Developing Culturally Effective Strategies for Chinese to English Geotourism Translation by Corpus-Based Interdisciplinary Translation Analysis - Qiang Li; Ruixue Wu; Young Ng (Geoheritage, 2022)
As a new field of translation with its own special genre, geotourism has not yet been firmly established because geotourism translations are currently not of a sufficient professional standard. This situation does not provide geotourists with the genre’s full target of enjoyment, learning and engagement through science popularisation tourism activities. In order to better meet these three definitive purposes in geotourism, this study analyses the three basic categories of geotourism—geological features (GFs), geological processes (GPs) and cultural elements (CEs)—to determine effective strategies of geotourism translation from Chinese into English. Challenges in translation include scientific jargon, language style and cultural gaps. In this article, the advantages of Hu’s Eco-translatology theory are explained and used for minimising translation problems; and the corpus linguistics method, superior for quantitative and qualitative analysis, is utilised. As well, digital auxiliary tools Tmxmall (2014) and Sketch Engine (2003) were employed to facilitate corpus research. Through analysis, effective strategies in each of the key geotourism categories, GFs, GPs and CEs, were identified, shaped and recommended for future translators’ attention. In the results, literal translation, transliteration and free translation, addition and use of official UNESCO names were recommended to render GFs. Division and shift translation, literal translation and shift and division were recommended for GPs. Literal translation, transliteration and free translation and addition were recommended for CEs. Since this is an initial investigation in the genre of geotourism, this study has attempted to build a model platform for future study and wider research in geotourism translation and translation pedagogy for the improvement of geotourism translation quality.

GNSS observable-specific phase biases for all-frequency PPP ambiguity resolution - Jianghui Geng; Qiang Wen; Qiyuan Zhang; Guangcai Li; Kunlun Zhang (Journal of Geodesy, 2022)
An unwritten rule to resolve GNSS ambiguities in precise point positioning (PPP-AR) is that users should follow faithfully the frequency choices and observable combinations mandated by satellite clock and phase bias providers. Switching to other frequencies of measurements requires that the satellite clocks be converted, albeit in a roundabout way, to agree with the new frequencies of code biases. Satellite phase biases, on the other hand, are prescribed conventionally as wide-lane and narrow-lane combinations, which prevents users from resolving other phase combinations in the case of multi-frequency observables. We therefore develop an approach to compute observable-specific phase biases (phase OSBs) in concert with the legacy, but ambiguity-fixed, satellite clocks to enable PPP-AR over any frequency choices and observable combinations at the user end, i.e. , all-frequency PPP-AR. In particular, the phase OSBs on the baseline frequencies ( e.g. , L1/L2 for GPS and E1/E5a for Galileo) are estimated by decoupling the code OSBs pre-aligned with the satellite clocks; then satellite clocks are re-estimated by holding pre-resolved undifferenced ambiguities and phase OSBs on the baseline frequencies; finally, all third-frequency phase OSBs are determined by introducing the ambiguity-fixed satellite clocks above. We used a global network of multi-frequency GPS/Galileo data over a month to verify this approach. In dual-frequency PPP-AR using GPS L1/L2, L1/L5, Galileo E1/E5a, E1/E5b, E1/E5 and E1/E6 signals, over 95% of wide-lane and narrow-lane ambiguity residuals were within ±0.25 and ±0.15 cycles, respectively, after the code and phase OSB corrections on raw GNSS measurements. As a result, the ambiguity fixing rates reached around 95% in all PPP-AR tests, though it was only the satellite clocks aligned with the GPS L1/L2 and Galileo E1/E5a pseudorange that were applied throughout. We stress that the key to computing such phase OSBs for all-frequency PPP-AR is that the code OSBs have the same bias datum as that of the satellite clocks.

Metoprolol Protects Against Arginine Vasopressin-Induced Cellular Senescence in H9C2 Cardiomyocytes by Regulating the Sirt1/p53/p21 Axis - Qiang Li; Kang Huang; Tianyi Ma; Shijuan Lu; Shilin Tang; Miao Wu; Hui Yang; Jianghua Zhong (Cardiovascular Toxicology, 2022)
Cardiomyocyte senescence is involved in the pathological mechanism of cardiac diseases. Metoprolol is a β1 receptor blocker used for the treatment of hypertension. Recent studies show that Metoprolol can protect cardiomyocytes against ischemia injury. The present study aims to investigate the protective effects of Metoprolol against arginine vasopressin (AVP)-induced cellular senescence in cultured cardiomyocytes. The cell proliferation assay and cytotoxicity lactate dehydrogenase assay showed that the highest tolerated dosage of Metoprolol in H9C2 cardiomyocytes was optimized as 10 µM. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay showed that Metoprolol significantly ameliorated the elevated level of the DNA oxidation product 8-hydroxy-2 deoxyguanosine. Metoprolol also decreased the percentage of senescence-associated β-galactosidase positive cells and improved the telomerase activity under AVP exposure. Moreover, treatment with Metoprolol ameliorated the decreased intracellular nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase activity, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide/nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAD + /NADPH) ratio, and Sirtuin1 activity in cardiomyocytes by AVP. Finally, Metoprolol was able to downregulate the AVP-induced expression of acetylated p53 and p21. Taken together, our data reveal that Metoprolol protected the cardiomyocytes from AVP-induced senescence.

Pore-Scale Investigation of the Electrical Property and Saturation Exponent of Archie’s Law in Hydrate-Bearing Sediments - Jinhuan Zhao; Changling Liu; Chengfeng Li; Yongchao Zhang; Qingtao Bu; Nengyou Wu; Yang Liu; Qiang Chen (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Characterizing the electrical property of hydrate-bearing sediments is essential for hydrate reservoir identification and saturation evaluation. As the major contributor to electrical conductivity, pore water is a key factor in characterizing the electrical properties of hydrate-bearing sediments. The objective of this study is to clarify the effect of hydrates on pore water and the relationship between pore water characteristics and the saturation exponent of Archie’s law in hydrate-bearing sediments. A combination of X-ray computed tomography and resistivity measurement technology is used to derive the three-dimensional spatial structure and resistivity of hydrate-bearing sediments simultaneously, which is helpful to characterize pore water and investigate the saturation exponent of Archie’s law at the micro-scale. The results show that the resistivity of hydrate-bearing sediments is controlled by changes in pore water distribution and connectivity caused by hydrate formation. With the increase of hydrate saturation, pore water connectivity decreases, but the average coordination number and tortuosity increase due to much smaller and more tortuous throats of pore water divided by hydrate particles. It is also found that the saturation exponent of Archie’s law is controlled by the distribution and connectivity of pore water. As the parameters of connected pore water (e.g., porosity, water saturation) decrease, the saturation exponent decreases. At a low hydrate-saturation stage, the saturation exponent of Archie’s law changes obviously due to the complicated pore structure of hydrate-bearing sediments. A new logarithmic relationship between the saturation exponent of Archie’s law and the tortuosity of pore water is proposed which helps to calculate field hydrate saturation using resistivity logging data.

Quaternary climate oscillations and geographical heterogeneity play important roles in determining species and genetic diversity distribution patterns, but how these factors affect the migration and differentiation of East Asian plants species at the population level remains poorly understood. The Aquilegia ecalcarata complex, a group that originated in the Late Tertiary and is widely distributed throughout East Asia, displays high genetic variation that is suitable for studying elaborate phylogeographic patterns and demographic history related to the impact of Quaternary climate and geography. We used plastid genome data from 322 individuals in 60 populations of the A . ecalcarata complex to thoroughly explore the impact of Quaternary climate oscillations and geography on the phylogeographic patterns and demographic history of the A . ecalcarata complex through a series of phylogenetic, divergence time estimation, and demographic history analyses. The dry, cold climate and frequent climate oscillations that occurred during the early Pleistocene and the Mid‐Pleistocene transition led to the differentiation of the A . ecalcarata complex, which was isolated in various areas. Geographically, the A . ecalcarata complex can be divided into Eastern and Western Clades and five subclades, which conform to the divergence of the East Asian flora. Our results clearly show the impact of Quaternary climate and geography on evolutionary history at the population level. These findings promote the understanding of the relationship between plant genetic differentiation and climate and geographical factors of East Asia at the population level.

The Risk for Novel and Disappearing Environmental Conditions in the Baltic Sea - Thorsten Blenckner; Yosr Ammar; Bärbel Müller-Karulis; Susa Niiranen; Lars Arneborg; Qiang Li (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Future climate biogeochemical projections indicate large changes in the ocean with environmental conditions not experienced at present referred to as novel, or may even disappear. These climate-induced changes will most likely affect species distribution via changes in growth, behavior, evolution, dispersal, and species interactions. However, the future risk of novel and disappearing environmental conditions in the ocean is poorly understood, in particular for compound effects of climate and nutrient management changes. We map the compound risk of the occurrence of future novel and disappearing environmental conditions, analyze the outcome of climate and nutrient management scenarios for the world’s largest estuary, the Baltic Sea, and the potential consequences for three charismatic species. Overall, the future projections show, as expected, an increase in environmental novelty over time. The future nutrient reduction management that improves the eutrophication status of the Baltic Sea contributes to large novel and disappearing conditions. We show the consequences of novel and disappearing environmental conditions for fundamental niches of three charismatic species under different scenarios. This first step toward comprehensively analyzing environmental novelty and disappearing conditions for a marine system illustrates the urgent need to include novelty and disappearing projection outputs in Earth System Models. Our results further illustrate that adaptive management is needed to account for the emergence of novelty related to the interplay of multiple drivers. Overall, our analysis provides strong support for the expectation of novel ecological communities in marine systems, which may affect ecosystem services, and needs to be accounted for in sustainable future management plans of our oceans.

Interaction between the cell walls of microalgal host and fungal carbohydrate‐activate enzymes is essential for the pathogenic parasitism process - Juan Lin; Hailong Yan; Liang Zhao; Yanhua Li; Bahareh Nahidian; Mianmian Zhu; Qiang Hu; Danxiang Han (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Fungi can parasitize microalgae, exerting profound impacts on both the aquatic ecosystems and microalgal mass cultures. In this study, the unicellular green alga Haematococcus pluvialis and the blastocladialean fungus Paraphysoderma sedebokerense were used as a model system to address the mechanisms underlying the fungal parasitism on the algal host. High‐throughput metabolic assay indicated that P . sedebokerense can utilize several carbon sources with a preference for mannose, glucose and their oligosaccharides, which was compatible with the profile of the host algal cell walls enriched with glucan and mannan. The results of dual transcriptomics analysis suggested that P . sedebokerense can upregulate a large number of putative carbohydrate‐activate enzymes (CAZymes) encoding genes, including those coding for the endo‐1,4‐β‐glucanase and endo‐1,4‐β‐mannanase during the infection process. The cell walls of H . pluvialis can be decomposed by both P . sedebokerense and commercial CAZymes (e.g. cellulase and endo‐1,4‐β‐mannanase) to produce mannooligomers, while several putative parasitism‐related genes of P . sedebokerense can be in turn upregulated by mannooligomers. In addition, the parasitism can be blocked by interfering the selected CAZymes including glucanase, mannanase and lysozyme with the specific inhibitors, which provided a framework for screening suitable compounds for pathogen mitigation in algal mass culture.

Understanding the variability of the rainfall dipole in West Africa using the EC-Earth last millennium simulation - Qiong Zhang; Ellen Berntell; Qiang Li; Fredrik Charpentier Ljungqvist (Climate Dynamics, 2021)
There is a well-known mode of rainfall variability associating opposite hydrological conditions over the Sahel region and the Gulf of Guinea, forming a dipole pattern. Previous meteorological observations show that the dipole pattern varies at interannual timescales. Using an EC-Earth climate model simulation for last millennium (850–1850 CE), we investigate the rainfall variability in West Africa over longer timescales. The 1000-year-long simulation data show that this rainfall dipole presents at decadal to multidecadal and centennial variability and long-term trend. Using the singular value decomposition (SVD) analysis, we identified that the rainfall dipole present in the first SVD mode with 60% explained variance and associated with the variabilities in tropical Atlantic sea surface temperature (SST). The second SVD mode shows a monopole rainfall variability pattern centred over the Sahel, associated with the extra-tropical Atlantic SST variability. We conclude that the rainfall dipole-like pattern is a natural variability mode originated from the local ocean–atmosphere-land coupling in the tropical Atlantic basin. The warm SST anomalies in the equatorial Atlantic Ocean favour an anomalous low pressure at the tropics. This low pressure weakens the meridional pressure gradient between the Saharan Heat Low and the tropical Atlantic. It leads to anomalous northeasterly, reduces the southwesterly moisture flux into the Sahel and confines the Gulf of Guinea's moisture convergence. The influence from extra-tropical climate variability, such as Atlantic multidecadal oscillation, tends to modify the rainfall dipole pattern to a monopole pattern from the Gulf of Guinea to Sahara through influencing the Sahara heat low. External forcing—such as orbital forcing, solar radiation, volcanic and land-use—can amplify/dampen the dipole mode through thermal forcing and atmosphere dynamical feedback.

Application of an improved multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis approach for estimation of the complexity of daily precipitation - Liangliang Zhang; Heng Li; Dong Liu; Qiang Fu; Mo Li; Muhammad Abrar Faiz; Shoaib Ali; Muhammad Imran Khan; Tianxiao Li (International Journal of Climatology, 2021)
Affected by climate change and high‐intensity human activities, the precipitation series is characterized by nonlinear complex fluctuations. In order to accurately quantify the precipitation complexity, the complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise (CEEMDAN) method was introduced to address the shortcomings of the traditional multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis (MFDFA), and the CEEMDAN‐MFFA method was proposed to explore the spatiotemporal variability and possible causes of precipitation complexity in Northeast China (NEC). The results showed that the traditional MFDFA method generally overestimated precipitation complexity. However, the CEEMDAN‐MFFA method improved the accuracy and reliability of precipitation complexity analysis. Daily precipitation series in NEC were characterized by multifractal with high uncertainty and anti‐persistence. The lowest precipitation complexity was 0.573, which appeared in Qian'an, Jilin Province, and the highest precipitation complexity was 1.108, which appeared in the Boketu, Inner Mongolia. The cities with high complexity of daily precipitation are sporadically distributed in the three provinces of Heilongjiang, Jilin and Liaoning. The average complexity is ~0.892, accounting for 22.5% of the total administrative districts. The complexity of daily precipitation showed a statistically insignificant downward trend with time. The precipitation dynamics structure in the southeast and northwest of the study area was complex, and the precipitation was less predictable than other regions. However, the precipitation dynamics structure was relatively simple and the precipitation was easily predictable in the northeastern, central and southwestern regions. Elevation, topographic relief, changes in water area, forest area and agricultural production were the main influencing factors for the differences in precipitation complexity. Results also revealed that increasing the area of forestland by means of protecting and breeding forests, via regulation of the forest ecosystems to alleviate the complex precipitation process will become a reliable approach to cope with nonstationary precipitation.

Natural Infection of Covert Mortality Nodavirus in Small Yellow Croaker in Coastal Water - Tingting Xu; Yingxia Li; Xiujuan Shan; Jingwei Hao; Qiang Wu; Kathy F. J. Tang; Qingli Zhang; Cuiluan Yao (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Covert mortality nodavirus (CMNV) is an alphanodavirus mainly infecting marine shrimp and co-inhabiting organisms in aquaculture ponds. To evaluate the possibility of CMNV prevalence in the wild fish species, epidemiological survey of CMNV infection in Larimichthys polyactis , the dominant species in the Yellow Sea and East China Sea, were conducted in the present study. We performed CMNV RT-LAMP assay in samples of L. polyactis collected in August 2018 and 2019 and found that CMNV prevalence was 18% and 7%, respectively. The nucleotide sequences of both RdRp and capsid protein genes of CMNV from L. polyactis were 99% similar to those of CMNV isolated from shrimp. CMNV-positive L. polyactis exhibited necrosis of cardiac muscle, oocytes loosely arranging, severe cytoplasmic vacuolation of hepatocytes, moderate pyknosis of brain pyramidal cells, degenerate renal tubular cells with ill-defined margins, and declined spleen cells in the histological examination. Moreover, CMNV-positive signals were further observed in pyramidal cells of the brain, the cortical area of the kidney, oocyte growth rings, and in necrotic tissues of cardiac muscle, liver, and spleen in the in situ hybridization assay. The results revealed that CMNV had colonized in the wild populations of L. polyactis and the ecological risk of CMNV spread and epidemic in wild fish in the coastal water was non-negligible.

Ambient fine particulate matter of diameter ≤ 2.5 μm and risk of hemorrhagic stroke: a systemic review and meta-analysis of cohort studies - Kai Zhao; Jing Li; Chaonan Du; Qiang Zhang; Yu Guo; Mingfei Yang (Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2021)
Ambient fine particulate matter of 2.5 μm or less in diameter (PM 2.5 ) of environment contamination is deemed as a risk factor of cerebrovascular diseases. Yet there is still no explicit evidence strongly supporting that PM 2.5 with per unit increment can increase the risk of hemorrhagic stroke (HS). Literatures were searched from PubMed, Cochrane, and Embase. After the systemic review of relevant studies, random effects model was used to perform meta-analysis and to evaluate the association between PM 2.5 and risk of HS. Seven cohort studies were finally included, involving more than 6 million people and 37,667 endpoint events (incidence or mortality of HS). Total scores of quality assessment were 50. Pooled hazard ratio (HR) for crude HRs was 1.13 (95%CI: 1.09–1.17) (CI for confidence interval). Pooled HR of subgroup analysis for current smoking with exposure to growing PM 2.5 was 1.14 (95%CI: 0.92–2.15) and for never and former smoking was 1.04 (95%CI: 0.74–1.46). Ambient PM 2.5 level is significantly associated with the risk of HS, which might be a potential risk factor of HS. Smoking does not further increase the risk of HS under exposure of PM 2.5 .

Mountains act as museums and cradles for hemipteran insects in China: Evidence from patterns of richness and phylogenetic structure - Junjie Li; Qiang Li; Yangxue Wu; Longqin Ye; Huanhuan Liu; Jiufeng Wei; Xiaolei Huang (Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2021)
Aim This study aims to test whether the diversity centres of hemipteran insects are mainly concentrated in mountains and whether spatial variation exists in the relationship between species richness and environmental factors, and investigate the spatio‐temporal divergence patterns of hemipteran insects in China to infer underlying mechanisms and the role of different regions as museums and/or cradles. Location China. Time period Present day. Major taxa studied Hemipteran insects. Methods A comprehensive species distribution dataset consisting of 7,822 hemipteran species was compiled, and a dated molecular phylogeny of hemipteran insects was reconstructed. We analysed the richness and spatio‐temporal divergence patterns of hemipteran insects based on grid cells with a resolution of 1° × 1°. The relative effects of environmental factors on species richness were analysed by general linear models, multivariate spatial autoregressive models and a spatial random forest model. Phylogenetic diversity, phylogenetic structure, and mean divergence times were calculated and evaluated. Results The mountains of central to southern China have the highest hemipteran diversity. Multiple environmental factors together determine the diversity patterns, but relative effects of different factors vary across China's terrain. Central and southern China primarily preserve older lineages and present phylogenetic overdispersion, while northern China shows more recent divergence and phylogenetic clustering. The eastern Himalayas and Hengduan Mountains have high diversity of both ancient and young lineages. Main conclusions The diversity patterns of hemipteran insects in China obviously tend to concentrate in mountains and result from combined effects of multiple environmental factors, but the effects vary in different areas. The mountains of central and southern China act as museums, and the mountains of northern China represent evolutionary cradles for Hemiptera diversity, while the eastern Himalayas and Hengduan Mountains are probably being both cradles and museums. Our results identify areas of high richness and phylogenetic diversity, which provide a foundation for insect conservation in China.

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.

Habitat‐dependent impacts of exotic plant invasions on benthic food webs in a coastal wetland - Sikai Wang; Qiang He; Youzheng Zhang; Qiang Sheng; Bo Li; Jihua Wu (Limnology and Oceanography, 2021)
Exotic plants with wide ecological niches often invade multiple types of habitats, leading to homogenization of ecosystem structure and functions. How exotic plant invasions affect the structure and functions of benthic food webs in different habitats is poorly understood. We tested how Spartina alterniflora invasions affected benthic food webs in four contrasting types of habitat ( Scirpus mariqueter marshes, Phragmites australis marshes, unvegetated tidal creeks, and bare tidal flats) in the Yangtze estuary. We examined distribution pattern of benthic macroinvertebrates, and documented the differences in basal resources of benthic food web by stable isotope analyses of δ 13 C and δ 15 N in different habitats. Our results showed that in unvegetated habitats, conversion of tidal creeks and bare tidal flats to exotic marshes following Spartina invasions significantly altered the functional composition of benthic food webs, which was driven partially by bottom‐up processes related to a consumer dietary shift from benthic organic matter to detritus (trophic effect) and by alteration in species composition related to habitat changes (nontrophic effect). In vegetated native habitats, while the replacement of native plants by Spartina consistently led to a shift in consumer diet from benthic organic matter to detritus, it did not significantly alter the functional composition of benthic food webs. These data suggested the relative importance of trophic and nontrophic effects of plant invasions on benthic food webs could vary with habitat structure (e.g., the presence of native vegetation). Our study provides new insights into the mechanisms underlying homogenization of ecosystem structure and functions by exotic plant invasions.

Relative humidity variation derived from tree‐ring δ 18 O and possible large‐scale atmospheric circulations linkage over the Guanzhong Plain, central northern China, since 1760 CE - Ruoshi Liu; Qiang Li; Yu Liu; Xuxiang Li; Meng Ren; Yongyong Ma; Changfeng Sun; Huiming Song; Qiufang Cai (International Journal of Climatology, 2021)
China is drastically influenced by the Asian monsoon. Based on the relationship ( r = −.636, N = 62, p 18 O values from nine cores of Pinus tabulaeformis Carr. from Nanwutai and the Asia monsoon‐related June–August relative humidity (RH JJA ), we designed a transfer function reconstructing the RH JJA variation from 1760 to 2018 CE. Our RH JJA reconstruction captured some extreme climatic events that occurred in the past, such as the Ding‐Wu disaster (1876–1878 CE), which was the most serious drought event of northern China in the 19th century, and the severe drought event of 1925–1930 CE. The spatial correlation analysis shows that our RH JJA reconstruction has not only local but also large‐scale hydroclimate circulations. Our reconstruction compared well with other hydroclimate series from northern China, indicating the large‐scale representativeness of our reconstruction. Both the ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) and the periodicity analyses revealed that the El Niño–South Oscillation (ENSO), the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO), the Arctic Oscillation (AO) and the solar activity strongly affected Asian monsoon‐related RH JJA changes over Guanzhong Plain in the past. We believe this study is of great significance and provides an in‐depth understanding of climate change in the Guanzhong Plain and in northern China.

Spartina alterniflora invasion controls organic carbon stocks in coastal marsh and mangrove soils across tropics and subtropics - Shaopan Xia; Weiqi Wang; Zhaoliang Song; Yakov Kuzyakov; Laodong Guo; Lukas Van Zwieten; Qiang Li; Iain P. Hartley; Yuanhe Yang; Yidong Wang; Timothy Andrew Quine; Congqiang Liu; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2021)
Coastal wetlands are among the most productive ecosystems and store large amounts of organic carbon (C)—the so termed “blue carbon.” However, wetlands in the tropics and subtropics have been invaded by smooth cordgrass ( Spartina alterniflora ) affecting storage of blue C. To understand how S. alterniflora affects soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks, sources, stability, and their spatial distribution, we sampled soils along a 2500 km coastal transect encompassing tropical to subtropical climate zones. This included 216 samplings within three coastal wetland types: a marsh ( Phragmites australis ) and two mangroves ( Kandelia candel and Avicennia marina ). Using δ 13 C, C:nitrogen (N) ratios, and lignin biomarker composition, we traced changes in the sources, stability, and storage of SOC in response to S. alterniflora invasion. The contribution of S. alterniflora ‐derived C up to 40 cm accounts for 5.6%, 23%, and 12% in the P. australis , K. candel , and A. marina communities, respectively, with a corresponding change in SOC storage of +3.5, −14, and −3.9 t C ha −1 . SOC storage did not follow the trend in aboveground biomass from the native to invasive species, or with vegetation types and invasion duration (7–15 years). SOC storage decreased with increasing mean annual precipitation (1000–1900 mm) and temperature (15.3–23.4℃). Edaphic variables in P. australis marshes remained stable after S. alterniflora invasion, and hence, their effects on SOC content were absent. In mangrove wetlands, however, electrical conductivity, total N and phosphorus, pH, and active silicon were the main factors controlling SOC stocks. Mangrove wetlands were most strongly impacted by S. alterniflora invasion and efforts are needed to focus on restoring native vegetation. By understanding the mechanisms and consequences of invasion by S. alterniflora , changes in blue C sequestration can be predicted to optimize storage can be developed.
