...Saguaro Cactus The Saguaro is a giant cactus native to Mexico and Southeastern U.S. You can find the cactus almost anywhere in Southeastern California. The National Park is home to the cactus. This cactus is also found in the rocky terrain in Southern Arizona and in the Sonoran Desert. In addition, you can find them in Northwestern Mexico. The Saguaro cactus can be found on the warm south facing slopes. The cactus can live for more than 150-200 years. Some cacti grow very long arms and some never grow one at all. If the cactus does grow an arm it takes 75 years to develop. Their arms are 15-50 feet long. A 100-200 year old cactus can grow 40-60 feet tall. However, a ten year old cactus is 1.5 inches tall. The stem is 18-24 inches. Surprisingly, the spines of the cactus are two inches long. They are located on the vertical rib and are covered with waxy skin. When the cactus grows the spines reach full size in their first season. The older spines are found on the base of the cactus and the new spines are near the apex. The spines always grow from aureoles (which are holes in the cactus) .The aureoles move to the side of the apex and continue to grow upwards. The Saguaro Cactus has a great root system.

...1. Introduction The relationship between the central government and local governments in China has always been an important issue. Many people believe that the public administration of big countries has a confusing problem that in the formal system, how the policies made by senior policymakers can be implemented by adaptive agents of middle and basic levels (Lin & Liu, 2000).
