Trippi,1 Harvey E. Belkin,1 Shifeng Dai,2 Susan J. Tewalt,3 and Chiu-Jung Chou4 Introduction China depends on coal for most of its energy supply and surpassed the United States in coal production in 1983 (fig. 1). In 2009, China consumed about 3.5 billion short tons (3.175 tonnes) of coal, over 46 percent of the world total, which accounted for 71 percent of China’s total primary energy consumption (Energy Information Administration, 2011). By 2010, China’s coal consumption increased to 48.2 percent of the world’s coal production, and accounted for nearly two-thirds of global consumption growth (British Petroleum, 2011). According to the World Energy Council (2010), in 2009 China had the third largest amount of recoverable coal reserves at 114.5 billion short tons (103.87 tonnes) (about 14 percent of the world’s total reserves), surpassed only by the United States and Russia (Energy Information Administration, 2011). Most Chinese coal resources are bituminous in rank and range from early Carboniferous to Neogene in age (Dai and others, 2012). Shanxi province has been a major supplier of coal resources in the past, and Inner Mongolia has become very important in recent years (Energy Information Administration, 2011). Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, with up to 2.2 trillion tonnes of reserves (including the newly discovered 89.2 billion tonne Sha’er Lake reserve) may become the largest producer of Chinese coal in the near future (World Coal Association, 2011; China Daily, 2011).

However, a lack of multi-scale studies on intra-urban green space limits our knowledge of human settlement environments in this region. In this study, a synergistic methodology, including the main process of linear spectral decomposition, vegetation-soil-impervious surface area model, and artificial digital technology, was established to generate a multi-scale of green space (i.e., 15-m resolution intra-urban green components and 0.5-m resolution park region) and investigate multi-scale green space characteristics as well as its ecological service in 12 central cities of the Inner Mongolian Plateau.

Schäpe, Helena Röttgers, Nikita Tychkov 1. Territorial and geographical location Ili Delta, Kazakhstan Almatinskaya Oblast (province), Bakanas Rayon (county) The Ili Delta is part of the Ramsar Site Ile River Delta and South Lake Balkhash Ramsar Site 2. Natural and geographic data Basic geographical data: location between 45° N and 46° N as well as 74° E and 75.5° E. Fig. 1: Map of the Ili-Balkhash Basin (Imentai et al., 2015). Natural areas: The Ramsar Site Ile River Delta and South Lake Balkhash Ramsar Site comprises wetlands and meadow vegetation (the modern delta), ancient river terraces that now harbour Saxaul and Tamarx shrub vegetation, and the southern coast line of the western part of Lake Balkhash. Most ecosystem services can be attributed to the wetlands and meadow vegetation. Therefore, this study focusses on the modern delta with its wetlands and meadows. During this study, a land cover map was created through classification of Rapid Eye Satellite images from the year 2014. The land cover classes relevant for this study were: water bodies in the delta, dense reed (total vegetation more than 70%), and open reed and shrub vegetation (vegetation cover of reed 20- 70% and vegetation cover of shrubs and trees more than 70%). The land cover class dense reed was further split into submerged dense reed and non-submerged dense reed by applying a threshold to the short wave infrared channel of a Landsat satellite image from 4 April 2015.

BACKGROUND The total forest area in Kazakhstan is about 12.6 million hectares, which makes it one of the richest in forest countries in Eurasia, despite the low level of forest cover, which is only 4.6%. Approximately 95% of the forests (wooded areas) in Kazakhstan are managed by 123 forestry administrations, which are controlled by regional governments (akimats). There are three main types of forest ecosystems in Kazakhstan: alpine mountain forests, tugai (southern coastal) forests and saxaul landscapes (desert and semi-desert shrubs). Since 2018, the GEF-UNDP project "Conservation and sustainable management of key globally significant ecosystems for obtaining various benefits" (hereinafter referred to as the project) has been implemented on the territory of the republic. The project strategy is to holistically address the conservation and sustainable use of forest ecosystems in Kazakhstan, through management approaches including both protected areas and sustainable use of associated HCVF landscapes (maps of the project areas are presented in Appendices 4, 5, 6 to the Terms of Reference).

BMC Ophthalmology (2018) 18:41 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12886-018-0705-6 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Prevalence and causes of blindness, visual impairment among different ethnical minority groups in Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, China Yanping Li1, Wenyong Huang2, Aoyun Qiqige3, Hongwei Zhang4, Ling Jin2, Pula Ti5, Jennifer Yip6 and Baixiang Xiao1,2* Abstract Background: The aim of this cross-sectional study is to ascertain the prevalence and causes of blindness, visual impairment, uptake of cataract surgery among different ethnic groups in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, China. Methods: Four thousand one hundred fifty people at 50 years and above from different minority ethnic groups were randomly selected for an eye examination. The four trained eye teams collected data using tumbling E visual chart, torch, portable slit lamp and direct ophthalmoscope in 2015. The World Health Organization’s definition of blindness and visual impairment (VI) was used to classify patients in each ethnic group. Data were analyzed by different minority groups and were compared with Han Chinese. Results: 3977 (95.8%) out of 4150 people were examined. The prevalence of blindness from the study population was 1. 7% (95% confidence interval: 1.3–2.2%).There was no significant difference in prevalence of blindness between Han Chinese and people of Khazak and other minority ethnic groups, nor, between male and female. Cataract was the leading course (65.5%) of blindness and uncorrected refractive error was the most common cause of VI (36.3%) followed by myopic retinopathy. The most common barrier to cataract surgery was lack of awareness of service availability.
