Verification of EC Model's Effect to Forecast Precipitation in Beipan River Basin by KONG Xiangbo, XIA Xiaoling, CU Yuanke, TANG Yanjing, SONG Wanli, LIAO Bo

“…In order to test the precipitation forecast of the European central numerical model (hereinafter referred to as EC model) in the Beipan River Basin,this paper tests the forecast effect of different starting times and the overall forecast effect of 2020 flood season for an extreme precipitation process in the Beipan River Basin.The results are as follows:①For the prediction of 500 hPa circulation field,rainfall area,correlation coefficient between EC rainfall prediction and actual rainfall,and TS score of rainstorm,the shortened the prediction time is,the better the prediction effect will be.The effect is the most obvious for the maximum rainfall forecast adjustment,and the rainfall after adjustment is closer to the actual rainfall.The EC model is also applicable to forecast heavy rain.②In 2020,the forecast effect of no rain,light rain and moderate rain is better than that of heavy rain and rainstorm.EC model is almost not available to forecast severe rainstorm.③The rainstorm forecast effect differs with different basins,and the rainstorm forecast effect of Dongqing Basin is better than that of other basins.Therefore,it can be concluded that the correlation coefficient of EC model in the whole Beipan River Basin is about 0.9,and the ratio of the standard deviation of prediction to that of observation is 0.77,which indicates that EC model has good prediction effect for the trend of precipitation change,but there are some deviations in the area and magnitude.So,the forecast results can be applied after being corrected.…”

STUDY OF GERMINATION REGARDING THE COMBAT OF WEEDS IN MEADOWS WITH REFERENCE TO CIRSIUM VULGARE SPECIES by Lisena Piscoran, Teodor Rusu

“…Seed germination is the most important stage in the life cycle of a plant.During seed germination,various metabolic processes are activated that ensure seedling growth and important physiological and biochemical changes occur.Factors acting during seed development (temperature, moisture, burial and microbial damage) can influence subsequent germination performance.Developmental(eg,inflorescence,age) and positional (within or between inflorescences of the parent plant) effects may also be important.In general,C.vulgare is a Euriecia species(species with a high degree of adaptability) common on wet alluvial soils.C vulgare reproduction: pollination takes place by insects (entomogamous pollination) or possibly by wind (anemogamous pollination).They are plants with a biennial reproductive cycle.In the first year they have a single rosette of leaves, while in the second year they bloom completely.They are herbaceous plants that differ from the other biological forms because,being annual,they overcome the adverse season in the form of seeds and are equipped with an erect and often leafless flower axis.…”

Auditory risk recognition is socially transmitted across territory borders in wild birds by Jakub Szymkowiak

“…Here, it has been shown that free-living birds (Wood Warblers Phylloscopus sibilatrix) can learn to recognize unfamiliar, complex sounds (samples of punk rock songs) as cues of a threat from conspecifics holding adjacent territories during the spring breeding season. In a playback experiment, Wood Warblers initially ignored the unfamiliar sounds, but after repeatedly hearing that these sounds trigger alarm calling reaction of neighbors, most individuals showed an anti-predator response to them. …”
