Shifts in microbial community composition and function in the acidification of a lead/zinc mine tailings - Lin‐xing Chen; Jin‐tian Li; Ya‐ting Chen; Li‐nan Huang; Zheng‐shuang Hua; Min Hu; Wen‐sheng Shu (Environmental Microbiology, 2013)
Summary In an attempt to link the microbial community composition and function in mine tailings to the generation of acid mine drainage, we simultaneously explored the geochemistry and microbiology of six tailings collected from a lead/zinc mine, i.e. primary tailings ( T 1), slightly acidic tailings ( T2 ), extremely acidic tailings ( T 3, T 4 and T 5) and orange‐coloured oxidized tailings ( T6 ). Geochemical results showed that the six tailings (from T 1 to T 6) likely represented sequential stages of the acidification process of the mine tailings. 16 S r RNA pyrosequencing revealed a contrasting microbial composition between the six tailings: P roteobacteria‐ related sequences dominated T 1– T 3 with relative abundance ranging from 56 to 93%, whereas F erroplasma‐ related sequences dominated T 4– T 6 with relative abundance ranging from 28 to 58%. Furthermore, metagenomic analysis of the microbial communities of T 2 and T 6 indicated that the genes encoding key enzymes for microbial carbon fixation, nitrogen fixation and sulfur oxidation in T 2 were largely from T hiobacillus and A cidithiobacillus , M ethylococcus capsulatus , and T hiobacillus denitrificans respectively; while those in T 6 were mostly identified in A cidithiobacillus and L eptospirillum , A cidithiobacillus and L eptospirillum , and A cidithiobacillus respectively. The microbial communities in T 2 and T 6 harboured more genes suggesting diverse metabolic capacities for sulfur oxidation/heavy metal detoxification and tolerating low pH respectively.

Revealing storage-area relationship of open water in ungauged subalpine wetland — Napahai in Northwest Yunnan, China - Jie Li; Jin-ming Hu; Wei Deng; Sheng-li Huang; Hai-feng Jia; Chun-ling Zhu; Huai-xiu Luo (Journal of Mountain Science, 2013)
Mountains and plateaus in Southwest China contain many subalpine and alpine wetlands, with significant hydroecological functions. But ungauged or poorly gauged conditions limit the study and understanding of hydrological regimes of these wetland types. This study selects an ungauged subalpine wetland — Napahai in Northwest Yunnan, China — as a case for developing a practical approach to revealing its storage-area relationship of open water. A Trimble R8 GNSS (Global Navigation Satellites Systems) RTK (Real-time Kinematic system) and sonar fathometer were used to survey fine-resolution elevation data and generate a digital elevation model of the Napahai Wetland. Forty-four Landsat images from 1987 to 2011 were collected, and the Normalized Difference Water Index was used to classify open water features in the area. The area of open water in Napahai was calculated for each phase. With these data and a developed conceptual model, the storage of open water for each phase was estimated using ArcGIS tools. Both storage and area of open water showed significant intra-annual and inter-annual variations. In the rainy season, the monthly change of average storage of open water in Napahai showed about 1–2 months lag behind mean monthly rainfall. The storage-area relationship of open water was well fit by a power function equation ( R 2 ≈0.91, n =44). This study indicates that if detailed elevations are available for similarly ungauged subalpine wetlands in Southwest China, researchers can use this practical approach to estimate multi-temporal areas and storages and reveal the storage-area relationship of open water in the wetlands. The study provided valuable information of this case wetland for optimizing its hydro-ecological managements and a new method to wetland researchers and managers for the hydrological study of similarly ungauged wetland complex.

Genetic diversity of Bartonella quintana in macaques suggests zoonotic origin of trench fever - Hao Li; Jie‐Ying Bai; Li‐Yuan Wang; Lin Zeng; Yan‐Sheng Shi; Zheng‐Liang Qiu; Hua‐Hu Ye; Xiao‐Fei Zhang; Qing‐Bin Lu; Michael Kosoy; Wei Liu; Wu‐Chun Cao (Molecular Ecology, 2013)
Bartonella quintana is a bacterium that causes a broad spectrum of diseases in humans including trench fever. Humans were previously considered to be the primary, if not the only, reservoir hosts for B. quintana . To identify the animal reservoir and extend our understanding of the ecological and evolutionary history of B. quintana , we examined blood samples from macaques and performed multilocus sequence typing ( MLST ) analysis. We demonstrated the prevalence of B. quintana infection was common in macaques from main primate centres in mainland C hina. Overall, 18.0% (59/328) of rhesus macaques and 12.7% (39/308) of cynomolgus macaques were found to be infected with B. quintana by blood culture and/or polymerase chain reaction. The infection was more frequently identified in juvenile and young monkeys compared with adult animals. In contrast with the relatively low level of sequence divergence of B. quintana reported in humans, our investigation revealed much higher genetic diversity in nonhuman primates. We identified 44 new nucleotide variable sites and 14 novel sequence types (STs) among the B. quintana isolates by MLST analysis. Some STs were found only in cynomolgus macaques, while some others were detected only in rhesus macaques, suggesting evidence of host‐cospeciation, which were further confirmed by phylogenetic analysis and Splits decomposition analysis. Our findings suggest that trench fever may primarily be a zoonotic disease with macaques as the natural hosts.

Spatial patterns and climate drivers of carbon fluxes in terrestrial ecosystems of China - Gui‐Rui Yu; Xian‐Jin Zhu; Yu‐Ling Fu; Hong‐Lin He; Qiu‐Feng Wang; Xue‐Fa Wen; Xuan‐Ran Li; Lei‐Ming Zhang; Li Zhang; Wen Su; Sheng‐Gong Li; Xiao‐Min Sun; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2013)
Understanding the dynamics and underlying mechanism of carbon exchange between terrestrial ecosystems and the atmosphere is one of the key issues in global change research. In this study, we quantified the carbon fluxes in different terrestrial ecosystems in China, and analyzed their spatial variation and environmental drivers based on the long‐term observation data of China FLUX sites and the published data from other flux sites in China. The results indicate that gross ecosystem productivity ( GEP ), ecosystem respiration ( ER ), and net ecosystem productivity ( NEP ) of terrestrial ecosystems in China showed a significantly latitudinal pattern, declining linearly with the increase of latitude. However, GEP , ER , and NEP did not present a clear longitudinal pattern. The carbon sink functional areas of terrestrial ecosystems in China were mainly located in the subtropical and temperate forests, coastal wetlands in eastern China, the temperate meadow steppe in the northeast China, and the alpine meadow in eastern edge of Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau. The forest ecosystems had stronger carbon sink than grassland ecosystems. The spatial patterns of GEP and ER in China were mainly determined by mean annual precipitation ( MAP ) and mean annual temperature ( MAT ), whereas the spatial variation in NEP was largely explained by MAT . The combined effects of MAT and MAP explained 79%, 62%, and 66% of the spatial variations in GEP , ER , and NEP , respectively. The GEP , ER , and NEP in different ecosystems in China exhibited ‘positive coupling correlation’ in their spatial patterns. Both ER and NEP were significantly correlated with GEP , with 68% of the per‐unit GEP contributed to ER and 29% to NEP . MAT and MAP affected the spatial patterns of ER and NEP mainly by their direct effects on the spatial pattern of GEP .

Estimation of monthly average daily solar radiation from measured meteorological data in Yangtze River Basin in China - Ji‐Long Chen; Guo‐Sheng Li (International Journal of Climatology, 2013)
Solar radiation is the principal and fundamental energy for many physical, chemical and biological processes. However, it is measured at a very limited number of meteorological stations in the world. Estimation of solar radiation from measured meteorological variables offers an important alternative in absence of measured solar radiation. In this work, 20 developed models using measured meteorological variables are explored to estimate monthly average daily solar radiation at 13 stations in Yangtze River Basin in China. Two scenarios are considered. When sunshine duration is available, monthly average daily atmospheric water vapor pressure, relative humidity and precipitation do not contribute to the improvement in estimation accuracy of the sunshine‐based models. It is therefore unnecessary to take them into account, and the newly developed model 6 is proposed and can provide a good method for the estimation of monthly average daily solar radiation in the study area. If sunshine duration is not available, inclusion of monthly average daily atmospheric water vapor pressure, relative humidity and multiplication maximum by minimum ambient temperatures can significantly improve the estimation accuracy of the temperature‐based models. While monthly average daily precipitation does not contribute to the improvement in estimation accuracy. And model 20 is proposed and it is more applicable in area with larger ambient temperature range. Copyright © 2012 Royal Meteorological Society

(Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2012)
Aims With the aim of understanding why some of the world's forests exhibit higher tree beta diversity values than others, we asked: (1) what is the contribution of environmentally related variation versus pure spatial and local stochastic variation to tree beta diversity assessed at the forest plot scale; (2) at what resolution are these beta‐diversity components more apparent; and (3) what determines the variation in tree beta diversity observed across regions/continents? Location World‐wide. Methods We compiled an unprecedented data set of 10 large‐scale stem‐mapping forest plots differing in latitude, tree species richness and topographic variability. We assessed the tree beta diversity found within each forest plot separately. The non‐directional variation in tree species composition among cells of the plot was our measure of beta diversity. We compared the beta diversity of each plot with the value expected under a null model. We also apportioned the beta diversity into four components: pure topographic, spatially structured topographic, pure spatial and unexplained. We used linear mixed models to interpret the variation of beta diversity values across the plots. Results Total tree beta diversity within a forest plot decreased with increasing cell size, and increased with tree species richness and the amount of topographic variability of the plot. The topography‐related component of beta diversity was correlated with the amount of topographic variability but was unrelated to its species richness. The unexplained variation was correlated with the beta diversity expected under the null model and with species richness. Main conclusions Because different components of beta diversity have different determinants, comparisons of tree beta diversity across regions should quantify not only overall variation in species composition but also its components. Global‐scale patterns in tree beta diversity are largely coupled with changes in gamma richness due to the relationship between the latter and the variation generated by local stochastic assembly processes.

Previous studies have indicated that C hina is one of the domestication centres of A sian cultivated rice ( O ryza sativa ), and common wild rice ( O . rufipogon ) is the progenitor of O . sativa . However, the number of domestication times and the geographic origin of A sian cultivated rice in C hina are still under debate. In this study, 100 accessions of A sian cultivated rice and 111 accessions of common wild rice in C hina were selected to examine the relationship between O . sativa and O . rufipogon and thereby infer the domestication and evolution of O . sativa in C hina through sequence analyses of six gene regions, trn C ‐ycf6 in chloroplast genomes, cox3 in mitochondrial genomes and ITS , E hd1 , W axy , H d1 in nuclear genomes. The results indicated that the two subspecies of O . sativa (indica and japonica) were domesticated independently from different populations of O . rufipogon with gene flow occurring later from japonica to indica; S outhern C hina was the genetic diversity centre of O . rufipogon , and the P earl R iver basin near the T ropic of C ancer was the domestication centre of O . sativa in C hina.
