Using the guild concept in the assessment of tree harvesting effects on understory herbs: A cautionary note

To help determine whether plants should be grouped into guilds for environmental impact assessment, the responses of six members of a guild of deciduous forest herbs to selective tree harvesting were compared. Harvesting operations themselves (tree cutting and skidding) had little effect on five of the six species but the sixth species decreased more in cut plots than in uncut plots. Subsequent microclimatic changes, resulting from tree cutting, also affected guild members differently. In the first year after cutting, two species increased more in cut plots than in uncut plots, while three other species did not change in frequency of occurrence and the sixth species decreased more in cut plots than in uncut plots. This inconsistent response of guild members to tree harvesting suggests that caution should be exercised in using guilds to assess plant response to environmental change.

世界自然遗产─武陵源

武陵源，位于湖南省西北部张家界市与慈利县、桑植县交界处，方圆３６９ｋｍ~２，由张家界、天子山、索溪峪、杨家界、茅岩河、九天洞、天门山等景区组成。１９８２年，张家界被命名为我国第一个国家森林公园。１９９２年，武陵源（主要包括张家界、天子山、索溪峪）被联合国教科文组织作为世界著名的旅游胜地列入世界自然遗产名录。     

陆良彩色沙林国家地质公园地质和美学评价

陆良彩色沙林从地质价值看具有特殊性，是流水侵蚀地貌的代表，也是复原古环境的特殊证据。危沙成林的特异地貌以及呈色原因的复杂化，为发展科普旅游提供了特殊的条件。通过专家学者的考证及全球对比分析，彩色沙林中国唯一、全球罕见的地质稀缺性初步得到证实。另一方面，彩色沙林多彩的沙美在自然、美在协调，有较高的旅游观赏价值。

A preliminary study on the characteristics of fogwater in the masson pine forest in Chongqing, China

The masson pine (Pinns massoniana Lamb.) forest of 2000 ha situated on Nanshan, the south bank of the Yangtze River near Chongqing, China. From 1982, some trees began to die. Since then, half of the trees have died and the whole forest is in danger. Prom November 1986 to January 1987, a study dealt with the characteristics of fogwater in that area was carried out, in order to explain the relationship between acid fog and masson pine decline. The results of our study showed that the acid fog might be responsible in part for the decline of the masson pine forest.     

Satellite-Derived Mean Fire Return Intervals As Indicators Of Change In Siberia (1995–2002)

Under current climate change scenarios, temperatures in Siberia are expected to increase, and consequently, fire is also expected to increase. Potential climate-induced change is difficult to assess in Siberia because ground-based fire data are not complete. This investigation introduces a method by which potential climate-induced change can be remotely evaluated. Mean fire return intervals are established for 58 ecosystems across Siberia using eight years of satellite-based area burned data (1995 to 2002). Mean fire return intervals should decrease under current climate change scenarios, however the results do not currently demonstrate consistent evidence of fire-induced change. The overall boreal forest mean fire return interval is lower than the published mean, inferring increased fire. Most notably, using satellite data to calculate mean fire return intervals in individual ecosystems for the entire population of fire is shown to be a viable method by which potential climate-induced land cover change can be evaluated.
