Quantifying soil organic carbon ( SOC ) decomposition under warming is critical to predict carbon–climate feedbacks. According to the substrate regulating principle, SOC decomposition would decrease as labile SOC declines under field warming, but observations of SOC decomposition under warming do not always support this prediction. This discrepancy could result from varying changes in SOC components and soil microbial communities under warming. This study aimed to determine the decomposition of SOC components with different turnover times after subjected to long‐term field warming and/or root exclusion to limit C input, and to test whether SOC decomposition is driven by substrate lability under warming. Taking advantage of a 12‐year field warming experiment in a prairie, we assessed the decomposition of SOC components by incubating soils from control and warmed plots, with and without root exclusion for 3 years. We assayed SOC decomposition from these incubations by combining inverse modeling and microbial functional genes during decomposition with a metagenomic technique (GeoChip). The decomposition of SOC components with turnover times of years and decades, which contributed to 95% of total cumulative CO 2 respiration, was greater in soils from warmed plots. But the decomposition of labile SOC was similar in warmed plots compared to the control. The diversity of C‐degradation microbial genes generally declined with time during the incubation in all treatments, suggesting shifts of microbial functional groups as substrate composition was changing. Compared to the control, soils from warmed plots showed significant increase in the signal intensities of microbial genes involved in degrading complex organic compounds, implying enhanced potential abilities of microbial catabolism. These are likely responsible for accelerated decomposition of SOC components with slow turnover rates. Overall, the shifted microbial community induced by long‐term warming accelerates the decomposition of SOC components with slow turnover rates and thus amplify the positive feedback to climate change.

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.

Developing the Chinese Environmentally Extended Input‐Output (CEEIO) Database - Sai Liang; Tiantian Feng; Shen Qu; Anthony S.F. Chiu; Xiaoping Jia; Ming Xu (Journal of Industrial Ecology, 2017)
Summary Environmentally extended input‐output (EEIO) databases are increasingly used to examine environmental footprints of economic activities. Studies focusing on China have independently, repeatedly developed EEIO databases for China. These databases are usually not publicly available, leading to repeated efforts, inconsistent with one another using different approaches, of limited environmental accounts, and lacking transparency, preventing continuous updating. We developed a transparent, comprehensive, and consistent Chinese EEIO database covering a wide period of time (currently 1992, 1997, 2002, and 2007 for which benchmark input‐output tables [IOTs] are available), sector classifications (original sector classifications in benchmark IOTs, a 45‐sector classification commonly used in China's environmental and energy statistics, and a 91‐sector classification with maximized sector resolution ensuring temporal consistence), and environmental satellite accounts for 256 types of resources and 30 types of pollutants in this study. Moreover, the environmental satellite accounts cover households in addition to sectors, allowing developing closed models. We make this database publicly available with open access for broader dissemination ( www.ceeio.com ). We demonstrate the database by evaluating environmental pressures of Chinese products in 2007. Comparisons of our database with previous studies validate its rationality and reliability.

Interdecadal variation of tropical cyclone genesis and its relationship to the monsoon trough over the western North Pacific - Jingliang Huangfu; Ronghui Huang; Wen Chen; Tao Feng; Liang Wu (International Journal of Climatology, 2017)
Using the European Centre for Medium‐Range Weather Forecasts Interim Reanalysis data set and the tropical cyclone ( TC ) best track data obtained from the International Best Tracks Archive for Climate Stewardship project from June to November for the epoch of 1979–2013, this study reexamines the recent interdecadal shift in TC genesis over the western North Pacific ( WNP ) in the late 1990s. An interdecadal decrease in the frequency of the WNP TC genesis was observed during 1998–2013 compared to the period of 1979–1997. The spatial distribution of the interdecadal decrease of the WNP TC genesis running northwest‐southeast, consistent with the monsoon trough ( MT ) zone. The results imply that the WNP genesis may be closely related to the MT on the interdecadal timescale. After the late 1990s, the intensity of the WNP MT becomes weaker and it extends more westward, thereby providing an unfavourable condition for the TC genesis. Through a diagnosis of the energetics, we suggested that the barotropic energy conversion in the eastern part of the WNP MT tends to be weakened in the late 1990s, hence less energy to support the WNP TC genesis. Both the meridional shear and the convergence of the mean zonal winds over the eastern WNP MT have an important impact on the conversion from mean kinetic energy to eddy kinetic energy, which can be considered as the atmospheric cause of the interdecadal decrease of TC genesis.

Aim To explore large‐scale patterns and the drivers of carbon:nitrogen:phosphorus (C:N:P) stoichiometry in heterotrophic microbes. Location A 3500‐km grassland transect on the Tibetan Plateau. Methods We investigated large‐scale C:N:P stoichiometry patterns in the soil microbial biomass and their relationships with abiotic factors and soil microbial community structures by obtaining soil samples from 173 sites across the Tibetan alpine grasslands. Results C:N:P ratios in the soil microbial biomass varied widely among grassland types, with higher microbial C:N, C:P and N:P ratios in the alpine steppe than the alpine meadow. The soil microbial C:N:P ratio (81:6:1) in the alpine steppe was significantly wider than the global average (42:6:1). Combined stepwise regression and generalized additive models revealed that variations in the microbial C:N ratio were primarily related to abiotic variables, with the microbial C:N ratio exhibiting a decreasing trend along the precipitation gradient. In contrast, variations in microbial C:P and N:P ratios were primarily associated with shifts in the community structure of soil microbes. The microbial C:P and N:P ratios were both negatively associated with all components of the soil microbial communities. However, the fungi to bacteria ratio only regulated the microbial C:P ratio. Main conclusions These results demonstrate that microbial C:N:P stoichiometry exhibits significant flexibility across various ecosystem types. This flexibility is partly induced by shifts in microbial community structure and variations in environmental conditions.

Aim Soil microorganisms play key roles in regulating many important ecosystem processes. However, our understanding of the patterns and drivers of soil microbial communities remains limited. This study aims to test the hypothesis that edaphic factors are more important in explaining variations in soil microbial communities than climatic and biotic factors, as soils directly provide substrates and environment for soil microbial communities. Location Tibetan alpine grasslands and global terrestrial biomes. Methods On the basis of phospholipid fatty acid ( PLFA ) analysis, we investigated large‐scale patterns and drivers of soil microbial communities using data obtained from 196 sites within two major grassland types (alpine steppe and alpine meadow) on the Tibetan Plateau. We also explored global patterns of soil microbial communities by analysing published data from around the world. Results Soil microbial PLFA s in Tibetan alpine grasslands were positively associated with mean annual temperature and mean annual precipitation ( MAP ), contradicting patterns previously observed across global biomes. A combined stepwise regression and variation partitioning analysis revealed that soil microbial community variations in Tibetan alpine grasslands were mainly explained by edaphic factors, such as soil organic carbon, C : N ratio, pH and soil texture, then by biotic factors, such as aboveground biomass and plant species richness, and further by climatic factors, such as MAP . The global analysis confirmed that edaphic factors accounted for a greater portion of the variation in soil microbial communities than did climatic and biotic variables. Main conclusions These results provide strong support for the hypothesis that edaphic factors are the dominant drivers of spatial variations in soil microbial communities across regional and global scales.

Metagenomic analysis of anammox communities in three different microbial aggregates - Jianhua Guo; Yongzhen Peng; Lu Fan; Liang Zhang; Bing‐Jie Ni; Boran Kartal; Xin Feng; Mike S. M. Jetten; Zhiguo Yuan (Environmental Microbiology, 2016)
Summary There is great potential to understand the functional diversity of microorganisms that are involved in waste water treatment through metagenomic analyses. This study presents the first metagenomic comparison of taxonomic and functional profiles of the microbial communities occurring in different aggregates from anaerobic ammonium‐oxidizing (anammox) bioreactors. The anammox bacterial communities in both biofilm and granule sludge samples showed relatively high abundance and diversity compared with floccular sludge. Four of the five known genera of anammox bacteria were detected in the three cultures except Candidatus Jettenia, which was absent in the granules. C andidatus K uenenia comprised the major population of anammox bacteria in these three sludges, independent of their growth morphologies. The genome assembled for the C andidatus K uenenia in the granule was very similar to the published reference genome of C andidatus K . stuttgartiensis. Genes involved in the metabolism of the anammox process were highly detected in the biofilm and granule sludges. In particular, the abundance of hydrazine synthase gene ( hzs ) in the biofilm was around 486 times more pronounced than that in the granules. The knowledge gained in this study highlights an important role of sludge aggregate in affecting community structure and metabolic potential of anammox systems.

Global Drivers of Russian Timber Harvest - Sai Liang; Sen Guo; Joshua P. Newell; Shen Qu; Yu Feng; Anthony S.F. Chiu; Ming Xu (Journal of Industrial Ecology, 2016)
Summary Russian forest resources are important for global carbon cycling. In contrast to traditional analyses that focus on the harvest and direct use of Russian timber resources (a.k.a. production‐based accounting), this study investigates how the consumption of nations drives Russian timber harvest (a.k.a. consumption‐based accounting or the Russian timber footprint). China is the biggest direct importer and final consumer of Russian timber. The United States, Japan, and major European countries directly import relatively small amounts of Russian timber, but serve to drive large amounts of Russian timber harvest through their final consumption. Through structural path analysis, individual supply chain paths are delineated to show linkages between Russian timber harvest and the final consumption of nations. Findings of this study inform consumption‐side measures for Russian forest conservation, for example, taking shared responsibility and improving the production efficiency of key sectors in consuming nations.

High‐resolution scanning XRF investigation of Chinese loess and its implications for millennial‐scale monsoon variability - Youbin Sun; Lianji Liang; Jan Bloemendal; Ying Li; Feng Wu; Zhengquan Yao; Yanguang Liu (Journal of Quaternary Science, 2016)
Millennial‐scale monsoon variability has been investigated intensively using loess‐based proxies; however, the amplitude and rhythms of millennial‐scale signals have seldom been disentangled from the background glacial–interglacial changes. Here we present the results of high‐resolution scanning X‐ray fluorescence analysis of a 75‐m‐thick loess sequence from the north‐western Chinese Loess Plateau to address glacial–interglacial to millennial monsoon variability over the last two climatic cycles. Variations of the Si/K, Fe/K and Ca/K ratios are separated spectrally into low‐ and high‐frequency components corresponding to glacial–interglacial and millennial‐scale monsoon variability, respectively. The results indicate that the three elemental ratios exhibit similar glacial–interglacial variability but with varying spectral densities at the 100‐, 41‐ and 23‐kyr periodicities. Millennial‐scale variability is quite similar between the three elemental ratios, and comparable to those inferred from records of Chinese speleothem δ 18 O, Greenland palaeotemperature and North Atlantic cooling events. Comparison of various proxies indicates the broad similar magnitudes of abrupt climate changes, at least during the last two glacial–interglacial cycles, whereas the timing and amplitude of abrupt climatic events are not well correlated. We suggest that refinement of loess chronology and intensive data‐model integration in the future are critical to decipher the characteristics and dynamics of rapid monsoon changes.

Permian back‐arc extension in central Inner Mongolia, NE China: Elemental and Sr–Nd–Pb–Hf–O isotopic constraints from the Linxi high‐MgO diabase dikes - Jingyan Li; Feng Guo; Chaowen Li; Liang Zhao; Miwei Huang (Island Arc, 2015)
Early Permian (272 ± 2 Ma) diabase dikes from the Linxi area in central Inner Mongolia of NE China have high MgO (10.4 – 12.3 wt%), Cr (301 – 448 ppm) and Ni (167 – 233 ppm) concentrations, and show enrichments in large ion lithophile element (LILE) and light rare earth elements (REE) but depletions in high field strength element (HFSE, e.g., Nb and Ta), with depleted mantle‐type Sr [ 87 Sr/ 86 Sr (i) = 0.70315 – 0.70362], Nd [ε Nd (t) = +6.8 – +7.4], Pb [ 206 Pb/ 204 Pb (i) = 18.10 – 18.16] and zircon Hf [ε Hf (t) = +14.7 – +19.1] isotopic compositions, but slightly higher zircon δ 18 O (5.2 – 6.0 ‰ with an average of 5.7 ‰) than normal mantle. The combined geochemical data indicate their derivation from a depleted mantle metasomatized by recycled crustal component. Elemental and isotopic modeling results suggest that the primary magma was produced through 5 % to 10 % melting of a depleted mantle, which contained approximately 1 % sediment fluid released from the subducted paleo‐Asian Ocean. Considering the widespread distribution of contemporaneous mafic rocks across the central Inner Mongolia, which show REE patterns from E‐MORBs to normal MORBs, we propose a petrogenetic link between the Early Permian mafic magmatism and a back‐arc extension in response to northward subduction of the paleo‐Asian Ocean. The Permian mafic magmatism and the new age constraints from the metamorphic and sedimentary records in this area tend to indicate the ultimate closure of the paleo‐Asian Ocean by the end of Paleozoic.

Plant stomatal closure improves aphid feeding under elevated CO 2 - Yucheng Sun; Huijuan Guo; Liang Yuan; Jianing Wei; Wenhao Zhang; Feng Ge (Global Change Biology, 2015)
Stomata help plants regulate CO 2 absorption and water vapor release in response to various environmental changes, and plants decrease their stomatal apertures and enhance their water status under elevated CO 2 . Although the bottom‐up effect of elevated CO 2 on insect performance has been extensively studied, few reports have considered how insect fitness is altered by elevated CO 2 ‐induced changes in host plant water status. We tested the hypothesis that aphids induce stomatal closure and increase host water potential, which facilitates their passive feeding, and that this induction can be enhanced by elevated CO 2 . Our results showed that aphid infestation triggered the abscisic acid ( ABA ) signaling pathway to decrease the stomatal apertures of Medicago truncatula , which consequently decreased leaf transpiration and helped maintain leaf water potential. These effects increased xylem‐feeding time and decreased hemolymph osmolarity, which thereby enhanced phloem‐feeding time and increased aphid abundance. Furthermore, elevated CO 2 up‐regulated an ABA ‐independent enzyme, carbonic anhydrase, which led to further decrease in stomatal aperture for aphid‐infested plants. Thus, the effects of elevated CO 2 and aphid infestation on stomatal closure synergistically improved the water status of the host plant. The results indicate that aphid infestation enhances aphid feeding under ambient CO 2 and that this enhancement is increased under elevated CO 2 .
