Revisiting the physical mechanisms of East Asian summer monsoon precipitation changes during the mid-Holocene: a data–model comparison - Yong Sun; Haibin Wu; Gilles Ramstein; Bo Liu; Yan Zhao; Laurent Li; Xiayu Yuan; Wenchao Zhang; Lijuan Li; Liwei Zou; Tianjun Zhou (Climate Dynamics, 2023)
The mid-Holocene (MH; 6 ka) is one of the benchmark periods for the Paleoclimate Modeling Intercomparison Project (PMIP) and provides a unique opportunity to study monsoon dynamics and orbital forcing (i.e., mostly precession) that differ significantly from the present day. We conducted a data–model comparison along with a dynamic analysis to investigate monsoonal (i.e., East Asian summer monsoon; EASM) precipitation changes over East Asia during the MH. We used the three phases of the PMIP simulations for the MH, and quantitatively compare model results with pollen-based climate records. The data–model comparison shows an overall increase in the summer monsoon precipitation, except a local decrease during the MH. Decomposition of the moisture budget into thermodynamic and dynamic components allows us to assess their relative role in controlling EASM precipitation during the MH, and to investigate the precipitation changes obtained from pollen records in terms of physical processes. We show that the dynamic effect, rather than the thermodynamic effect, is the dominant control in increased EASM precipitation during the MH in both the proxy records and models. The dynamic increase in precipitation results mainly from the enhancement of horizontal monsoonal moisture transport that is caused by intensified stationary eddy horizontal circulation over East Asia. In addition, a cloud-related cooling effect reduced the thermodynamic contribution to the increase in EASM precipitation during the MH.

Low soil moisture suppresses the thermal compensatory response of microbial respiration - Jin‐Tao Li; Yan Zhang; Hongyang Chen; Huiming Sun; Weitao Tian; Jinquan Li; Xiang Liu; Shurong Zhou; Changming Fang; Bo Li; Ming Nie (Global Change Biology, 2023)
The thermal compensatory response of microbial respiration contributes to a decrease in warming‐induced enhancement of soil respiration over time, which could weaken the positive feedback between the carbon cycle and climate warming. Climate warming is also predicted to cause a worldwide decrease in soil moisture, which has an effect on the microbial metabolism of soil carbon. However, whether and how changes in moisture affect the thermal compensatory response of microbial respiration are unexplored. Here, using soils from an 8‐year warming experiment in an alpine grassland, we assayed the thermal response of microbial respiration rates at different soil moisture levels. The results showed that relatively low soil moisture suppressed the thermal compensatory response of microbial respiration, leading to an enhanced response to warming. A subsequent moisture incubation experiment involving off‐plot soils also showed that the response of microbial respiration to 100 d warming shifted from a slight compensatory response to an enhanced response with decreasing incubation moisture. Further analysis revealed that such respiration regulation by moisture was associated with shifts in enzymatic activities and carbon use efficiency. Our findings suggest that future drought induced by climate warming might weaken the thermal compensatory capacity of microbial respiration, with important consequences for carbon–climate feedback.

Biogeographical patterns of abundant and rare bacterial biospheres in paddy soils across East Asia - Lu Luan; Guangping Shi; Guofan Zhu; Jie Zheng; Jianbo Fan; Francisco Dini‐Andreote; Bo Sun; Yuji Jiang (Environmental Microbiology, 2023)
Soil bacterial communities play fundamental roles in ecosystem functioning and often display a skewed distribution of abundant and rare taxa. So far, relatively little is known about the biogeographical patterns and mechanisms structuring the assembly of abundant and rare biospheres of soil bacterial communities. Here, we studied the geographical distribution of different bacterial sub‐communities by examining the relative influence of environmental selection and dispersal limitation on taxa distributions in paddy soils across East Asia. Our results indicated that the geographical patterns of four different bacterial sub‐communities consistently displayed significant distance–decay relationships (DDRs). In addition, we found niche breadth and dispersal rates to significantly explain differences in community assembly of abundant and rare taxa, directly affecting the strength of DDRs. While conditionally rare and abundant taxa displayed the strongest DDR due to higher environmental filtering and dispersal limitation, moderate taxa sub‐communities had the weakest DDR due to greater environmental tolerance and dispersal rate. Random forest models indicated that soil pH (9.13%–49.78%) and average annual air temperature (16.59%–46.49%) were the most important predictors of the variation in the bacterial community. This study advances our understanding of the intrinsic links between fundamental ecological processes and microbial biogeographical patterns in paddy soils.

The effects and paths of regional industrial structure transformation on the fluctuation and quality of the marine fisheries economy in China - Bo Wang; Haiting Li; Pengyi Sun; Shaofeng Zhang; Hongzhi Zhang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
Industrial structure adjustment is an important component of China’s supply-side structural reforms. This study examines the effect and action path of regional industrial structure transformation, through the lens of advancement and rationalization, on the economic fluctuation and quality of the marine fishery industry. The results show that regional industrial structure advancement (rationalization) promotes (reduces) economic fluctuation. Regarding the action paths, regional industrial structure advancement (rationalization) has a U-shaped (inverted U-shaped) relationship with economic quality. The regional industrial structure advancement level is greater than 5.108 in China’s coastal areas and on the right side of the U shape. Thus, the evolution of the industrial structure in these areas is conducive to improving the economic quality of marine fisheries. Meanwhile, The degree of regional industrial structure rationalization has not reached the optimum level, and most areas are far from optimum level. This suggests that the structural dividends from industrial structure rationalization not fully released and need further regulation. In terms of the overall effect, regional industrial structure transformation can cause economic fluctuations in marine fisheries, with the main force originating from industrial structure advancement. The path of regional industrial structure transformation affecting economic quality of marine fisheries is non-linear. At present, the industrial structure advancement transformation can improve economic quality, but the industrial structure rationalization needs to be further adjusted.

Interdecadal variation in atmospheric water vapour content over East Asia during winter and the relationship with autumn Arctic sea ice - Wenyue He; Bo Sun; Jiehua Ma; Huijun Wang (International Journal of Climatology, 2022)
This study focused on the interdecadal variability in water vapour content (WVC) over East Asia during winter and its associated mechanisms. The interdecadal variation in the WVC over East Asia during winter was investigated using the empirical orthogonal function (EOF) method. The leading mode (EOF1, explained variance is 52.7%) of interdecadal variability in the WVC, which explains most of the interdecadal variation, exhibits a monopole pattern characterized by consistent WVC anomalies over East Asia. The mechanisms associated with the interdecadal variability in winter WVC over East Asia were further investigated, and it was found that the interdecadal variability in winter WVC over East Asia is modulated by three water vapour transport (WVT) branches from the eastern, western, and southern boundaries of East Asia that are associated with Eurasian winter circulation. Further analyses revealed that increased sea ice concentration over the Barents‐Kara Sea (SIC‐BKS) in October–November (ON) serves as the source of wave activity flux and stimulates a stationary wave train along the Eurasian continent to change the downstream atmospheric circulation. As a response, an abnormal cyclone, an abnormal anticyclone, and an abnormal cyclone are triggered over western Siberia, the northern area of East Asia, and the southern area of East Asia, which are together favourable for WVC sufficiency over East Asia. Sensitivity experiments by the Community Atmosphere Model, version 4 (CAM4) using sea ice forcing in the Barents Sea yield similar results to the observed data, further confirming our conclusion. Therefore, the SIC‐BKS in ON may be an important potential predictor for the interdecadal variability in winter WVC over East Asia.

Improving the CFSv2 prediction of the Indian Ocean Dipole based on a physical‐empirical model and a deep‐learning approach - Ping Chen; Bo Sun; Huijun Wang; Lianmei Yang (International Journal of Climatology, 2022)
Despite significant advances in seasonal climate forecasts, the reliability of both dynamical and empirical models for the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) prediction is still limited to a lead time of one season or less. In this study, the skill of the NCEP Climate Forecast System version 2 (CFSv2) for the IOD prediction during the period 1982–2014 is evaluated. The results indicate that the model performance for the IOD prediction is the worst in spring among the four seasons, which is manifested in the fact that a skilful prediction of spring IOD event is limited to a lead time of only about 1–2 months. To improve the forecast of spring IOD events, a physical‐empirical (PE) model and a convolutional neural network (CNN) model are established in the present study. The IOD in April–May–June (AMJ) is taken as the predictand, and the CFSv2‐predicted sea surface height (SSH) in AMJ and the observed Laptev sea ice in the preceding December are used as the two predictors. The original CFSv2‐predicted IOD time series has an insignificant correlation with the observed IOD time series with a temporal correlation coefficient (TCC) of 0.03; the PE model (CNN model) can largely improve the IOD prediction with a TCC of 0.74 (0.77) between the PE‐model‐predicted (CNN‐model‐predicted) IOD and the observed IOD during AMJ. Thus, the PE model and the CNN model developed in the present study can be applied to improve the IOD predictions from numerical models in the future.

Response adaptive mechanisms of three mangrove (Avicennia marina, Aegiceras corniculatum, and Bruguiera gymnorrhiza) plants to waterlogging stress revealed by transcriptome analysis - Bo-Yu Su; You-Shao Wang; Cui-Ci Sun (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Distributed in different elevations of the intertidal zone, mangrove plants suffer different periods of flooding, and with varied adaptability to waterlogging from the physiological structure to the metabolic mechanism. Associated with species distribution, transcriptome sequencing was performed to explore the interspecific differences of molecular response mechanisms among Avicennia marina , Aegiceras corniculatum , and Bruguiera gymnorrhiza under waterlogging stress. Results showed that the counts of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in A. Marina were the highest after stress, followed by Ae. corniculatum and B. gymnorrhiza . It was found that the functions of genes with high differential expression folds (more than eight folds) in the three plants could be classified into four categories: structural regulation, transport, biosynthesis, and protection. It was also found that A. Marina has strong regulation ability in the metabolic process, which can guarantee energy supply and maintain active biosynthesis under waterlogging conditions. In addition, A. Marina was activated in the ethylene synthesis pathway to promote aerenchyma formation and to avoid root tissue hypoxia. Being different from A. Marina and B. gymnorrhiza , Ae. corniculatum down-regulated the XET , SAMS , and ACCO genes, which were involved in the cell wall regulation or ethylene formation that might indicate a different adaptive mechanism. Alcohol dehydrogenase ( ADH ) and lactate dehydrogenase ( LDH ) were cloned from A. Marina , Ae. corniculatum , and B. gymnorrhiza . The cloned genes were named as AmADH , AmLDH , AcADH , AcLDH , BgADH , and BgLDH , respectively. qRT-PCR detection verified that LDH s and ADH s were involved in the response of mangrove plants to waterlogging stress, and interspecific difference was observed. The expressions of AcADH and AcLDH were the most prominent. Combined with transcriptome, it was considered that Ae. corniculatum was more dependent on the expression of AcADH and AcLDH that might compensate the weakness of cell wall regulation, whereas A. Marina was more dependent on the regulation of cell structure reversely.

Research on Maneuverability Prediction of Double Waterjet Propulsion High Speed Planing Craft - Hua-Wei Sun; Jing-Lei Yang; Bo Liu; Hong-Wei Li; Jia-Feng Xiao; Han-Bing Sun (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
A mathematical model for predicting the maneuvering motion of a ship is constructed, using a planing craft with dual waterjet propulsion as the object of study. This model is based on the standard approach of the MMG (Maneuvering Modeling Group) and uses the Runge–Kutta algorithm to solve the differential equations. For the simulation of the turning and Z-shape maneuvering motion, the RANS equation is first solved using the program STAR-CCM + and then the PMM motion of the hull is simulated using the overlapping grid approach to derive the hydrodynamic derivative. The established method for predicting the ship’s maneuverability is feasible, as shown by the calculated results, which agree well with those obtained using data from the sea trials. This method was used to simulate the rudder rotation and Z-shape motion of the planing craft at medium and high speeds to predict the maneuverability index.

Focal-type, but not Diffuse-type, Amyloid Beta Plaques are Correlated with Alzheimer’s Neuropathology, Cognitive Dysfunction, and Neuroinflammation in the Human Hippocampus - Fan Liu; Jianru Sun; Xue Wang; Sixuan Jin; Fengrun Sun; Tao Wang; Bo Yuan; Wenying Qiu; Chao Ma (Neuroscience Bulletin, 2022)
Amyloid beta (Aβ) plaques are one of the hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, currently available anti-amyloid therapies fail to show effectiveness in the treatment of AD in humans. It has been found that there are different types of Aβ plaque (diffuse and focal types) in the postmortem human brain. In this study, we aimed to investigate the correlations among different types of Aβ plaque and AD-related neuropathological and cognitive changes based on a postmortem human brain bank in China. The results indicated that focal plaques, but not diffuse plaques, significantly increased with age in the human hippocampus. We also found that the number of focal plaques was positively correlated with the severity of AD-related neuropathological changes (measured by the “ABC” scoring system) and cognitive decline (measured by the Everyday Cognitive Insider Questionnaire). Furthermore, most of the focal plaques were co-localized with neuritic plaques (identified by Bielschowsky silver staining) and accompanied by microglial and other inflammatory cells. Our findings suggest the potential of using focal-type but not general Aβ plaques as biomarkers for the neuropathological evaluation of AD.

Racial Differences in Left Ventricular Filling Pressure Following Acute Aerobic Exercise Between Chinese and Caucasians - Peng Sun; Huimin Yan; Sushant M. Ranadive; Abbi D. Lane; Rebecca M. Kappus; Tracy Baynard; Xiaodan Sun; Shichang Li; Bo Fernhall (Journal of Science in Sport and Exercise, 2022)
Background Left ventricular filling pressure (LVFP) is an important early indicator of heart failure that is more prevalent in Caucasians than Chinese. Exercise-induced change in LVFP may provide more incremental information to assess diastolic function. But it was unknown whether there was difference in LVFP following acute exercise between Caucasians and Chinese. Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate the change of LVFP following an acute 45-min aerobic exercise in healthy Caucasian and Chinese individuals. Methods Sixty participants (30 Caucasians and 30 Chinese, half was male, respectively) performed an acute bout of aerobic exercise at 70% of heart rate reserve. Hemodynamics, Left ventricle (LV) morphology and function parameters were measured at baseline, then at 30-min and 60-min post-exercise. Results There was a similar LV ejection fraction, LV fraction shorten, lateral E / e ʹ and lateral e ʹ between Chinese and Caucasians at baseline. There was a significant race-by-time interaction in lateral E / e ʹ and lateral e ʹ between Chinese and Caucasians from pre-exercise to 30 min and 60 min after acute aerobic exercise. The Δ E / e ʹ was significant correlated with baseline systolic blood pressure. Conclusion The change of LVFP was different between Chinese and Caucasians following acute aerobic exercise. The racial differences may be primarily caused by the changes of LV relaxation following exercise, baseline systolic blood pressure may also contribute to the differences.

Experimental investigation of the anchoring properties of special-shaped cross-section self-drilling bolts - Ningbo Peng; Jie Hong; Yun Dong; Jiarui Chen; Ye Zhu; Bo Sun (Arabian Journal of Geosciences, 2022)
This paper designed a special-shaped cross-section hollow self-drilling bolt with discharge grooves, in which Mindlin’s solution of displacement was used in the elastic solution of a wholly grouted bolt. Theoretically, the ultimate pulling force and the residual pulling force were analyzed by considering the average distribution assumption of residual stress. The bolts’ performance with 2, 3, and 4 discharge grooves was compared with circular cross-section bolts, which experimental results are consistent with the theoretical results. The ultimate pulling force and the residual pulling force of the special-shaped cross-section bolt improved significantly according to the circular bolt. The bonding properties of special-shaped cross-section bolts present significant difference to circular section bolts. The residual pulling strength was contributed both by the bar-grout and grout-grout frictions. Upgrading the grout strength may further enhance the pulling strength of special-shaped cross-section bolts.

Variability in the Carbon and Nitrogen Uptake Rates of Phytoplankton Associated With Wind Speed and Direction in the Marian Cove, Antarctica - Bo Kyung Kim; Misa Jeon; Sang-Jong Park; Hyun-Cheol Kim; Jun-Oh Min; Jisoo Park; Sun-Yong Ha (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Quantifying the temporal variability in phytoplankton productivity is essential for improving our understanding of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) dynamics and energy flows in natural aquatic ecosystems. Samples were collected at three-day intervals from December 2018 to January 2019 from fixed station in Marian Cove, Antarctica to determine the C and N (NO 3 - and NH 4 + ) uptake by phytoplankton. Considerable fluctuations in the total C and N productivities were observed, which led to dynamic changes in the phytoplankton communities and a stronger coupling between the phytoplankton biomass. The increased rate of NO 3 - uptake coincided with an enhanced C uptake mainly by microphytoplankton (>20 µm), followed by an increase in NH 4 + uptake towards the end of sampling period. However, the <2 µm fraction (picophytoplankton) showed little variation in C and NO 3 - uptake, and the proportions of assimilated NH 4 + contributed to more than half of the total assimilated inorganic N. The increased NH 4 + did not increase the total phytoplankton biomass and C production. Interestingly, after January 9 (maximum chlorophyll a, C, and N uptake) there was a shift to a predominantly easterly wind (>6 m s -1 ), which rapidly decreased the total chl-a, C and N uptake rate to ~4% of the highest values (0.6 mg m -3 , 1.0 mg C m -3 h -1 , 0.1 mg N m -3 h -1 , respectively) on January 12. The phytoplankton community was also replaced by neritic and ice-related species. These findings suggest that strong temporal shifts in phytoplankton C and N assimilation are strongly influenced by external forces (wind stress).

Mercury bioremediation by engineered Pseudomonas putida KT2440 with adaptationally optimized biosecurity circuit - Yubin Xue; Tianlei Qiu; Zhi Sun; Feixia Liu; Bo Yu (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
Summary Hazardous materials, such as heavy metals, are the major sources of health risk. Using genetically modified organisms (GMOs) to dispose heavy metals has the advantages of strong environmental compatibility and high efficiency. However, the biosecurity of GMOs used in the environment is a major concern. In this study, a self‐controlled genetic circuit was designed and carefully fine‐tuned for programmable expression in Pseudomonas putida KT2440, which is a widely used strain for environmental bioremediation. The cell behaviours were controlled by automatically sensing the variation of Hg 2+ concentration without any inducer requirement or manual interventions. More than 98% Hg 2+ was adsorbed by the engineered strain with a high cell recovery rate of 96% from waterbody. The remaining cells were killed by the suicide module after the mission was accomplished. The escape frequency of the engineered P . putida strain was lower than 10 −9 , which meets the recommendation of US NIH guideline for GMOs release ( −8 ). The same performance was achieved in a model experiment by using natural lake water with addition of Hg 2+ . The microbial diversity analysis further confirmed that the remediation process made little impact on the indigenous ecosystem. Thus, this study provides a practical method for environmental remediation by using GMOs.

Sandstorms cause shrinkage of Haloxylon ammodendron shrubs and limit their self-renewal - Sheng-bo Shi; Dang-wei Zhou; Fang-lin Wang; Rui Shi; Tao Sun; Tian-cai Li; Jia-lin Ma; Xiang Wan; Jian-ping Ma; Jing-nian Tang (Theoretical and Experimental Plant Physiology, 2022)
Haloxylon ammodendron is an excellent windproof and sand-fixing species whose shrubs are widely cultivated in arid desert areas of northwest China but are now at risk of degradation and shrinkage. Using the chlorophyll fluorescence image analysis technique, the response of photosystem II (PSII) photochemical efficiency and non-photochemical quenching capacity to sediment-carrying wind and sand-free wind (both 12 m s −1 ) lasting for 10, 20, and 40 min were studied with seedlings in a wind tunnel. The results indicated that the sand-free wind had little influence on the maximum quantum efficiency of PSII photochemistry, F v / F m , which was approximately 0.80 on average; however, the F v / F m decreased over exposure time in the sediment-carrying wind group, with values smaller than those in the wind-only group. The non-photochemical quenching was sensitive to wind erosion, and sediment-carrying wind could aggravate the reduction in non-photochemical quenching ( NPQ ). Except for the 10 min duration, the maximum quantum efficiency of PSII photochemistry after dark recovery for 15 min, F v r / F m r , was lower in seedlings exposed to sediment-carrying wind than in those in the wind-only group. Compared to wind-only, wind-blown sand led to a water imbalance and withering in seedlings, causing the concentration of photosynthetic pigments (when based on the fresh mass of green branches) to not decrease. With a longer exposure time to sediment-carrying wind, both the probability and extent of lignified spots occurring increased in green assimilative branches. Our results demonstrated that sediment-carrying wind at 12 m s −1 lasting for 20 min or more could cause irreversible damage to the photosynthetic apparatus of H. ammodendron seedlings. Therefore, frequent and strong sandstorms are the main disturbance factors leading to shrinkage of shrubs and limiting their self-renewal.

A SOM−RBFnn-Based Calibration Algorithm of Modeled Significant Wave Height for Nearshore Areas - Hengyu Hu; Zhengwei He; Yanfang Ling; Junmin Li; Lu Sun; Bo Li; Junliang Liu; Wuyang Chen (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
In this paper, a calibration algorithm for forecasting the significant wave height (SWH) in nearshore areas is proposed, based on artificial neural networks. The algorithm has two features: first, it is based on SOM−BRFnn (self−organizing map–radial basis function neural network) to better reflect the clustering characteristics of the input parameters regarding wind and wave. In addition, the high-frequency variation part and the low-frequency variation part of SWH are separated by a threshold of 24 h to better describe the diurnal variation of SWH under the influence of tidal current. The algorithm is applied to the nearshore region of Nan-ao Island in the northeastern South China Sea. The results show that the algorithm can effectively correct the modeling results of nearshore SWH. Compared with the original outputs of the ERA5 model, the correlation coefficient is increased from 0.472 to 0.774, the root mean square error is reduced from 0.252 m to 0.103 m, and the mean relative error is reduced from 41% to 17.6%, respectively. Further analysis indicates that the frequency division is crucial in realizing the correction of the high-frequency variation of SWH. The results have reference significance for the application of wave numerical models in coastal areas.

Counter-rotating eddy pair in the Luzon Strait - Ruili Sun; Peiliang Li; Yanzhen Gu; Fangguo Zhai; Yunwei Yan; Bo Li; Yang Zhang (Ocean Science, 2022)
Based on satellite remote-sensing observation data and Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model (HYCOM) re-analysis data, we studied the counter-rotating eddy pair in the Luzon Strait (LS). Statistical analysis reveals that when an anti-cyclonic mesoscale eddy (AE) (cyclonic mesoscale eddy [CE]) in the Northwest Pacific (NWP) gradually approaches the east side of the LS, a CE (an AE) gradually forms on the west side of the LS, and it is defined as the AE (CE) mode of the counter-rotating eddy pair in the LS. The counter-rotating eddy pair exhibits obvious seasonal variation: the AE mode mainly occurs in the summer half of the year, while the CE mode mainly occurs in the winter half of the year. The mean durations of the AE and CE modes are both approximately 70 d. Based on the vorticity budget equation and energy analysis, the dynamic mechanism of counter-rotating eddy-pair occurrence is determined to be as follows: the AE (CE) on the east side of the LS causes a positive (negative) vorticity anomaly through horizontal velocity shear on the west side of the LS, and the positive (negative) vorticity anomaly is transported westward by the zonal advection of the vorticity, finally leading to the formation of the CE (AE) on the west side of the LS.

Coupled Simulation of Hydrate-Bearing and Overburden Sedimentary Layers to Study Hydrate Dissociation and Methane Leakage - Yan Xie; Jingchun Feng; Liwei Sun; Junwen Wang; Weiqiang Hu; Bo Peng; Yujun Wang; Yi Wang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Methane leakage during natural gas hydrate (NGH) exploitation is one of the important challenges restricting its safe development, which necessitates further investigation. However, only a few experimental studies have been conducted to characterize the relationship between methane (CH4) leakage and NGH exploitation. The CH4 leakage mechanism and controlling factors in the hydrate dissociation process are still unclear. A coupled simulator has been developed to study the CH4 hydrate exploitation and the possible leakage of CH4. The new system overcomes the difficulty of constructing hydrate-free overlying strata and seawater in previous studies and can simulate the in situ natural environment containing hydrate reservoirs, overlying strata and overlying seawater as well. In addition, the simulator integrates the spatial distribution of temperature, pressure and electric resistance in hydrate reservoir systems, and allows for the visual monitoring of the overlying strata and the sampling of overburden gas and liquids. The effectiveness of the coupled simulations was verified through experimental testing. The coupled simulations allowed for the characterization of the CH4 leakage mechanism and can be used to develop safe strategies for NGH exploitation.

Leaching Remediation of Dredged Marine Sediments Contaminated with Heavy Metals - Zhaowei Wang; Bo Li; Yuanshu Sun; Wenchao Yang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
There are more than 150 ports in China and a considerable proportion of dredged sediments in ports and waterways are contaminated with heavy metals as the typical contaminants. It is mandatory to remediate the contaminated dredged sediments prior to further resource utilization. The over-arching objective of this study was to use natural organic acids (oxalic acid, citric acid, tartaric acid, and malic acid) as leaching agents to remove heavy metals (Cu, Cd, and Pb) from contaminated dredged sediments. Batch experiments were conducted to investigate the factors governing the removal rate of heavy metals and leaching kinetics. Citric acid had the best leaching effect on heavy metals Cu, Cd, and Pb with an optimal leaching concentration of 20 mmol/L and a solid-to-liquid ratio of 1:20. The average removal rates of Cu, Cd, and Pb were 85%, 73%, 56%, and 35% for citric acid, malic acid, tartaric acid, and oxalic acid, respectively. The leaching kinetics showed that the removal of heavy metals increased rapidly with time and then gradually reached the maximum value which was best described by the Elovich equation model. The outcomes of this study suggest that citric acid is an effective and environmentally friendly leaching agent for removing heavy metals from marine dredged sediments.

A novel microRNA regulates cooperation between symbiont and a laterally acquired gene in the regulation of pantothenate biosynthesis within Bemisia tabaci whiteflies - Xiang Sun; Bing‐Qi Liu; Chu‐Qiao Li; Zhan‐Bo Chen; Xiao‐Rui Xu; Jun‐Bo Luan (Molecular Ecology, 2022)
Horizontally transferred genes (HTGs) play a key role in animal symbiosis, and some horizontally transferred genes or proteins are highly expressed in specialized host cells (bacteriocytes). However, it is not clear how HTGs are regulated, but microRNAs (miRNAs) are prime candidates given their previously demonstrated roles in symbiosis and impacts on the expression of host genes. A horizontally acquired PanBC that is highly expressed in whitefly bacteriocytes can cooperate with an obligate symbiont Portiera for pantothenate production, facilitating whitefly performance and Portiera titre. Here, we found that a whitefly miRNA, novel‐m0780‐5p, was up‐regulated and its target panBC was down‐regulated in Portiera ‐eliminated whiteflies. This miRNA was located in the cytoplasmic region of whitefly bacteriocytes. Injection of novel‐m0780‐5p agomir reduced the expression of PanBC in whitefly bacteriocytes, while injection of novel‐m0780‐5p antagomir enhanced PanBC expression. Agomir injection also reduced the pantothenate level, Portiera titre and whitefly performance. Supplementation with pantothenate restored Portiera titre and the fitness of agomir‐injected whiteflies. Thus, we demonstrate that a whitefly miRNA regulates panBC ‐mediated host–symbiont collaboration required for pantothenate synthesis, benefiting the whitefly– Portiera symbiosis. Both panBC and novel‐m0780‐5p are present in the genomes of six Bemisia tabaci species. The expression of a novel miRNA in multiple B . tabaci species suggests that the miRNA evolved after panBC acquisition, and allowed this gene to be more tightly regulated. Our discovery provides the first account of a HTG being regulated by a miRNA from the host genome, and suggests key roles for interactions between miRNAs and HTGs in the functioning of symbiosis.

Distribution of the Mesozooplankton Community in the Western Ross Sea Region Marine Protected Area During Late Summer Bloom - Sung Hoon Kim; Bo Kyung Kim; Boyeon Lee; Wuju Son; Naeun Jo; Junbeom Lee; Sang Heon Lee; Sun-Yong Ha; Jeong-Hoon Kim; Hyoung Sul La (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The spatio-temporal distributions of the epipelagic mesozooplankton community in the western Ross Sea region marine protected area (RSR MPA) were investigated. Mesozooplankton surveys were conducted in February 2018, January 2019, and March 2020 from an approximate depth of 200 m to address the essential environmental factors influencing the mesozooplankton community structure. Our results showed that the mesozooplankton community of the western RSR MPA could be affected by the various ecological factors, depending on their temporal and spatial variations. The community structure in 2018 was distinguished by its chlorophyll- a (Chl- a ) concentration during the summer bloom phase in the late summer. Taxa observed in 2019 were divided into four significantly different groups according to the body size of the community composition. This differentiation could be derived from predation pressure, inducing a trophic cascade. Taxa in the 2020 samples were separated into five different groups based on temperature; during the 2020 survey, the water temperature was low and sea ice covered the whole continental shelf in the Ross Sea. Additionally, comparing the results from the three interannual surveys, although the communities clustered according to the survey period, the continental shelf groups were quite dissimilar despite overlapping geographically. Taken all together, the mesozooplankton community of the western RSR MPA changed according to changes in several ecological factors, such as temperature, Chl- a concentration, and predation pressure. The occurrence of summer blooms and the decline in water temperature mainly regulated the mesozooplankton community structure in the late summer.

Decadal Response of Mesozooplankton Assemblages to Nutrient Load Reductions in Laizhou Bay, China - Huichao Jiang; Dongyan Liu; Yuanqing Ma; Bo Su; Ning Liu; Juan Zhang; Jianlong He; Huawei Qin; Xiukai Song; Shan Sun; Hongyan Xing (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Reducing nutrient loads from catchments is an important strategy to mitigate coastal eutrophication. The decadal responses of ecosystems to nutrient load reductions can help us understand the effectiveness of environmental restoration. Here, the cascading trophic interactions of mesozooplankton and phytoplankton in Laizhou Bay were analyzed to examine the effects of nutrient load reductions from rivers during 2004–2014. The results showed that the diversity of the mesozooplankton assemblages and the proportion of higher trophic species increased after nutrient load reductions, and mesozooplankton abundance showed an obviously decreasing annual trend. A significantly positive correlation between mesozooplankton and phytoplankton abundance was identified for August. Mesozooplankton abundance was mainly influenced by phytoplankton abundance in August, but by microzooplankton prey or jellyfish predators in May when phytoplankton abundance was low. This result indicates that the recovery of mesozooplankton assemblages in Laizhou Bay is a slow process after nutrient load reductions and might have cascading trophic interactions with phytoplankton recovery.

Thermal adaptation occurs in the respiration and growth of widely distributed bacteria - Weitao Tian; Huimin Sun; Yan Zhang; Jianjun Xu; Jia Yao; Jinquan Li; Bo Li; Ming Nie (Global Change Biology, 2022)
Soil microbial respiration is an important factor in regulating carbon (C) exchange between the soil and atmosphere. Thermal adaptation of soil microorganisms will lead to a weakening of the positive feedback between climate warming and soil respiration. The thermal adaptation of microbial communities and fungal species has been proven. However, studies on the thermal adaptation of bacterial species, the most important decomposers in the soil, are still lacking. Here, we isolated six species of widely distributed dominant bacteria and studied the effects of constant warming and temperature fluctuations on those species. The results showed that constant warming caused a downregulation of respiratory temperature sensitivity ( Q 10 ) of the bacterial species, accompanied by an elevation of the minimum temperature ( T min ) required for growth. Similar results were seen with the addition of temperature fluctuations, suggesting that both scenarios caused a significant thermal adaptation among the bacterial species. Fluctuating and increasing temperatures are considered an important component of future warming. Therefore, the inclusion of physiological responses of bacteria to these changes is essential to understand relationships between microbiota and temperature and enhance the prediction of global soil–atmosphere C feedbacks.

Global aquaculture development increased rapidly in recent years, and the sector has become one of the fastest‐growing industries in the animal‐derived food production system. However, disease outbreak remains a major challenge that hinders sustainable production through an advanced level of intensification. Recently, antibiotics applied have been restricted globally against aquatic disease outbreaks due to their apparent accumulation in the tissues, which imposes on the development of resistant bacteria. Naturally available medicinal plants were tested to combat some pathogens affecting humans and animals, as they contain a wide range of active substances that can induce biological functions. Currently, medicinal plants are being tested in aquaculture as a safe and eco‐friendly substance to modulate immune status, enhance growth performance and prevent fish disease. Moreover, different parts (e.g. leaf, flower and rhizome) and forms (e.g. crude, extract and active ingredient) of plants are used to modulate specific biological functions (e.g. growth promoter, anti‐stress, immunostimulants, appetite stimulation, antibacteria, anti‐parasite and anti‐virus). Medicinal plants are also used to defend the aquaculture animal from external stressors, such as poor water quality, high environmental temperature and overcrowding. This paper aims to provide information on the role of currently used medicinal plants on aquaculture animals and their action mechanisms. In conclusion, the current review suggested that the utilisation of medicinal plants remained untapped in uncovering the biological activities of active substances against a variety of diseases across diverse species of aquaculture animals.

The optimal spacing interval between principal shelterbelts of the farm-shelter forest network - Qinming Sun; Bo Zheng; Tong Liu; Lekui Zhu; Xiaoran Hao; Zhiquan Han (Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2022)
The farm-shelter forest network is a complex grid protection system, with a windbreak that is distinctly different from that of the single shelterbelt. We selected the farm-shelter forest network of a jujube field in the Tarim Basin of northwest China and used a combination of field measurements and wind tunnel tests to determine the optimal spacing interval between principal shelterbelts. The wind speed reductive curve of the farm-shelter forest network showed a gradual wind speed tendency to stability. Therefore, a model was established based on the energy transfer balance between the upper and the lower airflows for a steady wind speed. The prediction error of the model was found to be < 1%. The model results indicated that increasing the spacing interval between principal shelterbelts from 10 to 20 H , where H is the shelterbelt height, maintained more than 70% of the windbreak effect of the farm-shelter forest network. If the spacing interval between principal shelterbelts were to be increased from 10 to 20 H , the jujube planting area would be increased by 0.54%. Therefore, a thorough consideration of the windbreak effect of each shelterbelt, the synergistic effects of shelterbelts, the windbreak effects of tall crops, and the effects of temperature and humidity in farm-shelter forest networks indicates that increasing the spacing interval will not only maintain the windbreak effect, but it will also reduce the side effects of shelterbelts, increase the planting area, favor mechanized operation, and improve planting efficiency.

Impact of Freshwater Discharge on the Carbon Uptake Rate of Phytoplankton During Summer (January–February 2019) in Marian Cove, King George Island, Antarctica - Bo Kyung Kim; Misa Jeon; Hyoung Min Joo; Tae-Wan Kim; Sang-Jong Park; Jisoo Park; Sun-Yong Ha (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Rapidly changing conditions in high-latitude coastal systems can significantly impact biogeochemical cycles because these systems are strongly influenced by freshwater discharged from melting glaciers and streams on land. Generally, Antarctic coastal areas are considered high-productivity areas in which phytoplankton growth prevails under various environmental conditions (e.g., oceanographic and meteorological conditions). This study provides carbon uptake rates of phytoplankton in Marian Cove during summer (January-February 2019). Daily depth-integrated carbon uptake varied greatly and averaged 0.8 g C m –2 day –1 , with a maximum of 4.52 mg g C m –2 day –1 recorded on 14 January. Similarly, the observed biomass standing stocks were very high (up to 19.5 mg m –3 chlorophyll a ) and were dominated by microphytoplankton (20–200 μm), representing 84% of total chlorophyll a (chl- a ). The depth-integrated chl- a and carbon uptake decreased from outer to inner areas (close to the glacial front) in the cove. As the austral summer progressed, the freshening of the surface waters coincided with high water stability and suspended material and with low productivity when nanophytoplankton were present (2–20 μm; >60%). These findings suggest that both photosynthetically active radiation penetrating the water column and enhanced turbidity control light availability for phytoplankton, as well as their community compositions.

Nitrogen addition amplifies the nonlinear drought response of grassland productivity to extended growing‐season droughts - Bo Meng; Junqin Li; Gregory E. Maurer; Shangzhi Zhong; Yuan Yao; Xuechen Yang; Scott L. Collins; Wei Sun (Ecology, 2021)
Understanding the response of grassland production and carbon exchange to intra‐annual variation in precipitation and nitrogen addition is critical for sustainable grassland management and ecosystem restoration. We introduced growing‐season drought treatments of different lengths (15, 30, 45 and 60 d drought) by delaying growing‐season precipitation in a long‐term nitrogen addition experiment in a low diversity meadow steppe in northeast China. Response variables included aboveground biomass (AGB), ecosystem net carbon exchange (NEE), and leaf net carbon assimilation rate ( A ). In unfertilized plots drought decreased AGB by 13.7% after a 45‐d drought and 31.7% after a 60‐d drought (47.6% in fertilized plots). Progressive increases in the drought response of NEE were also observed. The effects of N addition on the drought response of productivity increased as drought duration increased, and these responses were a function of changes in AGB and biomass allocation, particularly root to shoot ratio. However, no significant effects of drought occurred in fertilized or unfertilized plots in the growing season a year after the experiment, N addition did limit the recovery of AGB from severe drought during the remainder of the current growing season. Our results imply that chronic N enrichment could exacerbate the effects of growing‐season drought on grassland productivity caused by altered precipitation seasonality under climate change, but that these effects do not carry over to the next growing season.

Comparison of mitochondrial genomes provides insights into intron dynamics and evolution in Botryosphaeria dothidea and B . kuwatsukai - Bo Wang; Xiaofei Liang; Xiaojuan Hao; Haiyue Dang; Tom Hsiang; Mark L. Gleason; Rong Zhang; Guangyu Sun (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Botryosphaeria dothidea is one of the most common fungal pathogens on a large number of hosts worldwide. Botryosphaeria dothidea and B. kuwatsukai are also the main causal agents of apple ring rot. In this study, we sequenced, assembled and annotated the circular mitogenomes of 12 diverse B . dothidea isolates (105.7–114.8 kb) infecting various plants including apple, and five diverse B . kuwatsukai isolates (118.0–124.6 kb) from apple. B . dothidea mitogenomes harboured a set of 29–31 introns and 48–52 ORFs. In contrast, B . kuwatsukai mitogenomes harboured more introns (32–34) and ORFs (51–54). The variation in mitogenome sizes was associated mainly with different numbers of introns and insertions of mobile genetic elements. Interestingly, B . dothidea and B . kuwatsukai displayed distinct intron distribution patterns, with three intron loci showing presence/absence dynamics in each species. Large numbers of introns (57% in B . dothidea and 49% in B . kuwatsukai ) were most likely obtained through horizontal transfer from non‐Dothideomycetes. The mitochondrial gene phylogeny supported the differentiation of the two species. Overall, this study sheds light into the mitochondrial evolution of the plant pathogens B . dothidea and B . kuwatsukai , and intron distribution patterns could be useful markers for studies on population diversity.

Sea Surface Object Detection Algorithm Based on YOLO v4 Fused with Reverse Depthwise Separable Convolution (RDSC) for USV - Tao Liu; Bo Pang; Lei Zhang; Wei Yang; Xiaoqiang Sun (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
Unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) have been extensively used in various dangerous maritime tasks. Vision-based sea surface object detection algorithms can improve the environment perception abilities of USVs. In recent years, the object detection algorithms based on neural networks have greatly enhanced the accuracy and speed of object detection. However, the balance between speed and accuracy is a difficulty in the application of object detection algorithms for USVs. Most of the existing object detection algorithms have limited performance when they are applied in the object detection technology for USVs. Therefore, a sea surface object detection algorithm based on You Only Look Once v4 (YOLO v4) was proposed. Reverse Depthwise Separable Convolution (RDSC) was developed and applied to the backbone network and feature fusion network of YOLO v4. The number of weights of the improved YOLO v4 is reduced by more than 40% compared with the original number. A large number of ablation experiments were conducted on the improved YOLO v4 in the sea ship dataset SeaShips and a buoy dataset SeaBuoys. The experimental results showed that the detection speed of the improved YOLO v4 increased by more than 20%, and mAP increased by 1.78% and 0.95%, respectively, in the two datasets. The improved YOLO v4 effectively improved the speed and accuracy in the sea surface object detection task. The improved YOLO v4 algorithm fused with RDSC has a smaller network size and better real-time performance. It can be easily applied in the hardware platforms with weak computing power and has shown great application potential in the sea surface object detection.

Trends in the occurrence of pan‐Arctic warm extremes in the past four decades - Lejiang Yu; Shiyuan Zhong; Bo Sun (International Journal of Climatology, 2021)
The most recent historic heat wave in Siberia with record‐shattering temperatures is a reflection that, as a manifestation of global warming, the Arctic is experiencing more frequent and severe warm‐temperature extremes that could have global consequences. Here, we apply the self‐organizing map (SOM) clustering method to 6‐hr data from ERA‐Interim from 1979 to 2017 to document the spatial and seasonal variations of the trends in the number of warm‐extreme days over the pan‐Arctic region, and to apportion the trends into a dynamic component representing changes in atmospheric circulation patterns, a thermodynamic component not directly related to circulations, and an interaction component. We show significant upward trends in the occurrence of warm extremes across much of the Arctic Ocean in all seasons except for summer when regions of significant upward trends move from the Arctic Ocean to the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, Greenland, and the northern North Atlantic. The direction and magnitude of the trends in seasonal warm extremes as well as their seasonal and spatial variations are dominated by the thermodynamic component, with the dynamic component and the interaction component at least an order of magnitude smaller. Although negligible to the long‐term, pan‐Arctic averaged trend, the dynamic component may be comparable with, or even larger than, the thermodynamic component at some locations and under certain atmospheric circulation patterns.

Lignin Synthesis Related Genes with Potential Significance in the Response of Upland Cotton to Fusarium Wilt Identified by Transcriptome Profiling - Jianan Hou; Fu’an Zhao; Xiaojie Yang; Wu Li; Deyi Xie; Zhongjie Tang; Shuping Lv; Lihong Nie; Yao Sun; Mengmeng Wang; Yajing Zhu; Xiaopei Bo; et al. (Tropical Plant Biology, 2021)
Fusarium wilt, caused by the fungus Fusarium oxysporum Schlecht. f. sp. vasinfectum (Fov) is a destructive soil-borne cotton disease. To profile the genes and pathways responding to Fov infection, we compared transcriptomic responses before and after F. oxysporum inoculation in a highly resistant cotton cultivar, Yumian21, and a highly susceptible cultivar, Jimian11. Although the overall gene expression pattern was downregulated in both cultivars, the global gene expression in the resistant cultivar was stronger than that in the susceptible cultivar. In addition, the expressed genes of two cultivars mostly differed in “cellular process,” “single-organism process,” “metabolic process,” and “response to stimulus” functional groups in the biological process Gene Ontology category: the upregulated differentially expressed genes (DEG) were largely enriched in the resistant cultivar, while the downregulated DEGs were largely enriched in the susceptible cultivar. Phenylpropanoid biosynthesis and phenylalanine metabolism are the key metabolic pathways in cotton in response to Fov. We found that lignin plays a potential role in cotton resistance to Fov. Two coding genes, caffeic acid 3-O-methyltransferase and peroxidase2 , as well as the two transcription factors MYB46 and MYB86 , are possibly involved in the accumulation and synthesis of lignin. Furthermore, the result showed that the quantification of lignin could be potentially used as a selection tool to identify Fusarium wilt resistant cotton.

Kidney disease is manifested in a wide variety of phenotypes, many of which have an important hereditary component. To delineate the genotypic and phenotypic spectrum of pediatric nephropathy, a multicenter registration system is being implemented based on the Chinese Children Genetic Kidney Disease Database (CCGKDD). In this study, all the patients with kidney and urological diseases were recruited from 2014 to 2020. Genetic analysis was conducted using exome sequencing for families with multiple affected individuals with nephropathy or clinical suspicion of a genetic kidney disease owing to early-onset or extrarenal features. The genetic diagnosis was confirmed in 883 of 2256 (39.1%) patients from 23 provinces in China. Phenotypic profiles showed that the primary diagnosis included steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS, 23.5%), glomerulonephritis (GN, 32.2%), congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT, 21.2%), cystic renal disease (3.9%), renal calcinosis/stone (3.6%), tubulopathy (9.7%), and chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology (CKDu, 5.8%). The pathogenic variants of 105 monogenetic disorders were identified. Ten distinct genomic disorders were identified as pathogenic copy number variants (CNVs) in 11 patients. The diagnostic yield differed by subgroups, and was highest in those with cystic renal disease (66.3%), followed by tubulopathy (58.4%), GN (57.7%), CKDu (43.5%), SRNS (29.2%), renal calcinosis /stone (29.3%) and CAKUT (8.6%). Reverse phenotyping permitted correct identification in 40 cases with clinical reassessment and unexpected genetic conditions. We present the results of the largest cohort of children with kidney disease in China where diagnostic exome sequencing was performed. Our data demonstrate the utility of family-based exome sequencing, and indicate that the combined analysis of genotype and phenotype based on the national patient registry is pivotal to the genetic diagnosis of kidney disease.

Output Feedback Cooperative Dynamic Positioning Control for an Unactuated Floating Object Using Multiple Vessels - Guoqing Xia; Chuang Sun; Bo Zhao (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
This paper proposes an output feedback cooperative dynamic positioning control scheme for an unactuated floating object using multiple vessels under model uncertainties and environmental disturbances. The floating object is connected to multiple vessels through towlines. At first, nonlinear extended state observers are developed for the floating object and vessels to reconstruct the unmeasured velocity and to estimate the model uncertainties and disturbances. Second, observer-based controllers are designed for the floating object and vessels to drive the floating object to track the reference signal and to achieve the cooperative control of multiple vessels, respectively. The salient features of the proposed control scheme are presented as follows. Firstly, by design the object controller, the tracking performance of the object is improved. Secondly, according to the required force of the floating object, the time-varying formation of vessels is obtained by using the towline attachment geometry of the floating object, control allocation and a towline model. It is shown that all signals in closed-loop system are bounded via Lyapunov analysis. Simulation study is carried out to verify the effectiveness of proposed control method.

A latitudinal gradient of microbial β‐diversity in continental paddy soils - Xian Xiao; Na Zhang; Haowei Ni; Yunfeng Yang; Jizhong Zhou; Bo Sun; Yuting Liang (Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2021)
Aim The β‐diversity of plants and animals generally decreases with increasing latitudes. Here, we tested whether this relationship also holds for soil microbes at both functional and taxonomic levels. Location China. Time period Between June and October 2013. Major taxa studied Soil archaea, bacteria, and functional genes. Methods We used a spatially explicit ‘L‐shaped’ sampling strategy in 39 paddy fields in China to study the pattern of soil microbial β‐diversity (i.e., species turnover, β z ) across a latitudinal gradient (19.75° N to 47.58° N), with 11 soil samples taken within a 100 m × 100 m plot from each field. Archaeal and bacterial communities were analysed by sequencing 16S ribosomal RNA gene amplicons using Illumina MiSeq; microbial functional genes involved in C/N/P/S cycling were detected by GeoChip. Results We showed that the microbial β‐diversity varied considerably across taxonomic and functional groups. For both soil microbial communities and functional genes, β‐diversity decreased significantly along elevated latitudes at the continental scale. Woesearchaeota of archaeal communities, Bacteroidetes of bacterial communities, and the functional genes involved in methane production displayed the greatest decreases. Both mean temperature during the growing season of rice plants and paddy soil heterogeneity contributed to the latitudinal patterns. Further analyses indicated that temperature was more important than soil heterogeneity in driving the β‐diversity of microbial communities and functional genes. Main conclusions These results highlight the importance of temperature‐driven soil microbial β‐diversity and suggest the potential to predict the changes of microbial diversity with climate change.

Interannual variations of monthly precipitation and associated mechanisms over the Three River Source region in China in winter months - Teng Wang; Bo Sun; Huijun Wang (International Journal of Climatology, 2021)
This study investigates the interannual variability of winter precipitation over the Three River Source (TRS) region in China based on precipitation observations collected at stations in the TRS region and reanalysis datasets for the period of 1980–2015. The results suggest that the TRS winter precipitation has distinct interannual variability with discordant trends in different months, that is, an increasing trend is found in November and February, a decreasing trend is found in other winter months, and interannual variations in precipitation are different in different months. The mechanisms for the interannual variation in monthly precipitation over the TRS region are significantly different in different winter months. The interannual variability of TRS precipitation in November is modulated by an anomalous westerly water vapour transport (WVT) branch. This anomalous WVT branch is related to a North Atlantic‐Europe‐Tibetan Plateau (NA‐E‐TP) wave‐train that originates in the North Atlantic due to the ocean–atmosphere interaction. In December, a circum‐global teleconnection (CGT) wave‐train can induce anomalous westerly WVT in the TRS region, resulting in increased precipitation there. This CGT wave‐train is triggered by warm SST anomalies in the central‐eastern tropical Pacific associated with the El Niño‐Southern Oscillation (ENSO). The interannual variability of TRS precipitation in January and February is affected by southwesterly WVT anomalies over the TRS region, which are associated with a southeastward propagating wave‐train over Eurasia caused by the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO). In March, the interannual variability of TRS precipitation is modulated by the leading mode of the Eurasian circulation that resembles the Scandinavian (EU1) pattern, which can cause anomalous southwesterly WVT in the TRS region. In winter, the characteristics of sea surface temperature anomalies, weather systems, and atmospheric circulations associated with interannual variations of monthly precipitation in the TRS region are different for individual winter months.

Megafaunal Community Structure From the Abyssal to Hadal Zone in the Yap Trench - Dongsheng Zhang; Yadong Zhou; Jichao Yang; Thomas Linley; Ruiyan Zhang; Bo Lu; Peng Xu; Chengcheng Shen; Shiquan Lin; Yueyun Wang; Dong Sun; Xiaogu Wang; et al. (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Hadal trenches remain one of the unexplored ocean ecosystems due to the challenges of sampling at great depths. It is still unclear how a faunal community changes from the abyssal to the hadal zone, and which environmental variables are the key impacting factors. In this study, nine dives of the Human Occupied Vehicle (HOV) “ JIAOLONG ” were conducted from abyssal to hadal depths (4,435–6,796 m) in the Yap Trench on the southeastern boundary of the Philippine Sea Plate in the western Pacific, divided into 48,200 m video transects, to describe the megafaunal communities and reveal their relationship with environmental factors. A total of 1,171 megafauna organisms was recorded, 80 morphospecies (msps) from 8 phyla were identified based on the video data, most of which were reported for the first time in the Yap Trench. Arthropoda was the most abundant phylum and Echinodermata was the most diverse phylum of the megafaunal community. The faunal abundance increased with depth, whereas the Shannon diversity index decreased with depth. Cluster analysis suggested seven assemblages, with five abyssal groups, one mixed group, and one hadal dominant group. Although megafaunal communities changed gradually from abyssal zone to hadal zone, both PERMANOVA and PERMDISP analyses revealed that the communities are significantly different between abyssal zone and hadal zone, indicating 6,000 m as the boundary between the two depth zones. Depth, substrate, slope, and latitude were identified as four important environmental factors with significant influence on megafaunal community structure. This study proposed a transition pattern from the abyssal to hadal zone in the Yap Trench, highlighted the importance of habitat heterogeneity in structuring megafaunal community in a hadal trench.

The Last Glacial Maximum (LGM; 21 ka BP) was the most recent glacial period when the global ice sheet volume was at a maximum. Therefore, the LGM can be used to investigate atmospheric dynamics under a climate that differed significantly from the present. This study quantitatively compares pollen records of boreal summer (June–July–August) precipitation with the PMIP3 LGM simulations. The data-model comparison shows an overall agreement on a drier than pre-industrial East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) climate. Nevertheless, 17 out of 55 records show a regional precipitation increase that is also simulated over the additional land mass area due to sea level drop. The thermodynamic and dynamic responses are analyzed to explain a drier LGM EASM as a combination of these two antagonistic mechanisms. Relatively low atmospheric moisture content was the main thermodynamic control on the lower LGM (relative to pre-industrial levels) EASM precipitation amounts in both the reconstructions and the models. In contrast, two dynamic processes in relation to stationary eddy activity act to increase EASM precipitation regionally in records and simulations, respectively. Precipitation increase in records is explained by dynamic enhancement of the horizontal moisture transport, while dynamic enhancement of the vertical moisture transport leads to simulated precipitation increase over the specific region where landmass was exposed during LGM along continental coastlines of China due to significant drop in sea level (relative to pre-industrial levels). Overall, the opposing effects of thermodynamic and dynamic processes on precipitation during the LGM provide a means to reconcile the spatial heterogeneity of recorded precipitation changes in sign, although data-model comparison suggests that the simulated dynamic wetting mechanism is too weak relative to the thermodynamic drying mechanism over data-model disagreement regions.
