Pilot Study in Futian Mangrove National Nature Reserve

On Jan 8th, a group of us (Shizhen, Jianchu and Weiru) went to Futian mangrove national nature reserve for pilote study. It was the first time that they need to recognize species of trees for sampling. With the help of Dr. Gao from Guangdong Academy Of Forestry, they successfully collected young leaves and old leaves of kandelia candel (秋茄), aegiceras (桐花), bruguiera (木榄) and acanthus ilicifolius (老鼠簕), which are usually found in mangrove forests of coastal areas of Southeast Asia and southern China. Also, they collected one paired of surface water sample and sediment sample as well as two tree ring samples of kandelia cande.

The reason why mangrove is so called “red forest”: Tannins appear red when oxidized.

We were collecting the leaves.

Happy New Year 2024!

On Dec 30th in 2023, 8 members of Air-Omics Squad, Prof. Gan, Yinjian and Bolong were gathered together to celebrate the completion of the third year of fish plan (“咸鱼”计划) in a traditional restaurant of Hunan cuisine recommended by Jibing. The swiss brown cattle is the specialty because of its tender texture and authentic taste. After eating our fill, we walk to the gymnasium for the beautiful streetscape. The streets have been decorated with appealing lamps for the approaching new year. May the bright and festive glow of the New Year lamp warm the days all the year through! Happy New Year!

 

Regular Air Sampling Campaign at Nanling Initiated

On the 20th of December, the regular air sampling campaign was initiated in Nanling Atmospheric Monitoring Site.  Shizhen, Bolong, Lele, Kun, Jianchu and Weiru set up two active air samplers as well as one passive bulk deposition collector on the rooftop of the station. Atmospheric particulate and gaseous samplesand bulk deposition samples will be collected synchronically at the 3 key sites including Heshan (receptor site), Guangzhou (urban site) and Nanling (Background site). We look forward to fruitful results from this fieldwork.
