Light-driven lignocellulosic biomass conversion for production of energy and chemicals.

The depletion of fossil fuels and the increasingly severe environmental pollution caused by massive fossil fuel consumption has driven the quick development of emerging renewable energy technologies. As the most extensive renewable carbon resource, lignocellulose is the potential substitute of fossil resources because of its sustainability and carbon-neutral features. Efficient lignocellulose conversion based on photocatalysis is a promising topic because of sustainable solar energy and the mild condition.

[Long-term effects of Dendrolimus superans Bulter disturbance on forest landscape in Huzhong Forest Bureau of Great xing' an Mountains: a simulation study].

A spatially explicit landscape model LANDIS was applied to simulate the long-term effects of Dendrolimus superans Bulter disturbance on the forest landscape in Huzhong Forest Bureau of Great Xing' an Mountains. The statistical software pakage APACK was used to calculate the distribution area of D. superans and representative tree species, the aggregation index reflecting the spatial pattern, and the average area of forest patchs.

[Landscape change in Kangbao County of Hebei {rovince].

Based on RS image TM5 of 1999 and SPOT5 of 2003, this paper studied the landscape change from 1999 to 2003 of Kangbao County, Hebei Province. Logistic regression was adopted to analyze the driving factors, and Kappa index was used to evaluate the accuracy of the landscape classification result, which was 86.72% for 1999, and 89.

[Landscape pattern change at the upper reaches of Minjiang River and its driving force].

The upper reaches of Minjiang River is an ecological sensitive and vulnerable area in southwest of China. It is of great significance to the ecological pattern safety in China. In this study, we analyzed the landscape pattern change through the interpretation of TM imageries in 1986, 1995 and 2000.
