Bird and mammal conservation in Gaoligongshan Region and Jingdong County, Yunnan, China: patterns of species richness and nature reserves

Elevational and latitudinal patterns of species richness for birds and mammals were compared with human population density in relation to nature reserve designation in two areas of Yunnan Province, China. Results suggest that species richness is not the same for the two areas. In Gaoligongshan Region, species richness is inversely correlated with elevation and altitude, while reserve designation is positively correlated with elevation and latitude. In Jingdong County, reserve designations are positively correlated with elevation, but species richness shows no clear trends. In general, the present situation is strongly influenced by human activities. It appears that reserve designation is mismatched with species richness in Gaoligongshan Region, while there is a better fit between the two in Jingdong County. In both areas, however, it appeared that reserves were located primarily in order to reduce conflict with humans rather than to maximize conservation of biodiversity, probably because humans were responsible for forest-especially primary forest-destruction and degradation in the low-lying areas.

制作含水率与采出程度关系理论曲线常犯错误及解决办法

制作含水率与采出程度关系理论曲线常采用相渗曲线法和流管法两种方法.在采用相渗曲线法制作理论曲线时,采用统计回归分析相对渗透率与含水率的关系,导致在低含水饱和度时期含水率偏高,在高含水饱和度时期含水率偏低的问题,解决的方法是直接使用实验数据点计算.将体积波及系数取常数往往会得出"中低含水期开发效果较差,高含水期开发效果较好"的通用结论,解决的方法是分析体积波及系数与井网系统、流度比、渗透率变异系数的关系,建立统计关系式.
