Summary Autophagy is important for growth, development and pathogenesis in fungi. Although autophagic process is generally considered to be conserved, the conservation and evolution of ATG genes at kingdom‐wide remains to be conducted. Here we systematically identified 41 known ATG genes in 331 species and analyzed their distribution across the fungal kingdom. In general, only 20 ATG genes are highly conserved, including most but not all the yeast core‐autophagy‐machinery genes. Four functional protein groups involved in autophagosome formation had conserved and non‐conserved components, suggesting plasticity in autophagosome formation in fungi. All or majority of the key ATG genes were lost in several fungal groups with unique lifestyles and niches, such as Microsporidia, Pneumocystis and Malassezia . Moreover, majority of ATG genes had A‐to‐I RNA editing during sexual reproduction in two ascomycetes and deletion of FgATG11 , the ATG gene with the most editing sites in Fusarium affected ascospore releasing. Duplication and divergence also was observed to several core ATG genes, such as highly divergent ATG8 paralogs in dermatophytes and multiple ATG15 duplications in mushrooms. Taken together, independent losses and duplications of ATG genes have occurred throughout the fungal kingdom and variations in autophagy exist among different lineages and possibly different developmental stages.

Climatic role of terrestrial ecosystem under elevated CO 2 : a bottom‐up greenhouse gases budget - Shuwei Liu; Cheng Ji; Cong Wang; Jie Chen; Yaguo Jin; Ziheng Zou; Shuqing Li; Shuli Niu; Jianwen Zou (Ecology Letters, 2018)
The net balance of greenhouse gas ( GHG ) exchanges between terrestrial ecosystems and the atmosphere under elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide ( CO 2 ) remains poorly understood. Here, we synthesise 1655 measurements from 169 published studies to assess GHG s budget of terrestrial ecosystems under elevated CO 2 . We show that elevated CO 2 significantly stimulates plant C pool ( NPP ) by 20%, soil CO 2 fluxes by 24%, and methane ( CH 4 ) fluxes by 34% from rice paddies and by 12% from natural wetlands, while it slightly decreases CH 4 uptake of upland soils by 3.8%. Elevated CO 2 causes insignificant increases in soil nitrous oxide (N 2 O) fluxes (4.6%), soil organic C (4.3%) and N (3.6%) pools. The elevated CO 2 ‐induced increase in GHG emissions may decline with CO 2 enrichment levels. An elevated CO 2 ‐induced rise in soil CH 4 and N 2 O emissions (2.76 Pg CO 2 ‐equivalent year −1 ) could negate soil C enrichment (2.42 Pg CO 2 year −1 ) or reduce mitigation potential of terrestrial net ecosystem production by as much as 69% ( NEP , 3.99 Pg CO 2 year −1 ) under elevated CO 2 . Our analysis highlights that the capacity of terrestrial ecosystems to act as a sink to slow climate warming under elevated CO 2 might have been largely offset by its induced increases in soil GHG s source strength.

Land surface air temperature variations over Eurasia and possible causes in the past century - Zhiyan Zuo; Song Yang; Kang Xu; Renhe Zhang; Qiong He; Tianbao Zhao; Jing Cong (International Journal of Climatology, 2018)
In this study, the variations of annual land surface air temperature (SAT) over Eurasia and the northern part of Africa (0°–180°E, 0°–90°N) were investigated using monthly SAT data from the Climatic Research Unit, University of East Anglia for 1901–2014 and the simulations from the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory coupled model. The observed results suggested that the SAT variations exhibited robust non‐uniform spatial features at multi‐time scales. For the variations in inter‐annual to decadal time scales (IDV), the intensity generally increased from south to north, with the strongest intensity being around Siberia and four times that of the weakest intensity found around China. The IDV leading pattern showed a north–south dipole across 40°N. The simulated results suggested that the north–south dipole and the northwards increase of the IDV were due to internal interactions within the complex nonlinear climate system, but the natural and greenhouse gas forcings could intensify the IDV. The warming trend of the SAT was generally homogeneous, but it showed distinctive multi‐decadal fluctuations in different regions. The linear secular trends and robust multi‐decadal variation around Siberia and China corresponded to the considerable acceleration and deceleration in the warming over the two regions, respectively. The warming around Siberia was mainly caused by greenhouse gases but its modulation due to natural forcing was also considerable because of the robust multi‐decadal variations. Around China, the multi‐decadal variation, contributed by the natural forcing, can explain more than half the variances in the warming. The warming trend around central Asia was intense and parabolic, and the multi‐decadal variation over there was weak and showed few modulating effects.

Large soil organic carbon increase due to improved agronomic management in the North China Plain from 1980s to 2010s - Daorui Han; Martin Wiesmeier; Richard T. Conant; Anna Kühnel; Zhigang Sun; Ingrid Kögel‐Knabner; Ruixing Hou; Peifei Cong; Rubiao Liang; Zhu Ouyang (Global Change Biology, 2018)
Agricultural soils are widely recognized to be capable of carbon sequestration that contributes to mitigating CO 2 emissions. To better understand soil organic carbon ( SOC ) stock dynamics and its driving and controlling factors corresponding with a period of rapid agronomic evolution from the 1980s to the 2010s in the North China Plain ( NCP ), we collected data from two region‐wide soil sampling campaigns (in the 1980s and 2010s) and conducted an analysis of the controlling factors using the random forest model. Between the 1980s and 2010s, environmental (i.e. soil salinity/fertility) and societal (i.e. policy/techniques) factors both contributed to adoption of new management practices (i.e. chemical fertilizer application/mechanization). Results of our work indicate that SOC stocks in the NCP croplands increased significantly, which also closely related to soil total nitrogen changes. Samples collected near the surface (0–20 cm) and deeper (20–40 cm) both increased by an average of 9.4 and 5.1 Mg C ha −1 , respectively, which are equivalent to increases of 73% and 56% compared with initial SOC stocks in the 1980s. The annual carbon sequestration amount in surface soils reached 10.9 Tg C year −1 , which contributed an estimated 43% of total carbon sequestration in all of China's cropland on just 27% of its area. Successful desalinization and the subsequent increases in carbon (C) inputs, induced by agricultural projects and policies intended to support crop production (i.e. reconstruction of low yield farmland, and agricultural subsidies), combined with improved cultivation practices (i.e. fertilization and straw return) since the early 1980s were the main drivers for the SOC stock increase. This study suggests that rehabilitation of NCP soils to reduce salinity and increase crop yields have also served as a pathway for substantial soil C sequestration.

A deeper understanding of how clouds will respond to a warming climate is one of the outstanding challenges in climate science. Uncertainties in the response of clouds, and particularly shallow clouds, have been identified as the dominant source of the discrepancy in model estimates of equilibrium climate sensitivity. As the community gains a deeper understanding of the many processes involved, there is a growing appreciation of the critical role played by fluctuations in water vapor and the coupling of water vapor and atmospheric circulations. Reduction of uncertainties in cloud-climate feedbacks and convection initiation as well as improved understanding of processes governing these effects will result from profiling of water vapor in the lower troposphere with improved accuracy and vertical resolution compared to existing airborne and space-based measurements. This paper highlights new technologies and improved measurement approaches for measuring lower tropospheric water vapor and their expected added value to current observations. Those include differential absorption lidar and radar, microwave occultation between low-Earth orbiters, and hyperspectral microwave remote sensing. Each methodology is briefly explained, and measurement capabilities as well as the current technological readiness for aircraft and satellite implementation are specified. Potential synergies between the technologies are discussed, actual examples hereof are given, and future perspectives are explored. Based on technical maturity and the foreseen near-mid-term development path of the various discussed measurement approaches, we find that improved measurements of water vapor throughout the troposphere would greatly benefit from the combination of differential absorption lidar focusing on the lower troposphere with passive remote sensors constraining the upper-tropospheric humidity.

Evolutionary agroecology: individual fitness and population yield in wheat ( Triticum aestivum ) - Jacob Weiner; Yan‐Lei Du; Cong Zhang; Xiao‐Liang Qin; Feng‐Min Li (Ecology, 2017)
Although the importance of group selection in nature is highly controversial, several researchers have argued that plant breeding for agriculture should be based on group selection, because the goal in agriculture is to optimize population production, not individual fitness. A core hypothesis behind this claim is that crop genotypes with the highest individual fitness in a mixture of genotypes will not produce the highest population yield, because fitness is often increased by “selfish” behaviors, which reduce population performance. We tested this hypothesis by growing 35 cultivars of spring wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) in mixtures and monocultures, and analyzing the relationship between population yield in monoculture and individual yield in mixture. The relationship was unimodal, as predicted. The highest‐yielding populations were from cultivars that had intermediate fitness, and these produced, on average, 35% higher yields than cultivars with the highest fitness. It is unlikely that plant breeding or genetic engineering can improve traits that natural selection has been optimizing for millions of years, but there is unutilized potential in traits that increase crop yield by decreasing individual fitness.
