It is known to have a unique fauna, including 14 described endemic species. In order to describe the zoobenthic community of the lake more completely, the present study was conducted from August 2002 to August 2003. Altogether 62 benthic taxa, including 22 oligochaetes, 21 molluscs and 18 insects were identified, of which the dominant taxa belonged to Potamothrix, Procladius and Paraprososthenia. The standing stocks of benthos were much higher in the littoral (824 ind/m2 in density, 3.72 g/m2 in biomass) than in the profundal region (23 ind/m2 in density, 0.10 g/m2 in biomass). Species richness was greatest in summer and standing stocks were larger in spring and summer than in other seasons. Analyses of functional feeding groups indicated that collector-gatherers and scrapers were predominant in entire lake. Stepwise multiple regression analysis demonstrated that the water depth is the most important factor affecting the distribution of macrozoobenthos. r 2008 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.

Plateau lakes have significant ecological value. With economic development, lake pollution and ecological degradation have become increasingly prominent. There are many ecological risk assessment methods. This article combines four different ecological risk assessment methods including single-factor pollution index, geological accumulation index method, potential risk index method, and pollution load index method to analyze the heavy metal pollution in Yangzong seabed mud as comprehensively as possible. It shows that the results obtained by different ecological risk assessment methods are slightly different. The overall trends of the geological pollution index and the single-factor pollution index are similar. In terms of time, except for the two elements of mercury and cadmium, the contents of other heavy metals in 2019 are lower than in 2018, indicating that heavy metal pollution has decreased in 2019; from the perspective of spatial distribution, In 2018, the overall pollution level on the south side of Yangzonghai was higher than that in the central and northern regions of Yangzonghai . On the whole, whether it is the potential risk index or the appropriate pollution load index, the pollution level on the south side of Yangzonghai is higher than that in the central and northern areas of Yangzonghai, and the northern area has the least pollution. ecosystems is relatively reduced, which makes the economic development of plateau lake basins face severe 1 Introduction challenges.

  • Water Resource Risk Assessment Based on Non-Point Source Pollution
    water Article Water Resource Risk Assessment Based on Non-Point Source Pollution Xiaodie Yuan and Zhang Jun * School of Architecture and Planning, Yunnan University, Kunming 650500, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: As one of the most important causes of water quality deterioration, NPS (non-point source) pollution has become an urgent environmental and livelihood issue. To date, there have been only a few studies focusing on NPS pollution conforming to the estimation, and the pollution sources are mainly concentrated in nitrogen and phosphorus nutrients. Unlike studies that only consider the intensity of nitrogen and phosphorus loads, the NPS pollution risk for the China’s Fuxian Lake Basin was evaluated in this study by using IECM (Improve Export Coefficient Model) and RUSLE (Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation) models to estimate nitrogen and phosphorus loads and soil loss and by using a multi-factor NPS pollution risk assessment index established on the basis of the data mentioned above. First, the results showed that the load intensity of nitrogen and phosphorus pollution in the Fuxian Lake Basin is low, so agricultural production and life are important sources of pollution. Second, the soil loss degree of erosion in the Fuxian Lake is mild, so topography is one of the most important factors affecting soil erosion. Third, the risk of NPS pollution in the Fuxian Lake Basin is at a medium level and its spatial distribution characteristics are similar to the intensity characteristics of nitrogen and phosphorus loss. Nitrogen, phosphorus, sediment, and mean concentrations are important factors affecting NPS pollution.

  • The Countermeasure Research of Sustainable Development in the Fuxian Lake Basin
    2021 4th International Conference on Interdisciplinary Social Sciences & Humanities (SOSHU 2021) The Countermeasure Research of Sustainable Development in the Fuxian Lake Basin Qingjuan Meng, Guangzhou Zhao, Yong Tang, Yuanlin Hu, Jie Li, Hongzhe Zhang, Zhifang Chen, Junjie Li, Zhenhua Song, Hailong Wang, Youlin Zhang Oxbridge College, Kunming University of Science and Technology, Kunming, Yunnan, China, 650106 Keywords: The Countermeasure, Research of Sustainable Development, Fuxian Lake Abstract: The sustainable development of the Fuxian Lake Basin aims to maintain the sound and sustainable development of mountains, rivers, forests, croplands, lakes, and grasses in the basin and to coordinate the relationship of society, economy, environment, production, life, and ecological water utilization so that social economy in the basin can adapt to the carrying capacity of water resource environment to determine needs and development with rivers. Development is conducting in protection while protection is implementing in development, so as to strongly develop the circular economy. On the basis of the water environmental transition in the Fuxian Lake, this thesis analyzed the developmental status and existing problems of the Fuxian Lake Basin and put forward countermeasures from four aspects including ecological development, economic development, social development, and scientific development, hoping to provide theoretical support and practical experience of the sustainable development research for plateau lakes. The Fuxian Lake is situated in Yuxi City, Yunnan Province. It is the deep-water freshwater lake with the greatest water storage and also the only high-quality freshwater lake of China. The Fuxian Lake steps over Chengjiang, Jiangchuan, and Huaning, situated in the central part of five lakes(the Fuxian Lake, the Xingyun Lake, the Qilu Lake, Yangzong Lake, and Dianchi)(Figure 1).

  • 7. CET-Kunming
    7. CET-Kunming a. Ken Tanaka, Summer 2019 Final Report Introduction ​ A good amount of Yalies on the Light Fellowship probably won't consider studying in Kunming. Some might not even know that Kunming exists. Others might think that Kunming, a city with a measly population of 6.2 million in far-off Yunnan province, isn't as fun to spend the summer at in comparison to glitzy Shanghai or iconic Beijing. Yet some more students might automatically choose a program like HBA - after all, HBA is abound with Yale students, and who wouldn't want to spend some time in China with people you already know from school? If you don't consider Kunming as a potential place to study at, I'm going to keep it real with you and say that you're making a big mistake. Choosing to study Chinese through CET-Kunming has been one of the greatest experiences of my college time, and I believe that CET-Kunming, while perhaps not as renown as PiB, HBA, or ICLP, is truly a hidden gem. My name is Ken Tanaka, and I'm a current junior (class of 2021) majoring in Global Affairs. I took a year of Chinese my junior year of high school (equivalent to L1 here), and then took CHNS120, CHNS 130, and CHNS140 my freshman spring through my sophomore spring. As I was not a freshman when considering studying abroad in China, I will admit that I was a little bit hesitant at first when considering study abroad - after all, many of my peers were applying for internships.

Running head: Queensland pronocephaloid cercariae. Author for correspondence: D.C. Huston, Email: [email protected]. 1 Abstract The superfamily Pronocephaloidea Looss, 1899 comprises digeneans occurring in the gut and respiratory organs of fishes, turtles, marine iguanas, birds and mammals. Although many life cycles are known for species of the Notocotylidae Lühe, 1909 maturing in birds and mammals, relatively few are known for the remaining pronocephaloid lineages. We report the cercariae of five pronocephaloid species from marine gastropods of the Queensland coast, Australia. From Lizard Island, northern Great Barrier Reef, we report three cercariae, two from Rhinoclavis vertagus (Cerithiidae) and one from Nassarius coronatus (Nassariidae). From Moreton Bay, southern Queensland, an additional two cercariae are reported from two genotypes of the gastropod worm shell Thylacodes sp. (Vermetidae). Phylogenetic analysis using 28S rRNA gene sequences shows all five species are nested within the Pronocephaloidea, but not matching or particularly close to any previously sequenced taxon. In combination, phylogenetic and ecological evidence suggests that most of these species will prove to be pronocephalids parasitic in marine turtles.
