Every search result does not necessarily the same, so very many scholars have questions about the reliability of these algorithms. The hyperspectra data, including the samples from Cunninghamia Lanceolata and Pinus massoniana Lamb in their three different life stages (adults, juveniles, infancy), were analyzed by the methods of first derivative, logarithms and normalization respectively. In order to test the reliability of band selected by the PSO-SVM algorithm, the original data and preprocessed data were reduced the dimension by the PSO-SVM algorithm, and then which were classified by Support Vector Machine (SVM), BP neural network, Mahalanobis distance classification method, Fisher classification method and Bayes classification method. The results were as follows: the classification accuracy was the best and more than 90% by Fisher classification method; more than 80% by SVM and BP neural network; the accuracy by Bayes classification method was the worst and all not more than 90%, at a minimum of 43.75%. Meanwhile, during the classification of Cunninghamia Lanceolata and Pinus massoniana Lamb, comparative analysis of algorithms between PSO-SVM and PCA, shown that PSO-SVM was better than PCA. Hence, it was thought that the characteristic bands extracted by PSO-SVM could be better classified by Fisher classification method, SVM or BP neural network methods. Compared with PCA, the PSO-SVM could effectively extract the spectral characteristics, when the data had very small difference.

  The Dynamic Simulation of Transpiration in Apple Leaves 2011, 27 (31):  156-162.  Abstract + ( 1309 )   PDF ( 1629306KB )   ( 991 ) A coupled model of leaves transpiration rate (Tr) and stomatal conductance (Gs) was developed to simulate the dynamic variation of Tr in apple canopy. The model used the Penman-Monteith equation to compute the interactive effects between Tr and microclimatic factors. And Gs was caculated by the semi-mechanism model. The experiment was conducted in a ‘Fuji’ apple (Malus domestica Borkh. cv. ‘Fuji’) orchard. The parameters of the model were tested by the data observed in upper canopy from 2007 to 2008 during the growing seasons. The mathematical simulation indicated that Tr increased rapidly with increasing Ta and Ψl; but decreased with increasing air CO2 concentration. Tr consistently increased with the increase of PAR when PAR was below photosynthesis light saturation point. And only a slightly increase was found when PAR excess light saturation point. It was shown that Tr was driven mainly by stomatal conductance, the most influential factor, and vapor pressure deficit. And the influences of these factors were different and there were strong interactive effects of various microclimatic factors on Tr. During the course of 1 day, transpiration increased (decreased) as net radiation and stomatal conductance increased (decreased). Maximum transpiration rates of the upper canopy leaves were about 4 mmol/(m2?s) on clear days. Over 24 h, a unit leaves area lost 2.7 L of water in clear weather and about 1.6 L in cloudy weather. In conclusion, the response of Tr to microclimatic factors and leaf water potential (Ψl) could be simulated by the coupled model.

For the dominant weeds, their niche overlap indices > 0.50 were appeared most in spring and least in autumn，and the 3 maximum groups were between Digitaria sanguinalis and Eleusine indica (0.87) in spring, Portulaca oleracea and Amaranthus lividus (0.82), Portulaca oleracea and Eleusine indica (0.80).

  Investigation and Assessment of Soil Fertility in Montanic Orchard——A Case Study in Golden Orchard of Chongqing 2011, 27 (31):  290-295.  Abstract + ( 1305 )   PDF ( 561469KB )   ( 737 ) Fertility status in orchard soil was investigated and assessed by collection and analysis of the soil samples in 9 gardens of “Golden Orchard”, Chongqing. It was found that all of the orchard soil showed strong acidity with pH lower than 4.55, and pH decreased with the depth of soil layer increasing. Based on the classification standard of soil nutrients in the second soil investigation of China, the contents of soil organic matter, total nitrogen, available nitrogen, and available phosphorus in the surface layer soil of each garden reach moderate or mid-high level; that of total phosphorus, total potassium, and available potassium were relatively lower, and kept deficient status. The nutrient contents of orchard soil at different depths showed distinct difference, the contents at surface soil were much higher than that at 20-40 cm soil. Fertility status of the two organic fertilizers (chicken manure and seedcake) which were commonly used in “Golden Orchard” was also examined, and found that the content of organic matter in seedcake was higher than that in chicken manure, whereas the proportion of phosphorus, nitrogen, and potassium was difficult to meet the requirement of fruit trees by using the two organic fertilizers.

An inherent quality in the determination of Pyrus ussrcensis, Qian'an fruit flesh was most soft ,followed was Qinglong, Zunhua, Qianxi, Suizhong; Suizhong's content of soluble sugar was the highest, followed was Qianxi, Qian'an, Zunhua, Qinglong; Qianxi's total acid content of fruit was the lowest, followed was Qinglong, Suizhong, Qian'an, Zunhua; Zunhua's content of stone cells in Pyrus ussrcensis was the least, followed was Qianxi, Qinglong, Suizhong, Qian'an; Qianxi regional security pear fruit anthocyanin content was the highest followed was Qinglong, Qian'an, Suizhong, Zunhua; Suizhong's chlorophyll content of Pyrus ussrcensis was the highest, followed was Qinglong, Qianxi, Qian'an, Zunhua; Qian'an’s pear juice yield was the highest, followed was Suizhong, Zunhua, Qianxi, Qinglong; Zunhua's percentage of fruit pith was the smallest. Summing up, resources on quality of pear rate, Qian'an region was best in quality regional security, the Zunhua comprehensive regional quality was poor.

  Study on the Applications of the Basic Elements of Landscape Modeling in the Landscape Design 2011, 27 (31):  300-304.  Abstract + ( 1119 )   PDF ( 604114KB )   ( 1124 ) Landscape is not only an art, but also a science. On the analysis of landscape environment, the paper indicated that the basic elements of landscape modeling were composed by point, line and surface. The writer believed that the theory of plane constitution has guiding significance to landscape design, because form factor, aesthetic rules and shape language were in common between the theory of plane constitution and the basic elements of landscape modeling. For the above reasons, the writer concluded that the application characteristics and law of the basic elements of landscape modeling that used in landscape design on the basis of the quality of point, line and surface combined with the application features and techniques of the basic elements of landscape modeling.
