Taking Quchi River, Songzi City, Jingzhou, Hubei Province as the survey site, the ornamental characteristics of local ferns resources were investigated and counted, and the ornamental value of 26 species of ferns was comprehensively evaluated by the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). Three evaluation criteria and 15 evaluation factors were selected to establish the appraisal system of ornamental characteristics of ferns in Quchi River, The ornamental grade of 26 species of ferns was divided in order to provide a basis for the application of ferns in landscape architecture. The results showed that the weight of leaves was the highest among the first-grade indexes, which was the most important index affecting the ornamental value of ferns. In the secondary indicators, the weight of leaf shape, young leaf color, leaf rarity and leaf color on the ornamental value of ferns is more than 10%, which has a great impact on the evaluation results. Among the participating plants, the comprehensive evaluation of grade I included Brainea insig-nis , Struthiopteris eburnea , Lygodium japonicum , Aleuritopteris argentea, Odontosoria chinensis , and Selaginella tamariscina . These six kinds of ferns have high ornamental value and have good garden application prospects.

Traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) continues to erode as a result of globalization and the homogenization of diverse cultures, yet it has helped to conserve natural resources and preserve nature for centuries. Biosphere reserves have been established in regions where both cultural and natural resource assortments are deemed rich. The present study was carried out in the Pachmarhi Biosphere Reserve (PBR) of India with the major objective of investigating the TEK of local communities with respect to the sustainability of nature and natural resources. Through both a questionnaire and interviews with tribal groups in PBR, a total of 128 plant species were documented, of which the highest number of species (52%) was used for food, followed by medicine (40%), cultural practices (13%), and construction of houses (11%). Apart from the collection of plants from the adjacent forests for their sustenance, the tribal groups engaged in various other activities including farming practices, maintenance of home gardens, soil and water conservation, and continuance of sacred groves. The nature and natural resource-based livelihood and conservation activities of tribal groups involve specific cultural practices and customary norms. This study reveals that the traditional knowledge of tribal communities offers unique ideas for developing and contributing to more effective sustainable management practices and nature conservation. It has a great potential to strengthen the agriculture and health sectors, as the tribal communities have accumulated a fair amount of knowledge in such sectors.

Most research on avian functional diversity in the tropics is focused on forest and agroecosystems, leaving a gap in knowledge about the effects of habitat types on functional diversity in savannah landscapes. Savanna ecosystems are fragile and are under threat of anthropogenic destruction, particularly in developing Sub-Saharan Africa and could be eliminated in the face of the ever-increasing human population exacerbated by the changing climate. This study investigated the influence of the three major habitat types (grassland, riparian forest, woodland) on bird species and functional diversity in the Mole National Park (MNP) in Ghana. We used the line transect method to survey birds along 39 transects, each 1 km in length, and collected data on environmental variables along the same transects. Data from these surveys was used to estimate species and functional diversity indicators. We found significant variations in species and functional diversity measures between the three habitat types in the MNP. These variations were significantly influenced by species abundance and environmental covariates. Diversity measures were particularly higher in the riparian forest habitats compared to the woodland and grassland, with the latter being the least diverse habitat both functionally and species wise. The results of this study suggest that the avifauna assemblages in MNP are largely influenced by the riparian forest and are important for ecosystem function and stability. We recommend management efforts to intensify the protection of such vital habitats of the Mole National Park from illegal human activities, especially the rising removal and export of rosewoods (Dalbergia nigra) around the park. Further research on the avian community composition and structure in the MNP is recommended.
关于热带地区鸟类功能多样性的研究大多集中在森林和农业生态系统上,对于栖息地类型对热带稀树草原景观功能多样性的影响还存在空白。稀树草原生态系统是脆弱的,受到人为破坏的威胁,特别是在发展中的撒哈拉以南非洲,面对人口不断增加而气候变化加剧的情况,可能会被消灭。研究了加纳摩尔国家公园(Mole National Park, MNP) 3种主要生境类型(草地、河岸林、林地)对鸟类种类和功能多样性的影响。采用线样带法对39个长度为1 km的样带进行了鸟类调查,并收集了这些样带的环境变量数据。这些调查的数据被用来估计物种和功能多样性指标。研究发现,三种生境类型在物种和功能多样性方面存在显著差异。这些变化受物种丰度和环境协变量的显著影响。与林地和草地相比,河岸森林生境的多样性指标尤其高,后者在功能和物种方面都是最不多样化的生境。研究结果表明,鸟类群落在很大程度上受河岸森林的影响,对生态系统的功能和稳定性具有重要意义。我们建议管理部门加强对鼹鼠国家公园这些重要栖息地的保护,使其免受非法人类活动的影响,特别是公园周围红木(Dalbergia nigra)日益增加的砍伐和出口。建议对MNP的鸟类群落组成和结构进行进一步的研究。
