Utilisation and Management Changes in South Kyrgyzstan＇s Mountain Forests

Using political ecology as its conceptual framework, this paper focuses on the changes in forest utilisation and management of South Kyrgyzstan＇s walnut-fruit forests over the last century The aim of this study on human-environment interactions is to investigate the relationship between actors on the one side, their interests and demands, and the forests and forested lands on the other. Forest resource utilisation and management - and even the recognition of different forest products as resources - are connected with political and socioeconomic conditions that change with time. The walnut-fruit forests of South Kyrgyzstan are unique, characterised by high biodiversity and a multiplicity of usable products; and they have been utilised for a long time. Centralised and formal management of the forests started with the Russian occupation and was strengthened under Soviet rule, when the region became a part of the USSR. During this era, a state forest administration that was structured from Moscow all the way down to the local level drew up detailed plans and developed procedures for utilising the different forest products. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the socio-political and economic frame conditions have changed significantly, which has brought not only the sweeping changes in the managing institutions, but also the access rights and interests in the forest resources. At present, the region is suffering from a high unemployment rate, which has resulted in the forests＇ gaining considerable importance in the livelihood strategies of the local population. Political and economic liberalization, increased communication and transregional exchange relations have opened the door for international companies and agents interested in the valuable forest products. Today, walnut wood and burls, walnuts, wild apples and mushrooms are all exported to various countries in the world. Scientists and members of various international organisations stress the ecological value of the forests and are trying to establish nature conservation areas. Nevertheless, it is to fear that a multiplicity of interrelated factors - the present transformation and globalization processes, the appearance of new actors, the local population＇s insecure economic situation and the erosion of managing institutions - are all leading to an intensified and unregulated exploitation of the forests, resulting in their degradation.

一种腐屑食性鱼类对生态系统氮循环的影响

研究表明 :腐屑食性鱼类——梭鱼对环境中有机氮的摄入能力随体重的增加而增加 ,随温度的升高 ,体重系数显著减少。摄入氮 (CN,mg/ d)与体重 (W,g)和温度 (T,℃ )的数值关系可用如下模型表示 :CN=0 .6 370 W1 .0 642 ln(3.70 0 8T)。体重为 1 0 0 g的梭鱼每日可消耗环境中 332 mg氮有机质。梭鱼氮的吸收效率主要受温度的影响 ,而氮的转化效率与体重呈显著的正相关关系。随体重的增加 ,排泄氮所占比例降低     

红树林潮沟游泳动物的季节动态研究

于1999年定量研究了广西英罗港红树林潮沟潮水中游泳运动的季节变化,共发现有游泳运动70种,包括5种软体动物,11种甲壳运动和54种鱼类,在各季节出现的游泳运动种数分别有：春37种,夏40种,秋33种,冬31种,季度出现频数F=1～4的游泳动物种数分别为33,13,14和10种,尾数以冬季最多,鲜重则以春季最大。不同季节游泳动物在尾数和鲜重上最大优势种均不同,不同种类间数量相差较为悬殊,优势种相当明显,每个季节及全部都只有少数几个种的相对重要值较大;不同季节的相对重要值最大的种不同,综合来看,脊尾白虾和前鳞骨鲻是红树林潮沟游泳动物群落最重要的优势种群。生物多样性指数D,H′,J值均以夏季最高,红树林潮沟游泳动物生物多样性高于林缘。

FPAR的Monte Carlo模拟研究

FPAR (fraction of photosynthetically active radiation absorbed by the canopy)是植被冠层阻截太阳光合有效辐射的比例,是遥感估算陆地生态系统植被净第一性生产力(NPP)的重要参数.利用Monte Carlo方法模拟光子在植被冠层中的辐射传输过程,以植被冠层二向反射分布函数的模拟来验证模拟的正确性;在此基础上对400-700nm光合作用波段范围内的植被叶片吸收光子辐射比例的FPAR进行模拟.FPAR的Monte Carlo模拟结果,揭示了FPAR与太阳天顶角及植被冠层参数之间的关系.     

一种基于空间虚拟场景的森林冠层雷达相干散射模型

建立了一种基于分形树和森林动态生长模型的森林冠层雷达相干散射模型.和非相干散射模型相比,相干散射模型不仅考虑了每个散射体的空间位置信息,还保留了后向散射信号中的相位信息.利用已建立的模型模拟了大兴安岭常青林场某一区域白桦纯林的雷达后向散射信号,验证结果说明模型是可靠的,是可以用来反演森林的几何结构和生物物理参数的.
