Biodiversity conservation in Changbai Mountain Biosphere Reserve, northeastern China: status, problem, and strategy (2003, background): “A study conducted in Wolong Natural Reserve, southwestern China, found that natural reserves might accelerate habitat degradation and species loss due to the high population pressure and booming tourist industry in the reserve (Liu et al. 2001).”
USING THE SPATIAL AND SPECTRAL PRECISION OF SATELLITE IMAGERY TO PREDICT WILDLIFE OCCURRENCE PATTERNS (2005, methodology): “A majority of the land is owned by state government and industry with management primarily focused on wood production.”
Rapid recovery of mammal fauna in the central Kimberley, northern Australia, following the removal of introduced herbivores. (2011, background): “Apart from examples where obvious threats like habitat loss continue unabated (e.g. Liu et al. 2001), the reasons for ongoing species declines within relatively intact landscapes (including protected areas) are harder to identify.”
Exploring Complexity in a Human–Environment System: An Agent-Based Spatial Model for Multidisciplinary and Multiscale Integration (2005, positive): “We combine two classes ‘‘highly suitable habitat’’ and ‘‘suitable habitat’’ from Liu et al. (2001) into one category, ‘‘habitat,’’ and exclude ‘‘mar-ginally suitable habitat’’ (Liu et al. 2001) in our simulation because we want to provide a conservative estimate of panda habitat.”
Quiet, Nonconsumptive Recreation Reduces Protected Area Effectiveness (2008, background): “Carnivores; human disturbance; noninvasive surveys; oak woodlands; outdoor recreation; park management; protected area planning.”
The effects of understory bamboo on broad-scale estimates of giant panda habitat (2005, methodology): “The proportion estimate is slightly lower than the population estimate from 30 years prior and may reflect the decrease in habitat over that time (Liu et al., 2001).”
Effectiveness of terrestrial protected areas in reducing habitat loss and population declines (2013, background): “For the nine studies where PAs had higher rates of habitat loss compared with the counterfactual, the difference ranged between 1.15 (Brower et al., 2002) and 3.97 (Liu et al., 2001) times higher loss.”
The Willingness to Pay for Property Rights for the Giant Panda: Can a Charismatic Species Be an Instrument for Nature Conservation? (2003, background): “decreasing frequency of nding pandas in the wild, the current number of wild pandas in the Wolong Reserve is likely to be even smaller (Liu et al. 2001).”
Divergent responses of sympatric species to livestock encroachment at fine spatiotemporal scales (2017, methodology): “Yet compared to other human activities such as hunting and logging, livestock grazing is often regarded as a low-level human disturbance and is usually not restricted, even in protected areas (Bragina et al., 2015; Liu et al., 2001).”
Modeling the spatio-temporal dynamics and interactions of households, landscapes, and giant panda habitat. (2005, methodology): “…ter understand household impacts on giant panda habi- 27 tat, we developed a model in which the interactions 28 between households, the landscape, and giant panda 29 habitat could be studied and based on the analyses pro- 30 vided practical information for conservation and man- 31 agement planning.”
Plant Biodiversity in China: Richly Varied, Endangered, and in Need of Conservation (2006, background): “Another example is the Wolong Giant Panda Reserve, which after its establishment in 1975, remains unexpectedly fragmented, with rates of habitat loss inside the reserve similar or even higher than those outside the reserve (Liu et al. 2001).”
