The noble scallop, Chlamys nobilis , is an important bivalve mollusk with high commercial value and is usually farmed in the waters of southern China. To date, very little is known about the genetic diversity and population structure of C. nobilis . In this study, 10 microsatellite loci of four farmed C. nobilis populations were compared with one another and compared wild population in southern China. A total of 83 alleles were found. Surprisingly, the level of genetic diversity of the farmed C. nobilis populations was higher than that of the wild population. Although the population genetic of wild population was completely in the Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium, due to heterozygote deficiency, significant deviations from the Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium were found in all farmed populations, suggesting a genetic admixture caused by the mixing of seeds from various hatcheries. The Fst and AMOVA values showed significant genetic differences between wild and farmed populations. The Bayesian assignment also confirmed that genetic admixture was significant and widespread in artificial breeding of C. nobilis . Furthermore, the UPGMA tree topology and PCA demonstrated that the genetic diversity of wild population can be clearly distinguished from farmed populations. In a nutshell, the findings of this study not only fill the knowledge gaps in genetic diversity of wild and farmed C. nobilis populations, but also serve as a guide for maintaining the genetic diversity of C. nobilis in both farmed and wild populations.

Genetic Recombination of the Mantle Color Pattern of Two Boring Giant Clam (Tridacna crocea) Strains - Junjie Wang; Zihua Zhou; Haitao Ma; Jun Li; Yanping Qin; Jinkuan Wei; Xingyou Li; Qingliang Liao; Yunqing Li; Gongpengyang Shi; Yinyin Zhou; Yuehuan Zhang; et al. (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
According to the RGB law display, the polymorphism of the giant clam mantle color pattern is through four iridocytes. The boring giant clam ( Tridacna crocea ) exhibits diverse mantle colors, including blue, green, purple, gold, and orange. In order to evaluate the genetic laws driving these mantle color patterns, a complete diallel cross between two color strains [blue strain (only blue iridocyte) and the yellow-green strain (yellow and green iridocytes)] was performed. Using a single-to-single mating system, two intra-strain crosses (BB and YY) and two reciprocal inter-strain crosses (BY and YB) were produced in triplicates. Higher fertilization rate and hatching rate were observed in all experimental groups, suggesting that there was no sperm–egg recognition barrier between the two strains. In the grow-out stage, the size of the reciprocal hybrids was larger than that of the two pure strains with a degree of heterosis. In addition, compared with the two pure strains, the hybrids have higher larval metamorphosis rate and higher survival rate. At 1 year of age, the mantle color pattern of pure strains showed 100% stable inheritance, while the reciprocal hybrids exhibited colorful patterns (a combination of blue, yellow, and green), suggesting that there was a genetic recombination of the mantle colors during the stable expression period. These results provide a theoretical basis for the formation of the mantle color of giant clam and its genetic segregation law, as well as provide guidance for genetic breeding of giant clams.

Supercooling capacity and cold tolerance of the South American tomato pinworm, Tuta absoluta, a newly invaded pest in China - Xiao-wei Li; Dong Li; Zhi-jun Zhang; Jun Huang; Jin-ming Zhang; Muhammad Hafeez; Li-kun Wang; Wen-chao Guo; Yao-bin Lu (Journal of Pest Science, 2021)
Tuta absoluta is a devastating invasive pest worldwide, causing severe damage to the global tomato industry. It has been recorded recently in the northwestern border areas of China, posing a significant threat to tomato production. It was presumed that the region's winter-related low temperatures would avert the alien species from successfully overwintering. In this study, the supercooling capacity and low-temperature tolerance of this pest were examined under laboratory conditions and its overwintering potential in Xinjiang was estimated. The results showed that the lowest supercooling point was recorded in the adult stage (− 19.47 °C), while the highest (− 18.11 °C) was recorded in the pupal stage. The supercooling points of pupae and adults were not influenced by gender. The Ltemp 50 and Ltemp 90 of female and male adults were the lowest when exposed to cold for 2 h. However, when the duration of exposure extended from 4 to 10 h, the Ltemp 50 and Ltemp 90 of female and male pupae were the lowest. Comparison of the lowest Ltemp 50 and Ltemp 90 with temperatures in January indicated that T. absoluta might not be able to overwinter in most of the northern and central regions of Xinjiang. However, in the southern regions, the extremely low temperature was higher than the Ltemp 90 , suggesting that T. absoluta has a higher overwintering potential in these regions. These results form a basis for predicting the dispersal potential and possible geographic range of this pest in Xinjiang. In addition, our findings provide guidance for the control of this pest by reducing overwintering shelters.

KCNQ Channels in the Mesolimbic Reward Circuit Regulate Nociception in Chronic Pain in Mice - Hao-Ran Wang; Su-Wan Hu; Song Zhang; Yu Song; Xiao-Yi Wang; Lei Wang; Yang-Yang Li; Yu-Mei Yu; He Liu; Di Liu; Hai-Lei Ding; Jun-Li Cao (Neuroscience Bulletin, 2021)
Mesocorticolimbic dopaminergic (DA) neurons have been implicated in regulating nociception in chronic pain, yet the mechanisms are barely understood. Here, we found that chronic constructive injury (CCI) in mice increased the firing activity and decreased the KCNQ channel-mediated M-currents in ventral tegmental area (VTA) DA neurons projecting to the nucleus accumbens (NAc). Chemogenetic inhibition of the VTA-to-NAc DA neurons alleviated CCI-induced thermal nociception. Opposite changes in the firing activity and M-currents were recorded in VTA DA neurons projecting to the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) but did not affect nociception. In addition, intra-VTA injection of retigabine, a KCNQ opener, while reversing the changes of the VTA-to-NAc DA neurons, alleviated CCI-induced nociception, and this was abolished by injecting exogenous BDNF into the NAc. Taken together, these findings highlight a vital role of KCNQ channel-mediated modulation of mesolimbic DA activity in regulating thermal nociception in the chronic pain state.

TLR8 in the Trigeminal Ganglion Contributes to the Maintenance of Trigeminal Neuropathic Pain in Mice - Lin-Xia Zhao; Ming Jiang; Xue-Qiang Bai; De-Li Cao; Xiao-Bo Wu; Jing Zhang; Jian-Shuang Guo; Tong-Tong Chen; Juan Wang; Hao Wu; Yong-Jing Gao; Zhi-Jun Zhang (Neuroscience Bulletin, 2021)
Trigeminal neuropathic pain (TNP) is a significant health problem but the involved mechanism has not been completely elucidated. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) have recently been demonstrated to be expressed in the dorsal root ganglion and involved in chronic pain. Here, we show that TLR8 was persistently increased in the trigeminal ganglion (TG) neurons in model of TNP induced by partial infraorbital nerve ligation (pIONL). In addition, deletion or knockdown of Tlr8 in the TG attenuated pIONL-induced mechanical allodynia, reduced the activation of ERK and p38-MAPK, and decreased the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the TG. Furthermore, intra-TG injection of the TLR8 agonist VTX-2337 induced pain hypersensitivity. VTX-2337 also increased the intracellular Ca 2+ concentration, induced the activation of ERK and p38, and increased the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the TG. These data indicate that TLR8 contributes to the maintenance of TNP through increasing MAPK-mediated neuroinflammation. Targeting TLR8 signaling may be effective for the treatment of TNP.

Rare taxa maintain the stability of crop mycobiomes and ecosystem functions - Chao Xiong; Ji‐Zheng He; Brajesh K. Singh; Yong‐Guan Zhu; Jun‐Tao Wang; Pei‐Pei Li; Qin‐Bing Zhang; Li‐Li Han; Ju‐Pei Shen; An‐Hui Ge; Chuan‐Fa Wu; Li‐Mei Zhang (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Plants harbour highly diverse mycobiomes which sustain essential functions for host health and productivity. However, ecological processes that govern the plant–mycobiome assembly, interactions and their impact on ecosystem functions remain poorly known. Here we characterized the ecological role and community assembly of both abundant and rare fungal taxa along the soil–plant continuums (rhizosphere, phyllosphere and endosphere) in the maize–wheat/barley rotation system under different fertilization practices at two contrasting sites. Our results indicate that mycobiome assembly is shaped predominantly by compartment niche and host species rather than by environmental factors. Moreover, crop‐associated fungal communities are dominated by few abundant taxa mainly belonging to Sordariomycetes and Dothideomycetes, while the majority of diversity within mycobiomes are represented by rare taxa. For plant compartments, the abundant sub‐community is mainly determined by stochastic processes. In contrast, the rare sub‐community is more sensitive to host selection and mainly governed by deterministic processes. Furthermore, our results demonstrate that rare taxa play an important role in fungal co‐occurrence network and ecosystem functioning like crop yield and soil enzyme activities. These results significantly advance our understanding of crop mycobiome assembly and highlight the key role of rare taxa in sustaining the stability of crop mycobiomes and ecosystem functions.

Review of Huang-huai sheep, a new multiparous mutton sheep breed first identified in China - Kai Quan; Jun Li; Haoyuan Han; Hongfang Wei; Jinyan Zhao; HA Si; Xinji Zhang; Daojiang Zhang (Tropical Animal Health and Production, 2021)
Huang-huai sheep are a new multiparous mutton sheep breed that has been cultivated by domestic scientific research institutes, governments, and sheep farms in China. Huang-huai sheep were bred using Dorper sheep as a sire and Small-tailed Han sheep as a dam. The breeding of Huang-huai sheep started in 2003, and three stages have been carried out: crossbreeding innovation, fixation in a two-way-crossbred closed flock, and herd propagation. A pilot test of Huang-huai sheep was conducted on 6 sheep farms from 2017 to 2018, and hereditary properties and production performance were evaluated in 2019. Huang-huai sheep were identified on site by the National Livestock and Poultry Resources Committee of China in December 2019 and approved as a new multiparous mutton sheep breed in China. The genetic distance showed that Huang-huai sheep are most closely related to Dorper sheep, Luxi black-headed sheep, and Small-tailed Han sheep, but the genetic distances are subspecies (0.02–0.20) each other. The body weights of adult Huang-huai sheep are 98.1 ± 5.2 kg (♂) and 71.7 ± 3.5 kg (♀), and those of 6-month-old Huang-huai sheep are 58.50 ± 6.55 kg (♂) and 52.45 ± 5.67 kg (♀). The slaughter rates of 6-month-old sheep are 56.02 ± 1.25% (♂) and 53.19 ± 1.19% (♀). The estrus cycle of Huang-huai sheep is 19.32 ± 2.8 days, the first estrus cycle occurs at 168 ± 12 days, the annual lambing rate of ewes is 252.82% ± 10.69%, the survival rate of lambs is 95.79 ± 0.95%, and the number of weaned lambs per ewe per year is 2.38 ± 0.14. The growth performance, carcass quality, and reproductive performance of Huang-huai sheep have been improved, resulting in considerable economic and social benefits and broader market prospects. This breed represents a new multiparous mutton sheep breed adapted for industrial sheep farms in China.

Effects of Symbiodiniaceae Phylotypes in Clades A–E on Progeny Performance of Two Giant Clams (Tridacna squamosa and T. crocea) During Early History Life Stages in the South China Sea - Chao Long; Yuehuan Zhang; Yunqing Li; Jun Li; Zihua Zhou; Yanping Qin; Xingyou Li; Haitao Ma; Jinkuan Wei; Yinyin Zhou; Zohaib Noor; Lijuan Long; et al. (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Unlike most bivalves, giant clams (tridacnids) harbor symbiotic microalgae (zooxanthellae) in their other fleshy bodies. The effects of mixed populations of zooxanthellae on larval metamorphosis has been reported in several papers, but there have been very few studies on the effects of single zooxanthella species on the establishment of symbiosis in giant clams. In this study, we obtained five pure zooxanthella species (clades A3, B1, C1, D1, E1) from antler coral by molecular identification, and analyzed their effects on the larval metamorphosis and progeny performance of two giant clams, Tridacna squamosa and T. crocea , in the South China Sea. Clam larvae with all five zooxanthella species underwent larval settlement and metamorphosis, and formed the zooxanthellal tubular system. There was some variation in metamorphic rate and time to metamorphosis between clams with different zooxanthella species, but no significant differences in size at metamorphosis. After metamorphosis, larvae with all zooxanthella types continued to develop normally. Mantle color was consistent within clam species and zooxanthella species had no effect on mantle color. However, clam progeny with clade E1 zooxanthellae were smaller than progeny with the other four zooxanthella clades (A3, B1, C1, and D1). Survival rate was over 90% for all progeny and there were no significant differences in survival between progeny with Symbiodinium clades A–E during the entire culture process. Two-way ANOVA analysis revealed that giant clam species was the main factor influencing progeny growth, with some variation in growth attributable to zooxanthella type. Our results provide new information on both the symbiotic relationship between giant clams and zooxanthellae and the mantle coloration of giant clams, and will be useful in giant clam seed production and aquaculture.

Characterization of NMCR ‐2, a new non‐mobile colistin resistance enzyme: implications for an MCR ‐8 ancestor - Saif Ullah; Kai Ji; Jun Li; Yongchang Xu; Chengjian Jiang; Huimin Zhang; Man Huang; Youjun Feng (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary MCR‐4 and MCR‐8 are two recently identified members of an ongoing MCR family of colistin resistance. Although that aquatic reservoir for MCR‐4 is proposed, the origin and mechanism of MCR‐8 is poorly understood. Here we report a previously unrecognized non‐mobile colistin resistance enzyme, termed NMCR‐2, originating from the plant pathogen Kosakonia pseudosacchari . NMCR‐2 (551aa) gives 67.3% identity to MCR‐8 (565aa). NMCR‐2 is placed as a progenitor/ancestor for MCR‐8 in phylogeny of MCR members. Genetic study reveals that nmcr‐2 is comparable to mcr‐8 in the ability of producing phenotypic colistin resistance. Biochemical analyses determine that these two enzymes catalyse the transfer of PEA from the donor PE lipid substrate to the recipient lipid A molecule by a putative ‘ping‐pong’ trade‐off. Further experiment of protein engineering demonstrates that the two motifs (TM region and catalytic domain) of NMCR‐2 are functionally exchangeable with that of MCR‐8, rather than MCR‐1. Physiological impacts of nmcr‐2 and/or mcr‐8 are detected in Escherichia coli , featuring with fitness cost. Evidently, the action and mechanism of NMCR‐2 is analogous to that of MCR‐8. Therefore, our finding underlines that NMCR‐2 might be a possible progenitor of MCR‐8.

Distinct Effects of Social Stress on Working Memory in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder - Qianqian Li; Jun Yan; Jinmin Liao; Xiao Zhang; Lijun Liu; Xiaoyu Fu; Hao Yang Tan; Dai Zhang; Hao Yan (Neuroscience Bulletin, 2021)
Stress might exaggerate the compulsion and impair the working memory of patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). This study evaluated the effect of stress on the cognitive neural processing of working memory in OCD and its clinical significance using a “number calculation working memory” task. Thirty-eight patients and 55 gender- and education-matched healthy controls were examined. Stress impaired the performance of the manipulation task in patients. Healthy controls showed less engagement of the medial prefrontal cortex and striatum during the task under stress versus less stress, which was absent in the patients with OCD. The diagnosis × stress interaction effect was significant in the right fusiform, supplementary motor area, precentral cortex and caudate. The failure of suppression of the medial prefrontal cortex and striatum and stress-related hyperactivation in the right fusiform, supplementary motor area, precentral cortex, and caudate might be an OCD-related psychopathological and neural response to stress.

Phosphorus addition decreases microbial residual contribution to soil organic carbon pool in a tropical coastal forest - Ye Yuan; Yue Li; Zhijian Mou; Luhui Kuang; Wenjia Wu; Jing Zhang; Faming Wang; Dafeng Hui; Josep Peñuelas; Jordi Sardans; Hans Lambers; Jun Wang; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2021)
The soil nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) availability often constrains soil carbon (C) pool, and elevated N deposition could further intensify soil P limitation, which may affect soil C cycling in these N‐rich and P‐poor ecosystems. Soil microbial residues may not only affect soil organic carbon (SOC) pool but also impact SOC stability through soil aggregation. However, how soil nutrient availability and aggregate fractions affect microbial residues and the microbial residue contribution to SOC is still not well understood. We took advantage of a 10‐year field fertilization experiment to investigate the effects of nutrient additions, soil aggregate fractions, and their interactions on the concentrations of soil microbial residues and their contribution to SOC accumulation in a tropical coastal forest. We found that continuous P addition greatly decreased the concentrations of microbial residues and their contribution to SOC, whereas N addition had no significant effect. The P‐stimulated decreases in microbial residues and their contribution to SOC were presumably due to enhanced recycling of microbial residues via increased activity of residue‐decomposing enzymes. The interactive effects between soil aggregate fraction and nutrient addition were not significant, suggesting a weak role of physical protection by soil aggregates in mediating microbial responses to altered soil nutrient availability. Our data suggest that the mechanisms driving microbial residue responses to increased N and P availability might be different, and the P‐induced decrease in the contribution of microbial residues might be unfavorable for the stability of SOC in N‐rich and P‐poor tropical forests. Such information is critical for understanding the role of tropical forests in the global carbon cycle.

Microplastics and their potential effects on the aquaculture systems: a critical review - Aiguo Zhou; Yue Zhang; Shaolin Xie; Yuliang Chen; Xiang Li; Jun Wang; Jixing Zou (Reviews in Aquaculture, 2021)
According to the statistics, 8.3 billion metric tonnes of plastics have been produced since 1950s, which is far more than other synthetic materials and the annual production which are about 500 million tonnes per year at present. The production of plastics makes microplastics pollution extremely widespread distribution, which will have a lasting impact on the global environment, especially on the aquaculture systems. And the distribution of the microplastics is extremely imbalanced around the global waters. In the present review, we have summarized the development of aquaculture in the World and China based on the existing data sources. And the total aquaculture production of the World will over 90 million tonnes, which will exceed the capture production in 2020. Aquaculture products will become one of the most important sources of high‐quality protein. However, we found that many kinds of microplastics are detected and enriched in both farmed and captured species. Both endogenous and exogenous factors like the use of fishing plastic products, factory farming facility and equipment, natural and synthetic feed, animal health products, aquaculture fortifier and aquatic food additives make accumulation of microplastics easier. In addition, the safety of aquaculture products is closely related to human health because the residues of microplastics in fish leading to various potential hazards. In summary, this paper reviewed the relationship between microplastics and aquaculture, aimed at calling for the rational and restricted use of plastic products in the aquaculture ecosystems.

Spinal CCL2 Promotes Pain Sensitization by Rapid Enhancement of NMDA-Induced Currents Through the ERK-GluN2B Pathway in Mouse Lamina II Neurons - Hui Zhang; Sui-Bin Ma; Yong-Jing Gao; Jun-Ling Xing; Hang Xian; Zhen-Zhen Li; Shu-Ning Shen; Sheng-Xi Wu; Ceng Luo; Rou-Gang Xie (Neuroscience Bulletin, 2020)
Previous studies have shown that CCL2 (C–C motif chemokine ligand 2) induces chronic pain, but the exact mechanisms are still unknown. Here, we established models to explore the potential mechanisms. Behavioral experiments revealed that an antagonist of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) inhibited not only CCL2-induced inflammatory pain, but also pain responses induced by complete Freund’s adjuvant. We posed the question of the intracellular signaling cascade involved. Subsequent experiments showed that CCL2 up-regulated the expression of phosphorylated ERK (pERK) and N-methyl D-aspartate receptor [NMDAR] subtype 2B (GluN2B); meanwhile, antagonists of CCR2 and ERK effectively reversed these phenomena. Whole-cell patch-clamp recordings revealed that CCL2 enhanced the NMDAR-induced currents via activating the pERK pathway, which was blocked by antagonists of GluN2B and ERK. In summary, we demonstrate that CCL2 directly interacts with CCR2 to enhance NMDAR-induced currents, eventually leading to inflammatory pain mainly through the CCL2–CCR2–pERK–GluN2B pathway.

Reduced ROS ‐mediated antibiotic resistance and its reverting by glucose in Vibrio alginolyticus - Song Zhang; Man‐Jun Yang; Bo Peng; Xuan‐xian Peng; Hui Li (Environmental Microbiology, 2020)
Summary Antibiotic‐resistant Vibrio alginolyticus poses a big challenge to human health and food safety. It is urgently needed to understand the mechanisms underlying antibiotic resistance to develop effective approaches for the control. Here we explored the metabolic difference between gentamicin‐resistant V . alginolyticus (VA‐R GEN ) and gentamicin‐sensitive V . alginolyticus (VA‐S), and found that the reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation was altered. Compared with VA‐S, the ROS content in VA‐R GEN was reduced due to the decreased generation and increased breakdown of ROS. The decreased production of ROS was attributed to the decreased central carbon metabolism, which is associated with the resistance to gentamicin. As such a mechanism, we exogenously administrated VA‐R GEN with the glucose that activated the central carbon metabolism and promoted the generation of ROS, but decreased the breakdown of ROS in VA‐R GEN . The gentamicin‐mediated killing was increased with the elevation of the ROS level by a synergistic effect between gentamicin and exogenous glucose. The synergistic effect was inhibited by thiourea, a scavenger of ROS. These results reveal a reduced ROS‐mediated antibiotic resistance mechanism and its reversal by exogenous glucose.

Comparative transcriptomic analysis of fireflies (Coleoptera: Lampyridae) to explore the molecular adaptations to fresh water - Qi‐Lin Zhang; Hong‐Wei Li; Zhi‐Xiang Dong; Xiao‐Jie Yang; Lian‐Bing Lin; Jun‐Yuan Chen; Ming‐Long Yuan (Molecular Ecology, 2020)
Aquatic insects are well adapted to freshwater environments, but the molecular basis of these adaptations remains largely unknown. Most firefly species (Coleoptera: Lampyridae) are terrestrial, but the larvae of several species are aquatic. Here, larval and adult transcriptomes from Aquatica leii (freshwater) and Lychnuris praetexta (terrestrial) were generated to test whether the genes associated with metabolic efficiency and morphology have undergone adaptive evolution to fresh water. The aquatic fireflies had a significantly lower ratio of nonsynonymous to synonymous substitutions than the terrestrial insects, indicating a genomewide evolutionary constraint in the aquatic fireflies. We identified 341 fast‐evolving genes and 116 positively selected genes in the aquatic fireflies. Of these, 76 genes exhibiting both fast evolution and positive selection were primarily involved in ATP production, energy metabolism and the hypoxia response. We identified 7,271 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in A . leii (adults versus larvae) and 8,309 DEGs in L . praetexta (adults versus larvae). DEGs specific to the aquatic firefly ( n = 1,445) were screened via interspecific comparisons ( A . leii versus L . praetexta ) and were significantly enriched for genes involved in metabolic efficiency (e.g., ATP production, hypoxia, and immune responses) and certain aspects of morphology (e.g., cuticle chitin, tracheal and compound eye morphology). These results indicate that sequence and expression‐level changes in genes associated with both metabolic efficiency and morphological attributes related to the freshwater lifestyle contributed to freshwater adaptation in fireflies. This study provides new insights into the molecular mechanisms of aquatic adaptation in insects.

Spatiotemporal distributions of cloud radiative forcing and response to cloud parameters over the Mongolian Plateau during 2003–2017 - Shanhu Bao; Husi Letu; Jun Zhao; Yonghui Lei; Chuanfeng Zhao; Jiming Li; Gegen Tana; Chao Liu; Enliang Guo; Jie Zhang; Jie He; Yuhai Bao (International Journal of Climatology, 2020)
The Mongolian Plateau (MP) is among the most sensitive areas to global climate change, and the clouds over the MP have a greater impact on regional and global radiation budgets by altering the atmospheric and surface radiative forcing. In this study, daily Cloud and Earth Radiation Energy System data are used to investigate spatiotemporal variation of cloud radiative forcing (CRF) at the top of atmosphere (TOA), surface and atmosphere over the MP from 2003 to 2017 and then combined with Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer level 2 atmospheric data during the same period to analyse the cloud parameter impacts on CRF over the MP. At the TOA and surface, net radiative forcing (NRF) and shortwave radiative forcing (SRF) have cooling effects and longwave radiative forcing (LRF) have heating effects in all four seasons, and the NRF cooling effect in most areas of the MP decreases in summer and autumn and increases in spring and winter. In the atmosphere, SRF in spring and summer and NRF in summer reach larger values and heat the atmosphere, and LRF plays a strong cooling role in winter. The NRF change trend in the atmosphere over Mongolia is noteworthy in spring, its reduction slope is large, and most areas of Mongolia passed a significance test. As expected, a significant negative correlation was observed between cloud cover and NRF (as well as SRF) at the TOA and surface and a positive correlation was observed with NRF/SRF in the atmosphere and all LRF. With the increase in cloud optical thickness and cloud water path, the NRF and SRF cooling effects at the TOA and surface, the LRF cooling effect in the atmosphere, the LRF heating effect at the surface, and the SRF heating effect in the atmosphere all become stronger.
