Despite rubber expansion, biosphere zoning strategy (i.e. experimental, buffer, core zones), and reforestation activities conducted in NRWNNR were able to enhance the carbon stocks.
In addition, by comparing the fixed reserve network with current functional zoning of WYS, 83% of the reserve network lay in the core zone, while 11.28% and 5.72% located in the buffer zone and transition zone, respectively.
First, based on the official ecological zoning of Chongqing (Luo et al. 2006), five major ecological sub-regions were identified: the metropolitan core zone, the western hilly agricultural zone, the middle parallel-valley agricultural and forest zone, the Three Gorges Reservoir ecological zone, and the southeastern evergreen broad-leaved forest zone.
Results show that the design of the zoning scheme could be improved to account for pandas and their habitat, considering the amount of suitable habitat outside of the core zone (area designated for biodiversity conservation).
For zoning this region, nine major criteria including wildlife habitat, vegetation cover, soil, distance to historical places, water resources, road, scenic beauties in the landscape, and also to residential areas, and to the core zone were considered.
Many have a relatively dense urban core, but have adopted zoning policies that ensure contemporary suburban settlements occur at lower density [23].
In addition, axial zoning of the BPRs was suggested to improve the core performances, and it was shown that the suggested axial zoning of BPRs considerably extends the cycle length compared to a core with no BPR axial zoning.
Garnet in these samples is slightly zoned with core and rim compositions of pyr17(gro + andr 6spes1.5alm75.5 and pyr13.5(gro + andr 5.5spes2alm80, respectively, in the metapelite.
At their core, however, the animations are fiercely nuanced, expressive, and deftly transitioned doodles perfect for zoning out.
