Abstract:

The mountainous forest and biodiversity ecological functional area of the Nanling Mountain forest ecosystem is one of the 25 key ecological functional areas in China, covering a variety of forest vegetation types, including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, coniferous broad-leaved evergreen mixed forest, and mountain top evergreen broad-leaved dwarf forest. The tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests are the most typical vegetation type in the Nanling Mountains. Monitoring the meteorological elements in the community can help understand the response mechanism of the tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests in the Nanling Mountains to climate change. Based on the Nanling Forest Ecosystem National Field Scientific Observation Research station ("Nanling Station" for short) in the Nanling Mountains, Guangdong, we carried out positioning research in Nanling National Nature Reserve. In this paper, we disclosed the raw data of 10 min average wind speed, precipitation, air temperature, air pressure, solar radiation (i.e. total radiation, reflected radiation, ultraviolet radiation, net radiation, photosynthetically active radiation) as well as relative humidity continuously collected in the subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest area of the Nanling Station from 2021-2022 on a daily scale after data processing, quality control and evaluation. The dataset accessible to the public can serve as a valuable resource for further insights into the Nanling Mountain Forest Ecosystem, and provide foundation for efforts related to the restoration and protection of forest ecosystems.

Abstract:

Soil nutrients are an important component of forest ecosystems, an important carrier for maintaining the survival and development of animals and plants, and a foundation for normal plant growth. They play an important role in soil nutrient cycling and global climate change. Located in the core area of the southern hilly and mountainous area in the national ecological security strategic pattern of "two screens and three belts", Nanling Mountains are an important ecological barrier in Southern China. Due to varying degrees of damage in recent years, ecosystems in Nanling Mountains have proven to be highly sensitive to climate change. It has attracted significant attention from numerous scholars. The estimation of soil nutrient reserves and spatial distribution characteristics have emerged as prominent areas of research focus within this region. However, the absence of data sharing and the limited availability of measured data stand as significant factors contributing to the uncertainty of the research results. In 2020, we carried out standardized field survey and test effort of soil sample collection for ancient woodland in five typical forest ecosystems, namely, valley tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests (<800 m), mountain tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests (800-1,200 m), evergreen coniferous and broad-leaved mixed forest (1,200-1,500 m), mountaintop grassland (>1,500 m), and mountaintop evergreen broad-leaved dwarf forest (>1,500 m) in Nanling Mountain forest ecosystem. On this basis, we produced a dataset of soil nutrients of typical forest ecosystems in Nanling Mountain in 2020. This dataset includes soil nutrients (organic matter, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, and total potassium) and soil available nutrients (nitrate nitrogen, ammonium nitrogen, available phosphorus, and available potassium) of 0-20 cm topsoil in four quarters, with a view to providing valuable measured data for the study of soil nutrient cycling process in Nanling Mountains.Soil nutrients are an important component of forest ecosystems, an important carrier for maintaining the survival and development of animals and plants, and a foundation for normal plant growth.

Abstract:

Rhododendron microcarpum R.L. Liu & L.M. Gao sp. nov. is described as a new species which is confined to Jiangxi, China. It has been discovered only in Yingpan Mountain located in the junction area of Nanling Mountains and Luoxiao Mountains. Morphologically, R. microcarpum is significantly distinguishable from closely related species R. ovatum by elliptic leaves with small size of 2.56 (± 0.11) × 1.25 (± 0.04) cm, pink-white corolla, short calyx with 0.23 (±0.003) cm in length, and small flower and fruit. ITS Neighbor-joining (NJ) tree indicates that R. microcarpum represents a distinct species and is genetically closest to R. ovatum. Evidences from morphological, ecological and molecular data supported R. microcarpum as a new species of R. subgenus Azaleastrum Planch..

Full text

Abstract:

A rapidly changing climate and frequent human activity influences the distribution and community structure of forests. Increasing our knowledge about the genetic diversity and distribution patterns of trees is helpful for forest conservation and management. In this study, nSSRs (nuclear simple sequence repeats) were integrated with a species distribution model (SDM) to investigate the spatial genetic patterns and distribution dynamics of Quercus chungii F.P.Metcalf, a rare oak in the subtropics of southeast China. A total of 188 individuals from 11 populations distributed across the natural range of Q. chungii were genotyped using nine nSSRs. The STRUCTURE analysis indicated that genetic admixture was present in all populations, but the population genetic variation and genetic differentiation were related to their geographical distributions. The SDM result indicated that Q. chungii retreated to the Nanling Mountains and adjacent areas during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) period, which corresponds to higher genetic diversity for populations in this region. Landscape genetic analysis showed that the Nanling Mountains served as a corridor for organism dispersal at the glacial and interglacial periods within the Quaternary. Based on these results, we propose that establishing nature reserves to protect the ecological corridor across the Nanling Mountains is necessary for the conservation of regional species genetic diversity, as well as the ecosystem of evergreen broadleaved forests in southern China. The study combines species distribution models and genetic diversity to provide new insight into biodiversity conservation and forest management under future climate change.

Abstract:

The dynamics of vegetation changes and phenology serve as key indicators of interannual changes in vegetation productivity. Monitoring the changes in the Nanling grassland ecosystem using the remote sensing vegetation index is crucial for the rational development, utilization, and protection of these grassland resources. Grasslands in the hilly areas of southern China’s middle and low mountains have a high restoration efficiency due to the favorable combination of water and temperature conditions. However, the dynamic adaptation process of grassland restoration under the combined effects of climate change and human activities remains unclear. The aim of this study was to conduct continuous phenological monitoring of the Nanling grassland ecosystem, and evaluate its seasonal characteristics, trends, and the thresholds for grassland changes. The Normalized Difference Phenology Index (NDPI) values of Nanling Mountains’ grasslands from 2000 to 2021 was calculated using MOD09A1 images from the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform. The Savitzky–Golay filter and Mann–Kendall test were applied for time series smoothing and trend analysis, and growing seasons were extracted annually using Seasonal Trend Decomposition and LOESS. A segmented regression method was then employed to detect the thresholds for grassland ecosystem restoration based on phenology and grassland cover percentage. The results showed that (1) the NDPI values increased significantly (p < 0.01) across all grassland patches, particularly in the southeast, with a notable rise from 2010 to 2014, and following an eastern to western to central trend mutation sequence. (2) the annual lower and upper NDPI thresholds of the grasslands were 0.005~0.167 and 0.572~0.727, which mainly occurred in January–March and June–September, respectively. (3) Most of the time series in the same periods showed increasing trends, with the growing season length varying from 188 to 247 days. (4) The overall potential productivity of the Nanling grassland improved. (5) The restoration of the mountain grasslands was significantly associated with the grassland coverage and mean NDPI values, with a key threshold identified at a mean NDPI value of 0.5 for 2.1% grassland coverage. This study indicates that to ensure the sustainable development and conservation of grassland ecosystems, targeted management strategies should be implemented, particularly in regions where human factors significantly influence grassland productivity fluctuations.

Abstract:

Plant species composition is a vital indicator for studying the structure and functioning of forest ecosystems. It constitutes an important component of the China Ecosystem Research Network (CERN) and the long-term monitoring of terrestrial ecosystem biological elements. It can be utilized to assess and monitor biodiversity levels, environmental changes, and ecosystem responses. It holds utmost significance for natural resource management and land-use planning, providing crucial foundations for scientific research, policy-making, and ecological conservation. Nanling, as a significant ecological barrier in China, harbors the largest area of forests at the same latitude. It encompasses various vegetation types, including subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forests, subtropical mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forests, and subtropical dwarf evergreen broad-leaved forests. Following the monitoring specifications for terrestrial ecosystem biological elements, this paper presents the original data of all woody plant individuals with a diameter at breast height (DBH) ≥ 1 cm, including their species names, DBH, height, and other relevant information. These data were obtained through two consecutive census surveys conducted by the Guangdong Nanling Forest Ecosystem National Field Scientific Observation Research Station from 2017 to 2020. After meticulous data organization, quality control, and evaluation, the dataset provides detailed information on typical forest communities in Nanling, including plot numbers, vegetation types, species names, Latin names, abundance, relative abundance, relative dominance, relative frequency, importance value, and year of survey. This dataset serves as local data for in-depth investigation into biodiversity, community structure, and functions of forest communities in Nanling. Moreover, it aims to provide fundamental support for forest management, environmental protection, natural resource management, and sustainable development in the region.

Abstract:

Mountains support many kinds of ecosystem services (ESs) for human beings, emphasizing the need to understand the characteristics and drivers of ES changes in mountainous regions. In this study, Nanling, the most significant mountains of southern China, was selected as a case study. Utilizing the GlobeLand30 dataset, we employed InVEST, Geodetector and MGWR to identify the spatio-temporal characteristics and drivers of ES changes, investigate trade-offs and synergies between ESs, and examine the relationship between ESs and the landscape ecological risk index (LERI) to provide a new perspective for ecosystem management in vulnerable mountain regions. The results showed that carbon storage (CS) and habitat quality (HQ) slightly decreased, while the water yield (WY) increased slightly. Soil conservation (SC) significantly decreased, but the total ES (TES) slightly increased. All ES bundles demonstrated a synergistic relationship, but most of the synergies exhibited a decreasing trend. The ESs in the study area were mainly affected by climate factors, and anthropogenic factors also had a significant impact on ESs. LERI exhibited a negative correlation with the provision of ESs and demonstrated a high explanatory power for ES changes, especially for CS, HQ and TES, suggesting that areas with more stable landscape patterns are likely to harbor greater levels of ESs. The results provide insights into the analysis of the characteristics of ES change in vulnerable mountainous areas, also providing the practical implications for introducing LERI as a driver for ES change.

Abstract:

BackgroundSubtropical China is a global center of biodiversity and one of the most important refugia worldwide. Mountains play an important role in conserving the genetic resources of species.Liriodendron chinenseis a Tertiary relict tree largely endemic to subtropical China. In this study, we aimed to achieve a better understanding of the phylogeographical pattern ofL. chinenseand to explore the role of mountains in the conservation ofL. chinensegenetic resources.MethodsThree chloroplast regions (psbJ-petA,rpl32-ndhF, andtrnK5’-matK) were sequenced in 40 populations ofL. chinensefor phylogeographical analyses. Relationships among chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) haplotypes were determined using median-joining networks, and genetic structure was examined by spatial analysis of molecular variance (SAMOVA). The ancestral area of the species was reconstructed using the Bayesian binary Markov Chain Monte Carlo (BBM) method according to its geographic distribution and a maximum parsimony (MP) tree based on Bayesian methods.ResultsObvious phylogeographic structure was found inL. chinense. SAMOVA revealed seven groups matching the major landscape features of theL. chinensedistribution area. The haplotype network showed three clades distributed in the eastern, southwestern, and northwestern regions. Separate northern and southern refugia were found in the Wu Mountains and Yungui Plateau, with genetic admixture in the Dalou Mountains and Wuling Mountains. BBM revealed a more ancient origin ofL. chinensein the eastern region, with a west–east split most likely having occurred during the Mindel glacial stage.DiscussionThe clear geographical distributions of haplotypes suggested multiple mountainous refugia ofL. chinense. The east–west lineage split was most likely a process of gradual genetic isolation and allopatric lineage divergence when the Nanling corridor was frequently occupied by evergreen or coniferous forest during Late Quaternary oscillations. Hotspots of haplotype diversity in the Dalou Mountains and Wuling Mountains likely benefited from gene flow from the Wu Mountains and Yungui Plateau. Collectively, these results indicate that mountain regions should be the main units for conserving and collecting genetic resources ofL. chinenseand other similar species in subtropical China.

Full text

Abstract:

Forest productivity is influenced by various factors, including biodiversity, environmental factors, functional traits, and forest types. However, the relative importance of these factors in determining the productivity of subtropical forests in southern China remains controversial. In this study, we analyzed a dataset of 24 forest plots from four subtropical forest types in the Nanling Mountains with the main goal of identifying and quantifying the relative contribution of the main driving factors of forest productivity in these forests. Generalized linear regression and structural equation modeling were used to examine the relationship between forest biomass productivity (aboveground, belowground and total), biodiversity (taxonomic diversity, phylogenetic diversity and functional diversity), and environmental variables (i.e., physiography and climate). The results indicated that both environmental factors and biodiversity played pivotal roles in explaining the biomass productivity of the Nanling subtropical forests. Environmental factors had the greatest influence on total productivity, while the impacts of different types of biodiversity on various productivity components (aboveground and belowground) varied notably. Taxonomic diversity showed the strongest positive effect on the aboveground and belowground biomass productivity. However, phylogenetic and functional diversity had negative effects on productivity. Furthermore, these relationships also exhibited variations when considering different altitude gradients, with low altitudes generally leading to negative biodiversity–productivity correlations. We contextualized our results regarding the three state-of-the-art theories about biodiversity–productivity relationships (selection probability, niche complementarity, and biomass ratio) and concluded that both selection probability and niche complementarity are the driving mechanisms of productivity in the subtropical forests of the Nanling Mountains. This study offers valuable insights into the functioning and biodiversity mechanisms of subtropical forest ecosystems in southern China.

Abstract:

Climate and land use directly influence species’ spatial distribution, which can alter species’ distribution and lead to significant changes in biodiversity spatial patterns. There are few reports on how climate and land use changes affect plant biodiversity spatial distribution patterns. This study focuses on Chinese endemic tree plants, analyzing the changes in hotspots under current and future conditions (2050 SSP1–2.6 and SSP5–8.5 climate and land use scenarios). Using spatial distribution data of endemic tree plants in China, the Biomod2-integrated species distribution model, and the “top 5% diversity” hotspot identification method, we examine species richness (SR), functional diversity (FD), and phylogenetic diversity (PD). The results indicate that with changes in climate and land use: (1) significant shifts occur in the spatial distribution patterns of hotspots. Although the number of hotspots identified by different diversity indices varies, fragmentation increases across all scenarios. (2) Hotspots tend to concentrate in low-latitude and high-altitude regions. In future scenarios, the longitudinal position of hotspots is significantly lower, and their elevation is significantly higher compared to the current scenario. (3) The spatial patterns of plant diversity in hotspots also change significantly. The SR and PD patterns show similar distribution trends across different scenarios. Under current conditions, the highest values of SR and PD are found in the eastern mountainous regions, such as the Wuyi Mountains and Nanling Mountains, while in future scenarios, they shift to central and western mountainous areas like the Qinling Mountains and Hengduan Mountains. The FD distribution pattern differs, with its highest values consistently found in southeastern Tibet and the Hengduan Mountains across all scenarios. Thus, climate and land use changes not only alter the spatial distribution of hotspots but also change plant diversity within them. This study provides scientific evidence for regional-scale biodiversity conservation under global change.

Abstract:

As the largest mountain range in Southern China, the natural vegetation of Nanling plays an irreplaceable role in maintaining the stability of the ecosystem and exerting its functions. The forested area of the Nanling Corridor encompasses 168,633 km2, with a forest coverage rate exceeding 60% of all cities together. Long-term analysis of the temporal and spatial evolution of this forest and the disturbance factors in this region is of great importance for realizing the “dual carbon” goals, sustainable forest management, and protecting biodiversity. In this study, remote sensing images from a Landsat time series with a resolution of 30 m were obtained from the GEE (Google Earth Engine) cloud processing platform, and forest disturbance data were obtained using the LandTrendr algorithm. Using a machine learning random forest algorithm, the forest disturbance status and disturbance factors were explored from 2001 to 2020. The results show that the estimated disturbed forest area from 2001 to 2020 was 11,904.3 km2, accounting for 7.06% of the total area of the 11 cities in the Nanling Corridor, and the average annual disturbed area was 595.22 km2. From 2001 to 2016, the overall disturbed area increased, reaching a peak value of 1553.36 km2 in 2008, with a low value of 37.71 km2 in 2002. After 2016, the disturbed area showed a downward trend. In this study, an attribution analysis of forest disturbance factors was carried out. The results showed that the overall accuracy of forest disturbance factor attribution was as high as 82.48%, and the Kappa coefficient was 0.70. Among the disturbance factors, deforestation factors accounted for 58.45% of the total area of forest disturbance, followed by fire factors (28.69%) and building or road factors (12.85%). The regional distribution of each factor also had significant characteristics, and the Cutdown factors were mostly distributed in the lower elevations of the mountain margin, with most of them distributed in sheets. The fire factors were spatially distributed in the center of the mountains, and their distribution was loose. Building or road factors were mostly distributed in clusters or lines. These research results are expected to provide technical and data support for the study of the large-scale spatiotemporal evolution of forests and its driving mechanisms.

Abstract:

Rapid climate change has significantly impacted species distribution patterns, necessitating a comprehensive understanding of dominant tree dynamics for effective forest resource management and utilization. The Camellia subgenus Camellia, a widely distributed taxon in subtropical China, represents an ecologically and economically important group of woody plants valued for both oil production and ornamental purposes. In this study, we employed the BIOMOD2 ensemble modeling framework to investigate the spatial distribution patterns and range dynamics of the subgenus Camellia under projected climate change scenarios. Our analysis incorporated 1455 georeferenced occurrence records from 15 species, following the filtering of duplicate points, along with seven bioclimatic variables selected after highly correlated factors were eliminated. The ensemble model, which integrates six single species distribution models, demonstrated robust predictive performance, with mean true skil l statistic (TSS) and area under curve (AUC) values exceeding 0.8. Our results identified precipitation of the coldest quarter (Bio19) and temperature seasonality (Bio4) as the primary determinants influencing species distribution patterns. The center of species richness for the subgenus Camellia was located in the Nanling Mountains and eastern Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. The projections indicate an overall expansion of suitable habitats for the subgenus under future climate conditions, with notable scenario-dependent variations: distribution hotspots are predicted to increase by 8.86% under the SSP126 scenario but experience a 2.53% reduction under the SSP585 scenario. Furthermore, a westward shift in the distribution centroid is anticipated. To ensure long-term conservation of Camellia genetic resources, we recommend establishing a germplasm conservation center in the Nanling Mountains region, which represents a critical biodiversity hotspot for this taxon.

Abstract:

Three cryptic species, which were previously reported as Nidirana adenopleura, are revealed on the basis of comprehensive approaches. Nidirana guangdongensis Lyu, Wan, and YY Wang, sp. nov. is distributed in Nanling Mountains and southern Luoxiao Mountains, Nidirana mangveni Lyu, Qi, and YY Wang, sp. nov. is known from northern Zhejiang, and Nidirana xiangica Lyu and YY Wang, sp. nov. occurs in Xiangjiang River Basin, while the true Nidirana adenopleura is designated from Taiwan Island, northern Fujian, southern Zhejiang, and central Jiangxi. These three new species can be distinguished from all congeners by significant divergences in the mitochondrial 16S and CO1 genes, differences in advertisement calls, and the combination of multiple characteristics. This work indicates that the current records of Nidirana adenopleura should be of a species complex composed of multiple species and have clarified the true identity of N. adenopleura.

Abstract:

Late Pleistocene and early post-Pleistocene communities in East Asia experimented with pottery production and the domestication of plants and animals. What was the nature of the social organisation of these early small-scale societies? Some North American writers consider pottery making to be a ‘prestige technology’ sponsored by aggrandising individuals. However, examples from south of the Nanling Mountains and other areas have simple tool assemblages and site plans showing very little evidence of social differences. Judging from recent debates about social agency, there are more appropriate explanations for the earliest pottery making, which focus on the collective rather than the individual.

Abstract:

Abstract. Reliable perennial biomonitoring of airborne polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) is urgently necessary to detect long-term impacts of anthropogenic emission, in response to industrial policies and combustion technology adoption. One hundred records of airborne PAHs were novelly demonstrated by analyzing the tree-rings of Kwangtung pine (Pinus kwangtungensis) formed from 1883 to 2007 at Naling Mountains of southern China. The total concentrations of PAHs (∑PAHs) detected in the tree xylem did not progressively increase against the time. Temporal increase of high molecular-weight PAHs (HMW-PAHs) coincided well to the historical-socioeconomic status in China, suggesting HMW-PAHs in old trees growing at high mountains were more indicative of regionally historical changes in airborne PAHs compared with ∑PAHs. Compositional analysis indicated airborne PAHs absorbed and accumulated in tree tissues were pyrogenic origination. Principal component analysis revealed PAHs inputs were quite historically diversiform and unevenly distributed in the atmosphere of Nanling Mountains of southern China. Dendroanalysis of old trees grown at geographically sink locations could be a useful biomonitoring technique for unravelling historical changes in PAHs composition and intensity in the atmosphere, in relation to regional industrial development and fuel consumptions.

Abstract:

Paris nitida is a newly published species, but little is known about its morphological characteristics, distribution and phylogenetic relationship. In this study, field investigation, literature study, morphological observation and molecular nrITS sequence analysis were used to improve knowledge of this species. Morphological traits of P. nitida were found to be more similar to those of Paris fargesii var. brevipetalata, rather than Paris caobangensis as reported before; moreover, a new distribution record in the centre of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau was found; additionally, P. nitida was clustered with Paris fargesii var. fargesii, P. fargesii var. brevipetalata, and P. caobangensi in a NJ tree based on the ITS sequences. Accordingly, P. nitida is more closely related to P. sect. Fargesianae rather than P. caobangensis; the habitat of P. nitida is located from south of the Yangtze River to the north of the Nanling Mountains, mainly including the central part of Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau and central Chinese mountains. It is geographically isolated from P. caobangensis, which occurs in northern Vietnam. The central part of Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau may be its area of origin.

Full text

Abstract:

Knowledge of spatio-temporal variation in vegetation phenology is essential for understanding environmental change in mountainous regions. In recent decades, satellite remote sensing has contributed to the understanding of vegetation phenology across the globe. However, vegetation phenology in subtropical mountains remains poorly understood, despite their important ecosystem functions and services. Here, we aim to characterize the spatio-temporal pattern of the start of the growing season (SOS), a typical spring leaf phenological metric, in subtropical forests across the Nanling Mountains (108–116° E, 24–27° N) in southern China. SOS was estimated from time series of GEOV2 leaf area index (LAI) data at 1 km spatial resolution during the period 1999–2019. We observed a slightly earlier regional mean SOS in the southern of the region (24–25° N) than those in the central and northern regions. We also observed spatially varying elevation gradients of the SOS. The SOS showed a change slope of −0.2 days/year (p = 0.21) at the regional scale over 1999–2019. In addition, approximately 22% of the analyzed forested pixels experienced a significantly earlier SOS (p < 0.1). Partial correlation analysis revealed that preseason air temperature was the most responsible climate factor controlling interannual variation in SOS for this region. Furthermore, impacts of air temperature on the SOS vary with forest types, with mixed forests showing a stronger correlation between the SOS and air temperature in spring and weaker in winter than those of evergreen broadleaf forests and open forests. This suggests the complication of the role of air temperature in regulating spring leaf phenology in subtropical forests.

Abstract:

The potential vegetation can reflect climatic influence on vegetation type change, and provide a scientific reference and guide for restoration and reconstruction of vegetation ecosystems. Meteorological observation data from 1961 to 2017 and predicative data under the Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP2.6, RCP4.5, RCP6.0 and RCP8.5) during 2030s, 2050s and 2080s, in conjunction with comprehensive sequential classification system (CSCS) model and Geographic Information System (GIS) technology, were used to analyse the spatio-temporal distribution and variation of Sensitive Regions of Potential Vegetation (SRPV) in China. Results suggested that SRPV presented a pattern of total dispersion and partial agglomeration under all scenarios. The agglomerate regions spread from north-eastern China (e.g. Inner Mongolia Plateau, Greater Xing’an Mountains, and North-east Plain) to south-western China (e.g. Loess Plateau, Qinling–Huaihe belt, Nanling Mountains, Jiangnan hills, Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, and Tarim Basin). From the 2030s to the 2080s, SRPV exhibited characteristics of expansion and migration to the north under RCP scenarios. The distributed area of SRPV increased with increased radiation emission intensity. These results both further expand the research on potential vegetation using the CSCS, and also provide reference for governments to ensure vegetation ecological protection.

Abstract:

Coleoptera comprise 198 families and over 440,000 species to date, of which 143 families and over 35,000 species are known in China. Of these, only 64 families have been recorded in Guangdong Province, fewer than in Hong Kong. To investigate the insect diversity of Guangdong, numerous specimens were collected from the Nanling Mountains and the Greater Bay Area using various methods, and over 200,000 specimens of Coleoptera were assigned to families. Thus, a preliminary study of beetles at the family-level in Guangdong is carried out based on the examined specimens and historical records. An updated checklist of beetle families in Guangdong increases the number of families from 64 to 111, in which Eupsilobiidae is recorded for the first time in China and a new species, Eidoreus haizhuensis sp. nov. is described here, demonstrating the importance of persistent collecting with different methods for the study of insect diversity. Habitus images of most of the beetle families occurring in Guangdong are provided. And the updated records are compared in detail with the published records, showing that more families may potentially be found in Guangdong, requiring further field work and taxonomists working on niche groups.

Full text

Abstract:

Due to overexploitation and habitat loss, the Chinese pangolin (Manis pentadactyla) is in such extreme decline that it is so rare in the wild as to be considered functionally extinct, even in Guangdong, which was historically a major distribution area for the species. This study sought to verify whether functional extinction has occurred using observation records from field surveys, infrared wildlife cameras, rescue and enforcement cases and the published literature. The results indicated that suitable habitat occurred within 63.4% of the forested land in Guangdong, but only 17.6% of this area was deemed highly suitable, and 82.3% of all suitable habitat occurred outside of protected areas. Thus, the Chinese pangolin is not yet functionally extinct in Guangdong, but urgent conservation and restoration actions must be taken to ensure its persistence. Chinese pangolins in Guangdong Province are primarily distributed in the Lianhua Mountain and Nanling Mountains, with 91.6% belonging to a single population. From 1980 to 2020, the urban area increased by 776 km2, largely via conversion from agricultural land (48.6%). Suitable habitat for Chinese pangolins was reduced and became more fragmented over this time period, highlighting the urgent need for the establishment of protected areas, habitat restoration and cooperation with local residents.

Full text

Abstract:

Abstract Low-level jets (LLJs) are a key factor regulating the early-summer rainfall over southern China. Their detailed activities and impact are examined using 21-yr ERA5 and TRMM rainfall data. The LLJs typically consist of boundary layer jets (BLJs) and synoptic-system-related LLJs (SLLJs). The BLJ is usually characterized by a southerly wind maximum at 950 hPa over the northern area of South China Sea, whereas the SLLJ features a southwesterly wind maximum at 850–700 hPa located more north on land. Meanwhile, the BLJ (SLLJ) has a maximum occurrence in April–June (May–July) and at late night (in the early morning), indicating the differences in seasonal and diurnal variations. The two types of LLJs are found to influence the rainfall distribution via terrain effects, synoptic disturbances, and moisture transport. During the BLJ events, rainfall is mainly confined to the south side of the Nanling and Wuyi Mountains and Yun-Gui Plateau (south region), whereas during the SLLJ events rainfall occurs both in the coastal region and to the north of the mountains (north region). The difference is caused by the southerly BLJ that induces strong orographic lifting on the windward side of the mountains, while the elevated SLLJ can pass over the mountains driving an additional upward motion more north. Active synoptic disturbances accompanied by SLLJs are also favorable for the rainfall in the north region. The moisture transportation by LLJs is another important factor regulating rainfall distribution. Rainfall in the south (north) region is mainly attributed to the net moisture flux in the boundary layer (more elevated layers) due to the BLJ (SLLJ).

Full text

Abstract:

The study explores the characteristics of morning extreme precipitation (MEP) during the pre-summer in inland Guangdong. Based on the principal modes, MEP events can be classified into four groups. The first group of MEP (G1) is a typical southeastward-propagating rainfall system originating from the northwestern mountains. This is caused by the strongest accelerated southwesterly winds at night, which bring abundant moist and warm air from the South China Sea (SCS) along with the shear line and the highest convective available potential energy (CAPE). The second group of MEP (G2) is warm-sector heavy rainfall with large-scale warming and higher CAPE. This local rainfall system originates in the south of Nanling mountains at night and reaches its mature stage in the morning. The rainfall system of the third group (G3) originates in central Guangxi and propagates to the southern inland region. The southeasterly winds in Guangxi intensify at night due to the anomalous cyclonic circulation. However, in the morning, the easterly winds shift to the westerlies, favoring eastward propagation. After SCS monsoon onset, cold air intrudes southward, colliding with moist warm air from the SCS, leading to heavy frontal precipitation in the inland region, classified as the fourth group MEP (G4).

The family Nemouridae, belonging to Plecoptera, comprises 21 genera and over 700 species found globally, with the greatest diversity observed in temperate regions. <i>Nemoura</i> Latreille, 1796 and <i>Amphinemura</i> Ris, 1902 are two largest genera of the family with the highest diversity in China.Two new species of <i>Nemoura</i> Latreille, 1796 of the family Nemouridae, <i>Nemoura exterclava</i> Zhu, Rehman & Du sp. nov. and <i>Nemoura cerciserrata</i> Zhu, Du & Rehman sp. nov., are described and illustrated from the Nanling Mountains Region in Guangdong Province, southern China. The morphological characteristics of the new species are compared with related taxa. Additionally, the status of <i>Indonemoura voluta</i> Li & Yang, 2008, originally from Maoershan National Natural Reserve in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, was addressed and moved to the genus <i>Amphinemura</i> Ris, 1902 on the basis of newly-caught topotypes.
