013 TRADEMARK OFFICE/TRADEMARK REVIEW AND ADJUDICATION BOARD OF STATE ADMINISTRATION FOR INDUSTRY AND COMMERCE PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA China Industry & Commerce Press Preface Preface 2013 was a crucial year for comprehensively implementing the conclusions of the 18th CPC National Congress and the second & third plenary session of the 18th CPC Central Committee. Facing the new situation and task of thoroughly reforming and duty transformation, as well as the opportunities and challenges brought by the revised Trademark Law, Trademark staff in AICs at all levels followed the arrangement of SAIC and got new achievements by carrying out trademark strategy and taking innovation on trademark practice, theory and mechanism. ——Trademark examination and review achieved great progress. In 2013, trademark applications increased to 1.8815 million, with a year-on-year growth of 14.15%, reaching a new record in the history and keeping the highest a mount of the world for consecutive 12 years. Under the pressure of trademark examination, Trademark Office and TRAB of SAIC faced the difficuties positively, and made great efforts on soloving problems. Trademark Office and TRAB of SAIC optimized the examination procedure, properly allocated examiners, implemented the mechanism of performance incentive, and carried out the “double-points” management. As a result, the Office examined 1.4246 million trademark applications, 16.09% more than last year. The examination period was maintained within 10 months, and opposition period was shortened to 12 months, which laid a firm foundation for performing the statutory time limit. —— Implementing trademark strategy with a shift to effective use and protection of trademark by law.

The Nadanhada terrane of northeastern Heilongjiang, northeastern China is composed of Jurassic accretionary complexes (i.e., the Yuejinshan Complex in the west, the Raohe Complex in the east) and succedent cover beds. In this paper we report two radiolarian assemblages recognized from four black claystone samples collected from the Dalingqiao Formation in the Dajiashan area of the Raohe Complex. The Striatojaponocapsa synconexa-“Tricolocapsa” tetragona assemblage of one sample consists of eleven species in eight genera, which indicates a middle Bathonian (Middle Jurassic) age, i.e., correlative with the uppermost Striatojaponocapsa 1 plicarum Zone to the lower Striatojaponocapsa conexa Zone.
