Massive nutrients offshore transport off the Changjiang Estuary in flooding summer of 2020 - Qianwen Sun; Dewang Li; Bin Wang; Zhongsheng Xu; Yanyi Miao; Hua Lin; Haiyan Jin; Zhibing Jiang; Jiangning Zeng; Feng Zhou; Jianfang Chen (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
Flood events significantly increase water discharges and terrigenous material inputs to coastal waters. Riverine nutrients in the Changjiang Estuary are transported by the dispersion of Changjiang Diluted Water (CDW) plumes and detached low-salinity water patches. However, the effects of flooding on nutrient offshore transports have not been well explored. Here, we present the nutrient conditions in the Changjiang Estuary and adjacent East China Sea in the historical flooding year 2020. Comparisons of nutrient distributions between flooding years, drought year and non-flooding years were also made. Our results showed that nitrate flux from the Changjiang River in August 2020 was 1.5 times that of the multi-year averaged flux in non-flooding years. Enormous riverine nutrient input resulted in much higher nutrient concentrations in the outer estuary than those in non-flooding years. In addition, a detached low-salinity water patch was observed, which made the salinity of the northern estuary even lower than that in the historical flooding year 1998. Surface dissolved inorganic nitrate (DIN) level in the low-salinity water patch was even ~16 times of that at nearby station in the drought year 2006. While phosphate (PO 4 3− ) concentrations were less than 0.1 μmol L −1 east of 123°E, which was probably caused by intensive biological uptake, as indicated by a high Chlorophyll a (Chl a ) concentration (29.08 μg L −1 ). The depleted PO 4 3− and high N/P of the low-salinity water patch suggested PO 4 3− limitation even under flood conditions. A three end-member mixing model was adopted to identify the contributions of the CDW end-member (CDW end-member ) and biological process to nutrient distributions. Our model results showed that the nutrient contribution of the CDW end-member to the estuary (122–124°E, 31–32.5°N) in flooding year 2020 was over double that in drought year 2006. Model-derived biological DIN uptake was as high as 24.65 μmol L −1 at the low-salinity water patch. Accordingly, the estimated net community production was 566–1131 mg C m −2 d −1 within the euphotic zone. The offshore transport of a low-salinity, high-DIN water patch during flooding could probably have a significant influence on biogeochemical cycles in the broad shelf, and even the adjacent Japan Sea.

Subsurface oxygen minima regulated by remineralization and bottom flushing along 123°E in the inner East China Sea - Bin Wang; Jianfang Chen; Haiyan Jin; Dewang Li; Shengquan Gao; Shichao Tian; Lin Sun; Haizhou Zhang; Linwei Li (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
The summer hypoxia off the Changjiang Estuary is one of the largest coastal hypoxic systems in the world and has displayed spatial heterogeneity in recent years. Based on observation data in the summer of 2014, hypoxia was identified both in the bottom and mid-layers. Except for the typical bottom hypoxia in the submarine canyon, the subsurface oxygen minima (SOM) were captured in the mid-layer of 10~15 m, with lower dissolved oxygen in the mid-layer than at the bottom (30–50 m). This SOM phenomenon was located in the lower boundary of the pycnocline and above the Taiwan warm current (TWC) and Kuroshio subsurface water (KSSW). Due to the southern expansion of Changjiang diluted water (CDW), a high phytoplankton biomass (the maximum chlorophyll a of 25 μg L −1 , pH of 8.6, and DO of 11 mg L −1 ) band occupied the surface area along 123°E. By analyzing the 24-h continuous observation and high-resolution profile data, we revealed that the subsurface oxygen minima were predominantly controlled by remineralization and bottom-flushing effects. Fast local consumption occurred near the pycnocline layer, while the lateral transport of oxygen-rich ambient water replenished the bottom oxygen deficit from south to north. We summarize and contextualize three hot spots of hypoxia into a conceptual diagram and emphasize the influences of advection, mixing, and respiration on their location and severity. Overall, compared with the discussion about the low DO background of TWC/KSSW, this research highlights the flushing effects of TWC/KSSW that will reshape the hypoxia structure and alleviate the hypoxia severity in the south hypoxia area off the Changjiang Estuary.

How can diverse national food and land-use priorities be reconciled with global sustainability targets? Lessons from the FABLE initiative - Aline Mosnier; Guido Schmidt-Traub; Michael Obersteiner; Sarah Jones; Valeria Javalera-Rincon; Fabrice DeClerck; Marcus Thomson; Frank Sperling; Paula Harrison; Katya Pérez-Guzmán; Gordon Carlos McCord; Javier Navarro-Garcia; et al. (Sustainability Science, 2023)
There is an urgent need for countries to transition their national food and land-use systems toward food and nutritional security, climate stability, and environmental integrity. How can countries satisfy their demands while jointly delivering the required transformative change to achieve global sustainability targets? Here, we present a collaborative approach developed with the FABLE—Food, Agriculture, Biodiversity, Land, and Energy—Consortium to reconcile both global and national elements for developing national food and land-use system pathways. This approach includes three key features: (1) global targets, (2) country-driven multi-objective pathways, and (3) multiple iterations of pathway refinement informed by both national and international impacts. This approach strengthens policy coherence and highlights where greater national and international ambition is needed to achieve global goals (e.g., the SDGs). We discuss how this could be used to support future climate and biodiversity negotiations and what further developments would be needed.

(Sustainability Science, 2023)
Reactive nitrogen (N) is a requisite nutrient for agricultural production, but results in greenhouse gas and air and water pollution. The environmental and economic impacts of N fertilizer use in China are particularly relevant, as China consumes the largest amount of N fertilizer in the world to meet its soaring food demand. Here, we use an agro-economic land system model (MAgPIE) in combination with a difference-in-differences econometric model to provide a forward-looking assessment of China’s fertilizer policies in terms of removing fertilizer manufacturing subsidies and implementing measures to improve agricultural nutrient management efficiency. Our model results indicate that enhancing soil N uptake efficiency and manure recycled to soil alongside fertilizer subsidy removal can largely reduce N fertilizer use and N losses and abate N pollution in the short and long term, while food security remains largely unaffected. Enhancing soil N uptake efficiency appears to be decisive to achieving China’s national strategic target of zero growth in N fertilizer use. This study also finds that improving agricultural nutrient management efficiency contributes to higher land productivity and less cropland expansion, with substantial benefits for the environment and food security.

Testing machine learning algorithms on a binary classification phenological model - Wujun Dai; Huiying Jin; Lin Zhou; Tong Liu; Yuhong Zhang; Zhiqiang Zhou; Yongshuo H. Fu; Guangze Jin (Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2023)
Aim Phenological models have become a vital tool for predicting future phenological responses to global climate change. Recently, machine learning (ML) has been used successfully to develop phenological models based on ground observations. However, fitting an observation series that has been observed for only a few years (or even a decade) can easily lead to overfitting, and it is still a great challenge to predict future phenology accurately based on a short observation series. Here, based on historical ground phenological observations, we construct an ML‐based binary classification phenological model that can be applied to temperate trees. Innovation We thoroughly describe the construction process of a species‐specific ML‐based binary classification phenological model that is suitable for phenological predictions in both spring and autumn. Through experiments, we evaluate 18 commonly used ML classification algorithms and the effects of two parameters on the prediction performance of the model. Finally, we compare the performance between the binary classification model and six widely used ecophysiological models for accuracy of spring phenological prediction. Main conclusions The median root mean square error (RMSE) of the binary classification model for the first flowering date (93 observation series) was only 2.99 days, which proves that it is a good method of phenological prediction for temperate trees. This model can effectively overcome the insufficient sample size of ground observations for specific species and provide new insights of phenological predictions for tropical and subtropical trees. The comparison of different ML algorithms showed that the median root mean square errors of the six algorithms were 3.7 days) in prediction of spring phenology. In addition, this model can help us to infer plant physiological mechanisms and drivers of phenological change and provide more accurate predictions of plant phenological responses to climate change.

Seasonal transition of precedent Indian Ocean basin mode and subsequent Indian Ocean Dipole without El Niño–Southern Oscillation impact - Mengke Zhang; Dachao Jin; Xudong Wang; Lin Chen; Jingjia Luo; Ziqian Wang (International Journal of Climatology, 2022)
As two pronounced anomaly patterns over the tropical Indian Ocean, the Indian Ocean basin mode (IOBM) and the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) feature phase‐locking with seasonal cycle. We find that IOBM and IOD exhibit significant connection without the influence of the preceding El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO). The tropical IOBM cooling in preceding winter, which is accompanied by anomalous westerlies in the lower troposphere of the tropical eastern Indian Ocean, can transit to a positive IOD in subsequent seasons. In boreal spring following a IOBM cooling, the equatorial wind anomalies over the Indian Ocean turn to easterlies due to the Rossby wave response to the decreased precipitation over the Maritime Continent region. The increased zonal gradient of the sea surface temperature anomalies in the tropical Indian Ocean favours the intrinsic Bjerknes feedback to build up a positive IOD. With the reinforcing process of the weakened Walker circulation in the tropical Indian Ocean, the positive IOD events develop during boreal summer and then reach the peak in following autumn. These results demonstrate that the IOD is transited from the preceding IOBM, which is independent of the influence of the preceding ENSO in boreal winter.

Simulation Study on the Sediment Dispersion during Deep-Sea Nodule Harvesting - Yuan Lin; Zixin Weng; Jin Guo; Xingshuang Lin; Nhan Phan-Thien; Jian Zhang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
During the harvesting of polymetallic nodules on the seabed, the sediment plume due to disturbance on the seabed impacts the benthic ecosystem. A numerical simulation based on the SPH (smooth particle hydrodynamics) method is used to estimate the time and length scale of the plume impact near the seabed during a small-scale harvesting process. The simulation result considerably agrees with the one from the lab-scale water-channel experiment. It is found that, in the sediment plume, the traced sub-plume with iso-surface of lower sediment concentration travels a longer distance, and spends a longer time to achieve the stable state. Moreover, with the increase of the releasing rate of the disturbed sediment, the sub-plume spreads over greater distance, which also needs more time to achieve the stable state.

The biological transformation of ammonium and urea in a eutrophic estuarine system in Southern China - Jin-Ming Tang; Min Nina Xu; Yuxuan Lin; Huangxin Chen; Haoquan Jin; Li-Li Han; Wenbin Zou; Shuh-Ji Kao (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Estuaries channel large amounts of anthropogenic nitrogen (N) from continents to the offshore where productivity is widely limited by N and phosphorus. Ammonium and urea, two reduced forms of anthropogenic N commonly observed, are the preferred substrates for various microorganisms (e.g., uptake by phytoplankton or bacteria and oxidation by nitrifier). Yet, it remains underexplored how they transform and their concentrations vary during transport in the estuary which may influence the offshore microbial community. We applied 15 N isotope tracer incubation techniques to determine the two main bio-consumption processes, i.e., uptake and oxidation, of ammonium and urea, in the dark for the Jiulong River Estuary, a eutrophic estuary in southeastern China. Results showed that light penetration depth ranged from 0.8-3.3 m leaving 76% of estuary water bodies to stay in dark situations throughout a day. Ammonia oxidation, which favors dark conditions, dominates the estuarine regenerated-N cycle, showing the rank: ammonia oxidation > ammonium uptake >> urea uptake ≈ urea oxidation. By compiling the reported case studies, we found the relatively low ratio of urea oxidation to ammonia oxidation was accompanied by a relatively high ammonium concentration. Microorganisms’ high preference for ammonium over urea may lead to an inhibitory-like phenomenon. An analogous effect was evident by the increased urea uptake at downstream when ammonium was down to a few µM. The obstructed urea utilization resulted in 10 times longer lifetime for urea relative to ammonium (surface: 19 ± 9 days; bottom 12 ± 7 days). Such an inhibitory-like effect allows urea to be preserved in the estuary and allows urea to be transported farther offshore to stimulate microorganisms capable of utilizing urea, which may have significant impacts on offshore ecology.

Development of a pressure-retaining separation and transfer system for sediment and overlying seawater - Jin Guo; Qixiao Zhou; Yongqiang Ge; Haonan Li; Qiaoling Gao; Ying Wang; Yuan Lin; Jiawang Chen (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Methane leakage at the interface between sediment and overlying seawater is an important basis for gas hydrate exploration. Therefore, a transfer device with working pressure of 30MPa and corresponding scheme are proposed to separate and transfer the sediment and overlying water inside the sampler under the condition of pressure-retaining. Based on the pressure relief valve with adjustable threshold pressure, the device transfers the overlying water by compressing the internal volume and transfers the sediment by secondary sampling. The performance of transfer device is studied by simulation and experiment. Based on the coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian approach in the Abaqus, the secondary sampling was investigated, and the penetration resistance and coring rate of the secondary sampling tube are 141N and 86.2%, respectively. By using the hydraulic simulation software AMESim, the pressure fluctuation caused by the movement of the mechanism during the transfer process was studied, and the pressure fluctuation amplitude is within 0.89 MPa. Furthermore, the laboratory transfer tests were carried out under high pressure conditions, and meantime, the simulation results are verified. Under the working condition of 30MPa, the device can maintain a pressure loss of no more than 8.0% (2.4MPa) within two hours, maintain pressure fluctuations during the transfer process within 4.8% (1.44MPa), and ensure that the pressure in the culture kettle decreases by 4.7% relative to the pressure in the sampler after the transfer, which shows the feasibility of the device application.

Numerical Investigation of Depressurization through Horizontal Wells in Methane-Hydrate-Bearing Sediments Considering Sand Production - Xuyang Guo; Yan Jin; Jingyu Zi; Jiaying Lin; Bolong Zhu; Qian Wen; Qi Jing (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Sand production has been identified as a key reason limiting sustained and commercial gas production in methane-hydrate-bearing sediments. Production tests in Canada and Japan were terminated partially because of excessive sand production in pilot wells. It is meaningful to carry out numerical investigations and sensitivity analyses to improve the understanding of sand production mechanisms during the exploitation of methane hydrates. This study introduces a numerical model to describe the coupled thermal–hydraulic–mechanical–chemical responses and sand production patterns during horizontal well depressurization in methane-hydrate-bearing sediments. The model is benchmarked with a variety of methane hydrate reservoir simulators. Results show that the spatial and temporal evolution patterns of multi-physical fields are different and the hydromechanical evolutions are the fastest. Gas production and sand production rates are oscillatory in the early stages and long-term rates become stable. Gas production is sensitive to rock physical and operational parameters and insensitive to rock mechanical properties such as cohesion. In contrast, sand production is sensitive to cohesion and insensitive to rock physical and operational parameters. Although cohesion does not directly affect gas productivity, gas productivity can be impaired if excessive sand production impedes production operations. This study provides insights into the sand production mechanism and quantifies how relevant parameters affect sand production during the depressurization in methane-hydrate-bearing sediments.

Study on the Contribution of Seaport to Urban Economy: An Empirical and Quantitative Analysis of Xiamen Port - Wei Liu; Yanbin Yang; Qiaoyun Luo; Xufeng Zeng; Chuxin Chen; Junfeng Zhu; Weishan Lin; Hongbin Chen; Weiwei Huo; Mengxiao He; Yuping Jin; Jiangyu Xu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
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.

Behavioral and transcriptomic changes in butenolide treated larvae of the cosmopolitan fouling bryozoan Bugulina (Bugula) neritina - Jin-You Liang; Yi-Fan Cheng; Xiao-Lin Huang; Ying Xu; Yue Him Wong; Yu Zhang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
The arborescent bryozoan Bugulina neritina is a cosmopolitan fouling species in sub-tropical to sub-temperate waters. The butenolide compound 5-octylfuran-2(5H)-one (hereafter named butenolide) reportedly inhibits larval settlement of B. neritina , but its effect on the larval behavioral and transcriptomic responses remained unclear. We report that 10 μg mL -1 or higher concentration of butenolide and/or prolonged treatment (10 h or longer) resulted in significant increase in larval mortality and prominent spiral larval swimming behavior. The transcriptomic analyses not only revealed up-regulation of typical stress-related protein genes in response to 10 mg mL -1 butenolide treatment, but also indicated up-regulation of mucin , synaptic genes and nitric oxide signaling genes. In addition, the expression of developmental genes and lipid biosynthesis genes were also affected. Overall, our larval behavior and transcriptome analyses reflected the impact of butenolide on the metabolism, neuronal and molecular signaling in B. neritina larvae.

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.

A super-large ensemble simulation dataset with 110 members has been produced by the fully coupled model FGOALS-g3 developed by researchers at the Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. This is the first dataset of large ensemble simulations with a climate system model developed by a Chinese modeling center. The simulation has the largest realizations up to now worldwide in terms of single-model initial-condition large ensembles. Each member includes a historical experiment (1850–2014) and an experiment (2015–99) under the very high greenhouse gas emissions Shared Socioeconomic Pathway scenario (SSP5-8.5). The dataset includes monthly and daily temperature, precipitation, and other variables, requiring storage of 275 TB. Additionally, the surface air temperature (SAT) and land precipitation simulated by the FGOALS-g3 super-large ensemble have been validated and projected. The ensemble can capture the response of SAT and land precipitation to external forcings well, and the internal variabilities can be quantified. The availability of more than 100 realizations will help researchers to study rare events and improve the understanding of the impact of internal variability on forced climate changes.

Systematic contributions of CFEM domain‐containing proteins to iron acquisition are essential for interspecies interaction of the filamentous pathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana - Yue‐Jin Peng; Jia Hou; Hao Zhang; Jia‐Hui Lei; Hai‐Yan Lin; Jin‐Li Ding; Ming‐Guang Feng; Sheng‐Hua Ying (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
Summary Common in fungal extracellular membrane (CFEM) domain is unique in fungal proteins and some of which contribute to iron acquisition in yeast. However, their roles in iron acquisition remain largely unknown in filamentous fungi. In this study, 12 CFEM‐containing proteins were bioinformatically identified in the filamentous entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana , and the roles of 11 genes were genetically characterized. Transmembrane helices were critical for their association with intracellular membranes, and their number varied among proteins. Eleven CFEM genes significantly contribute to vegetative growth under iron starvation and virulence. Notably, the virulence of most disruptants could be significantly weakened by a decrease in iron availability, in which the virulence of Δ Bbcfem7 and 8 strains was partially recovered by exogenous hemin. Δ Bbcfem7 and 8 mutants displayed defective competitiveness against the sister entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria brongniartii . All 11 disruptants displayed impaired growth in the antagonistic assay with the saprotrophic fungus Aspergillus niger , which could be repressed by exogenous ferric ions. These findings not only reveal the systematic contributions of CFEM proteins to acquire two forms of iron (i.e. heme and ferric ion) in the entire lifecycle of entomopathogenic fungi but also help to better understand the mechanisms of fungus–host and inter–fungus interactions.

Summary The recently proposed order Candidatus Thermoprofundales, currently containing only one family‐level lineage Marine Benthic Group‐D (MBG‐D), is distributed in global subsurface ecosystems and ecologically important, but its diversity, evolution and metabolism remain largely unknown. Here we described two novel family‐level specialized lineages in Ca . Thermoprofundales, JdFR‐43 and HyVt, which are restricted to specific biotopes (primarily in marine hydrothermal vents and occasionally in oil reservoirs and hot springs) in contrast to the cosmopolitan lineage MBG‐D. The comparative genomics revealed that the specialized lineages have streamlined genomes, higher GC contents, enriched genes associated with nucleotide biosynthesis, ribosome biogenesis and DNA repair and additional thermostable aminopeptidases, enabling them to adapt to high‐temperature habitats such as marine hydrothermal vents, deep subsurface oil reservoirs and hot springs. On the contrary, the unique metabolic traits of the cosmopolitan MBG‐D, motility, glycolysis, butanoate metabolism, secondary metabolites production and additional genes for specific peptides and carbohydrates degradation potentially enhance its response to environmental change. Substrate preference is found for most MAGs across all lineages with the ability to utilize both polysaccharides (chitin and starch) and proteinaceous substances, whereas JdFR‐43 members from oil reservoirs can only utilize proteins. These results expand the diversity of C a . Thermoprofundales significantly and further improve our understandings of the adaptations of C a . Thermoprofundales to various environments.

Potential Application of Biosurfactant-Producing Bacteria for Bioremediation of Oil Polluted Marine Intertidal Sediments - Ping Guo; Wei-Wei Xu; Dan-Na Wei; Man-Xia Zhang; Jin Zhang; Shi Tang; Bin-Xia Cao; Jian-Guo Lin; Wei Li (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
The removal of oil contaminants in marine intertidal sediments under cold climate is an urgent issue. Although the bioavailability of petroleum hydrocarbons decreases at low temperatures, biosurfactants can promote oil biodegradation. In this study, characteristics of biosurfactants produced by cold-adapted oil-degrading bacteria Planococcus sp. XW-1 were studied. Adding the XW-1 biosurfactant could effectively facilitate the solubility of phenanthrene, pyrene, diesel oil, and crude oil. The solubilization was limited by the number of rings and the molecular weight (WSRphenanthrene = 0.0234; WSRpyrene = 0.0165; WSRdiesel oil = 0.0027; WSRcrude oil = 0.0015). Additional biosurfactants significantly washed out crude oil adsorbed to the sand (reduction from 17.1%, 22.7% to 87.9% and 94.28% in 24 h). With the increase in particle size, the removal efficiency increased from 87.9% to 94.28%. After the addition of biosurfactant, the effect of degradation increased by 20% in 20 days. The results suggest that the biosurfactant-producing bacteria Planococcus sp. XW-1 is a promising candidate used in the in situ bioremediation of petroleum-contaminated intertidal sediment.

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.

Functional traits explain the consistent resistance of biodiversity to plant invasion under nitrogen enrichment - Shao‐peng Li; Pu Jia; Shu‐ya Fan; Yingtong Wu; Xiang Liu; Yani Meng; Yue Li; Wen‐sheng Shu; Jin‐tian Li; Lin Jiang (Ecology Letters, 2022)
Elton's biotic resistance hypothesis, which posits that diverse communities should be more resistant to biological invasions, has received considerable experimental support. However, it remains unclear whether such a negative diversity–invasibility relationship would persist under anthropogenic environmental change. By using the common ragweed ( Ambrosia artemisiifolia ) as a model invader, our 4‐year grassland experiment demonstrated consistently negative relationships between resident species diversity and community invasibility, irrespective of nitrogen addition, a result further supported by a meta‐analysis. Importantly, our experiment showed that plant diversity consistently resisted invasion simultaneously through increased resident biomass, increased trait dissimilarity among residents, and increased community‐weighted means of resource‐conservative traits that strongly resist invasion, pointing to the importance of both trait complementarity and sampling effects for invasion resistance even under resource enrichment. Our study provides unique evidence that considering species’ functional traits can help further our understanding of biotic resistance to biological invasions in a changing environment.

Individual exposure to ambient PM2.5 and hospital admissions for COPD in 110 hospitals: a case-crossover study in Guangzhou, China - Jie-Qi Jin; Dong Han; Qi Tian; Zhao-Yue Chen; Yun-Shao Ye; Qiao-Xuan Lin; Chun-Quan Ou; Li Li (Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2022)
Few studies have evaluated the short-term association between hospital admissions and individual exposure to ambient particulate matter (PM 2.5 ). Particularly, no studies focused on hospital admissions for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) at the individual level. We assessed the short-term effects of PM 2.5 on hospitalization admissions for COPD in Guangzhou, China, during 2014–2015, based on satellite-derived estimates of ambient PM 2.5 concentrations at a 1-km resolution near the residential address as individual-level exposure for each patient. Around 40,002 patients with COPD admitted to 110 hospitals were included in this study. A time-stratified case-crossover design with conditional logistic regression models was applied to assess the effects of PM 2.5 based on a 1-km grid data of aerosol optical depth provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration on hospital admissions for COPD. Further, we performed stratified analyses by individual demographic characteristics and season of hospital admission. Around 10 μg/m 3 increase in individual-level PM 2.5 was associated with an increase of 1.6% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.6%, 2.7%) in hospitalization for COPD at a lag of 0–5 days. The impact of PM 2.5 on hospitalization for COPD was greater significantly in males and patients admitted in summer. Our study strengthened the evidence for the adverse effect of PM 2.5 based on satellite-based individual-level exposure data.

Study on the Motion Stability of the Autonomous Underwater Helicopter - Yuan Lin; Jin Guo; Haonan Li; Hai Zhu; Haocai Huang; Ying Chen (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
The hydrodynamic performance of a novel hovering autonomous underwater vehicle, the autonomous underwater helicopter (AUH), with an original disk-shaped hull (HG1) and an improved fore–aft asymmetric hull (HG3), is investigated by means of computational fluid dynamics with the adoption of overlapping mesh method. The hydrodynamic performance of the two hull shapes in surge motion with variation of the angle of attack is compared. The results show that HG3 has less resistance and higher motion stability compared to HG1. With the angle of attack reaching 10 degrees, both HG1 and HG3 achieve the maximum lift-to-drag ratio, which is higher for HG3 compared to HG1. Furthermore, based on the numerical simulation of the plane motion mechanism test (PMM) and according to Routh’s stability criterion, the horizontal movement and vertical movement stability indexes of HG1 and HG3 (GHHG1=1.0, GVHG1=49.7, GHHG2=1.0, GVHG3=2.1) are obtained, which further show that the AUH has better vertical movement stability than the torpedo-shaped AUV. Furthermore, the scale model tail velocity experiment indirectly shows that HG3 has better hydrodynamic performance than HG1.

Mutual cheating strengthens a tropical seed dispersal mutualism - Lin Cao; Patrick A. Jansen; Bo Wang; Chuan Yan; Zhenyu Wang; Jin Chen (Ecology, 2022)
While cheating can cause the degradation or collapse of mutualisms, mutualisms may theoretically stabilize or strengthen if the cheating is mutual. Here, we present an asymmetric two‐player game model to explore the evolutionary dynamics of mutual cheating in a mutualistic interaction. We found that the interaction evolved toward mutual cheating if cheating can help both partners obtain higher benefits or if counter‐cheating yields more benefits to victims than simply tolerating exploitation by partners. Then, we present empirical evidence for such mutual cheating strengthening a seed dispersal mutualism in which rodents disperse seeds by scatter hoarding, rodents sabotage seed germination by pruning radicles, and seeds escape rodents by resprouting. By tracking >8,000 Pittosporopsis kerrii seeds throughout the dispersal process in a tropical forest in southwest China, we found that rodents provided better dispersal to seeds that they pruned, i.e., pruned seeds were dispersed farther and were more likely to establish seedlings than unpruned seeds. Compared with unpruned seeds, pruned seeds retained more of their nutrients, i.e., dry mass of pruned seeds was greater than that of unpruned seeds, and were stored for longer by rodents. These findings indicate that mutual cheating benefited both partners. Payoffs estimated from the field experiments indicated that mutual cheating was indeed favored in rodents and plants P. kerrii , and that neither partner was enslaved by the other under mutual cheating. Rather, the mutualism remained stable because the partners were able to exploit each other, and each partner attempted to gain the maximum benefits from the interaction. Our findings indicate that mutual cheating between two mutualists can enhance and stabilize mutualisms.

Fighting climate change: soil bacteria communities and topography play a role in plant colonization of desert areas - Xiao Sun; Jin Pei; Lei Zhao; Bashir Ahmad; Lin‐Fang Huang (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Global warming has exacerbated desertification in arid regions. Exploring the environmental variables and microbial communities that drive the dynamics of geographic patterns of desert crops is important for large‐scale standardization of crops that can control desertification. Here, predictions based on future climate data from CMIP6 show that a steady expand in the suitable production areas for three desert plants ( Cistanche deserticola , Cynomorium songaricum and Cistanche salsa ) under global warming, demonstrating their high adaptability to future climate change. We examined the biogeography of three desert plant soil bacteria communities and assessed the environmental factors affecting the community assembly process. The α‐diversity significantly decreased along elevated latitudes, indicating that the soil bacterial communities of the three species have latitude diversity patterns. The neutral community model evaluated 66.6% of the explained variance of the bacterial community in the soil of desert plants and Modified Stochasticity Ratio Streptomyces eurythermus and OTU4672: Streptomyces flaveus ) drive the colonization of three desert plants. This research offers a promising solution for desert management in arid areas under global warming.

Research on targeted land poverty alleviation patterns based on the precise identification of dominant factors of rural poverty: a case study of Siyang County, Jiangsu Province, China - Min Min; Chen Lin; Xuejun Duan; Zhifeng Jin; Luocheng Zhang (Environment, Development and Sustainability, 2021)
Poverty is a common problem faced by various social and economic forms. Eliminating poverty is a major issue of common concern and research all over the world. Land policies for poverty alleviation are an effective means of affecting land agriculture development, increasing the productivity of cultivated land, and promoting growth in farmers’ income and production. In recent years, it has played an important role in promoting poverty alleviation in poverty-stricken areas. However, the poverty alleviation needs of township units have not been precisely identified, and one-size-fits-all land policies are unable to effectively allocate poverty alleviation resources. Consequently, the actual efficiency of policies has been severely restricted, leading to regional differences in poverty alleviation. In response to this bottleneck, this study takes Siyang County in Jiangsu Province as a case study and adopts the geographical detector model to diagnose and identify the spatial differentiation characteristics and dominant factors of poverty and in various townships. The results can be summarised as ‘four dominant factors of poverty—four regional types of poverty townships—four targeted land poverty alleviation patterns’. Detailed results are as follows: the dominant factors affecting differentiation of rural poverty in Siyang County are labour, technology, land resources, and financial support. The various townships of the county were thus classified into four types according to the main factor affecting poverty: labour-constrained, land-constrained, capital-constrained, and technique-constrained, and proposed four targeted land poverty alleviation patterns for the different constraint types and then to improve the effectiveness of land development policies to successfully achieve precise poverty alleviation and reinforce strategies revitalising rural communities.

Regionality, comprehensiveness, and complexity are regarded as the basic characteristics of geography. The exploration of their core connotations is an essential way to achieve breakthroughs in geography in the new era. This paper focuses on the important method in geographic research: Geographic modeling and simulation. First, we clarify the research requirements of the said three characteristics of geography and its potential to address geo-problems in the new era. Then, the supporting capabilities of the existing geographic modeling and simulation systems for geographic research are summarized from three perspectives: Model resources, modeling processes, and operational architecture. Finally, we discern avenues for future research of geographic modeling and simulation systems for the study of regional, comprehensive and complex characteristics of geography. Based on these analyses, we propose implementation architecture of geographic modeling and simulation systems and discuss the module composition and functional realization, which could provide theoretical and technical support for geographic modeling and simulation systems to better serve the development of geography in the new era.

Above‐ and belowground biodiversity jointly drive ecosystem stability in natural alpine grasslands on the Tibetan Plateau - Litong Chen; Lin Jiang; Xin Jing; Jiuluan Wang; Yu Shi; Haiyan Chu; Jin‐Sheng He (Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2021)
Aim Most existing studies that examined the biotic mechanisms of ecosystem stability have focused on aboveground biodiversity. Whether and how belowground biodiversity affects the stability of natural ecosystems is largely unknown. In the present study, we investigated the relationships between above‐ and belowground biodiversity and the temporal stability of grassland biomass production across a large gradient of soil and climatic conditions. Location Tibetan Plateau. Time period 2001–2016. Major taxa studied Alpine grass and soil bacteria, arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) fungi and fauna. Methods We coupled a field biodiversity survey conducted in 54 alpine grassland ecosystems across the Tibetan Plateau with a satellite‐sensed proxy (enhanced vegetation index, EVI) of ecosystem productivity during 2001–2016. The temporal stability of primary productivity was calculated as the ratio of the mean annual peak EVI to the standard deviation of the annual peak EVI over this period. Plant diversity was determined using a classic vegetation survey approach, soil bacterial and AM fungal diversity were measured using a high‐throughput sequencing approach, and soil fauna was counted and identified at the order level after being extracted using a modified Berlese–Tullgren method. Results Our results demonstrated that both above‐ and belowground biodiversity were positively associated with ecosystem stability. Belowground biodiversity not only affected ecosystem stability directly, but also influenced it indirectly through plant diversity and soil fertility. Furthermore, soil pH, climate and its variability strongly influenced soil biodiversity, which in turn influenced ecosystem stability. Main conclusions Our study demonstrates the indispensable role of belowground biodiversity in regulating ecosystem stability, emphasizing the necessity of conserving this ‘hidden’ biodiversity in fragile alpine ecosystems facing ongoing environmental change.

Cu2+ Inhibits the Peroxidase and Antibacterial Activity of Homodimer Hemoglobin From Blood Clam Tegillarca granosa by Destroying Its Heme Pocket Structure - Sufang Wang; Xiaopei Yu; Shunqin Zhang; Hongyu Jin; Zhongfa Chen; Zhihua Lin; Yongbo Bao (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Beyond its role as an oxygen transport protein, the homodimer hemoglobin of blood clam Tegillarca granosa (Tg-HbI) has been found to possess antibacterial activity. However, the mechanism of antibacterial activity of Tg-HbI remain to be investigated. In this study, we investigated the effects of Cu 2+ on the structure, peroxidase activity, and antibacterial ability of Tg-HbI. Tg-HbI was significantly inactivated by Cu 2+ in a non-competitive inhibition manner, following first-order reaction kinetics. The Spectroscopy results showed that Cu 2+ changed the iron porphyrin ring and the coordination of heme with proximal histidine of Tg-HbI, and increased the hydrophobicity of heme pocket. We found that proline could stabilize the heme pocket structure of Tg-HbI, hence, protect peroxidase activity and antimicrobial activity of Tg-HbI against damage by Cu 2+ . Our results suggest that Cu 2+ inhibits the peroxidase and antibacterial activity of Tg-HbI by destroying its heme pocket structure and Tg-HbI probably plays an antibacterial role through its peroxidase activity. This result could provide insights into the antibacterial mechanism of Tg-HbI.

The second version of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Earth System Model (CAS-ESM2.0) is participating in the Flux-Anomaly-Forced Model Intercomparison Project (FAFMIP) experiments in phase 6 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6). The purpose of FAFMIP is to understand and reduce the uncertainty of ocean climate changes in response to increased CO 2 forcing in atmosphere-ocean general circulation models (AOGCMs), including the simulations of ocean heat content (OHC) change, ocean circulation change, and sea level rise due to thermal expansion. FAFMIP experiments (including faf-heat, faf-stress, faf-water, faf-all, faf-passiveheat, faf-heat-NA50pct and faf-heat-NA0ct) have been conducted. All of the experiments were integrated over a 70-year period and the corresponding data have been uploaded to the Earth System Grid Federation data server for CMIP6 users to download. This paper describes the experimental design and model datasets and evaluates the preliminary results of CAS-ESM2.0 simulations of ocean climate changes in the FAFMIP experiments. The simulations of the changes in global ocean temperature, Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), OHC., and dynamic sea level (DSL), are all reasonably reproduced.

As a member of the Chinese modeling groups, the coupled ocean-ice component of the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Earth System Model, version 2.0 (CAS-ESM2.0), is taking part in the Ocean Model Intercomparison Project Phase 1 (OMIP1) experiment of phase 6 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6). The simulation was conducted, and monthly outputs have been published on the ESGF (Earth System Grid Federation) data server. In this paper, the experimental dataset is introduced, and the preliminary performances of the ocean model in simulating the global ocean temperature, salinity, sea surface temperature, sea surface salinity, sea surface height, sea ice, and Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) are evaluated. The results show that the model is at quasi-equilibrium during the integration of 372 years, and performances of the model are reasonable compared with observations. This dataset is ready to be downloaded and used by the community in related research, e.g., multi-ocean-sea-ice model performance evaluation and interannual variation in oceans driven by prescribed atmospheric forcing.

Community structure of bacterioplankton and its relationship with environmental factors in the upper reaches of the Heihe River in Qinghai Plateau - Zhang Qian‐Qian; Jian Sheng‐Long; Li Ke‐Mao; Wu Zhen‐Bing; Guan Hong‐Tao; Hao Jin‐Wen; Wang Shu‐Yi; Lin Yao‐Yao; Wang Guo‐Jie; Li Ai‐Hua (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Planktonic microorganisms play a key role in the biogeochemical processes of the aquatic system, and they may be affected by many factors. High‐throughput sequencing technology was used in this study to investigate and study the bacterioplankton community of water bodies in the upper reaches of the Heihe River Basin in Qinghai Plateau. Results showed that Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes and Actinobacteria are the predominant phyla in this river section, while the main genera are Thiomonas , Acidibacillus , Acidocella , Rhodanobacter , Acidithiobacter and Gallionella , which are autochthonous in the acid‐mine drainage. Additionally, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, permanganate index and pH are significantly correlated with the bacterioplankton abundance and are the main limiting factors for the spatial distribution of the bacterioplankton. PICRUSt inferred that the mainstream microbial assemblages had a higher abundance of KOs belong to metabolism of terpenoids and polyketides, while the tributary had higher abundance of KOs belong to the immune system. The relationship between bacterioplankton community composition and environmental factors in the Heihe River basin was discussed for the first time in this study, which provides a theoretical basis for the healthy, orderly development of the water environment in the Heihe River Basin.

Study on the Rheological Behavior of a Model Clay Sediment - Yuan Lin; Huaitao Qin; Jin Guo; Jiawang Chen (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
Clay sediments are the main component of seabed sediment. Interactions between the nano-sized, disk-shaped and charged clay particles are complicated, as they control the sediment’s rheology. In this study, we studied the rheological behavior of the clay sediment modeled by laponite and bentonite suspensions experimentally using a rotational rheometer. The yield stress decreased when water content increased. Meanwhile, the yield stress of the laponite suspension first increased and then decreased with increasing salinity. It is considered that the face-to-face repulsive electrostatic interaction between clay platelets dominated the yield behavior. A yield stress model was developed to describe the change of the yield stress with both the water content and the salinity. When the system started to flow, the viscosity decreased with increasing shear. A master curve of viscosity is was from the viscosity-stress curves at different water contents if the applied shear stress was normalized by the yield stress and the viscosity normalized by a characteristic viscosity. This study provides a preliminary understanding of the clay sediment rheology and its mechanism for the investigation on the flowing of the sediment systems with strong interparticle interaction.
