Adaptive Network Design for Multiple Gliders Observation of Mesoscale Eddy - Zhanwen Gao; Ge Chen; Yang Song; Jie Zheng; Chunyong Ma (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
With its excellent endurance, good maneuverability and track controllability, glider has become one of the important equipment to obtain ocean field data. The network observation of multiple gliders will be the main approach of ocean observation in the future. However, how to plan the glider path in a reasonable way and how to design the optimal observation network consisting of multiple gliders in an eddy have not been well solved. As an effort to tackle this problem, an adaptive network design algorithm for multiple gliders in mesoscale eddies observation which referred as “Optimal Sampling” is proposed in this paper. Simulation experiments of tracking a target eddy in the South China Sea (SCS) show that the proposed algorithm cannot only realize the adaptive network design for multiple gliders, but also ensure the uniform sampling inside the eddy. Compared with the traditional method which samples eddy along a fixed path, the observation data obtained by the solution proposed in this paper are more valuable to describe the essential temperature characteristics of eddies. The residual errors computed from the interpolation of the sampled field is also smaller.

Phytoplankton Species Diversity Patterns and Associated Driving Factors in China’s Jiulong River Estuary: Roles That Nutrients and Nutrient Ratios Play - Feiyang Ge; Zhiyuan Ma; Bin Chen; Yu Wang; Xiaoqian Lu; Shenqun An; Dian Zhang; Wanting Zhang; Weiwei Yu; Wenxuan Han; Xingguang Yu; Zhenghua Liu; et al. (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Understanding diversity patterns and associated driving factors are the critical topics in macroecology and conservation biology. Phytoplankton are highly susceptible to environmental changes in estuaries, particularly eutrophication. This study examined phytoplankton alpha and beta diversity using investigation data in May (springtime), August (summer) and November (autumn) 2009 in China’s Jiulong River estuary, where it was easily polluted because of considerable discharge from a highly dense human population and low self-purification capacity with its limited river basin area, potentially resulting in eutrophication and then influencing phytoplankton diversity. Potential influencing factors were also explored, including dissolved oxygen, salinity, nutrients, nutrient ratios, geographic and hydrologic distance, and so on. The results indicated that Shannon’s index ( H’ ) and Pielou’s index ( J ) decreased from the estuary’s upper to middle and then increased from middle to lower reaches, Simpson’s ( D ) observed the opposite trend and species number ( S ) gradually increased from the estuary’s upper to lower reaches. For beta diversity, all the indices showed a gradual decrease trend from the estuary’s upper to lower reaches, where also, turnover dominated beta diversity for all seasons. It is noteworthy that the significant roles that nutrients and nutrient ratios played in shaping phytoplankton diversity patterns and the nutrient balance were characterized by excess nitrogen (N) and silicon (Si) and limited phosphorus (P), which could potentially cause diatom blooms. Findings also showed that decreasing Si concentrations can help to reduce overall pollution levels as well as the restoration of the estuary’s ecosystem better than just reducing N alone. Accordingly, this study advocates for the protection of the entire estuary system with particular emphasis on its upper reaches. Moreover, greater attention should also be paid to impacts associated with N input and nutrient ratio trade-offs to the prospective watershed management of this estuary. This study provides a practical approach to explore estuarine diversity in a comprehensive way, which can inform effective biodiversity conservation and also be applied to other marine ecosystems to better guide sustainable management and conservation practices.

Combined Effects of Microplastics and Benzo[a]pyrene on the Marine Diatom Chaetoceros muelleri - Yuanyuan Su; Huaiyuan Qi; Yipeng Hou; Mengyi Gao; Jie Li; Minggang Cai; Xiaoshan Zhu; Miao Chen; Chengjun Ge; Dongdong Fu; Zezheng Wang; Licheng Peng (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Microplastics are regarded as ubiquitous pollutants in the ocean and have attracted worldwide concerns. Benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P), one of typical polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), is commonly detected in marine environment. Once coexisted, the microplastics and B[a]P may interact with each other and result in combined toxicity to organisms, and these remain to be systematically elucidated. Thus, this study aims to investigate (i) the effects of single micro-sized polystyrene (mPS), polyethylene terephthalate (mPET), and B[a]P on cell growth of Chaetoceros muelleri ; and (ii) the interaction of microplastics and B[a]P, and their combined effects on C. muelleri . The results showed that both single microplastics and B[a]P at a high concentration of 150 μg/L inhibited the growth of C. muelleri . For single treatment of microplastics, stronger inhibition effects on microalgae was caused by mPET than that of mPS, with the highest IR of 25.23 and 11.17%, respectively. This may be attributed to the obvious surface roughness of mPET. By comparison, the combined effects of microplastics and B[a]P significantly inhibited the growth of C. muelleri as compared with the single treatment of B[a]P ( P < 0.05). Synergistic effect was found in the combination of microplastics with B[a]P at high concentrations of 150 μg/L. Interestingly, the antagonistic effect on C. muelleri was observed in the combined treatment of microplastics and B[a]P at low concentrations of 10 μg/L. In addition, the pollutants reduced the content of photosynthetic pigments in microalgal cells. The SOD and MDA content of microalgae increased in the early stage of exposure to pollutants (e.g., Days 1 and 5), but decreased in the later stage (Day 15) compared with the control group. The decreased superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activity in single and composite systems may indicate that the antioxidative enzymatic system of microalgae has been inhibited or destroyed. This study will be helpful to further explore the ecological threats of microplastics and PAHs to the marine ecosystem.

A Physics-Informed Neural Network for the Prediction of Unmanned Surface Vehicle Dynamics - Peng-Fei Xu; Chen-Bo Han; Hong-Xia Cheng; Chen Cheng; Tong Ge (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
A three-degrees-of-freedom model, including surge, sway and yaw motion, with differential thrusters is proposed to describe unmanned surface vehicle (USV) dynamics in this study. The experiment is carried out in the Qing Huai River and the data obtained from different zigzag trajectories are filtered by a Gaussian filtering method. A physics-informed neural network (PINN) is proposed to identify the dynamic models of the USV. PINNs combine the advantages of data-driven machine learning and physical models. They can also embed the speed and steering models into the loss function, which can significantly retain all types of information. Compared with traditional neural networks, the results show that the PINN has better generalization ability in predicting the surge and sway velocities and rotation speed with only limited training data.

Study on Buried Depth Protection Index of Submarine Cable Based on Physical and Numerical Modeling - Xinlong Zheng; Yongqiang Ge; Zhifei Lu; Chen Cao; Peng Zhou; Shiqiang Li; Jiawang Chen (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
The buried depth of submarine cables is very important to avoid damage on the cable from dropping and dragging anchors. This study focused on the actual engineering needs of submarine power cable protection and laying construction. In order to investigate the buried depth protection index of submarine cable, physical model tests, theory analysis, and numerical simulations were conducted in this study. The effects of the bottoming velocity, dropping energy, and anchor mass on the anchor penetration depth were analyzed and investigated. The analytical model based on the impact and drag mechanism is presented to analyze the forces and energy on the anchor. The accuracy and reliable of the model test results are verified by the theory analysis and numerical simulation, indicating that the buried depth protection index of the submarine cable in the research area is recommended to be 3 m. The research results can provide guidance for operation of the submarine cable laying machine and submarine cable protection.

Identification of key gene networks controlling vernalization development characteristics of Isatis indigotica by full-length transcriptomes and gene expression profiles - Pan Wang; Dong Liu; Fu-Hong Yang; Hui Ge; Xin Zhao; Hong-Gang Chen; Tao Du (Physiology and Molecular Biology of Plants, 2021)
Isatis indigotica Fort . , as a common Chinese medicinal raw material, will lose its medicinal value if it blooms early, so it is highly valuable to clarify the induction mechanism of the vernalization of I. indigotica at low temperature. In this study, the concentrations of soluble sugar, proline, glutathione and zeatin in two germplasms of I. indigotica with different degrees of low temperature tolerance (Y1 and Y2) were determined at 10 days, 20 days and 30 days of low-temperature treatment, and the full-length transcriptome of 24 samples was sequenced by Nanopore sequencing with Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT). After that, the data of transcripts involved in the vernalization of I. indigotica at low temperature were obtained, and these transcripts were identified using weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA). The results revealed the massive accumulation of soluble sugar and proline in Y1 and Y2 after low temperature induction. A total of 18,385 new transcripts, 6168 transcription factors and 470 lncRNAs were obtained. Differential expression analysis showed that gibberellin, flavonoids, fatty acids and some processes related to low temperature response were significantly enriched. Eight key transcripts were identified by WGCNA, among which ONT.14640.1, ONT.9119.1, ONT.13080.2 and ONT.16007.1 encodes a flavonoid transporter, 9-cis-epoxycarotenoid dioxygenase 3 (NCED3), growth factor gene and L-aspartate oxidase in plants, respectively . It indicated that secondary metabolites such as hormones and flavonoids play an important role in the vernalization of I. indigotica . qRT-PCR proved the reliability of transcriptome results. These results provide important insights on the low-temperature vernalization of I. indigotica , and provide a research basis for analyzing the vernalization mechanism of I. indigotica .

Controls of Wind-Driven Jet on the Distribution of Pelagic Cnidarians in the Midwestern South China Sea - Ruping Ge; Hongju Chen; Ling Li; Guangxing Liu; Bangqin Huang; Lisha Wang; Yunyun Zhuang; Xin Liu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
The coastal water transported by the combined action of southwest wind jet and anticyclonic eddy substantially influences the biological processes in the midwestern South China Sea. However, how the wind-driven jet affects the zooplankton community remains unclear. In this study, the species number, abundance, and vertical distribution of medusae were investigated in the wind-driven jet (WJR) and non-wind-driven jet regions (NWJR). The low-salinity and nutrient-rich coastal water substantially influenced species composition, abundance, and vertical distribution of medusae in the WJR. The species number of the meroplanktonic hydromedusae in the WJR was approximately twice that in the NWJR due to the horizontal transport of wind-driven jets. The abundances of holoplanktonic hydromedusae in WJR were 38.2 ± 9.3 ind⋅m –3 , which were thrice of that in the NWJR regions, caused by the abundant diet in the WJR. Additionally, only the abundance of medusae above the thermocline was affected by the coastal water in WJR, while these showed no significant difference below the thermocline between the WJR and the NWJR. Generalized additive model analyses suggested that the diet was the most important factor affecting the abundance of the holoplanktonic hydromedusae and siphonophore, whereas meroplanktonic hydromedusae were influenced by the combination of temperature, salinity, and diet.

Isolation of a novel adomavirus from cultured American eels, Anguilla rostrata , with haemorrhagic gill necrosis disease - Jin‐Xian Yang; Xi Chen; Ying‐Ying Li; Tie‐Ying Song; Jun‐Qing Ge (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2021)
Recently, the culture of American eels (Anguilla rostrate) in China has been impacted by emergence of a disease with signs of haemorrhagic gill necrosis. The gills of diseased eels are covered with petecchia and they bleed when the operculum is pressed. In this study, a novel American eel adomavirus (AEAdoV) was isolated from the diseased eels using the eel ovary cell line (EO). The virus proliferated in the EO cells with a maximum TCID 50 /ml of 10 6.29 ± 0.23 at 6 days post‐infection. The virions were non‐enveloped with a diameter of 75–85 nm and shown to be a DNA virus upon 5‐iodo‐2’‐deoxyuridine (IDU) treatment. PCR assays showed that AEAdoV encodes a superfamily 3 helicases (S3H) replicase and shared high similarities with Anguilla marmorata adomavirus (MEAdoV). Although no clinical signs or mortality was observed among the eels injected with AEAdoV, the virus was reisolated from livers, kidneys and gills of injected eels at 35 days post‐injection. Our results suggested that AEAdoV exhibited a latent infection in A. rostrata . The pathogenicity of the AEAdoV needs to be confirmed further.

Data-Driven Mapping With Prediction Neural Network for the Future Wide-Swath Satellite Altimetry - Jiankai Di; Chunyong Ma; Ge Chen (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Two-dimensional mapping of sea surface height (SSH) for future wide-swath satellite altimetry (WSA) is a challenge at present. So far, considering the utilization of data-driven methods is a new researching direction for SSH mapping. In general, the data-driven mapping methods rely on the spatial-temporal relationship of the observations. These methods require training in large volumes, and the time cost is high, especially for the WSA observations. This paper proposed the prediction neural networks for mapping (Mapping-PNN) method to improve the training efficiency and maintain stable data and mapping capabilities. By 10-year wide-swath satellite along track observing system simulation experiments (OSSEs) on the HYCOM data, the experiment results indicate that the method introduced in this paper can improve the training efficiency and meet the grid mapping expectations. Compared with other methods, the root mean squared error (RMSE) of the mapping-PNN method can be limited within the range of ~1.8 cm, and the new method can promote the observation of the ocean phenomena scale with < ~40 km, which reaches state of the art.

Active Carbon Flux of Mesozooplankton in South China Sea and Western Philippine Sea - Ruping Ge; Hongju Chen; Yunyun Zhuang; Guangxing Liu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
The active carbon flux mediated by diel vertical migration (DVM) of zooplankton is an important component of the downward carbon flux in the ocean. However, active fluxes transported by zooplankton DVM are poorly known in the South China Sea (SCS) and the Western Philippine Sea (WPS). In this study, active carbon fluxes in the SCS and WPS were evaluated on the basis of the data of mesozooplankton community and DVM at two stations of these areas. The mesozooplankton community in the SCS was obviously different from that in the WPS, and higher species number and abundance in the SCS were observed, which may be related to the higher chlorophyll a (Chl a ) concentration and the wide gradients of temperature and salinity in this sea. Moreover, shallow depth Chl a maximum and strong thermocline were detected in the SCS, causing lower migration amplitudes of mesozooplankton in the SCS than those in the WPS. However, the migrant biomass of mesozooplankton in the SCS was 98.40 mg C m –2 , higher than that in the WPS at 25.12 mg C m –2 . The mesozooplankton active carbon flux in the SCS (4.64 mg C m –2 ⋅d –1 ) was also higher than that in the WPS (1.80 mg C m –2 ⋅d –1 ). The mesozooplankton active fluxes were equivalent to 8.3 and 8.1% of the total flux (active flux plus passive flux) of the SCS and WPS, respectively, and they play an important role in the biological pump functioning in the two regions.

Sensor Placement with Two-Dimensional Equal Arc Length Non-Uniform Sampling for Underwater Terrain Deformation Monitoring - Chunying Xu; Junwei Hu; Jiawang Chen; Yongqiang Ge; Ruixin Liang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
Sensor placement plays an important role in terrain deformation monitoring systems and has an essential effect on data collection. The difficulty of sensor placement entails obtaining the most adequate and reliable information with the fewest number of sensors. Most sensor placement schemes are currently based on randomized non-uniform sampling and probability statistics, such as structural modality and optimization methods, which are difficult to directly apply due to the randomness and spatial heterogeneity of terrain deformation. In this study, the placement conditions of two-dimensional non-uniform sampling with equal arc length were deduced for underwater terrain deformation monitoring based on the MEMS accelerometer network. In order to completely reconstruct the underwater terrain, the arc length interval of the sensors should be less than 12Ω (Ω is the maximum frequency of the detected terrain). The maximum MRE and maximum RMSE were both less than seven percent in a terrain deformation monitoring experiment and a water tank test. The research results help technicians apply contact sensor arrays for underwater terrain monitoring.

Establishment of a visualized isothermal nucleic acid amplification method for on‐site diagnosis of acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease in shrimp farm - Xiaohan Yang; Yu Dong; Chao Ma; Yi Qiao; Ge Jiang; Shiqi Chen; Jingquan Dong; Hui Shen; Song Gao (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2021)
Acute hepatopancreatic necrosis disease (AHPND) is a significant deadly infectious disease in the shrimp farming industry, causing serious economic losses globally every year. Because of the rapid progress speed, lack of effective treatment and high mortality rate of AHPND, monitoring with frequent diagnostic tests is vital for a successful prevention. The conventional histopathological diagnosis fell far short of the requirement for efficient monitoring, and the polymerase chain reaction (PCR)‐based molecular diagnostic methods that rely on sophisticated thermocycler and trained personnel are hardly applicable in the field. Combining the recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) and the lateral flow strips (LFSs), a diagnostic method suitable for on‐site everyday monitoring of AHPND has been established in this study. This RPA‐LFS method targeted the binary toxic photorhabdus insect‐related genes PirA and PirB on a virulence plasmid of the AHPND‐causative Vibrio parahaemolyticus strains. The diagnostic test was completed within 30 min at 37°C and showed good specificity and good sensitivity of 20 fg DNA of the AHPND shrimp or one colony‐forming unit of the causative bacterium per reaction, which was better than the administration‐approved standard AP4 assay. Crude templates from sample boiling could be directly used. Tests of clinical samples showed 100% consistency of this method with the standard AP4 assay. This RPA‐LFS method can be a good choice for on‐site diagnosis of AHPND with quick response time, easy procedure and low demand for resources, and should have significant value for the control of spreading of this dangerous disease in farmed shrimp.

Exogenous Glutathione Alleviates Cadmium Toxicity in Wheat by Influencing the Absorption and Translocation of Cadmium - Ge-Zi Li; Shi-Juan Chen; Na-Ying Li; Ying-Ying Wang; Guo-Zhang Kang (Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 2021)
Cadmium (Cd), a toxic heavy metal, is harmful to plants and human health. Glutathione (GSH) could alleviate Cd toxicity of plant species, whereas its mechanism responsible for wheat remains poorly understood. Here, we found that exogenous GSH application significantly increased the fresh and dry weight, root elongation, chlorophyll contents, while decreased the contents of malondialdehyde (MDA) and GSH, and translocation factor of Cd compared with Cd treatment. Moreover, GSH application significantly increased activities of antioxidant enzymes and expression of related genes, which involved in GSH synthesis, especially in roots. In addition, we found that GSH application suppressed Cd-induced expression of metal transporter genes TaNramp1 , TaNramp5 , TaHMA2 , TaHMA3 , TaLCT1 and TaIRT2 in roots. Taken together, our results suggested that GSH could alleviate Cd toxicity in wheat by increasing GSH synthesis gene expression or suppressing Cd transporter genes expression, and further affecting Cd uptake and translocation in wheat plants.

A Glider Simulation Model Based on Optimized Support Vector Regression for Efficient Coordinated Observation - Fangjie Yu; Zhiyuan Zhuang; Jie Yang; Ge Chen (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Multi-gliders have been widely deployed as an array in nowadays ocean observation for fine and long-term ocean research, especially in deep-sea exploration. However, the strong, variable ocean currents and the delayed information feedback of gliders are remaining huge challenges for the deployment of glider arrays which may cause that the observed data cannot meet the study needs and bring a prohibitive cost. In this paper, we develop a Glider Simulation Model (GSM) based on the support vector regression with the particle swarm optimization (PSO)-SVR algorithm to integrate the information feedback from gliders and ocean current data for rapid modeling to effectively predict the gliders’ trajectories. Based on the real-time predictive information of the trajectories, each glider can select future movement strategies. We utilize the in-suit datasets obtained by sea-wing gliders in ocean observation to train and test the simulation model. The results show that GSM has an effective and stable performance. The information obtained from the modeling approaches can be utilized for the optimization of the deployment of the glider arrays.

A hydraulic jet submarine cable laying machine manages to bury the submarine cables deep into the seabed, and effectively reduces the occurrence of external damage to the submarine cables. This machine uses a hydraulic jet system to realize trenching on the seabed. However, the hydraulic jet submarine cable laying machine has complicated operation and high power consumption with high requirements on the mother ship, and it is not yet the mainstream trenching method. In this paper, a mathematical model for the hydraulic jet nozzle of the submarine cable laying machine is established, and parameters that affect the trenching efficiency are studied. The effects of jet target distance, flow, angle and nozzle spacing on the working efficiency of the burying machine are analyzed by setting up a double-nozzle model. The results of the theory, numerical simulation and experiment show that the operational efficiency of the hydraulic jet submarine cable laying machine can be distinctly improved by setting proper jet conditions and parameters.

Contrasting pathways of carbon sequestration in paddy and upland soils - Xiangbi Chen; Yajun Hu; Yinhang Xia; Shengmeng Zheng; Chong Ma; Yichao Rui; Hongbo He; Daoyou Huang; Zhenhua Zhang; Tida Ge; Jinshui Wu; Georg Guggenberger; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2021)
Paddy soils make up the largest anthropogenic wetlands on earth, and are characterized by a prominent potential for organic carbon (C) sequestration. By quantifying the plant‐ and microbial‐derived C in soils across four climate zones, we identified that organic C accrual is achieved via contrasting pathways in paddy and upland soils. Paddies are 39%–127% more efficient in soil organic C (SOC) sequestration than their adjacent upland counterparts, with greater differences in warmer than cooler climates. Upland soils are more replenished by microbial‐derived C, whereas paddy soils are enriched with a greater proportion of plant‐derived C, because of the retarded microbial decomposition under anaerobic conditions induced by the flooding of paddies. Under both land‐use types, the maximal contribution of plant residues to SOC is at intermediate mean annual temperature (15–20°C), neutral soil (pH~7.3), and low clay/sand ratio. By contrast, high temperature (~24°C), low soil pH (~5), and large clay/sand ratio are favorable for strengthening the contribution of microbial necromass. The greater contribution of microbial necromass to SOC in waterlogged paddies in warmer climates is likely due to the fast anabolism from bacteria, whereas fungi are unlikely to be involved as they are aerobic. In the scenario of land‐use conversion from paddy to upland, a total of 504 Tg C may be lost as CO 2 from paddy soils (0–15 cm) solely in eastern China, with 90% released from the less protected plant‐derived C. Hence, preserving paddy systems and other anthropogenic wetlands and increasing their C storage through sustainable management are critical for maintaining global soil C stock and mitigating climate change.

Global Oceanic Eddy Identification: A Deep Learning Method From Argo Profiles and Altimetry Data - Xiaoyan Chen; Ge Chen; Linyao Ge; Baoxiang Huang; Chuanchuan Cao (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
The inadequate spatial resolution of altimeter results in low identification efficiency of oceanic eddies, especially for small-scale eddies. It is well known that eddies can not only induce sea surface signal but more importantly have typical vertical structure characteristics. However, although the vertical structure characteristics are usually used for statistical analysis, they are seldom considered in the process of eddy recognition. This study is devoted to identifying eddies from the perspective of their vertical signal derived from the 18-year Argo data. Due to the irregular and noisy profile pattern, the direct identification of eddy core from Argo profile is deemed to be a challenge. With the popularity of artificial intelligence, a new hybrid method that combines the advantages of convolutional neural network (CNN) with extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) is proposed to extract the representative vertical feature and identify eddy from a profile. First, CNN is employed as a feature extractor to automatically obtain vertical features from the input profile at the bottom of the network. Second, the obtained high-dimensional feature vectors are inputted into the XGBoost model, combined with other profile features for classifying profiles that are outside altimeter-identified eddies (Alt eddy). Finally, extensive experiments are implemented to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method. The results show that the classification accuracy of CNN-XGBoost model can reach 98%, and about 36% eddies are recaptured. These eddies, dubbed CNN-XGB eddies, are benchmarked against Alt eddies for the vertical structure and geographical distribution, demonstrating a similar or even stronger vertical signal and a prominent eddy belt in the tropical ocean. Within the proposed theory framework, there are various potentials to obtain a better outlook for eddy identification and in situ float observations.

The drivers of multiple dimensions of stream macroinvertebrate beta diversity across a large montane landscape - Zhengfei Li; Jani Heino; Zhenyuan Liu; Xingliang Meng; Xiao Chen; Yihao Ge; Zhicai Xie (Limnology and Oceanography, 2021)
Environmental filtering and spatial processes have been associated with variation in ecological communities and biodiversity; however, their relative importance on multiple dimensions of beta diversity has not been fully explored in montane streams. Here, we examined the relative contribution of local, catchment and climate environmental variables and spatial factors to variation in three dimensions of macroinvertebrate beta diversity in the upper Han River Basin. Taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic beta diversities and their respective turnover and nestedness components were calculated for macroinvertebrate assemblages sampled in a total of 130 stream sites across a large mountainous landscape. We investigated the correlations between beta diversity facets using MSR‐Mantel procedure and then examined the relative influence of each set of ecological factors through redundancy analysis and variance partitioning. Our results revealed relatively low spatial congruence among beta diversity dimensions, indicating these diversity dimensions are independent measures which offer complementary information of community assembly. Beta diversity dimensions and components were best explained by spatial and local environmental factors, whereas the large‐scale catchment and climate factors appeared less influential. Moreover, spatial and environmental factors generally exerted different controls on beta diversity depending on the dimensions under consideration. Taxonomic and phylogenetic beta diversities were more strongly determined by spatial factors via dispersal limitation, while functional beta diversity was mainly associated to local environments through habitat filtering. Our results challenge the perspective that using one diversity facet as a surrogate for others is enough, and highlight the need to integrate multiple diversity dimensions in metacommunity and biodiversity research.

Heterosis-associated genes confer high yield in super hybrid rice - Tianzi Lin; Cong Zhou; Gaoming Chen; Jun Yu; Wei Wu; Yuwei Ge; Xiaolan Liu; Jin Li; Xingzhou Jiang; Weijie Tang; Yunlu Tian; Zhigang Zhao; et al. (Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 2020)
Key message Heterosis QTLs, including qSS7 and qHD8, with dominance effects were identified through GBS and large-scale phenotyping of CSSLs and hybrid F 1 populations in a paddy field. Abstract Heterosis has contributed immensely to agricultural production, but its genetic basis is unclear. We evaluated dominance effects by creating two hybrid populations: a B-homo set with a homozygous background and heterozygous chromosomal segments and a B-heter set with a heterozygous background and homozygous segments. This was achieved by crossing a set of 156 backcrossed-derived chromosome segment substitution lines (CSSLs) with their recurrent parent (9311), the male parent of the first super-high-yield hybrid Liangyoupei9 (LYP9), and with the female parent (PA64s) of the hybrid. The CSSLs were subjected to a genotyping-by-sequencing analysis to develop a genetic map of segments introduced from the PA64s. We evaluated the heterotic effects on eight yield-related traits in the hybrid variety and F 1 populations in large-scale field experiments over 2 years. Using a linkage map consisting of high-density SNPs, we identified heterosis-associated genes in LYP9. Five candidate genes contributed to the high yield of LYP9, with qSS7 and qHD8 repeatedly detected in both B-hybrid populations. The heterozygous segments harboring qSS7 and qHD8 showed dominance effects that contributed to the heterosis of yield components in the hybrid rice variety Liangyoupei9.

Relationship between the thermal condition of the Tibetan Plateau and precipitation over the region from eastern Ukraine to North Caucasus during summer - Junming Chen; Xiaoyuan Yue; Ge Liu; Sulan Nan (Theoretical and Applied Climatology, 2020)
Remarkable climate anomalies occurred in Europe in recent years, but the reasons are not entirely disclosed. This entails further exploring the physical mechanism of anomalous climate variability over Europe on the basis of previous studies. Using NCEP-NCAR reanalysis and CMAP precipitation datasets, we investigated the relationship between the thermal condition of the Tibetan Plateau (TP) and precipitation over Europe during summer and related mechanisms behind through observational analyses and simulation experiments. The results show that the summer TP surface air temperature (SAT) is significantly correlated with the simultaneous precipitation over the region from eastern Ukraine to the North Caucasus (EUNC; 43°–51° N, 34°–46° E) during the period 1979–2017. The effect of anomalous TP heating plays, to some extent, an active role in linking the summer TP SAT with EUNC precipitation. The variability of the TP SAT is a result of the anomalous TP heating, but it can reflect the variability in temperature of a thick tropospheric air column over the TP well. Corresponding to higher (lower) TP SAT, the higher (lower) temperature anomaly appears over the TP and extends westwards through the transport of anomalous temperature fluxes from the TP to the EUNC regions in the upper troposphere, resulting in the expansion (withdrawal) of the South Asian high (SAH) and associated less (more) precipitation over the EUNC region. Numerical simulations basically reproduce the above-mentioned physical process, which confirms that, through stimulating the variability of upper-tropospheric temperatures over the TP and a larger area to its west and associated upstream large-scale atmospheric circulation, the summer TP’s thermal condition can modulate and expand the impact of the SAH to the EUNC region and therefore affect the concurrent precipitation in situ. This study implies an importance of the thermal anomaly of the TP to the variability of EUNC precipitation during summer.

Main conclusion An improved CRISPR/Cas9 system with the Arabidopsis UBQ10 promoter-driven Cas9 exhibits consistently high mutation efficiency in Arabidopsis and M. truncatula. Abstract CRISPR/Cas9 is a powerful genome editing technology that has been applied in several crop species for trait improvement due to its simplicity, versatility, and specificity. However, the mutation efficiency of CRISPR/Cas9 in Arabidopsis and M. truncatula (Mt) is still challenging and inconsistent. To analyze the functionality of the CRISPR/Cas9 system in two model dicot species, four different promoter-driven Cas9 systems to target phytoene desaturase ( PDS ) genes were designed. Agrobacterium -mediated transformation was used for the delivery of constructed vectors to host plants. Phenotypic and genotypic analyses revealed that the Arabidopsis UBQ10 promoter-driven Cas9 significantly improves the mutation efficiency to 95% in Arabidopsis and 70% in M. truncatula. Moreover, the UBQ10-Cas9 system yielded 11% homozygous mutants in the T1 generation in Arabidopsis. Sequencing analyses of mutation events indicated that single-nucleotide insertions are the most frequent events in Arabidopsis, whereas multi-nucleotide deletions are dominant in bi-allelic and mono-allelic homozygous mutants in M. truncatula. Taken together, the UBQ10 promoter facilitates the best improvement in the CRISPR/Cas9 efficiency in PDS gene editing, followed by the EC1.2 promoter. Consistently, the improved UBQ10-Cas9 vector highly enhanced the mutation efficiency by four-fold over the commonly used 35S promoter in both dicot species.

The diversity of La Niña decay and the corresponding spring and summer precipitation anomalies over eastern China - Shengjie Chen; Zhiwei Zhu; Zian Ge; Zhiming Kang; Jinhai He (International Journal of Climatology, 2019)
The present study investigates the diversity of the La Niña decaying phase and the corresponding spring and summer precipitation anomalies over the eastern China. Based on the differences in sea surface temperature anomaly (SSTA) evolution during the La Niña decaying phase, 18 La Niña events in the period 1961–2016 are classified into three types—namely, the “persistent type” (P‐type), the “re‐intensified type” (R‐type), and the “fast‐decay type” (F‐type). Precipitation responses over eastern China during the decaying spring and summer of the three types of La Niña present significant differences. For the R‐type La Niña decaying spring, the enhanced precipitation appears over northeastern China but significant suppressed precipitation anomalies are observed elsewhere, particularly in Yellow River basin, the Yangtze River basin, and southeastern China. Significant negative precipitation anomaly appears over northeastern China in both P‐type and F‐type La Niña decaying spring. In the decaying summer, for P‐type La Niña, dry anomalies are apparent in southern and northern China. For R‐type La Niña, negative rainfall anomalies are notable in northeastern China, the Hetao region, and the middle reaches of the Yangtze River basin. For F‐type La Niña, significant negative rainfall anomalies are found over the Yangtze River basin and parts of northern China. The responses of the large‐scale circulation anomalies to the distinct SSTA patterns of the different types of La Niña are responsible for the diversity of rainfall anomalies over eastern China. The precipitation anomaly pattern in eastern China is closely associated with the different types of La Niña decay, and it is seasonal‐dependent. These two aspects should be taken into account when conducting seasonal predictions of spring and summer rainfall anomalies over eastern China using El Niño–Southern Oscillation as a predictor.

Ectomycorrhizal fungi inoculation alleviates simulated acid rain effects on soil ammonia oxidizers and denitrifiers in Masson pine forest - Yan Li; Zhan Chen; Ji‐Zheng He; Qing Wang; Congcong Shen; Yuan Ge (Environmental Microbiology, 2019)
Summary Acid rain can cause severe effects on soil biota and nutrient biogeochemical cycles in the forest ecosystem, but how plant‐symbiotic ectomycorrhizal fungi will modulate the effects remains unknown. Here, we conducted a full factorial field experiment in a Masson pine forest by simultaneously controlling the acidity of the simulated rain (pH 5.6 vs. pH 3.5) and the ectomycorrhizal fungi Pisolithus tinctorius inoculation (non‐inoculation vs. inoculation), to investigate the effects on ammonia oxidizers and denitrifiers. After 10 months, compared with the control (rain pH 5.6, and non‐inoculation), simulated acid rain (pH 3.5) reduced soil nutrient content, decreased archaeal amoA gene abundance and inhibited denitrification enzyme activity. Also, simulated acid rain altered the community compositions of all the examined functional genes (archaeal amoA , bacterial amoA , nirK , nirS and nosZ ). However, inoculation with ectomycorrhizal fungi under acid rain stress recovered soil nutrient content, archaeal amoA gene abundance and denitrification enzyme activity to levels comparable to the control, suggesting that ectomycorrhizal fungi inoculation ameliorates simulated acid rain effects. Taken together, ectomycorrhizal fungi inoculation – potentially through improving soil substrate availability – could alleviate the deleterious effects of acid rain on nitrogen cycling microbes in forest soils.

Dependence of 3‐month Standardized Precipitation‐Evapotranspiration Index dryness/wetness sensitivity on climatological precipitation over southwest China - Shanlei Sun; Haishan Chen; Jinjian Li; Jiangfeng Wei; Guojie Wang; Ge Sun; Wenjian Hua; Shujia Zhou; Peng Deng (International Journal of Climatology, 2018)
In this study, we estimated the respective contributions of precipitation and reference evapotranspiration (ET 0 ) to annual SPEI‐3 (3‐month Standardized Precipitation‐Evapotranspiration Index) anomalies over southwest China (SWC) using numerical experiments. Results show that the dominant factor (i.e., precipitation or ET 0 ) for the dryness/wetness anomalies during 1961–2012 existed due to inter‐annual and inter‐decadal changes over SWC, which indicates the underlying mechanisms of dry/wet conditions have changed. On the other hand, we calculate the dryness/wetness sensitivity to precipitation or ET 0 (defined as changes in SPEI‐3 per millimetre) and find that the dryness/wetness sensitivity to ET 0 is higher than that to precipitation for the whole SWC and the overwhelming majority (99%) of the 269 sites. Overall, the above findings imply that the role of ET 0 in the dry/wet condition evolution is vital and should be paid more attentions. For the magnitude of the dryness/wetness sensitivity to precipitation or ET 0 , an evident increase from the southeast to northwest SWC is identified. Based on the analyses of the relationship between dryness/wetness sensitivity and climatological condition (i.e., precipitation, ET 0 , and aridity), the sensitivity magnitude is dependent on climatological precipitation and generally decreases with its increase. This study provides a wealth of quantitative information (e.g., dryness/wetness anomalies [sensitivity] caused by [to] precipitation and ET 0 ) for better understanding the underlying mechanisms of the dry/wet condition evolution.

The relative abundance of alkane‐degrading bacteria oscillated similarly to a sinusoidal curve in an artificial ecosystem model from oil‐well products - Guoqiang Li; Peike Gao; Bo Zhi; Bing Fu; Ge Gao; Zhaohui Chen; Mengli Gao; Mengmeng Wu; Ting Ma (Environmental Microbiology, 2018)
Summary Microbial phylogenetic diversity and species interactions in natural ecosystems have been investigated extensively, but our knowledge about their ecological roles, community dynamics and succession patterns is far from complete. This knowledge is essential to understand the complicated interactions of microorganisms in natural ecosystems. Here, an artificial ecosystem model of microorganisms was constructed from oil‐well products and cultivated in a chemostat to investigate the succession pattern of alkane‐degrading bacteria, a functional population in oil reservoirs. Their abundance was quantified by an improved qPCR technique. Our results showed that the phylogenetic structure of this artificial ecosystem model is stable during most of the chemostat cultivation process, while the genotype structure of alkane‐degrading bacteria containing alk B genes shifted and their relative abundance oscillated similarly to a sinusoidal curve, like the succession pattern of producers in the Lotka–Volterra model. These results suggest that some theoretical frameworks of macroecology may work well in microbial ecosystems and be an efficient tool to understand them.
