There is profound interest in knowing the degree to which China's institutions are capable of protecting its natural forests and biodiversity face economic political change. 2 most important forest-protection policies National Forest Protection Program (NFPP) national-level nature reserves (NNRs). The NFPP was implemented 2000 response deforestation-caused flooding. We undertook first national, quantitative assessment NNRs examine whether achieved deforestation-reduction target deter...
An increasing number of end-users looking for ground data about fire activity in regions where accurate official datasets are not available adopt a free-of-charge global burned area (BA) and active (AF) products applications at the local scale. One pressing requirements from user community is an improved ability to detect small fires (less than 50 ha), whose impact on terrestrial environments empirically known but poorly quantified, often excluded earth system models. The newest generation...
Remote mountainous regions are among the Earth’s last remaining wild spots, hosting rare ecosystems and rich biodiversity. Because of access difficulties low population density, baseline information about natural human-induced disturbances in these is often limited or nonexistent. Landsat time series offer invaluable opportunities to reconstruct past land cover changes. However, applicability this approach strongly depends on availability good quality, cloud-free images, acquired at a...
Abstract Primates, 69% of which are threatened with extinction, the third most specious order mammals. We used primates as model taxa to examine umbrella effects on ecosystem services and protection other vertebrates seed plants in Yunnan Province, China. identified areas conservation priority for 16 primate species determined endemic terrestrial would be protected through a program targeting conservation. Areas high richness were spatially correlated distribution 601 4010 plants. Primate...
The vast accumulation of environmental data and the rapid development geospatial visualization analytical techniques make it possible for scientists to solicit information from local citizens map spatial variation geographic phenomena. However, provided by (referred as citizen in this article) suffer two limitations mapping: bias coverage imprecision location. This article presents an approach minimizing impacts these using analysis techniques. reduces location adopting a frequency-sampling...
Difficult to study species that inhabit inaccessible terrain, present significant challenges in obtaining accurate ecological, distributional, and conservation information. To address these challenges, we used an effective set of time- cost-efficient methods including interview-based surveys assisted by Google earth 3D maps document the distributional range 32 native animal taxa biodiverse but difficult access Gaoligong Mountains (GLGMS), located on northern Sino-Myanmar Border. Five...
Transfer learning is extensively utilized for automatically recognizing and filtering out empty camera trap images that lack animal presence. Current research uses transfer identifying typically solely updates the fully connected layer of models, they usually select a pre-trained source model only based on its relevance to target task. However, do not consider optimization update selection, nor investigate effect sample size class number domain data set used construct performance model. Both...
Identifying ecological factors underlying primate group size has been a central theme in behavioral ecology. The constraints model proposes that increased leads to enhanced within‐group feeding competition, necessitating travel encounter additional or more productive sites. Over the course of three years, we studied largest known (>80 individuals) Trachypithecus crepusculus (Indo‐Chinese gray langur) for 1738 hours during 213 days (including 96 full day follows) Wuliangshan, China. During...
Abstract Aim Species ranges in mountain areas may shift both horizontally and altitudinally, resulting from climate change anthropogenic impact. Two hypotheses (the abundant centre hypothesis the contagion hypothesis) have been proposed to account for patterns of horizontal range contraction. However, undulating topograph causes a mosaic unsuitable habitats, which complicate spatial pattern We develop framework incorporating altitudinal contraction species living areas, better understand...
Abstract Cultivated chrysanthemum ( Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat.) is an economically important ornamental plant species grown worldwide. However, the origin of genus remains unclear. This study was conducted in Hengduan Mountains, Yunnan Province. We took advantage a special geographic region where southernmost Ajania and highest altitude population indicum coexist to investigate their evolutionary origins. Diversity analysis 9 populations 5 that came from 3 genera carried out based on...
Abstract: The greatest concentration of Chinese Galliformes occurs in the Trans‐Himalayas. We selected 4 northwestern Yunnan counties (Lijiang, Shangri‐la, Deqin, and Weixi) Trans‐Himalayas to assess conservation status 9 gallinaceous forest birds. developed maps depicting recent cover modeled habitat availability each bird based on 3 factors that restrict its distribution: geographic location, elevation range, coverage. species was inadequate, because <10% their respective potential...
Abstract Studies on volunteered geographic information (VGI) have focused examining its validity to reveal phenomena in relatively recent periods. Empirical evaluation of the VGI historical periods (e.g., decades ago) is lacking, although such desirable for assessing possibility broadening temporal scope applications. This article presents an through a citizen data‐based habitat suitability mapping case study. Citizen data (i.e., sightings) black‐and‐white snub‐nosed monkey ( Rhinopithecus...
Environmental factors that affect spatiotemporal distribution patterns of animals usually include resource availability, temperature, and the risk predation. However, they do not explain counterintuitive preference high elevation range in winter by black-and-white snub-nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus bieti). We asked whether variation sunshine along with elevations is key driving force. To test this hypothesis, we conducted field surveys to demonstrate there was a statistically significant...
