Aim To explore large‐scale patterns and the drivers of carbon:nitrogen:phosphorus (C:N:P) stoichiometry in heterotrophic microbes. Location A 3500‐km grassland transect on the Tibetan Plateau. Methods We investigated large‐scale C:N:P stoichiometry patterns in the soil microbial biomass and their relationships with abiotic factors and soil microbial community structures by obtaining soil samples from 173 sites across the Tibetan alpine grasslands. Results C:N:P ratios in the soil microbial biomass varied widely among grassland types, with higher microbial C:N, C:P and N:P ratios in the alpine steppe than the alpine meadow. The soil microbial C:N:P ratio (81:6:1) in the alpine steppe was significantly wider than the global average (42:6:1). Combined stepwise regression and generalized additive models revealed that variations in the microbial C:N ratio were primarily related to abiotic variables, with the microbial C:N ratio exhibiting a decreasing trend along the precipitation gradient. In contrast, variations in microbial C:P and N:P ratios were primarily associated with shifts in the community structure of soil microbes. The microbial C:P and N:P ratios were both negatively associated with all components of the soil microbial communities. However, the fungi to bacteria ratio only regulated the microbial C:P ratio. Main conclusions These results demonstrate that microbial C:N:P stoichiometry exhibits significant flexibility across various ecosystem types. This flexibility is partly induced by shifts in microbial community structure and variations in environmental conditions.

Aim Soil microorganisms play key roles in regulating many important ecosystem processes. However, our understanding of the patterns and drivers of soil microbial communities remains limited. This study aims to test the hypothesis that edaphic factors are more important in explaining variations in soil microbial communities than climatic and biotic factors, as soils directly provide substrates and environment for soil microbial communities. Location Tibetan alpine grasslands and global terrestrial biomes. Methods On the basis of phospholipid fatty acid ( PLFA ) analysis, we investigated large‐scale patterns and drivers of soil microbial communities using data obtained from 196 sites within two major grassland types (alpine steppe and alpine meadow) on the Tibetan Plateau. We also explored global patterns of soil microbial communities by analysing published data from around the world. Results Soil microbial PLFA s in Tibetan alpine grasslands were positively associated with mean annual temperature and mean annual precipitation ( MAP ), contradicting patterns previously observed across global biomes. A combined stepwise regression and variation partitioning analysis revealed that soil microbial community variations in Tibetan alpine grasslands were mainly explained by edaphic factors, such as soil organic carbon, C : N ratio, pH and soil texture, then by biotic factors, such as aboveground biomass and plant species richness, and further by climatic factors, such as MAP . The global analysis confirmed that edaphic factors accounted for a greater portion of the variation in soil microbial communities than did climatic and biotic variables. Main conclusions These results provide strong support for the hypothesis that edaphic factors are the dominant drivers of spatial variations in soil microbial communities across regional and global scales.

The permafrost organic carbon ( OC ) stock is of global significance because of its large pool size and the potential positive feedback to climate warming. However, due to the lack of systematic field observations and appropriate upscaling methodologies, substantial uncertainties exist in the permafrost OC budget, which limits our understanding of the fate of frozen carbon in a warming world. In particular, the lack of comprehensive estimates of OC stocks across alpine permafrost means that current knowledge on this issue remains incomplete. Here, we evaluated the pool size and spatial variations of permafrost OC stock to 3 m depth on the Tibetan Plateau by combining systematic measurements from a substantial number of pedons ( i.e . 342 three‐metre‐deep cores and 177 50‐cm‐deep pits) with a machine learning technique ( i.e . support vector machine, SVM ). We also quantified uncertainties in permafrost carbon budget by conducting Monte Carlo simulations. Our results revealed that the combination of systematic measurements with the SVM model allowed spatially explicit estimates to be made. The OC density ( OC amount per unit area, OCD ) exhibited a decreasing trend from the south‐eastern to the north‐western plateau, with the exception that OCD in the swamp meadow was substantially higher than that in surrounding regions. Our results also demonstrated that Tibetan permafrost stored a large amount of OC in the top 3 m, with the median OC pool size being 15.31 Pg C (interquartile range: 13.03–17.77 Pg C). 44% of OC occurred in deep layers ( i.e . 100–300 cm), close to the proportion observed across the northern circumpolar permafrost region. The large carbon pool size together with significant permafrost thawing suggests a risk of carbon emissions and positive climate feedback across the Tibetan alpine permafrost region.

Diseases caused by parasitic helminths cause considerable production and economic losses in livestock worldwide. Understanding the epidemiology of these parasites has important implications for controlling them. The main purpose of the present study was to estimate the prevalence of key parasitic helminths in goats along the Han River in Zhanggang, Hubei Province (from January to December 2014). We used faecal flotation and sedimentation techniques as well as PCR-based DNA sequencing to detect and identify helminths. Results showed that the prevalence of helminths was high throughout the year, particularly for gastrointestinal nematodes. These first findings provide useful baseline information for goat helminths in Zhanggang, and a starting point for the implementation of control programs. With an increased expansion of the goat industry in China, the findings also emphasise the need to undertake prevalence surveys in other regions of China where extensive farming practices are used.

Global patterns of soil microbial nitrogen and phosphorus stoichiometry in forest ecosystems - Pin Li; Yuanhe Yang; Wenxuan Han; Jingyun Fang (Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2014)
Aim To investigate broad‐scale patterns of soil microbial nitrogen ( N ) and phosphorus ( P ) stoichiometry and their environmental drivers. Location Global forests. Methods By synthesizing 652 observations of soil microbial biomass N and P derived from the published literature, we investigated global patterns of soil microbial N , P and N : P ratios and their relationships with climate, soil and vegetation types. Results Microbial N and P concentrations varied widely among forest types, with relatively low N and P concentrations but high N : P ratios in tropical forests. The N and P concentrations increased and the N : P ratio decreased with increasing latitude (or decreasing temperature). The N:P ratio showed a similar pattern along the precipitation gradient to that along the temperature gradient, whereas microbial N and P displayed weak trends along the precipitation gradient. Edaphic variables also regulated the patterns of microbial N and P stoichiometry: microbial N and P concentrations increased with soil N and P concentrations as well as with soil pH . Mixed‐effects models revealed that edaphic factors explained the largest part of the variation in microbial N , P and the N : P ratio, suggesting their dominant role. Main conclusions Our findings highlight that there are broad‐scale patterns in microbial N , P and the N : P ratio along the gradients of latitude, temperature and precipitation, which are similar to those reported in plants and soils. The consistency of these patterns in plant–soil–microbe ecosystems supports the hypothesis that P is more often the major limiting element at low latitudes than at high latitudes.

Aim The identification of stoichiometric flexibility is crucial for understanding carbon–nitrogen–phosphorus ( C – N – P ) interactions and ecosystem dynamics under a changing environment. However, current evidence of stoichiometric flexibility mainly comes from manipulation experiments, with little evidence from large‐scale observations. Location Alpine and temperate grasslands across northern C hina. Methods Using soil profiles derived from a historical national soil inventory and a contemporary regional soil survey across C hina's grasslands, we examined temporal changes in topsoil C : N : P ratios over recent decades. Results Topsoil C:N ratios of five major grassland types exhibited some flexibility but did not show significant changes over the sampling interval. Non‐significant changes in topsoil C : N ratios were observed both in alpine grasslands on the T ibetan P lateau and in temperate grasslands on the Inner Mongolian Plateau. Consistent with the relatively stable C : N ratios, the slope of the soil C – N stoichiometric relationship did not differ significantly between the two sampling periods. Soil N:P ratios in the surface layer increased significantly over the sampling interval, however, with an overall increase of 0.60 (95% confidence interval 0.58–0.62). A larger increase in soil N : P ratio was found in temperate grasslands on the I nner M ongolian P lateau than in alpine grasslands on the T ibetan P lateau. Moreover, the slope of the soil N – P stoichiometric relationship in these grassland ecosystems became steeper over the sampling interval. Main conclusions These results demonstrate the stability of topsoil C : N stoichiometry but variability in N : P stoichiometry over broad geographical scales, highlighting that soil C and N are tightly coupled, but N and P tend to be decoupled under a changing environment.

Increased topsoil carbon stock across China's forests - Yuanhe Yang; Pin Li; Jinzhi Ding; Xia Zhao; Wenhong Ma; Chengjun Ji; Jingyun Fang (Global Change Biology, 2014)
Biomass carbon accumulation in forest ecosystems is a widespread phenomenon at both regional and global scales. However, as coupled carbon–climate models predicted, a positive feedback could be triggered if accelerated soil carbon decomposition offsets enhanced vegetation growth under a warming climate. It is thus crucial to reveal whether and how soil carbon stock in forest ecosystems has changed over recent decades. However, large‐scale changes in soil carbon stock across forest ecosystems have not yet been carefully examined at both regional and global scales, which have been widely perceived as a big bottleneck in untangling carbon–climate feedback. Using newly developed database and sophisticated data mining approach, here we evaluated temporal changes in topsoil carbon stock across major forest ecosystem in China and analysed potential drivers in soil carbon dynamics over broad geographical scale. Our results indicated that topsoil carbon stock increased significantly within all of five major forest types during the period of 1980s–2000s, with an overall rate of 20.0 g C m −2 yr −1 (95% confidence interval, 14.1–25.5). The magnitude of soil carbon accumulation across coniferous forests and coniferous/broadleaved mixed forests exhibited meaningful increases with both mean annual temperature and precipitation. Moreover, soil carbon dynamics across these forest ecosystems were positively associated with clay content, with a larger amount of SOC accumulation occurring in fine‐textured soils. In contrast, changes in soil carbon stock across broadleaved forests were insensitive to either climatic or edaphic variables. Overall, these results suggest that soil carbon accumulation does not counteract vegetation carbon sequestration across China's forest ecosystems. The combination of soil carbon accumulation and vegetation carbon sequestration triggers a negative feedback to climate warming, rather than a positive feedback predicted by coupled carbon–climate models.

Summary Phosphorus is an important macronutrient. To understand the molecular and cellular responses to phosphorus stress better, transcriptome profiling in combination with biochemical investigations was conducted in the model diatom P haeodactylum tricornutum . Out of 10 402 predicted genes, 2491 and 405 genes were significantly upregulated or downregulated respectively. Unsurprisingly, genes associated with phosphate uptake were upregulated, such as the phosphate transporters and alkaline phosphatases. Genes encoding stress‐shock proteins were accordingly upregulated, including genes associated with stress‐responsive proteins, signal transduction and secondary metabolism. Additionally, genes related to protein translation, carbon fixation, glycolysis and the citric acid cycle were also upregulated. Genes associated with gene transcription were downregulated, thereby resulting in the upregulation of translation to compensate for the limited supply of messenger RNA . The downregulation of genes related to β ‐oxidation could contribute to the accumulation of fatty acids. Accordingly, triacylglycerols, which are important for energy storage, were determined to increase by 1.65‐fold. Intracellular membranes, other than chloroplast membranes, tended to be dispersed; this finding was in accordance with the increased transcription of a total of 11 genes encoding putative phospholipases. Taken together, this work revealed the coordination of multiple metabolic pathways and certain key genes in the adaptation of P . tricornutum to phosphorus stress.

Long‐term changes in total and extreme precipitation over China and the United States and their links to oceanic–atmospheric features - Fang Wang; Song Yang; Wayne Higgins; Qiaoping Li; Zhiyan Zuo (International Journal of Climatology, 2014)
We investigate the variations of total and extreme precipitations over China and the United States, focusing on long‐term changes. We also explain the features of precipitation by changes in sea surface temperature ( SST ) and atmospheric circulation. Features of total precipitation and the ratio of extreme to total precipitation are different between China and the United States, and differences occur in both annual and seasonal means. Both total precipitation and precipitation ratio show large seasonal and regional variations over China, but change modestly over the United States Annually, China total precipitation changes insignificantly and the ratio shows only a slight positive trend. However, the US annual total precipitation increases significantly, although the ratio decreases moderately. In China, the ratio exhibits positive trends in all seasons and total precipitation shows small positive trends except a negative trend in fall. The US total precipitation increases remarkably in all seasons except winter when a slight decrease occurs, and the ratio decreases in winter and summer but increases in spring and fall. The change in China precipitation ratio has a strong link to SSTs around the Indian Ocean and the South and East China Seas, and the change in US total precipitation is associated with changes in the Indian Ocean and eastern Pacific SSTs . These relationships become weaker when the trend of total precipitation or precipitation ratio is removed, indicating an impact of SST on the long‐term change in precipitation. The trends of US total precipitation and China precipitation ratio are also linked to the long‐term changes inatmospheric circulation including the trade wind, the North Pacific anticyclone, and the circulation patternsover Asia. In most cases, the total and extreme precipitations are associated with similar SST and atmospheric patterns, except in China where the annual extreme precipitation is associated with SST and circulation features as is the precipitation ratio.

Responses of ecosystem carbon cycle to experimental warming: a meta‐analysis - Meng Lu; Xuhui Zhou; Qiang Yang; Hui Li; Yiqi Luo; Changming Fang; Jiakuan Chen; Xin Yang; Bo Li (Ecology, 2013)
Global warming potentially alters the terrestrial carbon (C) cycle, likely feeding back to further climate warming. However, how the ecosystem C cycle responds and feeds back to warming remains unclear. Here we used a meta‐analysis approach to quantify the response ratios of 18 variables of the ecosystem C cycle to experimental warming and evaluated ecosystem C‐cycle feedback to climate warming. Our results showed that warming stimulated gross ecosystem photosynthesis (GEP) by 15.7%, net primary production (NPP) by 4.4%, and plant C pools from above‐ and belowground parts by 6.8% and 7.0%, respectively. Experimental warming accelerated litter mass loss by 6.8%, soil respiration by 9.0%, and dissolved organic C leaching by 12.1%. In addition, the responses of some of those variables to experimental warming differed among the ecosystem types. Our results demonstrated that the stimulation of plant‐derived C influx basically offset the increase in warming‐induced efflux and resulted in insignificant changes in litter and soil C content, indicating that climate warming may not trigger strong positive C‐climate feedback from terrestrial ecosystems. Moreover, the increase in plant C storage together with the slight but not statistically significant decrease of net ecosystem exchange (NEE) across ecosystems suggests that terrestrial ecosystems might be a weak C sink rather than a C source under global climate warming. Our results are also potentially useful for parameterizing and benchmarking land surface models in terms of C cycle responses to climate warming.

Magnetosomes eliminate intracellular reactive oxygen species in Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense MSR‐1 - Fang Fang Guo; Wei Yang; Wei Jiang; Shuang Geng; Tao Peng; Ji Lun Li (Environmental Microbiology, 2012)
Summary Magnetotactic bacteria synthesize magnetic particles called magnetosomes that cause them to orient to their external magnetic fields. However, the physiological significance and other possible functions of these magnetosomes have not been explored in detail. In this study, we have investigated the biological functions of magnetosomes with respect to their ability to scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS) in Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense MSR‐1. To assess the changes in ROS levels under different conditions, cells were cultured under aerobic or micro‐aerobic conditions in medium containing high and low amounts of iron. To ensure that the observed results were not due to nonspecific interactions, reactions were carried out using a mutant deficient in synthesizing magnetite (mamO‐deficient mutant), its complementary strain or the wild‐type MSR‐1. We observed that the levels of intercellular ROS under micro‐aerobic conditions with high‐iron medium were much higher when the non‐synthetic Fe 3 O 4 crystals mutant Mu21‐415 was employed for the assay, compared with the wild‐type or complementary strain, or when conditions were aerobic with low‐iron medium. These results indicated that magnetosomes function in the scavenging of intracellular ROS. Furthermore, we have demonstrated that the magnetosomes exhibit peroxidase‐like properties, by using the earlier reported in vitro horseradish peroxidase assay for artificial magnetic nanoparticles. In addition to possessing peroxidase‐like activity, the magnetosomes also exhibited a more enzymatic kinetic response, suggesting that proteins on the membranes of the magnetosomes likely contribute to the enzymatic activity. This is the first study to demonstrate that magnetosomes play an important role in decreasing or eliminating ROS.
