Abstract:
From March 2017 to July 2021, the diversity of large and medium-sized mammals in the Xiaozhaizigou National Nature Reserve and its surrounding areas were continuously monitored by infrared camera technology according to the kilometer grid sampling scheme in Sichuan province. During the research period, with an intensive survey effort of 71593 efficient camera days at 230 locations (126 grids), a total of 28707 photographs and videos and 6071 independent and effective records of wild mammals were collected. A total of 22 wild mammal species belonging to 13 families and 4 orders were identified. Among them, 4 species were national I-class protected wild animals and 10 species were national II-class protected wild animals. Two species were evaluated as Endangered (EN), six species were Vulnerable (VU) and two species were Near threatened (NT) by IUCN Red List. The recorded Siberian Weasel (Mustela sibirica) was a new record in the nature reserve. The results showed that the distribution grid number of 18 species, including Chinese Goral (Naemorhedus griseus), Wild Boar (Sus scrofa), Himalayan Black Bear (Ursus thibetanus) and Golden Snub-nosed Monkey (Rhinopithecus roxellana), was not less than 10, and the corresponding grid occupancy rate and relative abundance index RAI were in the forefront. A large number of mammal species (18~20 species) were recorded in different functional areas of the nature reserve. There were many kinds of mammal species (7-13 species) clustered in different functional areas of the nature reserve and most of them had cross-altitude moving activities. The results of this study showed that the resources of rare and endangered wild mammals in the monitoring area were rich, the population number was large and the distribution was wide. To some extent, it indicated that the conservation work of the reserve had been effective for many years.

Abstract:
From July 2017 to June 2018, the infrared camera was uesd to continuously monitor the wild Sichuan Takin (Budorcas tibetanus) in Tangjiahe National Nature Reserve and analyze its activity rhythm. During the study period, a total of 16,840 effective camera working days and 62 camera sites of the distribution of Sichuan Takin were recorded and a total of 1455 independent and effective records were obtained (267 in spring, 158 in summer, 823 in autumn and 207 in winter). The kernel density estimation and coefficient of overlap were used to analyze the daily activity rhythm of Sichuan Takin. The results showed that: (1) There were two activity peaks in the daily activity rhythm of Sichuan Takin in different seasons (spring: 06:50—09:10, 14:50—19:50; summer: 06:50—08:00, 14:50—20:10; autumn: 07:10—10:00, 15:30—19:00; winter: 08:50—09:40,14:40—19:50), and all distributed in the morning and evening. (2) The peak activity of Sichuan Takin in the morning was autumn (2.83 h) > spring (2.33 h) > summer (1.67 h) > winter (0.83 h), while the peak activity in the evening was summer (5.33 h) > winter (5.17 h) > spring (5 h) > autumn (3.5 h). (3) There were seasonal changes in the activity rhythm of Sichuan Takin, among which there were significant differences between spring and autumn, spring and summer, and summer and autumn (P<0.05), while there were no significant differences among other seasons. The overlap index was highest in spring and summer (Δ=0.922), and lowest in autumn and winter (Δ=0.829). The activity of Sichuan Takin was diurnal, mainly in the daytime with only a few activity traces at night.

LONG Cheng, YU Zhixiang, YANG Yongqiong, SHUI Meimei
2022, 43(3): 44-52. doi: 10.12172/202109020002
Abstract:
In order to understand spatial pattern and interspecific association of dominant populations in secondary savanna shrub forest in dry-hot valley, a 1 hm2 permanent sample plot was established in Panzhihua Cycas panzhihuaensis National Nature Reserve. The individual plants of all populations in the sample plot were investigated per tree, the dominant population composition of the community was analyzed by the important values, and the spatial pattern, interspecific association, and relationships of aggregation scale and dominance of dominant populations in community were executed by using function O-ring and software SPSS. The results showed that the dominant species in the secondary savanna shrub forest in dry-hot valleys were trees or small trees except Cycas panzhihuaensis. The spatial distribution pattern of the six dominant populations was all random distribution, which was followed by aggregation distribution, and the proportion of uniform distribution scale was the smallest. The dominance of population increased with the increase of aggregation scale, and there was a positive linear correlation between them. The regression equation was y = (127.49 ± 9.04)x + (4.78 ± 1.88) (Adj-R2 = 0.98, P = 1.46993E-4 < 0.01). The proportion of interspecific correlation scale was the largest in non-correlation, followed by negative correlation and the smallest in positive correlation. The dominance of populations in community was determined by aggregation scale, which was also the main driving force to change dominant position of populations in community. The main survival pressure of Terminalia franchetii was from C. panzhihuaensis and Morus mongolica, which was also easily affected by community environment. The main reason for regulating twice of intraspecific density was interspecific competition from Quercus cocciferoides and M. mongolica, as well as T. franchetii and M. mongolica.

Abstract:
In order to summarize the research status of mammal species diversity and geographical distribution in China's provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government) based on infrared camera technology, and to clarify the research blank or less research areas, so as to provide a basis for formulating relative protection, monitoring and management plans. Using the literature retrieval method, the relevant literature of wildlife diversity investigation and research in Chinese territory based on infrared camera by scholars from various countries was systematically collected and sorted out. The results showed that at least 208 wild mammal species were recorded by infrared cameras in China, belonging to 11 orders and 37 families, accounting for 30.06% of the total mammal species in China. At present, the mammal species diversity monitoring research by infrared camera in China has basically covered the whole country. Among the 34 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government), 32 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government) have recorded animal species investigation based on infrared cameras, but most of them are concentrated in the southwest and northeast regions. According to the number of research sites, the number of documents and the proportion of mammal species recorded by infrared camera in the total number of species in each province (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government), Chongqing, Liaoning, Jiangsu, Fujian, Inner Mongolia, Taiwan and Shanghai have potential investigation values. There is still some room for improvement of mammal species diversity monitoring based on infrared camera technology in China, and more systematic and in-depth monitoring research is needed.

ZHANG Meng, GAO Tan, LU Jie
2022, 43(3): 108-114. doi: 10.12172/202108180001
Abstract:
The understory ground cover is treated as the second layer of forest hydrological process, which plays a very significant role in forest hydrological cycle and flood control and disaster reduction of river basins. On the basis of searching, reading, summarizing and summarizing the previous research results, this study clarified the hydrological process of forest floor, analyzed the action mechanism of biological factors, environmental factors and climate factors in the forest ground cover, and summarized its functions of water storage, soil conservation and water purification. The reserve of understory ground cover was directly proportional to its water holding capacity, and the water holding capacity of understory ground cover increased with the restoration of vegetation. The results of short-term water-holding capacity of ground cover results could not fully reflect the water-holding capacity characteristics of ground cover, and forest cover layer of hydrological process mechanism was still unclear. Therefore, it was necessary to strengthen the research from the following aspects in the future: (1) On the basis of long-term monitoring, modern science and technology such as remote sensing, isotope were used to realize large-scale nondestructive dynamic monitoring. (2) On this basis, multiple factors such as rainfall, rainfall intensity, rainfall duration, wind speed, temperature and humidity were considered to be included into the list of influencing factors to analyze their influence on the interception and delay function of the ground cover. (3) When studying the hydrological benefits of ground cover, water holding capacity, pore structure and enzyme activity of soil layer, as well as the species, quantity and activity of microorganisms should be included in the research system to systematically study the relationship between ground cover and soil physical and chemical properties. (4) Strengthen the analysis of water quality at different levels, and clarify the element absorption characteristics of the ground cover, so as to scientifically evaluate the health status of forest ecosystem

CHEN Qi, LIU Junyan, WU Yan, HE Hengguo, LIAO Yuchen, XIE Yu, LI Shiqi
2022, 43(3): 115-122. doi: 10.12172/202109050001
Abstract:
With the deepening development of ecological civilization construction in China, eco-tourism, forest recreation and natural landscape resources development and so on have gradually become important ways for all regions to practice the new development concept of "green mountains are gold and silver mountains" and realize the transformation of ecological value. Landscape aesthetics has been integrated into traditional disciplines such as forestry, ecology and landscape architecture, etc. Quantitative evaluation of landscape aesthetics value has become a key indicator of ecosystem service value accounting and landscape design, and has become a hot field of relevant research. Based on Cite Space software, using bibliometrics and other methods, the research hotspots and development trend in this field at home and abroad were analyzed from the perspectives of annual publication volume, main keywords, landscape types, research methods and so on respectively, from 1048 landscape aesthetics research literatures collected in CNKI database and 1455 landscape aesthetics research literatures collected in Web of Science core collection. The results showed that the research on landscape aesthetics in China started late, and the output of scientific research had increased significantly in recent years, but there was still a certain gap compared with the international research. The types of research objects were forest landscape and urban landscape. Foreign countries mainly focused on natural ecological landscapes such as wetlands and wilderness, while domestic countries tended to small-scale landscapes, with limited research horizons. Domestic research focused on the social value of landscape beauty, landscape planning and allocation, while international research paid more attention to the ecological value and cultural value of landscape aesthetic resources. In domestic landscape aesthetics, there were some problems such as scattered research directions, strong subjectivity of evaluation methods and weak innovation of achievements. In the future, it is suggested to strengthen interdisciplinary integration and international cooperation, improve the research system of landscape aesthetics, update research techniques and methods, and emphasize the research on the transformation of landscape aesthetic values.

Abstract:
Mountainous forest health and wellness town is a characteristic town based on mountainous terrains and abundant forest resources, which provides good conditions for carrying out a series of health and wellness activities. Based on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory, a resource evaluation index system was constructed from the four dimensions: physiological needs, safety needs, social needs and respect needs, and self-realization needs. The index weights of each level were determined by the AHP method, and the evaluation level is determined by the FAHP method. An empirical study was conducted on forest health and wellness tourism resources of Tai’an ancient town. The results showed that: (1) According to the resource characteristic of mountainous forest health and wellness towns, the evaluation index system was more adaptable than the traditional resource evaluation system, and the index was more complete and the system was more perfect. (2) The forest health and wellness resources in Tai'an ancient town belonged to the third-level health and wellness resources. After the comprehensive evaluation, the advantages and disadvantages are delineated. Finally, some problems that needed to be solved urgently, such as the disorderly development of the town’s health tourism planning, the insufficient influence of the health and wellness tourism brands is, and the weak basic health and wellness service facilities.
