Reviewer 2 Report
Thank you very much for the interesting work. The present manuscript have to re-write again, for example, the structure, writing manner. Here I list some major comments an requested the authors have to carefully revised the manuscript.
1. Most of the information in the first section (Introduction) is not cited. That is a very severe problem. Details are in the attach file.
2. Line 127: Where and when did you obtain these data?
3. Line 136: more photos needed here, i.e. on the field surveys, or something.
4. Line 140: You repeat it again here with a different amount.
5. Line 145: What is the unit using here?
6. Line 193: It is difficult to see the numbers here, Bar plot is much better.
7. Line 2009: Where? because you mentioned the questionnaire survey but you never show it in the paper.
8. Line 230-248: Same to here. Bar plot or something similar is much better here
9. Line 384: Why it is here? Not in the Method section?
10. Line 430: Where is this? could not find this Table 4-3
11. The author put numbers in every single paragraph. It is weird. The writing manner here is somehow strange, it should be paragraphs without numbers.
12. Attach questionnaire forms?
