Microplastics pollution has been threatening the global environmental security, in which agricultural activities are considered as a main source of microplastics occurrence in soils. However, little is known about the occurrence characteristics of microplastics in agricultural soils with long-term plastic film mulching. Therefore, the abundance, distribution, and composition of microplastics were investigated by analyzing 225 soil samples collected from typical maize ( Zea mays L.) planting zones with and without long-term (>20 years) plastic film mulching in northern China. Microplastics abundance in mulched soils (754 ± 477 items kg –1 ) was significantly higher than that in non-mulched soils (376 ± 149 items kg –1 ), which indicated that plastic film mulching contributed half of microplastics in soils. Moreover, microplastics abundance was significantly positively related to the length of time with film mulching applied. The percentage of microplastics <0.5 mm in mulched soils (50.9%) was significantly lower than that in non-mulched soils (62.2%). Microplastics abundance and size in mulched and non-mulched soils decreased with increased soil depth. Most microplastics were fragments of polypropylene, films of polyethylene, and fibers of polyester. The proportion of films in mulched soils was significantly higher than in non-mulched soils, whereas that of fibers was significantly higher in non-mulched soils. This study confirmed that long-term plastic film mulching increases microplastics pollution in agricultural soils, warranting further evaluation of the associated ecological risks of microplastics in soil ecosystems.

Physical and Numerical Investigations on Wave Run-Up and Dissipation under Breakwater with Fence Revetment - Enjin Zhao; Lin Mu; Zhaoyang Hu; Xinqiang Wang; Junkai Sun; Zhiyong Zhang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
Revetment elements and protective facilities on a breakwater can effectively weaken the impact of waves. In order to resist storm surges, there is a plan to build a breakwater on the northern shore of Meizhou Bay in Putian City, China. To better design it, considering different environmental conditions, physical and numerical experiments were carried out to accurately study the effects of the breakwater and its auxiliary structures on wave propagation. In the experiments, the influence of the wave type, initial water depth, and the structure of the fence plate are considered. The wave run-up and dissipation, the wave overtopping volume, and the structure stability are analyzed. The results indicate that the breakwater can effectively resist the wave impact, reduce the wave run-up and overtopping, and protect the rear buildings. In addition, under the same still water depth and significant wave height, the amount of overtopped water under regular waves is larger than that under irregular waves. With the increase of the still water depth and significant wave height, the overtopped water increases, which means that when the storm surge occurs, damage on the breakwater under the high tide level is greater than that under the low tide level. Besides, the fence plate can effectively dissipate energy and reduce the overtopping volume by generating eddy current in the cavity. Considering the stability and the energy dissipation capacity of the fence plate, it is suggested that a gap ratio of 50% is reasonable.

Metabolic Changes in Scylla paramamosain During Adaptation to an Acute Decrease in Salinity - Hongzhi Yao; Xing Li; Yuhao Chen; Guoling Liang; Gao Gao; Huan Wang; Chunlin Wang; Changkao Mu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
The mud crab Scylla paramamosain is an important euryhaline mariculture species. However, acute decreases in salinity seriously impact its survival and can result in large production losses. In this study, we evaluated metabolic changes in S. paramamosain exposed to an acute salinity reduction from 23 psu to 3 psu. After the salinity decrease, hemolymph osmolality declined from 726.75 to 642.38 mOsm/kg H 2 O, which was close to the physiological equilibrium state. Activities of osmolality regulation-related enzymes in the gills, including Na + -K + -ATPase, CA, and V-ATPase all increased. Using LC-MS analysis, we identified 519 metabolites (mainly lipids). Additionally, 13 significant metabolic pathways ( P < 0.05) were identified via enrichment analysis, which were mainly related to signal pathways, lipids, and transportation. Our correlation analysis, which combined LC-MS and previous GC-MS data, yielded 28 significant metabolic pathways. Amino acids and energy metabolism accounted for most of these pathways, and lipid metabolism pathways were insignificant. Our results showed that amino acids and energy metabolism were the dominant factors involved in the adaptation of S. paramamosain to acute salinity decrease, and lipid metabolites played a supporting role.

Survival and Metabolic Modulation of Swimming Crab Portunus trituberculatus During Live Transport - Ce Shi; Yangfang Ye; Feng Pei; Changkao Mu; Chunlin Wang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Demand from consumers for small quantities of live swimming crab Portunus trituberculatus is rising with the development of e-commerce. However, it is challenging to keep P. trituberculatus alive post-capture. In this study, a transport bag containing oxygen and seawater (24 ppt) was used to investigate the survival and metabolic changes of P. trituberculatus during transport. The results showed that more than 80% P. trituberculatus could survive at least 24 h in the transport bag. The ability of the crabs to survive may be attributed to adaptive metabolism, as suggested by the switch from an aerobic to an anaerobic pathway for energy generation and a decline in amino acid metabolism, nucleic acid metabolism, and osmoregulation. Our findings suggest that the transport bag could effectively extend the post-capture survival time of P. trituberculatus . Metabolic adaptation – especially energy homeostasis – is crucial for crab survival during transport. Our study provides a promising method for the transport of live P. trituberculatus .

Responses of soil N 2 O emissions and their abiotic and biotic drivers to altered rainfall regimes and co‐occurring wet N deposition in a semi‐arid grassland - Yujie Shi; Junfeng Wang; Yunna Ao; Jiayu Han; Zhihan Guo; Xinyuan Liu; Jinwei Zhang; Chunsheng Mu; Xavier Le Roux (Global Change Biology, 2021)
Global change factors such as changed rainfall regimes and nitrogen (N) deposition contribute to increases in the emission of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N 2 O) from the soil. In previous research, N deposition has often been simulated by using a single or a series of N addition events over the course of a year, but wet N deposition actually co‐occurs with rainfall. How soil N 2 O emissions respond to altered rainfall amount and frequency, wet N deposition, and their interactions is still not fully understood. We designed a three‐factor, fully factorial experiment with factors of rainfall amounts (ambient, −30%) rainfall frequency (ambient, ±50%) and wet N deposition (with/without) co‐occurring with rainfall in semi‐arid grassland mesocosms, and measured N 2 O emissions and their possible biotic and abiotic drivers. Across all treatments, reduced rainfall amount and N deposition increased soil N 2 O emissions by 35% and 28%, respectively. A significant interactive effect was observed between rainfall amount and N deposition, and to a lesser extent between rainfall frequency and N deposition. Without N deposition, reduced rainfall amount and altered rainfall frequency indirectly affected soil N 2 O emissions by changing the abundance of nirK and soil net N mineralization, and the changes in nirK abundance were indirectly driven by soil N availability rather than directly by soil moisture. With N deposition, both the abundance of nirK and the level of soil water‐filled pore space contributed to changes in N 2 O emissions in response to altered rainfall regimes, and the changes in the abundance of nirK were indirectly driven by plant N uptake and nitrifier (ammonia‐oxidizing bacteria) abundance. Our results imply that unlike wetter grassland ecosystems, reduced precipitation may increase N 2 O emissions, and N deposition may only slightly increase N 2 O emissions in arid and semi‐arid N‐limited ecosystems that are dominated by grasses with high soil N uptake capacity.

Double-Loop Sliding Mode Controller with An Ocean Current Observer for the Trajectory Tracking of ROV - Weilei Mu; Yuxue Wang; Hailiang Sun; Guijie Liu (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
To solve the trajectory tracking problem of insufficient response and the large tracking error of remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) under the interference of large ocean currents, this paper proposes a double-loop sliding mode controller with an ocean current observer. The designed controller consisted of an outer-loop controller (the position controller) and an inner-loop controller (the velocity controller): the outer controller was designed by the position error, and a reference velocity was created for the inner loop to achieve accurate positioning and attitude tracking. The reference control input was treated as a new target to design the inner-loop controller, enabling the ROV to achieve accurate reference velocity tracking. Based on the theoretical idea of active disturbance rejection control, a kinematic equation-based ocean current observer was designed to estimate and compensate for large unknown currents to ensure accurate trajectory tracking performance under large currents. The simulation results proved that the double-loop sliding-mode control scheme with an ocean current observer always showed good tracking performance, demonstrating the excellent control performance and high robustness of the scheme. Compared with the high-complexity control schemes such as neural network-based PID control or fuzzy sliding mode control, it effectively improves the robustness to ocean current disturbances without increasing the computational effort excessively, and is more practical in ROV systems with limited computational power.

Diversity, Composition, and Activities of Nano- and Pico-Eukaryotes in the Northern South China Sea With Influences of Kuroshio Intrusion - Feipeng Wang; Bangqin Huang; Yuyuan Xie; Shujie Cai; Xiuxiu Wang; Jingli Mu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Nano- and pico-eukaryotes play important roles in the diversity and functions of marine ecosystems. Warm, saline, and nutrient-depleted water that originates in the Kuroshio Current seasonally intrudes into the northern South China Sea (NSCS) from autumn to spring. To clarify the mechanisms in shaping the community structure of nano- and pico-eukaryotes as well as impacts of the Kuroshio intrusion on the NSCS ecosystem, genomic DNA and RNA were co-extracted from samples collected at two depths from nine stations, and then the V9 region of 18S rDNA and rRNA was sequenced with high-throughput sequencing. Our results showed that Dinophyceae was the most diverse and abundant nanoeukaryotic group during the study period revealed by both DNA and RNA surveys. In contrast, the relative read abundance of MAST, Pelagophyceae, and Dinophyceae in the size fraction of picoeukaryotes might be largely underestimated by the DNA survey. The RNA survey was the more reliable method to investigate the eukaryotic community structure. Environmental filtering played an important role in shaping the community structure, and the sampling depth became the governing factor of the beta diversity under the environmental setting of stratification during the study period. The spatial variations in the diversity of nanoeukaryotes were subject to the dispersal limitation under the size rule. The effects of the Kuroshio intrusion on the nanoeukaryotic community structure might also be explained by the dispersal limitation. Overall, neutral processes are critical in shaping the community structure of nanoeukaryotes. The relative metabolic activities of nanoeukaryotes were relatively stable in accordance with the high similarity of community structure between sampling sites. The responses of the relative metabolic activities of picoeukaryotes to environmental factors displayed two distinct patterns: positive correlations with salinity and nutrients and negative with temperature for Dinophyceae, MAST, and Pelagophyceae, while reversed patterns for Mamiellophyceae and Radiolaria. Our findings improve the understanding of the nano- and pico-eukaryotic communities in the NSCS and the mechanisms of their assembly.

Edwardsiella piscicida ( E. piscicida ) is an important fish pathogen. However, the mechanism of Glu6P transport regulatory protein UhpA how to affect the virulence gene expression in E. piscicida is still unclear. The results in this study showed that the metabolism‐related gene expression of cysteine synthase (orf 1134) and sulphate transporter ( ych M) in the uhp A mutant strain Δ uhpA was 0.76‐fold and 0.68‐fold lower than the ones in the wild strains ( p uhp A strain was 0.80‐fold and 0.72‐fold lower than the ones in the wild strains ( p fliC and flgN in the Δ uhpA was 1.51‐fold and 1.21‐fold higher than the ones in the wild strains ( p esrB and esrC ) and T6SS ( evpB and evpC ) in the Δ uhpA was 1.27‐fold, 1.13‐fold, 1.28‐fold and 1.23‐fold higher than the ones in the wild strains ( p uhp A gene could regulate the key virulence gene expression, and the uhp A gene was associated with the pathogenicity of E. piscicida in fish.

Genome-wide identification and expression analysis of the Brassica oleracea L. chitin-binding genes and response to pathogens infections - Mingzhao Zhu; Shujin Lu; Mu Zhuang; Yangyong Zhang; Honghao Lv; Jialei Ji; Xilin Hou; Zhiyuan Fang; Yong Wang; Limei Yang (Planta, 2021)
Main conclusion Chitinase family genes were involved in the response of Brassica oleracea to Fusarium wilt, powdery mildew, black spot and downy mildew. Abstract Abstract Chitinase, a category of pathogenesis-related proteins, is believed to play an important role in defending against external stress in plants. However, a comprehensive analysis of the chitin-binding gene family has not been reported to date in cabbage ( Brassica oleracea L.), especially regarding the roles that chitinases play in response to various diseases. In this study, a total of 20 chitinase genes were identified using a genome-wide search method. Phylogenetic analysis was employed to classify these genes into two groups. The genes were distributed unevenly across six chromosomes in cabbage, and all of them contained few introns (≤ 2). The results of collinear analysis showed that the cabbage genome contained 1–5 copies of each chitinase gene (excluding Bol035470 ) identified in Arabidopsis . The heatmap of the chitinase gene family showed that these genes were expressed in various tissues and organs. Two genes ( Bol023322 and Bol041024 ) were relatively highly expressed in all of the investigated tissues under normal conditions, exhibiting the expression characteristics of housekeeping genes. In addition, under four different stresses, namely, Fusarium wilt, powdery mildew, black spot and downy mildew, we detected 9, 5, 8 and 8 genes with different expression levels in different treatments, respectively. Our results may help to elucidate the roles played by chitinases in the responses of host plants to various diseases.

Responses of the East Asian summer monsoon to aerosol forcing in CMIP5 models: The role of upper‐tropospheric temperature change - Junyu Mu; Zhili Wang (International Journal of Climatology, 2021)
We quantitatively distinguish the fast and slow responses of the East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) to aerosol forcing using the outputs from 16 Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) models. The mechanism of the EASM change due to aerosol forcing is then evaluated from the perspective of upper‐tropospheric temperature change. The results show that aerosol forcing leads to the weakening of the EASM circulation and decreases in precipitation. The aerosol‐induced fast atmospheric response dominates the weakening of EASM and the decreased precipitation over the eastern China. In the fast response, upper‐tropospheric cooling in the mid‐latitudes of East Asia during summer changes the circulation structure, thereby causing the weakening of the EASM. The formation of upper‐tropospheric cooling is closely related to the eastward propagation of atmospheric cooling caused by aerosol forcing in Europe and the resulting change in local meridional heat transport. The slow ocean‐mediated response to aerosol forcing partially offsets the weakening of the EASM over the eastern China in the fast response. In the slow response, southwesterly wind is enhanced and precipitation is increased over the eastern China, while southwesterly wind is weakened over the northwestern Pacific and the South China Sea, which dominates the decrease in precipitation over the oceans. The aerosol‐induced changes of land–sea thermal contrasts further confirm that the decrease of upper‐tropospheric land–sea thermal contrasts over East Asia in the fast response plays a key role in driving the weakening of the EASM.

Contrasting the Pb (II) and Cd (II) tolerance of Enterobacter sp. via its cellular stress responses - Zhongquan Jiang; Liu Jiang; Lin Zhang; Mu Su; Da Tian; Tong Wang; Yalin Sun; Ying Nong; Shuijin Hu; Shimei Wang; Zhen Li (Environmental Microbiology, 2020)
Summary Successful application of microorganisms to heavy metal remediation depends on their resistance to toxic metals. This study contrasted the differences of tolerant mechanisms between Pb 2+ and Cd 2+ in Enterobacter sp. Microbial respiration and production of formic acid showed that Enterobacter sp. had a higher tolerant concentration of Pb (>1000 mg l −1 ) than Cd (about 200 mg l −1 ). Additionally, SEM confirmed that most of Pb and Cd nanoparticles (NPs) were adsorbed onto cell membrane. The Cd stress, even at low concentration (50 mg l −1 ), significantly enlarged the sizes of cells. The cellular size raised from 0.4 × 1.0 to 0.9 × 1.6 μm on average, inducing a platelet‐like shape. In contrast, Pb cations did not stimulate such enlargement even up to 1000 mg l −1 . Moreover, Cd NPs were adsorbed homogeneously by almost all the bacterial cells under TEM. However, only a few cells work as ‘hot spots’ on the sorption of Pb NPs. The heterogeneous sorption might result from a ‘self‐sacrifice’ mechanism, i.e., some cells at a special life stage contributed mostly to Pb sorption. This mechanism, together with the lower mobility of Pb cations, caused higher microbial tolerance and removal efficiency towards Pb 2+ . This study sheds evident contrasts of bacterial resistance to the two most common heavy metals.

EFFECT OF A ROOT‐ZONE INJECTION IRRIGATION METHOD ON WATER PRODUCTIVITY AND APPLE PRODUCTION IN A SEMI‐ARID REGION IN NORTH‐WESTERN CHINA - Yan‐Ping Wang; Lin‐Sen Zhang; Yan Mu; Wei‐Hong Liu; Fu‐Xing Guo; Tian‐Ran Chang (Irrigation and Drainage, 2020)
Within the Chinese Loess Plateau, water resources are scarce and irrigation efficiency is a challenging issue. Traditional surface drip irrigation (SDI) methods have failed to improve irrigation efficiency and reduce surface evaporation in the region. An easy‐to‐install and practicable root‐zone injection irrigation (RII) method, with a low risk of emitter clogging and which uses subsurface infiltration‐promoting apparatuses (SIPA) to deliver water directly to the root zone, was designed and tested in an apple orchard over 3 years in northern Shaanxi, China. In the 0–0.6 m soil layer (where the apple roots are concentrated), the RII method produced consistently higher soil water content than the SDI method over all three growing seasons. The soil water content was consistently higher than 60% of field capacity, thus meeting the water requirements of fruit‐bearing apple trees. In addition, the RII method alleviated soil desiccation, significantly increased apple yields and improved fruit quality compared with the SDI method using the same volume of irrigation water. Both irrigation efficiency and water‐use efficiency were improved with the RII method. These results provide a theoretical basis for the utilization of the RII irrigation method in apple orchards in semi‐arid regions, which may improve water conservation and the sustainability of apple production. © 2019 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

High‐quality sea surface temperature measurements along coast of the Bohai and Yellow Seas in China and their long‐term trends during 1960–2012 - Yan Li; Lin Mu; Qingyuan Wang; Guoyu Ren; Qinglong You (International Journal of Climatology, 2020)
As semi‐enclosed and shallow seas, the Bohai and Yellow Seas (hereafter, BYS) marine ecosystems are more easily affected by natural and anthropogenic climate changes than those in the open oceans. An accurate assessment of sea surface temperature (SST) change is crucial for the near‐shore water environment. In this work, new high‐quality monthly mean SST time series from 11 in situ coastal hydrological stations at BYS for the period of 1960–2012 have been generated. Monthly mean SST time series were initially subjected to penalized maximal t (PMT) test, using homogeneous monthly mean surface air temperature (SAT) series as references. Homogenized monthly mean SST series were obtained by adjusting all significant change points which have been supported by historic metadata. Our study shows that there are 29 significant change points in these 11 SST series. The majority of them are caused by instrument changes and station relocations—both account for about 51.7 and 31%, respectively. Then, homogeneous SST series are used to assess the long‐term trends. As the regional average, the annual mean homogeneous SST series shows a rapid warming trend, with the rate of 0.21°C/decade. Compared to the homogeneous SST series, the original SST series underestimate the long‐term trend (only 0.13°C/decade), indicating the artificial change points usually result in a warm‐bias in the early period measurements. Seasonally, the most significant warming occurs in boreal winter during the period analysed. The relationships of the significant warming in boreal winter and atmospheric circulation modes have also been investigated. Results reflect the remarkable and direct influence of the East Asian Trough (EAT) on SST along the coastal BYS.

More realistic land‐use and vegetation parameters in a regional climate model reduce model biases over China - Jiaojiao Gou; Fei Wang; Kai Jin; Xingmin Mu; Deliang Chen (International Journal of Climatology, 2019)
Accurate vegetation cover data are important for realistic simulation of regional climate. The default vegetation parameters from Global Land Cover 2000, currently incorporated into global climate models and used in regional climate model RegCM, are not realistic for China, which may have contributed to serious bias in surface climate simulation. In this study, a new set of vegetation parameters considering the Plant Functional Type (PFT) fractions and the corresponding monthly leaf area index (PFT_LAI), were developed based on the land cover and MODIS LAI data sets. The regional climate model RegCM4.5 coupled with the land surface model CLM4.5 were utilized to test the performance of the new vegetation parameters by comparing simulations with observations using different surface parameters. The surface energy balance was analysed to examine the effects of changed vegetation parameters on regional climate. The results showed that the new parameters were more accurate than the GLC2000 parameters when describing the distribution of crops, grassland, and forests over China. The improved vegetation parameters reduced model biases for winter air temperature and precipitation over southern China by 0.9°C and 8%, respectively, and reduced the winter temperature and summer precipitation biases over northeastern China by approximately 0.7°C and 8%, respectively. More accurate surface albedo are the main reasons for reductions in model bias. However, certain biases, such as the cold and dry bias over the Tibetan Plateau, still remained in the simulation results using our new vegetation data.

A new insight into lead (II) tolerance of environmental fungi based on a study of Aspergillus niger and Penicillium oxalicum - Da Tian; Zhongquan Jiang; Liu Jiang; Mu Su; Zheye Feng; Lin Zhang; Shimei Wang; Zhen Li; Shuijin Hu (Environmental Microbiology, 2019)
Summary Environmental microorganisms have been widely applied in heavy metal remediation. This study explored the mechanisms of lead tolerance of two typical filamentous fungi, Aspergillus niger and Penicillium oxalicum . It is shown that the mechanisms of reducing Pb toxicity by these two fungi have three major pathways. The secreted oxalic acid can react with Pb (II) to form insoluble Pb minerals, primarily lead oxalate. Then, the enhanced biosorption via forming new border of cell wall prevents the transportation of Pb (II) into hypha. In addition, the fungal activity could be maintained even at high Pb concentration due to the intracellular accumulation. It was confirmed that A. niger has the higher Pb tolerance (up to 1500 mg l −1 Pb level) compared with P. oxalicum (up to 1000 mg l −1 ). Meanwhile, Pb levels below 1000 mg l −1 partially stimulate the bioactivity of A. niger , which was confirmed by its elevated respiration (from 53 to 63 mg C l −1 medium h −1 ). This subsequently enhanced microbial functions of A. niger to resist Pb toxicity. A better understanding of Pb tolerance of these two fungi sheds a bright future of applying them to remediate lead‐contaminated environments.

Increased productivity in wet years drives a decline in ecosystem stability with nitrogen additions in arid grasslands - Junfeng Wang; Johannes M. H. Knops; Chad E. Brassil; Chunsheng Mu (Ecology, 2017)
Adding nutrients to nutrient‐limited ecosystems typically lowers plant diversity and decreases species asynchrony. Both, in turn, decrease the stability of productivity in the response to negative climate fluctuations such as droughts. However, most classic studies examining stability have been done in relatively wet grasslands dominated by perennial grasses. We examined how nutrient additions influence the stability of productivity to rainfall variability in an arid grassland with a mix of perennial and annual species. Of the nutrients, only nitrogen increased productivity, and only in wet years. In addition, only nitrogen decreased the stability of productivity. Thus, nutrient addition makes ecosystem productivity less stable in both wet and arid grasslands. However, the mechanism is very different. In contrast to wet grasslands, adding nitrogen to an arid grassland did not decrease diversity. Rather, stability decreased with nitrogen addition due to an increase in annual species that increased productivity. In other words, in our arid grassland, nitrogen addition decreased ecosystem stability because of increased ecosystem responsiveness to positive climate fluctuations. These climate fluctuations were facilitated by annual species that take advantage of wet years and can escape dry years as seeds. Our data support the conclusion that nutrient additions decrease the stability of productivity in both wet and arid grasslands. Nutrient enrichment increases the sensitivity of productivity to low rainfall years in wet grasslands, whereas nutrient enrichment in arid grasslands increases the sensitivity of productivity to high rainfall years.
