Conservation genetics and population diversity of Erigeron breviscapus (Asteraceae), an important Chinese herb
2013, Biochemical Systematics and EcologyCitation Excerpt :There are over 11,146 indigenous plant taxa in China which were considered to have medicinal values (Chinese Pharmacopoeia Committee, 1990). Following the increasing demands, the natural resources of some medicinal plants have been declining dramatically due to over-harvesting and loss of habitats during the last few decades (Gu, 1998; Huang et al., 1999). Conservation of medicinal plants is therefore one of the most important cultural and ecological issues in China (Yao et al., 2012).
Agricultural landscapes and biodiversity in China
2013, Agriculture, Ecosystems and EnvironmentCitation Excerpt :Farming practices in ways that preserve and restore biodiversity, such as organic farming and preservation and management of semi-natural habitats within the agricultural landscape, have been encouraged across countries of the European Union through European Agri-Environment Schemes (EU, 2002; Smith et al., 2010). In contrast, biodiversity conservation in China has been very focussed on natural habitats rather than the agricultural landscape (Gu, 1998; You et al., 2005), although more than 50% of China's territory is used for agricultural production. The measures and policies dealing with biodiversity conservation in the agricultural landscapes are still not sufficient, with no policy framework encouraging farmers to manage the agricultural landscape in more environmentally friendly ways.
Energy consumption patterns by local residents in four nature reserves in the subtropical broadleaved forest zone of China
2010, Renewable and Sustainable Energy ReviewsOver-exploitation and lack of protection is leading to a decline of a protected calcicolous tree species Excentrodendron hsienmu (Tiliaceae) in China
2005, Biological ConservationCitation Excerpt :We have found hsienmu chopping blocks in many other cities in South China. The big trees were mostly cut down during the mid-1980s, when the collectively managed forests were allotted to households, during which thousands of densely wooded hills were reduced to bare ground as a result of large scale felling of forest (Gu, 1998). Many young trees were cut down at the same time, probably because local people were doubtful about how long the policy would remain in force.
Bird distribution and conservation in the Ailao Mountains, Yunnan, China
2000, Biological ConservationCitation Excerpt :This accelerated land-cover change has resulted in a decrease in habitat for wildlife throughout much of China. To protect critical habitats, 99 national-level nature reserves have been established in China (Gu, 1998). As the economy continues to expand, these reserves are becoming more and more important in the protection of China's dwindling natural land cover and the plants and animals which they protect.
