Gossypol is a yellow polyphenol naturally produced by Malvaceae plants such as cotton, which mainly exists in roots, stems, leaves, and seeds of cotton. Gossypol has animal toxicity, and long-term intake of gossypol will accumulate in livestock and cause poisoning, resulting in decreased fecundity, organ lesions, and even death of animals. The cotton output in Xinjiang is huge, accounting for more than 80% of the whole country. After cotton harvest, most of the waste cotton straws are directly crushed and returned to the field, resulting in great waste of resources. Cotton straw is rich in crude protein, cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, which is equivalent to common crop straw in nutritional components. However, its gossypol content exceeded the standard, which limited the application of cotton straw feed. How to achieve efficient and low-cost detoxification of gossypol has become the key factor to determining the fodder of cotton straw. The structure, properties, toxicity, detoxification technology, and detoxification mechanism of gossypol were summarized in this paper, which provided a reference for feed utilization of cotton straw.

Objectives: Vegetation plays an important role in ecological environment monitoring. Studying vegetation cover change can provide reference for regional ecological environment protection. The region of Altay in Xinjiang belongs to the ecological function zone of water conservation mountain grassland, with rich natural resources and beautiful scenery. However， the ecological environmental problems were gradually emerging under the national development strategies. Therefore, monitoring the dynamics of vegetation change in the area with multi-source remote sensing data is necessary to explore the relationship between the economic development and ecological environment protection. Methods: This paper uses multisource remote sensing long time series data with breaks for additive seasonal and trend, topographical position and geostatistical analysis methods to monitor the vegetation cover dynamics in Altay of Xinjiang, China during 2000—2019. Results: This paper processed large number of multisource remote sensing data along with human activity data and showed that during the study period, the number of vegetation breakpoints increased year by year from 2003 to 2009, and then gradually decreased after 2009. Meanwhile, seven types of vegetation breakpoint trends were detected, among them, the more number of breakpoints from degradation to growth type was identified, and the types of disturbance degradation and continuous degradation were less. From the interannual change curve, the dynamic change of vegetation coverage showed a trend of first decreasing and then increasing, that is, the vegetation coverage showed a degradation trend from 2000 to 2008 and a significant improvement trend from 2008 to 2019, and the degradation was greater than the improvement. Meanwhile, the east slope with an elevation of more than 900 m and a slope of more than 15° (from north to east and from south to east) is the dominant topographic location of vegetation degradation type, accounting for 62.4%. Conclusions: The protection of ecological environment in Altay of Xinjiang still needs to be further strengthened and effective protection measures should be taken. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this paper is to coordinate the relationship between the spatial layout of rural residential areas and regional ecological environment and to promote the effective regulation of rural residential areas. In this study, Xinhe County, Xinjiang was taken as an example. From the ecological perspective, the minimum resistance model, gravity model, and complex network were adopted to combine landscape security pattern with social network. Based on the results of spatial analysis, the rural settlements in Xinhe County were classified into types, and respective regulation zoning strategies were proposed. The results showed that the ecological security pattern of Xinhe County demonstrated obvious spatial differentiation, with 36.91% of key reserves, 31.38% of sub-key reserves, 20.47% of general reserves, and 11.24% of non-key reserves. The central, western, and southern regions were dominated by key reserves, while the northwest and southeast regions were dominated by non-key reserves. The spatial distribution of node linkage degree is uneven, and it weakens further from the urban center to the periphery. The maximum node intensity is concentrated in the vicinity of Xinhe Town, while the minimum node intensity is distributed at the edge of each town. There were 21, 36, 51, and 18 nodes of class Ⅰ, class Ⅱ, class Ⅲ, and class Ⅳ nodes, respectively. The rural residential areas in Xinhe County were divided into four renovation types, namely key development type, potential optimization type, control model, and relocation and withdrawal type, with respective areas of 16.11, 17.55, 13.83 km², and6.32 km² ; Furthermore, according to the existing problems, the renovation zoning scheme was formulated respectively. It is concluded that incorporating ecological factors into rural residential area consolidation can provide new ideas to promote rural residential consolidation, ecological security, and territorial space planning in Xinhe County.

The name "flax" is commonly used in various historical records of ancient China, and there have been continuous debates about the specific meaning of "flax". The "flax theorists" believe that due to climate characteristics, sesame cannot be introduced and cultivated in the northwest region of China, so "flax" inevitably refers to flax with better cold resistance. This paper maintains that the term "flax" in historical literature refers to sesame rather than flax. Meanwhile, archaeological achievements in the northwest region of China indicate that sesame may have spread to Xinjiang, China through Central Asia during the pre-Qin period, and have been active in the social and economic life of the northwest region for a long time since then.

A gold — copper mine in Xinjiang is located at a high altitude. The industrial site is limited, with complex terrain and a sensitive environment. The distance between the dressing plant and the tailings pond is long and the height difference is significant. Under the conditions of simultaneous mining of upper and lower mining areas and coexistence of self-flow and pumping, to fully balance underground filling and tailings conveying and achieve green mining of mines, the paper, based on the development system, established the optimal thickening method for mine tailings filling and proposed 3 feasible solutions for the coordination of tailings conveying and filling system layout, which are compared and analyzed from multiple aspects including process flow, engineering investment, operating costs, and surface environment protection. The results show that the mine is most suitable for the deep cone thickening scheme, and the filling station is arranged at the surface of 2800 m air return audit + two-stage tailings conveying( Scheme I ), which is obviously better than Scheme II and III in terms of investment, operating costs, present value cost, and reliability. Besides, the system has high reliability and is easy to manage. The research provides solutions for the construction of tailings conveying and filling systems of the same type of mine.

Based on the grain price data in the grain price database of The Qing Dynasty edited by Mr. Wang Yejian, this paper investigates the grain price fluctuation of the 12 prefectural governments in Shaanxi during the Qianlong Dynasty. The research shows that during the reign of Emperor Qianlong, the fluctuation of grain price in Shaanxi province was mainly influenced by natural disasters, which stimulated the rise of grain price. The war was also the key factor that led to the drastic fluctuation of grain prices in Shaanxi in a short period. Especially, in the process of the qing government’s unification of Xinjiang, in order to supply military grain, shaanxi actively purchased and allocated military grain, which made the fluctuation of grain prices in Shaanxi obvious. At the same time, by using the analysis method of wheat price variation coefficient and correlation coefficient in Shaanxi during the Reign of Emperor Qianlong, it is concluded that the integration degree of north Shaanxi and Guanzhong region is high, but the integration degree of Shaanxi as a whole is low.

【Objective】The present paper aimed to explore and analyze the research on forest land resources in Emin county, Xinjiang, and provide references for realizing the temporal and spatial dynamics of forest land resources. 【Method】Based on 3S technology, using Landsat satellite remote sensing images in 1988, 1998, 2007 and 2018, the distribution of forest land resources in the past 31 years was interpreted, and the temporal and spatial dynamics of forest land were analyzed. The center of gravity migration model and the transition matrix quantitatively analyzed the mutual transfer between forest land and other types of ground objects, and expounded the driving force of natural and human factors on the temporal and spatial changes of forest land. 【Result】 (i) The woodland coverage rate in Emin county was relatively high, of which it was as high as 47.41% in 2018. In 31 years, the woodland area showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing, and the area of cultivated land and construction land showed a trend of first decreasing and then increasing. (ii) The mutual conversion of woodland, cultivated land, and bare soil was frequent, and the conversion rate continued to increase, the spatial diversion changed significantly, and the spatial dynamics of other types of ground objects tended to be stable. (iii) The location of the center of gravity of the forest land did not change significantly, and the migration was relatively weak. The substantial increase in construction land was mainly due to the conversion of forest land and cultivated land. The area of bare soil decreased, mainly transforming into cultivated land and woodland, while the increase of cultivated land area was mainly due to the transformation of forest land. (iv) The decrease in precipitation had directly led to the increasing drought of the land, and the gradual increase of bare soil and saline ground. At the same time, the area of water bodies has shown a downward trend, and the intensification of human activities has promoted the continuous expansion of construction land, and cultivated land and woodland. The conversion of bare land resources was frequent. 【Conclusion】By analyzing 31 years of dynamic changes in forest land resources, the study found that forest land resources have decreased, which has promoted the real-time update of forest land resource information.

【Objective】 Taking Aksu region in Xinjiang as the research object, the paper aimed to discuss the land use change in Aksu region in the future 2030. 【Method】The plus model was used to simulate the land use in Aksu region under three different scenarios, namely natural development scenario, economic development scenario and ecological protection scenario, revealing the future land use situation in Aksu region in 2030. Then, under the extreme development conditions of the above three scenarios, the study tried to use the mop model to put forward the sustainable development scenario, and optimized the spatial structure of multiple scenarios on the regional scale. 【Result】In the natural development scenario of Aksu region in 2030, the increase of cultivated land and bare land will be the main way of land conversion. The conversion between cultivated land, grassland, artificial surface and bare land will be the main way of land conversion under the natural development scenario. Except for the stability of shrubland and glacier, the area of forest land, grassland, wetland, water body and artificial surface will decrease. The setting of economic development scenario was to make the rapid expansion of cultivated land and artificial surface reached the goal of optimal economic benefits. Cultivated land was mainly transformed from a large number of grasslands and bare land, while the increase of artificial surface was transformed from cultivated land, bare land, grassland, forest land and water. The added value of cultivated land and artificial surface under this scenario was the first in the three simulation scenarios. The purpose of the ecological protection scenario was to protect the ecological land in Aksu region. The ecological land under this scenario had the highest added value compared with the first two scenarios. The sustainable development scenario proposed on this basis was a trade-off between the above three scenarios, that was, an optimal land use allocation scheme. 【Conclusion】The future land use pattern can not be developed only by a single indicator, and sustainable land use can only be achieved by balancing economic, ecological and other factors.

Objectives: On 8th January 2022, a large earthquake (Mw 6.7) struck Menyuan County, Qinghai, China, causing serious damage to Lanzhou-Xinjiang high speed railway and forcing the closure of the railway for repairs, which has attracted highly domestic and international attention. Methods: We presented a technical framework to determine earthquake surface ruptures by integrating optical, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) images as well as light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data, and evaluated its damage to traffic networks. Firstly, we acquired a range of datasets including GF-1, GF-7, Sentinel-2 optical images and Sentinel-1A SAR images. GF-1 and GF-7 images were used to determine the spatial distribution characteristic of the surface ruptures. Secondly, we employed to estimate 2D surface displacement fields using optical pixel offset technique. One in the east-west (EW) direction and the other in the south-north (SN) direction. SAR pixel offset technique was utilized to acquire surface displacements in the range and azimuth directions whilst interferometric SAR(InSAR) was mainly for surface displacements in the radar line of sight (i. e. the range direction). Structure from motion (SfM) was used to process UAV images to obtain high precision digital surface models (DSMs). Finally, all the abovementioned information was used to precisely determine the spatial distribution and surface displacement characteristics of the earthquake surface ruptures. Results: Our results show that the maximum surface displacement in the EW direction was about 2.0 m, the maximum in the range direction was approximately 1.5 m, and the total length of the surface ruptures was around 36.22 km. Furthermore, we performed an assessment of traffic inefficiency in Menyuan and its surrounding areas based on the distribution of historical geohazards as well as the earthquake surface ruptures using machine learning methods support vector ma‐ chine models. Conclusions: The Menyuan earthquake had the greatest impacts on highways, and the least impacts on rural roads. The southeast sections of the major highways G0611 and G338 had high risks. The technical framework demonstrated in this paper appears to be promising to precisely map surface ruptures, which in turn will directly benefit to earthquake disaster reduction.

[Objective] The present paper aimed to study the molecular characteristics, genetic structure and evolutionary mechanism of cucurbit aphid-borne yellows virus ( CABYV), in order to clarify the epidemic pattern of the virus in the field and formulate long-term sustainable prevention and control strategies which is of great significance. [ Method] 120 melon leaves suspected to be infected with CABYV were randomly collected from Aksu city, Xinjiang. RT-PCR was used to detect the virus. MEGA 7. 0 was used to construct phylogenetic tree, DnaSP vS. 10 was used to analyze the genetic diversity among different sequences, and RDP v. 4. 31 software was used to analyze the possible recombination events of CABYV sequence. [Result] As verified by RT-PCR, 38 samples were CABYV positive, and the detection rate was 31. 67%. A new CABYV-2 was isolated, sequenced and cloned from these positive samples. The length of the genome was 5497 bp, encoding six open reading frames. Compared with 23 CABYV strains isolated from different countries in NCBI database, CABYV-2 had the highest homology with KR231942. 1 and the lowest homology with JF939812. 1. The results of evolutionary tree analysis showed that 24 isolates were divided into two branchesdue to different geographical factors, including CABYV-2 and KR231942. 1 come together and belong to branch 1. The results of genetic diversity and neutral test showed that CABYV was highly variable and population was expanding. The results of recombination analysis showed that there were two recombination events, EU636992. 1 and KR231949.1, which exacerbated the variation of CABYV. [Conclusion] CABYV was isolated from Aksu, Xinjiang and KR231942. 1 from Korea had the closest genetic relationship and the farthest genetic relationship with isolates from European countries. There were great genetic differences between branch 1 and branch 2 isolates. The recombination of cabyv among different hosts intensifies the variation of CABYV recombination and negative selection may be important reasons affecting the genetic variation of CAB YV.

Objectives: The gravity variation caused by hydrometeorological factors is an important factor affecting the interpretation of seismic gravity variation results. However, quantitative analysis of gravity field changes caused by hydrometeorological factors is rarely carried out. Methods: This paper takes the northern Xinjiang, China as the research area and uses the global hydrological model data of global land data assimilation system (GLDAS) and an atmospheric model to calculate the gravity influence of hydrometeorological factors on the research area from January 2016 to December 2017. Results: The results show that the annual change of terrestrial water influence is 1.3 μGal, and the difference in spatial distribution of terrestrial water influence between two adjacent periods is lower than 1 μGal. The annual change of atmospheric influence is as high as 8 μGal, and the difference in spatial distribution of atmospheric influence between two adjacent periods is up to 6 μGal. Conclusions: The gravity variations before and after deducting hydrometeorological factors were compared using the mobile gravity measurement data of three periods, i. e., April 2016, August 2016 and June 2017. The comparison results show that in the processing of mobile gravity data in the northern Xinjiang, the large⁃scale hydrological factor can be ignored and the meteorological factor should be taken into account. Meanwhile, for a better analysis of the mobile gravity variation, soil moisture and atmospheric pressure near the measuring point should be observed during the mobile gravity measurement.

Malus sieversii(wild apple)is a well-recognized Apple Gene Pool in the world, which is the dominant species of wild fruit forests in the Tianshan Mountains. From the 1960s, the population area of M. sieversii declined sharply in Xinjiang, but the reasons are still unclear. The conservation strategies of M. sieversii are also not clear. Based on summarizing previous studies and combining field investigation, in this paper, we further analyze and discuss current situations and problems of pests, disturbance and population regeneration difficulties of M. sieversii. There are still some problems in the protection and research of M. sieversii. Firstly, the origin and evolution of M. sieversii are still divergent. Secondly, the distribution area of the M. sieversii population in Xinjiang is further shrinking, and the distribution areas of the three counties are one-third of 60 years ago. Thirdly, the pest problem of M. sieversii has been effectively controlled, but the pest prevention and monitoring system has not been fully constructed. Forthly, the issue of excessive interference of M. sieversii still exists. Farmland reclamation and human deforestation have been controlled to some extent, but overgrazing still exists. Fifthly, the M. sieversii update difficult problem is still significant, and the existing research is at the primary stage, lacking in-depth study. Given the current issues, we put forward several suggestions. Firstly, the origin and evolution of M. sieversii need to be further studied by technologies like molecular biology. Secondly, establish a monitoring system of M. sieversii resources in Xinjiang and use advanced monitoring technology to monitor the status of M. sieversii resources in Xinjiang quickly and effectively. Thirdly, to establish pest prevention and monitoring system to timely and effectively monitor and control of pest outbreaks. Forthly, develop M. sieversii natural reserve in Xinjiang, strengthen in-situ protection and legal publicity, and strengthen residents, protection on endangered plants. Fifthly, develop the researching of renewal mechanism of M. sieversii and enhance the measures of relocation protection. We put forward some solutions and suggestions to solve the existing problems, whichprovides the reference for the scientific protection and effective management of M. sieversii.

[Objective] The present paper aimed to study the crop coefficient and irrigation system of jujube with different irrigation quota under drip irrigation in the arid oasis area of Southern Xinjiang. [Method] Using the principle of water balance and penman-Monteith formula, the water consumption of jujube was calculated and the crop coefficients of jujube under different irrigation quotas were determined. Four irrigation quotas were set in the experiment, and each quota was repeated three times. [Result] When the irrigation quota was 420 m3 / 667 m², the difference between the next irrigation and this one was 0. 24%, and the soil moisture content was basically the same before the two irrigations, the consumption of jujube and the evaporation of field soil were basically equal to the irrigation water, and the irrigation water was more reasonable. The total water consumption of jujube with different irrigation quota during the growth period ranged from 598. 46 - 714. 08 mm, and the water consumption rule during the whole growth period was as follows: Germination and Spreading stage < Fruit Ripening Stage < Fruit Swelling Stage < Flowering and Fruiting Stage. Water consumption modulus 68. 36% - 72. 91 % at Flowering and Fruiting Stage and Germination and Spreading Stage. The reference crop evapotranspiration ET 0 increased first and then decreased, showing a parabolic change. The crop coefficient of Jujube was 0. 33 - 0. 39 in Germination and Spreading Stage, 0. 85 - 1. 07 in Flowering and Fruiting Stage, 0. 80 - 0. 94 in Fruit Swelling Stage and 0. 44 - 0. 47 in Fruit Ripening Stage. [Conclusion] The W2 irrigation treatment was more suitable for jujube growth and development, with the highest yield (516. 81 kg/667 m²) and the highest water use efficiency (1. 23 kg m¹). The corresponding crop coefficients were 0. 35 in the Germination and Spreading Stage, 0. 93 in the Flowering and Fruiting Stage, 0. 86 in the Fruit Swelling Stage and 0. 46 in the Fruit Ripening Stage. Considering the irrigation and yield benefit, the best irrigation system for jujube in the whole growth period was 420 m1 /667 m², with 9 irrigation times. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
