为探究桂西北喀斯特区石灰土与红壤坡地幼龄橘园的降雨侵蚀特征,通过室内人工模拟降雨试验,研究3种降雨强度(30,60,90 mm/h)下,石灰土与红壤坡地幼龄橘园的产流产沙特征。结果表明:(1)降雨强度为30,60 mm/h时,红壤橘园的产流总量分别为石灰土橘园的2.46,1.83倍,且红壤橘园主要以地表产流为主,石灰土橘园主要以壤中流产流为主;当降雨强度为90 mm/h时,二者产流总量无显著性差异(p>0.05),均以地表产流为主。(2)石灰土橘园与红壤橘园地表径流强度随降雨强度增大而增大 ...

This research reveals the functional stability of mixed species foraging flocks (MSF) and their foraging height change with different taxonomic differences along the elevational gradient at Knuckles Montane Reserve, Sri Lanka. This offers new insights into how MSFs sustain with the elevational gradients supporting the altitudinal shifting species ...

This study reports four rare events of spiders preying on vertebrates in the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden, Southwest China. The predators included a giant golden orb‐weaver, huntsman spiders, and a wandering spider, while the prey consisted of a small bird, a blind snake, a gecko, and a tiny shrew.
