Assessing Natural and Cultural Determinants of Urban Forest Quality in Nanjing (China)

This study assessed underlying natural and cultural determinants of tree health and ways to improve urban forest performance in compact Nanjing city. Two groups of factors were investigated: (1) habitat conditions, including planting site, ground-cover, land cover, and district; and (2) tree traits, including species provenance and seasonality, and tree dimensions. A stratified sampling strategy selected 6351 trees for detailed assessment. The data were analyzed by multivariate logistic regressions. Institutional, park-garden and industrial trees with more open-space sites with vegetated ground-cover performed better than roadside and residential ones. Poor trees in confined residential sites deviated from those in other cities. Park-garden sites did not always nurture meritorious, large and diversified trees. District differentiation in tree performance was related to land cover. Exotic and evergreen species grew better than indigenous and deciduous, offering hints on species-habitat matching. Detailed field and statistical analyses could yield tree-environment information to enhance urban forestry research and management.     

半荒漠风沙区土地沙漠化生物整治技术的研究

试验证明,土地沙漠化生物整治技术能在半荒漠风沙区取得显著的作用和效果。在柠条、毛条、花棒、杨柴、沙木蓼等灌木树种的适生立地上营造防风固沙林,林后3~4年,灌木就可郁闭成林,流动沙丘完全被控制变为固定沙丘;林下植被结构得以改善,优良品种增多,如能合理开发其饲料等用途,还具有十分可观的经济效益。     

海上丝路文化在雷州的传播、影响及其开发利用

在分析雷州具有临海、港湾众多等自然地理特征,是中国海上丝路必经之地的历史基础上,阐述海上丝路文化在雷州广泛而深入的传播,在农业土地利用、器艺制作、建筑、以佛教和妈祖崇拜为主的观念文化等方面留下深刻影响,并在很大程度上决定雷州文化具有多元、海洋、开放、包容、冒险等文化特质和风格。在当代背景下,应充分认识雷州海上丝路文化资源的历史价值、科研价值和经济价值,并通过开展海上丝路文化古迹普查,建立区域合作关系,构建海丝会展平台,进行宗教文化交流,参与海上丝绸之路申遗等途径,对雷州海上丝路文化资源加以深度发掘及开发利用,为建设“一带一路”之海上丝路服务。     

PHYSICO‐GEOCHEMICAL AND MINERAL COMPOSITION OF NEEM TREE SOILS AND RELATION TO ORGANIC PROPERTIES

The Neem tree, the oil of which has a long history of pesticide, fertilizer and medicinal use in India, has been studied extensively for its organic compounds. Here we present a physical, mineralogical and geochemical database resulting from the analyses of two Neem soil profiles (epipedons) in India. Neem tree derivatives are used in the manufacture of a variety of products, from anti‐bacterial drugs and insecticides to fertilizers and animal feeds. A preliminary geochemical and mineralogical analysis of Neem soils is made to explore the potential for chemical links between Neem tree derivatives and soils. Physical soil characteristics, including colour, texture and clay mineralogy, suggest the two pedons formed under different hydrological regimes, and hence, are products of different leaching environments, one well‐drained site, the other poorly drained. Geochemically, the two Neem soils exhibit similarities, with elevated concentrations of Th and rare earth elements. These elements are of interest because of their association with phosphates, especially monazite and apatite, and the potential link to fertilizer derivatives. Higher concentrations of trace elements in the soils may be linked to nutritional derivatives and to cell growth in the Neem tree.     

An event-based methodology for climate change and human–environment research

Abductive causal eventism (ACE) is an analytical methodology based on a pragmatic view of research methods and explanation that places at the center of research inquiry the answering of ‘why’ questions about events, including human actions or environmental changes of interest. When used in human–environment research, the methodology entails constructing causal histories of interrelated social and/or biophysical events backward in time through a process of eliminative inference and reasoning from effects to causes, called abduction. ACE encourages an eclectic use of methods, models, and theoretical ideas. It fosters integrative, interdisciplinary analysis without being committed either to systems as ontological entities or to holistic analytical frameworks. By not privileging particular theories or explanatory factors in advance, ACE enables researchers to interrogate the plausibility of different causal influences, including local environmental changes that may be related to much wider changes in climate. Likewise, behaviors or practices that may be of value in light of anticipated environmental changes can be studied without their presuming to be caused by these changes or by changes in climate per se. Research on coastal mangrove planting for storm protection in the Philippines and upland tree planting in St. Lucia are used to illustrate these arguments.     

基于行政隶属关系树状图的地名消歧方法

同一地名映射不同物理空间位置的地名歧义现象普遍存在,地名消歧是指为地名分配唯一地理位置的过程.欧美国家的地名数据库和相关知识库比较完善,提出一系列通用或适宜个别语种的地名消歧方法.由于我国当前缺乏类似的高质量数据资源,难以直接引入这些方法解决中文地名消歧问题.该文提出在地名识别和地名匹配的基础上,通过构建歧义地名行政隶属关系树状图,利用上下文相关地名在树状图中出现的子节点数,判断歧义地名指向的地理位置.实验表明,该方法简单易行,而且可以达到较好的消歧效果.     

基于线粒体Cytb基因的10种石珊瑚的系统发育关系

通过PCR扩增直接测序得到10种徐闻石珊瑚线粒体Cyt b基因部分序列,分析其碱基组成和变异频率,并采用Neighbor-Joining和Maximum Parsimony法构建系统发育树。结果显示:序列中A+T比例为61.0%,G+C比例为39.0%,前者明显高于后者,碱基替换主要发生在密码子第3位;滨珊瑚科分类与传统分类存在一定差异,揭示传统形态学分类可能受珊瑚骨骼生长可塑性限制,造成分类不准确;刺柄珊瑚属与蜂巢珊瑚科各属亲缘关系较近。     

我国全新世泥炭α纤维素稳定碳同位素记录的对比与分析

泥炭是古气候研究的宝贵材料,α纤维素稳定碳同位素（δ¹³C_cell）是泥炭古气候研究的常用代用指标。我国已有数个地点报道了全新世泥炭全样或单种植物δ¹³C_cell记录,对这些记录的古气候解译存在明显冲突。结合相应的孢粉和植物残体证据,对这些记录进行综合对比,结果发现：高山草地植被带和内陆干旱区荒漠草原植被带当中的泥炭地,全新世期间的原地植物种属构成相对稳定且未发生显著变化,因此其δ¹³C_cell记录具有较为明显的长期变化趋势,其古气候解译也更为可靠;森林植被带和林草交互带当中的泥炭地,全新世期间的原地植物种属构成发生过显著变化（如木本植物入侵）,这可能是造成其全新世δ¹³C_cell记录长期趋势不明显或其古气候指示意义复杂难解的主要原因。这些结果显示了泥炭地的原地植物种属构成,对相应δ¹³C_cell记录的古气候解译的重要影响。同时也表明,无论是泥炭δ¹³C_cell研究地点的选择,还是泥炭δ¹³C_cell记录的古气候解译,都需重视其来源植物种属构成和变化。对于全新世泥炭δ¹³C_cell古气候研究,建议开展针对性的现代过程研究,尤其是优势泥炭植物种属的δ¹³C_cell在时间序列上的现代过程研究,以提供可靠的古气候解译基础。
