Wireworms in Florida Sugarcane by R. H. Cherry, M. Karounos

“…More studies are needed, but the current information suggests substantial percentages (e.g. 40% or more) of wireworms could be killed by flooding but, in general, the flood duration had to be at least 4 to 5 weeks at water temperatures above 24 °C. …”

Ecological Flow of Intensively Developed and Utilized Rivers in Yunnan Province Based on Improved Tennant Method by LI Jiao, LI Xuehui

“…The ecological flow of rivers is the basic element for maintaining a river ecosystem and an important indicator for controlling the intensity of water resource development and utilization.Studying ecological flow is a significant part of endorsing river health.According to the characteristics of the intensively developed and utilized rivers in Yunnan Province,this paper takes the Niulan River system in the Jinsha River Basin as a representative to carry out ecological flow research.It proposes an improved Tennant method according to the division of the river's “water use period”,“flood control period”,and “water storage period” and compares it with three common hydrological methods.According to the comparison,the proposed improved Tennant method has obvious advantages in meeting the water use characteristics of rivers in development and utilization,the variation law of natural rivers' abundance and dryness throughout the year,the ecological environment conditions in the river course,and the ecological flow satisfaction rate in dry seasons.…”

Research and Application Status and Prospect of Ecological River Slope Protection by DING Kunqi, MAO Wei, SONG Haiyang, YAN Ruyu, WANG Yipeng, JI Yong

“…As an important part of river management,river slope protection is a key measure to control soil erosion and non-point source pollution,implement flood control and waterlogging prevention,and improve the ecological environment of a water area.To overcome the limitations of traditional slope protection and ultimately achieve the comprehensive ecologicalization of slope protection,this paper approaches from the perspectives of slope protection forms,structures of aquatic organism habitats,and ecological corridor links and reviews the research and application status as well as remaining problems of ecological slope protection.In addition,it also summarizes the advantages of ecological slope protection in ecological protection and discusses the inadequacies in current river slope protection in light of available research.At last,future research directions for ecological slope protection are proposed.It is noted that more attention should be paid to the innovative development of ecological slope protection forms to provide a reference for the comprehensive ecologicalization of ecological slope protection.…”

Temporal and Spatial Trends of Precipitation and Mutation in Guangdong Province over the Past 60 Years by XU Chengyi

“…Based on the Mann-Kendall test,linear regression analysis,and sliding t-test,this study analyzes the daily precipitation data from 32 meteorological stations in Guangdong Province from 1960 to 2019.The results show that except for Guangzhou and Zengcheng in the Pearl River Delta region,which exhibit a significant increasing trend in annual precipitation,there is no significant increasing trend in annual precipitation in other regions of Guangdong Province.The spatial distribution of average annual precipitation shows that the Pearl River Delta and its adjacent areas are the areas with the highest precipitation,which decreases gradually towards the surrounding areas.In the analysis of annual precipitation mutations,eight meteorological stations are found to have different numbers of mutation points in different years.Among these,only the Pearl River Delta region shows an increasing mutation in annual precipitation in 1972.The research results can provide a reference for the management of water resources and flood prevention strategies in Guangdong Province to cope with climate change.…”

Study on Maximum Scour Depth at River Reach of Shantou Bay Subsea Tunnel Project by YANG Chen, GAO Shengjie, CHEN Guanming, ZHANG Shuohan

“…This paper studies the flow pattern and riverbed scouring at the river reach of Shantou Bay Subsea Tunnel Project through the river model test and analyzes the maximum scour depth of the riverbed near the project under unfavorable hydrological conditions.The results show that the maximum flood velocity at the tunnel section is above 1.5 m/s under unfavorable hydrological conditions,and riverbed scouring is obvious in the main channels of the left and right branches.The maximum scour depth of the riverbed at the tunnel site is 6.40 m and 5.24 m under the once-in-three-century and once-in-a-century hydrological conditions,respectively.The envelope results of the maximum scour depth at the tunnel section can provide a basis for determining the reasonable buried depth of the project,and the research results can provide reference for similar projects in Shantou Bay.…”
