Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how roads affect the breeding habitats of the crested ibis, a protected bird species, using advanced modeling techniques in ArcGIS.
- Researchers identified ten key environmental variables influencing the nesting habitat, with factors like temperature and road proximity being particularly significant.
- Findings reveal that high-grade roads significantly reduce suitable nesting areas for the crested ibis, with effective avoidance distances of 1500 meters from these roads, highlighting the need for management strategies to protect this species.
There are few reports on the vertical distribution of water quality and its influence on underwater light field. In our study, we analyzed the vertical distribution of water quality based on the in situ data in Lake Chaohu, and studied their influence on diffuse attenuation coefficients of downwelling irradiance Kd via Hydrolight simulation. It was indicated that the suspended matter and colored dissolved organic matter (CDOM) were relatively vertical-uniform in Lake Chaohu; excluding algae scums at the surface, the vertical profiles of chlorophyll-a conformed to Gaussian distribution; the complex Kd in vertical was affected by chlorophyll-a and inorganic suspended matter.
