Winter Dormant Wheat Will Benefit From Mean Temperature Increase of 2°C When Well‐Watered and Fertilized in the Main Producing Regions of China - Ruoshi Wang; Chuang Zhao; Senthold Asseng; Bing Liu; Alex C. Ruane; Jiahui Cong; Xi Wang; Zhijuan Liu; Jin Zhao; Xiaoguang Yang (Global Change Biology, 2025)
Rising temperatures are projected to lead to a decline in global wheat production. However, this global trend belies the regional nuances of this impact, such as observed local yield increases in some field experiments in the winter wheat‐growing region of China. This study combines detailed data from eight field warming experiments and outputs of simulation by an ensemble of three point‐based crop models and an ensemble of 10 global gridded crop models to scrutinize the influence of warming on winter wheat yield in the main producing regions of China (MPC). Observed data were obtained from published reports of field experiments, where winter wheat was grown with sufficient water and nitrogen under free‐air‐temperature increase (FATI) by 2°C. Growth and physiology of winter wheat in the field experiments were simulated by three point‐based crop models to validate the effects of warming on wheat growth and yield as simulated by grid‐based crop models. Results of field observations and grid simulations both indicate notable increases in average grain yield (observed +13%, simulated +8%) and aboveground biomass (observed +15%, simulated +7%) under 2°C warming across the MPC. The winter dormancy and pre‐anthesis duration were shorter with warmer temperature, with the effect that the grain filling period between anthesis to maturity was extended by 6 days. The shorter phenology affected wheat photosynthesis because less solar radiation was available (−6%) over the growth period. However, the leaf area index started to develop earlier and reached a higher maximum than un‐warmed control, so the cumulative solar radiation for photosynthesis intercepted by warmed wheat was higher (+9%), as well as the radiation use efficiency (+1%). These findings suggest that well‐irrigated and well‐fertilized winter dormant wheat is likely to experience yield gains with local warming of up to 2°C, bolstering confidence in future adaptation of wheat production in China.

The stability of plant richness, composition, and cover responds nonlinearly to warming in a decade‐long experiment - Ruonan Shen; Yangjian Zhang; Juntao Zhu; Yunlong He; Zhoutao Zheng; Guang Zhao; Nan Cong; Bo Zhao; Xianzhou Zhang; Lin Jiang; Yann Hautier (Ecology, 2025)
Global warming is expected to change the diversity, composition, and functioning of plant communities. However, it remains unclear how warming alters the temporal stability of different aspects of plant communities and the extent to which these different aspects are interlinked or respond differently to warming. Here, using data from a 10‐year, multi‐level warming experiment in an alpine grassland, we quantified the temporal stability of three plant community aspects—species richness, composition, and cover—in response to warming scenarios that increase soil temperature by 0.4, 1.6, 2.1, and 2.5°C. We found a nonlinear concave stability response to warming for each of the three community aspects investigated. That is, moderate warming caused moderate increases in the stability of richness, composition, and cover, whereas severe warming caused strong decreases in stability. Additionally, we found that the processes contributing to stability differed among the three community aspects, with warming weakening the relationships between them. Severe warming reduced the stability of cover by reducing the stability of dominant species and species asynchrony. Compositional stability decreased due to declines in species richness, species asynchrony, and dominant species stability. Richness stability decreased due to a decline in species richness. Our results demonstrate that the stability of different community aspects responds nonlinearly to future warming scenarios, with moderate warming stabilizing but high‐level warming destabilizing plant species richness, composition, and cover. Our findings emphasize the collective influence of species richness, species asynchrony, and dominant species stability as key factors modulating community stability in the context of global warming.

A complete and continuous core record of deep-water mass transport deposits - Cong Cheng; Tao Jiang; Zenggui Kuang; Jinfeng Ren; Zigui Chen; Xu Zhao; Maqsood Ur Rahman; Fulong Ning (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2025)
Mass transport deposits are a fundamental component of deep-water sedimentary systems and play a crucial role in the transportation of sediments from continental slopes to deep-sea basins. However, there exists a significant gap in our understanding of their internal vertical structure, core facies characteristics, and associated sedimentary processes. This study employs comprehensive and continuous core data, logging-while-drilling data, and high-resolution 3D seismic data obtained from the Qiongdongnan Basin in the northern South China Sea to meticulously delineate the core facies of deep-water sedimentary systems within the investigated area. Among these findings, eleven core facies types have been summarized and categorized across all identified sedimentary systems. These include mass transport deposits, turbidity currents, bottom currents, as well as hemipelagic and pelagic deposits. Mass transport deposits display a range of deformation characteristics within their cores, including slumps and debris flows. Their internal structure encompasses various sedimentation processes that involve not only turbidity currents but also hemipelagic and pelagic deposits. This study further explores the issue of phase division in mass transport deposits across various dataset scales, including core, log, and seismic data. It proposes new insights into sedimentary processes and patterns for mass transport deposits in deep-water environments while examining their dynamic interactions with gas hydrates. Additionally, this study summarizes the overall framework of deep-water sedimentary systems present in the Qiongdongnan Basin. The aim is to provide geological insights that will inform future studies on mass transport deposits.

Design and Innovative Application of Ship CCUS Technology Under the Requirements of Green Shipping - Niyu Zhang; Xinpeng Wang; Cong Wang; Zhongxiu Peng; Youxiao Chen; Lianhao Liu; Lijie Chen; Jiawei Hu; Wei Wei; Xuesong Li (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2025)
In the context of green shipping, carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technology is widely recognized as an effective approach for maritime emission reduction. However, existing onboard CO2 capture systems (OCCS) face challenges including high retrofit complexity, operational limitations, significant deadweight tonnage loss, and compromising feasibility. This study addresses these issues through modular redesign and standardization of two core components: the capture device and CO2 storage system. We developed clustered storage units to ensure secure CO2 storage while maximizing economic efficiency, with optimal deployment determined through parameter optimization. The work further examines post-capture processing methods and implementation barriers for onboard CCUS, establishing practical pathways to advance decarbonization technologies and mature maritime CCUS industry chains.

Collaborative Scheduling of Yard Cranes, External Trucks, and Rail-Mounted Gantry Cranes for Sea–Rail Intermodal Containers Under Port–Railway Separation Mode - Xuhui Yu; Cong He (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2025)
The spatial separation of port yards and railway hubs, which relies on external truck drayage as a necessary link, hampers the seamless transshipment of sea–rail intermodal containers between ports and railway hubs. This creates challenges in synchronizing yard cranes (YCs) at the port terminal, external trucks (ETs) on the road, and rail-mounted gantry cranes (RMGs) at the railway hub. However, most existing studies focus on equipment scheduling or container transshipment organization under the port–railway integration mode, often overlooking critical time window constraints, such as train schedules and export container delivery deadlines. Therefore, this study investigates the collaborative scheduling of YCs, ETs, and RMGs for synchronized loading and unloading under the port–railway separation mode. A mixed-integer programming (MIP) model is developed to minimize the maximum makespan of all tasks and the empty-load time of ETs, considering practical time window constraints. Given the NP-hard complexity of this problem, an improved genetic algorithm (GA) integrated with a “First Accessible Machinery” rule is designed. Extensive numerical experiments are conducted to validate the correctness of the proposed model and the performance of the solution algorithm. The improved GA demonstrates a 6.08% better solution quality and a 97.94% reduction in computation time compared to Gurobi for small-scale instances. For medium to large-scale instances, it outperforms the adaptive large neighborhood search (ALNS) algorithm by 1.51% in solution quality and reduces computation time by 45.71%. Furthermore, the impacts of objective weights, equipment configuration schemes, port–railway distance, and time window width are analyzed to provide valuable managerial insights for decision-making to improve the overall efficiency of sea–rail intermodal systems.

Mass deposition of microbes from wildfire smoke to the sea surface microlayer - Siyao Yue; Yafang Cheng; Lishan Zheng; Senchao Lai; Shan Wang; Tianli Song; Linjie Li; Ping Li; Jialei Zhu; Meng Li; Lianfang Wei; Chaoqun Ma; et al. (Limnology and Oceanography, 2025)
Microbes in the sea surface microlayer (SML) are key to connecting the ocean and the atmosphere, affecting the exchange of matter, momentum, and heat at the interface. However, their sources have never been quantified systematically. Seawater has long been deemed their major source, whereas atmospheric deposition is regarded as trivial or merely providing additional nutrients. Here, combining atmospheric observations and quantitative budget analyses, we show that during the Indonesian peatland wildfire events the smoke can directly deposit abundant microbes into the SML, which can be comparable to the estimated supply from seawater and potentially diversify the microbial community of the SML. This land–air–ocean interaction is relevant for global climate, as it may induce previously unknown effects on the air–sea interactions, especially in an increasingly warming future with more intensifying wildfires.

Optimal Alternative Fuel Selection for Dual-Fuel Ships Under FuelEU Maritime Regulations: Environmental and Economic Assessment - Cong Wang; Zhongxiu Peng; Jianming Yang; Niyu Zhang; Ke Li; Xuesong Li (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2025)
To address greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the maritime sector, the European Union (EU) has introduced the FuelEU Maritime regulation to incentivize ships to adopt diversified compliance pathways and energy solutions. This study aims to determine the optimal alternative fuel configurations for dual-fuel ships of different types under environmental, economic, and regulatory constraints. An integrated environmental and cost assessment model from a well-to-wake (WtW) perspective to systematically evaluate the environmental benefits and economic feasibility of fossil-based, bio-based, and renewable electricity-based alternative fuels applied in dual-fuel ships. By incorporating the PROMETHEE II method within a multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) framework, together with the CRITIC objective weighting method, the study enables a robust ranking of alternative fuel configurations across three key dimensions: environmental performance, cost feasibility, and regulatory compliance. The results indicate that, regardless of ship type, the very low sulfur fuel oil (VLSFO) + marine gas oil (MGO) and VLSFO + methanol (MEOH) combinations fail to meet the GHG intensity targets for 2025–2050. Only the VLSFO + electrolytic liquid hydrogen (E-LH2) and VLSFO + electrolytic ammonia (E-NH3) configurations are compliant. Although e-fuels incur the highest annual costs, the EU compliance penalty associated with fossil fuels increases exponentially. In contrast, e-fuels retain long-term cost advantages, ultimately driving a sector-wide transition toward e-fuel-dominated energy structures by 2050. Their superior environmental performance and regulatory compatibility emerge as the core drivers of the maritime energy transition.

Turbo Equalization Based on a Virtual Decoder for Underwater Acoustic Communication - Cong Peng; Lei Wang; Lerong Hong; Zehua Lin; An Luo (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2025)
By transferring external information between the equalizer and the decoder iteratively, the performance of turbo equalization is close to the channel capacity. Conventional turbo equalization (CTE) relies on channel coding, while the transmission of external information is a problem in an uncoded system, and turbo equalization without channel coding (TECC) remains unexplored. Therefore, this paper introduces a TECC framework with a virtual decoder constructed by bidirectional processing. The main innovation is that the existence of the virtual decoder enables the transmission of external information. Under this new framework, we implement it with a minimum mean square error decision feedback equalizer (MMSE-DFE) and evaluate its performance across stationary channels and multipath fading channels. Simulation results demonstrate significant communication performance enhancement after three to four iterations, surpassing both conventional bidirectional and unidirectional equalization. In addition, the proposed TECC is verified through underwater acoustic communication in a sea trial. The results also demonstrate that the TECC achieves better bit error performance.

Multi-Objective Optimization Based on Response Surface Methodology and Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimization for Pipeline Selection of Replenishment Oiler - Yujin Cong; Cheng Meng; Ming Yang; Yong Liu; Ping Yi; Tie Li; Shuai Huang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2025)
Ship pipeline selection, as a crucial component of ship pipeline design, is often a time-consuming process due to its high complexity. In this study, the response surface methodology combined with the multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm was used to optimize the fuel pipeline resistance and its space volume, aiming to select the optimal design scheme for an X-type replenishment oiler. Firstly, a one-dimensional pipeline system simulation model of a replenishment oiler was established based on the Flowmaster software (version 4.2_0 2020), and the fueling process was simulated. The simulation results were validated against the experimental results, and good agreements were obtained. Then, the response surface methodology was employed to establish regression models for the pipeline resistance, pipeline space volume, and imbalance degree of branch flows. Finally, multi-objective particle swarm optimization was used to optimize the target and select the optimal virtual solution from the Pareto front. Constrained by the international application standard, the optimal real solution was determined. Compared with the original scheme, the optimized scheme reduced the resistance by 3.57% for the #1 pipeline system and by 3.51% for the #2 pipeline system, respectively, and the space volume of the pipeline system was reduced by 5.72% while ensuring the flow balance.

Seasonal and spatial variations of nutrients and environmental effects under anthropogenic influence in Daya Bay, China - Jincheng Zhao; Jiawei He; Cai Li; Zeming Yang; Cong Liu; Xianqing Zhang; Min Qin; Dejing Tang; Wen Zhou; Zhantang Xu; Yuanyue Cheng (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2025)
Nutrients are crucial factors for the growth of phytoplankton, and their biogeochemical processes directly impact marine biodiversity. In this study, based on two cruise observations in spring and summer of 2024, the seasonal and spatial variations of nutrients, chlorophyll a, and other ecological indicators in Daya Bay were explored. The results indicated that the average concentrations of dissolved inorganic nitrogen and silicate were 3.61 ± 3.99 µM and 26.27 ± 13.91 µM in summer, respectively, compared with 2.48 ± 1.53 µM and 23.8 ± 6.77 µM in spring. The average concentration of dissolved inorganic phosphate was 0.29 ± 0.12 µM in summer, lower than 0.32 ± 0.09 µM in spring. The stoichiometric proportion among nutrients at most monitoring stations were far from Redfield ratio, and a succession from N-limited to P-limited was observed. A transformation has been observed in the dominant composition of dissolved inorganic nitrogen, shifting from ammonia to total oxidized nitrogen as the main component, which is mainly attributable to the decrease in aquaculture activities in Daya Bay over the last 3 years. In addition, the warm wastewater discharge from nuclear power stations directly influences the distribution of phytoplankton in the surrounding areas. This study provides timely information regarding recent shifts in ecological indicators and is significant to the ecological protection, environmental management, and policy adjustment in Daya Bay.

Nanomaterials in cancer starvation therapy: pioneering advances, therapeutic potential, and clinical challenges - Nam Anh Tran; Shehzahdi S. Moonshi; Alfred K. Lam; Cu Tai Lu; Cong Quang Vu; Satoshi Arai; Hang Thu Ta (Cancer and Metastasis Reviews, 2025)
Gaining significant attention in recent years, starvation therapy based on the blocking nutrients supply to cancer cells via blood occlusion and metabolic interventions is a promisingly novel approach in cancer treatment. However, there are many crucial obstacles to overcome to achieve effective treatment, for example, poor-targeting delivery, cellular hypoxia, adverse effects, and ineffective monotherapy. The starvation-based multitherapy based on multifunctional nanomaterials can narrow these gaps and pave a promising way for future clinical translation. This review focuses on the progression in nanomaterials-mediated muti-therapeutic modalities based on starvation therapy in recent years and therapeutic limitations that prevent their clinical applications. Moreover, unlike previous reviews that focused on a single aspect of the field, this comprehensive review presents a broader perspective on starvation therapy by summarising advancements across its various therapeutic strategies.

GAB-YOLO: a lightweight deep learning model for real-time detection of abnormal behaviors in juvenile greater amberjack fish - Mingxin Liu; Chun Zhang; Cong Lin (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2025)
With the growing global population and economic development, the demand for sashimi has increased, presenting both new opportunities and challenges for aquaculture. As a key species for sashimi, Greater Amberjack faces significant potential in aquaculture but is also vulnerable to temperature fluctuations, particularly during its juvenile stage, which can lead to abnormal behaviors. These behavioral anomalies, if undetected, can impede growth and result in substantial economic losses. Traditional methods for detecting abnormal behavior rely heavily on manual inspection, a process that is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Meanwhile, existing automated detection algorithms often struggle with a trade-off between detection accuracy and model size. To address this issue, we propose a precise and lightweight model for detecting Greater Amberjack’s abnormal behaviors, based on the YOLOv8n architecture (named GAB-YOLO). First, we introduce the SobelMaxDS module, designed to enhance the network’s ability to extract edge and spatial features, thereby enabling more effective capture of the fish’s behavioral contours and preserving rich target information. This enhancement improves the model’s robustness against challenges such as image blurring, occlusion, and false detections in complex environments. Additionally, the PMSRNet module is integrated into the backbone network to replace C2f, improving the model’s feature extraction capabilities through multi-scale feature fusion and enhanced spatial information capture, which aids in the accurate localization of the fish target.Furthermore, by incorporating shared decoupled heads for classification and regression features, alongside GroupConv and DBB(Diverse Branch Block) modules in the detection head, we significantly reduce the model’s parameter count while simultaneously improving its accuracy and robustness. Finally, the introduction of the Wise-ShapeIoU loss function further accelerates the model’s convergence and optimization process. Experimental results demonstrate that, compared to the original model, the number of parameters and FLOPs are reduced by 36.7% and 28.4%, respectively, while the Precision is increased by 5.1%. The model achieves a detection speed of 172 frames per second, outperforming other mainstream detection models. This study addresses the real-time detection requirements for Greater Amberjack’s abnormal behaviors in aquaculture and offers considerable practical value for fish farming operations.

Using an accurate growth curve to estimate the suitable age for slaughter has many benefits for ostrich farming. This study was carried out to compare eight growth curve models for estimating body weight and monthly gain of ostriches raised in tropical conditions and then suggested the suitable slaughter age for these ostriches. Two hundred eighty-two ostriches (124 males and 158 females) were raised from birth to 12 months of age to measure individual monthly body weight, and the growth data was analyzed by R software. Eight growth functions (von Bertalanffy, Bridges, Janoschek, Gompertz, Logistic, Lopez, Richards, and Weibull) were used to create the growth curves of ostrich. The Weibull function was the best model among 8 tested models to describe the growth of both male and female ostriches, and the monthly gain (MG) reached the maximum at the 6 th month of age. The maximum average monthly gain (AMG) was obtained between the 9 th and 10 th month of age for both males and females. The best-fit model in this study (Weibull function) suggests the suitable slaughter ages were estimated from the 9 th to 10 th month of age for both male and female ostriches, with estimated body weights of 93 kg for male and 90 kg for female.

Wind-driven coastal upwelling causes synoptic-to-intraseasonal variations in tidal temperature variability near a strong shelf front in the northern South China Sea in summer - Junyi Li; Fangguo Zhai; Cong Liu; Yanzhen Gu; Peiliang Li; Guanqiong Ye (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2025)
Tidal variability and coastal upwelling are some of the most important processes in global shelf seas. With observations and high-resolution numerical simulation, we investigate the synoptic-to-intraseasonal variations in tidal temperature variability to the east of the Leizhou Peninsula and Qiongzhou Strait in the northern South China Sea and clarify the underlying dynamics. The results indicate that tidal temperature variability is most significant in a narrow meridional band in shallow waters (< 40 m) to the east of the Leizhou Peninsula and Qiongzhou Strait in the summer when there are strong thermal fronts located on the sea floor slope. The summer mean diurnal standard deviation of hourly temperature can reach up to 0.93°C. Tidal temperature variability in summer exhibits no spring-neap cycles but strong synoptic-to-intraseasonal variations, with the diurnal standard deviation of hourly temperature varying significantly from 0°C to 2.36°C. Further analyses indicate that synoptic-to-intraseasonal variations in tidal temperature variability in the summer are predominantly caused by wind-driven coastal upwelling. When southerly winds are weak, coastal upwelling is weak and leads to the offshore thermal front being located far away from the Leizhou Peninsula. Waters between the offshore thermal front and the Leizhou Peninsula/Qiongzhou Strait are mixed well and experience insignificant tidal temperature variability. When southerly winds are strong, coastal upwelling is strong and results in the offshore thermal front moving westward close to the Leizhou Peninsula. This facilitates the formation of the nearshore thermal front in combination with the complex topography and tidal currents. Tidal current-induced swinging of the nearshore thermal front then generates significant tidal temperature variability. The above results highlight the importance of coastal upwelling/downwelling in modulating tidal temperature variability near ocean thermal fronts in the shelf seas.

Two Cold‐Shock Proteins Characterised as RNA Chaperone of Hyperthermophilic Archaeon Pyrococcus yayanosii - Huanhuan Zhang; Zhe Gao; Cong Li; Jun Xu (Environmental Microbiology, 2025)
Cold shock proteins (Csps) play a crucial role in facilitating cellular growth at suboptimal temperatures. In this study, we identified and characterised two Csps, PyCsp and PyTRAM, in the hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrococcus yayanosii A1. Using bio‐layer interferometry (BLI) and molecular beacon assays, we demonstrated that both proteins exhibit RNA binding and unfolding activities in vitro. Heterologously expressed PyCsp and PyTRAM exhibited transcription anti‐termination activity in Escherichia coli RL211 and could restore the growth of the cold‐sensitive E. coli BX04 at 22°C. Knockout of the coding genes of either PyCsp or PyTRAM impaired the growth of P. yayanosii A1 at 85°C, a comparatively lower temperature to the optimal 95°C. Gene knockout and cross‐complementation analyses of the coding genes for these two proteins suggest that PyCsp and PyTRAM functionally complement each other at low temperatures. PyTRAM contains the conserved TRAM domain, which is a typical characteristic of archaeal RNA chaperones. Notably, PyCsp shows low similarity to known archaeal RNA chaperones. Deletion of PYCH_0765 , the gene encoding PyCsp, led to 27.5% changes in the transcriptome. This work highlights PyCsp as a non‐TRAM class RNA chaperone that globally alters the transcriptome of P. yayanosii under cold shock conditions.

Research on Characteristics of the Hermite–Gaussian Correlated Vortex Beam - Rui Cong; Dajun Liu; Yan Yin; Haiyang Zhong; Yaochuan Wang; Guiqiu Wang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2025)
In this work, a new beam named the Hermite–Gaussian correlated vortex beam (HGCVB) is introduced. The intensity and coherence of this HGCVB in oceanic turbulence are analyzed. The results show that the HGCVB displays a splitting property during propagation, and the HGCVB can evolve into the array profile with hollow center beamlets. The results display that the evolution of the intensity of the HGCVB is manipulated by the coherence length δ0 and topological charge M. Meanwhile, the array distribution of coherence of the HGCVB in oceanic turbulence can evolve into a one-spot pattern on propagation. The results show that this HGCVB evolves from a Gaussian beam into a beam array composed of beamlets with hollow centers and may have a potential application in oceanic turbulence.
