On August 24-26, Lin Tian and Zhao Zhen came back to pay a visit to the group for a discussion of collaboration between the two bodies. They visited the lab, and of cause had dinners and lunches together with several group members. They have at moment two MSc students visiting the group, and suppose to send more in the future. Time goes by and they stay well and have done well with their jobs in Shanghai Ocean University. In the picture there is Li Jing who the same as Zhao Zhen stayed in HZG in Germany with Dr Xie Zhiyong （谢志勇）; and Weiru one of whose teachers in Chongqing University was Wang Fengwen（王锋文） who studied with Professor Guo Zhigang （郭志刚）, as Lin Tian did. Complicated?

On July 21, a group of us including 时真、李静、广财、扬之 paid a half-day visit to Research Institute of Tropical Forestry (RITF) of Chinese Academy of Forestry. RITF is located within 15 minutes away from our institute. We had a quite formal meeting between the SKLOG people and the 南岭北江源生态实验站. Professors We Zhongmin (吴仲民）and Zhou Guangyi (周光益）has been my long time friends. Guangyi gave a detailed introduction of their field facilities across Nanling and their research on the response of forestry ecosystem on climate abnormalities. I gave a talk introducing organic geochemistry and SKLOG . The two sides then had plenty discussion on potential collaborations. I summarized the possibilities as: i) tree rings for¹⁴CO₂; ii) sediment records of historical cold/frozen events and ecosystem response; 3) forestry breath of ¹⁴CO₂; and 4) BC/DBC in fired forest ecosystems in Nanling. We had a lot of drink after the fruitful discussion which last almost 3 hours. Li Jing would be very happy to receive a very precious gift from Professor Wang Xu of RIFT which are preserved tree rings of Guangdong Pine collected from each 3 altitudes from the South and the North aspectes of Nanling! Happy life and enjoyable gathering!

PS: On July 5-8, invited by Zhongmin, I had opportunity to go with a group of experts to the RIFT Nanling Observatory facilities across the mountains. I had a deep impression on the trip and the facilities; and was figuring ideas in mind for potential collaborations/further explores. Now it is clear. I wrote a Ci poetry (词）recording the great trip, below, with many nice poctures in the field.

【浣溪沙南岭记行】

其一
雨后江山肆意骄，白烟恋翠瀑声潮。轻车六月、路迢遥。
绿谷西瑶何所见？得参样地九方坳。层流渗漏、计厘毫。
其二
武水源流莽岭峤，分湘界粤入云霄。松杉针铁、竞粗豪。
百里平湖舒两岸，浊溪润草粉蝶娆。红军故事、乐昌谣。
其三
青嶂山青野草茅，玲珑铁塔过树梢，精心适配、水林交。
迤逦闲心说笑语，江山如画逝流韶，烧鹅就酒、酹滔滔。

Prof Wang Xu (王旭) transferred the precious tree ring samples from Nanling (South and North aspects, each at 3 elevations, from ca. 800-1500 masl) to Li Jing.
