A synthesis of radial growth patterns preceding tree mortality - Maxime Cailleret; Steven Jansen; Elisabeth M. R. Robert; Lucía Desoto; Tuomas Aakala; Joseph A. Antos; Barbara Beikircher; Christof Bigler; Harald Bugmann; Marco Caccianiga; Vojtěch Čada; Jesus J. Camarero; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2017)
Tree mortality is a key factor influencing forest functions and dynamics, but our understanding of the mechanisms leading to mortality and the associated changes in tree growth rates are still limited. We compiled a new pan‐continental tree‐ring width database from sites where both dead and living trees were sampled (2970 dead and 4224 living trees from 190 sites, including 36 species), and compared early and recent growth rates between trees that died and those that survived a given mortality event. We observed a decrease in radial growth before death in ca. 84% of the mortality events. The extent and duration of these reductions were highly variable (1–100 years in 96% of events) due to the complex interactions among study species and the source(s) of mortality. Strong and long‐lasting declines were found for gymnosperms, shade‐ and drought‐tolerant species, and trees that died from competition. Angiosperms and trees that died due to biotic attacks (especially bark‐beetles) typically showed relatively small and short‐term growth reductions. Our analysis did not highlight any universal trade‐off between early growth and tree longevity within a species, although this result may also reflect high variability in sampling design among sites. The intersite and interspecific variability in growth patterns before mortality provides valuable information on the nature of the mortality process, which is consistent with our understanding of the physiological mechanisms leading to mortality. Abrupt changes in growth immediately before death can be associated with generalized hydraulic failure and/or bark‐beetle attack, while long‐term decrease in growth may be associated with a gradual decline in hydraulic performance coupled with depletion in carbon reserves. Our results imply that growth‐based mortality algorithms may be a powerful tool for predicting gymnosperm mortality induced by chronic stress, but not necessarily so for angiosperms and in case of intense drought or bark‐beetle outbreaks.

Interdecadal change of South China Sea summer monsoon intensity in the mid‐1990s - Ki‐Seon Choi; Hae‐Dong Kim; Sung‐Dae Kang; Do‐Woo Kim (International Journal of Climatology, 2017)
This study analysed the interdecadal variation of the South China Sea summer (June–September) monsoon ( SCSSM ) in recent 32 years (1979–2010). The SCSSM showed a strengthening interdecadal variability starting from 1995, which was also verified in time series of precipitation and precipitable water averaged over the SCSSM domain. Thus, 32 years of total analysis period was divided into two: first half of past 16 years (1979–1994, hereafter 7994) and recent 16 years (1995–2010, hereafter 9510) thereby analysing a mean difference between 9510 and 7994 periods to determine causes of the strengthened SCSSM since the mid‐1990s. The spatial distribution of difference in outgoing longwave radiation, precipitable water, and precipitation between the two periods showed a typical La Niña pattern. The pattern which occurred during La Niña event has been verified through analysis on differences in 850‐ and 200‐ hPa stream flows between the two periods. At 850 hPa , anomalous huge anticyclones were strengthened in the both hemispheres so that anomalous easterlies were strengthened in the equatorial central and western Pacific. As a result, the SCS was affected by anomalous southeasterlies. On the contrary, anomalous huge cyclones were strengthened in the both hemispheres at 200 hPa so that anomalous westerlies were strengthened in the equatorial western and central Pacific. This means that rising air from the tropical western Pacific since the mid‐1990s was moved to the east and then Walker circulation, which was descended at the tropical central and eastern Pacific, was strengthened. Due to the strengthened Walker circulation, La Niña events have been more dominant than before in recent years and as a result of this, SCSSM was more strengthened than before.

Development of Optimal Pipe Size Design Tool for Irrigation Systems and its Application to Saemangeum Reclamation Area - Do Guen Yoo; Young Hwa Kim; Young Deuk Kim; Jaeyong Cho; Joong Hoon Kim (Irrigation and Drainage, 2016)
This study aims to develop an economical tool for pipe size (diameter) design, i.e. a model, by using optimization techniques for agricultural irrigation systems. The developed model is validated through applications to an actual target region (Saemangeum reclamation area, zone 6). A newly developed metaheuristic optimization algorithm, termed a proportional genetic harmony search algorithm (PGHSA), is proposed in this study. To evaluate the optimization results of pipe diameters for the target region, the cost and hydraulic results of the initial and optimal designs are investigated by means of a comparison. Spatial equalization of nodal pressure and the economic velocity of each pipe are used as indicators for evaluating the hydraulic stability of the irrigation system. The results indicate that the proposed optimal design model can save construction cost considerably, by 1–11%, in comparison to the original plans. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Coprinuslactone protects the edible mushroom C oprinus comatus against biofilm infections by blocking both quorum‐sensing and M ur A - Maira P. de Carvalho; Giuseppe Gulotta; Matheus W. do Amaral; Heinrich Lünsdorf; Florenz Sasse; Wolf‐Rainer Abraham (Environmental Microbiology, 2016)
Summary Pathogens embedded in biofilms are involved in many infections and are very difficult to treat with antibiotics because of higher resistance compared with planktonic cells. Therefore, new approaches for their control are urgently needed. One way to search for biofilm dispersing compounds is to look at defense strategies of organisms exposed to wet environments, which makes them prone to biofilm infections. It is reasonable to assume that mushrooms have developed mechanisms to control biofilms on their sporocarps (fruiting bodies). A preliminary screening for biofilms on sporocarps revealed several species with few or no bacteria on their sporocarps. From the edible mushroom Coprinus comatus where no bacteria on the sporocarp could be detected (3R,4S)‐2‐methylene‐3,4‐dihydroxypentanoic acid 1,4‐lactone, named coprinuslactone, was isolated. Coprinuslactone interfered with quorum‐sensing and dispersed biofilms of Pseudomonas aeruginosa , where it also reduced the formation of the pathogenicity factors pyocyanin and rhamnolipid B. Coprinuslactone also damaged Staphylococcus aureus cells in biofilms at subtoxic concentrations. Furthermore, it inhibited UDP‐N‐acetylglucosamine enolpyruvyl transferase (MurA), essential for bacterial cell wall synthesis. These two modes of action ensure the inhibition of a broad spectrum of pathogens on the fruiting body but may also be useful for future clinical applications.

Outbreak of hirame rhabdovirus infection in cultured spotted sea bass Lateolabrax maculatus on the western coast of Korea - H‐G Seo; J W Do; S H Jung; H‐J Han (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2016)
In this study, we determined the cause of a disease outbreak in spotted sea bass, Lateolabrax maculatus reared in culture cages on the western coast of Korea in 2013. The major signs in the diseased fish exhibited were haemorrhaging on the membranes of the abdomen, gastrointestinal organs and opercular gills, as well as an enlarged spleen. No external morphological signs of infection were visible, except for a darkening in colour. No parasites or pathological bacteria were isolated from the diseased fish; however, epithelioma papulosum cyprini ( EPC ) cells inoculated with tissue homogenates from the diseased fish showed cytopathic effects ( CPE s). Virus particles in the EPC cells were bullet‐shaped, 185–225 nm long and 70–80 nm wide, characteristic of Rhabdoviridae. Polymerase chain reaction analyses of homogenized tissues from the diseased fish and supernatants of cell cultures with CPE s indicated specific, 553‐bp‐long fragments corresponding to the matrix protein gene of the hirame rhabdovirus ( HIRRV ). Phylogenetically, the HIRRV phosphoprotein gene of spotted sea bass was more closely related to phosphoproteins from Chinese and Polish HIRRV strains than from other Korean strains. To our knowledge, this is the first report of HIRRV infection in cultured spotted sea bass.

Irrigation Canal Network Flow Analysis by a Hydraulic Model - Hae‐Do Kim; Jin‐Taek Kim; Won‐Ho Nam; Sun‐Joo Kim; Jin‐Yong Choi; Bo‐Sung Koh (Irrigation and Drainage, 2016)
For agricultural water management to be successfully achieved, flow analysis of irrigation canal network flows is essential to determine the proper distribution of crop water requirements and to contribute to an optimized irrigation operation and water allocation. This study developed a hydraulic analysis model for irrigation canal flow by using the Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) module by adding the network modelling and paddy water balance model. This model was applied to a rice paddy field rehabilitation project area in the Daesan District located in the western part of South Korea. Results obtained from the calibrated simulation model were compared with the actual measurement data from water‐level gauges at the irrigation canals. The irrigation hydraulic analysis model for canal network flow indicates the significance of using irrigation management tools in improving the analysis for accurate irrigation scheduling based on its simulation results, such as flow travel time, water level and flow amount.

The assessment of droughts in Northern China and Mongolian areas using PDSI and relevant large‐scale environments - Jae‐Won Choi; In‐Gyum Kim; Jeoung‐Yun Kim; Baek‐Jo Kim; Cheol‐Hong Park; Do‐Woo Kim (International Journal of Climatology, 2016)
This study assessed drought conditions in northern China and Mongolian areas using the Palmer drought severity index ( PDSI ). Droughts in this area were intensified throughout all seasons. In particular, this intensifying trend was pronounced in the summer and autumn. In the summer, the PDSI showed an overall increase from the early 1990s to the late 1990s, and then, it rapidly decreased after the late 1990s. Therefore, this study focused on summer droughts and analysed mean differences before the late 1990s (9098) and after the late 1990s (9905). Regarding differences in 850 hPa stream flows between the two periods, anomalous anticyclonic circulations were strengthened in northern China and Mongolia that showed strong negative anomalies in the PDSI . These anomalous anticyclones were formed as a positive North Atlantic Oscillation pattern formed in the European region spread eastward in the form of wave trains. The anomalous anticyclones formed in northern China and Mongolia led to reduced total cloud cover. As a result, this region exhibited high sensible heat net fluxes. Consequently, warm and dry anticyclones may have recently been strengthened in this region, thereby intensifying droughts. As this shows, recently strengthened warm and dry anticyclones in northern China and Mongolia were associated with recently reduced snow depths in this region during the preceding spring. In recent years, the frequency of Asian dust has also increased due to warm and dry air conditions.

The morphology of free-living stages and immature parasites of Rhabdias paraensis (Nematoda: Rhabdiasidae), a parasite of Rhinella marina (Anura: Bufonidae) in Brazil - Francisco Tiago de Vasconcelos Melo; Luciana de Cássia Silva do Nascimento; Lilian Cristina Macedo; Jeannie Nascimento dos Santos; Yuriy Kuzmin (Acta Parasitologica, 2016)
Rhabdias paraensis Santos, Melo, Nascimento, Nascimento, Giese et Furtado, 2011 was described based on fully gravid worms. Further investigations on the free-living stages, immature worms and young individuals were facilitated by cultivation in the laboratory, which allowed us to add new information about the morphology and development of the species. Observations on the free-living development of R. paraensis showed that the life cycle is typical of Rhabdias, with alternation of gonochoristic and hermaphroditic generations and without homogony. Males of the free-living generation were different from those in several species of the genus studied previously. In the original description, the excretory glands and duct were absent in gravid specimens of R. paraensis, while in this study, distinct excretory glands and a duct were observed in immature and young individuals. Additionally, we recognised the separation of the buccal capsule walls into anterior and posterior portions and described the specific shapes of these portions in lateral and apical view. Studies on the morphology and development of free-living stages of Rhabdias spp. from Neotropical regions may provide additional information for species determination.

Soil charcoal as long‐term pyrogenic carbon storage in Amazonian seasonal forests - Maryory M. Turcios; Margarita M. A. Jaramillo; José F. do Vale; Philip M. Fearnside; Reinaldo Imbrozio Barbosa (Global Change Biology, 2016)
Forest fires (paleo + modern) have caused charcoal particles to accumulate in the soil vertical profile in Amazonia. This forest compartment is a long‐term carbon reservoir with an important role in global carbon balance. Estimates of stocks remain uncertain in forests that have not been altered by deforestation but that have been impacted by understory fires and selective logging. We estimated the stock of pyrogenic carbon derived from charcoal accumulated in the soil profile of seasonal forest fragments impacted by fire and selective logging in the northern portion of Brazilian Amazonia. Sixty‐nine soil cores to 1‐m depth were collected in 12 forest fragments of different sizes. Charcoal stocks averaged 3.45 ± 2.17 Mg ha −1 (2.24 ± 1.41 Mg C ha −1 ). Pyrogenic carbon was not directly related to the size of the forest fragments. This carbon is equivalent to 1.40% (0.25% to 4.04%) of the carbon stocked in aboveground live tree biomass in these fragments. The vertical distribution of pyrogenic carbon indicates an exponential model, where the 0–30 cm depth range has 60% of the total stored. The total area of Brazil's Amazonian seasonal forests and ecotones not altered by deforestation implies 65–286 Tg of pyrogenic carbon accumulated along the soil vertical profile. This is 1.2–2.3 times the total amount of residual pyrogenic carbon formed by biomass burning worldwide in 1 year. Our analysis suggests that the accumulated charcoal in the soil vertical profile in Amazonian forests is a substantial pyrogenic carbon pool that needs to be considered in global carbon models.

Determining climate change feedbacks from tropical rainforests requires an understanding of how carbon gain through photosynthesis and loss through respiration will be altered. One of the key changes that tropical rainforests may experience under future climate change scenarios is reduced soil moisture availability. In this study we examine if and how both leaf photosynthesis and leaf dark respiration acclimate following more than 12 years of experimental soil moisture deficit, via a through‐fall exclusion experiment ( TFE ) in an eastern Amazonian rainforest. We find that experimentally drought‐stressed trees and taxa maintain the same maximum leaf photosynthetic capacity as trees in corresponding control forest, independent of their susceptibility to drought‐induced mortality. We hypothesize that photosynthetic capacity is maintained across all treatments and taxa to take advantage of short‐lived periods of high moisture availability, when stomatal conductance ( g s ) and photosynthesis can increase rapidly, potentially compensating for reduced assimilate supply at other times. Average leaf dark respiration ( R d ) was elevated in the TFE ‐treated forest trees relative to the control by 28.2 ± 2.8% (mean ± one standard error). This mean R d value was dominated by a 48.5 ± 3.6% increase in the R d of drought‐sensitive taxa, and likely reflects the need for additional metabolic support required for stress‐related repair, and hydraulic or osmotic maintenance processes. Following soil moisture deficit that is maintained for several years, our data suggest that changes in respiration drive greater shifts in the canopy carbon balance, than changes in photosynthetic capacity.
