It is generally perceived that biodiversity better protected from human activities after an area designated as a area. However, we found this common perception was not true in Wolong Nature Reserve (southwestern China), which established 1975 “flagship” for the world-renowned endangered giant pandas. Analyses of remote sensing data pre- and post-establishment periods indicate reserve has become more fragmented less suitable panda habitation. The rate loss high-quality habitat reserve's...
AbstractTraditional approaches to studying human–environment interactions often ignore individual-level information, do not account for complexities, or fail integrate cross-scale cross-discipline data and methods, thus, in many situations, resulting a great loss predictive explanatory power. This article reports on the development, implementation, validation, results of an agent-based spatial model that addresses such issues. Using from Wolong Nature Reserve giant pandas (China), simulates...
Fanjinshan National Nature Reserve (FNNR) is a biodiversity hotspot in China that part of larger, multi-use landscape where farming, grazing, tourism, and other human activities occur. The steep terrain persistent cloud cover pose challenges to robust vegetation land use mapping. Our objective develop satellite image classification techniques can reliably map forest while minimizing the issues, provide basis for long-term monitoring. Multi-seasonal Landsat composites elevation ancillary...
We discuss institutional reforms to China’s protected area management. Currently (as elsewhere), areas suffer fragmented management, lack of a comprehensive classification, inadequate coverage biodiversity and ecosystem services, divided, inconsistent legislation. recommend establishing new system management that can address past difficulties by using ongoing as unprecedented opportunities. Establishing is the major strategy for conserving worldwide [1.Watson J.E. et al.The performance...

To counter their widespread loss, global aspirations are for no net loss of remaining wetlands [1Conservation FoundationProtecting America's Wetlands: An Action Agenda: The Final Report the National Wetlands Policy Forum. Conservation Foundation, 1988Google Scholar]. We examine whether this goal alone is sufficient managing China's wetlands, they constitute 10% world's total. Analyzing wetland changes between 2000 and 2015 using 30-m-resolution satellite images, we show that expanded by...
We introduce a new research framework for analyzing the spatial distribution of web pages and social media (Twitter) messages with related contents, called Visualizing Information Space in Ontological Networks (VISION). This innovative method can facilitate tracking ideas events disseminated cyberspace from spatial-temporal perspective. Thousands millions tweets associated same keywords were converted into visualization maps using commercial search engines (Yahoo application programming...
Existing influenza surveillance in the United States is focused on collection of data from sentinel physicians and hospitals; however, compilation distribution reports are usually delayed by up to 2 weeks. With popularity social media growing, Internet a source for syndromic due availability large amounts data. In this study, tweets, or posts 140 characters less, website Twitter were collected analyzed their potential as seasonal influenza.There three aims: (1) improve correlation tweets...
Multiple candidates of COVID-19 vaccines have entered Phase III clinical trials in the United States (US). There is growing optimism that social distancing restrictions and face mask requirements could be eased with widespread vaccine adoption soon.We developed a dynamic compartmental model transmission for four most severely affected states (New York, Texas, Florida, California). We evaluated effectiveness coverage required to suppress epidemic scenarios when contact was return pre-pandemic...
Global biodiversity loss is largely driven by human activities such as the conversion of natural to human-dominated landscapes. A popular approach mitigating land cover change designation protected areas (e.g., nature reserves). Nature reserves are traditionally perceived strongholds conservation. However, many affected changes not only within their boundaries, but also in surrounding areas. This study analyzed habitat for giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) inside Wolong Reserve, Sichuan,...
Understorey vegetation is a critical component of biodiversity and an essential habitat for many wildlife species. However, compared to overstorey, information about understorey distribution scant, available mainly over small areas or through imprecise large area maps from tedious time-consuming field surveys. A practical approach classifying remote sensing data needed more accurate analyses estimates. As case study, we mapped the spatial bamboo in Wolong Nature Reserve (south-western China)...
Research on the determinants of land use change and its relationship to vulnerability (broadly defined), biotic diversity ecosystem services (e.g. Gullison et al. 2007), health Patz 2004) climate van der Werf has accelerated. Evidence this increased interest is demonstrated by several examples. Funding agencies in US (National Institutes Health, National Science Foundation, Aeronautics Space Administration Oceanic Atmospheric Administration) around world have their support science. In...
Coupled human and natural systems (CHANS) are characterized by many complex features, including feedback loops, nonlinearity thresholds, surprises, legacy effects time lags, resilience. Agent-based models (ABMs) powerful for handling such complexity in CHANS models, facilitating in-depth understanding of dynamics. ABMs have been employed mostly on a site-specific basis, however. Little this work provides common infrastructure with which researchers (especially nonmodeling experts) can...
Surveillance plays a vital role in disease detection, but traditional methods of collecting patient data, reporting to health officials, and compiling reports are costly time consuming. In recent years, syndromic surveillance tools have expanded researchers able exploit the vast amount data available real on Internet at minimal cost. Many sources for infoveillance exist, this study focuses status updates (tweets) from Twitter microblogging website.The aim was explore interaction between...

Deer surveys play an important role in the estimation of local ecological balance. In Chitwan National Park Nepal, dense tree canopies and tall vegetation often obscure presence wild deer, which has a negative effect on accurate population deer. DJI drones equipped with infrared sensors have been widely used to regularly monitor deer conservation areas capture lot thermal images. How automatically review count number objects from images is becoming more important. Due difference between RGB...
