Management Implications of Aquifer Fractures on Ecosystem and Habitat Suitability for Panthers in Southern Florida

Our case study analyzed the proximity of previously mapped fractures in the aquifer matrix to 93 Florida panther (Puma concolor coryi) dens mapped from 2007-2016 in south Florida. Dens occurred in five counties (Collier = 77, Dade = 1, Hendry = 9, Lee = 5, and Monroe = 1) and three sub-basins of the Greater Everglades Basin (Big Cypress Swamp = 83, Caloosahatchee = 3, and Everglades = 7). Fractured aquifers occur worldwide, but are not the focus of habitat suitability studies, despite evidence that fractures influence plant species composition and density. Habitat alterations can occur many kilometers from the surface footprint of groundwater alterations in the regional Floridan aquifer system via preferential flow through fractures. Increased natural discharge from and recharge to the aquifer occur at fracture intersections. Greater induced recharge and habitat changes also may occur at fracture intersections. All dens were within 5 km of a previously mapped fracture;36% and 74% were within 1 km and 2 km, respectively, of those fractures;and 47%, 74%, and 90% of dens were within 2 km, 3.25 km and 5 km, respectively, from the nearest fracture intersection. Results suggest fractures influence the suitability and/or availability of habitat for panther dens, selection of den sites, and availability as well as abundance of high quality prey items essential for the nutritional demands of successfully rearing panther kittens in the wild. We recommend more detailed investigations of: a) vegetation characteristics near dens, b) groundwater alterations and cumulative impacts of those alterations associated with fractures in panther habitat (e.g., altered plant species composition and density), and c) influence of aquifer fractures in all habitats underlain by fractures.

Spatio-Temporal Dynamics of the Noun Floodplain (Cameroon) Using Remote Sensing

In Cameroon, the pressure on wetlands appears to be increasing, leading to desertification and land degradation. This study aims to characterize the spatial and temporal dynamics of land cover in the Noun floodplain in Cameroon using multi-date satellite data. To achieve this, the methodology consisted in using remote sensing and geographical information’s systems techniques to identify spatial units and detect changes over a 22-year period (1999 to 2021). The land cover maps were produced from an unsupervised classification with maximum likelihood. The results identified eight classes: herbaceous savannahs with shrubs, forest galleries, fields and plantations, herbaceous tan, young fallows, mineralized and built-up soils, bare soils and surface waters. It appears that in 1999, the landscape was dominated by natural vegetation (72.6%) located from north to south of the Noun plain. However, since 2004, the landscape has been dominated by agricultural areas (56.8%). Natural formations have been progressively reduced in space over time. The evolution of the Noun floodplain landscape reveals that 14.3% of the space has remained stable. These are fields and plantations, young fallows, mineralized soils and surface water. This space has not migrated to other classes. While about 73.9% of the area has moved to higher classes, of which 35.6% to herbaceous tans and 26% to fields and plantations. On the other hand, 72.6% of the area (herbaceous savannahs and forests gallery) has been heavily degraded. These results show that the landscape of the Noun floodplain is marked by a progressive agricultural extension, which would be at the origin of the land degradation. Therefore they alert the different actors in the territory on the level of advanced land degradation and suggest sustainable land management on a local scale.

Land Use/Land Cover and Forest Canopy Density Monitoring of Wafi-Golpu Project Area, Papua New Guinea

This study aims to examine the use of Remote Sensing and Geographical Information System (GIS) technology in land use/land cover mapping to aide sustainable planning and development in the Wafi-Golpu project area. At the same time, this study examines an existing method of Forest Canopy Density (FCD) model to estimate forest canopy density of the proposed deforestation site, which is known as the Advanced Exploration Feasibility Study Activities (AEFSA) area within the Wafi-Golpu Project site. The FCD model calculates the forest canopy density using the three (3) indices of vegetation, soil and shadow from the Landsat-8 Operational Land Imager (OLI) satellite image of year 2013. In this study an attempt has been made to monitor the forest loss or degradation during deforestation in a natural forest stand of the Wafi-Golpu project area using forest FCD mapping and monitoring model and the findings of the study will assist the project planners and developers with their work on forest rehabilitation and reforestation for the purposes of sustainable forest management. The result of the work shows that a considerable amount of forest loss will be undertaken during the AEFSA deforestation exercise and also the findings show that a reliable land use/land cover map will greatly assist sustainable development in a resource project development period.

Furthermore, the findings were analyzed;multiple Regression analysis indicated that all research variables have significant relationship on successful adoption of HRIS. The findings indicated IT infrastructures have a positive and significant effect on the successful adoption of HRIS. But there is no significant of PU, PEOU, TMS, and IEC on the successful adoption of HRIS. Finally, the results indicated that no significant statistical differences of demographic characteristics on HRIS adoption. Depending on the research’s findings;the researchers proposed a set of recommendations for better adoption of HRIS in SEZA.

危机情境下领导意义给赋对下属变革担当行为的影响研究——基于意义建构理论视角

员工变革担当行为在提高员工工作绩效,提升其工作满意度和情感承诺,激励员工工作投入,促进其职业发展等方面具有积极作用。危机情境中下属变革担当行为可能是通过“领导意义给赋→下属意义重构→下属变革担当”的机制产生的。领导角色榜样是领导意义给赋对下属变革担当行为作用机制的边界条件。文章以有调节的双中介模型为基础,通过对288份领导—下属配对问卷的统计分析发现,领导意义给赋对下属变革担当行为具有促进作用;下属的建设性责任知觉及组织贡献期望感知在二者关系中起中介作用;领导角色榜样对领导意义给赋与建设性责任知觉的关系具有调节作用,同时调节了建设性责任知觉的中介效应。具体而言,领导展现的角色榜样越强,领导意义给赋行动就越能激发下属的建设性责任知觉,让他们更愿意进行主动变革担当。

Using remote sensing to assess impacts of land management policies in the Ordos rangelands in China

Implementation of land management policies influences land use and hence causes environmental change.Taking the Ordos rangelands in China as a case study,this paper explores the potential of remote sensing to assess in dryland areas the impacts of policies on the environment.Thirteen Landsat images of the period 19782010 were acquired and those corresponding to the starting dates of implementation of different policies were selected for land-cover change analysis;others were used to check the detected change and track the normalized difference vegetation index(NDVI)trajectory matched with time series of meteorological data for calibration of natural response of rangelands to rainfall.The results indicate that policy impacts are complex and include both positive and negative aspects depending on the locality in space.On one hand,policies have aroused the enthusiasm of people in agricultural production and sandcontrol leading to the recovery of about 2618 km2 of desertified rangeland and sandy land,and economic growth,on the other hand,provoked vegetation degradation with an accumulated area of 2439 km2 when policies cannot reconcile the conflict between environmental protection and the interest of rural people.However,degradation is not absolute and can be mitigated by the implementation of rational policies.

中年危机对知识型员工创造力的影响研究

数智时代为企业带来了新的机遇和挑战,也对员工提出了更高的技能要求。中年员工随着年龄的增长和身体机能的退化,往往被认为是逐渐与时代和技术脱节的,被贴上缺失创造力的标签,面临被青年人取代的职业风险。但有学者指出,中年员工在工作经验、知识储备、执行力等方面更具优势,用年龄区分员工的创造力是一种偏见。本文基于情绪认知评价理论探究中年危机对知识型员工创造力的影响,并将负性情绪从激活程度和调节聚焦两个维度来划分,研究高激活促进型负性情绪与低激活预防型负性情绪在中年危机与知识型员工创造力之间的中介作用。并根据情绪以问题为中心和以情绪为中心的两种不同应对方式,构建低激活预防型负性情绪与工作意义感的链式中介和高激活促进型负性情绪与主动职业行为的链式中介。研究结果表明,中年危机与两种类型的负性情绪都正相关,低激活预防型负性情绪与工作意义感,高激活促进型负性情绪与主动职业行为在中年危机与员工创造力之间起链式中介作用,核心自我评价正向调节了中年危机与高激活促进型负性情绪之间的关系。核心自我评价的情绪调节维度负向调节了中年危机与低激活预防型负性情绪之间的关系。

Impacts of land conversion and management measures on net primary productivity in semi-arid grassland

Ecological restoration measures implemented in China have profoundly impacted vegetation NPP.This study aimed to estimate the effects of the land conversion and management measures on the grassland ecosystem in semi-arid regions.Land use data were employed from 2000 to 2015 to compare land conversion and coverage changes in Xilingol grassland.Then,the contributions of land conversion and management policies were quantified by assessing the difference between actual NPP and climate-induced NPP changes.The results indicated that the grassland area had a net loss of 534.42 km^(2),and the net area of increased vegetation coverage was 74,683.05 km^(2).Furthermore,the total NPP increased by 8,010.73 Gg C·yr^(−1)(1 Gg=10^(9)g),of which the human activities,including grazing management measures(+6,809.40 Gg C·yr^(−1))and land conversion(45.72 Gg C·yr^(−1))contributed to 85.58%of the increase in NPP.Transformation from desert and farmland dominated grassland expansion and NPP increase,while urbanization and desertification caused large grassland reduction and NPP loss.The grazing management increased vegetation NPP in most regions except for some regions in the desert steppe and the farming-pastoral zone.Related policies should be further adjusted to strengthen the management of the desert steppe and farming-pastoral regions.
