Effect of Rigid Vegetation Arrangement on the Mixed Layer of Curved Channel Flow - Tianwei Huang; Mengxing He; Kan Hong; Yingtien Lin; Pengcheng Jiao (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023)
Curved channels and aquatic vegetation are commonly present in the riverine environment. In this study, the effects of vegetation density and distribution on the hydrodynamic characteristics of a mixed layer developed over a 180-degree curved channel were investigated through flume experiments. Wooden sticks were used to simulate rigid vegetation distributed along the half side of the channel, and a 200 Hz acoustic Doppler velocimeter (ADV) was employed to measure the three-dimensional instantaneous velocity at five selected cross sections along the curved channel. Experimental results show that the vegetation covering the half of the channel significantly affects the hydrodynamic structure of the curved channel flow, and the unequal vegetation resistance induces the K-H instability at the vegetation and non-vegetation interface, resulting in a standard hyperbolic tangent function of streamwise velocity distribution along the lateral direction. The influence of curve position on turbulence kinetic energy is far greater than that of vegetation density and vegetation distribution. The peak value of turbulent kinetic energy is comprehensively affected by vegetation density and distribution, and the peak position of turbulent kinetic energy at the interface is changed by different vegetation distribution. The combined effect of the curve and the partly covered vegetation increases the mixing between the water bodies, enhancing turbulent kinetic energy, and vegetation along the concave bank plays a more significant role. For turbulent bursting, the inward and outward interactions are mainly bursting events in the vegetation area, while ejections and sweeps are dominant in the non-vegetation area. However, the critical vegetation condition to initiate large-scale coherent structure (LSS) in the mixed layer and the influence of flexible vegetation need to be further studied in the future.

Biofouling characteristics in Xinghua Bay of Fujian, China - Heshan Lin; Yaqin Huang; Yingyue Lin; Shuyi Zhang; Shihao Yu; Kun Liu; Jianfeng Mou; Junhui Lin; Xuebao He; Sujing Fu; Weijie Xie; Zhongbao Li (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
Biofouling is one of the main factors affecting the efficiency and safety of cooling water systems in coastal nuclear power plants. Understanding the population dynamics, succession rules and cumulative effects of major fouling organisms is the basis for targeted prevention and control. A 1-year simulated concrete panel test was conducted from December 2020 to November 2021 in Xinghua Bay, China. A total of 78 species of fouling organisms were recorded by combining the monthly, seasonal, semiannual, annual and monthly cumulative panels, and the community composition was dominated by nearshore warm-water species, making for a typical subtropical inner bay-type community. The fouling organisms had a peak attachment period from June to October. Significantly more attachment was observed during summer (from June to August) than during the other three seasons. The attachment amount in the second half-year (from June to November) was much higher than that in the first half-year (from December to May). The attachment thickness, density, and biomass of the bottom summer panels reached 20 cm, 105,150 ind./m 2 , and 19,274.50 g/m 2 , respectively, while those of the bottom annual panels were 40 cm, 27,300 ind./m 2 , and 17,762.50 g/m 2 , respectively. The dominant fouling organisms with calcified shells mainly included Amphibalanus reticulatus and Pernaviridis . These species had high attachment amounts,could accumulate attachments for a long time, and even might cause secondary blockage, making them the most detrimental to the safety of a cooling system. Moreover,the seasonal upward growth of hydroids and bryozoans can also significantly reduce the efficiency of cooling water intake. We suggest that targeted prevention and control should be carried out according to the larval attachment period of different dominant groups of fouling organisms during June-October, which can greatly improve the prevention and control efficiency. Strengthening the research on the biological cycle phenomenon of the main species and their main environmental impact factors, and establishing a scientific and effective early-warning model are the governance direction of formulating and implementing scientific pollution prevention and control in the future.

The emergence of prolonged deadly humid heatwaves - Xiang‐Sheng Wang; Lei He; Xiao‐Hu Ma; Qiang Bie; Lin Luo; You‐Cai Xiong; Jian‐Sheng Ye (International Journal of Climatology, 2022)
Deadly humid heat conditions exceeding human thermoregulatory capacity have been reported; however, whether and where the deadly humid heat events occur consecutively across the land surface are largely unknown. We calculate the maximum consecutive days of deadly humid heat, defined as daily maximum wet‐bulb temperature (TWmax) ≥35°C, for observations of 9,278 meteorological stations and for simulations of 14 global climate models. We further define short and long deadly humid heatwaves as a period of 3–4 and ≥5 consecutive days with daily TWmax ≥35°C, respectively. Our analyses show that six stations in some subtropical regions have experienced deadly humid heat with daily TWmax ≥35°C, but only occurs in individual days. Deadly humid heatwaves increase exponentially as the global mean temperature rising. When limiting global warming within 1.5°C, long deadly humid heatwaves will not occur across the land surface, and short deadly humid heatwaves will only emerge in some drylands but not in humid areas. Under 2°C warming, 0.09% of the global land, 0.42% of the human population, and 0.56% of the global centres of crop diversity are projected to be exposed to long deadly humid heatwaves. Meanwhile, 18% of the deadly humid heatwaves lasting ≥3 consecutive days will occur in humid areas; the fractions are projected to rapidly increase in humid areas as temperature rising further. At the end of the century, the percentage of land areas and human population exposed to deadly humid heatwaves lasting ≥3 consecutive days are expected to be 76‐times higher than that under 1.5°C warming level. Our finding suggests that keeping global warming within 1.5°C will significantly constrain the emergence of prolonged deadly humid heatwaves and thus reduce the risk of the human population especially outdoor agricultural workers.

Transcriptome Analysis Provides an Overview of Genes Involved in the Peculiar Food Preference at First-Feeding Stage in Mandarin Fish (Siniperca chuatsi) - Ling Li; Shu-Lin Tang; Shan He; Xu-Fang Liang (Fishes, 2022)
The mandarin fish (Siniperca chuatsi) is an important economic fish species in China. Many carnivorous fish larvae feed on zooplankton or microdiets. However, the mandarin fish larvae feed on live prey fish exclusively, while refusing zooplankton or microdiets. A stable supply of palatable live prey fish results in high costs. Moreover, the application of live prey fish might bring the risk of pathogens. However, little is known about the genes underlying the food preference of mandarin fish larvae. Partial offspring of the domesticated strain could feed brine shrimp from three days post-hatching (dph), the open mouth day. In the present study, the mandarin fish larvae were randomly divided into three groups, then treated differently at 3 dph: (1) unfed; (2) fed with live prey fish; (3) fed with brine shrimp (Artemia). Differentially expressed genes were identified by RNA-seq. The differential expression of the transcription factors involved in retinal photoreceptor development and differentiation might contribute to the intake of brine shrimp in mandarin fish larvae. Meanwhile, the digestive enzyme genes involved in protein, fat, and carbohydrate digestion have been expressed in mandarin fish larvae at 3 dph, contributing to the digestion of ingested food. Our study provides an overview of genes and biological processes involved in the peculiar food preference at the first-feeding stage in mandarin fish larvae and has critical importance to the future application of non-fish live feeds in the culture of mandarin fish larvae.

A synthetic peptide based on large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea) IFNG1R protein sequence has potential antimicrobial activity against Pseudomonas plecoglossicida - Yijun Lin; Shunzhe Yang; Xiaohong Wang; Ruiyao Xie; Jie Cheng; Tianliang He; Xinhua Chen; Xiang-Yang Zhang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The overuse of antibiotics leads to the emergence of bacterial resistance, which poses a serious threat to aquaculture. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) display excellent antimicrobial activity and are thought to be the most feasible replacements for antibiotics. The usage of AMPs as feed additives has great application prospects in aquaculture. In this study, large yellow croaker interferon-γ related gene (IFNG1R) was cloned, and a 17-amino acids (aa) short peptide named SKL17-2 was synthesized based on its protein sequence. The synthesized SKL17-2 peptide possessed a strong antimicrobial activity against Pseudomonas plecoglossicida , which could cause visceral white nodules disease (VWND) in cultured marine fish, with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 2 μM. SKL17-2 peptide also showed weak antimicrobial activities against other tested bacteria, indicating its narrow-spectrum antimicrobial activity. This suggested that SKL17-2 peptide may not kill probiotics in intestinal flora when used as the feed additive. Furthermore, SKL17-2 had broad temperature and pH stability, low cytotoxicity, and negligible hemolysis, indicating its good biosafety and stability. Mechanistically, the synthesized SKL17-2 peptide can form α-helical structure in a membrane environment and destroy P. plecoglossicida through membrane disruption. Thus, our data showed that SKL17-2 peptide may represent a potential feed additive used for prevention and treatment of VWND.

Circadian clock genes Bmal1 and Period may regulate nocturnal spawning by controlling sex hormone secretion in razor clam Sinonovacula constricta - Yanzi Liu; Qinyuan He; Hanhan Yao; Zhihua Lin; Yinghui Dong (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The circadian clock is an endogenous regulation mechanism that coordinates biological processes with daily changes, which are regulated by circadian clock genes. Bmal1 and Period are key circadian clock genes and their roles in reproductive development have been widely studied. The spawning time of Sinonovacula constricta is limited to the night even under external artificial stimulation, and it might be regulated by the internal circadian clock. In this study, the heart rate of S. constricta was higher between 20:00-04:00 at night and lower between 12:00-16:00 during the day, and the sex hormone contents were the highest at 00:00 and the lowest at 18:00 ( P < 0.01). Therefore, these obvious changes in the circadian rhythm indicate that S. constricta is a nocturnal animal. The open reading frame (ORF) of Bmal1 comprises 1944 bp encoding 647 aa, while the ORF of Period comprises 3111 bp encoding 1036 aa. Bmal1 and Period were both expressed in four tissues, but they had opposite rhythmic expression patterns. Bmal1 expression was higher at 00:00-06:00 and lower at 12:00-18:00, and Period expression was opposite, thereby suggesting that Bmal1 and Period are involved in positive and negative pathways regulated by the circadian clock, respectively. Strong protein fluorescence signals of Bmal1 and Period proteins were observed in mature oocytes, spermatids, hepatocytes, and epithelial cells of siphons. After siRNA interference, the expression of both Bmal1 and Period significantly decreased ( P < 0.01), and the sex hormone contents decreased significantly from 3 to 7 days in the siRNA treatment groups ( P < 0.01). Therefore Bmal1 and Period may regulate nocturnal spawning by controlling sex hormone secretion. These findings provide a theoretical basis for understanding the molecular mechanism related to spawning, and may facilitate the artificial propagation of mollusks.

Aloe polysaccharide promotes osteogenesis potential of adipose-derived stromal cells via BMP-2/Smads and prevents ovariectomized-induced osteoporosis - Xue-wei Yao; He-dong Liu; Mao-xian Ren; Tian-lin Li; Wen-kai Jiang; Zhi Zhou; Zhi-yi Liu; Min Yang (Molecular Biology Reports, 2022)
Background Aloe polysaccharide (AP) is a type of an active macromolecule of Aloe vera, which contributes to its function. However, whether AP possesses anti-osteoporosis properties is unknown. Methods Adipose-derived stromal cells were treated with different concentrations of AP. Early and late osteogenesis were, respectively, evaluated by ALP and Alizarin Red S staining. The effect of AP on the processes of adipogenesis inhibition in ADSCs was analyzed by oil red O staining. Western blot was used to assess the expression of osteogenic and adipogenic related factors. Then, Noggin was administered to further confirm the mechanism by which AP promotes the osteogenesis of ADSCs. Finally, 40 female SD rats were classified into a bilateral laparotomy group (Sham group) and three bilateral ovariectomy groups: OVX group, OVX + AP group, and OVX + AP + Noggin group. The bilateral rat femurs were collected to perform micro-CT scanning, HE, Masson trichrome, and Oil red O staining. Results The results indicated that AP could increase ALP expression and calcium deposition. Through molecular mechanisms, AP promotes the protein expression of COL1A1, OPN, and ALP in ADSCs, but downregulates the expression of PPARγ. Also, AP directs ADSCs’ fate by stimulating the BMP2/Smads signaling pathway. In vivo, the rat AP-treated had more trabecular bone than the OVX rat, indicating partial protection from cancellous bone loss after treatment with AP. Conclusion Our results show that AP may promote osteogenesis of ADSCs through BMP-2/Smads signaling pathway and inhibits lipogenic differentiation. Thus, AP might be a promising alternative medicine to treat postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Ports play a vital role in the development of cities. In order to study the contribution of seaports to the urban economy, this paper uses the input–output method and multiplier theory to calculate the direct, indirect, and ripple economic contribution of ports to cities. Then, this paper selects Xiamen Port as an example to calculate the economic contribution. Xiamen Port is a major port on the southeast coast of China and an important node of the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road. It can provide a reference for other port cities. A more detailed index system for evaluating the economic contribution is also constructed. Next, the time series ARIMA model is used to predict the cargo throughput and container throughput of Xiamen Port in the next four years. Finally, there are some suggestions put forward for the development of Xiamen Port. The results show the total economic contribution of Xiamen Port to the city accounted for 10.48% of the city’s GDP in 2017. Direct, indirect, and ripple economic contributions accounted for 2.84%, 2.13%, and 5.51%, respectively. The contribution of Xiamen Port to the city is in line with the growth pole theory, which not only allows for rapid growth in Xiamen Port itself but also drives the development of the entire region through the multiplier effect. The cargo throughput and container throughput of Xiamen Port will maintain continuous growth in the next four years. Therefore, the development of Xiamen Port should be accelerated to enhance its economic contribution to the city.

Coupling Relationship of Geomorphic Evolution and Marine Hydrodynamics in the Stage-Specific Development of Urban Bays: A Modelling Case Study in Quanzhou Bay (1954–2017), China - Xianbiao Xiao; Yunhai Li; Junjian Tang; Fusheng Luo; Fangfang Shu; Liang Wang; Jia He; Xiaochun Zou; Wenqi Chi; Yuting Lin; Binxin Zheng (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
With the development of social economy and human activities, the geomorphology and hydrodynamic conditions of coasts have been dramatically changed, causing serious environmental pollution and resource depletion. Taking Quanzhou Bay as an example, this study combined geomorphologic change with a hydrodynamic model to simulate the change in tidal currents in different periods. The results show a change in the coastline was the main cause of hydrodynamic change during the industrialization reform. During the past 70 years, the tidal prism decreased year by year, and the average velocity of the tidal current in the channel decreased by 33.7% and 30.8% at flood and ebb tide, respectively. In the early stages of industrialization, reclamation land was used in a single way. The tidal prism decreased by 22.2% and 29.8% in the spring and neap tide, respectively. In the middle and later stages, the tidal current velocity increased, and reclamation land was used in a variety of ways. In modern society, the reclamation land-use type was unitary. Based on this research, we show the influence of human activities on the evolution of the bay’s geomorphology and provide suggestions for the management of the bay.

Study on aptamer based high throughput approach identifies natural ingredients against RGNNV - Hongling Wei; Mingzhu Liu; Ke Ke; Shuangyan Xiao; Lin Huang; Qiongyu He; Changping Mo; Hai Pang; Guozhu Xiao; Pengfei Li; Qing Yu (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2022)
Nervous necrosis virus (NNV) is one of the most destructive pathogens in marine fish aquaculture and is capable of infecting more than 50 fish species worldwide, which resulted in great economic losses. Effective drugs for managing NNV infection are urgently required. Medicinal plants have been known for thousands of years and benefit of medicinal plants against pathogens in aquaculture have emerged. Nowadays, the most commonly used method for detecting virus infection and assessing antiviral drugs efficacy is reverse transcription‐quantitative real‐time PCR. However, the application is limited on account of high reagent costs, complex time‐consuming operations and long detection time. Aptamers have been widely applied in application of pathogens or diseases diagnosis and treatments because of high specificity, strong affinity, good stability, easy synthesized and low costs. This study aimed to establish an aptamer (GBN34)‐based high‐throughput screening (GBN34‐AHTS) model for efficient selection and evaluation of natural ingredients against NNV infection. GBN34‐AHTS is an expeditious rapid method for selecting natural ingredients against NNV, which is characterized with high‐speed, dram, sensitive and accurate. AHTS strategy could reduce work intensity and experimental costs and shorten the whole screening cycle of effective ingredients. AHTS should be suitable for rapid selection of effective ingredients against other viruses, which is important for improving the prevention and controlling of aquatic diseases.

Long‐term drought aggravates instability of alpine grassland productivity to extreme climatic event - Yun L. He; Jin S. Wang; Da S. Tian; Quan Quan; Lin Jiang; Fang F. Ma; Lu Yang; Fang Y. Zhang; Qing P. Zhou; Shu L. Niu (Ecology, 2022)
The frequency and severity of extreme weather events are increasing and expected to increase more in the future, together with global change. However, how extreme events and global change factors interactively influence community structures and ecosystem processes is largely unknown. Here, we investigated the responses of the temporal stability and resilience of aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP) of an alpine meadow to an extreme flooding event under different treatments of experimental drought and clipping. We found that ecosystems that were exposed to drought treatments for 3 years significantly decreased the temporal stability of community productivity but increased resilience to flooding, whereas their resistance to or recovery from flooding did not change. Neither clipping nor its interaction with drought altered the responses of these community stability metrics to flooding. Drought treatments significantly decreased plant species richness and asynchrony and dominant species stability, leading to a decrease in temporal stability and an increase in resilience in response to the extreme flooding event. The study also revealed that the change in species asynchrony was the dominant impact pathway determining the responses of resilience and temporal stability to flooding. Our results highlight that alpine grassland that experiences a multiyear drought may aggravate the instability of community productivity to extreme climatic events by reducing species asynchrony.

Associations of metal profiles in blood with thyroiditis: a cross-sectional study - Yaosheng Luo; Huixian Zeng; Yanshi Ye; Genfeng Yu; Cheng Song; Siyang Liu; Xingying Chen; Yuqi Jiang; Hualin Duan; Yue Li; Shengqing He; Zhi Chen; et al. (Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2022)
Autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT) is increasingly common, and serological markers include thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) and thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb). To determine if selected metals influence thyroiditis antibody positivity, this cross-sectional study investigated associations between metals and thyroiditis antibody status. Healthy individuals ( n = 1104) completed a questionnaire and underwent checkups of anthropometric parameters, thyroid function status, and levels of seven metals in blood (magnesium, iron, calcium, copper, zinc, manganese, and lead). Associated profiles of glyco- and lipid metabolism were also established. Logistic regression and restricted cubic spline (RCS) regression analysis were applied to adjudge associations between metals and TPOAb and TgAb status. It was found that, after adjusting for likely cofounding factors, participants with antibody positivity had significantly lower serum concentrations of magnesium and iron. When serum magnesium levels were analyzed in quartiles, the odds ratios of quartile 4 were 0.329–fold (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.167–0647) and 0.259-fold (95% CI 0.177–0.574) that of quartile 1 regarding TPOAb and TgAb positivity ( P = 0.004, 0.003). After adjustment, the RCS analysis detected nonlinear associations between iron and TPOAb and TgAb positivity ( P < 0.01, both). In stratified analyses, these associations regarding magnesium and iron remained for women of reproductive age, but not for postmenopausal women and men. We conclude that lower serum levels of magnesium and iron are associated with incremental positivity of thyroiditis antibodies and may be among the most important metals contributing to AIT in women of reproductive age.

HC-1119, a deuterated Enzalutamide, inhibits Migration, Invasion and Metastasis of the AR-positive triple-negative breast Cancer cells - Xuehong Wu; Wanru Feng; Mao Yang; Xunxi Liu; Mengdi Gao; Xinghai Li; Lin Gan; Tao He (Molecular Biology Reports, 2022)
Triple-negative breast cancers (TNBCs) are aggressive, and they develop metastasis at earlier stages, relapse more frequently, and exhibits poorer prognosis than other subtypes of breast cancer. Due to the lack of estrogen receptor for endocrine therapy and HER2 for targeted therapy, new targeted therapies for TNBCs are urgently needed. Enzalutamide is a second-generation androgen receptor (AR) inhibitor, and HC-1119 is a new synthetic deuterated enzalutamide. Owing to the isotope effect, HC-1119 has many advantages over enzalutamide, including slow metabolism, high plasma concentration and low brain exposure. However, the efficacy of HC-1119 in inhibition of AR function in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) has not been studied. In this study, we found high-level AR expression in both Hs578T and SUM159PT TNBC cell lines. Activation of AR by dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in both cell lines increased AR protein, induced AR-nuclear localization, enhanced cell migration and invasion in culture, and promoted liver metastasis in mice. Importantly, cotreatment with HC-1119 of these cells efficiently abolished all of these effects of DHT on both Hs578T and SUM159PT cells. These results indicate that HC-1119 is a very effective new second-generation AR antagonist that can inhibit the migration, invasion and metastasis of the AR-positive TNBC cells.

Acanthopagrus oconnorae , a new species of seabream (Sparidae) from the Red Sea - Lucía Pombo‐Ayora; Viktor N. Peinemann; Collin T. Williams; Song He; Yu Jia Lin; Yukio Iwatsuki; Donal D. C. Bradley; Michael L. Berumen (Journal of Fish Biology, 2022)
A new species of sparid fish, Acanthopagrus oconnorae , is described based on 11 specimens collected in the shallow (0–1 m depth) mangrove‐adjacent sandflats of Thuwal, Saudi Arabia. The new species is distinguished from its congeners by the following combination of characters: second anal‐fin spine 12.8%–16.6% of standard length (SL); 3½ scale rows between the fifth dorsal‐fin spine and lateral line; suborbital width 5.7%–6.7% of SL; eyes positioned at the anterior edge of the head, often forming a weakly convex break in an otherwise gently curved head profile, when viewed laterally; caudal fin light yellow with black posterior margin (approximately half of fin); anal fin dusky grey, with posterior one‐fifth of the fin light yellow; black streaks on inter‐radial membranes of anal fin absent. The most similar species to A. oconnorae is Acanthopagrus vagus , which differs by the presence of a w‐shaped anterior edge of the scaled predorsal area, a more acute snout and black streaks on the inter‐radial membranes of the anal fin. Phylogenetic placement and species delimitation of A. oconnorae are discussed based on COI, CytB and 16S sequences. It is hypothesized that ecology and behaviour explain how this species avoided detection despite its likely occurrence in coastal areas of the Red Sea with historically high fishing pressure.

The amount of natural gas contained in the world’s gas hydrate accumulations is enormous, but these estimates remain highly speculative. So far, it is still challenging to locate spatial distribution of marine gas hydrate and quantitatively characterize the evaluation parameters and systematic improvement of evaluation systems. Considering the systematic review of the key accumulation factors, such as heat flow, deposition rate and total organic carbon in the typical passive continental margin, the evaluation results of global marine gas hydrate resources were analyzed based on the characteristics of gas hydrate geology, geophysics and geochemistry anomalies in the South China Sea. We analyze the problems on the evaluation of marine gas hydrate resources, probing into the geological characteristics and distribution laws of marine gas hydrate resources in the South China Sea, and estimate the parameters for in-place resource evaluation, in which the volume method based on Monte Carlo probability was used to evaluate the gas hydrate potential resources in the South China Sea. The probability distribution ranges from 37.6 billion (with 90% probability) to 117.7 billion (with 10% probability) tons of oil equivalent, with an expected value of 74.4 billion tons of oil equivalent. The study results show that the gas hydrate resource density in the South China Sea is similar to that in the typical sea areas, and the estimated global resources are basically consistent with the assessment results at this stag; this shows that the South China Sea has great potential for gas hydrate resources. The research results can provide guidance for the evaluation of global climate change and the exploration and development of hydrate resources.

Data capturing multiple axes of tree size and shape, such as a tree's stem diameter, height and crown size, underpin a wide range of ecological research—from developing and testing theory on forest structure and dynamics, to estimating forest carbon stocks and their uncertainties, and integrating remote sensing imagery into forest monitoring programmes. However, these data can be surprisingly hard to come by, particularly for certain regions of the world and for specific taxonomic groups, posing a real barrier to progress in these fields. To overcome this challenge, we developed the Tallo database, a collection of 498,838 georeferenced and taxonomically standardized records of individual trees for which stem diameter, height and/or crown radius have been measured. These data were collected at 61,856 globally distributed sites, spanning all major forested and non‐forested biomes. The majority of trees in the database are identified to species (88%), and collectively Tallo includes data for 5163 species distributed across 1453 genera and 187 plant families. The database is publicly archived under a CC‐BY 4.0 licence and can be access from: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6637599 . To demonstrate its value, here we present three case studies that highlight how the Tallo database can be used to address a range of theoretical and applied questions in ecology—from testing the predictions of metabolic scaling theory, to exploring the limits of tree allometric plasticity along environmental gradients and modelling global variation in maximum attainable tree height. In doing so, we provide a key resource for field ecologists, remote sensing researchers and the modelling community working together to better understand the role that trees play in regulating the terrestrial carbon cycle.

Age, Growth and Population Structure Analyses of the Purpleback Flying Squid Sthenoteuthis oualaniensis in the Northwest Indian Ocean by Beak Microstructure - Hua-Jie Lu; Yu-Zhe Ou; Jing-Ru He; Mao-Lin Zhao; Zi-Yue Chen; Xin-Jun Chen (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
To explore the feasibility of using beak microstructure information to estimate the age of Sthenoteuthis oualaniensis, the microstructures of the upper beaks of individual squid were applied in this work to analyze the ages and growth patterns of squid caught from February–May 2019 and from October–December 2020 in the northwest Indian Ocean. The results indicated that the squid samples in the two years were no older than 9 months, and the samples in 2019 were autumn population and 2020 were spring population. The linear growth model of the autumn population (2019) was the best model for describing the relationship between age and ML, while the power model of the spring population (2020) was the best for describing the relationship between age and ML. The maximum instantaneous growth rate (IGR) and absolute daily growth rate (AGR) values of the spring population were 0.24%/d and 1.09 mm/d, respectively, occurring in squid between 200 and 220 days of age. The maximum IGR and AGR values of the autumn population were 0.69%/d and 1.73 mm/d, respectively, occurring in squid between 200 and 240 days of age. The period from 141–260 days (5–8 months) was considered to correspond to the subadult stage in the whole life history of S. oualaniensis in the Northwest Indian Ocean. The beak microstructure information can be effectively applied to estimate the age of S. oualaniensis individuals.

MiR-30c-1-3p targets matrix metalloproteinase 9 involved in the rupture of abdominal aortic aneurysms - Lin Yang; Hong-Gang Sui; Meng-Meng Wang; Jia-Yin Li; Xiao-Feng He; Jing-Yuan Li; Xiao-Zeng Wang (Journal of Molecular Medicine, 2022)
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) can be fatal if ruptured, but there is no predictive biomarker. Our aim was to evaluate the prognostic potential of microRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) in an AAA mouse model and patients with unruptured AAA (URAAA) and ruptured AAA (RAAA). Among the 64 miRNAs differentially expressed in mice with AAA compared to control, miR-30c-1-3p, miR-432-3p, miR-3154, and miR-379-5p had high homology with human miRNAs. MiR-30c-1-3p plasma levels were significantly lower in patients with RAAA than in those with URAAA or control and tended to negatively correlate with the maximum aortic diameter ( r = −0.3153, P = 0.06109). MiR-30c-1-3p targeted matrix metalloproteinase ( MMP)-9 mRNA through the coding region and downregulated its expression in vitro. MMP-9 plasma concentrations were significantly higher in the RAAA group than in the URAAA group ( P < 0.001) and were negatively associated with miR-30c-1-3p levels ( r = −0.3671, P = 0.01981) and positively–with the maximal aortic diameter ( r = 0.6251, P < 0.0001). The optimal cutoff values for MMP-9 expression and the maximal aortic diameter were 461.08 ng/ml and 55.95 mm, with areas under the curve of 0.816 and 0.844, respectively. Our results indicate that plasma levels of miR-30c-1-3p and MMP-9 may be candidate biomarkers of AAA progression. Key messages Downregulation of miR-30c-1-3p expression and upregulation of its potential target MMP-9 are predictors of the devastation of AAA. Downregulation of miR-30c-1-3p expression and its downstream impact on MMP-9 have a potential on predicting the development and rupture of AAA.

Swimming crab ( Portunus trituberculatus ) are an important aquaculture species in eastern coastal areas of China. To improve the understanding of P. trituberculatus culture ecosystem functioning, the dynamics of energy flow and trophic structure of a P. trituberculatus polyculture system (co-culture with white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei and short-necked clam Ruditapes philippinarum ) were investigated in this study. Three Ecopath models representing the early, middle, and late culture periods of a P. trituberculatus polyculture ecosystem, respectively, were constructed to compare ecosystem traits at different culture periods. The results demonstrated that detritus was the main energy source in this polyculture ecosystem, and most of the total system throughput occurred at trophic levels I and II. Artificial food input and consumption by the culture organisms increased from early to middle and late periods, which produced marked impacts on biomass structure and primary production. R. philippinarum was considered to have a dominant influence on phytoplankton community dynamics which changed from nano- to pico-phytoplankton predominance, from the middle to the late period. Considering the low utilization efficiency of pico-phytoplankton production, large amounts of detritus accumulated in the sediment in the late period, which may constitute a potential risk for the ecosystem. Ecological network analyses indicated that the total energy flow and level of system organization increased from the early to the middle and late periods, whereas food web complexity and system resilience decreased from early to middle and late periods, which may indicate a trend of decreasing ecosystem stability. The system may be further optimized by increased stocking density of R. philippinarum and by introducing macro-algae at a suitable biomass to increase ecosystem stability, energy utilization efficiency, and aquaculture production.

Genetic testing enables a precision medicine approach for nephrolithiasis and nephrocalcinosis in pediatrics: a single-center cohort - Lin Huang; Chang Qi; Gaohong Zhu; Juanjuan Ding; Li Yuan; Jie Sun; Xuelian He; Xiaowen Wang (Molecular Genetics and Genomics, 2022)
Objective Hereditary factors are the main cause of pediatric nephrolithiasis (NL)/nephrocalcinosis (NC). We summarized the genotype–phenotype correlation of hereditary NL/NC in our center, to evaluate the role of genetic testing in early diagnosis. Methods The clinical data of 32 NL/NC cases, which were suspected to have an inherited basis, were retrospectively analyzed from May 2017 to August 2020. The trio-whole exome sequencing was used as the main approach for genetic testing, variants were confirmed by Sanger sequencing, and pathogenicity analysis according to protein function was predicted with custom-developed software. Results Causative monogenic mutations were detected in 24 of 32 NL/NC patients, and copy number variation was detected in one patient. A summary of manifestations in patients with inherited diseases revealed a significant degree of growth retardation, increased urinary excretion of the low-molecular weight protein, hypercalciuria, electrolyte imbalances, and young age of onset to be common in heredity disease. In addition, some patients had abnormal renal function (3 ppm 25). The most frequent pathology identified was distal renal tubular acidosis (with inclusion of SLC4A1 , ATP6V1B1 , and ATP6VOA4 genes), followed by Dent disease ( CLCN5 and OCRL1 genes), primary hyperoxaluria (PH) ( AGXT and HOGA1 genes) and Kabuki syndrome ( KMT2D gene), which was more likely to present as NC or recurrent stone and having a higher correlation with a specific biochemical phenotype and extrarenal phenotype. Conclusion The etiology of NL/NC is heterogeneous. This study explored in depth the relationship between phenotype and genotype in 32 patients, and confirmed that genetic testing and clinical phenotype evaluation enable the precision medicine approach to treating patients.

Microcosmic Characteristics of Hydrate Formation and Decomposition in the Different Particle Size Sediments Captured by Cryo-SEM - Jingsheng Lu; Decai Lin; Dongliang Li; Deqing Liang; Long Wen; Siting Wu; Yiqun Zhang; Yong He; Lingli Shi; Youming Xiong (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Sand production and sand control studies in non-diagenetic reservoirs are the weak point in the conventional petroleum industry. However, natural gas hydrate (NGH) mainly exists in non-diagenetic strata, and sand production occurs during exploitation, which restricts the safe and sustainable production of NGH. To study the microcosmic characteristics of sand production, the hydrate decomposition behaviours in the sediments were captured by the Cryo-SEM method. The micromorphology of different particle sizes of sand samples containing NGH (the sand median diameter d50 is 150, 87, 55, 38, 24, and 13 µm) and the microcosmic processes of NGH decomposition were observed. Then, the microcosmic characteristics of sand production, during the decomposition process, were analysed. (1) The gas hydrate decomposition increases pore space and reduces reservoir strength; the expansion action of the decomposition of water and gas, the softening action of the decomposition of water, and the compression action by overlying stress (crustal stress) promoted sand production, deformation, and subsidence of the NGH reservoirs in the mining process. (2) The decomposition of NGH has a more significant impact on sediments with smaller particle sizes. (3) The particle size of NGH may be larger than the particle size of the mud in the reservoirs, and acting as “gravel” plays a particular role in sand control. Therefore, the particle size of NGH cannot be ignored in the design of sand control. (4) It has been revealed, and verified, that sputtering (splashing) is a unique process of sand production caused by NGH decomposition. In other words, the rapid expansion of the volume of the decomposed gas and water from NGH leads to the eruption and sputtering of hydrate particles, providing the driving force for sand migration, which is a different process of sand production than in conventional oil and gas.

Natural component plumbagin as a potential antibacterial agent against Streptococcus agalactiae infection - Ai‐Guo Huang; Lin‐Jun Su; Wei‐Hao He; Fa‐Li Zhang; Chao‐Shuai Wei; Ying‐Hui Wang (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2022)
Streptococcus agalactiae , also known as Group B Streptococcus (GBS), can infect humans, terrestrial animals and fish. The emergence of bacterial resistance of S. agalactiae to antibiotics leads to an urgent need of exploration of new antimicrobial agents. In the study, the antibacterial activity of natural component plumbagin (PLB) against S. agalactiae was investigated in vitro and in vivo. The results showed that the minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of PLB against S. agalactiae was 8 mg/L. The growth curve assay revealed that PLB could inhibit the growth of S. agalactiae . In addition, the time‐killing curve showed that S. agalactiae was killed almost completely by 2‐fold MIC of PLB within 12 h. Transmission electron microscopy results showed obvious severe morphological destruction and abnormal cells of S. agalactiae after treated with PLB. The pathogenicity of S. agalactiae to zebrafish was significantly decreased after preincubation with PLB for 2 h in vitro, further indicating the bactericidal activity of PLB. Interestingly, PLB could kill S. agalactiae without inducing resistance development. Furthermore, pretreatment and post‐treatment assays suggested that PLB also exhibited the antibacterial activity against S. agalactiae infection in vivo by effectively reducing the bacterial load and improving the survival rate of S. agalactiae ‐infected zebrafish. In summary, PLB had potent antibacterial activity against S. agalactiae in vitro and in vivo, and it could be an excellent antimicrobial candidate to prevent and control S. agalactiae infection.

Metabolic tuning of a stable microbial community in the surface oligotrophic Indian Ocean revealed by integrated meta-omics - Zhang-Xian Xie; Ke-Qiang Yan; Ling-Fen Kong; Ying-Bao Gai; Tao Jin; Yan-Bin He; Ya-Yu Wang; Feng Chen; Lin Lin; Zhi-Long Lin; Hong-Kai Xu; Zong-Ze Shao; et al. (Marine Life Science & Technology, 2022)
Understanding the mechanisms, structuring microbial communities in oligotrophic ocean surface waters remains a major ecological endeavor. Functional redundancy and metabolic tuning are two mechanisms that have been proposed to shape microbial response to environmental forcing. However, little is known about their roles in the oligotrophic surface ocean due to less integrative characterization of community taxonomy and function. Here, we applied an integrated meta-omics-based approach, from genes to proteins, to investigate the microbial community of the oligotrophic northern Indian Ocean. Insignificant spatial variabilities of both genomic and proteomic compositions indicated a stable microbial community that was dominated by Prochlorococcus , Synechococcus , and SAR11. However, fine tuning of some metabolic functions that are mainly driven by salinity and temperature was observed. Intriguingly, a tuning divergence occurred between metabolic potential and activity in response to different environmental perturbations. Our results indicate that metabolic tuning is an important mechanism for sustaining the stability of microbial communities in oligotrophic oceans. In addition, integrated meta-omics provides a powerful tool to comprehensively understand microbial behavior and function in the ocean.

Identification of PDXDC1 as a novel pleiotropic susceptibility locus shared between lumbar spine bone mineral density and birth weight - Yu-Qian Song; Shi-Di Hu; Xu Lin; Xiang-He Meng; Xiao Wang; Yin-Hua Zhang; Cheng Peng; Rui Gong; Tao Xu; Tong Zhang; Chen-Zhong Li; Dao-Yan Pan; et al. (Journal of Molecular Medicine, 2022)
An increasing number of epidemiological studies have suggested that birth weight (BW) may be a determinant of bone health later in life, although the underlying genetic mechanism remains unclear. Here, we applied a pleiotropic conditional false discovery rate (cFDR) approach to the genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics for lumbar spine bone mineral density (LS BMD) and BW, aiming to identify novel susceptibility variants shared between these two traits. We detected 5 novel potential pleiotropic loci which are located at or near 7 different genes ( NTAN1 , PDXDC1 , CACNA1G , JAG1 , FAT1P1 , CCDC170 , ESR1 ), among which PDXDC1 and FAT1P1 have not previously been linked to these phenotypes. To partially validate the findings, we demonstrated that the expression of PDXDC1 was dramatically reduced in ovariectomized (OVX) mice in comparison with sham-operated (SHAM) mice in both the growth plate and trabecula bone. Furthermore, immunohistochemistry assay with serial sections showed that both osteoclasts and osteoblasts express PDXDC1 , supporting its potential role in bone metabolism. In conclusion, our study provides insights into some shared genetic mechanisms for BMD and BW as well as a novel potential therapeutic target for the prevention of OP in the early stages of the disease development. Key messages We investigated pleiotropy-informed enrichment between LS BMD and BW. We identified genetic variants related to both LS BMD and BW by utilizing a cFDR approach. PDXDC1 is a novel pleiotropic gene which may be related to both LS BMD and BW. Elevated expression of PDXDC1 is related to higher BMD and lower ratio n-6/n-3 PUFA indicating a bone protective effect of PDXDC1.

Attribution of the seasonality of atmospheric heating changes over the western tropical Pacific with a focus on the spring season - Shuheng Lin; Song Yang; Shan He; Zhenning Li; Jiaxin Chen; Wenjie Dong; Jiaxue Wu (Climate Dynamics, 2022)
Atmospheric diabatic heating, a major driving force of atmospheric circulation over the tropics, is strongly confined to the tropical western North Pacific (TWNP) region, with the global warmest sea surface temperature (SST). The changes in diabatic heating over the TWNP, which exert great impacts on the global climate system, have recently exhibited a noticeable seasonal dependence with a remarkable increase in boreal spring. In this study, we applied observations, reanalysis data, and numerical experiments to investigate the causes of the seasonality in heating changes. Results show that in boreal spring convection is more sensitive to the TWNP SST, leading to a more significant enhancement of deep convection, although the increase in the SST is nearly the same as that in the other seasons. In the non-spring seasons, the enhanced convection due to increased local SST is suppressed by the anomalous anticyclonic wind shear over the TWNP, generated by the easterly wind anomalies induced by the tropical Indian Ocean (TIO) warming via the Kevin waves. However, the TIO warming does not show any suppressing effect in spring because it is much weaker than that in the other seasons and thus the warming itself cannot induce sufficient convective heating anomalies to excite the Kelvin waves.

The adjustment of life history strategies drives the ecological adaptations of soil microbiota to aridity - Chaonan Li; Haijun Liao; Lin Xu; Changting Wang; Nianpeng He; Junming Wang; Xiangzhen Li (Molecular Ecology, 2022)
Soil microbiota increase their fitness to local habitats by adjusting their life history strategies. Yet, how such adjustments drive their ecological adaptations in xeric grasslands remains elusive. In this study, shifts in the traits that potentially represent microbial life history strategies were studied along two aridity gradients with different climates using metagenomic and trait‐based approaches. The results indicated that resource acquisition (e.g., higher activities of β‐ d ‐glucosidase and N ‐acetyl‐β‐ d ‐glucosidase, higher degradation rates of cellulose and chitin, as well as genes involved in cell motility, biodegradation, transportation and competition) and growth yield (e.g., higher biomass and respiration) strategies were depleted at higher aridity. However, maintenance of cellular and high growth potential (e.g., higher metabolic quotients and genes related to DNA replication, transcription, translation, central carbon metabolism and biosynthesis) and stress tolerance (e.g., genes involved in DNA damage repair, cation transportation, sporulation and osmolyte biosynthesis) strategies were enriched at higher aridity. This implied that microbiota have lower growth yields but are probably well primed for rapid responses to pulses of rainfall in more arid soils, whereas those in less arid soils may have stronger resource acquisition and growth yield abilities. By integrating a large amount of evidence from taxonomic, metagenomic, genomic and biochemical investigations, this study demonstrates that the ecological adaptations of soil microbiota to aridity made by adjusting and optimizing their life history strategies are universal in xeric grasslands and provides an underlying mechanistic understanding of soil microbial responses to climate changes.

Composition, Demographic History, and Population Structures of Trichiurus - Kui-Ching Hsu; Mu-Rong Yi; Sui Gu; Xiong-Bo He; Zhi-Sen Luo; Bin Kang; Hung-Du Lin; Yun-Rong Yan (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Sequences of the complete mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit I gene were used to identify Trichiurus species and examine their population genetic structure and demographic history along the coast of China. Three Trichiurus species were found. Trichiurus japonicus lives in colder waters along the continental shelves in the China Seas, while Trichiurus nanhaiensis lives warmer waters along continental slopes in the South China Sea, and Trichiurus brevis lives in shallow and warmer waters in the South China Sea. The migrations of these species were mainly associated with feeding and spawning preferences. Two major wintering and spawning grounds in the East China Sea and South China Sea were found. All species showed a lack of population genetic structure resulting from their oceanodromous life cycle (the degree of population substructure index N ST = 0.000–0.149), but the results of approximate Bayesian computational approaches suggested population declines or stabilization and differentiation. The results of the T MRCA (time to the most recent common ancestor) showed that during glaciations, the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea were completely exposed, and the South China Sea acted as a refugium. Thus, the populations of these three species experienced differentiation during glaciations. This study also examined the limitations of Bayesian skyline plot analysis.

Joint effects of environmental filtering and dispersal limitation on the species assemblage of the Tibetan Plateau - Jiekun He; Haoxian Lin; Runxi Wang; Chao Dai; Hongyin Yu; Jiahao Tu; Jiehua Yu; Haisheng Jiang (Journal of Biogeography, 2022)
Aim Mountains harbour a rich and non‐random cluster of species, yet knowledge of the species' biological attributes that support their coexistence in the montane community is limited. Here, we investigated the association of species occurrence on the Tibetan Plateau with their morphological, ecological or evolutionary constraints. Location Tibetan Plateau (TP). Taxon Mammals and birds. Methods We tested whether species occurrence on the TP correlates with morphological, ecological or evolutionary constraints using the spatial distribution, phylogeny, dispersal ability and thermal niche property data for 1353 terrestrial vertebrates (383 mammals and 970 birds). We used standard (non‐phylogenetic) and phylogenetic logistic regressions to elucidate the relative contributions of these attributes of species to explaining their occurrence on the TP. We assessed the geographical patterns of the community structures on the TP and fitted linear mixed models to explore the underlying eco‐evolutionary forces. Results The TP species exhibited a higher cold tolerance, wider thermal niche breadth and higher rate of niche evolution than non‐TP species. We supported the assumption that the TP species were not a random subset from the species pool, but were structured jointly by environmental filtering and dispersal limitation. While dispersal and ecological processes underlying species assemblages varied spatially and among taxa, we found that species in stressful environments were limited by environmental filtering, whereas dispersal limitation was more pronounced under favourable climatic conditions. Main conclusions Our study finds that environmental filtering and dispersal limitation jointly shape the species assemblage on the TP. These findings provide significant insights into community assembly processes on the TP and other montane ecosystems on Earth, especially those that are sensitive to global warming.

Molecular Characterization of Aquaporins Genes from the Razor Clam Sinonovacula constricta and Their Potential Role in Salinity Tolerance - Wenbin Ruan; Yinghui Dong; Zhihua Lin; Lin He (Fishes, 2022)
Aquaporins (AQPs) play crucial roles in osmoregulation, but the knowledge about the functions of AQPs in Sinonovacula constricta is unclear. In this study, Sc-AQP1, Sc-AQP8, and Sc-AQP11 were identified from S. constricta, and the three Sc-AQPs are highly conserved compared to the known AQPs. The qRT-PCR analysis revealed that the highest mRNA expressions of Sc-AQP1, Sc-AQP8, and Sc-AQP11 were detected in the gill, digestive gland, and adductor muscle, respectively. In addition, the highest mRNA expression of Sc-AQP1 and Sc-AQP11 was detected in the D-shaped larvae stage, whereas that of SC-AQP8 was observed in the umbo larvae stage. The mRNA expression of Sc-AQP1, Sc-AQP8, and Sc-AQP11 significantly increased to 12.45-, 12.36-, and 27.44-folds post-exposure of low salinity (3.5 psu), while only Sc-AQP1 and Sc-AQP11 significantly increased post-exposure of high salinity (35 psu) (p

The management of bone defect using long non-coding RNA as a potential biomarker for regulating the osteogenic differentiation process - Jia-lin Liu; Yan-shi Liu; Mei-jie Zheng; Hui-yu He (Molecular Biology Reports, 2022)
Tissue engineered bone brings hope to the treatment of bone defects, and the osteogenic differentiation of stem cells is the key link. Inducing osteogenic differentiation of stem cells may be a potential approach to promote bone regeneration. In recent years, lncRNA has been studied in the field increasingly, which is believed can regulate cell cycle, proliferation, metastasis, differentiation and immunity, participating in a variety of physiology and pathology processes. At present, it has been confirmed that certain lncRNAs regulate the osteogenesis of stem cells and take part in mediating signaling pathways including Wnt/β-catenin, MAPK, TGF-β/BMP, and Notch pathways. Here, we provided an overview of lncRNA, reviewed its researches in the osteogenic differentiation of stem cells, emphasized the importance of lncRNA in bone regeneration, and focused on the roles of lncRNA in signaling pathways, in order to make adequate preparations for applying lncRNA to bone tissue Engineering, letting it regulate the osteogenic differentiation of stem cells for bone regeneration.

Morphological and Molecular Characterization of Paragonimus skrjabini Complex from Yunnan, China: A Brief Report - Qiu-Hong Shu; Shu-De Li; Ming Tian; Yong Meng; Shu-Mei-Qi He; Min Zhu; Miao-Miao Wang; Wen-Lin Wang (Acta Parasitologica, 2022)
Purpose To perform environmental sampling and molecular identification of Paragonimus in endemic regions, which may help in minimizing transmission among humans. Methods Mountain crabs from the genus Potamiscus were collected and the encysted metacercariae were extracted and subjected to morphological identification, followed by animal inoculation in Sprague–Dawley (SD) rats. After 112 days of infection, animals were killed and adult worms were extracted from lungs and muscles. The morphology of adult worms was characterized by microscopy and molecular identification was done by polymerase chain reaction, followed by sequencing of cox1 and ITS2 genes. Phylogenetic analysis was done by maximum parsimony method. Results A total of 447 crabs were captured from the streams of Tongchang Town, Jinping County, Yunnan Province, China. The infection rate was found to be 41% (186 out of 447 crabs). The metacercariae of Paragonimus skrjabini was identified by the characteristics round or spherical encysted form measuring 410 to 460 × 400 to 460 µm. After animal infection in SD rats, adults were presumptively confirmed to be P. skrjabini , which was also confirmed by gene amplification and sequence analysis of cox1 and ITS2 regions. Paragonimus skrjabini clustered with previously reported P. skrjabini from Yunnan and Vietnam. The confidence values of their branches were > 95%. Phylogenetic analysis of the ITS2 region revealed two distinct clusters with distinct geographical grouping. Phylogenetic analysis with the combined data sets reiterated the geographical grouping with P. skrjabini from Yunnan clustering with strains from Vietnam. Conclusion Metacercariae of P. skrjabini was discovered in freshwater crabs in Yunnan province, China, and the strains were phylogenetically related to P. skrjabini from Vietnam.

Warming effects on grassland productivity depend on plant diversity - Junjiong Shao; Xuhui Zhou; Kees Jan van Groenigen; Guiyao Zhou; Huimin Zhou; Lingyan Zhou; Meng Lu; Jianyang Xia; Lin Jiang; Bruce A. Hungate; Yiqi Luo; Fangliang He; et al. (Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2022)
Aim Climate warming and biodiversity loss both alter plant productivity, yet we lack an understanding of how biodiversity regulates the responses of ecosystems to warming. In this study, we examine how plant diversity regulates the responses of grassland productivity to experimental warming using meta‐analytic techniques. Location Global. Major taxa studied Grassland ecosystems. Methods Our meta‐analysis is based on warming responses of 40 different plant communities obtained from 20 independent studies on grasslands across five continents. Results Our results show that plant diversity and its responses to warming were the most important factors regulating the warming effects on plant productivity, among all the factors considered (plant diversity, climate and experimental settings). Specifically, warming increased plant productivity when plant diversity (indicated by effective number of species) in grasslands was lower than 10, whereas warming decreased plant productivity when plant diversity was greater than 10. Moreover, the structural equation modelling showed that the magnitude of warming enhanced plant productivity by increasing the performance of dominant plant species in grasslands of diversity lower than 10. The negative effects of warming on productivity in grasslands with plant diversity greater than 10 were partly explained by diversity‐induced decline in plant dominance. Main conclusions Our findings suggest that the positive or negative effect of warming on grassland productivity depends on how biodiverse a grassland is. This may mainly be due to differences in how warming may affect plant dominance and subsequent shifts in interspecific interactions in grasslands of different plant diversity levels.

Effects of Suspended Particles on Exopolysaccharide Secretion of Two Microalgae in Jinjiang Estuary (Fujian, China) - Jie Liu; Xiaoyu Han; Hui Xing; Yiting Nan; Jiahui Lin; Junming He; Sijia Chen; Yanfang Wei; Peiyong Guo (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
The effects of suspended particles (SP) of different concentrations and sizes on the secretion of exopolysaccharide (EPS) by Chlorella pyrenoidosa (C. pyrenoidosa) and Microcystis flos-aquae (M. flos-aquae) in Jinjiang Estuary, Fujian Province, China were studied in co-cultures of microalgae and SP. The results show that the SP concentration has an “inhibit–promote–inhibit” effect on the secretion of EPS by C. pyrenoidosa, whereby there is an optimal concentration of SP corresponding to the largest amount of EPS secreted by C. pyrenoidosa. Low concentrations had no significant effect on the secretion of EPS from M. flos-aquae (p > 0.05), whereas higher concentrations had an inhibitory effect. The C. pyrenoidosa EPS content was found to be significantly decreased in response to SP of small particle sizes (0–75 and 75–120 μm) and significantly increased for SP of large particle sizes (120–150 and 150–500 μm). Small particle sizes (0–75 and 75–120 μm) were found to be beneficial to the secretion of EPS from M. flos-aquae, and the promotion of EPS secretion gradually decreased with the increase in SP particle size. However, when the particle size was too large (120–150 and 150–500 μm), SP had no significant effect on EPS secretion. This study is helpful for understanding the microalgae EPS secretion response to SP and provides a scientific basis for studying the mechanism of EPS secretion by algae and the effect of SP on eutrophication of the estuary.

Poyang Lake, the largest freshwater lake in China, possesses abundant fishery resources, but its fish stock status is still unclear. In this work, the stock status of and fishing efforts of nine major economic fishes in the Poyang Lake were estimated from 2000 to 2019 with a catch-based maximum sustainable yield (CMSY) model based on catch and resilience data. It was further predicted whether the biomass of those fishes could be restored to support maximum sustainable yield (Bmsy) under the policy of “Ten years fishing moratorium in the Yangtze River”. The results showed that goldfish Carassius auratus, grass carp Ctenopharyngodon idella, and black carp Mylopharyngodon piceus suffered from higher fishing efforts and low biomass in the past 20 years; bighead carp Hypophthalmichthys nobilis, yellow catfish Tachysurus fulvidraco, and common carp Cyprinus carpio responded differently to their fishing efforts; silver carp Hypophthalmichthys molitrix, Amur catfish Silurus asotus, and mandarin fish Siniperca chuatsi were underexploited. Six species were overfished in 2019, and their biomass would be expected to recover for sustainable exploitation during the fishing moratorium, except for M. piceus. This study provided a case study of feasible freshwater fishery evaluation in limnetic ecosystems.

Beryllium-7 and Lead-210 are Associated with an Increase in the Arctic Oscillation: Evidence from Atmospheric Aerosols in a Remote Tropical Region in East Asia - Xiaoxia Chen; Wuhui Lin; Xianwen He; Liangliang Feng; Kuo-Ying Wang (Asia-Pacific Journal of Atmospheric Sciences, 2022)
The Arctic Oscillation (AO) accounts for a large fraction of recent decadal climate trends in Northern Hemisphere (NH) high latitudes. In East Asia, an elevated AO index (AOI) was associated with warmer temperatures in middle- to high-latitude regions, colder temperatures over low-latitude regions, and elevated ozone intrusion from the stratosphere. Elevated beryllium-7 ( 7 Be) is produced in the stratosphere. Few studies have discussed the relationship between 7 Be and the AO. Here, we identify the AO signature in 7 Be and lead (Pb)-210 observed at a tropical ambient monitoring site in Nanning (22.8°N, 108.5°E) during the December 2014–December 2017 period. Our results show that the 7 Be and 210 Pb concentrations are positively and significantly correlated with the AOI ( P 7 Be and 210 Pb are associated with an increase in the AOI, reflecting air masses originating from NH high latitudes and vertically from the high-latitude upper troposphere and lower stratosphere regions to tropical latitudes in East Asia. These results have been verified with ozonesonde data without seasonality and with two meteorological data sets. Our results are also confirmed by observational data over the Pacific regions. We conclude that the AO exerts impacts over the tropical regions in East Asia, and 7 Be can be used as a tracer to track the impacts of the AO.

Coupling Relationship of Human Activity and Geographical Environment in Stage-Specific Development of Urban Coastal Zone: A Case Study of Quanzhou Bay, China (1954–2020) - Xianbiao Xiao; Yunhai Li; Fangfang Shu; Liang Wang; Jia He; Xiaochun Zou; Wenqi Chi; Yuting Lin; Binxin Zheng (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Owing to the development of the social economy, the geographical environment and ocean utilization patterns of urban coastal zones have changed. This change, in turn, has influenced the socio-economic development of urban coastal zones. Based on the Geographic Information System technology, the area, coastline length, and shoreland use function of reclamation areas were obtained from the geographic charts (1954–2020) and remote sensing data (1988–2017) of Quanzhou Bay. In this study, we analyzed the geomorphologic change process and the relationship between land use patterns and economic development in Quanzhou Bay from the perspectives of hydrodynamics, sediments, and human activity. Our results indicated that over the past 70 years, the bay area has reduced by 21.5%. The length of the coastline decreased from 208.36 km in 1959 to 149.11 km in 1988, whereas the shape index of the bay (SIB) decreased from 3.09 to 2.41 during the same period. Between 1988 and 2017, the coastline increased to 162.91 km, causing the SIB to increase to 2.72. The artificial index of the bay increased from 0.28 in 1959 to 0.90 in 2017. The intensity of bay the development (IBD) first increased from 0.27 in 1959 to 0.77 in 2006. During the transition to a more modern society (2006 to present), the IBD slightly decreased to 0.73 in 2017. Affected by human activity, the transformation of the reclaimed land in Quanzhou Bay can be divided into four stages that are closely linked to the economic development in the region. In the early industrialization period, reclaimed land in the region was used for agricultural production, whereas in the mid-industrialization period, it was gradually transformed into a combination of industrial (29.8%) and agricultural (56.1%) lands. In the later period of industrialization, the reclaimed land was gradually converted into urban industrial and port lands. Finally, with further refinement and upgrading of economic and industrial structures, the socio-economic and environmental benefits from coastal reclamation projects have been increasing, whereas the proportion of economic benefits (in the total benefits) has been decreasing. The results of this study can provide decision-making references for the optimization of utilization patterns and the economic development of reclamation lands in coastal areas.
