Movement decisions reflect compromised statewide connectivity for mountain lions in California

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.
Human‐induced habitat fragmentation threatens connectivity for populations of wide‐ranging species by compromising long‐distance dispersal. We evaluated movement‐based resource selection of dispersing mountain lions (Puma concolor) to identify specific landscape conditions influencing movement decisions and connectivity between populations across the ...

Design method of synergetic support for coal roadway

open access: yesProcedia Earth and Planetary Science, 2009
AbstractThis paper presents the concept of synergetic support with a comprehensive design method based on the existing support theories and engineering practices. The synergetic support is different from the common combined support method as it can fully mobilize all the components to bring active support and get the effect of 1+1≥2.

Key soil health indicators under humid grazing lands

open access: yesGrassland Research, EarlyView.
Soil health can be described using a few key soil health indicators that target a diversity of soil functions. This perspective article highlights how forage management affects these soil health indicators in humid‐zone grazing lands. Abstract Background Soil health describes critical soil functions influenced by land management. Although some key soil

Deformation and failure laws of roadway surrounding rock and support optimization during shallow-buried multi-seam mining

open access: yesGeomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2020
Gobs and coal pillars left in the upper coal seam exploitation bring a series of changes to the surrounding rock structures and stress environment of the roadway in the lower coal seams, which leads to difficulties in roadway maintenance.
