Evolution Trend Research of Global Ocean Power Generation Based on a 45-Year Scientometric Analysis - Lisu Chen; Wei Li; Jie Li; Qiang Fu; Tianzhen Wang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
Since 1973, studies have explored ocean power generation from different perspectives. However, in the past 45 years, few studies have attempted to comprehensively review the existing studies on ocean power generation using wave energy, tidal current energy, ocean thermal energy, salinity gradient energy, bio-mass energy, and gas hydrates. In this study, we collected 5262 studies published from 1973 to 2018 for scientometric visualization analysis and drew a knowledge map of the ocean power generation field. The results show that the most important contributions to the research of ocean power generation mainly came from the United States, China, Britain, Italy, Spain, Japan, Norway, Germany, France, and Denmark. Ocean power generation research is mainly divided into two stages. From 1973 to 2007, there were relatively few studies and no obvious hot topics. From 2008 to 2018, the knowledge fields mainly focused on ocean biomass power generation, the exploitation of natural gas hydrates, the utilization of wave energy and tidal energy, the research and optimization of energy generators, the storage and management of ocean energy, and numerical simulations of marine climates. In addition, the joint utilization of wind energy and wave energy is also a current research topic of interest, including joint assessment of the two energy potentials, the research and development of equipment, and numerical simulations of joint power generation projects.

Variance Component Decomposition for Growth Traits of the Bay Scallop (Argopecten irradians irradians) - Hengde Li; Yangfan Wang; Qiang Xing; Qifan Zeng; Liang Zhao; Yaqun Zhang; Xiaoli Hu; Zhenmin Bao (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
The bay scallop ( Argopecten irradians irradians ) is one of the most important shellfish species in China. Since their introduction into China, only mass selection has been used in bay scallop breeding. With its gradual expansion and shortage of mate selection, population homozygosity increased, and fitness decreased. To investigate the effects of inbreeding and provide reference for improving breeding strategies and mating management, the variance components of the growth traits of the bay scallop were decomposed with genomic relationship matrices. The results indicated that the genetic variations in shell height and length were mainly accounted for by the additive effects. The genetic variation in shell width was mainly caused by dominance or dominance-by-dominance epistasis. The genetic variation in body weight was accounted for by dominance. No significant directional dominances were detected for all growth traits. Cross-validation for genomic prediction showed that including insignificant inbreeding in the genomic prediction model is not necessary, and we suggest that the genomic prediction model should be optimized with both likelihood ratio tests and cross-validation before utilization in practice.

Postsynaptic Targeting and Mobility of Membrane Surface-Localized hASIC1a - Xing-Lei Song; Di-Shi Liu; Min Qiang; Qian Li; Ming-Gang Liu; Wei-Guang Li; Xin Qi; Nan-Jie Xu; Guang Yang; Michael Xi Zhu; Tian-Le Xu (Neuroscience Bulletin, 2021)
Acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs), the main H + receptors in the central nervous system, sense extracellular pH fluctuations and mediate cation influx. ASIC1a, the major subunit responsible for acid-activated current, is widely expressed in brain neurons, where it plays pivotal roles in diverse functions including synaptic transmission and plasticity. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms for these functions remain mysterious. Using extracellular epitope tagging and a novel antibody recognizing the hASIC1a ectodomain, we examined the membrane targeting and dynamic trafficking of hASIC1a in cultured cortical neurons. Surface hASIC1a was distributed throughout somata and dendrites, clustered in spine heads, and co-localized with postsynaptic markers. By extracellular pHluorin tagging and fluorescence recovery after photobleaching, we detected movement of hASIC1a in synaptic spine heads. Single-particle tracking along with use of the anti-hASIC1a ectodomain antibody revealed long-distance migration and local movement of surface hASIC1a puncta on dendrites. Importantly, enhancing synaptic activity with brain-derived neurotrophic factor accelerated the trafficking and lateral mobility of hASIC1a. With this newly-developed toolbox, our data demonstrate the synaptic location and high dynamics of functionally-relevant hASIC1a on the surface of excitatory synapses, supporting its involvement in synaptic functions.

BCC-ESM1 Model Datasets for the CMIP6 Aerosol Chemistry Model Intercomparison Project (AerChemMIP) - Jie Zhang; Tongwen Wu; Fang Zhang; Kalli Furtado; Xiaoge Xin; Xueli Shi; Jianglong Li; Min Chu; Li Zhang; Qianxia Liu; Jinghui Yan; Min Wei; et al. (Advances in Atmospheric Sciences, 2021)
BCC-ESM1 is the first version of the Beijing Climate Center’s Earth System Model, and is participating in phase 6 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6). The Aerosol Chemistry Model Intercomparison Project (AerChemMIP) is the only CMIP6-endorsed MIP in which BCC-ESM1 is involved. All AerChemMIP experiments in priority 1 and seven experiments in priorities 2 and 3 have been conducted. The DECK (Diagnostic, Evaluation and Characterization of Klima) and CMIP historical simulations have also been run as the entry card of CMIP6. The AerChemMIP outputs from BCC-ESM1 have been widely used in recent atmospheric chemistry studies. To facilitate the use of the BCC-ESM1 datasets, this study describes the experiment settings and summarizes the model outputs in detail. Preliminary evaluations of BCC-ESM1 are also presented, revealing that: the climate sensitivities of BCC-ESM1 are well within the likely ranges suggested by IPCC AR5; the spatial structures of annual mean surface air temperature and precipitation can be reasonably captured, despite some common precipitation biases as in CMIP5 and CMIP6 models; a spurious cooling bias from the 1960s to 1990s is evident in BCC-ESM1, as in most other ESMs; and the mean states of surface sulfate concentrations can also be reasonably reproduced, as well as their temporal evolution at regional scales. These datasets have been archived on the Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) node for atmospheric chemistry studies.

Highly enriched N‐containing organic molecules of Synechococcus lysates and their rapid transformation by heterotrophic bacteria - Qiang Zheng; Wenxin Lin; Yu Wang; Yunyun Li; Chen He; Yuan Shen; Weidong Guo; Quan Shi; Nianzhi Jiao (Limnology and Oceanography, 2021)
Phytoplankton are major contributors of labile dissolved organic matter to marine euphotic zone ecosystems. Viral‐mediated phytoplankton lysis releases a considerable amount of bioavailable cellular contents and facilitates localized heterotrophic bacterial growth. The rapid turnover times of this labile organic matter renders it difficult to trace their transformation within natural environments. In the present study, we used a model phototroph‐heterotroph coculture system to investigate the organic molecular variation during cyanophage‐induced Synechococcus lysis and post‐lysis periods using fluorescence spectroscopy and ultrahigh resolution mass spectrometry analyses. Approximately 80% of the Synechococcus lysates were respired to carbon dioxide within 2 days coupled to rapid regeneration of inorganic nutrients. Five fluorescent dissolved organic matter components were detected in the incubations including four humic‐like and one protein‐like components, and their abundances varied markedly with the succession of the viral lysis process. Viral lysis promoted the transformation of Synechococcus biomass to dissolved organic matter, and heterotrophic bacterial metabolism facilitated the transformation of organic molecules from relatively high (avg. ~ 430 Da) to low (avg. ~ 360 Da) molecular weight, corresponding to variation in their bioavailability. The Synechococcus ‐derived organic matter was highly enriched in N‐containing organic molecules. Identified metabolites within the cultures primarily comprised amino acids or oligopeptides and other low‐molecular‐weight organic acids, carbohydrates, nucleotides, lipids, biogenic amines, and porphyrins. Among these, oligopeptides, nucleotides, and lipid compounds significantly increased with viral lysis. These results provide insight into biogeochemical cycling mediated by viral shunts in oceans, thus deepening our understanding of microbial food webs at the molecular level.

Maximum July–September temperatures derived from tree‐ring densities on the western Loess Plateau, China - Huiming Song; Ruochen Mei; Yu Liu; Daniel Nievergelt; Anne Verstege; Paolo Cherubini; Ruoshi Liu; Changfeng Sun; Qiang Li; Ling Chen; Xueli Zeng; Junqin Guo (International Journal of Climatology, 2021)
Tree‐ring densitometric studies conducted in semi‐arid regions are exceedingly rare. In this study, we evaluate a new maximum latewood density chronology from a collection of Picea purpurea trees growing in semi‐arid northwestern China for climatic reconstruction purposes. We find statistically significant correlations between annual maximum density variations and July–September maximum temperatures over the 1957–2014 calibration period. Using a linear model to transfer the density variations to temperature estimates, we then reconstruct maximum summer temperatures from 1840 to 2014. Statistical analyses and verification tests demonstrate that the resulting transfer function is both reliable and stable. The reconstructed temperature series shows strong inter‐annual and decadal variability. Several extremely cool and warm years are apparent on an inter‐annual scale, while three extended cool periods and a warm period are observed on a decadal scale. In addition, the reconstructed temperature series exhibits a pattern synchronous with that of the Indian monsoon index, as well as a moderate relationship to volcanic eruptions. This densitometric study reveals typical climatic variation characteristics and provides useful data for deepening our understanding of climate history in the semi‐arid regions of China.

Rapid and highly efficient genomic engineering with a novel iEditing device for programming versatile extracellular electron transfer of electroactive bacteria - Yang‐Yang Fan; Qiang Tang; Yang Li; Feng‐He Li; Jing‐Hang Wu; Wen‐Wei Li; Han‐Qing Yu (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary The advances in synthetic biology bring exciting new opportunities to reprogram microorganisms with novel functionalities for environmental applications. For real‐world applications, a genetic tool that enables genetic engineering in a stably genomic inherited manner is greatly desired. In this work, we design a novel genetic device for rapid and efficient genome engineering based on the i ntron‐encoded homing‐endonuclease empowered genome editing (iEditing). The iEditing device enables rapid and efficient genome engineering in Shewanella oneidensis MR‐1, the representative strain of the electroactive bacteria group. Moreover, combining with the Red or RecET recombination system, the genome‐editing efficiency was greatly improved, up to approximately 100%. Significantly, the iEditing device itself is eliminated simultaneously when genome editing occurs, thereby requiring no follow‐up to remove the encoding system. Then, we develop a new extracellular electron transfer (EET) engineering strategy by programming the parallel EET systems to enhance versatile EET. The engineered strains exhibit sufficiently enhanced electron output and pollutant reduction ability. Furthermore, this device has demonstrated its great potential to be extended for genome editing in other important microbes. This work provides a useful and efficient tool for the rapid generation of synthetic microorganisms for various environmental applications.

Distribution, sources, and decomposition of soil organic matter along a salinity gradient in estuarine wetlands characterized by C:N ratio, δ 13 C‐δ 15 N, and lignin biomarker - Shaopan Xia; Zhaoliang Song; Qiang Li; Laodong Guo; Changxun Yu; Bhupinder Pal Singh; Xiaoli Fu; Chunmei Chen; Yidong Wang; Hailong Wang (Global Change Biology, 2021)
Despite increasing recognition of the critical role of coastal wetlands in mitigating climate change, sea‐level rise, and salinity increase, soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration mechanisms in estuarine wetlands remain poorly understood. Here, we present new results on the source, decomposition, and storage of SOC in estuarine wetlands with four vegetation types, including single Phragmites australis (P, habitat I), a mixture of P. australis and Suaeda salsa (P + S, habitat II), single S. salsa (S, habitat III), and tidal flat (TF, habitat IV) across a salinity gradient. Values of δ 13 C increased with depth in aerobic soil layers (0–40 cm) but slightly decreased in anaerobic soil layers (40–100 cm). The δ 15 N was significantly enriched in soil organic matter at all depths than in the living plant tissues, indicating a preferential decomposition of 14 N‐enriched organic components. Thus, the kinetic isotope fractionation during microbial degradation and the preferential substrate utilization are the dominant mechanisms in regulating isotopic compositions in aerobic and anaerobic conditions, respectively. Stable isotopic (δ 13 C and δ 15 N), elemental (C and N), and lignin composition (inherited (Ad/Al)s and C/V) were not completely consistent in reflecting the differences in SOC decomposition or accumulation among four vegetation types, possibly due to differences in litter inputs, root distributions, substrate quality, water‐table level, salinity, and microbial community composition/activity. Organic C contents and storage decreased from upstream to downstream, likely due to primarily changes in autochthonous sources (e.g., decreased onsite plant biomass input) and allochthonous materials (e.g., decreased fluvially transported upland river inputs, and increased tidally induced marine algae and phytoplankton). Our results revealed that multiple indicators are essential to unravel the degree of SOC decomposition and accumulation, and a combination of C:N ratios, δ 13 C, δ 15 N, and lignin biomarker provides a robust approach to decipher the decomposition and source of sedimentary organic matter along the river‐estuary‐ocean continuum.

Influence of Vertical Loading on Behavior of Laterally Loaded Foundation Piles: A Review - Qiang Li; Luke J. Prendergast; Amin Askarinejad; Ken Gavin (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020)
The majority of installed offshore wind turbines are supported on large-diameter, open-ended steel pile foundations, known as monopiles. These piles are subjected to vertical and lateral loads while in service. In current design practice, interaction of vertical and lateral loads are not considered, rather piles are designed to resist vertical and lateral loads independently. Whilst interaction effects are widely studied for shallow foundations, the limited research on this topic for pile foundations often produces conflicting results. This paper reviews the research of the influence of vertical loading on the lateral response of pile foundations under combined loads, from the perspective of analytical research, numerical research, and experimental research from tests performed on 1-g (gravitational acceleration) model, centrifuge, and full-scale piles. The potential reasons for the differences among the results of previous research are discussed. Some guidance for future research on the effect of vertical loads on the lateral response of piles is provided.

Knowledge of Cervical Cancer, Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) and HPV Vaccination Among Women in Northeast China - Yu-e Ning; Yao Liu; Xiao-yu Xu; Xin-yu Zhang; Ning Wang; Li-qiang Zheng (Journal of Cancer Education, 2020)
This study aimed to research the understanding and knowledge of cervical cancer, human papilloma virus (HPV), and HPV vaccination, and the acceptance of HPV vaccination, among a population of women in northeastern China. A cross-sectional survey was carried out by questionnaire to investigate knowledge of cervical cancer, HPV, and HPV vaccination. The 230 female participants were native residents of northeastern China, and their ages ranged between 18 and 65 years. Questionnaires were randomly acquired by the respondents from online and paper questionnaire distribution. The questionnaire included questions on three major aspects to record people’s perceptions of cervical cancer, HPV, and vaccines. Of the sample of 230 women surveyed, 80.9% had heard of cervical cancer, but understanding was only 15.7%; 38.3% knew about HPV; 20% knew about HPV vaccine; 39.6% agreed to receive HPV vaccination, and the remainder were mainly concerned about its safety and effectiveness. Data analysis showed that age, family income, and whether there was experience of screening all influenced knowledge of cervical cancer, but this was not statistically significant. The level of education had no obvious effect on the degree of knowledge about cervical cancer; however, with an improvement in education, women’s awareness of HPV vaccine improved significantly ( p < 0.05). Women who have received cervical cancer screening had significantly greater knowledge about cervical cancer and HPV than those with no screening ( p < 0.05). Women in northeastern China have little knowledge of cervical cancer, HPV, and HPV vaccine, lack disease knowledge, and hold a skeptical attitude about HPV vaccination. Medical institutions are the main channel providing information to these women.

Upregulation of miRNA-23a-3p rescues high glucose-induced cell apoptosis and proliferation inhibition in cardiomyocytes - Fang Wu; Feng Wang; Qian Yang; Yawen Zhang; Ke Cai; Lian Liu; Shuchun Li; YuanZheng Zheng; Jialing Zhang; Yiting Gui; Youhua Wang; Xu Wang; et al. (In Vitro Cellular & Developmental Biology - Animal, 2020)
Maternal hyperglycemia potentially inhibits the development of the fetal heart by suppressing cardiomyocyte proliferation and promoting apoptosis. Different studies have indicated that miRNAs are key regulators of cardiomyocyte proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis and play a protective role in a variety of cardiovascular diseases. However, the biological function of miRNA-23a in hyperglycemia-related cardiomyocyte injury is not fully understood. The present study investigated the effect of miRNA-23a-3p on cell proliferation and apoptosis in a myocardial injury model induced by high glucose. H9c2 cardiomyocytes were exposed to high glucose to establish an in vitro myocardial injury model and then transfected with miRNA-23a-3p mimics. After miRNA-23a-3p transfection, lens-free microscopy was used to dynamically monitor cell numbers and confluence and calculate the cell cycle duration. CCK-8 and EdU incorporation assays were performed to detect cell proliferation. Flow cytometry was used to measured cell apoptosis. Upregulation of miRNA-23a-3p significantly alleviated high glucose-induced cell apoptosis and cell proliferation inhibition ( p < 0.01 and p < 0.0001, respectively). The cell cycle of the miRNA-23a-3p mimics group was significantly shorter than that of the negative control group ( p < 0.01). The expression of cell cycle–activating and apoptosis inhibition-associated factors Ccna2 , Ccne1 , and Bcl-2 was downregulated by high glucose and upregulated by miRNA-23a-3p overexpression in high glucose-injured H9c2 cells. miRNA-23a-3p mimics transfection before high glucose treatment had a significantly greater benefit than transfection after high glucose treatment ( p < 0.0001), and the rescue effect of miRNA-23a-3p increased as the concentration increased.

Development and current state of seawater shrimp farming, with an emphasis on integrated multi‐trophic pond aquaculture farms, in China – a review - Zhi‐Qiang Chang; Amir Neori; Yu‐Ying He; Ji‐Tao Li; Ling Qiao; Steven Ian Preston; Ping Liu; Jian Li (Reviews in Aquaculture, 2020)
Shrimp farming has been the fastest‐growing sector in seawater aquaculture and has contributed to improving the farmers income and the utilization efficiency of aquaculture resources in China. The shrimp industry has deployed ever‐improved and innovated methods, from extensive farming to semi‐intensive and intensive farming. Various high‐density intensive culture models, such as high‐land, greenhouse and indoor industrialized culture models, have been used for shrimp pond farming in the coastal area. However, efficiency, environmental and social considerations have led to an increasing adoption of the environmentally‐friendly culture model called integrated multi‐trophic aquaculture (IMTA). This has occurred most rapidly along the northern and central coasts of China. The deployed IMTA culture models reviewed here are shrimp + crab, shrimp + fish, shrimp + sea cucumber, shrimp + jellyfish + clam, shrimp + crab + clam, shrimp + crab + clam + fish and the ridgetail white shrimp polyculture in saline alkaline water, which have been tailored to local conditions and organisms' characteristics. Suitable organism varieties and the maintenance of suitable eco‐friendly water quality have been key to success. The eco‐friendly IMTA culture models described here fully exploit the pond culture resources, to increase production with minimal additional feed and labor inputs, while reducing effluent emissions and treatment cost. The performance of shrimp IMTA models is compared to shrimp monoculture models regarding the economics. An equally important outcome of this publication is making generally accessible the findings from a vast Chinese scientific literature on shrimp culture that has hitherto been unavailable in English.

Hepatotoxicity in patients with solid tumors treated with PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors alone, PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors plus chemotherapy, or chemotherapy alone: systematic review and meta-analysis - Xiaodi Guo; Wendong Li; Jiexuan Hu; Emily C. Zhu; Qiang Su (European Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, 2020)
Background This meta-analysis examined the risk of hepatotoxicity in patients with solid tumors who received a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor alone, a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor plus chemotherapy, or chemotherapy alone. Methods Potentially eligible studies were identified by searches of Embase and PubMed. All included studies were randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that examined patients with solid tumors who received a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor and/or chemotherapy. Results We included 20 clinical trials (11,634 patients). Thirteen trials compared PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor monotherapy with chemotherapy. These two groups had similar risk for elevated markers of hepatotoxicity (based on analysis of all marker grades and high marker grades), although the PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor group had an elevated relative risk (RR) of elevated aspartate aminotransferase (AST; RR = 2.13, 95% CI = 1.04 to 4.36, P = 0.04) when considering high grades alone; however, this disparity was not significant for comparisons of the pembrolizumab and nivolumab subgroups with the chemotherapy group. Compared with chemotherapy, PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors increased the risk of all-grade hepatitis (RR = 5.85, 95% CI = 1.85 to 18.46, P < 0.01), and high-grade hepatitis (RR = 5.66, 95% CI = 1.58 to 20.27, P < 0.01). Seven other studies compared PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor plus chemotherapy with chemotherapy alone. The combined treatment led to a higher risk for all-grade hepatitis (RR = 2.14, 95% CI = 1.29 to 3.55, P < 0.01) and high-grade hepatitis (RR = 5.24, 95%CI = 1.89 to 14.52, P < 0.01), but these groups had similar risk for all-grade and high-grade elevated markers of hepatotoxicity. Conclusions Relative to chemotherapy alone, PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors with or without chemotherapy increased the risk of all-grade and high-grade hepatitis, but generally did not increase the risk of elevated blood markers of hepatotoxicity.

Three‐dimensional change in temperature sensitivity of northern vegetation phenology - Mengdi Gao; Xuhui Wang; Fandong Meng; Qiang Liu; Xiangyi Li; Yuan Zhang; Shilong Piao (Global Change Biology, 2020)
Understanding how the temperature sensitivity of phenology changes with three spatial dimensions (altitude, latitude, and longitude) is critical for the prediction of future phenological synchronization. Here we investigate the spatial pattern of temperature sensitivity of spring and autumn phenology with altitude, latitude, and longitude during 1982–2016 across mid‐ and high‐latitude Northern Hemisphere (north of 30°N). We find distinct spatial patterns of temperature sensitivity of spring phenology (hereafter “spring S T ”) among altitudinal, latitudinal, and longitudinal gradient. Spring S T decreased with altitude mostly over eastern Europe, whereas the opposite occurs in eastern North America and the north China plain. Spring S T decreased with latitude mainly in the boreal regions of North America, temperate Eurasia, and the arid/semi‐arid regions of Central Asia. This distribution may be related to the increased temperature variance, decreased precipitation, and radiation with latitude. Compared to spring S T , the spatial pattern of temperature sensitivity of autumn phenology (hereafter “autumn S T ”) is more heterogeneous, only showing a clear spatial pattern of autumn S T along the latitudinal gradient. Our results highlight the three‐dimensional view to understand the phenological response to climate change and provide new metrics for evaluating phenological models. Accordingly, establishing a dense, high‐quality three‐dimensional observation system of phenology data is necessary for enhancing our ability to both predict phenological changes under changing climatic conditions and to facilitate sustainable management of ecosystems.

The changes in ENSO-induced tropical Pacific precipitation variability in the past warm and cold climates from the EC-Earth simulations - Zixuan Han; Qiong Zhang; Qin Wen; Zhengyao Lu; Guolin Feng; Tao Su; Qiang Li; Qiang Zhang (Climate Dynamics, 2020)
The El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is one of the most significant climate variability signals. Studying the changes in ENSO-induced precipitation variability (ENSO precipitation) in the past climate offers a possibility to a better understanding of how they may change under future climate conditions. This study uses simulations performed with the European community Earth-System Model (EC-Earth) to investigate the relative contributions of dynamic effect (the circulation anomalies together with the climatological specific humidity) and thermodynamic effect (the specific humidity anomalies together with the climatological circulation) on the changes in ENSO precipitation in the past warm and cold climates, represented by the Pliocene and the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), respectively. The results show that the changes in ENSO precipitation are intensified (weakened) over the tropical western Pacific but weakened (intensified) over the tropical central Pacific in Pliocene (LGM) compared with the pre-industrial (PI) simulation. Based on the decomposed moisture budget equation, these changes in ENSO precipitation patterns are highly related to the dynamic effect. The mechanism can be understood as follows: the zonal gradient of the mean sea surface temperature (SST) over the tropical Indo-Pacific is increased (reduced) during the Pliocene (LGM), leading to the strengthening (weakening) of Pacific Walker Circulation as well as a westward (eastward) shift. In the Pliocene, the westward shift of Walker Circulation results in an increased (decreased) ENSO-induced low-level vertical velocity variability in the tropical western Pacific (central Pacific), and, in turn, favoring convergent (divergent) moisture transport through a dynamic process, and then causing intensified (weakened) ENSO precipitation there. The opposite mechanism exists in LGM. These results suggest that changes in the zonal SST gradient over tropical Indo-Pacific under different climate conditions determine the changes in ENSO precipitation through a dynamic process.

Source partitioning of oxygen‐consuming organic matter in the hypoxic zone of the Chesapeake Bay - Jianzhong Su; Wei‐Jun Cai; Jean Brodeur; Najid Hussain; Baoshan Chen; Jeremy M. Testa; K. Michael Scaboo; Deb P. Jaisi; Qiang Li; Minhan Dai; Jeffrey Cornwell (Limnology and Oceanography, 2020)
We surveyed the carbonate system along the main channel of the Chesapeake Bay in June 2016 to elucidate carbonate dynamics and the associated sources of oxygen‐consuming organic matter. Using a two endmember mixing calculation, chemical proxies, and stoichiometry, we demonstrated that in early summer, dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) dynamics were controlled by aerobic respiration in the water column (43%), sulfate reduction in the sediment (39%), atmospheric CO 2 invasion (13%), and CaCO 3 dissolution (5%). A mass balance of the DIC concentration and its stable isotope suggested that the apparent δ 13 C of oxygen‐consuming organic matter was −19.4 ± 0.3‰. The bulk composition of particulate organic matter also reflected a dominance of algal material (C/N = ~ 6, δ 13 C > −25‰). Therefore, we concluded that the decomposition of autochthonous organic matter (i.e., eutrophication‐stimulated primary production) was the dominant process consuming oxygen, while allochthonous organic matter (terrestrially derived) made minor contributions to oxygen consumption in the hypoxic zone in June 2016. These findings in the Chesapeake Bay contrast with another hypoxic estuarine ecosystem, the Pearl River Estuary in China where allochthonous organic matter contributed significantly to oxygen consumption. The differences between these two systems in terms of hydrology, quantity and quality of organic matter, and physical characteristics are discussed to yield new insights on the formation and maintenance of hypoxia. In both systems, autochthonous organic matter dominates oxygen depletion, indicating that nutrient management and reduction are useful actions to control and mitigate the occurrence of hypoxia for the restoration of ecosystem.

Host functional and phylogenetic composition rather than host diversity structure plant–herbivore networks - Ming‐Qiang Wang; Yi Li; Douglas Chesters; Helge Bruelheide; Keping Ma; Peng‐Fei Guo; Qing‐Song Zhou; Michael Staab; Chao‐Dong Zhu; Andreas Schuldt (Molecular Ecology, 2020)
Declining plant diversity alters ecological networks, such as plant–herbivore interactions. However, our knowledge of the potential mechanisms underlying effects of plant species loss on plant–herbivore network structure is still limited. We used DNA barcoding to identify herbivore–host plant associations along declining levels of tree diversity in a large‐scale, subtropical biodiversity experiment. We tested for effects of tree species richness, host functional and phylogenetic diversity, and host functional (leaf trait) and phylogenetic composition on species, phylogenetic and network composition of herbivore communities. We found that phylogenetic host composition and related palatability/defence traits but not tree species richness significantly affected herbivore communities and interaction network complexity at both the species and community levels. Our study indicates that evolutionary dependencies and functional traits of host plants determine the composition of higher trophic levels and corresponding interaction networks in species‐rich ecosystems. Our findings highlight that characteristics of the species lost have effects on ecosystem structure and functioning across trophic levels that cannot be predicted from mere reductions in species richness.

Modeling leaf senescence of deciduous tree species in Europe - Qiang Liu; Shilong Piao; Matteo Campioli; Mengdi Gao; Yongshuo H. Fu; Kai Wang; Yue He; Xiangyi Li; Ivan A. Janssens (Global Change Biology, 2020)
Autumnal leaf senescence signals the end of photosynthetic activities in temperate deciduous trees and consequently exerts a strong control on various ecological processes. Predicting leaf senescence dates (LSD) with high accuracy is thus a prerequisite for better understanding the climate–ecosystem interactions. However, modeling LSD at large spatial and temporal scales is challenging. In this study, first, we used 19972 site‐year records (848 sites and four deciduous tree species) from the PAN European Phenology network to calibrate and evaluate six leaf senescence models during the period 1980–2013. Second, we extended the spatial analysis by repeating the procedure across Europe using satellite‐derived end of growing season and a forest map. Overall, we found that models that considered photoperiod and temperature interactions outperformed models using simple temperature or photoperiod thresholds for Betula pendula , Fagus sylvatica and Quercus robur . On the contrary, no model displayed reasonable predictions for Aesculus hippocastanum . This inter‐model comparison indicates that, contrary to expectation, photoperiod does not significantly modulate the accumulation of cooling degree days (CDD). On the other hand, considering the carryover effect of leaf unfolding date could promote the models’ predictability. The CDD models generally matched the observed LSD at species level and its interannual variation, but were limited in explaining the inter‐site variations, indicating that other environmental cues need to be considered in future model development. The discrepancies remaining between model simulations and observations highlight the need of manipulation studies to elucidate the mechanisms behind the leaf senescence process and to make current models more realistic.

Numerical Investigations of Cavitation Nose Structure of a High-Speed Projectile Impact on Water-Entry Characteristics - Qiang Li; Lin Lu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020)
In this study, a detailed analysis of the influences of cavitation nose structure of a high-speed projectile on the trajectory stability during the water-entry process was investigated numerically. The Zwart-Gerber-Belamri (Z-G-B) cavitation model and the Shear Stress Ttransport (SST)k-ω turbulence model based on the Reynolds Averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) method were employed. The numerical methodology was validated by comparing the numerical simulation results with the experimental photograph of cavitation shape and the experimental underwater velocity. Based on the numerical methodology, the disk and the conical cavitation noses were selected to investigate the water-entry characteristics. The influences of cavitation nose angle and cavitation nose diameter of the projectile on the trajectory stability and flow characteristics were carried out in detail. The variation features of projectile trajectory, velocity attenuation and drag were conducted, respectively. In addition, the cavitation characteristics of water-entry is presented and analyzed. Results show that the trajectory stability can be improved by increasing the cavitation nose angle, but the drag reduction performance will be reduced simultaneously. Additionally, due to the weakening of drag reduction performance, the lower velocity of the projectile will cause the damage of the cavitation shape and the trajectory instability. Furthermore, the conical cavitation nose has preferable trajectory stability and drag reduction performance than the disk cavitation nose.

Temperature variation at the low‐latitude regions of East Asia recorded by tree rings during the past six centuries - Yu Liu; Ching‐Yao Li; Changfeng Sun; Huiming Song; Qiang Li; Qiufang Cai; Ruoshi Liu (International Journal of Climatology, 2020)
The understanding of past millennium climate change is very important. Due to the lack of continuously annual resolution records, the temperature characteristics in the low‐latitude regions of East Asia (LLREA) during past several centuries are still unknown. Using tree‐ring width chronology from Taiwan, an island located in the western Pacific region and in southeastern China, February–October mean temperature from 1380 to 2007 AD was reconstructed. Spatial correlation analysis indicated that the reconstructed temperature could represent the sea‐land temperature change in LLREA. During the past six centuries, both the warmest intervals and the largest variability of temperature appeared in the twentieth century. This is probably related to human activities. Temperature in LLREA provided good contrast with temperature changes in the Tibet Plateau and elsewhere in the Northern Hemisphere. The LLREA entered into the Little Ice Age around the year of 1450, approximately 100 years earlier than the Tibet Plateau. The 10‐year cycle contained in the reconstructed temperature is close to the 11‐year period of solar activity, which revealed there was a certain relationship between them. The temperature in LLREA significantly correlated with solar activity at the decadal to centennial scales. The strong/weak solar irradiance corresponded to the great/small temperature variability.
