Short-term responses of phytoplankton size-fractionated structure and photosynthetic physiology to thermal effluent in a subtropical coastal bay - Simin Hu; Chen Zhang; Qingxia Liu; Tao Li; Hui Huang; Sheng Liu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
Elevated water temperature caused by the thermal discharge from power plants can exert multiple ecological impacts on the phytoplankton community in coastal ecosystems. Most recent studies have focused on the reshaping effects on the community structure; however, the short-term response of phytoplankton physiology to thermal discharge remains unclear. This study conducted research on the scope of thermal discharge from the nuclear power plant and the size-fractionated phytoplankton structure combined with photosynthetic physiology in Daya Bay, China. The thermal discharge significantly affected the surface temperature in the outlet regions, and the thermal plume mainly diffused along the northeast coast of the outfall site, resulting in a significant difference in the surface temperature between the inlet and outlet transects ( p< 0.05). Elevated surface temperatures decreased the total chlorophyll a concentrations by 33.19% at the outlet regions, with pico-phytoplankton decreasing the most. Chlorophyll a concentrations were higher at sites further away from the outlets, indicating that elevated water temperature might stimulate the rapid growth of phytoplankton, especially nano-phytoplankton which replaced pico-phytoplankton as the dominant group at stations away from the outlets. Significant negative correlations were observed between the photochemical quantum yield ( F v /F m ) and temperature ( p< 0.05), and the relative electron transport rate (rETR) and temperature ( p< 0.05). Phytoplankton showed a normal photosynthetic physiological state at most sites with a surface temperature<33°C but was severely affected at the outlet site with a 5°C rise, decreasing from ~0.5 on the inlet transect to 0.07. During the diurnal survey, the high temperatures near the outlet at midday had a compensatory effect on phytoplankton’s light suppression. The results indicated that the physiological state of phytoplankton was clearly influenced by the thermal discharge with diurnal variation, and different size-fractionated phytoplankton groups exhibited heterogeneous responses. The findings may provide further insights into the ecological impacts of thermal discharges as well as global warming in subtropical regions.

Analysis of the accuracy of using ERA5 reanalysis data for diagnosis of evaporation ducts in the East China Sea - Zhijin Qiu; Cheng Zhang; Bo Wang; Tong Hu; Jing Zou; Zhiqian Li; Shizhe Chen; Sheng Wu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023)
Evaporation ducts are a phenomenon that occurs with extremely high frequency at the boundary between the atmosphere and the ocean. Because they directly affect the propagation of electromagnetic waves, it is necessary to study their various characteristics. Since it is difficult to conduct large-scale observations at sea, many researchers use reanalysis data for this task instead of observation data. However, there have been no studies verifying accuracy of this analysis method for the diagnosis of evaporation ducts. Therefore, in this work, observations of the low-altitude atmospheric refractivity profile were carried out over the East China Sea on board the research vessel Xiangyanghong 18 in April 2021. First, the differences between different evaporation duct models were examined based on the meteorological and hydrological data obtained at different heights. It was concluded that the diagnostic accuracy of the evaporation duct model is low in stable conditions and a low-wind-speed environment. Under the same conditions, the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) model showed high diagnostic accuracy when compared with other models. Second, Taylor plots were used to verify the accuracy of the reanalysis data and the observation data. It was concluded that the single-parameter precision of the reanalysis data is relatively high, and there were strong correlations with the observation data. Finally, the observation and reanalysis data were used to compare and analyze the false-report rate, the missing-report rate, and the accuracy of the diagnosed evaporation duct height using the NPS model. The false-report rate and missing-report rate were found to be 1.93% and 1.52%, respectively. The average diagnosis deviation was 3.34 m. The Pearson correlation coefficient was found to be close to 1. The results indicate that it is basically feasible to analyze the characteristics of evaporation ducts based on the NPS model using reanalysis data.

Detection and assessment of dust mite allergens in an indoor environment in Anhui, China - Qiqi Xue; Minghui Zou; Junjie Guo; Qiao Teng; Qiqi Zhang; Lingwei Sheng; Sijia Xu; Can Fang; Ning Yao; Yuanyuan Li; Jinhong Zhao (Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2023)
Dust in the home environment is thought to be a potential trigger for increasing allergic diseases, such as allergic rash, rhinitis, asthma, and other conditions, associated with dust mites. To verify the status of dust mite prevalence in indoor surroundings, we collected 189 dust samples from the air conditioner filters ( n = 75) and floors ( n = 114) of households, schools, and hotels in the Anhui area, China. All samples were measured for dust mite breeding rate and breeding density under light microscopy and analyzed for dust mite species Dermatophagoides farinae 1 (Der f 1) and Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus 1 (Der p 1) allergen using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The dust mite breeding rates were 34.67% (26/75) and 20.18% (23/114), respectively, in the dust samples from the floor and air conditioning filters. The breeding density was the highest in households (10/g), followed by schools (9/g) and hotels (4/g). ELISA indicated that the allergen threshold (2.0 µg/g dust) of Der f 1 was exceeded in only two samples and Der p 1 in one sample. Additionally, a questionnaire was used to investigate the health knowledge on allergic diseases involved in indoor facilities, finding that most allergy sufferers were aware that indoor dust might be responsible for their conditions. The findings suggest that regular maintenance of indoor hygiene and cleaning of air-conditioning filters should reduce the risks of exposure to indoor allergens.

Quartz luminescence sensitivity variation in the Chinese loess deposits: the potential role of wildfires - Junjie Zhang; Sheng‐Hua Li; Jimin Sun; Tongyan Lü; Xinying Zhou; Qingzhen Hao (Journal of Quaternary Science, 2023)
The sensitivity of optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) of quartz grains has been applied to trace the provenances of sediments in various environments. Here, we studied the OSL sensitivity of quartz grains in four sections (Jingyuan, Huanxian, Xifeng and Luochuan) along a west–east transect on the Chinese Loess Plateau (CLP). The quartz OSL sensitivity in the palaeosol units is higher overall than that in the loess units, and it shows an increasing trend from the west CLP to the east CLP. In palaeosol units, it increases by a factor of ~20 along the west–east transect; while in loess units it increases by a smaller degree of 3–5. The change of provenances and the change of distances between the provenances and the loess sections cannot fully account for the large degree of sensitivity variation between the loess and palaeosol units in the central and eastern CLP. We propose that wildfires may have played an important role in enhancing the quartz OSL sensitivity in the palaeosol units in the central and eastern CLP. Quartz OSL sensitivity has the potential to be used as a proxy for palaeowildfires.

Warming reduced flowering synchrony and extended community flowering season in an alpine meadow on the Tibetan Plateau - Yaya Chen; Scott L. Collins; Yunpeng Zhao; Tianwu Zhang; Xiangrong Yang; Hang An; Guorui Hu; Chunming Xin; Juan Zhou; Xiongjie Sheng; Mingrui He; Panhong Zhang; et al. (Ecology, 2023)
The timing of phenological events is highly sensitive to climate change, and may influence ecosystem structure and function. Although changes in flowering phenology among species under climate change have been reported widely, how species‐specific shifts will affect phenological synchrony and community‐level phenology patterns remains unclear. We conducted a manipulative experiment of warming and precipitation addition and reduction to explore how climate change affected flowering phenology at the species and community levels in an alpine meadow on the eastern Tibetan Plateau. We found that warming advanced the first and last flowering times differently and with no consistent shifts in flowering duration among species, resulting in the entire flowering period of species emerging earlier in the growing season. Early‐flowering species were more sensitive to warming than mid‐ and late‐flowering species, thereby reducing flowering synchrony among species and extending the community‐level flowering season. However, precipitation and its interactions with warming had no significant effects on flowering phenology. Our results suggest that temperature regulates flowering phenology from the species to community levels in this alpine meadow community, yet how species shifted their flowering timing and duration in response to warming varied. This species‐level divergence may reshape flowering phenology in this alpine plant community. Decreasing flowering synchrony among species and the extension of community‐level flowering seasons under warming may alter future trophic interactions, with cascading consequences to community and ecosystem function.

Changes in amino acid and fatty acid composition during early development in cobia (Rachycentron canadum) - Jian-sheng Huang; Rong-xin Li; Rui-tao Xie; You-ming Chen; Jian-dong Zhang; Eric Amenyogbe; Gang Chen (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
An estimation of the utilization of endogenous nutrients from the yolk sac that occurs during embryonic and early larval development can be a valuable approach to studying the nutritional requirements of fish larvae. In this study, fertilized eggs, embryos (before the membrane, 24 hours after fertilization), newly-hatched larvae (0-d-old), and open-mouthed larvae (3-day-old, unfed rotifers) samples of cobia ( Rachycentron canadum ) were collected to determine the amino acid and fatty acid profiles. Crude protein composition varies significantly for cobia during the different stages of development. The total amino acids, except for lysine(Lys), histidine (His), methionine(Met), serine(Ser), and glycine(Gly), had no significant change in the early development stage ( P > 0.05); the content of other six essential amino acids (EAA) and six non-essential amino acids (NEAA) was consistent with the changing trend of total essential amino acid. From hatching newly hatched larvae to open-mouthed larvae, except for Leu, Phe and Ser, decreased significantly ( P <0.05). From the utilization rate of FAA, the utilization rate of Lys and Leu was the highest (60.26%) and (52.21%) in the embryonic and endogenous nutritional stages, respectively. The water content of the open-mouthed larvae of cobia was significantly higher than that of the fertilized eggs, embryos, and newly hatched larvae ( P < 0.05). Three kinds of saturated fatty acids (SFA), five kinds of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA), and eight kinds of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) were detected in the dry samples of each developmental stage. Based on these results, juvenile cobia can thrive with a wide range of crude protein concentrations. Further refinement of commercial cobia production feeds would have beneficial consequences for economic and environmental concerns due to the positive impacts of optimizing the protein component as well as the ability to maintain the rapid growth rates. The results show that the larval development of cobia needs to consume large amounts of n3PUFA (especially DHA and EPA) to improve the larvae’s survival rate. Research methods will always have limitations when evaluating the relationship between early life nutrition interventions and well-being outcomes later in life. This study provides essential information regarding cobia larvae’s fatty acid requirements.

Novel SNPs in the 3′UTR Region of GHRb Gene Associated with Growth Traits in Striped Catfish (Pangasianodon hypophthalmus), a Valuable Aquaculture Species - Liang-Sen Jiang; Zhuo-Hao Ruan; Zhi-Qiang Lu; Yi-Fu Li; Yuan-Yuan Luo; Xi-Quan Zhang; Wen-Sheng Liu (Fishes, 2022)
The striped catfish, Pangasianodon hypophthalmus is an important freshwater aquaculture species in Southeast Asian countries due to its rapid growth. The growth hormone receptor (GHR) is a significant regulatory factor for the growth axis and has great potential applications in animal genetic breeding. This study aims to characterize the GHRb cDNA of the striped catfish and analyze the distribution of its mRNA. Screening of single nucleotide polymorphisms’ (SNPs) loci and diplotypes was performed to provide basic information for the assisted selection of molecular markers in genetic breeding. The results showed that the GHRb cDNA of striped catfish had 2791 bp, which encoded for 569 amino acids. In a phylogenyic study, the ghrb of the striped catfish was clustered with those of other catfish and they were highly homologous. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) experiments showed that GHRb mRNA was expressed in ten different organs of the striped catfish, with the highest expression level in the liver. Five SNP and a haplotype block were identified in the 3′UTR of the GHRb gene using the direct sequencing of 307 individuals. Three haplotypes were found and four diplotypes were constructed. The association analysis revealed that these polymorphisms were significantly associated with growth traits in the striped catfish (p

Systematic contributions of CFEM domain‐containing proteins to iron acquisition are essential for interspecies interaction of the filamentous pathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana - Yue‐Jin Peng; Jia Hou; Hao Zhang; Jia‐Hui Lei; Hai‐Yan Lin; Jin‐Li Ding; Ming‐Guang Feng; Sheng‐Hua Ying (Environmental Microbiology, 2022)
Summary Common in fungal extracellular membrane (CFEM) domain is unique in fungal proteins and some of which contribute to iron acquisition in yeast. However, their roles in iron acquisition remain largely unknown in filamentous fungi. In this study, 12 CFEM‐containing proteins were bioinformatically identified in the filamentous entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana , and the roles of 11 genes were genetically characterized. Transmembrane helices were critical for their association with intracellular membranes, and their number varied among proteins. Eleven CFEM genes significantly contribute to vegetative growth under iron starvation and virulence. Notably, the virulence of most disruptants could be significantly weakened by a decrease in iron availability, in which the virulence of Δ Bbcfem7 and 8 strains was partially recovered by exogenous hemin. Δ Bbcfem7 and 8 mutants displayed defective competitiveness against the sister entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria brongniartii . All 11 disruptants displayed impaired growth in the antagonistic assay with the saprotrophic fungus Aspergillus niger , which could be repressed by exogenous ferric ions. These findings not only reveal the systematic contributions of CFEM proteins to acquire two forms of iron (i.e. heme and ferric ion) in the entire lifecycle of entomopathogenic fungi but also help to better understand the mechanisms of fungus–host and inter–fungus interactions.

Improving protected area effectiveness through consideration of different human‐pressure baselines - Chun‐Ting Feng; Ming Cao; Fang‐Zheng Liu; Yue Zhou; Jin‐Hong Du; Li‐Bo Zhang; Wen‐Jie Huang; Jian‐Wu Luo; Jun‐Sheng Li; Wei Wang (Conservation Biology, 2022)
Previous assessments of the effectiveness of protected areas (PAs) focused primarily on changes in human pressure over time and did not consider the different human‐pressure baselines of PAs, thereby potentially over‐ or underestimating PA effectiveness. We developed a framework that considers both human‐pressure baseline and change in human pressure over time and assessed the effectiveness of 338 PAs in China from 2010 to 2020. The initial state of human pressure on PAs was taken as the baseline, and changes in human pressure index (HPI) were further analyzed under different baselines. We used the random forest models to identify the management measures that most improved effectiveness in resisting human pressure for the PAs with different baselines. Finally, the relationships between the changes in the HPI and the changes in natural ecosystems in PAs were analyzed with different baselines. Of PAs with low HPI baselines, medium HPI baselines, and high HPI baselines, 76.92% ( n =150), 11.11% ( n =12), and 22.86% ( n =8) , respectively, showed positive effects in resisting human pressure. Overall, ignoring human‐pressure baselines somewhat underestimated the positive effects of PAs, especially for those with low initial human pressure. For PAs with different initial human pressures, different management measures should be taken to improve effectiveness and reduce threats to natural ecosystems. We believe our framework is useful for assessing the effectiveness of PAs globally, and we recommend it be included in the Convention on Biological Diversity Post‐2020 Strategy.

Species and Functional Dynamics of the Demersal Fish Community and Responses to Disturbances in the Pearl River Estuary - Zeyu Zeng; William W. L. Cheung; Han Lai; Huadong Yi; Sheng Bi; Haiyang Li; Xiaoli Chen; Yuqin Su; Xuange Liu; Qiuxian Chen; Zhilun Zhang; Xuchong Wei; et al. (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Fishery resources are threatened by environmental changes and anthropogenic pressures, particularly in coastal ecosystems. It is crucial to understand the changes of fish communities and their responses to environmental changes and human disturbances to formulate rational fisheries and ecosystem-based management. The Pearl River Estuary (PRE) is a typical sub-tropic coastal ecosystem located in the center of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area in the northern South China Sea. The demersal fish in the PRE is traditionally targeted as commercial fishing and severely impacted by overexploitation and hypoxia in the last few decades. In this study, we analyze the fish survey data during the period of 2020~2021 using multivariate statistics to investigate the impacts of human disturbances on the species and functional dynamics of the demersal fish community in the PRE. The results reveal that dissolved oxygen and temperature have significant correlations with the functional traits of the demersal fish community. The impacts of hypoxia on the demersal fish vary with species and locations. We found that the mean functional redundancy of the demersal fish community in the PRE was high across three surveys, but the functional diversity was low in this region. The abundance and richness of the demersal fish community increased during the summer fishing moratorium in the South China Sea in 2021, but the functional diversity did not increase significantly. We conclude that the high functional redundancy in the PRE might not be sufficient to buffer against environmental disturbances because of its low functional diversity. Our study highlights the complicated interactions between the demersal fish community and disturbances in the PRE. Understanding the traits structure and functional diversity of the fish community can help elucidate the factors determining the dynamic responses of the fish community to disturbances.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is an age-related neurological disorder. Currently, there is no effective cure for AD due to its complexity in pathogenesis. In light of the complex pathogenesis of AD, the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formula Kai-Xin-San (KXS), which was used for amnesia treatment, has been proved to improve cognitive function in AD animal models. However, the active ingredients and the mechanism of KXS have not yet been clearly elucidated. In this study, network pharmacology analysis predicts that KXS yields 168 candidate compounds acting on 863 potential targets, 30 of which are associated with AD. Enrichment analysis revealed that the therapeutic mechanisms of KXS for AD are associated with the inhibition of Tau protein hyperphosphorylation, inflammation, and apoptosis. Therefore, we chose 7-month-old senescence-accelerated mouse prone 8 (SAMP8) mice as AD mouse model, which harbors the behavioral and pathological hallmarks of AD. Subsequently, the potential underlying action mechanisms of KXS on AD predicted by the network pharmacology analyses were experimentally validated in SAMP8 mice after intragastric administration of KXS for 3 months. We observed that KXS upregulated AKT phosphorylation, suppressed GSK3β and CDK5 activation, and inhibited the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway to attenuate Tau hyperphosphorylation and neuroinflammation, thus suppressing neuronal apoptosis and improving the cognitive impairment of aged SAMP8 mice. Taken together, our findings reveal a multi-component and multi-target therapeutic mechanism of KXS for attenuating the progression of AD, contributing to the future development of TCM modernization, including KXS, and broader clinical application.

Zkscan3 affects erythroblast development by regulating the transcriptional activity of GATA1 and KLF1 in mice - Zixuan Li; Binjie Sheng; Tingting Zhang; Tian Wang; Dan Chen; Gangli An; Xingbing Wang; Huimin Meng; Lin Yang (Journal of Molecular Histology, 2022)
ZKSCAN3 encodes a zinc-finger transcription factor that regulates the expression of important genes and plays a significant role in tumor development, pathogenesis, and metastasis. However, its biological functions under normal physiological conditions remain largely unknown. In our previous studies, using flow cytometry, we found that the deletion of Zkscan3 may cause abnormal erythropoiesis. In this study, we found that, in a Zkscan3 knockout mice model, the number of splenic early-stage (basophilic-erythroblasts) and late-stage (chromatophilic-erythroblasts to polychromatophilic-erythroblasts through orthochromatophilic-erythroblasts) erythroblasts increased, whereas the number of late erythroblasts in the bone marrow decreased. Moreover, the phenotype was exacerbated after treating mice with phenylhydrazine (PHZ), which causes severe hemolytic anemia. In the knockout mice treated with PHZ, the percentage of reticulocyte in the peripheral blood conspicuously increased, whereas MCHC and red blood cells decreased. Then, we performed RNA-seq and quantitative-polymerase chain reaction assay and found that the expression of GATA1 and Tiam1 in erythroblasts were upregulated, whereas KLF1 was downregulated. Luciferase assays showed that Zkscan3 inhibited the transcription of GATA1 and Tiam1 and promoted the expression of KLF1 . Additionally, ChIP and CO-IP results confirmed that Zkscan3 directly interacts with GATA1 and inhibits its transcriptional activity in MEL cells. Our results demonstrate, for the first time, the significant role of Zkscan3 in physiological erythropoiesis through the interaction with GATA1, both at the DNA and protein level, and with Tiam1 and KLF1 at the DNA level.

Responses of soil pH to no‐till and the factors affecting it: A global meta‐analysis - Xin Zhao; Cong He; Wen‐Sheng Liu; Wen‐Xuan Liu; Qiu‐Yue Liu; Wei Bai; Li‐Jun Li; Rattan Lal; Hai‐Lin Zhang (Global Change Biology, 2022)
No‐till (NT) is a sustainable option because of its benefits in controlling erosion, saving labor, and mitigating climate change. However, a comprehensive assessment of soil pH response to NT is still lacking. Thus, a global meta‐analysis was conducted to determine the effects of NT on soil pH and to identify the influential factors and possible consequences based on the analysis of 114 publications. When comparing tillage practices, the results indicated an overall significant decrease by 1.33 ± 0.28% in soil pH under NT than that under conventional tillage ( p −1 (−1.83%), or crop residue retention (−1.52%). Changes in organic matter decomposition under undisturbed soil and with crop residue retention might lead to a higher concentration of H + and lower of basic cations (i.e., calcium, magnesium, and potassium), which decrease the soil pH, and consequently, impact nutrient dynamics (i.e., soil phosphorus) in the surface layer under NT. Furthermore, soil acidification may be aggravated by NT within site‐specific conditions and improper fertilizer and crop residue management and consequently leading to adverse effects on soil nutrient availability. Thus, there is a need to identify strategies to ameliorate soil acidification under NT to minimize the adverse consequences.

The Key Regulator of Necroptosis, RIP1 Kinase, Contributes to the Formation of Astrogliosis and Glial Scar in Ischemic Stroke - Yong-Ming Zhu; Liang Lin; Chao Wei; Yi Guo; Yuan Qin; Zhong-Sheng Li; Thomas A. Kent; Claire E. McCoy; Zhan-Xiang Wang; Yong Ni; Xian-Yong Zhou; Hui-Ling Zhang (Translational Stroke Research, 2021)
Necroptosis initiation relies on the receptor-interacting protein 1 kinase (RIP1K). We recently reported that genetic and pharmacological inhibition of RIP1K produces protection against ischemic stroke-induced astrocytic injury. However, the role of RIP1K in ischemic stroke-induced formation of astrogliosis and glial scar remains unknown. Here, in a transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO) rat model and an oxygen and glucose deprivation and reoxygenation (OGD/Re)-induced astrocytic injury model, we show that RIP1K was significantly elevated in the reactive astrocytes. Knockdown of RIP1K or delayed administration of RIP1K inhibitor Nec-1 down-regulated the glial scar markers, improved ischemic stroke-induced necrotic morphology and neurologic deficits, and reduced the volume of brain atrophy. Moreover, knockdown of RIP1K attenuated astrocytic cell death and proliferation and promoted neuronal axonal generation in a neuron and astrocyte co-culture system. Both vascular endothelial growth factor D (VEGF-D) and its receptor VEGFR-3 were elevated in the reactive astrocytes; simultaneously, VEGF-D was increased in the medium of astrocytes exposed to OGD/Re. Knockdown of RIP1K down-regulated VEGF-D gene and protein levels in the reactive astrocytes. Treatment with 400 ng/ml recombinant VEGF-D induced the formation of glial scar; conversely, the inhibitor of VEGFR-3 suppressed OGD/Re-induced glial scar formation. RIP3K and MLKL may be involved in glial scar formation. Taken together, these results suggest that RIP1K participates in the formation of astrogliosis and glial scar via impairment of normal astrocyte responses and enhancing the astrocytic VEGF-D/VEGFR-3 signaling pathways. Inhibition of RIP1K promotes the brain functional recovery partially via suppressing the formation of astrogliosis and glial scar. Graphical Abstract

Numerical Investigation of the Characteristics of Erosion in a Centrifugal Pump for Transporting Dilute Particle-Laden Flows - Rui-Jie Zhao; You-Long Zhao; De-Sheng Zhang; Yan Li; Lin-Lin Geng (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
Erosion in centrifugal pumps for transporting flows with dilute particles is a main pump failure problem in many engineering processes. A numerical model combining the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and Discrete Element Method (DEM) is applied to simulate erosion in a centrifugal pump. Different models of the liquid-solid inter-phase forces are implemented, and the particle-turbulence interaction is also defined. The inertial particles considered in this work are monodisperse and have finite size. The numerical results are validated by comparing the results with a series of experimental data. Then, the effects of particle volume fraction, size, and shape on the pump erosion are estimated in the simulations. The results demonstrate that severe erosive areas are located near the inlet and outlet of the pressure side of the impeller blade, the middle region of the blade, the corners of the shroud and hub of the impeller adjoining to the pressure side of the blade, and the volute near the pump tongue. Among these locations, the maximum erosion occurs near the inlet of the pressure side of the blade. Erosion mitigation occurs under the situation where more particles accumulate in the near-wall region of the eroded surface, forming a buffering layer. The relationship between the particle size and the erosion is nonlinear, and the 1 mm particle causes the maximum pump erosion. The sharp particles cause more severe erosion in the pump because both the frequency of particle-wall collisions and the impact angle increase with the increasing sharpness of the particle.

Disturbance-Mediated Changes in Coral Reef Habitat Provoke a Positive Feeding Response in a Major Coral Reef Detritivore, Ctenochaetus striatus - Xianzhi Lin; Simin Hu; Yong Liu; Li Zhang; Hui Huang; Sheng Liu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Coral reefs are undergoing global phase shifts from coral-dominated to algae-dominated stages. The negative effects of this substratum shift on the diversity and abundance of fish have been well documented, but the influence on fish feeding is less studied, which may limit a deeper understanding of trophic pathways in such a disturbed system. In this study, we investigated the feeding response of a numerically dominant fish species Ctenochaetus striatus to different substrate types, including hard coral, short algal turfs (SATs, <5 mm), and long algal turfs (LATs, >5 mm), on reefs in the South China Sea. The biomass of C. striatus showed an inverted U-shaped relationship with coral coverage and a significant positive correlation with SAT coverage ( p < 0.05), indicating that rising SAT coverage associated with moderate coral loss provoked a feeding response in C. striatus . Stomach contents of C. striatus , analyzed using high-throughput sequencing (HTS), were dominated by algal sequences (relative read abundance, RRA > 80.0%), including macroalgae, filamentous algae, and microalgae (e.g., Symbiodinium and Prorocentrum ). The sequence number and diversity of microalgae (mainly dinoflagellates) tended to be abundant (RRA 13.5–36.5%) with increased SAT cover, but brown algae sequences (RRA 17.2–57.8%) or green algae sequences (RRA > 50.7% except one site) dominated the stomach content DNA in reefs with high coral cover and high LAT or macroalgal cover, respectively. Considering the limited ability of C. striatus to remove mature algae, macroalgal DNA might be from algal debris. Our results indicate that C. striatus populations respond positively to conditions of moderate coral loss through increases in body condition identified as increased biomass. These responses are correlated to the expansion of SAT’s as coral cover declined, however, this relationship reverses if coral loss is high due to the succession of LAT’s over SAT’s and a corresponding decrease in the quality of food available. Our use of HTS has nevertheless identified the importance of detritivory in the flow of energy through reefs in the Anthropocene which are increasingly becoming depauperate in hard coral.

Kelp aquaculture in China: a retrospective and future prospects - Zi‐Min Hu; Ti‐Feng Shan; Jie Zhang; Quan‐Sheng Zhang; Alan T. Critchley; Han‐Gil Choi; Norishige Yotsukura; Fu‐Li Liu; De‐Lin Duan (Reviews in Aquaculture, 2021)
Globally, China has the largest scale of kelp cultivation and production operations. However, its kelp aquaculture industry is suffering from declining germplasm diversity, degradation of agronomic traits, the presence of polluted environments, changing ocean conditions and increasing anthropological interference. This review covers two of the most commercially important kelp species in China, viz. Saccharina japonica and Undaria pinnatifida . It summarizes the history of their cultivation, production, economic and ecological benefits, their breeding programmes (e.g. inter‐ and intra‐specific hybridization and marker‐assisted selection) and efforts towards population genetic diversity and conservation. The article focuses on three significant challenges, for example genetic cross‐contamination between the wild and farmed kelp populations, ocean warming and ocean acidification. Accordingly, we outline the steps required to provide several intervention measures, for example (i) collection and preservation of wild and cultivated kelp germplasm; (ii) selection of suitable cultivation sites under changing environmental conditions; (iii) developing stress‐resistant cultivars; and finally, (iv) adoption of innovative cultivation models. The review concludes with genome‐based, designs for molecular breeding and calls for the establishment of an East Asian Kelp Consortium (EAKC). Collectively, the Chinese kelp industry could provide beneficial goods and services, for example bioenergy to fine chemicals and environmental benefits, such as carbon capture, pH amelioration and provision of habitat for many other marine species of commercial value. The strategies proposed in this article thus have the potential to not only improve but also reinvigorate the kelp industry in China and nearby Japan and Korea, in the context of both environmental health and economic benefits.

Mechanical properties of lightweight foam concrete filler for roadbed of high-speed railway - De-Gou Cai; Shao-Wei Wei; Yang-Sheng Ye; Qian-Li Zhang; Zhong-Guo Li; Si Li (Arabian Journal of Geosciences, 2021)
A high-speed railway has high requirements for line smoothness, and uneven settlement control is the primary factor considered in the design and operation of the subgrade. The emergence of lightweight subgrade structures meets the needs of the development of the high-speed railway. As a kind of filling material with good performance, lightweight foam concrete can effectively reduce the load and excessive settlement of subgrade and effectively reduce the cost of foundation treatment. This paper studied the dynamic characteristics of lightweight foam concrete with different wet densities and water-bearing states under train loading. The effects of wet density and fly ash content on the compressibility, impermeability, and frost resistance of lightweight foam concrete were analyzed in detail. The results show that the lightweight foam concrete still has high residual strength after compression, which is about 60% of its peak strength. Under different mix ratios, the critical dynamic stress of the lightweight foam concrete is generally 0.2–0.3 times the unconfined compressive strength, and the dynamic elastic modulus increases with the increase of wet density and cyclic stress amplitude. With the fly ash content increasing, the volume water absorption of lightweight foam concrete decreases first and then increases, and the critical value of fly ash content is 40%. The frost resistance of lightweight foam concrete gradually increases with the increase of wet density, and the dynamic elastic modulus of the sample with 279 kg·m −3 density lost 41.1% after 20 freeze–thaw cycles. When the content of fly ash is 20%, the frost resistance of lightweight foam concrete is equivalent to that of pure cement.

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.
