Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the effects of intensive smooth cordgrass removal on net ecosystem exchange (NEE) of carbon dioxide in disturbed tidal wetlands, emphasizing their significance as 'blue carbon' ecosystems in climate change mitigation.
  • The findings indicate that prior to removal, the wetland served as a significant CO sink, but post-removal, it transformed into a weak CO source, predominantly influenced by varying conditions during the day and seasonal changes.
  • The research highlights the role of tidal inundation, photosynthesis, and ecosystem respiration in regulating NEE, suggesting that longer-term studies are needed to fully understand the long-lasting impacts of cordgrass removal on carbon dynamics.

Taiwan green jujube (Ziziphus mauritiana) is a new fruit variety, with remarkable economic benefit. To achieve high quality and high yield of jujube in Fujian Province, we quantified the climate suitability model parameters of the jujube in main production areas of Fujian, and analyzed climate suitability characteristics and change trend of main production areas, based on the yield and meteorological data, combined with literature and phenological observation data and agricultural climate suitability model. The results showed that the model based on the equal weight summation method had the highest reliability.

In this study, an index system for the integrated risk evaluation of multiple disasters on the Longyan production in Fujian Province was constructed, based on the analysis of the major environmental factors affecting the Longyan growth and yield, and from the viewpoints of potential hazard of disaster-causing factors, vulnerability of hazard-affected body, and disaster prevention and mitigation capability of Longyan growth regions in the Province. In addition, an integrated evaluation model of multiple disasters was established to evaluate the risks of the major agro-meteorological disasters affecting the Longyan yield, based on the yearly meteorological data, Longyan planting area and yield, and other socio-economic data in Longyan growth region in Fujian, and by using the integral weight of risk indices determined by AHP and entropy weight coefficient methods. In the Province, the Longyan growth regions with light integrated risk of multiple disasters were distributed in the coastal counties (except Dongshan County) with low elevation south of Changle, the regions with severe and more severe integrated risk were mainly in Zhangping of Longyan, Dongshan, Pinghe, Nanjin, and Hua' an of Zhangzhou, Yongchun and Anxi of Quanzhou, north mountainous areas of Putian and Xianyou, Minqing, Minhou, Luoyuan, and mountainous areas of Fuzhou, and Fuan, Xiapu, and mountainous areas of Ninde, among which, the regions with severe integrated risk were in Dongshan, Zhangping, and other mountainous areas with high altitudes, and the regions with moderate integrated risk were distributed in the other areas of the Province.

Based on the acid rain and concurrent meteorological observational data during the past 10 years in Fujian Province, China, the dependence of distribution characteristics of acid rain on season, rain rate, weather pattern and dominant airflow in four regions of Fujian Province is analyzed. On the annual average, the acid rain frequency is the highest (above 40%) in the southern and mid-eastern regions, and the lowest (16.2%) in the western region.

Based on the acid rain observation data and the contemporaneous historical synoptic charts of Mid-Eastern Fujian during the period of 1991 to 2003, we analyzed the distribution characteristics of acid rain in different seasons, weather types, precipitation grades and wind directions. The results showed that the acid pollution in Mid-Eastern Fujian was still serious. In winter, the precipitation pH value was 4.
