Assessment of marine protected areas in the East China Sea using a management effectiveness tracking tool - Mingyang Chen; Cong Zeng; Xu Zeng; Yue Liu; Zihan Wang; Xiaojing Shi; Ling Cao (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
Marine protected areas (MPAs) are important tools for maintaining biodiversity, mitigating climate change, and conserving and restoring natural ecosystems. Management effectiveness assessment is an important component of conservation management in protected areas. In this study, we constructed a management effectiveness assessment tool based on publicly available information for China, with a total score of 126. We used the tool to systematically assess 27 national MPAs in the East China Sea. Our results showed that marine nature reserves (MNRs) and marine special reserves (MSRs) could be classified into two and three classifications, respectively, including MNRs I (n = 4, scores = 88-100), MNRs II (n = 6, scores = 75-81), MSRs I (n = 8, scores = 75-90), MSRs II (n = 6, scores = 59-75) and MSRs III (n = 3, scores = 53-56). Factors influencing the management effectiveness of nature reserves were the length of establishment and general public budget revenue, while for special reserves they were the length of establishment and total agricultural output value. Furthermore, protected areas with high management effectiveness scores tend to have a longer establishment time, dedicated management departments, adequate management staff and financial investment compared to those with low scores. In addition, the low-score MPAs require more communication with stakeholders. The study provides an objective and comprehensive systematic scoring of MPAs’ management using METT-based framework and multi-source data. It overcomes the challenge of the general lack of data on MPAs and provides a new approach to management effectiveness assessment.

Tomographic reconstruction of 3D sound speed fields to reveal internal tides on the continental slope of the South China Sea - Longhao Dai; Cong Xiao; Xiao-Hua Zhu; Ze-Nan Zhu; Chuanzheng Zhang; Hua Zheng; Minmo Chen; Qiang Li (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
Mirror-type coastal acoustic tomography (MCAT) is an advancement of coastal acoustic tomography (CAT) with a mirror function that enables the nearshore transmission of offshore observation data. Subsurface MCATs are used to monitor small-scale oceanographic phenomena over large areas on the continental slope of the South China Sea (300–1,000 m). This study investigated the performance of MCAT network observation for internal tide monitoring using 3D tomographic inversion. MCAT facilitates communication with each other and is networked. Results of 3D tomographic inversion were highly consistent with the Stanford unstructured nonhydrostatic terrain-following adaptive Navier–Stokes (SUNTANS) model data. The root-mean-square difference of the sound speed obtained by the inversion method was< 1.0 m/s. The high sound speeds induced by the internal tide were well captured by the results of 3D inversion. A high sound speed band of > 1,516 m/s was used as an index of internal tides, which propagated at a speed of 1.9 m/s. Sensitivity experiments demonstrated that a swing of the anchor tether of< 5 m had less impact on sound speed inversion, while distance drifts caused by human activities of > 50 m had a significant influence. The missing of one or several stations owing to natural factors did not generate significant variations in the results of network observation. This study demonstrated that the MCAT network observation strategy, equipped with numerous stations, is more effective in capturing the characteristics of internal tides.

Spatiotemporal variations of tidal flat landscape patterns and driving forces in the Yangtze River Delta, China - Shuo Cheng; Xu Zeng; Zihan Wang; Cong Zeng; Ling Cao (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
As a crucial coastal wetland habitat in the transition zone between land and sea, global tidal flats have severely declined by 16% over the last two decades under the dual threats of intense human activities and climate change. The Yangtze River Delta of China, the largest estuary in the western Pacific Ocean, has abundant mudflat resources and a dense human population. It also has some of the most prominent conflicts between economic development and ecological conservation. The current lack of understanding of landscape patterns and influencing factors of the Yangtze River Delta mudflats has severely hampered the region’s ecological conservation and restoration efforts. Based on Landsat time-series images, this study generated a 30-m spatial resolution map of mudflats in the Yangtze River Delta, which shrank by 47% during 1990–2020, with a higher density of mudflat loss in Yancheng and Nantong cities of the Jiangsu province and Hangzhou, Shaoxing, and Ningbo cities of the Zhejiang province. Landscape indices, such as the patch density of tidal flats, have gradually changed since 2000, with most of them showing significant changes in 2010. Mudflats in Lianyungang, northwestern Yancheng, Nanhui, Jiaxing, and Hangzhou showed sharp negative changes in landscape characteristics. Natural and anthropogenic factors had synergistic effects on the above changes in mudflat landscape patterns in the Yangtze River Delta. Mudflat landscape features were mainly influenced by population growth, economic development, reclamation, sediment discharge, and air temperature. Based on the evolving characteristics of mudflat landscape patterns, we recommend improving mudflat landscape management and planning by strengthening mudflat policies, laws, and regulations, developing countermeasures against threats from major stressors, and enhancing the effectiveness of nature reserves for mudflat protection.

Development of Subsea Pipeline Buckling, Corrosion and Leakage Monitoring - Fengming Du; Cong Li; Weiwei Wang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023)
Oil and gas exploration is a sector which drives the global economy and currently contributes significantly to global economic development. The safety of subsea pipelines is deeply affected by factors such as pipeline buckling, corrosion and leakage. Once a subsea pipeline is seriously leaking or damaged, it will cause a lot of waste of resources at light level, and it will cause explosions in severe cases, resulting in heavy casualties and huge economic losses, and at the same time, seriously damaging the surrounding ecological environment. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to problems related to the buckling, corrosion and leakage of submarine pipelines. This paper consists of a literature review of the latest research about buckling, corrosion and leak detection.

Improvement and Optimization Configuration of Inland Ship Power and Propulsion System - Zhipeng Du; Qinan Chen; Cong Guan; Hui Chen (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023)
Advances in power and propulsion and energy management improvements can significantly contribute to reducing emissions. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) Marpol regulations impose increasingly stringent restrictions on ship’s emission. According to the measured data of the target ship in typical working profiles, the power fluctuation, fuel consumption and emission data are analyzed, and the result represented that there are serious fuel consumption and pollution problems in the diesel engine power system. Based on the ship-engine propeller matching design theory, the ship-engine propeller model was built, and the new propulsion system power of the target ship was obtained by simulation. From the perspectives of power, economy and green, the performance and emission indexes of diesel engine and LNG engine are compared and analyzed, and the fuel cost advantage, green advantage and power performance disadvantage of LNG engine compared with diesel engine are determined. By comparing the topological structures of different hybrid propulsion forms, the new propulsion form of the ship is improved to be the gas-electric hybrid propulsion system based on the ESS (Energy Storage System), and the selection of the supercapacitors and lithium batteries is compared. Based on the low-pass filter strategy, the power distribution of the ultracapacitor and lithium battery is distributed. In order to determine the optimal ESS configuration, a capacity configuration model with investment cost, fuel cost and energy storage life as objective functions was established. NGSA-II algorithm was used to calculate the model and scheme selection was completed based on the scheme decision model. In this case, the optimal scheme significantly reduces pollutant emissions, it also reduces daily fuel costs by 38% and the result shows that we can complete the cost recovery in 1.28 years.

Probability distribution characteristics of summer extreme precipitation in Xinjiang, China during 1970–2021 - Ailiyaer Aihaiti; Yu Wang; Mamtimin Ali; Lianhua Zhu; Junjian Liu; Hailiang Zhang; Jiacheng Gao; Cong Wen; Meiqi Song (Theoretical and Applied Climatology, 2023)
Based on the daily precipitation data of 96 stations in Xinjiang, China, from 1970 to 2021, the trend of summer extreme precipitation indices and their regional characteristics are analyzed. The generalized extreme value (GEV) model is used to investigate the probability distribution characteristics of summer extreme precipitation indices in northern, southern, and eastern Xinjiang. The results show that (1) The summer maximum 1-day precipitation (RX1day) and maximum 5-day precipitation (RX5day) of most stations in Xinjiang showed an increasing trend, while the summer consecutive dry days (CDD) showed a decreasing trend. (2) The climatology (mean intensity) of RX1day, RX5day, and CDD at most stations in northern Xinjiang were more than 10 mm, more than 15 mm, and less than 25 days, respectively, while those at most stations in southern and eastern Xinjiang were less than 10 mm, less than 15 mm, and more than 25 days. The regional averaged climatology and inter-annual variability of RX1day/RX5day (CDD) in southern and eastern Xinjiang were smaller (larger) than that in northern Xinjiang. (3) The 20-year return level (RL20) of RX1day, RX5day, and CDD at stations in northern Xinjiang were 19.38–56.57 mm, 28.05–70.91 mm, and 22.51–51.05 days, respectively. The RL20 of RX1day, RX5day, and CDD at stations in southern Xinjiang were 21.31–46.07 mm, 23.99–72.89 mm, and 14.94–89.80 days, respectively. The RL20 of RX1day, RX5day, and CDD at stations in eastern Xinjiang were 8.89–36.36 mm, 10.13–50.66 mm, and 26.75–92.00 days, respectively. Compared with northern Xinjiang, there were lesser RX1day and RX5day events, with weaker intensity and smaller variability in southern and eastern Xinjiang. And the CDD events were opposite.

Abrupt change of a thermal front in a high-biomass coastal zone during early spring - Jian Li; Peiliang Li; Peng Bai; Fangguo Zhai; Yanzhen Gu; Cong Liu; Ruili Sun; Wenfan Wu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Coastal fronts play vital roles in local biogeochemical environment. An abrupt change of Zhejiang-Fujian coastal front (ZFCF) during early spring was well captured by multi-source satellite-retrieved sea surface temperature images. Here in this study, we investigated the mechanism of the abrupt decay with a combination of satellite observation and numerical simulation. Correlation analysis of long-term reanalysis data indicates that the variability of wind, heat flux and the Zhejiang-Fujian coastal current (ZFCC) have significant relationships with the variation of ZFCF in winter. Following heat budget analysis points out that net heat flux and horizontal advection are important in determining the net temperature tendency difference between two water masses of ZFCF during this process. To further explore the intrinsic physical roles of different dynamic factors, a comprehensive numerical investigation was conducted. Compared with the observations, the model reproduced the abrupt change process of the ZFCF satisfyingly. Sensitive experiments reveal that the weakening of the ZFCC, caused by the relaxation of the monsoon, contributes to the abrupt decay of ZFCF in the first half period, and heating effect of the Kuroshio Intrusion (KI) water gives rise to the following half period of the decay under the recovered monsoon. Further, with the impact of the KI water after the change, the ZFCF can be maintained even if the ZFCC is weak, whereas in January, the contribution of the KI water to the formation of the ZFCF seems to be limited under the prevailing monsoon. Besides, the riverine discharge and the tidal forcing can also modulate the spatiotemporal variation of ZFCF, the decrease of the river input also intensifies that decay, while tides fix the front at a specific depth.

Storm Surge Forecast Using an Encoder–Decoder Recurrent Neural Network Model - Zhangping Wei; Hai Cong Nguyen (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
This study presents an encoder–decoder neural network model to forecast storm surges on the US North Atlantic Coast. The proposed multivariate time-series forecast model consists of two long short-term memory (LSTM) models. The first LSTM model encodes the input sequence, including storm position, central pressure, and the radius of the maximum winds to an internal state. The second LSTM model decodes the internal state to forecast the storm surge water level and velocity. The neural network model was developed based on a storm surge dataset generated by the North Atlantic Comprehensive Coastal Study using a physics-based storm surge model. The neural network model was trained to predict storm surges at three forecast lead times ranging from 3 h to 12 h by learning the correlation between the past storm conditions and future storm hazards. The results show that the computationally efficient neural network model can forecast a storm in a fraction of one second. The neural network model not only forecasts peak surges, but also predicts the time-series profile of a storm. Furthermore, the model is highly versatile, and it can forecast storm surges generated by different sizes and strengths of bypassing and landfalling storms. Overall, this work demonstrates the success of data-driven approaches to improve coastal hazard research.

Anatomical study of the three-dimensional structure of a supercharged cold eddy generated in the Kuroshio Extension - Xinyu Zhang; Hua Zheng; Xiao-Hua Zhu; Ruixiang Zhao; Cong Xiao; Min Wang; Juntian Chen (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The three-dimensional structure of a supercharged cold eddy, which showed strong temperature anomaly, was continuously investigated for 83 days based on current- and pressure-equipped inverted echo sounder observations in the Kuroshio Extension region. The eddy was generated on December 9, 2004, shed from the Kuroshio approximately 30 days later, and moved out of the observation area on March 1, 2005. During the stable period, the eddy had a radius of approximately 60–80 km, a depth of approximately 3,000 m, and a westward speed of 7.4 km/d. The maximum temperature anomaly in the eddy center reached -9.1°C at 360 dbar, whereas the minimum (maximum) salinity anomaly reached -0.68 (0.20) psu at 340 (780) dbar. Under the stream function coordinate, the kinetic energy of the eddy first increased and then decreased from the center to boundary, whereas the vorticity decreased overall. Energy budget analysis showed that eddy energy mainly originated from the Kuroshio during eddy formation by advection, whereas the baroclinic conversion (BC) and barotropic conversion (BT) played a dissipative role. After the eddy had been completely separated from the Kuroshio, the mean flow energy was transferred to eddy energy through BC and BT, which further enhanced eddy potential energy and eddy kinetic energy.

Volumetric Imaging of Neural Activity by Light Field Microscopy - Lu Bai; Zhenkun Zhang; Lichen Ye; Lin Cong; Yuchen Zhao; Tianlei Zhang; Ziqi Shi; Kai Wang (Neuroscience Bulletin, 2022)
Recording the highly diverse and dynamic activities in large populations of neurons in behaving animals is crucial for a better understanding of how the brain works. To meet this challenge, extensive efforts have been devoted to developing functional fluorescent indicators and optical imaging techniques to optically monitor neural activity. Indeed, optical imaging potentially has extremely high throughput due to its non-invasive access to large brain regions and capability to sample neurons at high density, but the readout speed, such as the scanning speed in two-photon scanning microscopy, is often limited by various practical considerations. Among different imaging methods, light field microscopy features a highly parallelized 3D fluorescence imaging scheme and therefore promises a novel and faster strategy for functional imaging of neural activity. Here, we briefly review the working principles of various types of light field microscopes and their recent developments and applications in neuroscience studies. We also discuss strategies and considerations of optimizing light field microscopy for different experimental purposes, with illustrative examples in imaging zebrafish and mouse brains.

Effect of dam discharges and tides to transport of Yangtze River using coastal acoustic tomography systems - Cong Xiao; Xiao-Hua Zhu; Zenan Zhu; Chuanzheng Zhang; Hua Zheng; Zhensheng Zhang; Jiwen Zhong; Lixin Wei (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The streamflow characteristics within the Yangtze River Basin have experienced substantial fluctuations in recent years because of the combined effects of environmental factors and intensive human activities. In this study, at the Datong station, two coastal acoustic tomography (CAT) systems were used to track the Yangtze River discharge from July 2018 to January 2021. The stage–discharge relationship presented large uncertainties because of the Three Gorges Dam (TGD) operations, whereas the CAT method performed effectively in discharge monitoring even during extreme flood events. The distribution of downstream discharge was concentrated because of the regulation by the TGD. Analysis of the potential drivers in the downstream river hydrology reveals that the effect of rainfall events (leading to a maximum of ~40% changes) was heavily influenced by the regulation by the TGD (at least 50% contribution). Additionally, the river–tide process is also sensitive to the discharge regulated by the TGD. The discharge induced by tidal waves was negligible (a maximum of 1.11% change). This work demonstrates that an acoustic method can effectively monitor the massive flood discharge in unsteady flow conditions in large rivers, thereby facilitating the management of large-scale dam- and tide-influenced river systems.

Genomic prediction of drought tolerance during seedling stage in maize using low-cost molecular markers - Ao Zhang; Shan Chen; Zhenhai Cui; Yubo Liu; Yuan Guan; Shuang Yang; Jingtao Qu; Juchao Nie; Dongdong Dang; Cong Li; Xiaomei Dong; Jinjuan Fan; et al. (Euphytica, 2022)
Drought tolerance in maize is a complex and polygenic trait, especially in the seedling stage. In plant breeding, complex genetic traits can be improved by genomic selection (GS), which has become a practical and effective breeding tool. In the present study, a natural maize population named Northeast China core population (NCCP) consisting of 379 inbred lines were genotyped with diversity arrays technology (DArT) and genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) platforms. Target traits of seedling emergence rate (ER), seedling plant height (SPH), and grain yield (GY) were evaluated under two natural drought stress environments in northeast China. Adequate genetic variations were observed for all the target traits, but they were divergent across environments. Similarly, the heritability of the target trait also varied across years and environments, the heritabilities in 2019 (0.88, 0.82, 0.85 for ER, SPH, GY) were higher than those in 2020 (0.65, 0.53, 0.33) and cross-2-years (0.32, 0.26, 0.33). In total, three marker datasets, 11,865 SilicoDArT markers obtained from the DArT-seq platform, 7837 SNPs obtained from the DArT-seq platform, and 91,003 SNPs obtained from the GBS platform, were used for GS analysis after quality control. The results of phylogenetic trees showed that broad genetic diversity existed in the NCCP population. Genomic prediction results showed that the average prediction accuracies estimated using the DArT SNP dataset under the two-fold cross-validation scheme were 0.27, 0.19, and 0.33, for ER, SPH, and GY, respectively. The result of SilicoDArT is close to the SNPs from DArT-seq, those were 0.26, 0.22, and 0.33. For the trait with lower heritability, the prediction accuracy can be improved using the dataset filtered by linkage disequilibrium. For the same trait, the prediction accuracies estimated with two DArT marker datasets were consistently higher than that estimated with the GBS SNP dataset under the same genotyping cost. The prediction accuracy was improved by controlling population structure and marker quality, even though the marker density was reduced. The prediction accuracies were improved by more than 30% using the significant-associated SNPs. Due to the complexity of drought tolerance under the natural stress environments, multiple years of data need to be accumulated to improve prediction accuracy by reducing genotype-by-environment interaction. Modeling genotype-by-environment interaction into genomic prediction needs to be further developed for improving drought tolerance in maize. The results obtained from the present study provides valuable pathway for improving drought tolerance in maize using GS.

Research on the Hydrodynamic Performance of a Horizontal-Axis Tidal Current Turbine with Symmetrical Airfoil Blades Based on Swept-Back Models - Yu-Ting Yan; Shi-Ming Xu; Cong Liu; Xiao Zhang; Jian-Mei Chen; Xue-Ming Zhang; Yong-Jun Dong (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
For the design of a horizontal-axis tidal current turbine with adaptive variable-pitch blades, both numerical simulations and physical model experiments were used to study the hydrodynamic performance of symmetrical airfoil blades based on backward swept models. According to the lift–drag ratio of symmetrical airfoils, variable airfoil sections were selected for each part of the blade in the spanwise direction. Then, three kinds of blades were designed by using different swept-back models from wind turbines. A rotation model with a multi-reference frame was employed to conduct a three-dimensional steady numerical simulation of the turbine model based on the CFD method. The axial thrust and energy-capturing efficiency under different tip speed ratios, as well as the corresponding starting torque under different flow rates, were analyzed. The simulation results indicate that model 2 has optimal start-up performance, and model 3 has the largest power coefficient. The thrust coefficient of model 1 is the smallest. In all, model 2 has better comprehensive performance. The experiments of model 2 show that it has suitable hydrodynamic performance to capture bidirectional energy via passively variable pitch. This research provides an important solution for the design and optimization of horizontal-axis turbines to harvest bidirectional tidal current energy.

In-situ long-period monitoring of suspended particulate matter dynamics in deep sea with digital video images - Hui Wang; Cong Hu; Xuezhi Feng; Chunsheng Ji; Yonggang Jia (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Suspended particulate matter (SPM) plays an important role in material transport, deposition, resuspension and the function of benthic communities’ processes in deep sea. SPM concentration data is usually indirectly measured by optical/acoustic sensors. However, converting these sensors’ signal to SPM concentration is associated with a number of uncertainties, which will lead to mis-estimation of the results. Some researchers recommend combining several optical/acoustic sensors to determine SPM concentration. However, due to the lack of corresponding video images, the interpretation of significant mismatch signals recorded by different sensors is subjective. Consequently, a better understanding of long-period SPM dynamics, especially in deep sea, is still a challenge. In this study, we seek to monitor the dynamics of SPM in deep sea, by firstly obtaining in-situ digital video images at a water depth of 1450 m on the northern slope of South China Sea in 2020, and secondly developing a digital image processing method to process the in-situ monitoring data. In this method, we defined an image signal which was the ratio between the area of the SPM and that of the total image, to characterize the SPM concentration. A linear regression model of the image signal and SPM concentration was established (R 2 = 0.72). K-fold cross-validation showed that the performance of the model was well. We calculated the SPM concentration derived from image signal, and manually classified SPM into three distinct morphological groups. The long-period observation revealed that numerous aggregates existed in deep sea. The change of SPM concentration and morphology under hydrodynamics was synchronous. When current speed equaled to or exceeded 0.15 m/s, there was a significantly increase in SPM concentration and size. However, such increase was episodic. When current speed decreased, they will also decrease. In addition, we compared the image signal with the optical/acoustic backscattering signal, analyzed the mismatch period among these three signals. We found that the optical backscatter signal can’t accurately reflect the SPM concentration during the mismatch period. To our best knowledge, this is the first time that the in-situ digital video images were used to analyze the dynamics of SPM in deep sea.

Performance Optimization and Knock Investigation of Marine Two-Stroke Pre-Mixed Dual-Fuel Engine Based on RSM and MOPSO - Weijie Jin; Huibing Gan; Yujin Cong; Guozhong Li (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
The two-stroke pre-mixed dual-fuel marine engine is prone to knocking at full load in gas mode, which affects the overall dynamic and economic performance of the engine. In this paper, the 7X82DF engine produced by Winterthur Gas & Diesel Ltd. (WinGD) was selected as the research object, aiming to investigate the effect of different parameters on engine power and knocking. Multi-objective optimizations were carried out. First, we used the one-dimensional simulation software AVL-BOOST to build the gas mode model of 7X82DF. Second, the pilot fuel start of combustion timing (SOC), the gas injection pressure, and the mass of diesel were taken as independent variables. The response surface methodology analysis of the independent variables was completed using the Design-Expert software and corresponding prediction model equations were generated. Finally, we took ringing intensity (RI) as the knock intensity evaluation index, combined with multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) to optimize multiple-parameters to improve the overall performance and reduce combustion roughness of the engine. The optimization results showed that when the SOC was −8.36 °CA ATDC, the gas injection pressure was 20.00 bar, the mass of diesel was 14.96 g, the corresponding power was 22,668 kW, which increased by 0.68%, the brake-specific fuel consumption was 156.256 g/kWh, which was reduced by 3.58%, the RI was 4.4326 MW/m2, and the knock intensity decreased by 6.49%.

Essential role of ascO for virulence of Aeromonas veronii and inducing apoptosis - Tong Zhao; Bintong Yang; Hongjin Li; Aidong Qian; Wei Cong; Wuwen Sun; Yuanhuan Kang (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2022)
Aeromonas veronii is a significant pathogen that is capable of infecting humans, animals, and aquatic animals. The type III secretion system (T3SS) is intimately associated with bacterial pathogenicity. The ascO gene is an important core component of T3SS in A. veronii , but its function is still unclear. The ascO gene of A. veronii TH0426 was deleted by using the pRE112 suicide plasmid to study its function. The study results showed that the ability of ∆ ascO to adhere and invade EPC cells was significantly reduced by 1.28 times. The toxicity of the mutant strain Δ ascO to EPC cells was consistently significantly lower than wild‐type strain TH0426 at 1, 2, and 4 h. The LD50 values of ∆ ascO against zebrafish and Carassius auratus ( C. auratus ) were 53 and 15 times that of the wild‐type strain. In addition, the bacterial load of the mutant strain Δ ascO in blood, heart, liver, and spleen was lower than wild‐type strain TH0426. The Hoechst staining showed that the apoptotic degree of EPC cells induced by the mutant strain Δ ascO was lower than that of the wild‐type strain TH0426. Furthermore, real‐time quantitative PCR (RT‐qPCR) analysis revealed lower expression levels of pro‐apoptotic genes (including cytC , cas3 , cas9 , TNF‐α, and IL‐1β) in C. auratus tissues infected with the mutant strain Δ ascO compared to the wild‐type strain TH0426. The results of in vivo and in vitro experiments have shown that ascO gene mutation can reduce the adhesion and toxicity of A. veronii to EPC and reduce the level of apoptosis induced by A. veronii . As a result, these insights will help further elucidate the function of the ascO gene and thus contribute to understanding the pathogenesis of A. veronii .

Storage, patterns and influencing factors for soil organic carbon in coastal wetlands of China - Shaopan Xia; Zhaoliang Song; Lukas Van Zwieten; Laodong Guo; Changxun Yu; Weiqi Wang; Qiang Li; Iain P. Hartley; Yuanhe Yang; Hongyan Liu; Yidong Wang; Xiangbin Ran; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2022)
Soil organic carbon (SOC) in coastal wetlands, also known as “blue C,” is an essential component of the global C cycles. To gain a detailed insight into blue C storage and controlling factors, we studied 142 sites across ca. 5000 km of coastal wetlands, covering temperate, subtropical, and tropical climates in China. The wetlands represented six vegetation types ( Phragmites australis , mixed of P. australis and Suaeda , single Suaeda , Spartina alterniflora , mangrove [ Kandelia obovata and Avicennia marina ], tidal flat) and three vegetation types invaded by S. alterniflora ( P. australis , K. obovata , A. marina ). Our results revealed large spatial heterogeneity in SOC density of the top 1‐m ranging 40–200 Mg C ha −1 , with higher values in mid‐latitude regions (25–30° N) compared with those in both low‐ (20°N) and high‐latitude (38–40°N) regions. Vegetation type influenced SOC density, with P. australis and S. alterniflora having the largest SOC density, followed by mangrove, mixed P. australis and Suaeda , single Suaeda and tidal flat. SOC density increased by 6.25 Mg ha −1 following S. alterniflora invasion into P. australis community but decreased by 28.56 and 8.17 Mg ha −1 following invasion into K. obovata and A. marina communities. Based on field measurements and published literature, we calculated a total inventory of 57 × 10 6 Mg C in the top 1‐m soil across China's coastal wetlands. Edaphic variables controlled SOC content, with soil chemical properties explaining the largest variance in SOC content. Climate did not control SOC content but had a strong interactive effect with edaphic variables. Plant biomass and quality traits were a minor contributor in regulating SOC content, highlighting the importance of quantity and quality of OC inputs and the balance between production and degradation within the coastal wetlands. These findings provide new insights into blue C stabilization mechanisms and sequestration capacity in coastal wetlands.
