assessing the conservation effects of Nature Reserve networks under climate variability over the northeastern tibetan plateau
Ecological Indicators, 2019Co-Authors: Lin Huang, Quanqin Shao, Jiyuan LiuAbstract:Abstract To evaluate the effectiveness of China’s largest Nature Reserve network in providing and protecting habitats, we performed a series of studies consisting of field investigation, model simulation, remote sensing and GIS analysis by using a before-after-control-impact (BACI) design. Data from the non-protected areas (non-PAs) surrounding the Nature Reserve network served as a baseline for comparison. We found that some indexes of ecological restoration in the Nature Reserve network were superior to those in the non-PAs, such as average annual vegetation coverage and net primary production. After the establishment of the Nature Reserve network, ecosystem water retention service increased by 72% compared to those in the non-PAs. In the non-PAs, intensified or new degradation occurred due to overgrazing and over-exploitation. In recent years, the wetting and warming climate has been the main driver of ecological restoration in the region. The establishment of the Nature Reserve networks and the implementation of conservation projects both promote the improvement of local ecosystems. Therefore, for alpine regions under climate variability, we should protect entire regions rather than specific areas, and management efforts should focus on long-term sustainable conservation rather than emergency rescue.

The study development on ecotourism in Nature Reserve
Territory & Natural Resources Stuty, 2005Co-Authors: Yu Ai-shuiAbstract:Ecotourism is a sustainable way for the development of Nature Reserve. There are rich ecotourism resources in many types of Nature Reserve in our country, so ecotourism has wide fortune in Chinese Nature Reserve. With the development of ecotourism study increasingly, the exploitation,planning, management of Nature Reserve ecotourism and existing problems etc were studied. These viewpoints were generalized in the paper and some suggestions were also put forward.

Economic Dependence of Communities Surrounding the Giant Panda Nature Reserve on Nature Resources in the Qinling Mountains: A Case Study on the Foping Nature Reserve
Resources Science, 2010Co-Authors: Yang Li-feiAbstract:The Giant panda is a bear native to central-western and south western China,an endangered specie called the "national treasure" and the "living fossil".There are 40 towns,more than 130 villages and several thousands of residents in the Shaanxi Qinling Giant Panda Nature Reserve.With the establishment of the Qinling Giant Panda Nature Reserve as well as increases in the protected areas,anthropogenic activities of the community villagers living surrounding the Reserve,like herb gathering,herding and logging,were directly dependent on natural resources.If the traditional life style was restricted,the contradiction between the Nature Reserve and the community would become increasingly aggravated.The authors investigated the economic interdependence of the community surrounding the Reserve on the protected natural resources,and summarized the measures to mitigate such contradiction from resources economics and statistical methods.The "economic interdependence rate of the communities surrounding the Giant Panda Nature Reserve on natural resources" was proposed to construct an evaluation indicator system.In addition,the authors selected the samples in 5 administrative towns(Township),24 administrative villages surrounding protected areas in the Foping National Nature Reserve in Shanxi Province for further analysis.The Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP) method in conjunction with field survey data was utilized to quantify the economic dependence of the communities surrounding the Nature Reserve on natural resources.Results showed that the communities surrounding the Qinling Giant Panda Nature Reserve were highly dependent on natural resources of the protected areas,which would affect sustainable development of the Nature Reserve and communities.Some measures must be taken to reduce economic dependency on natural resources so as to achieve a win-win situation for both the communities and the protected areas,like increasing more sources of incomes and reducing reliance on natural resources,continuously building infrastructure and promoting positive development of agriculture,adjusting agricultural structure and increasing more green and economic crops,establishing a compensation mechanism for damaging wildlife and reducing the firewood consumption from surrounding communities as well as seeking new ways for energy consumption.

Study on Nature Reserve Policy on Attribute of Public Goods
Issues of Forestry Economics, 2010Co-Authors: Yang Li-feiAbstract:Nature Reserve construction is a hard task.Many scholars have paid their attentions on how to resolve the contradictory between the protection and development.Externality characteristic of Nature Reserve was analyzed from a special view point of public goods in this study,furthermore,the influence of the externality characteristic on the protection and development was discussed as well.An effective way to deal with the contradictory of Nature Reserve was found based on the theoretical aspect and the externality characteristic aroused from Nature Reserve,which showed the reference meaning to the perfection of Nature Reserves management policy in China:(1) building definite property right;(2) establishing and strengthening mechanism of eco-compensation;(3) finding a way out of inefficiency of Nature Reserve funds supply;(4) sharing common beliefs from Nature Reserve.
