Habitat loss is one of the main factors impacting endangered wildlife in China. The Tibetan foxVulpes ferrilata Hodgson, 1842 is a characteristic species of the Tibetan Plateau. However, its habitat use is poorly known. We conducted a project (2001–2003) to better understand habitat use by the Tibetan fox in Shiqu County, Sichuan Province, China. The research site was classified into four land cover categories: grassland, grassland and shrubs, shrubs, and disturbed area (more than half of the area in a plot covered by bare soil and gravel). Their proportional share in land cover categories was estimated by line transects and used as expected land cover. Plots were also located at fox locations, fox dens, and fox feces (hereafter “fox plots”). Using Bonferroniz-statistics, land cover proportions in fox plots were compared with the expected land cover proportions. Tibetan foxes were found primarily in grassland habitat and there was evidence of use of grassland/shrub habitat and disturbed area. However, the fox were rarely observed in shrubs. Two reasons for this are: (1) the need of prey, pika, which mainly lives in open areas; (2) the requirement of security from natural enemies.
The fatigue problem induced by wave loads and floater movements of dynamic umbilicals in deepwater is studied. The prediction method of the fatigue life is investigated by considering no-linear local stress due to contact and friction between components of the umbilical. A case study of a dynamic umbilical for 1500 meters depth in South China Sea was presented. The results showed that the more accurate result of the fatigue life was calculated by considering non-linear local stress. The fatigue life by considering local stress with the no-slip assumption was conservative. An obviously longer fatigue life was obtained by considering local stress with the full-slip assumption
Agricultural drainage ditches are a reflection of the disturbance caused by agriculture and other human perturbations associated with agricultural activities, and the density of them can be seen as an important gradient reflecting local disturbance. However, no studies to date have examined the changes in wetland communities in relation to drainage ditch densities, yet such information is urgently needed for the conservation of wetland ecosystems facing intensive cultivation. In this paper, we inventoried 67 plots at four wetland mosaics with the ditch density values ranged 0–3.6 km km⁻² in the Sanjiang Plain, and the species richness, composition and diversity were compared among those four sites. Linear regression was used to explore relationships between wetland community pattern and agricultural ditch density, and the results show that there is significant relationship (r² = 0.56, P <0.001). The diversity comparisons show that there exist a clear negative relationship between ditch density and species diversity indices, and the species diversity did not differ greatly among sites, but species composition varied considerably. With increasing ditch density, an increasing loss of indigenous wetland species paralleled with an increasing incursion of upland species. Management implication from the drainage ditches is that the density of 1.2 km km⁻² be the maximum value suitable for the protection of native wetlands in Sanjiang plain.
