In this study,the Crested Ibis Nature Reserve co-management model namely "companies + farmers + Nature Reserve" model is proposed and evaluated with demonstration investigation methods,including continuous six-year fixed-site socio-economic development data of surrounding community,company sales revenue data and monitored data of Crested Ibis Nature Reserve.The results show that farmers' income and conservation awareness increased greatly from 2003 to 2008;company sales revenue has increased by about 20% annually in the recent years;management level has noticeably improved in Nature Reserve,the scope of Crested Ibis habitat has expanded 50 hm2;chemical composition of habitat reduced year after year;and the number of Crested Ibis had been growing annually.At the end,the success of the model is evaluated,and problems in implementation of the model are discussed from the following aspects:management system,co-management concept,economic base of partners,marketing mechanism,technical capacity and so on.展开更多

We have found that the optimal （OCM II ） was a superior medium for extracellular polysaccharide production than the f/2 and Koch medium, and the polysaccharide production with OCM II was increased by 1.79 times and 1.62 times compared with that of f/2 and Koch medium; the yields of polysaccharides were also improved by optimizing the light intensity and irradiation length Furthermore, we significantly enhanced the yields of both the biomass and extracellular polysaccharidc using a small light-path photobioreactor, and about 2.1 times increase of polysaccharide production was observed in FPPBR-30 than in FPPBR-100. Overall, the process for polysaccharides production was improved and this would facilitate further studies on such polysaccharidcs such as their antiviral and antitumor activities.展开更多
