The water rates in spring shoots and new bamboo of 9 provenances of Phyllostachy heterocycla cv. pubesens were measured. The results show that there are no remarkable differences in water rates in different provenances, but it is in a contrary case in different positions of spring shoots and the new bamboo twig and leaf in different months; the water rate of spring shoots has a remarkable relation with latitude, breast high diameter of mother bamboo, the length and largest diameter of spring shoots,the water rate of branch and leaf decreases during one year, but it has a stable period. In different provenances, the mean water rate of the middle zone is the largest, the second largest comes from the southern zone, and the northern zone is the smallest.
Brill profit levels and organic growth in line with expectations, integration V&R according to plan and continuation of eBusiness growth Update on year-to-date performance During the third quarter Brill's eBusiness continued its strong growth, driven by eBooks and digital primary sources.This growth compensated for the ongoing decline in print books.YTD Journal sales declined mainly due to delayed invoicing, which is expected to be recovered in Q4, and continuing IT problems at our UK based distributor.Overall Brill's revenues including the acquisition of Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht and Böhlau Verlag (V&R) are clearly ahead of last year.Cost of goods sold improved slightly as a result of the migration from print to eBooks.Operating costs were in line with expectations.Year to date EBITDA, operating profit and net profit have developed as planned.The integration of V&R runs according to plan.Both the Brill as well as the V&R teams and staff are now part of one global matrix organization.Various integration projects in IT, production, distribution, publishing and sales are underway.Management closely leads and monitors the integration and is pleased with the progress and the results of the acquired V&R business so far.In August, Brill acquired the journal Folia Primatologica from Karger Publishing, an important addition to our Biology portfolio.At the end of Q3 Brill's Book Archive was launched, a digital archive expanding our eBook list with more than 6,000 back list titles in 2021.The first sales are expected in Q4. FY OutlookThe COVID-19 pandemic continues to make market circumstances difficult and unpredictable.In Asia important countries are still in lockdown and (intercontinental) travel is still difficult or impossible, limiting our staff to visit authors, conferences and customers in person.The shortages in the global supply chains are hampering Brill as well, to the extent that this may have a negative impact on the results of the important 4 th quarter and could affect our top-and bottom line negatively.
The percentages of importance value of Phoebe bournei and its associated species were regarded as the measure of the competitive parameter, and the dominant degree of normal stands were regarded as their environmental capacity. The final results of competition of inter-species were discussed with the Lotha-Volterra equation of competition, which showed that the relative dominant degree of Phoebe bournei and its associated species is 76.85% and 25.15% respectively when reaching their balance. Here mixed trees can jointly dominate this community, and the whole community is controlled by Phoebe bournei population.
Floristic composition of the natural forest of Cyclocarya paliurua in Niumulin,Yongchun county was analysed based on community survey. The result indicated the community is rich in species diversity with 39 families of vascular plants including 58 genera and 66 species. Among these species, the dicotyledon is the important component in the flora. The genera of the seed plants in the community have 11 distribution types. Among the 11 distribution types, torpical element have 36 genera (78.26%),in which the majority are Pan-tropic and tropical Asia areal types;the temperate element have 6 genera (13.04%);the unique element in China is the Cyclocarya.
M. yuyuanensis Law had a stable structure and belonged to a mature type of population structure. The population structure of Castanopsis Lamontii and Choerospondias axillaries were all inverse pyramid types, with no seedlings, but the amount of large trees were more most, add up to 59 and 38 samplings per·hm~(2). Castanopsis fargesis had a large reserve of seedlings, amount to 69 seedlings per·hm~(2), showing a pyramid shape of population structure. The spatial distribution patterns of M. yuyuanensis Law and Castanopsis Lamontii in community were all aggregated, but the aggregation intensity of M. yuyuanensis Law was larger. Choerospondias axillaries showed an random distribution pattern and Castanopsis fargesis showed an uniform one.
