This article studies the relationship between the frequency of earthquake swarms(ML≥2.0)in different time windows and moderate-and strong-earthquakes in Southern China.After the predictive performance evaluation,we analyze the medium-and short-term,spatial,temporal characteristics of earthquake-swarm activity in South China.In addition,we discuss the seismogenic process based on the seismic activity and geophysical observation anomalies.The results show that:①The frequency of the earthquake swarms(ML≥2.0)in Southern China in 2 months is equal to or greater than 4.This frequency is the optimal indicator predicting earthquakes(MS≥5.0)in short-and medium-term.The most probable prediction period is 200 days(R=0.48,R0=0.40); ②The frequency of the swarms(ML≥2.0)in Southern China in 3 months is equal to or greater than 4.This frequency is the optimal indicator predicting earthquakes(MS≥5.0)in short- and medium-term.The most probable prediction period is 20 days(R=0.43,R0=0.34); ③The spatial distribution of active earthquake clusters has a certain indication of the epicenter of future earthquakes(MS≥5.0)in South China,but the range of seismic clusters is relatively large,so when predicting earthquakes,one should refer to other prediction methods to determine the potential earthquake location; ④The number of short-term geophysical anomalies increased proximately 8 months before the Beiliu MS5.2 earthquake and the Jingxi MS5.2 earthquake in Guangxi.The seismic swarm was active about 6 months before the two earthquakes.And small earthquakes were active approximately 3 months before the two earthquakes.Earthquake activity synchronized with the geophysical anomalies,reflecting the enhancement of the regional stress field before the two earthquakes.
