Uncovering correlates of decline and critical refuges for a threatened terrestrial mammal
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Globally, the geographic ranges of numerous species are contracting. Identifying spatiotemporal patterns of threat impact can illuminate why species decline in some parts of their range but persist in others. We developed a correlative approach to identify species’ response thresholds and locate ecological refuge areas associated with ...

Effects of restoration practices on biodiversity in temperate and boreal forests
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Several restoration practices are used to mitigate and compensate for the negative effects of large‐scale forestry on biodiversity in temperate and boreal forests. A comprehensive synthesis of the benefits of these practices across taxa is missing. We conducted a systematic review and meta‐analysis on this topic.

Shuitu Baochi Xuebao, 2018 利用钻探和抽水试验资料，结合遥感资料和植被实地样方调查资料，分析了该区地下水富集特征和开发利用对生态环境的影响。结果表明：含水层的厚度是地下水富集的主控因素，二者呈正相关关系；基底古凹陷分布区含水层厚度较大，是地下水的富集区；埋深3 m是滩地地下水开采的约束水位，过量的开采可能造成湖盆滩地植被向沙地植被的演替或退化，甚至消亡，加快沙漠化进程；地下水开采对沙地、沙丘生长的耐干旱植被物种的影响较小。研究结果可为该区内水源地选址、地下水合理开发利用、水土保持和生态环境保护提供基础理论和数据。

Behavioral interventions to reduce demand for threatened freshwater turtles as pets
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Growing demand for freshwater turtles as pets has fueled illegal trade and accelerated wild population declines, underscoring the need for theory‐based demand‐reduction interventions. We conducted a three‐part randomized controlled trial with active turtle keepers (n = 1800) in China to test conservation‐ and legality‐framed messages by ...

Shuitu Baochi Xuebao, 2008 对奇台县坎儿井分布状况、兴衰过程、地质情况、地下水位实地调查和其社会经济的资料分析表明,奇台县坎儿井经历了从1949年开挖,20世纪60年代初数量达到最多,20世纪80年代初期全部废弃的一个由兴到衰的过程。人口增加和农业生产的发展是导致地下水位迅速下降、坎儿井干枯的根本原因。坎儿井数量变化过程与人口、耕地增加过程早期基本一致,后期变化方向相反。人口数量达到90 000人,水浇地为50 000 hm2时,平均地下水埋深为5 m左右,坎儿井开始衰亡。坎儿井全部废弃时平均地下水位约深8 m,此时 ...

Shuitu Baochi Xuebao, 2023 通过在榆溪河流域沿地下水埋深增大方向设置植被调查样带,基于植被盖度、地下水埋深及土壤含水量等数据,利用多元经验模态分解(MEMD)获取植被盖度及其影响因子所表征的空间尺度,结构方程解析植被盖度空间分布的驱动因素,并结合聚类分析划分了植被群落自然恢复演替空间格局状态变化特征。结果表明:(1) MEMD将空间多元数据分解为3个本征模态函数,经希尔伯特转换得到各模态函数相应的空间尺度分别为14,27,38 km;(2)结构方程模型和MEMD分解后的最大表征尺度相关分析表明 ...

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Research on English‐Medium‐Instruction (EMI) highlights inadequate support for students transitioning from L1‐medium‐instruction to EMI. To date, little research has focused on how L2 students’ adaptation to an EMI environment influences their L2 learning motivation (LLM).

Shuitu Baochi Xuebao, 2007 通过对研究区内多年水质监测资料的分析,查明了昆明盆地浅层地下水中三氮的含量及其分布规律,在此基础上,从地下水污染源、区内的地质环境条件以及地下水开采等方面探讨了地下水中三氮的迁移、转化及其污染机理.最后,指出三氮污染已成为昆明盆地浅层地下水污染的普遍问题,地下水三氮入湖通量在一定程度上对滇池的富营养化发展起了作用.

Journal of Sociolinguistics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study investigates how ordinary Taiwanese netizens perform linguistic authority by policing others’ use of Mainland Chinese expressions in everyday online interactions not originally intended to be political and how such policing is subsequently supported, resisted, or (de)legitimized in the context of Taiwan–China relations.

Compliance in Regulatory Gray Areas: The Case of the Organic Seed Standard
Policy Studies Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Adaptive regulations, designed to balance flexibility with accountability, can embed provisions that unintentionally leave room for firms to shirk on their responsibilities by exploiting flexibility. We call these provisions “regulatory gray areas,” and ask: how should we understand (non‐)compliance in adaptive regulatory settings?
