Phosphorus rather than nitrogen regulates ecosystem carbon dynamics after permafrost thaw - Guibiao Yang; Yunfeng Peng; Benjamin W. Abbott; Christina Biasi; Bin Wei; Dianye Zhang; Jun Wang; Jianchun Yu; Fei Li; Guanqin Wang; Dan Kou; Futing Liu; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2021)
Ecosystem carbon (C) dynamics after permafrost thaw depends on more than just climate change since soil nutrient status may also impact ecosystem C balance. It has been advocated that nitrogen (N) release upon permafrost thaw could promote plant growth and thus offset soil C loss. However, compared with the widely accepted C‐N interactions, little is known about the potential role of soil phosphorus (P) availability. We combined 3‐year field observations along a thaw sequence (constituted by four thaw stages, i.e., non‐collapse and 5, 14, and 22 years since collapse) with an in‐situ fertilization experiment (included N and P additions at the level of 10 g N m −2 year −1 and 10 g P m −2 year −1 ) to evaluate ecosystem C‐nutrient interactions upon permafrost thaw. We found that changes in soil P availability rather than N availability played an important role in regulating gross primary productivity and net ecosystem productivity along the thaw sequence. The fertilization experiment confirmed that P addition had stronger effects on plant growth than N addition in this permafrost ecosystem. These two lines of evidence highlight the crucial role of soil P availability in altering the trajectory of permafrost C cycle under climate warming.

Chronic Exposure to Hypoxia Inhibits Myelinogenesis and Causes Motor Coordination Deficits in Adult Mice - Lin Chen; Shu-Yu Ren; Rui-Xue Li; Kun Liu; Jing-Fei Chen; Yu-Jian Yang; Yong-Bin Deng; Han-Zhi Wang; Lan Xiao; Feng Mei; Fei Wang (Neuroscience Bulletin, 2021)
Exposure to chronic hypoxia is considered to be a risk factor for deficits in brain function in adults, but the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. Since active myelinogenesis persists in the adult central nervous system, here we aimed to investigate the impact of chronic hypoxia on myelination and the related functional consequences in adult mice. Using a transgenic approach to label newly-generated myelin sheaths ( NG2-CreER TM ; Tau-mGFP ), we found that myelinogenesis was highly active in most brain regions, such as the motor cortex and corpus callosum. After exposure to hypoxia (10% oxygen) 12 h per day for 4 weeks, myelinogenesis was largely inhibited in the 4-month old brain and the mice displayed motor coordination deficits revealed by the beam-walking test. To determine the relationship between the inhibited myelination and functional impairment, we induced oligodendroglia-specific deletion of the transcription factor Olig2 by tamoxifen ( NG2-CreER TM ; Tau-mGFP; Olig2 fl/fl ) in adult mice to mimic the decreased myelinogenesis caused by hypoxia. The deletion of Olig2 inhibited myelinogenesis and consequently impaired motor coordination, suggesting that myelinogenesis is required for motor function in adult mice. To understand whether enhancing myelination could protect brain functions against hypoxia, we treated hypoxic mice with the myelination-enhancing drug-clemastine, which resulted in enhanced myelogenesis and improved motor coordination. Taken together, our data indicate that chronic hypoxia inhibits myelinogenesis and causes functional deficits in the brain and that enhancing myelinogenesis protects brain functions against hypoxia-related deficits.

Allelopathic and competitive interactions between native and alien plants - Ling Yuan; Jun-Min Li; Fei-Hai Yu; Ayub M. O. Oduor; Mark van Kleunen (Biological Invasions, 2021)
The novel-weapons and homeland-security hypotheses are based on the idea that aliens and natives are not adapted to each other’s allelochemicals as they did not co-evolve. However, as only a few studies have tested this, it remains unclear how important co-evolutionary history is in determining the strength of allelopathic interactions between aliens and natives. Here, we tested for potential pairwise allelopathic effects on each other of five alien and five native herbaceous species in China. We did a germination experiment and a competition experiment. In the germination experiment, we tested whether aqueous extracts of the ten study species had allelopathic effects on each other’s seed germination. In the competition experiment, we tested whether the alien and native species differed in their competitive effects and responses, and whether these were changed by the presence of activated carbon—a presumed allelopathy neutralizer– in the soil. Plant extracts had negative allelopathic effects on seed germination. This was particularly the case for extracts from the native species. Moreover, aqueous extracts had slightly stronger negative effects on germination of the aliens than on germination of the natives. In the competition experiment, on the other hand, the natives suffered more from competition than the alien species did, but we could not relate this to allelopathy. Alien plants had negative competitive and allelopathic effects on native plants, but the reverse was also true. These alien-native interactions, however, were not consistently stronger or weaker than native-native or alien-alien interactions.

Multiple AT‐rich sequences function as a cis ‐element in the ORF3 promoter in channel catfish virus ( Ictalurid herpesvirus 1) - Fei Yu; Shuxin Li; Hongxun Chen; Kai Hao; Lihui Meng; Jiayue Yang; Zhe Zhao (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2021)
The expression of herpesvirus genes during infection of tissue culture cells can be classified into three main classes: immediate‐early (IE), early and late. The transcriptional regulation of herpesvirus IE genes is a critical regulatory step in the initiation of viral infection, with their regulation differing from that of early and late genes. Herein, we report that an IE gene (ORF3) promoter in channel catfish virus (CCV, Ictalurid herpesvirus 1) can be activated regardless of the presence or absence of CCV infection, indicating that the ORF3 promoter is efficiently driven by host–cell transcription factors in a viral infection‐independent manner. The analysis of truncated promoter activity suggested that several transcription elements play a role in activating the ORF3 promoter, with the key cis ‐elements seemingly located in the flanking sequence of the start codon ATG. We further found that this flanking sequence contained multiple AT‐rich sequences, and systematic mutational analyses showed that these AT‐rich sequences affected normal transcription levels of the ORF3 promoter. To summarize, multiple AT‐rich domains, representing the novel architecture of IE gene promoters in Ictalurid herpesvirus 1, serve as a cis ‐element for ORF3 transcription.

Chronic AdipoRon Treatment Mimics the Effects of Physical Exercise on Restoring Hippocampal Neuroplasticity in Diabetic Mice - Thomas H Lee; Ahadullah; Brian R Christie; Kangguang Lin; Parco Ming-fai Siu; Li Zhang; Ti-fei Yuan; Pragya Komal; Aimin Xu; Kwok-fai So; Suk-yu Yau (Molecular Neurobiology, 2021)
Administration of exercise mimetic drugs could be a novel therapeutic approach to combat comorbid neurodegeneration and metabolic syndromes. Adiponectin is an adipocyte-secreted hormone. In addition to its antidiabetic effect, adiponectin mediates the antidepressant effect of physical exercise associated with adult hippocampal neurogenesis. The antidiabetic effect of the adiponectin receptor agonist AdipoRon has been demonstrated, but its potential pro-cognitive and neurotrophic effects in the hippocampus under diabetic condition are still unclear. This study reported that chronic AdipoRon treatment for 2 weeks improved hippocampal-dependent spatial recognition memory in streptozotocin-induced diabetic mice. Besides, AdipoRon treatment increased progenitor cell proliferation and neuronal differentiation in the hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG) of diabetic mice. Furthermore, AdipoRon treatment significantly increased dendritic complexity, spine density, and N -methyl-D-aspartate receptor-dependent long-term potentiation (LTP) in the dentate region, and increased BDNF levels in the DG of diabetic mice. AdipoRon treatment activated AMPK/PGC-1α signalling in the DG, whereas increases in cell proliferation and LTP were not observed when PGC-1α signalling was pharmacologically inhibited. In sum, chronic AdipoRon treatment partially mimics the benefits of physical exercise for learning and memory and hippocampal neuroplasticity in the diabetic brain. The results suggested that AdipoRon could be a potential physical exercise mimetic to improve hippocampal plasticity and hence rescue learning and memory impairment typically associated with diabetes.

Dicer Deletion in Astrocytes Inhibits Oligodendroglial Differentiation and Myelination - Kun Liu; Bin Yu; Jing-Fei Chen; Rui-Xue Li; Lin Chen; Shu-Yu Ren; Fei Wang; Feng Mei; Lan Xiao (Neuroscience Bulletin, 2021)
Increasing evidence has shown that astrocytes are implicated in regulating oligodendrocyte myelination, but the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. To understand whether microRNAs in astrocytes function in regulating oligodendroglial differentiation and myelination in the developing and adult CNS, we generated inducible astrocyte-specific Dicer conditional knockout mice (hGFAP-CreERT; Dicer fl/fl). By using a reporter mouse line (mT/mG), we confirmed that hGFAP-CreERT drives an efficient and astrocyte-specific recombination in the developing CNS, upon tamoxifen treatment from postnatal day 3 (P3) to P7. The Dicer deletion in astrocytes resulted in inhibited oligodendroglial differentiation and myelination in the developing CNS of Dicer cKO mice at P10 and P14, and did not alter the densities of neurons or axons, indicating that Dicer in astrocytes is required for oligodendrocyte myelination. Consequently, the Dicer deletion in astrocytes at P3 resulted in impaired spatial memory and motor coordination at the age of 9 weeks. To understand whether Dicer in astrocytes is also required for remyelination, we induced Dicer deletion in 3-month-old mice and then injected lysolecithin into the corpus callosum to induce demyelination. The Dicer deletion in astrocytes blocked remyelination in the corpus callosum 14 days after induced demyelination. Together, our results indicate that Dicer in astrocytes is required for oligodendroglia myelination in both the developing and adult CNS.

Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases promote oxidative cleavage of lignin and lignin–carbohydrate complexes during fungal degradation of lignocellulose - Fei Li; Jialong Zhang; Fuying Ma; Qing Chen; Qiuyun Xiao; Xiaoyu Zhang; Shangxian Xie; Hongbo Yu (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Overcoming lignocellulosic biomass recalcitrance, especially the cleavage of cross‐linkages in lignin–carbohydrate complexes (LCCs) and lignin, is essential for both the carbon cycle and industrial biorefinery. Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are copper‐containing enzymes that play a key role in fungal polysaccharide oxidative degradation. Nevertheless, comprehensive analysis showed that LPMOs from a white‐rot fungus, Pleurotus ostreatus , correlated well with the Fenton reaction and were involved in the degradation of recalcitrant nonpolysaccharide fractions in this research. Thus, LPMOs participated in the extracellular Fenton reaction by enhancing iron reduction in quinone redox cycling. A Fenton reaction system consisting of LPMOs, hydroquinone, and ferric iron can efficiently produce hydroxy radicals and then cleave LCCs or lignin linkages. This finding indicates that LPMOs are underestimated auxiliary enzymes in eliminating biomass recalcitrance.

Genetic mapping of highly versatile and solvent‐tolerant Pseudomonas putida B6 ‐2 ( ATCC BAA ‐2545) as a ‘superstar’ for mineralization of PAHs and dioxin‐like compounds - Weiwei Wang; Qinggang Li; Lige Zhang; Jie Cui; Hao Yu; Xiaoyu Wang; Xingyu Ouyang; Fei Tao; Ping Xu; Hongzhi Tang (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and dioxin‐like compounds, including sulfur, nitrogen and oxygen heterocycles, are widespread and toxic environmental pollutants. A wide variety of microorganisms capable of growing with aromatic polycyclic compounds are essential for bioremediation of the contaminated sites and the Earth's carbon cycle. Here, cells of Pseudomonas putida B6‐2 (ATCC BAA‐2545) grown in the presence of biphenyl (BP) are able to simultaneously degrade PAHs and their derivatives, even when they are present as mixtures, and tolerate high concentrations of extremely toxic solvents. Genetic analysis of the 6.37 Mb genome of strain B6‐2 reveals coexistence of gene clusters responsible for central catabolic systems of aromatic compounds and for solvent tolerance. We used functional transcriptomics and proteomics to identify the candidate genes associated with catabolism of BP and a mixture of BP, dibenzofuran, dibenzothiophene and carbazole. Moreover, we observed dynamic changes in transcriptional levels with BP, including in metabolic pathways of aromatic compounds, chemotaxis, efflux pumps and transporters potentially involved in adaptation to PAHs. This study on the highly versatile activities of strain B6‐2 suggests it to be a potentially useful model for bioremediation of polluted sites and for investigation of biochemical, genetic and evolutionary aspects of Pseudomonas .

Cause of an extreme warm and rainy winter in Shanghai in 2019 - Xiao Pan; Wei Wang; Tim Li; Fei Xin; Jinhua Yu (International Journal of Climatology, 2021)
An extreme warm winter (ranked first during the past 30‐years) occurred in Shanghai in 2019, accompanied with an extreme rainy winter (ranked thirdly in the same period). An observational diagnosis shows that the extreme warm and rainy winter arose from southerly anomalies associated with an anticyclone east of Shanghai. The cause of the anticyclone was attributed to V‐shaped upper‐tropospheric Rossby wave activity fluxes, originated from the North Atlantic and tropical Indian Ocean. Numerical model experiments indicate that the anomalous heat source in the tropical Indian Ocean played a dominant role (~65%) in causing the local anomalous circulation, while the heating in North Atlantic also played a role (~35%). A further analysis of the past 30 year data revealed that an extreme warm winter in the past did not coincide with an extreme wet winter. While the warm winter composite shows a large‐scale anticyclone anomaly over Central and East Asia, the rainy winter composite exhibits a circulation dipole pattern with an anomalous cyclone (anticyclone) west (east) of Shanghai. Numerical experiments confirm that the former was forced by the combined effect of precipitation anomalies over the North Atlantic and tropical Indian Ocean (IO) and Maritime Continent (MC) through Rossby wave energy dispersion, whereas the latter was caused by a dipole heating pattern over the tropical IO/MC sector.

Clinical Efficacy of a New Robot-assisted Gait Training System for Acute Stroke Patients - Andy Chien; Fei-Chun Chang; Nai-Hsin Meng; Pei-Yu Yang; Ching Huang; Li-Wei Chou (Journal of Medical and Biological Engineering, 2021)
Purpose Robot-assisted gait rehabilitation has been proposed as a plausible supplementary rehabilitation strategy in stroke rehabilitation in the last decade. However, its exact benefit over traditional rehabilitation remain sparse and unclear. It is therefore the purpose of the current study to comparatively investigate the clinical benefits of the additional robot-assisted training in acute stroke patients compared to standard hospital rehabilitation alone. Methods Ninety acute stroke patients (< 3 month) were recruited. All participants received the standard hospital neurorehabilitation comprises 45–60 min sessions daily for 3 weeks. Sixty patients also received an additional 30 min of robot-assisted gait training with the HIWIN MRG-P100 gait training system after each of the standard neurorehabilitation session. Outcome measures included: 1. Berg Balance Scale (BBS); 2. Brunnstrom Stage; 3. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and 4. Taiwanese Depression Questionnaire (TDQ) which were assessed pre-treatment and then after every five training sessions. Results Both groups demonstrated significant improvement pre- and post-treatment for the BBS (robotic group p = 0.023; control group p = 0.033) but no significant difference (p > 0.1) between the groups were found. However, the robotic training group had more participants demonstrating larger BBS points of improvement as well as greater Brunnstrom stage of improvement, when compared to the control group. No significant within and between group statistical differences (p > 0.3) were found for Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and Taiwanese Depression Questionnaire. Conclusion The addition of robotic gait training on top of standard hospital neurorehabilitation for acute stroke patients appear to produce a slightly greater improvement in clinical functional outcomes, which is not transferred to psychological status.

Microbial and metabolomic analysis of gingival crevicular fluid in general chronic periodontitis patients: lessons for a predictive, preventive, and personalized medical approach - Jun Pei; Fei Li; Youhua Xie; Jing Liu; Tian Yu; Xiping Feng (EPMA Journal, 2020)
Objectives General chronic periodontitis (GCP) is a bacterial inflammatory disease with complex pathology. Despite extensive studies published on the variation in the oral microbiota and metabolic profiles of GCP patients, information is lacking regarding the correlation between host-bacterial interactions and biochemical metabolism. This study aimed to analyze the oral microbiome, the oral metabolome, and the link between them and to identify potential molecules as useful biomarkers for predictive, preventive, and personalized medicine (PPPM) in GCP. Methods In this study, gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) samples were collected from patients with GCP ( n = 30) and healthy controls ( n = 28). The abundance of oral microbiota constituents was obtained by Illumina sequencing, and the relative level of metabolites was measured by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Full-mouth probing depth, clinical attachment loss, and bleeding on probing were recorded as indices of periodontal disease. Results The relative abundances of 7 phyla and 82 genera differed significantly between the GCP and healthy groups. Seventeen differential metabolites involved in different metabolism pathways were selected based on variable influence on projection values (VIP > 1) and P values ( P < 0.05). Through Spearman’s correlation analysis, microorganisms, metabolites in GCF, and clinical data together showed a clear trend, and clinical data regarding periodontitis can be reflected in the shift of the oral microbial community and the change in metabolites in GCF. A combination of citramalic acid and N-carbamylglutamate yielded satisfactory accuracy (AUC = 0.876) for the predictive diagnosis of GCP. Conclusions Dysbiosis in the polymicrobial community structure and changes in metabolism could be mechanisms underlying periodontitis. The differential microorganisms and metabolites in GCF between periodontitis patients and healthy individuals are possibly biomarkers, pointing to a potential strategy for the prediction, diagnosis, prognosis, and management of personalized periodontal therapy.

Extreme rainfall, rainfall erosivity, and hillslope erosion in Australian Alpine region and their future changes - Qinggaozi Zhu; Xihua Yang; Fei Ji; De Li Liu; Qiang Yu (International Journal of Climatology, 2020)
The Australian Alpine region is highly vulnerable to extreme climate events such as heavy rainfall and snow falls, these events subsequently impact rainfall erosivity and hillslope erosion in the region. In this study, the relationship between extreme rainfall indices (ERIs) and rainfall erosivity was examined across the Alpine region in New South Wales (NSW) and Australian Capital Territory (ACT) and the surrounding areas including Murray and Murrumbidgee and South East and Tablelands (SET). Rainfall erosivity, hillslope erosion, and their changes were estimated in the future periods using the revised universal soil loss equation and the NSW/ACT Regional Climate Modeling (NARCliM) projections. Results from the study demonstrate a good relationship between ERIs (especially Rx5Day) and rainfall erosivity. The rainfall erosivity and hillslope erosion are projected to increase about 2 and 8% for the near future (2020–2039), further increase to 8 and 18% for the far future (2060–2079) in the Alpine region assuming the groundcover is maintained at the current condition. The change in rainfall erosivity and erosion risk is highly uneven in space and in season with the highest erosion risk in summer with an increase about 33% in the next 50 years. The highest erosion risk area is predicted within SET (maximum rate 19.95 Mg ha −1 year −1 ), but on average, the ACT has the highest erosion rate, which is above 1.36 Mg ha −1 year −1 in all periods. The snowmelt in spring in the Alpine region is estimated to increase the rainfall erosivity by 13% in the baseline period, up to 24% in the near future, but far less (about 1%) in the far future due to predicted temperature rise and less snow available in the Alpine region in the next 50 years.

Water and heat availability are drivers of the aboveground plant carbon accumulation rate in alpine grasslands on the Tibetan Plateau - Jian Sun; Tian‐Cai Zhou; Miao Liu; You‐Chao Chen; Guo‐Hua Liu; Ming Xu; Pei‐Li Shi; Fei Peng; Atsushi Tsunekawa; Yu Liu; Xiao‐Dan Wang; Shi‐Kui Dong; et al. (Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2020)
Aim Climate change is expected to have important effects on plant phenology and carbon storage, with further shifts predicted in the future. Therefore, we proposed the community carbon accumulation rate (CAR) from the start of the growing season (SOS) to the peak of the growing season (POS) to fill the gap that the dynamic interactions between plant phenology and plant carbon research. Location Tibetan Plateau. Major taxa Alpine grassland plants. Time period 2015. Methods We conducted a transect survey across grasslands to measure community aboveground net primary production and carbon concentration. Additionally, phenology indicator data (SOS and POS) were extracted from the Global Inventory Modeling and Mapping Studies (GIMMS) normalized difference vegetation index version 3 database. Next, we used ‘ changepoint ’ analysis to detect the patterns of CARs, and performed linear regression and one‐way ANOVA to explore the variability of CARs in response to the environmental factors. Ultimately, the total effects of environmental factors on CARs were illustrated by a structural equation model. Results Our results indicated that three CAR patterns were detected, which are low‐CAR (0.15 g/m 2 /day), medium‐CAR (0.31 g/m 2 /day) and high‐CAR (0.84 g/m 2 /day) patterns. We found that the availabilities of water and heat mediated CARs by regulating soil nutrition variability, and that drought climate and insufficient soil resources co‐constrained the community CAR at long time‐scales. In contrast, high CAR could be explained by more water and heat availability via either direct or indirect effects on soil moisture and soil nutrients. Main conclusions Our findings highlight that water and heat availability are critical driving factors in ecological carbon accumulation processes undergoing climate change. Meanwhile, the vegetative phenology also has important effect on carbon accumulation. Consequently, we propose incorporating the dynamic interactions between plant phenology and plant carbon into the ecological carbon cycle model to improve our understanding of resource utilization and survival strategies of plants under environmental change.

Rapid diversification of alpine bamboos associated with the uplift of the Hengduan Mountains - Xia‐Ying Ye; Peng‐Fei Ma; Guo‐Qian Yang; Cen Guo; Yu‐Xiao Zhang; Yun‐Mei Chen; Zhen‐Hua Guo; De‐Zhu Li (Journal of Biogeography, 2019)
Aim The Hengduan Mountains (HDM) of southwest China is a biodiversity hotspot and harbours one of the world's richest temperate floras. However, the origin and evolution of its biota remain largely unresolved. Here we explore the impact of mountain uplift on the diversification process of biodiversity in this hotspot using alpine bamboos. Location The HDM region, southwest China. Taxon Alpine bamboos. Methods We used ddRAD‐seq data from the most complete sampling of alpine bamboos undertaken to date (79% of the species diversity), to investigate their evolutionary history. The ancestral area of these bamboos was reconstructed using a time‐calibrated phylogeny in BioGeoBEARS and diversification rates were inferred using BAMM analyses. In addition, the impact of mountain uplift on the divergence of alpine bamboos was evaluated using trait‐dependent models of diversification. Results The alpine bamboos were strongly supported as monophyletic, and the relationships within them were robustly resolved. Fargesia was found to be polyphyletic and Yushania was resolved as monophyletic. Alpine bamboos originated outside the HDM region during the late Miocene, and spread to this region in the Pliocene, undergoing a significant acceleration in net diversification, which is temporally congruent with the orogeny. The speciation rate increased with altitude and a high diversification rate, estimated to be 0.75 species per million years, was detected for alpine bamboos distributed in high elevations. Main Conclusions Our study demonstrates that heterogeneous mountain habitats and geographical isolation of alpine bamboos, which have limited dispersal ability, are important drivers for their rapid diversification. This study also highlights the power of complementary analyses in revealing the link between species diversification and past geological changes.

Evolutionarily conserved vasa identifies embryonic and gonadal germ cells in spinyhead croaker Collichthys lucidus - Yu Li; Wei Song; Yei Fei Zhu; Tian Yu Zhu; Ling Bo Ma; Ming You Li (Journal of Fish Biology, 2019)
In this study, a 2198 bp full‐length cDNA of spinyhead croaker Collichthys lucidus vasa gene encoding 616 amino‐acid residues was obtained. Multiple alignment revealed that C. lucidus vasa has eight conserved characteristic motifs of the DEAD box protein family and has the highest identity to large yellow croaker Larimichthys croceas . Reverse‐transcription (RT)‐PCR and Western blot analyses indicated that the vasa messenger (m)RNA and Vasa protein are specifically expressed in the gonads in both sexes. In situ hybridisation (ISH) demonstrated that vasa RNA is exclusively detected in the germ cells in C. lucidus gonads and its temporospatial expression reveals a dynamic pattern during oogenesis. Surprisingly, C. lucidus vasa 3’UTR can direct stable and specific GFP expression in the primordial germ cells (PGC) of medaka Oryzias latipes embryos. Taken together, these results suggest that because C. lucidus vasa expression delineates critical stages of oogenesis, it may be a useful molecular marker for the identification of gonadal germ cells, facilitating the isolation and utilization of germ cells in future study.

Luminescence chronology of the Palaeolithic–Neolithic transition in the Yujiagou site at the Nihewan Basin, northern China - Xue Rui; Yu‐Jie Guo; Jia‐Fu Zhang; Yue Hu; Hui‐Jie Mei; You‐Ping Wang; Fei Xie; Bo Li (Journal of Quaternary Science, 2019)
The relationship between the Palaeolithic–Neolithic cultural transition and environmental changes is important for understanding human history. However, the timing and nature of human behaviour at the transition, and their relationship to local environmental conditions, remain poorly understood. The Yujiagou archaeological site in the Nihewan Basin, northern China, provides valuable chronological and archaeological information about cultural changes in northern China due to its continuous archaeological sequence of cultural layers from the Palaeolithic to Neolithic. In this study, we apply post‐infrared infrared stimulated luminescence (pIRIR) dating on individual feldspar grains to date the Yujiagou deposits. We provide a revised chronology for the archaeological sequence at the site. We combine these results with multi‐proxy climatic indicators to gain insights into palaeoenvironmental changes in the region. The results show that the age of the artefact‐bearing deposits ranges from 13.5 to 9.7 ka. Polished stones and pottery begin to occur in the archaeological layer around 13 ka, corresponding to a transitional period when the local climate changed from cold to warm. This site provides evidence for understanding the process that led to the regional transition from hunter‐gathering to farming.

Using multi‐model ensembles of CMIP5 global climate models to reproduce observed monthly rainfall and temperature with machine learning methods in Australia - Bin Wang; Lihong Zheng; De Li Liu; Fei Ji; Anthony Clark; Qiang Yu (International Journal of Climatology, 2018)
Global climate models (GCMs) are useful tools for assessing climate change impacts on temperature and rainfall. Although climate data from various GCMs have been increasingly used in climate change impact studies, GCMs configurations and module characteristics vary from one to another. Therefore, it is crucial to assess different GCMs to confirm the extent to which they can reproduce the observed temperature and rainfall. Rather than assessing the interdependence of each GCM, the purpose of this study is to compare the capacity of four different multi‐model ensemble (MME) methods (random forest [RF], support vector machine [SVM], Bayesian model averaging [BMA] and the arithmetic ensemble mean [EM]) in reproducing observed monthly rainfall and temperature. Of these four methods, the RF and SVM demonstrated a significant improvement over EM and BMA in terms of performance criteria. The relative importance of each GCM based on the RF ensemble in reproducing rainfall and temperature could also be ranked. We compared the GCMs importance and Taylor skill score and found that their correlation was 0.95 for temperature and 0.54 for rainfall. Our results also demonstrated that the number of GCMs ensemble simulations could be reduced from 33 to 25 in RF model while maintaining predictive error less than 2%. Having such a representative subset of simulations could reduce computational costs for climate impact modelling and maintain the quality of ensemble at the same time. We conclude that machine learning MME could be efficient and useful with improved accuracy in reproducing historical climate variables.

Large uncertainties exist in carbon (C)‐climate feedback in permafrost regions, partly due to an insufficient understanding of warming effects on nutrient availabilities and their subsequent impacts on vegetation C sequestration. Although a warming climate may promote a substantial release of soil C to the atmosphere, a warming‐induced increase in soil nutrient availability may enhance plant productivity, thus offsetting C loss from microbial respiration. Here, we present evidence that the positive temperature effect on carbon dioxide ( CO 2 ) fluxes may be weakened by reduced plant nitrogen (N) and phosphorous (P) concentrations in a Tibetan permafrost ecosystem. Although experimental warming initially enhanced ecosystem CO 2 uptake, the increased rate disappeared after the period of peak plant growth during the early growing season, even though soil moisture was not a limiting factor in this swamp meadow ecosystem. We observed that warming did not significantly affect soil extractable N or P during the period of peak growth, but decreased both N and P concentrations in the leaves of dominant plant species, likely caused by accelerated plant senescence in the warmed plots. The attenuated warming effect on CO 2 assimilation during the late growing season was associated with lowered leaf N and P concentrations. These findings suggest that warming‐mediated nutrient changes may not always benefit ecosystem C uptake in permafrost regions, making our ability to predict the C balance in these warming‐sensitive ecosystems more challenging than previously thought.
