'Heartbroken' Wuhan farmer appeals for help
(6 Apr 2020) Lotus root farmers in Wuhan may be forced to dump 500,000 kilos of produce due to quarantine measures set in place to fight spread of the new coronavirus. Jiang Yuewu watched his crops grow and die under the lockdown. The 57-year old was unable to sell to his major clients in the megacities of Shenzhen and Guangzhou and the province of Jiangxi. "Vendors wanted to come and buy lotus roots but they couldn't make it, so we lost clients. We have nowhere to sell our lotus roots," Jiang said. Jiang rents over 20 waist-deep paddies covering more than 50 hectares northeast of Wuhan's city centre. He said the government "hasn't done anything" to help farmers like him cut off from their clients, and they've been forced to watch their crops rot. "We feel heartbroken. It's difficu...

Soil Erosion-induced CO2 flux of China - Dr YUE Yao, Wuhan University
The Institute for Energy Systems Seminar Series presents Dr YUE Yao, Lecturer from the School of Water Resources and Hydropower Engineering, Wuhan University, China. This IES Seminar took place on the22nd of January 2016 in the School of Engineering at the University of Edinburgh. Presentation Abstract: Soil erosion by water impacts soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks and alters CO2 fluxes exchanged with the atmosphere at landscape and regional scale. The role of erosion as a net sink or source of atmospheric CO2 remains highly debated, and little information is available at scales larger than points for a few small catchments. This study is a first attempt to quantify the lateral transport of soil carbon and consequent land-atmosphere CO2 fluxes at the scale of China where severe erosion ha...

Wuhan vegetable sellers resume business behind barriers
(3 Apr 2020) Wuhan's vegetable vendors are continuing to adjust to life at the epicenter of the new coronavirus outbreak, on Friday resuming their business behind large yellow barriers. Along with other areas in Minyi residential compound, the Minyi market, which used to offer fresh vegetables, meat, and other staples, has been blocked by tall barriers, with several chairs and stools on the other side for customers. Vegetable vendor Xie Lianning is one of those operating behind the barriers, picking vegetables up from a supermarket in another community early in the morning, and driving her cart into the Minyi community after undergoing checks for infection. "We have no choices. There are old and young in my family depending on us. We have a heavy financial burden and we have no choi...

He said the government "hasn't done anything" to help farmers like him cut off from their clients, and they've been forced to watch their crops rot.
"We feel heartbroken. It's difficult for us to accept the reality."
Each year, lotus farmers plant seeds in April, around the annual Qingming Festival, and harvest from June until January.
The harvest is usually sold out by the end of February, but this year, half are still floating in the paddies.
If no customers come, Jiang will throw them away.
Lotus roots sell for about a 50 US cents for a pound, or 2 RMB for a kilo.
Days before the city is set to lift travel restrictions, Jiang and his son and son-in-law are planting lotus roots in hopes to get back in business.
"We are trying everything we can to cute our losses. If we don't do our best now, in the second half the year we will barely survive."

The Institute for Energy Systems Seminar Series presents Dr YUE Yao, Lecturer from the School of Water Resources and Hydropower Engineering, Wuhan University, China.
This IES Seminar took place on the22nd of January 2016 in the School of Engineering at the University of Edinburgh.
Presentation Abstract:
Soil erosion by water impacts soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks and alters CO2 fluxes exchanged with the atmosphere at landscape and regional scale. The role of erosion as a net sink or source of atmospheric CO2 remains highly debated, and little information is available at scales larger than points for a few small catchments. This study is a first attempt to quantify the lateral transport of soil carbon and consequent land-atmosphere CO2 fluxes at the scale of China where severe erosion has been experienced for several decades. Based on the distribution of soil erosion rates derived from detailed national surveys and soil carbon inventories, here we show that water erosion in China displaced 180 ± 80 Mt C yr-1 of SOC during the last 20 years. Consequently, the net land-atmosphere CO2 flux is estimated to be a net CO2 sink of 45 ± 25 Mt C yr-1, which is equivalent to 8–37 % of the terrestrial carbon sink previously assessed in China.
Presenters Bio:
Dr YUE Yao is a lecturer from the School of Water Resources and Hydro-power Engineering, Wuhan University, China, and now is currently working with Prof. Alistair Borthwick as an Academic Visitor. She received her PhD in the Department of Environmental Engineering, Peking University, China. I am now involved in the project of “All Material River Fluxes of China” co-organized by Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Ministry of Water Resources, P.R. China.

Wuhan vegetable sellers resume business behind barriers

(3 Apr 2020) Wuhan's vegetable vendors are continuing to adjust to life at the epicenter of the new coronavirus outbreak, on Friday resuming their business behind large yellow barriers.
Along with other areas in Minyi residential compound, the Minyi market, which used to offer fresh vegetables, meat, and other staples, has been blocked by tall barriers, with several chairs and stools on the other side for customers.
Vegetable vendor Xie Lianning is one of those operating behind the barriers, picking vegetables up from a supermarket in another community early in the morning, and driving her cart into the Minyi community after undergoing checks for infection.
"We have no choices. There are old and young in my family depending on us. We have a heavy financial burden and we have no choices", Xie said.
After Wuhan's government enforced tight quarantine measure on all residential compounds, communities have taken charge of purchasing and delivering daily essentials to residents.
60-year-old Zhan Zhongwu, wearing two layers of masks, came Friday morning from a community nearby to buy pork for his wife and grandchild.
"I don't feel safe going to a supermarket," said Zhan, "There are too many people. Many infections happened in the supermarket. We should try not to go to places with too many people. Safety is priority."
While Wuhan hasn't reported any new infections for a week, officials said it must go a full 14 consecutive days without new cases before they lift travel restrictions and social distancing demands.
The region has suffered 2,563 deaths from the new virus, accounting for about 80% of China's total fatalities.
The new coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms for most people.
For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness or death.
