[Spatial heterogeneity of plant community species diversity in Ejina Oasis at the lower reaches of Heihe River].

By the method of geostatistics, this paper studied the spatial heterogeneity of plant community species diversity in Ejina Oasis at the lower reaches of Heihe River. In the study area, the Margalef richness index (Ma), Simpson diversity index (Ds), Shannon diversity index (H') and Pielou evenness index (J') were in normal distribution, and the coefficient of variation (CV) ranged from 55.8% to 67.

[Analysis of the spatial and temporal changes in soil CO2 efflux and its related factors from alpine meadow in Qilian Mountains].

Continuous field experiment was carried out on alpine meadow along different elevation gradient in Qilian Mountains during the growing season of 2004 using a soil respiration chamber (Li-6400-09) connected to a portable photosynthesis system (Li-6400). The possible effect of water-heat factors and root parameter on characteristics of alpine meadow soil respiration was statistically analyzed. The results indicate that soil CO2 efflux has apparent spatial variation laws.
