Abstract Species interactions are often context-dependent and complex, such as the grasshopper community and phytoecommunity. The adaption of grasshopper abundance and plant community were determined by topographical heterogeneity. However, it remains vague about how vegetation community, such as coverage, abundance and height, influence the spatial distribution pattern of grasshopper abundance at the altitude gradient. The geostatistical methods were used in natural grassland of the upper reaches of Heihe River to quantify the relationship of spatial correlation. A 5-years investigation shown that 3149 of grasshoppers was collected,belonging to 3 families, 10 genera, and 13 species. The semivariable function of grasshopper abundance and vegetation community followed a nonlinear model. Meanwhile, horizontal distribution of two communities was a clear flaky and plaque distribution pattern, especially at the altitude gradient. The abundance of grasshoppers is opposite to the height and coverage of vegetation and the overall follow ability of coverage, while the local following is consistent. Such as grasshopper abundance, the above 2750m sample with the opposite trend, the following areas were consistent. The grasshoppers exhibited the varieties on vegetation characters among all directions. On the different habits, the spatial distribution formed uniform trends; meanwhile, on the same, the trends diversified with altitude gradient, formed embedded striped patches structure.

Mangrove reforestation is often carried out in various regions or regions, but information about the relationship of environmental factors and the distribution of fauna associations is still very minimal. The Principal Component Analysis (PCA) study on the correlation of environmental factors and the spatial distribution of the molusks community in the Seribu Islands mangrove reforestation area was conducted in March 2014 with the aim of analyzing environmental factors for the diversity and presence of the molusks. Environmental factors are measured insecurely, while the moluccan community is collected by making line transects and plots measuring 10 x 10 m2 and in the size of 10 x 10 m2, a small plot of 1 x 1 m2 is made. The results of the study show that environmental factors are not so different between stations and do not exceed the quality standard for the lives of 4 species of mollusks, where the parameters of aquatic pH are the environmental factors that most influence their distribution.Keywords: environmental factors, distribution, mollusks community, mangrove reforestation, Seribu Islands

The caatinga is characteristic of the semi-arid region of Brazil, of significant coverage in the northeast of the country and, therefore, geoprocessing and statistical techniques can be important tools to analyze the environmental factors associated with its distribution. The present study had the objective of analyzing the relationship of: altimetry, slope, soil type and river proximity in the spatial distribution of the caatinga vegetation, using a database generated by geoprocessing techniques. NDVI was used, and statistical analysis was based on multiple regression and Pearson's correlation. The results show that the weather station is the only variable that presented a high determination coefficient with the caatinga vegetation (R2 = 0.956), while the other independent variables have weak or nonexistent correlation. With the techniques of geoprocessing was allowed to observe that the Caatinga has a generalist spatial distribution of occurrence, not having a defined pattern.

The breeding and occurrence of earthquake closely related to the intensity and spatial distribution of ambient shear stress field. Earthquakes would happen when the regional shear stress enhanced to the damage limit of rocks. In this paper, we used some acceleration records in Gansu province, and calculated corresponding seismic shear stress value according to the theory put forward by Professor Chen Peishan. Combined with the tectonic environment, we discussed the relationship of ambient shear stress with the magnitude and hypocentral depth.

The article describes a method based on the relationship of the integral index of refraction of air with its integral altitude gradient. The refractive index N and its altitude gradient dN / dH are proportional to each other under conditions of limited atmospheric height. It has been established that the gradient of the refractive index can be found by the index itself with a known coefficient of coupling between them. Wherein, it is easy to find the gradient by the angle of complete refraction. Results of experimental studies and recommendations for its use are given. A correlation analysis of the results of synchronous measurements was performed.

Induction of new psoriasis sites was reported in only a small amount of psoriasis patients undergoing tattooing, despite the intuitive belief that tattoo trauma might awaken the disease due to the isomorphic phenomenon of Koebner. In this case report, we discuss a patient who presented with a remarkable sparing of his three tattoo sites during a guttate psoriasis flare-up that was unrelated to tattooing. The spatial concordance of tattoo and psoriasis lesions was analyzed on clinical pictures of tattoo sites taken during the psoriasis episode. For the quantification of the spatial distribution of the psoriasis lesions, Voronoi diagrams were generated, and coefficients of variation and the two-sample t-test were employed to compare the distributions of Voronoi patch sizes in different settings. Compared to skin areas without tattoos, a tattoo introduced a higher variation in the sizes of the Voronoi patches centered around psoriasis lesions. Based on our findings, we would like to discuss the possible role of macrophages as the key cellular link in the complex pathophysiologic relationship between tattooing/tattoo and psoriasis. Taking into account the relationship of autophagy and psoriasis lesions, we propose the hypothesis that tattoos represent a “psoriasis-hostile” tissue environment pertained by a population of LAP active M2-polarized macrophages. Further clinical studies of the relationship of psoriasis lesions to the tattooed skin are needed and may provide important insights into the role of macrophages in the pathogenesis of psoriasis.

Observed fluctuations in auroral brightness are reported for the frequency band 0.05 < ƒ < 15 Hz from a site at 60.7° invariant latitude. Four clearly distinct frequency bands were found to exist: at 7 and 2.4 s period, and at 3 and 10 Hz. The spatial distribution of the fluctuations was studied; it is several hundred km in longitudinal extent, narrow in the evening in latitudinal extent but broadening to perhaps 200 km in the early morning, homogeneous and stationary in the sky, equatorward of discrete quiet auroral forms, and strongly responsive to the level of geomagnetic disturbance. The relationship of this fluctuating region to the recently discovered diffuse auroral belt, and the region of hard drizzle precipitation observed by a number of workers is described and discussed. The pulsation mechanism described by Coroniti and Kennel seems very plausible for the 7 and 2.4 s period pulsations.

As a typical representative of tourism resources, the spatial distribution of A-level scenic spots has a profound impact on the layout of tourism industry. Scenic spot accessibility is also important for the development of tourism. However, the relationship of regional accessibility and spatial distribution of A-level scenic spots are understudied. The study used quantitative geography and geographic information system spatial analysis methods and analyzed the evolution of spatial distribution and regional accessibility of A-level scenic spots in Guangdong Province from 2001 to 2020. The results present the following: 1. Agglomeration distribution is the main distribution type of A-level scenic spots in Guangdong Province, and the spatial distribution is unbalanced. 2. From 2001 to 2020, the spatial distribution of A-level scenic spots in 21 prefecture-level cities of Guangdong Province has gradually developed from "wide gap" to "relatively reasonable." 3. Distribution density of A-level scenic spots in Guangdong Province has evolved into the main core area of high density. 4. Center of the gravity of A-level scenic spots in Guangdong Province developed from east to west during 2002–2007 and moved to the east after 2007. 5. Accessibility between A-level scenic spots and tourist source areas in Guangdong Province is good, with an evident aggregation phenomenon. This study reveals the spatial distribution evolution law and regional accessibility of A-level scenic spots, which is conducive to healthy, sustainable, and stable development of tourism in Guangdong Province.
