Abstract

This paper introduces the cyber infrastructure and e-Science application practices for wild birds´ monitoring and protection in Qinghai Lake region. We have been building a cyber infrastructure to support the protection and research in this area since 2006. We introduce the e-Science application practices supporting research on species identification, spatial distribution patterns analysis, and avian influenza virus cross-species infection by presenting their methods, implementation, and results. This is the first attempt in China to construct cyber infrastructure to support protection and research on wild birds in plateau area. The e-Science application practices are also the first one applied in the national nature reserve in China.
