A genomic island of the sulfate‐reducing bacterium Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough promotes survival under stress conditions while decreasing the efficiency of anaerobic growth - Shawna Johnston; Shiping Lin; Phoebe Lee; Sean M. Caffrey; Janine Wildschut; Johanna K. Voordouw; Sofia M. Da Silva; Ines A. C. Pereira; Gerrit Voordouw (Environmental Microbiology, 2009)
Summary A 47 kb genomic island (GEI) bracketed by 50 bp direct repeats, containing 52 annotated genes, was found to delete spontaneously from the genome of Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough. The island contains genes for site‐specific recombinases and transposases, rubredoxin:oxygen oxidoreductase‐1 (Roo1) and hybrid cluster protein‐1 (Hcp1), which promote survival in air and nitrite stress. The numbering distinguishes these from the Roo2 and Hcp2 homologues for which the genes are located elsewhere in the genome. Cells with and without the island (GEI + and GEI ‐ cells respectively) were obtained by colony purification. GEI ‐ cells arise in anaerobic cultures of colony‐purified GEI + cells, indicating that the site‐specific recombinases encoded by the island actively delete this region. GEI + cells survive better in microaerophilic conditions due to the presence of Roo1, whereas the Hcps appear to prevent inhibition by sulfur and polysulfide, which are formed by chemical reaction of sulfide and nitrite. Hence, the island confers resistance to oxygen and nitrite stress. However, GEI ‐ cells have a higher growth rate in anaerobic media. Microarrays and enzyme activity stains indicated that the GEI ‐ cells have increased expression of genes, which promote anaerobic energy conservation, explaining the higher growth rate. Hence, while lowering the efficiency of anaerobic metabolism, the GEI increases the fitness of D. vulgaris under stress conditions, a feature reminiscent of pathogenicity islands which allow more effective colonization of environments provided by the targeted hosts.

Coccolithophores as palaeoecological indicators for shifts of the ITCZ in the Cariaco Basin during the late Quaternary - Kenneth N. J. M. Mertens; Matt Lynn; Mylene Aycard; Hui‐Ling Lin; Stephen Louwye (Journal of Quaternary Science, 2009)
Coccoliths were studied from the ODP Hole 1002C and core PL07‐39PC in the Cariaco Basin. Increases in Emiliania huxleyi are synchronous with decreases of Gephyrocapsa oceanica and vice versa. A new index (GEX) based on the relative abundances of these two taxa is proposed, and correlates with various other proxies. It is shown that GEX can serve as upwelling proxy. This confirms that the Intertropical Convergence Zone shifted north during the Bølling/Allerød, south during the Younger Dryas and back north during the Preboreal. The upwelling proxy shows few discrepancies with the terrigenous record. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Loss of functional diversity under land use intensification across multiple taxa - Dan F. B. Flynn; Melanie Gogol‐Prokurat; Theresa Nogeire; Nicole Molinari; Bárbara Trautman Richers; Brenda B. Lin; Nicholas Simpson; Margaret M. Mayfield; Fabrice DeClerck (Ecology Letters, 2009)
Land use intensification can greatly reduce species richness and ecosystem functioning. However, species richness determines ecosystem functioning through the diversity and values of traits of species present. Here, we analyze changes in species richness and functional diversity (FD) at varying agricultural land use intensity levels. We test hypotheses of FD responses to land use intensification in plant, bird, and mammal communities using trait data compiled for 1600+ species. To isolate changes in FD from changes in species richness we compare the FD of communities to the null expectations of FD values. In over one‐quarter of the bird and mammal communities impacted by agriculture, declines in FD were steeper than predicted by species number. In plant communities, changes in FD were indistinguishable from changes in species richness. Land use intensification can reduce the functional diversity of animal communities beyond changes in species richness alone, potentially imperiling provisioning of ecosystem services.

Infrared heater arrays for warming ecosystem field plots - BRUCE A. KIMBALL; MATTHEW M. CONLEY; SHIPING WANG; XINGWU LIN; CAIYUN LUO; JACK MORGAN; DAVID SMITH (Global Change Biology, 2008)
There is a need for methodology to warm open‐field plots in order to study the likely effects of global warming on ecosystems in the future. Herein, we describe the development of arrays of more powerful and efficient infrared heaters with ceramic heating elements. By tilting the heaters at 45° from horizontal and combining six of them in a hexagonal array, good uniformity of warming was achieved across 3‐m‐diameter plots. Moreover, there do not appear to be obstacles (other than financial) to scaling to larger plots. The efficiency [ η h (%); thermal radiation out per electrical energy in] of these heaters was higher than that of the heaters used in most previous infrared heater experiments and can be described by: η h = 10 + 25exp(− 0.17 u ), where u is wind speed at 2 m height (m s − 1 ). Graphs are presented to estimate operating costs from degrees of warming, two types of plant canopy, and site windiness. Four such arrays were deployed over plots of grass at Haibei, Qinghai, China and another at Cheyenne, Wyoming, USA, along with corresponding reference plots with dummy heaters. Proportional integral derivative systems with infrared thermometers to sense canopy temperatures of the heated and reference plots were used to control the heater outputs. Over month‐long periods at both sites, about 75% of canopy temperature observations were within 0.5 °C of the set‐point temperature differences between heated and reference plots. Electrical power consumption per 3‐m‐diameter plot averaged 58 and 80 kW h day − 1 for Haibei and Cheyenne, respectively. However, the desired temperature differences were set lower at Haibei (1.2 °C daytime, 1.7 °C night) than Cheyenne (1.5 °C daytime, 3.0 °C night), and Cheyenne is a windier site. Thus, we conclude that these hexagonal arrays of ceramic infrared heaters can be a successful temperature free‐air‐controlled enhancement (T‐FACE) system for warming ecosystem field plots.

Phylogenetic and physiological diversity of dissimilatory ferric iron reducers in sediments of the polluted Scheldt estuary, Northwest Europe - Bin Lin; Christelle Hyacinthe; Steeve Bonneville; Martin Braster; Philippe Van Cappellen; Wilfred F. M. Röling (Environmental Microbiology, 2007)
Summary The potential for dissimilatory ferric iron [Fe(III)] reduction in intertidal sediments of the polluted Scheldt estuary, Northwest Europe, was assessed by combining field‐based geochemical measurements with laboratory experiments on the associated microbiology. Microbial communities at a freshwater and brackish location were characterized by culture‐independent 16S rRNA gene analysis, as well as enrichments, strain isolation and physiological screening. Dilution‐to‐extinction batch enrichments using a variety of Fe(III) sources were performed. The dilution factor of the inoculum in the enrichments had a more determining effect on the Fe(III)‐reducing microbial community structure than the Fe(III) source. Well‐known Fe(III) reducers, including members of the family Geobacteraceae and the genus Shewanella , constituted only a small fraction (≤ 1%) of the in situ microbial community. Instead, facultative anaerobic Ralstonia and strictly anaerobic, spore‐forming Clostridium species dominated Fe(III) reduction. These species were able to utilize a variety of electron acceptors. This flexibility may help the organisms to survive in the dynamic estuarine environment. The high diversity and abundance of culturable Fe(III) reducers (4.6 × 10 5 and 2.4 × 10 4 cells g −1 sediment at the freshwater and brackish site respectively), plus the high concentrations of chemically reducible solid‐phase Fe(III) at the sites, implied a high potential for dissimilatory Fe(III) reduction in the estuarine sediments. Pore water chemical data further supported in situ dissimilatory Fe(III) reduction.

Modeling dynamics of stable carbon isotopic exchange between a boreal forest ecosystem and the atmosphere - BAOZHANG CHEN; JING M. CHEN; LIN HUANG; PIETER P. TANS (Global Change Biology, 2006)
Stable isotopes of CO 2 contain unique information on the biological and physical processes that exchange CO 2 between terrestrial ecosystems and the atmosphere. In this study, we developed an integrated modeling system to simulate dynamics of stable carbon isotope of CO 2 , as well as moisture, energy, and momentum, between a boreal forest ecosystem and the atmosphere, as well as their transport/mixing processes through the convective boundary layer (CBL), using remotely sensed surface parameters to characterize the surface heterogeneity. It has the following characteristics: (i) it accounts for the influences of the CBL turbulent mixing and entrainment of the air aloft; (ii) it scales individual leaf‐level photosynthetic discrimination up to the whole canopy (Δ canopy ) through the separation of sunlit and shaded leaf groups; (iii) it has the capacity to examine the detailed interrelationships among plant water‐use efficiency, isotope discrimination, and vapor pressure deficit; and (iv) it has the potential to investigate how an ecosystem discriminates against 13 C at various time and spatial scales. The monthly mean isotopic signatures of ecosystem respiration (i.e. δ 13 C R ) used for isotope flux calculation are retrieved from the nighttime flask data from the intensive campaigns (1998–2000) at 20 m level on Fraserdale tower, and the data from the growing season in 1999 are used for model validation. Both the simulated CO 2 mixing ratio and δ 13 C of CO 2 at the 20 m level agreed with the measurements well in different phases of the growing season. On a diurnal basis, the greatest photosynthetic discrimination at canopy level (i.e. Δ canopy ) occurred early morning and late afternoon with a varying range of 10–26‰. The diurnal variability of Δ canopy was also associated with the phases of growing season and meteorological variables. The annual mean Δ canopy in 1999 was computed to be 19.58‰. The monthly averages of Δ canopy varied between 18.55‰ and 20.84‰ with a seasonal peak during the middle growing season. Because of the strong opposing influences of respired and photosynthetic fluxes on forest air (both CO 2 and 13 CO 2 ) on both the diurnal and seasonal time scales, CO 2 was consistently enriched with the heavier 13 C isotope (less negative δ 13 C) from July to October and depleted during the remaining months, whereas on a diurnal basis, CO 2 was enriched with the heavier 13 C in the late afternoon and depleted in early morning. For the year 1999, the model results reveal that the boreal ecosystem in the vicinity of Fraserdale tower was a small sink with net uptake of 29.07 g 12 C m −2 yr −1 and 0.34 g 13 C m −2 yr −1 .

Enhanced viability of a nervous necrosis virus‐infected stable cell line over‐expressing a fusion product of the zfBcl‐x L and green fluorescent protein genes - S‐P Chen; H‐L Yang; H‐Y Lin; M‐C Chen; J‐L Wu; J‐R Hong (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2006)
Nervous necrosis virus (NNV) infection induces host cell apoptosis by an ill‐understood process. We utilized a fusion between enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) and the zfBcl‐x L gene in GL‐av cells to select for zfBcl‐x L stable cell lines and to assess the effectiveness of the anti‐apoptotic protein Bcl‐x L in circumventing NNV‐induced cell death. Stable EGFP and EGFP‐Bcl‐x L ‐expressing clones were obtained at high purity within 2.5–3 months. In the latter, the EGFP‐Bcl‐x L fusion protein (approximately 58.2 kDa, as ascertained by Western blot) was predominantly targeted to mitochondria. We assayed for apoptosis in red‐spotted grouper NNV Tainan no. 1 (RGNNV TN1)‐infected cells with terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT)‐mediated end labelling (TUNEL) of DNA at different virus doses. NNV infection of NNV Bcl‐x L GL‐av cell line revealed a protective effect, with a decrease in TUNEL‐positive cells of 7%, 8% and 31.8% at 24, 48 and 72 h, respectively. In addition, RGNNV infection of the Bcl‐x L GL‐av cell line revealed a protective effect, with an enhanced viability of 3%, 40% and 73% at 24, 48, and 72 h, respectively. We conclude that NNV‐induced apoptotic cell death can be lessened in transgenic grouper fish cells.

Fisheries of two tropical lagoons in Ghana, West Africa - H. R. Dankwa; J. M. Shenker; J. Lin; P. K. Ofori‐Danson; Y. Ntiamoa‐Baidu (Fisheries Management and Ecology, 2004)
The fisheries of two coastal lagoons, Keta and Songor, were studied as part of Ghana Coastal Wetlands Management Project (GCWMP) aimed at sustainable exploitation of wetland resources. Fish samples were obtained with seine nets and cast net as well as from local fishermen. Water quality parameters (pH, dissolved oxygen, temperature and turbidity) were similar in the two lagoons, except for salinity, which was significantly different ( P Sarotherodon melanotheron Rüppell, and the redchin tilapia, Tilapia guineensis (Bleeker), being the most important commercial fishes in both lagoons. The number of individuals for each species in Songor Lagoon were far more abundant, with densities several orders of magnitude higher than in Keta Lagoon. However, both species were significantly larger ( P S. melanotheron and T. guineensis respectively. Over‐fishing, use of small‐size mesh nets, limited mixing of marine and fresh water were some of the factors limiting fish production in both lagoons.

Carbon sequestration in arid‐land forest - J. M. GRÜNZWEIG; T. LIN; E. ROTENBERG; A. SCHWARTZ; D. YAKIR (Global Change Biology, 2003)
Rising atmospheric CO 2 concentrations may lead to increased water availability because the water use efficiency of photosynthesis (WUE) increases with CO 2 in most plant species. This should allow the extension of afforestation activities into drier regions. Using eddy flux, physiological and inventory measurements we provide the first quantitative information on such potential from a 35‐year old afforestation system of Aleppo pine ( Pinus halepensis Mill.) at the edge of the Negev desert. This 2800 ha arid‐land forest contains 6.5 ± 1.2 kg C m −2 , and continues to accumulate 0.13–0.24 kg C m −2 yr −1 . The CO 2 uptake is highest during the winter, out of phase with most northern hemispheric forest activity. This seasonal offset offers low latitude forests ∼10 ppm higher CO 2 concentrations than that available to higher latitude forests during the productive season, in addition to the 30% increase in mean atmospheric CO 2 concentrations since the 1850s. Expanding afforestation efforts into drier regions may be significant for C sequestration and associated benefits (restoration of degraded land, reducing runoff, erosion and soil compaction, improving wildlife) because of the large spatial scale of the regions potentially involved (ca. 2 × 10 9 ha of global shrub‐land and C4 grassland). Quantitative information on forest activities under dry conditions may also become relevant to regions predicted to undergo increasing aridity.

Stratification and seasonal stability of diverse bacterial communities in a Pinus merkusii (pine) forest soil in central Java, Indonesia - Agna S. Krave; Bin Lin; Martin Braster; Anniet M. Laverman; Nico M. van Straalen; Wilfred F. M. Röling; Henk W. van Verseveld (Environmental Microbiology, 2002)
Summary In Java, Indonesia, many nutrient‐poor soils are intensively reforested with Pinus merkusii (pine). Information on nutrient cycles and microorganisms involved in these cycles will benefit the management of these important forests. Here, seasonal effects on the stratification of bacterial community structure in the soil profile of a tropical pine forest are described, and differences in bacterial communities are related to chemical and physical soil parameters. Culture‐independent community profiles of litter, fragmented litter and mineral soil layers were made by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) of 16S rDNA‐specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) fragments. The community profiles of the different soil layers clustered separately, correlating with significant differences in organic matter content between the three layers. The bacterial communities appeared to be stable during the wet season of 1998. The drought in 1997, caused by the El Niño climatic effect, did not influence the bacterial communities in fragmentation and mineral soil, although moisture content and other soil parameters were markedly lower than in the wet season. However, communities in litter were influenced by drought. In the litter layer, the moisture content was significantly lower than in the fragmentation and mineral layers during the dry season. A clone library was made from a litter sample taken during the wet season. Partial sequencing of 74 clones and linking the DGGE banding positions of these clones to bands in the DGGE profile of the sample from which the clone library was derived showed considerable bacterial diversity. Alpha‐proteobacteria (40.5% of the clones, of which 57% belonged to the Rhizobium–Agrobacterium group) and high‐G+C content, Gram‐positive bacteria (36.5%) dominated the clone library.

Elevated atmospheric CO 2 alters wood production, wood quality and wood strength of Scots pine ( Pinus sylvestris L) after three years of enrichment - R. Ceulemans; M. E. Jach; R. Van De Velde; J. X. Lin; M. Stevens (Global Change Biology, 2002)
Scots pine ( Pinus sylvestris L.) trees were grown in open top chambers for three years under ambient and elevated CO 2 concentrations. The trees were aged 3 y at the beginning of the CO 2 exposure, and the effects of the treatment on total stem volume, stem wood biomass, wood quality and wood anatomy were examined at the end of the exposure. The elevated CO 2 treatment lead to a 49% and 38% increase in stem biomass and stem wood volume, respectively. However, no significant effects of the elevated CO 2 treatment on wood density were observed, neither when green wood density was estimated from stem biomass and stem volume, nor when oven‐dry wood density was measured on small wood samples. Under elevated CO 2 significantly wider growth rings were observed. The effect of elevated CO 2 on growth ring width was primarily the result of an increase in earlywood width. Wood compression strength decreased under elevated CO 2 conditions, which could be explained by significantly larger tracheids and the increased earlywood band, that has thinner walls and larger cavities. A significant decrease of the number of resin canals in the third growth ring was observed under the elevated treatment; this might indicate that trees produced and contained less resin, which has implications for disease and pest resistance. So, although wood volume yield in Scots pine increased significantly with elevated CO 2 after three years of treatment, wood density remained unchanged, while wood strength decreased. Whilst wood volume and stem biomass production may increase in this major boreal forest tree species, wood quality and resin production might decrease under future elevated CO 2 conditions.
