A modified support vector machine based prediction model on streamflow at the Shihmen Reservoir, Taiwan - Pei‐Hao Li; Hyun‐Han Kwon; Liqiang Sun; Upmanu Lall; Jehng‐Jung Kao (International Journal of Climatology, 2010)
The uncertainty of the availability of water resources during the boreal winter has led to significant economic losses in recent years in Taiwan. A modified support vector machine (SVM) based prediction framework is thus proposed to improve the predictability of the inflow to Shihmen reservoir in December and January, using climate data from the prior period. Highly correlated climate precursors are first identified and adopted to predict water availability in North Taiwan. A genetic algorithm based parameter determination procedure is implemented to the SVM parameters to learn the non‐linear pattern underlying climate systems more flexibly. Bagging is then applied to construct various SVM models to reduce the variance in the prediction by the median of forecasts from the constructed models. The enhanced prediction ability of the proposed modified SVM‐based model with respect to a bagged multiple linear regression (MLR), simple SVM, and simple MLR model is also demonstrated. The results show that the proposed modified SVM‐based model outperforms the prediction ability of the other models in all of the adopted evaluation scores.

Environmental controls over carbon exchange of three forest ecosystems in eastern China - GUI‐RUI YU; LEI‐MING ZHANG; XIAO‐MIN SUN; YU‐LING FU; XUE‐FA WEN; QIU‐FENG WANG; SHENG‐GONG LI; CHUAN‐YOU REN; XIA SONG; YUN‐FEN LIU; SHI‐JIE HAN; JUN‐HUA YAN (Global Change Biology, 2008)
Net ecosystem productivity (NEP) was continuously measured using the eddy covariance (EC) technique from 2003 to 2005 at three forest sites of ChinaFLUX. The forests include Changbaishan temperate mixed forest (CBS), Qianyanzhou subtropical coniferous plantation (QYZ), and Dinghushan subtropical evergreen broad‐leaved forest (DHS). They span wide ranges of temperature and precipitation and are influenced by the eastern Asian monsoon climate to varying extent. In this study, we estimated ecosystem respiration (RE) and gross ecosystem productivity (GEP). Comparison of ecosystem carbon exchange among the three forests shows that RE was mainly determined by temperature, with the forest at CBS exhibiting the highest temperature sensitivity among the three ecosystems. The RE was highly dependent on GEP across the three forests, and the ratio of RE to GEP decreased along the North–South Transect of Eastern China (NSTEC) (i.e. from the CBS to the DHS), with an average of 0.77 ± 0.06. Daily GEP was mainly influenced by temperature at CBS, whereas photosynthetic photon flux density was the dominant factor affecting the daily GEP at both QYZ and DHS. Temperature mainly determined the pattern of the interannual variations of ecosystem carbon exchange at CBS. However, water availability primarily controlled the interannual variations of ecosystem carbon exchange at QYZ. At DHS, NEP attained the highest values at the beginning of the dry seasons (autumn) rather than the rainy seasons (summer), probably because insufficient radiation and frequent fog during the rainy seasons hindered canopy photosynthesis. All the three forest ecosystems acted as a carbon sink from 2003 to 2005. The annual average values of NEP at CBS, QYZ, and DHS were 259 ± 19, 354 ± 34, and 434 ± 66 g C m −2 yr −1 , respectively. The slope of NEP that decreased with increasing latitude along the NSTEC was markedly different from that observed on the forest transect in the European continent. Long‐term flux measurements over more forest ecosystems along the NSTEC will further help verify such a difference between the European forest transect and the NSTEC and provide insights into the responses of ecosystem carbon exchange to climate change in China.

Mesozoic paleogeography and tectonic evolution of South China Sea and adjacent areas in the context of Tethyan and Paleo‐Pacific interconnections - Di Zhou; Zhen Sun; Han‐zong Chen; He‐hua Xu; Wan‐yin Wang; Xiong Pang; Dong‐sheng Cai; Deng‐ke Hu (Island Arc, 2008)
During the Mesozoic era, the South China Sea and its environs were located at the south‐eastern margin of the Eurasian continent. There has been hot debate on the influences of Tethyan and Paleo‐Pacific tectonics to the Mesozoic evolution of the area. This paper compiles lithofacies maps of six time slices and discusses the paleogeographic and tectonic evolution of the area based on this compilation and other data on structural deformation and magmatism. In the Early Triassic, the Paleotethys Ocean extended eastward to the study area through the Song Da passage. Then a significant east–west differential evolution began. In the Late Triassic, the western area uplifted as a result of the collision between the Indosinian and South China blocks during the Indosinian orogeny, and the Song Da passage has closed since then. Meanwhile, a transgression of Paleo‐Pacific waters occurred in the eastern and south‐eastern portions of the area, forming the ‘East Guangdong–North‐west Borneo Sea’. In the Early Jurassic, seawater transgression was even more pronounced, resulting into the connection of this sea with the Mesotethys Ocean to the west. Large quantities of Tethyan water carrying Tethyan organisms entered the area. In the Middle Jurassic, a short‐lived transgression occurred in the eastern Mesotethys and resulted in the formation of the ‘Yunnan–Burma Sea’. The Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous was the climax of the subduction of both the Mesotethys and Paleo‐Pacific towards the Eurasian continent. This led to the formation of the great ‘Circum South‐east Asia Subduction–Accretion Zone’ in the Middle or Late Cretaceous. This paper also presents various lines of evidence for a newly recognized segment of this Mesozoic subduction–accretion zone buried under Cenozoic sediments in the north‐eastern South China Sea.

Genotypic differences in leaf biochemical, physiological and growth responses to ozone in 20 winter wheat cultivars released over the past 60 years - D. K. BISWAS; H. XU; Y. G. LI; J. Z. SUN; X. Z. WANG; X. G. HAN; G. M. JIANG (Global Change Biology, 2008)
Ozone (O 3 ) concentrations in periurban areas in East Asia are sufficiently high to decrease crop yield. However, little is known about the genotypic differences in O 3 sensitivity in winter wheat in relation to year of cultivar release. This paper reports genotypic variations in O 3 sensitivity in 20 winter wheat cultivars released over the past 60 years in China highlighting O 3 ‐induced mechanisms. Wheat plants were exposed to elevated O 3 (82 ppb O 3 , 7 h day −1 ) or charcoal‐filtered air ( 3 ) for 21 days in open top chambers. Responses to O 3 were assessed by the levels of antioxidative activities, protein alteration, membrane lipid peroxidation, gas exchange, leaf chlorophyll, dark respiration and growth. We found that O 3 significantly reduced foliar ascorbate (−14%) and soluble protein (−22%), but increased peroxidase activity (+46%) and malondialdehyde (+38%). Elevated O 3 depressed light saturated net photosynthetic rate (−24%), stomatal conductance (−8%) and total chlorophyll (−11%), while stimulated dark respiration (+28%) and intercellular CO 2 concentration (+39%). O 3 also reduced overall plant growth, but to a greater extent in root (−32%) than in shoot (−17%) biomass. There was significant genotypic variation in potential sensitivity to O 3 that did not correlate to observed O 3 tolerance. Sensitivity to O 3 in cultivars of winter wheat progressed with year of release and correlated with stomatal conductance and dark respiration in O 3 ‐exposed plants. O 3 ‐induced loss in photosynthetic rate was attributed primarily to impaired activity of mesophyll cells and loss of integrity of cellular membrane as evidenced by increased intercellular CO 2 concentration and lipid peroxidation. Our findings demonstrated that higher sensitivity to O 3 in the more recently released cultivars was induced by higher stomatal conductance, larger reduction in antioxidative capacity and lower levels of dark respiration leading to higher oxidative damage to proteins and integrity of cellular membranes.

Palaeovegetation of China: a pollen data‐based synthesis for the mid‐Holocene and last glacial maximum - G. Yu; X. Chen; J. Ni; R. Cheddadi; J. Guiot; H. Han; S. P. Harrison; C. Huang; M. Ke; Z. Kong; S. Li; W. Li; et al. (Journal of Biogeography, 2000)
Pollen data from China for 6000 and 18,000 14 C yr bp were compiled and used to reconstruct palaeovegetation patterns, using complete taxon lists where possible and a biomization procedure that entailed the assignment of 645 pollen taxa to plant functional types. A set of 658 modern pollen samples spanning all biomes and regions provided a comprehensive test for this procedure and showed convincing agreement between reconstructed biomes and present natural vegetation types, both geographically and in terms of the elevation gradients in mountain regions of north‐eastern and south‐western China. The 6000 14 C yr bp map confirms earlier studies in showing that the forest biomes in eastern China were systematically shifted northwards and extended westwards during the mid‐Holocene. Tropical rain forest occurred on mainland China at sites characterized today by either tropical seasonal or broadleaved evergreen/warm mixed forest. Broadleaved evergreen/warm mixed forest occurred further north than today, and at higher elevation sites within the modern latitudinal range of this biome. The northern limit of temperate deciduous forest was shifted c. 800 km north relative to today. The 18,000 14 C yr bp map shows that steppe and even desert vegetation extended to the modern coast of eastern China at the last glacial maximum, replacing today’s temperate deciduous forest. Tropical forests were excluded from China and broadleaved evergreen/warm mixed forest had retreated to tropical latitudes, while taiga extended southwards to c . 43°N.
