Effects of climate and land‐cover change on the conservation status of gibbons - Li Yang; Tao Chen; Kai‐Chong Shi; Lu Zhang; Ngwe Lwin; Peng‐Fei Fan (Conservation Biology, 2023)
Species shift their distribution in response to climate and land‐cover change, which may result in a spatial mismatch between currently protected areas (PAs) and priority conservation areas (PCAs). We examined the effects of climate and land‐cover change on potential range of gibbons and sought to identify PCAs that would conserve them effectively. We collected global gibbon occurrence points and modeled (ecological niche model) their current and potential 2050s ranges under climate‐change and different land‐cover‐change scenarios. We examined change in range and PA coverage between the current and future ranges of each gibbon species. We applied spatial conservation prioritization to identify the top 30% PCAs for each species. We then determined how much of the PCAs are conserved in each country within the global range of gibbons. On average, 31% (SD 22) of each species’ current range was covered in PAs. PA coverage of the current range of 9 species was p = 0.01, SD 0.01), suggesting that gibbons will benefit from effective management of land cover. PA coverage of future range was

Impacts of regional uplift of the Tibetan Plateau on local summer precipitation and downstream moisture budget: A simulation study - Kai Yang; Jinghua Chen; Chunsong Lu; Junjun Li; Tianyu Liu; Liping Deng; Yanwei Li (International Journal of Climatology, 2022)
Using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model, a series of sensitivity experiments were conducted to study the individual and overall effects of the various topographic uplifts of the Tibetan Plateau (TP) on regional climate variability. The presence of the southern slope of the TP facilitates the maintenance and development of the South Asia High (SAH), which produces a positive cyclic response between local precipitation and SAH, so that the northern branch of the South Asian summer monsoon (SASM) maintains the water vapor supply. At the same time, the southern slope of the TP has a positive effect on the mid‐latitude tropospheric anomalous cyclone and anticyclone systems which promotes the downstream advancement of the East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) and is favourable for the transfer of water vapor and convective clouds downstream. The role of the TP platform is mainly due to the lifting of moisture generated by its local heating, which favours the formation of local convective clouds and precipitation while causing nonadiabatic warming of the troposphere. Water vapor transported from the TP could affect precipitation in central‐eastern China (CEC). However, the supply of water vapor in Southern East China (SEC) mainly comes from the southeast coast of China. The Tibetan Plateau sensitive areas (TPSA) have impacts on the water vapor transport path. Removing the TPSA favours an increase in precipitation and convective clouds in SEC. The removal of topographic disturbances favours the convergence and dispersion of water vapor at mid‐latitudes. The mid‐latitude dynamical anomaly may form a standoff with the low‐latitude dynamical system. This leads to inefficient precipitation and convective generation processes, a weakened monsoon advance over land, and a southward shift in the rainfall belt.

Contrasting effects of altered precipitation regimes on soil nitrogen cycling at the global scale - Qiqian Wu; Kai Yue; Yuandan Ma; Petr Heděnec; Yanjiang Cai; Jian Chen; Hui Zhang; Junjiong Shao; Scott X. Chang; Yan Li (Global Change Biology, 2022)
Changes in precipitation regimes can strongly affect soil nitrogen (N) cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. However, whether altered precipitation regimes may differentially affect soil N cycling between arid and humid biomes at the global scale is unclear. We conducted a meta‐analysis using 1036 pairwise observations collected from 194 publications to assess the effects of increased and decreased precipitation on the input (N return from plants), storage (various forms of N in soil), and output (gaseous N emissions) of soil N in arid versus humid biomes at the global scale. We found that (1) increased precipitation significantly increased N input (+12.1%) and output (+34.9%) but decreased N storage (−13.7%), while decreased precipitation significantly decreased N input (−10.7%) and output (−34.8%) but increased N storage (+11.1%); (2) the sensitivity of soil N cycling to increased precipitation was higher in arid regions than in humid regions, while that to decreased precipitation was lower in arid regions than in humid regions; (3) the effect of altered precipitation regimes on soil N cycling was independent of precipitation type (i.e., rainfall vs. snowfall); and (4) the mean annual precipitation regulated soil N cycling in precipitation alteration experiments at the global scale. Overall, our results clearly show that the response of soil N cycling to increased versus decreased precipitation differs between arid and humid regions, indicating the uneven effect of climate change on soil N cycling between these two contrasting climate regions. This implies that ecosystem models need to consider the differential responses of N cycling to altered precipitation regimes in different climatic conditions under future global change scenarios.

Proteome and physiological analyses reveal tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) peroxidase 7 (POD 7) functions in responses to copper stress - Qian Gao; Li Xu; Xiang Li; Wenwu Yang; Qili Mi; Liming Lu; Xin Liu; Kai Wang; Yifei Lu; Zhangyu Chen; Xuemei Li; Liqin Li (Transgenic Research, 2022)
Copper is a micronutrient essential for plant growth and development. However, Cu is also a heavy metal element that has deleterious impacts on plants when excessively accumulated in the environment. To understand the molecular mechanism underlying tobacco in response to Cu stress, iTRAQ based technology was used to identify differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) and important metabolic pathways in tobacco plants treated with excessive CuSO4. The results showed that 180 DEPs were detected between the treatment and control, among which 78 were upregulated and 102 were downregulated. These DEPs can be functionally divided into 65 categories and are closely related to metabolic pathways, carbon metabolism, secondary metabolite biosynthesis, biosynthesis of antibiotics, glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism, and glycolysis/gluconeogenesis. Peroxidase7 was significantly upregulated and was selected and overexpressed in tobacco. Then, positive transgenic lines and wild type plants were exposed to a Cu stress environment. The results showed that Peroxidase7 transgenic tobacco plants exhibited enhanced Cu stress resistance with decreased malondialdehyde and Cu contents, and increased shoot dry weight, root length, secondary root number, SOD, POD and CAT activity. The present study suggests that the ROS scavenging mechanism is essential for tobacco plants in response to Cu stress and that Peroxidase7 functions in tobacco plant resistance to excessive Cu environment.

In-situ radon-in-water detection for high resolution submarine groundwater discharge assessment - Shibin Zhao; Meng Li; William C. Burnett; Kai Cheng; Chunqian Li; Jinjia Guo; Songling Yu; Wen Liu; Tong Yang; Natasha T. Dimova; Guangquan Chen; Zhigang Yu; et al. (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD), including both land-based fresh groundwater that enters the ocean from coastal aquifers as well as recirculated seawater that is continuously recharged and discharged on the seabed, has been considered as an important component of the global water and biogenic element (e.g., nitrogen, phosphorus, silicon and carbon) sources and a significant pathway for material exchange at the land-sea interface of coastal ecosystems. Some researchers reported that SGD associated nutrient additions to coastal waters have caused unwanted ecological issues, including red tides, coastal acidification and hypoxia. Natural radon isotope ( 222 Rn, t 1/2 = 3.8 d ) is an excellent tracer for studying SGD and other oceanographic processes including air-sea gas exchange, sediment-water diffusion, and earthquake prediction. However, the conventional radon measurement methods suffer many technical disadvantages. We consequently developed a convenient submersible radon determination approach (“OUC-Rn”) using a commercial pulsed ionization chamber (PIC) radon sensor and gas extraction membrane module to produce high precision and high resolution observations. We demonstrate the radon degassing efficiency of the membrane contactor is comparable to the shower-head type air-water exchanger but is independent of operating position. The radon measurement efficiency of the PIC is 2-fold higher than the RAD7 detector and is far less influenced by moisture. We successfully deployed the system in 2.5 meters water depth over a 100 hours period in an anthropogenic influenced bay. Based on our high temporal resolution observations, the SGD flux was estimated to be 0-43.0 cm/d (mean: 25.4 ± 14.5 cm/d). The SGD fluxes pattern plotted together with the tidal variations revealed that tidal pumping may be the main force driving seawater recirculation into aquifers and thus affecting nutrient, carbon and other dissolved matters dynamics in coastal regions.

Effect of dietary soybean meal on growth performance, apparent digestibility, intestinal digestive enzyme activity and muscle growth-related gene expression of Litopenaeus vannamei - Kai Peng; Xiaoying Chen; Huijie Lu; Jichen Zhao; Yihong Chen; Chaozheng Li; Huo Li; Wen Huang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Soybean meal is one of the major components of aquatic animal diets, whereas little information is available about the evaluation of soybean meal growth suppression mode of action. A 42-day feeding trial was performed to assess the effects of dietary soybean meal on growth performance, apparent digestibility, intestinal digestive enzyme activity, and muscle growth–related gene expression of Litopenaeus vannamei . A total of 600 shrimp were randomly distributed into 20 tanks with 30 shrimp per tank and four tanks per group. The soybean meal was added to the diets at the rate of 20% (T20), 28% (T28), 35% (T35), 42% (T42), and 50% (T50), respectively. Shrimp were fed with apparent satiation three times daily. Results indicated that the final body weight, weight gain rate, specific growth rate, feed intake, intestinesomatic index, dressed weight percentage, and the apparent digestibility coefficients of dry matter, crude protein, crude lipid, and ash were linearly decreased ( p < 0.05), but feed coefficient was linearly increased ( p < 0.05) as dietary soybean meal increased from 20% to 50%. The intestinal trypsin and amylase activities were decreased ( p < 0.05) as dietary soybean meal increased from 20% to 50%, and reached significance at the level of 35%, 42%, and 50%. Shrimp fed with T20 had higher ( p < 0.05) intestinal lipase activity than those fed with other diets. The mRNA relative expression of growth hormone, myogenic regulatory factor 5, and target of rapamycin was downregulated ( p < 0.05) as dietary soybean meal increased from 20% to 50%. To conclude, dietary soybean meal exceeded 28% significantly inhibited growth performance of L. vannamei , mainly due to the negative impact of soybean meal on digestion and feed utilization and also the inhibition on the muscle growth and related gene expressions.

Gonadal Atresia, Estrogen-Responsive, and Apoptosis-Specific mRNA Expression in Marine Mussels from the East China Coast: A Preliminary Study - Jingmin Zhu; Jiana Li; Emma C. Chapman; Huahong Shi; Corina M. Ciocan; Kai Chen; Xiaodong Shi; JunLiang Zhou; Peiying Sun; Yueyao Zheng; Jeanette M. Rotchell (Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 2022)
This preliminary survey analysed mussel atresia incidences, estrogen-responsive and apoptotic-specific molecular end points, and aqueous and gonadal levels of selected estrogens from the East China coast. Estrogen levels were low (e.g. < LOD-28.36 ng/L, < LOD-3.88 ng/g wet weight of tissue for BPA) relative to worldwide freshwater environments, but high oocyte follicle atresia incidences (up to 26.6%) occurred at selected sites. Expression of estrogen-responsive ER2 was significantly increased in males relative to females at sites with high atresia incidences in females. A second estrogen-responsive gene, V9 , was significantly increased at two sites in April in females relative to males; the opposite was true for the remaining two sites. Apoptosis-specific genes ( Bcl-2 , fas ) showed elevated expression in males relative to females at the site with the highest atresia incidence. These results provide coastal estrogen levels and the utility of several estrogen-specific molecular-level markers for marine mussels.

Channel catfish virus ORF25 and ORF63 genes are essential for viral replication in vitro - Xiaodong Zhang; Kai Hao; Shuxin Li; Lihui Meng; Hongxun Chen; Fucheng Wei; Fei Yu; Jing Xu; Zhe Zhao (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2022)
The channel catfish virus (CCV) is a lethal pathogen to aquatic animals that can provoke severe haemorrhagic disease in juvenile channel catfish. Although the CCV genome has been fully sequenced, the molecular mechanisms of CCV infection and pathogenesis are less well known. Genomic DNA replication is a necessary and key event for the CCV life cycle. In this study, the impacts of the putative helicase and primase encoded by viral ORF25 and ORF63 on CCV genome replication and infection were evaluated in channel catfish ovary (CCO) cells. The results showed that the number of CCV genome copies was decreased significantly in virus‐infected CCO cells after knockdown of ORF25 and ORF63 using RNA interference. In contrast, the overexpression of ORF25 and ORF63 led to slight increase in the number of virus genome copies. Consistent with the above results, the present results also showed that the expressions of CCV true‐late genes which strictly depend on viral DNA replication, were significantly increased or repressed by overexpression or RNA interference targeting viral ORF25 and ORF63 genes in virus‐infected CCO cells. In addition, knockdown of ORF25 and ORF63 remarkably inhibited CCV‐induced cytopathic effects and decreased progeny virus titres in CCO cells. Moreover, transmission electron microscopy observation of CCO cells infected with CCV accompanied by siRNA targeting the viral ORF25 and ORF63 genes showed that the number of virus particles was remarkably reduced. Taken together, these results indicated that ORF25 and ORF63 are essential for regulating CCV genome replication and CCV‐induced infection.

Anaerobic methane oxidation linked to Fe(III) reduction in a Candidatus Methanoperedens ‐ enriched consortium from the cold Zoige wetland at Tibetan Plateau - Lin Chen; Lingyan Li; Shengjie Zhang; Wenting Zhang; Kai Xue; Yanfen Wang; Xiuzhu Dong (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
Summary Anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) is a microbial process degrading ample methane in anoxic environments, and Ca. Methanoperedens mediated nitrate‐ or metal‐reduction linked AOM is believed important in freshwater systems. This work, via 16S rRNA gene diversity survey and 16S rRNA quantification, found abundant Ca. Methanoperedens along with iron in the cold Zoige wetland at Tibetan Plateau. The wetland soil microcosm performed Fe(III) reduction, rather than nitrate‐ nor sulphate‐reduction, coupled methane oxidation (3.87 μmol d −1 ) with 32.33 μmol Fe(II) accumulation per day at 18°C, but not at 30°C. A metagenome‐assembled genome (MAG) recovered from the microcosm exhibits ~74% average nucleotide identity with the reported Ca. Methanoperedens spp. that perform Fe(III) reduction linked AOM, thus a novel species Ca. Methanoperedens psychrophilus was proposed. Ca. M. psychrophilus contains the whole suite of CO 2 reductive methanogenic genes presumably involving in AOM via a reverse direction, and comparative genome analysis revealed its unique gene categories: the multi‐heme clusters (MHCs) cytochromes, the S‐layer proteins highly homologous to those recovered from lower temperature environments and type IV pili, those could confer Ca. M. psychrophilus of cold adaptability. Therefore, this work reports the first methanotroph implementing AOM in an alpine wetland.

Differential effects of altered precipitation regimes on soil carbon cycles in arid versus humid terrestrial ecosystems - Bin Wang; Yali Chen; Yan Li; Hui Zhang; Kai Yue; Xingchang Wang; Yuandan Ma; Jian Chen; Meng Sun; Zhuo Chen; Qiqian Wu (Global Change Biology, 2021)
Changes in precipitation regimes have significant effects on soil carbon (C) cycles; however, these effects may vary in arid versus humid areas. Additionally, the corresponding details of soil C cycles in response to altered precipitation regimes have not been well documented. Here, a meta‐analysis was performed using 845 pairwise observations (control vs. increased or decreased precipitation) from 214 published articles to quantify the responses of the input process of exogenous C, the contents of various forms of C in soil, and the soil‐atmosphere C fluxes relative to increased or decreased precipitation. The results showed that the effects of altered precipitation regimes did not differ between rainfall and snowfall. Increased precipitation significantly enhanced the soil C inputs, pools and outputs by 18.17%, 18.50%, and 21.04%, respectively, while decreased precipitation led to a significant decline in these soil C parameters by 10.18%, 9.96%, and 17.98%, respectively. The effects of increased precipitation on soil C cycles were more significant in arid areas (where mean annual precipitation, MAP

Allometric Growth of Sargassum fusiforme (Ochrophyta, Fucales) Organs in the Maturation Period Based on Biomass Analysis of Samples from Gouqi Island - Xunmeng Li; Kai Wang; Jianqu Chen; Shouyu Zhang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
Sargassum fusiforme is a seaweed species that plays an important role in the diverse communities of the flora and fauna of coastal food webs. Assessments of its biomass and energy allocation in addition to allometric organ growth have important ecological value for understanding the community structure, carbon storage, and resource assessment of seaweed beds during periods in which they thrive. In this study, the morphology of Sargassum fusiforme and the biomass of organs and total organisms in the maturation period were studied, and the allometric relationships for different organs of Sargassum fusiforme were analyzed using the standardized major axis (SMA). In the maturation period of Sargassum fusiforme, branch number, height × stem diameter were the prior independent variables, and the optimum biomass was y = 0.002x1.107 (R2 = 0.923). The biomass allocation ratio of blades was the highest (38.33%), followed by stems (32.90%) and receptacles (28.77%). The growth rates of the various organs were found to differ, and the rate of biomass increase for the blades and stems tended to converge. The rate of receptacle biomass growth of Sargassum fusiforme was the highest in the maturation period, and the rate of organ biomass increase was Wb

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.

Shifting roles of the East China Sea in the phylogeography of red nanmu in East Asia - Kai Jiang; Xin Tong; Yan‐Qian Ding; Zheng‐Wei Wang; Li‐Yuan Miao; Yue‐E Xiao; Wei‐Chang Huang; Yong‐Hong Hu; Xiao‐Yong Chen (Journal of Biogeography, 2021)
Aim The effect of eustasy driven by climatic oscillations on species diversification across the East China Sea (ECS) remains unclear. In this study, Machilus thunbergii (红楠, red nanmu in Chinese) was used as a model species to determine whether the ECS acted as either a “species pump” or “species vacuum” during the Pleistocene. Locations Eastern China, and southern and central Japan. Taxon Lauraceae. Methods Ecological niche modelling was employed to predict the potential distribution of M . thunbergii during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and the last interglacial period. Nuclear microsatellite and chloroplast markers were used to reveal the phylogeographic pattern and infer the population history of 33 M . thunbergii populations. Results The ecological niche models suggested that the ECS provided potentially suitable habitats for M. thunbergii during the LGM. A sharp change in cpDNA haplotypes was found along the eastern China coasts, while microsatellites revealed a clinal pattern for genetic composition from eastern China to central Japan. The divergent lineages formed an admixture on the Zhoushan Archipelago of China and Kyushu Island of Japan. The estimated divergent and admixture times were c . 68 kyr and c . 15 kyr, corresponding to the periods where there were rising sea levels after the MIS4 glaciation and falling sea levels during the LGM, respectively. Main conclusions Machilus thunbergii probably underwent alternating population isolation during interglacial periods and connection during glacial maxima across the ECS, but such periodicity of isolation and connection seems not to have promoted diversification as suggested by the species pump hypothesis. Incipient divergence has been periodically wiped out due to frequent coalescence, rendering the ECS more like a “species vacuum”, particularly for species with relatively long generation lengths.

Background The Northeast Plain of China, which is an important region for the production of high grain quality rice in China. However, the grain quality of the rice produced varies across this region, even for the same cultivar. Objective In order to explore the meteorological factors that have the greatest influence on quality and the transcriptional level differences between different cultivars and different locations at grain filling stage. Methods We grew eight rice cultivars in three locations in Northeast China during two growing seasons (2017 and 2018). We recorded meteorological conditions, including air temperature, air temperature range, and photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) during the grain-filling stage of each cultivar, and analyzed the grain quality of those eight cultivars. Results Across all eight cultivars, meteorological factors had a stronger effect on eating quality than genotype, while genotype had a stronger effect on milling quality. Of the three environmental factors assessed, PAR was significantly correlated with the most grain quality traits. Using RNA-sequencing analysis, we identified 573 environment-specific DEGs (Differentially Expressed Genes), and 119 genotype-specific DEGs; 11 DEGs were responsive to genotype × environment interactions. These DEGs were involved in many key metabolic processes. Conclusion Our results indicated that interactions among environmental factors, especially PAR, affected rice quality in Northeast China. Further analyses of the DEGs identified herein may provide useful information for future breeding programs aiming to develop high grain quality rice varieties suitable for cultivation across Northeast China.

Mid-Level Riverine Outflow Matters: A Case of Microplastic Transport in the Jiulong River, China - Yifan Li; Siguang Liu; Mengyang Liu; Wei Huang; Kai Chen; Yongcheng Ding; Fangzhu Wu; Hongwei Ke; Linghao Lou; Yan Lin; Mingyu Zhang; Fengjiao Liu; et al. (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Riverine outflow is one of the major pathways for microplastic transportation to coastal environments. Research on the output of microplastics in small- or medium-sized rivers will help accurately understand the status of their marine loads. In this study, we used both trawling and pumping methods to collect microplastics of different sizes in the Jiulong River Estuary and Xiamen Bay. We found that the abundance of small microplastics (44 μm–5.0 mm) was at least 20 times higher than the large particles (0.33–5.0 mm). The abundance of the large particles ranges from 4.96 to 16.3 particles/m 3 , and that of the small particles ranged from 82.8 to 918 particles/m 3 . Granule was the dominant shape (>60%), and polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) were the most common components. The riverine flux of small microplastics (44 μm–5 mm, 472 ± 230 t/y) was at a medium level and was eight times greater than that of large particles (0.33–5.0 mm, 61.2 ± 2.6 t/y). The behavior of the large microplastics was relatively conservative, whose abundance had a significant correlation with salinity ( R 2 = 0.927) and was mainly influenced by physical factors. In contrast, results of statistical analysis revealed that more complicated factors influenced the small microplastics.

Heavy Metal Adsorption and Release on Polystyrene Particles at Various Salinities - Beta Susanto Barus; Kai Chen; Minggang Cai; Rongmao Li; Huorong Chen; Cong Li; Jun Wang; Sha-Yen Cheng (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Microplastics (MPs) and heavy metals are two major types of pollutants that interact with each other, but they are poorly understood. Polystyrene (PS) is one type of MPs that is often detected in aquatic environments. In this study, we examined the adsorption capacity and release rate of heavy metals with respect to different particle sizes of PS, heavy metals, initial heavy metal concentrations, and salinities. Virgin (new) PS with diameters of 20, 50, 130, and 250 μm was used in this study, and four heavy metals (lead, cadmium, copper, and zinc) were used. The results showed that larger PS particle sizes adsorbed more heavy metals even though it took longer to achieve equilibrium adsorption. An increase in heavy metal concentration caused the adsorption capacity (μg g –1 ) of PS particles to also increase, but the adsorption rate (%) decreased. Increased salinity of the heavy metal solution resulted in a slower adsorption time and a lower adsorption capacity and release rate from the surface of PS particles. Different heavy metals also had different adsorption capacities. Pb was consistently more highly adsorbed by MPs, followed by Cu, Zn, and Cd. Larger PS sizes released heavy metals faster than smaller PS sizes, and the amounts of heavy metals released were higher. The heavy metal with the highest release rate was Cd, followed by Pb, Cu, and Zn. Finally, our findings highlight the interactions between PS and heavy metals and strongly support that PS particles can act as vectors for heavy metals in aquatic systems.

The Use of Living Mussels as a Substratum for Growing Seedlings of Two Sargassum Species from the Perspective of Coastal Seaweed Bed Restoration in the East China Sea - Xunmeng Li; Kai Wang; Meiping Feng; Jianqu Chen; Shouyu Zhang; Yuanxin Bi (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
Sargassum vachellianum and Sargassum horneri are the main dominant species and primary producers of seaweed beds in Chinese coastal ecosystems that play an important role in marine blue carbon sinks. However, due to the influence of frequent human activities and global climate change, the seaweed beds formed by Sargassum vachellianum and Sargassum horneri in Chinese coastal waters are gradually declining. In this study, Sargassum zygotes were cultured onto the surface of mussels and then used to repair the declining seaweed bed resources through seaweed transplantation, which was indirectly achieved based on the fast attachment of mussel byssus. The results show that zygotes of Sargassum vachellianum and Sargassum horneri could grow on the surface of mussels and, over time, the force and rate of mussel adhesion gradually increased. The adhesion of Mytilus coruscus was greater than that of Septifer virgatus mussels. After four hours, the rate of adhesion for Mytilus coruscus with a shell length of 30 mm was 100%, and the adhesion force was the highest, at 0.511 ± 0.099 N. Hence, Mytilus coruscus showed better adhesion than Septifer virgatus. After 41 days, the mean length of Sargassum horneri germlings on the surface of Mytilus coruscus grew to 5.554 ± 0.724 mm, the daily growth rate was about 0.154 mm/d, and the mean density declined by 50.59%. After 31 days, the mean length of Sargassum vachellianum germlings increased to 5.510 ± 0.763 mm, the daily growth rate was about 0.191 mm/d, and the mean density declined by 21.21%. After 2 months of development of the mussel–seaweed combinations in coastal waters, the survival rate of Sargassum horneri was 7.6 ± 0.9% and that of Sargassum vachellianum was 25.9 ± 10.5%. Hence, compared with Sargassum horneri, Sargassum vachellianum attached to Mytilus coruscus showed better development, and this system can be used to combat the decline in seaweed bed resources. In this method, mussels were used as an intermediate attachment medium to indirectly achieve the settlement of zygotes for seaweed transplantation, and, therefore, their use as a substratum serves as the basis for a novel technique for seaweed beds restoration.

Data‐driven estimates of global litter production imply slower vegetation carbon turnover - Yue He; Xuhui Wang; Kai Wang; Shuchang Tang; Hao Xu; Anping Chen; Philippe Ciais; Xiangyi Li; Josep Peñuelas; Shilong Piao (Global Change Biology, 2021)
Accurate quantification of vegetation carbon turnover time (τ veg ) is critical for reducing uncertainties in terrestrial vegetation response to future climate change. However, in the absence of global information of litter production, τ veg could only be estimated based on net primary productivity under the steady‐state assumption. Here, we applied a machine‐learning approach to derive a global dataset of litter production by linking 2401 field observations and global environmental drivers. Results suggested that the observation‐based estimate of global natural ecosystem litter production was 44.3 ± 0.4 Pg C year −1 . By contrast, land‐surface models (LSMs) overestimated the global litter production by about 27%. With this new global litter production dataset, we estimated global τ veg (mean value 10.3 ± 1.4 years) and its spatial distribution. Compared to our observation‐based τ veg , modelled τ veg tended to underestimate τ veg at high latitudes. Our empirically derived gridded datasets of litter production and τ veg will help constrain global vegetation models and improve the prediction of global carbon cycle.

Numerical Simulation of a Polar Ship Moving in Level Ice Based on a One-Way Coupling Method - Bao-Yu Ni; Zi-Wang Chen; Kai Zhong; Xin-Ang Li; Yan-Zhuo Xue (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020)
In most previous ice–ship interaction studies involving fluid effects, ice was taken as unbreakable. Building breakable level ice on water domain is still a big challenge in numerical simulation. This paper overcomes this difficulty and presents a numerical modeling of a ship moving in level ice on the water by using a one-way CFD-DEM (computational fluid dynamics-discrete element method) coupling method. The detailed numerical processes and techniques are introduced. The ice crack propagation process including radial and circular cracks have been observed. Numerical results are compared with previous experimental data and good agreement has been achieved. The results show that water resistance is an order of magnitude smaller than ice resistance during the ice-breaking process. Ice resistance shows strong oscillation along with ice failure process, which are affected by ship speed and ice thickness significantly.

Daily minimum temperature and precipitation control on spring phenology in arid‐mountain ecosystems in China - Jun Du; Kai Li; Zhibin He; Longfei Chen; Pengfei Lin; Xi Zhu (International Journal of Climatology, 2020)
Climate anomaly has caused substantial shifts in phenology of mountain ecosystems, but the underlying mechanism of phenological responses to climate change is still not well understood. In essence, the abundance of vegetation communities increases the complexity of phenology‐climate relationships, leading to a certain limitation in predictions of future dynamics among different vegetation types using a unified model. In this study, we focused on the climatic constraints on spring phenology in arid mountains (AMs) of China, and emphasis was laid on accurate representation of mechanisms that control phenology across different vegetation types. We Firstly explored spatio‐temporal variations in satellite‐derived estimates of starting date of vegetation growing season (SOS) over the period 2000–2015 using moderate‐resolution imaging spectro‐radiometer (MODIS) normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI). Phenological models in response to climate variability were then established by using mixed‐effect models based on satellite observations and an extensive dataset of climatic measurements. Our results showed that the climatic regulation on SOS varied greatly over vegetation types. More climatic factors that regulate phenological development were found in grassland than forest and shrubland. At ecosystem level, two critical climate factors, daily minimum temperature ( T min ) and precipitation, explained 74–95% of total variability in predicted SOS. The observed sensitivity to T min is expected to be closely linked with the risk of frost damage, while preseason precipitation determines water availability in spring. The varying ecosystem sensitivity revealed the different resilience and adaptability to changing climate among vegetation types, which have been linked to their eco‐physiological characteristics (e.g., water use efficiency) and environmental conditions (e.g., elevation). Overall, our results indicate a strong dependence of spring phenology on T min and precipitation, and create an opportunity for a more realistic representation of vegetation phenology and growth of AM plants in China in land surface models.

Understanding the genomic basis of adaptation in maize is important for gene discovery and the improvement of breeding germplasm, but much remains a mystery in spite of significant population genetics and archaeological research. Identifying the signals underpinning adaptation are challenging as adaptation often coincided with genetic drift, and the base genomic diversity of the species in massive. In this study, tGBS technology was used to genotype 1,143 diverse maize accessions including landraces collected from 20 countries and elite breeding lines of tropical lowland, highland, subtropical/midaltitude and temperate ecological zones. Based on 355,442 high‐quality single nucleotide polymorphisms, 13 genomic regions were detected as being under selection using the bottom‐up searching strategy, EigenGWAS. Of the 13 selection regions, 10 were first reported, two were associated with environmental parameters via EnvGWAS, and 146 genes were enriched. Combining large‐scale genomic and ecological data in this diverse maize panel, our study supports a polygenic adaptation model of maize and offers a framework to enhance our understanding of both the mechanistic basis and the evolutionary consequences of maize domestication and adaptation. The regions identified here are promising candidates for further, targeted exploration to identify beneficial alleles and haplotypes for deployment in maize breeding.

Comparison of a Manual and an Automated Tracking Method for Tibetan Plateau Vortices - Julia Curio; Yongren Chen; Reinhard Schiemann; Andrew G. Turner; Kai Chi Wong; Kevin Hodges; Yueqing Li (Advances in Atmospheric Sciences, 2018)
Tibetan Plateau vortices (TPVs) are mesoscale cyclones originating over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) during the extended summer season (April–September). Most TPVs stay on the TP, but a small number can move off the TP to the east. TPVs are known to be one of the main precipitation-bearing systems on the TP and moving-off TPVs have been associated with heavy precipitation and flooding downstream of the TP (e.g., in Sichuan province or over the Yangtze River Valley). Identifying and tracking TPVs is difficult because of their comparatively small horizontal extent (400–800 km) and the limited availability of soundings over the TP, which in turn constitutes a challenge for short-term predictions of TPV-related impacts and for the climatological study of TPVs. In this study k](i) manual tracking (MT) results using radiosonde data from a network over and downstream of the TP are compared with (ii) results obtained by an automated tracking (AT) algorithm applied to ERA-Interim data. Ten MT-TPV cases are selected based on method (i) and matched to and compared with the corresponding AT-TPVs identified with method (ii). Conversely k]ten AT-TPVs are selected and compared with the corresponding MT-TPVs. In general k]the comparison shows good results in cases where the underlying data are in good agreement k]but considerable differences are also seen in some cases and explained in terms of differences in the tracking methods k]data availability/coverage and disagreement between sounding and ERA-Interim data. Recommendations are given for future efforts in TPV detection and tracking k]including in an operational weather forecasting context.
