Habitat loss is the decline of ecological (or environmental) area (or community) by any action resulting in unfavourable conditions for species to complete their lifecycles (Galvin 2007). Habitat loss is one of the main drivers for the decline of especially endemic species in South Africa as well as globally (International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) 2015). To preserve the indigenous habitats that are within its jurisdiction, the South African National Parks (SANParks) is implementing rehabilitation projects where varying degrees and types of habitat degradation occur (South African National Parks (SANParks) 2016).
栖息地丧失是指生态(或环境)面积(或群落)的减少,导致物种完成其生命周期的不利条件(Galvin 2007)。栖息地丧失是南非乃至全球特有物种减少的主要驱动因素之一(国际自然保护联盟(IUCN) 2015)。为了保护其管辖范围内的土著栖息地,南非国家公园(SANParks)正在实施不同程度和类型的栖息地退化的修复项目(南非国家公园(SANParks) 2016)。

Effective conservation and management of organisms require an understanding of how species are spatially distributed at both broad and fine spatial resolutions, and ideally also the underlying determinants of their distribution patterns (Hurlbert & Jetz 2007; Kery 2011). However, species geographic data that may help inform conservation management decisions are often limited and biased in their collection strategies (Franklin 2010). For example, although museum databases often include occurrence data of collected specimens, the principal purpose of most museum collections is to act as reference catalogues for species identification rather than for species distribution mapping (Newbold 2010). It is important to note that although several museum specimens are collected directly as a result of systematic sampling, many specimens are collected opportunistically (Kadmon, Farber & Danin 2004; Pyke & Ehrlich 2010). As a result, collection effort and spatial coverage within museum data naturally vary depending on the interests of the collection. Despite this, a recently increased urgency in the need for species distribution information has placed a greater emphasis on the use of museum databases for amassing species occurrence records (Syfert, Smith & Coomes 2013).
有效的生物保护和管理需要了解物种如何在广泛和精细的空间分辨率下进行空间分布,理想情况下还需要了解其分布模式的潜在决定因素(Hurlbert & Jetz 2007;Kery 2011)。然而,可能有助于为保护管理决策提供信息的物种地理数据往往是有限的,并且在收集策略中存在偏见(Franklin 2010)。例如,虽然博物馆数据库通常包括所收集标本的发生数据,但大多数博物馆藏品的主要目的是作为物种鉴定的参考目录,而不是物种分布制图(Newbold 2010)。值得注意的是,尽管一些博物馆标本是直接作为系统采样的结果而收集的,但许多标本是偶然收集的(Kadmon, Farber & Danin 2004;Pyke & Ehrlich 2010)。因此,博物馆数据的收集工作和空间覆盖范围自然会根据收藏的兴趣而变化。尽管如此,最近对物种分布信息的需求日益迫切,这使得人们更加重视使用博物馆数据库来收集物种发生记录(Syfert, Smith & Coomes 2013)。

One of the core research areas of the South African National Survey of Arachnida (SANSA) is to determine the number of arachnid species presently conserved in protected areas, including the South African National Parks (SANParks) (Dippenaar-Schoeman & Haddad 2006; DippenaarSchoeman 2016). The species distribution data generated through SANParks and other surveys feeds into the conservation assessments used to compile the Red Data List of the Arachnida of South Africa (Lyle & Dippenaar-Schoeman 2015).

Ecology of palustrine wetlands in Lesotho: Vegetation classification, description and environmental factors 莱索托河口湿地生态学:植被分类、描述与环境因子
IF 1.1 4区 环境科学与生态学 Q3 BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION Pub Date : 2019-10-31 DOI: 10.4102/koedoe.v61i1.1574

Palustrine wetlands, which cover about 6% of the earth’s land surface, are among the most ecologically sensitive ecosystems and very important globally because of their unique role in biogeochemical cycles (Junk et al. 2013; Mitsch & Gosselink 2015). Because they support azonal vegetation that is distinct from the surrounding vegetation (Mucina & Rutherford 2006; Sieben et al. 2016), wetlands are ecological ‘islands’ within terrestrial environments in different landscapes across the globe. The distinction results from the prolonged water logging that causes oxygen deficiency (hypoxia) or its total absence (anoxia) in the wetland soil, with subsequent chemical changes in soil characteristics (Gopal 2015; Mitsch & Gosselink 2015). Mucina and Rutherford (2006) observed that the presence of water, whether seasonal or permanent, is the primary factor in creating wetland habitats and associated vegetation. Nonetheless, it is not wetness per se that primarily influences the geochemistry and morphology of wetland soils, but rather the anaerobic conditions that result from prolonged soil saturation or flooding (Collins 2005; Kotze et al. 1996). The description and classification of wetland vegetation is important for water resource management and biodiversity conservation as it provides an understanding of the wetland vegetation–environment relationships and information to interpret spatial variation in plant communities. This study discusses the vegetation of the palustrine wetlands of Lesotho based on a phytosociological approach. Data on vegetation and various environmental variables were collected using the Braun-Blanquet method and a standardised protocol developed for environmental information of wetlands in South Africa. The data were analysed mainly by clustering and ordination techniques. Twenty-two communities were found by the classification of the wetland vegetation. These communities were found to be diverse in terms of species richness. The ordination revealed that the wetland vegetation is mainly influenced by altitude, longitude, slope, soil parent material, landscape, inundation, potassium content, soil texture, total organic carbon, nitrogen, electrical conductivity and latitude. Regarding species composition and diversity, plant communities in the Highlands were more diverse and were distinctively different from those in the Lowlands. High-altitude communities were also found to be dominated mainly by C3 plants, while those at low altitudes exhibited the dominance of C4 species. Some communities were either restricted to the Highlands or Lowlands but others exhibited a wide ecological amplitude and occurred over an extensive altitudinal range. The diversity of most of the wetlands, coupled with their restricted habitat, distribution at high altitudes and their role in supplying ecosystem services that include water resources, highlights the high conservation value associated with these wetlands, particularly in the face of climate chang
沼泽湿地约占地球陆地面积的6%,是生态最敏感的生态系统之一,由于其在生物地球化学循环中的独特作用,在全球范围内非常重要(Junk et al. 2013;Mitsch & Gosselink 2015)。因为它们支持与周围植被不同的地带性植被(Mucina & Rutherford 2006;Sieben et al. 2016),湿地是全球不同景观中陆地环境中的生态“岛屿”。这种区别是由于长时间的淹水导致湿地土壤缺氧(缺氧)或完全缺氧(缺氧),随后土壤特征发生化学变化(Gopal 2015;Mitsch & Gosselink 2015)。Mucina和Rutherford(2006)观察到,水的存在,无论是季节性的还是永久性的,都是创造湿地栖息地和相关植被的主要因素。然而,主要影响湿地土壤地球化学和形态的不是湿度本身,而是长期土壤饱和或洪水造成的厌氧条件(Collins 2005;Kotze et al. 1996)。湿地植被的描述和分类对水资源管理和生物多样性保护具有重要意义,为理解湿地植被与环境的关系和解释植物群落的空间变化提供了信息。本研究基于植物社会学的方法讨论了莱索托河口湿地的植被。利用Braun-Blanquet方法和为南非湿地环境信息制定的标准化协议收集了植被和各种环境变量的数据。数据分析主要采用聚类和排序技术。通过对湿地植被的分类,共发现22个群落。这些群落在物种丰富度方面具有多样性。排序结果表明,湿地植被主要受海拔、经度、坡度、土壤母质、景观、淹没、钾含量、土壤质地、总有机碳、总氮、电导率和纬度的影响。在物种组成和多样性方面,高原地区的植物群落多样性明显高于低地地区。高海拔群落以C3植物为主,低海拔群落以C4植物为主。有些群落局限于高地或低地,而另一些群落则表现出广泛的生态幅度,分布在广泛的海拔范围内。大多数湿地的多样性,加上它们有限的生境、分布在高海拔地区以及它们在提供包括水资源在内的生态系统服务方面的作用,突出了这些湿地的高度保护价值,特别是在面对气候变化和生物多样性丧失的情况下。

Avian botulism is a non-infectious bird disease resulting from the ingestion of toxins produced by the gram-positive bacterium Clostridium botulinum (Rocke & Friend 1999). Seven different types of botulism neurotoxins occur, labelled A to G (Collins & East 1998), as well as mosaics that have characteristics of two toxins (Rocke & Friend 1999). Avian botulism outbreaks are typically caused by type C (Wobeser 1997), mosaic C/D (Anza et al. 2014) or type E (Getchell & Bowser 2006; Rocke & Friend 1999). Fish die-offs are typically caused by type E (Cromie et al. 2012). Clostridium botulinum is reportedly widespread in wetland sediments where outbreaks are common, and typically requires a source of protein, warm temperatures and low oxygen conditions to activate and produce toxin (Espelund & Klaveness 2014). The salinity and pH of sediments and water may also affect the probability of botulism outbreaks in aquatic ecosystems (Rocke & Friend 1999). The disease in birds is characterised by a flaccid paralysis of the muscles and is invariably fatal (Rocke & Friend 1999). Death typically results from respiratory failure or drowning.
禽类肉毒杆菌中毒是一种非传染性禽类疾病,由摄入革兰氏阳性杆菌肉毒梭菌产生的毒素引起(Rocke & Friend 1999)。发生七种不同类型的肉毒中毒神经毒素,标记为A到G (Collins & East 1998),以及具有两种毒素特征的马赛克(Rocke & Friend 1999)。禽肉毒中毒暴发通常由C型(Wobeser 1997)、花叶病C/D型(Anza et al. 2014)或E型(Getchell & Bowser 2006;rock & Friend 1999)。鱼类死亡通常是由E型引起的(Cromie et al. 2012)。据报道,肉毒杆菌广泛存在于经常爆发疫情的湿地沉积物中,通常需要蛋白质来源、温暖的温度和低氧条件来激活和产生毒素(Espelund & Klaveness 2014)。沉积物和水的盐度和pH值也可能影响水生生态系统中肉毒中毒爆发的可能性(Rocke & Friend 1999)。这种疾病在禽类中的特点是肌肉弛缓性麻痹,并且总是致命的(Rocke & Friend 1999)。死亡通常是由于呼吸衰竭或溺水。

Tourists become emotionally, physically and socially attached to national parks as they become familiar with the park’s settings and endow it with value. Researchers have pointed out that place attachment leads to environmentally responsible behaviour and higher levels of visitor satisfaction. Therefore, increasing the level of attachment that visitors feel is vital for park and camp managers, and to do so a greater understanding of the various dimensions of it is needed. While attachment to parks has been evaluated previously, attachment to specific camps in parks has not been done. The main purpose of this research study was to measure the extent to which visitors to the Tamboti and Satara camps in the Kruger National Park feel attached to these camps. We also determined whether differences exist between visitors in terms of the level of attachment that they experience towards these camps. Finally, we established the variables that influence place attachment. A self-administered paper-based questionnaire was distributed to visitors to the Tamboti and Satara camps, with 201 questionnaires completed. The results show that visitors generally have a neutral feeling towards the camps. Furthermore, the differences in visitors’ levels of attachment could be attributed to their nationality, wild card membership and frequency of visits. Various managerial implications are drawn and recommendations made on how to increase place attachment to these camps.Conservation implications: This results indicate that visitors do not show particularly strong attachment towards Tamboti and Satara. Recommendations are given for camp managers to increase place attachment to the camps. If camp managers can succeed in fostering stronger levels of attachment to these camps, visitors are more likely to display environmentally responsible behaviour in the camps, with positive conservation implications.
当游客熟悉国家公园的环境并赋予其价值时,他们在情感上、身体上和社会上都对国家公园产生了依恋。研究人员指出,地点依恋会导致对环境负责的行为和更高的游客满意度。因此,增加游客感受到的依恋程度对公园和营地的管理者来说至关重要,要做到这一点,需要更深入地了解它的各个方面。虽然先前对公园的依恋进行了评估,但对公园中特定营地的依恋尚未进行过评估。这项研究的主要目的是衡量克鲁格国家公园坦博提和萨塔拉营地的游客对这些营地的依恋程度。我们还确定了游客对这些营地的依恋程度是否存在差异。最后,我们建立了影响地方依恋的变量。向坦博提和萨塔拉难民营的访客分发了一份自行填写的纸质调查表,其中201份已完成。结果表明,游客对营地的总体感觉是中性的。此外,游客依恋水平的差异可归因于他们的国籍、外卡成员和访问频率。提出了各种管理影响,并就如何增加对这些营地的地方依恋提出了建议。保护意义:这一结果表明游客对Tamboti和Satara并没有特别强烈的依恋。建议营地管理人员增加对营地的地方依恋。如果营地管理人员能够成功地培养对这些营地更强的依恋,游客更有可能在营地中表现出对环境负责的行为,具有积极的保护意义。

Researchers have pointed out that place attachment leads to environmentally responsible behaviour and higher levels of visitor satisfaction. Therefore, increasing the level of attachment that visitors feel is vital for park and camp managers, and to do so a greater understanding of the various dimensions of it is needed. While attachment to parks has been evaluated previously, attachment to specific camps in parks has not been done. The main purpose of this research study was to measure the extent to which visitors to the Tamboti and Satara camps in the Kruger National Park feel attached to these camps. We also determined whether differences exist between visitors in terms of the level of attachment that they experience towards these camps. Finally, we established the variables that influence place attachment. A self-administered paper-based questionnaire was distributed to visitors to the Tamboti and Satara camps, with 201 questionnaires completed.
