Identification and Expression Pattern Analysis of Bacterial Blight Resistance Genes in Oryza officinalis Wall ex Watt Under Xanthomonas oryzae Pv. oryzae Stress - Chunmiao Jiang; Suqin Xiao; Dingqin Li; Ling Chen; Qiaofang Zhong; Fuyou Yin; Tengqiong Yu; Xue Ke; Dunyu Zhang; Jian Fu; Yue Chen; Bo Wang; et al. (Plant Molecular Biology Reporter, 2019)
Background Bacterial blight (BB) caused by Xanthomonas oryzae Pv. oryzae ( Xoo ) is one of the most serious diseases of rice worldwide. Oryza officinalis Wall ex Watt, harboring abundant genetic diversity and disease resistance features, are important resources of exploring resistance genes with broad-spectrum resistance to BB. However, the molecular mechanisms and genes of BB resistance in O. officinalis have been rarely explored. Results Here, the BB resistance of four different origin O. officinalis populations in Yunnan were identified by seven representative hypervirulent Xoo races, which exhibited different BB resistance among four populations, in which the BB resistance of the Gengma_Lincang population was the strongest. In addition, the pathogenetic ability of seven Xoo races to O. officinalis was different in that the pathogenicity of PXO99 was stronger than that of C5. There were no remarkable differences in leaf microstructures among four O. officinalis populations, revealing the differences in resistance of four O. officinalis to BB are caused by the endogenous resistance genes. Furthermore, our results proved that there were no nine cloned BB resistance genes in four populations but possessed dominant Xa5 , dominant Xa13 , and recessive xa3/xa26 homologous alleles of xa5 , xa13 , and Xa3 / Xa26 resistance genes. These three homologous genes were isolated and cloned from four populations and named OoXa5 , OoXa13 , and Ooxa3 / xa26 . The expression profile revealed that the expression levels of OoXa13 and Ooxa3/xa26 were significantly down-regulated under PXO99 and C5 stress, especially in the Gengma_Lincang population, suggesting the O. officinalis might enhance BB resistance by down-regulating the expression level of OoXa13 and Ooxa3 / xa26 . Conclusion The BB resistance genes of O. officinalis had its own characteristics by expression pattern and BLAST analysis of OoXa5 , OoXa13 , and Ooxa3 / xa26 , which indicated that there might be new genes or molecular mechanism of BB resistance in O. officinalis. Our studies provided a solid foundation and reference for revealing the molecular mechanism of BB resistance in O. officinalis .

Multi‐model analysis of climate impacts on plant photosynthesis in China during 2000–2015 - Hao Yan; Shao‐Qiang Wang; Jun‐Bang Wang; Yun Cao; Ling‐Ling Xu; Men‐Xin Wu; Lu Cheng; Liu‐Xi Mao; Feng‐Hua Zhao; Xian‐Zhou Zhang; Yun‐Fen Liu; Yan‐Fen Wang; et al. (International Journal of Climatology, 2019)
Differences, arising from differences in gross primary production (GPP) model structures and driving forces, have fuelled arguments concerning interannual changes of GPP in China since 2000. To better investigate the interannual variability of GPP and its covariance with climate factors in China, this study adopted a multi‐model analysis based on three GPP models (i.e., Terrestrial Ecosystem Carbon flux model [TEC], Breathing Earth System Simulator model [BESS], and MOD17 GPP model). The results show that annual GPP in China increased by 0.021–0.057 Pg C year −1 from 2000 to 2015 attributable to atmospheric‐CO 2 fertilization effects and favourable climate change, that is, increasing precipitation ( P r ) and temperature ( T a ). However, northern China and southern China had a large difference in the amplitude of these GPP changes; annual GPP increased by 0.017–0.039 Pg C year −1 in northern China but only 0.001–0.018 Pg C year −1 in southern China. Northern China and southern China occupy contrasting climate zones and this contrast produced different interannual variability of GPP through different mechanisms. Northern China has a dry climate with GPP changes sensitive to P r . As a result, more P r along with higher T a in northern China produced the strong uptrend of GPP from 2000 to 2015. In contrast, southern China has a wet climate with its GPP sensitive to solar radiation and T a . For the interval of 2000–2015, decreasing radiation plus drought exerted a negative influence on GPP in southern China. This study highlights the diverse mechanisms in which climate change affects GPP in dry and wet climate zones. A robust multi‐model analysis is preferred to reduce uncertainties arising from a single GPP model and its driving data.

Chitin synthase is involved in vegetative growth, asexual reproduction and pathogenesis of Phytophthora capsici and Phytophthora sojae - Wei Cheng; Menglan Lin; Min Qiu; Liang Kong; Yuanpeng Xu; Yaning Li; Yan Wang; Wenwu Ye; Suomeng Dong; Shuilin He; Yuanchao Wang (Environmental Microbiology, 2019)
Summary Chitin is a structural and functional component of the fungal cell wall and also serves as a pathogen‐associated molecular pattern (PAMP) that triggers the innate immune responses of host plants. However, no or very little chitin is found in the fungus‐like oomycetes. In Phytophthora spp., the presence of chitin has not been demonstrated so far, although putative chitin synthase (CHS) genes, which encode the enzymes that synthesize chitin, are present in their genomes. Here, we revealed that chitin is present in the zoospores and released sporangia of Phytophthora , and this is most consistent with the transcriptional pattern of PcCHS in Phytophthora capsici and PsCHS1 in Phytophthora sojae . Disruption of the CHS genes indicated that PcCHS and PsCHS1 , but not PsCHS2 (which exhibited very weak transcription), have similar functions involved in mycelial growth, sporangial production, zoospore release and the pathogenesis of P. capsici and P. sojae . We also suggest that chitin in the zoospores of P. capsici can act as a PAMP that is recognized by the chitin receptors AtLYK5 or AtCERK1 of Arabidopsis . These results provide new insights into the biological significance of chitin and CHSs in Phytophthora and help with the identification of potential targets for disease control.

Two typical merging events of oceanic mesoscale anticyclonic eddies - Zi-Fei Wang; Liang Sun; Qiu-Yang Li; Hao Cheng (Ocean Science, 2019)
The long-term theoretical “energy paradox” of whether the final state of two merging anticyclones contains more energy than the initial state is studied by considering two typical merging events of ocean mesoscale eddies. The results demonstrate that the total mass (volume), total circulation (area integration of vorticity), and total angular momentum (AM) are conserved if the orbital AM relative to the center of mass is taken into account as the eddies rotate around the center of mass before merging. For subsurface merging, the mass trapped by the Taylor–Proudman effect above the subsurface eddies should also be included. Both conservation laws of circulation and orbital AM have been overlooked in previous theoretical studies. As a result of fusion during merging, the total eddy kinetic energy decreases slightly. In contrast, the total eddy potential energy (EPE) increases after merging. The increase in EPE is mostly supported by the loss of gravitational potential energy (PE) via eddy sinking below the original level prior to merging. This implies that the merging of eddies requires background gravitational PE to be converted to EPE. In contrast, the vorticity and enstrophy consequently decrease after merging. Thus, the eddy merging effect behaves as a “large-scale energy pump” in an inverse energy cascade. It is noted that eddy conservation and conversion laws depend on the laws of physical dynamics, even if additional degrees of freedom can be provided in a mathematical model.

Candidate genes underlying the quantitative trait loci for root-knot nematode resistance in a Cucumis hystrix introgression line of cucumber based on population sequencing - Chunyan Cheng; Xing Wang; Xuejiao Liu; Shuqiong Yang; Xiaqing Yu; Chuntao Qian; Ji Li; Qunfeng Lou; Jinfeng Chen (Journal of Plant Research, 2019)
The southern root-knot nematode (RKN), Meloidogyne incognita (Kofoid & White) Chitwood, is one of most destructive species of plant parasitic nematodes, causing significant economic losses to numerous crops including cucumber ( Cucumis sativus L. 2n = 14). No commercial cultivar is currently available with resistance to RKN, severely hindering the genetic improvement of RKN resistance in cucumber. An introgression line, IL10-1, derived from the interspecific hybridization between the wild species Cucumis hystrix Chakr. (2n = 24, HH) and cucumber, was identified with resistance to RKN. In this study, an ultrahigh-density genetic linkage bin-map, composed of high-quality single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), was constructed based on low-coverage sequences of the F 2:6 recombinant inbred lines derived from the cross between inbred line IL10-1 and cultivar ‘Beijingjietou’ CC3 (hereinafter referred to as CC3). Three QTLs were identified accounting for 13.36% (qRKN1-1), 9.07% and 9.58% (qRKN5-1 and qRKN5-2) of the resistance variation, respectively. Finally, four genes with nonsynonymous SNPs from chromosome 5 were speculated to be the candidate RKN-resistant related genes, with annotation involved in disease resistance. Though several gaps still exist on the bin-map, our results could potentially be used in breeding programs and establish an understanding of the associated mechanisms underlying RKN resistance in cucumber.

Summary The biofilm formation by Pseudomonas aeruginosa highly increases the bacterial resistance to antimicrobial agents and host immune clearance. The biofilm formation is positively regulated by two small RNAs, RsmY and RsmZ. Previously, we reported that mutation in the polynucleotide phosphorylase (PNPase) coding gene pnp increases the levels of RsmY/Z. However, in this study, we found that the biofilm formation is decreased in the pnp mutant, which is due to a defect in rhamnolipids production. The rhamnolipids production is regulated by the RhlI‐RhlR quorum sensing system. We found that PNPase influences the translation of RhlI through its 5′‐untranslated region (UTR) and identified that the sRNA P27 is responsible for the translational repression. In vitro translation experiments demonstrated that P27 directly represses the translation of the rhlI mRNA through its 5′UTR in an Hfq‐dependent manner. Point mutations in the rhlI 5′UTR or P27, which abolish the pairing between the two RNAs restore the rhlI expression and rhamnolipids production as well as the biofilm formation in the pnp mutant. Overall, our results reveal a novel layer of regulation of the Rhl quorum sensing system by the sRNA P27.

F‐box proteins MoFwd1, MoCdc4 and MoFbx15 regulate development and pathogenicity in the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae - Huan‐Bin Shi; Nan Chen; Xue‐Ming Zhu; Shuang Liang; Lin Li; Jiao‐Yu Wang; Jian‐Ping Lu; Fu‐Cheng Lin; Xiao‐Hong Liu (Environmental Microbiology, 2019)
Summary The Skp1‐Cul1‐F‐box‐protein (SCF) ubiquitin ligases are important parts of the ubiquitin system controlling many cellular biological processes in eukaryotes. However, the roles of SCF ubiquitin ligases remain unclear in phytopathogenic Magnaporthe oryzae . Here, we cloned 24 F‐box proteins and confirmed that 17 proteins could interact with MoSkp1, showing their potential to participate in SCF complexes. To determine their functions, null mutants of 21 F‐box‐containing genes were created. Among them, the F‐box proteins MoFwd1, MoCdc4 and MoFbx15 were found to be required for growth, development and full virulence. Fluorescent‐microscopy observations demonstrated that both MoFbx15 and MoCdc4 were localized to the nucleus, compared with MoFwd1, which was distributed in the cytosol. MoCdc4 and MoFwd1 bound to MoSkp1 via the F‐box domain, the deletion of which abrogated their function. Race tube and qRT‐PCR assays confirmed that MoFwd1 was involved in circadian rhythm by regulating transcription and protein stability of the core circadian clock regulator MoFRQ . Moreover, MoFWD1 also orchestrates conidial germination by influencing conidial amino acids pools and oxidative stress release. Overall, our results indicate that SCF ubiquitin ligases play indispensable roles in development and pathogenicity in M. oryzae .

How much of Typhoon Morakot's extreme rainfall is attributable to anthropogenic climate change? - Chung‐Chieh Wang; Li‐Shan Tseng; Chien‐Chang Huang; Shih‐How Lo; Cheng‐Ta Chen; Pi‐Yu Chuang; Nan‐Chou Su; K. Tsuboki (International Journal of Climatology, 2019)
Typhoon Morakot (2009), which made landfall in Taiwan during August 7–9, 2009, produced the highest rainfall and became the deadliest typhoon ever recorded in Taiwan since 1958. To assess the role of anthropogenic climate change in the typhoon‐related torrent, we compare the water budget between a pair of cloud‐resolving sensitivity experiments. The pair consists of a control simulation that reproduces Typhoon Morakot (2009) in current climate and a sensitivity simulation in which the same storm is placed in a slightly different climate background where the late 20th century anthropogenic climate change signal is removed. The anthropogenic signal is estimated with the CMIP5 experiments of 18 models for the period of 1985–2005, during which the global warming trend is discernible. In climate states that differ merely by a 20‐year mean anthropogenic change, Morakot (2009) yields 3.4–3.6% more total rainfall in the control experiment than its sensitivity counterpart within a radius of 300–500 km from the storm centre. Water budget analysis indicates that the increase in typhoon rainfall is mainly resulted from the enhanced convergence of vapour flux. The enhancement is, in turn, contributed by the increased tropospheric moisture due to global warming and, to a lesser extent, by a more active secondary circulation in the storm that is associated with the anthropogenic climate change.

Nutrient enrichment homogenizes taxonomic and functional diversity of benthic macroinvertebrate assemblages in shallow lakes - You Zhang; Long Cheng; Kuanyi Li; Lu Zhang; Yongjiu Cai; Xiaolong Wang; Jani Heino (Limnology and Oceanography, 2019)
Eutrophication alters the trophic dynamics in lakes and may result in biotic homogenization. How nutrient enrichment drives patterns of taxonomic and functional (i.e., trait‐based) homogenization of macroinvertebrate assemblages at within‐lake (local) and among‐lake (regional) scales is, however, not well understood. Taxonomic and functional compositions of macroinvertebrate assemblages in 41 lakes of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and Huaihe River were analyzed at within‐lake and among‐lake scales. Our results indicated that there was a significant difference in macroinvertebrate assemblages among lakes under different trophic status, and that total phosphorus was the major environmental factor that regulated both taxonomic and functional beta diversity of macroinvertebrate assemblages. That the abundances of pollution‐tolerant species (e.g., Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri and Microchironomus tabarui ) increased with trophic state contributed the most to among‐lake dissimilarity. Functional beta diversity was significantly positively correlated with taxonomic beta diversity, while functional beta diversity was on average lower than taxonomic beta diversity. A combination of univariate and multivariate techniques revealed that nutrient enrichment homogenized taxonomic and functional diversity of benthic macroinvertebrate assemblages in shallow lakes at within‐lake and among‐lake scales, and that there was an overall trend toward taxonomic homogenization that exceeded the trend of functional homogenization. Thus, taxonomic and functional compositions should be considered simultaneously to improve understanding of the response of aquatic communities to anthropogenic disturbance, as the loss and gain of species may be influenced by species‐specific features, and functional composition may exhibit a relatively high correspondence with changes in environmental conditions.

Gene structure, recombinant expression and function characterization of Siniperca chuatsi Fsrp‐3 - Jianhua Wang; Jia Cheng; Yulong Li; Huiling Yan; Ping Wu; Xin Zhu; Li Liu; Lin Chen; Wuying Chu; Jianshe Zhang (Journal of Fish Biology, 2019)
A full‐length complementary (c)DNA sequence encoding follistatin‐related protein 3 ( fsrp‐3 ) was determined from skeletal muscle in Chinese mandarin fish Siniperca chuatsi , its molecular structure was characterised and its function suggested. The putative structure of S. chuatsi Fsrp‐3 contains an N‐terminal domain and two follistatin domains. Quantitative reverse‐transcription (qRT)‐PCR assays revealed that fsrp‐3 messenger (m)RNA was differentially expressed among assayed tissues and was highly expressed in heart and intestine. fsrp‐3 mRNA exhibited increasing expression from the larval to the juvenile stage (500 g). To investigate the potential function of S. chuatsi fsrp‐3 in muscle growth, we constructed a Fsrp‐3 prokaryotic expression system and injected the purified Fsrp‐3 fusion protein into the dorsal muscle. Fsrp‐3 administration significantly influenced cross‐section area, satellite cell activation frequency and nuclear density of S. chuatsi muscle fibres. Following Fsrp‐3 treatment, the expression of myogenic regulatory factors was up‐regulated and decline in the expression of myostatin was observed. The study revealed that Fsrp‐3 may affect muscle growth by regulating myogenic regulatory factor expression and antagonizing myostatin function to initiate satellite cell activation and differentiation in S. chuatsi .

Development of Upwelling during the Sedimentary Period of the Organic-Rich Shales in the Wufeng and Longmaxi Formations of the Upper Yangtze Region and Its Impact on Organic Matter Enrichment - Shao-Ze Zhao; Yong Li; Hua-Jun Min; Tong Wang; Zhou Nie; Zhan-Zhao Zhao; Jia-Zhen Qi; Jin-Cheng Wang; Jia-Peng Wu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2019)
This study uses logging data, mineral component content, total organic carbon (TOC) content, and microscopic characteristics of the organic-rich shales in the Wufeng and Longmaxi Formations, as well as data reported by other researchers, to demonstrate that upwelling has played an important role in the organic matter enrichment. The results show that (1) the organic-rich shales of Well N211 in the Upper Yangtze region are located in the Wufeng Formation and the lower Longmaxi Formation, with a burial depth between 2308–2357 m. (2) The organic-rich shales are enriched in biogenic silica. (3) Based on paleogeographic location and characteristics of organisms, this study determines that upwelling occurred during the deposition of the organic-rich shales in the Wufeng and Longmaxi Formations, promoting the enrichment of organic matter in the shales. (4) The upwelling intensity gradually increased from the sedimentary period of the organic-rich shales in the mid-lower Wufeng Formation to the sedimentary period of the Guanyinqiao Member, and then decreased gradually from the sedimentary period of the Guanyinqiao Member to the sedimentary period of the organic-rich shales in the Longmaxi Formation, and leads to the different enrichment of organic matter in the vertical direction. The different developments of upwelling led to the coexistence of both high and low TOC contents in the Guanyinqiao Member along the vertical direction.

Socially controlled male‐to‐female sex reversal in the protogynous orange‐spotted grouper, Epinephelus coioides - Jiaxing Chen; Ling Xiao; Cheng Peng; Zhifeng Ye; Dengdong Wang; Yuqing Yang; Haifa Zhang; Mi Zhao; Shuisheng Li; Haoran Lin; Yong Zhang (Journal of Fish Biology, 2019)
Socially controlled sex change in teleosts is a dramatic example of adaptive reproductive plasticity. In many cases, the occurrence of sex change is triggered by a change in the social context, such as the disappearance of the dominant individual. The orange‐spotted grouper Epinephelus coioides is a typical protogynous hermaphrodite fish that changes sex from female to male and remains male throughout its life span. In this study, male‐to‐female sex reversal in male Epinephelus coioides was successfully induced by social isolation. The body length and mass, gonadal change, serum sex steroid hormone levels and sex‐related gene expression patterns during the process of socially controlled male‐to‐female sex reversal in E. coioides were systematically examined. This report investigates the physiological mechanisms of the socially controlled male‐to‐female sex reversal process in a protogynous hermaphrodite grouper species. The results enable us to study the physiological control of sex change, not only from female to male, but also from male to female.

This research identified 169 known microRNAs (miRNAs), 380 novel miRNAs, and 30,538 targets in 11 tissues (blood, brain, derma, gill, heart, intestine, kidney, liver, muscle, pronephros, and spleen) from grass carp Ctenopharyngodon idella with high‐throughput sequencing (HTS). Transcripts per million (TPM) expression analysis detected 41 brain‐enriched miRNAs (accounting for 61.19% of all tissue‐enriched miRNAs). Real‐time quantitative PCR (RT‐qPCR) confirmed that 21 of 24 randomly selected tissue‐enriched miRNAs from the TPM analysis were indeed tissue‐enriched ( P dmrt ) involved in sex differentiation. RT‐qPCR revealed that cid‐miR ‐138 was more highly expressed in testis than in ovary ( P dmrt4a ( P cid‐miR ‐138– dmrt4a in neuroendocrine mechanisms related to brain‐pituitary networks during sex development. The discovery of miRNAs from 11 C. idella tissues expands the available fish mi R NA database, and enhances our understanding of the role of sex‐related miRNAs in tissue differentiation and maintenance of specific tissue functions in fishes.

The relative importance of space compared to topography increases from rare to common tree species across latitude - Yue‐Hua Hu; Daniel J. Johnson; Xiang‐Cheng Mi; Xu‐Gao Wang; Wan‐Hui Ye; Yi‐De Li; Ju‐Yu Lian; Min Cao (Journal of Biogeography, 2018)
Aim Understanding how spatial distributions of rare and common species are associated with environmental and spatial processes is essential to understanding community assembly. We addressed the following questions: (a) does the relative importance of space and topography vary from rare to common tree species? (b) Are the contributions of topography and space equal? (c) Are the variances explained by topography or space correlated with elevational ranges (ER) at the local scale? (d) Does cell‐size influence those postulated associations? Location China and the Americas. Major taxa studied Tree species. Methods We partitioned the variation in species richness and composition of rare and common tree species by topography and space across a range of extents and grain sizes in eight communities. We calculated contribution ratio ( CR ) between space and topography to quantify their relative importance. We employed Kendall's rank correlation to determine the relation between CR and commonness. Mixed effect models were used to identify the influence of cell‐size on the results. Results The majority of CR values were positively related to increasing commonness, especially for composition. The explained variances by space were always higher than that by topography regardless of commonness. At local scale, variances explained by space or topography were not correlated with ER. Main conclusions Our results indicate that the relative importance of space compared to topography increases from rare to common species across forests. We suggest that future studies of community assembly need to account for both space and topography to adequately describe differences in rare and common species assembly mechanisms at range of spatial extents and grain sizes.

Joint structural and physiological control on the interannual variation in productivity in a temperate grassland: A data‐model comparison - Zhongmin Hu; Hao Shi; Kaili Cheng; Ying‐Ping Wang; Shilong Piao; Yue Li; Li Zhang; Jianyang Xia; Lei Zhou; Wenping Yuan; Steve Running; Longhui Li; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2018)
Given the important contributions of semiarid region to global land carbon cycle, accurate modeling of the interannual variability (IAV) of terrestrial gross primary productivity (GPP) is important but remains challenging. By decomposing GPP into leaf area index (LAI) and photosynthesis per leaf area (i.e., GPP_leaf), we investigated the IAV of GPP and the mechanisms responsible in a temperate grassland of northwestern China. We further assessed six ecosystem models for their capabilities in reproducing the observed IAV of GPP in a temperate grassland from 2004 to 2011 in China. We observed that the responses to LAI and GPP_leaf to soil water significantly contributed to IAV of GPP at the grassland ecosystem. Two of six models with prescribed LAI simulated of the observed IAV of GPP quite well, but still underestimated the variance of GPP_leaf, therefore the variance of GPP. In comparison, simulated pattern by the other four models with prognostic LAI differed significantly from the observed IAV of GPP. Only some models with prognostic LAI can capture the observed sharp decline of GPP in drought years. Further analysis indicated that accurately representing the responses of GPP_leaf and leaf stomatal conductance to soil moisture are critical for the models to reproduce the observed IAV of GPP_leaf. Our framework also identified that the contributions of LAI and GPP_leaf to the observed IAV of GPP were relatively independent. We conclude that our framework of decomposing GPP into LAI and GPP_leaf has a significant potential for facilitating future model intercomparison, benchmarking and optimization should be adopted for future data‐model comparisons.

Climatic role of terrestrial ecosystem under elevated CO 2 : a bottom‐up greenhouse gases budget - Shuwei Liu; Cheng Ji; Cong Wang; Jie Chen; Yaguo Jin; Ziheng Zou; Shuqing Li; Shuli Niu; Jianwen Zou (Ecology Letters, 2018)
The net balance of greenhouse gas ( GHG ) exchanges between terrestrial ecosystems and the atmosphere under elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide ( CO 2 ) remains poorly understood. Here, we synthesise 1655 measurements from 169 published studies to assess GHG s budget of terrestrial ecosystems under elevated CO 2 . We show that elevated CO 2 significantly stimulates plant C pool ( NPP ) by 20%, soil CO 2 fluxes by 24%, and methane ( CH 4 ) fluxes by 34% from rice paddies and by 12% from natural wetlands, while it slightly decreases CH 4 uptake of upland soils by 3.8%. Elevated CO 2 causes insignificant increases in soil nitrous oxide (N 2 O) fluxes (4.6%), soil organic C (4.3%) and N (3.6%) pools. The elevated CO 2 ‐induced increase in GHG emissions may decline with CO 2 enrichment levels. An elevated CO 2 ‐induced rise in soil CH 4 and N 2 O emissions (2.76 Pg CO 2 ‐equivalent year −1 ) could negate soil C enrichment (2.42 Pg CO 2 year −1 ) or reduce mitigation potential of terrestrial net ecosystem production by as much as 69% ( NEP , 3.99 Pg CO 2 year −1 ) under elevated CO 2 . Our analysis highlights that the capacity of terrestrial ecosystems to act as a sink to slow climate warming under elevated CO 2 might have been largely offset by its induced increases in soil GHG s source strength.

Microbial pathways for nitrogen loss in an upland soil - Guibing Zhu; Shanyun Wang; Yixiao Li; Linjie Zhuang; Siyan Zhao; Cheng Wang; Marcel M. M. Kuypers; Mike S. M. Jetten; Yongguan Zhu (Environmental Microbiology, 2018)
Summary The distribution and importance of anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) and nitrite‐dependent anaerobic methane oxidation (n‐damo) have been identified in aquatic ecosystems; their role in agricultural upland soils however has not yet been well investigated. In this study, we examined spatio‐temporal distributions of anammox and n‐damo bacteria in soil profiles (300 cm depth) from an agricultural upland. Monitoring nitrogen (N) conversion activity using isotope‐tracing techniques over the course of one year showed denitrification (99.0% N‐loss in the winter and 85.0% N‐loss in the summer) predominated over anammox (1.0% N‐loss in the winter and 14.4% N‐loss in the summer) and n‐damo (0.6% N‐loss in the winter) in surface soils (0–20 cm). While below 20 cm depth, N‐loss was dominated by anammox (79.4 ± 14.3% in the winter and 65.4 ± 12.5% in the summer) and n‐damo was not detected. Phylogenetic analysis showed that Candidatus Brocadia anammoxidans dominated the anammox community in the surface soil and Candidatus Brocadia fulgida dominated below 20 cm depth. Dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA), another nitrite reduction process, was found to play a limited role (4.9 ± 3.5%) in the surface soil compared with denitrification; below 80 cm DNRA rates were much higher than rates of anammox and denitrification. Ammonium oxidation was the main source of above 80 cm (70.9 ± 23.3%), the key influencing factor on anammox rates, and nitrate reduction (100%) was the main source below 80 cm. Considering the anammox, n‐damo and denitrification rates as a whole in the sampled soil profile, denitrification is still the main N‐loss process in upland soils.
