Aim We sought to understand how the individual and combined effects of multiple environmental change drivers differentially influence terrestrial nitrogen (N) concentrations and N pools and whether the interactive effects of these drivers are mainly antagonistic, synergistic or additive. Location Worldwide. Time period Contemporary. Major taxa studied Plants, soil, and soil microbes in terrestrial ecosystems. Methods We synthesized data from manipulative field studies from 758 published articles to estimate the individual, combined and interactive effects of key environmental change drivers (elevated CO 2 , warming, N addition, phosphorus addition, increased rainfall and drought) on plant, soil, and soil microbe N concentrations and pools using meta‐analyses. We assessed the influences of moderator variables on these effects through structural equation modelling. Results We found that (a) N concentrations and N pools were significantly affected by the individual and combined effects of multiple drivers, with N addition (either alone or in combination with another driver) showing the strongest positive effects; (b) the individual and combined effects of these drivers differed significantly between N concentrations and N pools in plants, but seldom in soils and microbes; (c) additive effects of driver pairs on N concentrations and pools were much more common than synergistic or antagonistic effects across plants, soils and microbes; and (d) environmental and experimental factors were important moderators of the individual, combined and interactive effects of these drivers on terrestrial N. Main conclusions Our results indicate that terrestrial N concentrations and N pools, especially those of plants, can be significantly affected by the individual and combined effects of environmental change drivers, with the interactive effects of these drivers being mostly additive. Our findings are important because they contribute to the development of models to better predict how altered N availability affects ecosystem carbon cycling under future environmental changes.

Global soil nitrous oxide emissions since the preindustrial era estimated by an ensemble of terrestrial biosphere models: Magnitude, attribution, and uncertainty - Hanqin Tian; Jia Yang; Rongting Xu; Chaoqun Lu; Josep G. Canadell; Eric A. Davidson; Robert B. Jackson; Almut Arneth; Jinfeng Chang; Philippe Ciais; Stefan Gerber; Akihiko Ito; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2019)
Our understanding and quantification of global soil nitrous oxide (N 2 O) emissions and the underlying processes remain largely uncertain. Here, we assessed the effects of multiple anthropogenic and natural factors, including nitrogen fertilizer (N) application, atmospheric N deposition, manure N application, land cover change, climate change, and rising atmospheric CO 2 concentration, on global soil N 2 O emissions for the period 1861–2016 using a standard simulation protocol with seven process‐based terrestrial biosphere models. Results suggest global soil N 2 O emissions have increased from 6.3 ± 1.1 Tg N 2 O‐N/year in the preindustrial period (the 1860s) to 10.0 ± 2.0 Tg N 2 O‐N/year in the recent decade (2007–2016). Cropland soil emissions increased from 0.3 Tg N 2 O‐N/year to 3.3 Tg N 2 O‐N/year over the same period, accounting for 82% of the total increase. Regionally, China, South Asia, and Southeast Asia underwent rapid increases in cropland N 2 O emissions since the 1970s. However, US cropland N 2 O emissions had been relatively flat in magnitude since the 1980s, and EU cropland N 2 O emissions appear to have decreased by 14%. Soil N 2 O emissions from predominantly natural ecosystems accounted for 67% of the global soil emissions in the recent decade but showed only a relatively small increase of 0.7 ± 0.5 Tg N 2 O‐N/year (11%) since the 1860s. In the recent decade, N fertilizer application, N deposition, manure N application, and climate change contributed 54%, 26%, 15%, and 24%, respectively, to the total increase. Rising atmospheric CO 2 concentration reduced soil N 2 O emissions by 10% through the enhanced plant N uptake, while land cover change played a minor role. Our estimation here does not account for indirect emissions from soils and the directed emissions from excreta of grazing livestock. To address uncertainties in estimating regional and global soil N 2 O emissions, this study recommends several critical strategies for improving the process‐based simulations.

Late Quaternary glaciations in the Cogarbu valley, Bhutanese Himalaya - Xu Peng; Yixin Chen; Gengnian Liu; Beibei Liu; Yingkui Li; Qing Liu; Yesong Han; Weilin Yang; Zhijiu Cui (Journal of Quaternary Science, 2019)
This study investigates the late Quaternary glacial history of the Cogarbu valley on the northern slopes of the Bhutanese Himalaya using 10 Be surface exposure dating. Five major glacial events were constrained based on 28 10 Be exposure ages. The equilibrium line altitude (ELA) of the oldest and most extensive glacial event (M5–M9) is ∼489 m lower than the present, followed by four other events (M4, M3, M2 and M1) with ELA depressions of ∼452, ∼200, ∼76 and ∼42 m, respectively. The exposure ages of the oldest glacial event (M5–M9) are ∼23.4–19.1 ka, corresponding to the global Last Glacial Maximum (gLGM). The second (M4, ∼15.8 ka) and the third oldest events (M3, ∼11.5 ka) coincide with the Heinrich‐1 and Younger Dryas event, respectively. The fourth oldest glacial event (∼1.2–0.82 ka) occurred during the Late Holocene. The latest glacial event (∼0.77–0.53 ka) represents the Little Ice Age glacial advances. These glacial events are broadly synchronous with those from other regions across the monsoon‐influenced Himalaya. All these events occurred during the cold periods, despite relatively dry conditions. It appears that temperature is the major factor driving glacial fluctuations since the gLGM in the Bhutanese Himalaya.

Influences of the North Atlantic Oscillation on extreme temperature during the cold period in China - Xiaowan Liu; Zongxue Xu; Dingzhi Peng; Guocan Wu (International Journal of Climatology, 2019)
Extreme climate shifts were frequently recognized over the Eurasia land, and the atmospheric anomalies have been widely deemed as one of the potential causes for the shifts. In this study, the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) was initially assumed as the primary factor leading to changes in temperature extremes in China during the cold period. Then, influencing modes and mechanisms of the NAO on cold period extreme temperatures were both explored with a time lag estimation and a correlation analysis using a stream function and a zonal index. The results indicated that decadal variations in the NAO were the main cause for changes in wintertime extreme temperatures, especially after the turning point in the late 1990s, when the phase changed from positive to negative and extreme temperatures occurred with a significantly increasing tendency. Rossby waves derived from the west wind near the Mediterranean were also responsible for this phenomenon, and the “upstream effect” and group winds were potential pathways for Rossby wave train functions. These results could be a reference for influence and mechanism exploration between extreme climate and atmospheric circulation factors and could provide a new way of thinking for similar studies in the future.

Srk1 kinase, a SR protein‐specific kinase, is important for sexual reproduction, plant infection and pre‐mRNA processing in Fusarium graminearum - Guanghui Wang; Peng Sun; Ziwen Gong; Lianfeng Gu; Yi Lou; Wenqin Fang; Lianhu Zhang; Li Su; Tao Yang; Baohua Wang; Jie Zhou; Jin‐Rong Xu; et al. (Environmental Microbiology, 2018)
Summary SR protein‐specific kinases (SRPKs) uniquely with a spacer region are important splicing factors from yeast to human. However, little is known about their biological functions in filamentous fungi. Therefore, we characterized a SRPK called SRK1 in wheat scab fungus Fusarium graminearum . Our data showed that Srk1 is required for vegetative growth, sexual reproduction and plant infection, and plays critical roles in pre‐mRNA alternative splicing and gene expression. Remarkably, we found that Srk1 displayed dynamic shuttling between cytoplasm and the nucleus, which is regulated by the divergent spacer domain rather than its kinase activity, suggesting a regulatory mechanism for Srk1. Interestingly, Srk1‐GFP also localized to the septal pores, indicating a possible role of Srk1 unrelated to mRNA processing. Although both K1 and K2 lobes of the kinase domain are essential for Srk1 functions, the K2 but not K1 lobe is responsible for the septal pore localization. Lastly, we established that Srk1 physically interacts with the two SR proteins, FgNpl3 and FgSrp1. Overall, our results indicated that SRK1 regulates fungal development, plant infection and mRNA processing by phosphorylation of other splicing factors including SR proteins, and the spacer domain regulates the functions of Srk1 by modulating its nucleocytoplasmic shuttling.

Transcriptome assembly and expression profiling of the molecular responses to cadmium toxicity in cerebral ganglia of wolf spider Pardosa pseudoannulata (Araneae: Lycosidae) - Huilin Yang; Yuande Peng; Yixue Shi; Jianxiang Tian; Juan Wang; Xianjin Peng; Chunliang Xie; Xiang Xu; Qisheng Song; Zhi Wang; Zhiyue Lv (Ecotoxicology, 2018)
Cadmium (Cd) is a heavy metal that can cause irreversible toxicity to animals, and is an environmental pollutant in farmlands. Spiders are considered to be an excellent model for investigating the impacts of heavy metals on the environment. To date, the changes at the molecular level in the cerebral ganglia of spiders are poorly understood. Cd exposure leads to strong damage in the nervous system, such as apoptosis and necrosis of nerve cells, therefore we conducted a transcriptomic analysis of Pardosa pseudoannulata cerebral ganglia under Cd stress to profile differential gene expression (DGE). We obtained a total of 123,328 assembled unigenes, and 1441 Cd stress-associated DEGs between the Cd-treated and control groups. Expression profile analysis demonstrated that many genes involved in calcium signaling, cGMP—PKG signaling, tyrosine metabolism, phototransduction–fly, melanogenesis and isoquinoline alkaloid biosynthesis were up-regulated under Cd stress, whereas oxidative phosphorylation-related, nervous disease-associated, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease-associated, and ribosomal-associated genes were down-regulated. Here, we provide a comprehensive set of DEGs influenced by Cd stress, and heavy metal stress, and provide new information for elucidating the neurotoxic mechanisms of Cd stress in spiders.

Acidic coal mining lakes (AMLs) are characterized by low pH, low biodiversity, and high concentrations of sulfate and metals. However, to date, knowledge is inadequate on the involvement of the aquatic microbial functions in biogeochemical processes of an AML. Here, we use a natural weakly alkaline lake (WAL) as a reference to investigate the functional gene structure of microbial communities in the aerobic surface waters of an AML by using a metagenomic approach with GeoChip‐based functional gene arrays (GeoChip 5.0). We found significant differences in the compositions of the microbial functional genes between the two lake types. The AML had significantly lower gene diversity than the WAL, and the functional genes detected in the AML were almost a subset of those in the WAL. We also found significant differences in the microbial metabolic potentials between the two lake types. In the AML, the microbial communities had higher functional capacities in phosphorus‐utilization, sulfur oxidation, and metal‐detoxification and had lower metabolic potentials of carbon and nitrogen fixation, and the degradation of starch, hemicellulose, cellulose, chitin, and lignin than those in the WAL. By performing null model and network analyses, we observed stronger deterministic effects of the functional gene assemblages and greater clustering among the co‐occurring functional genes in the AML than those in the WAL. Altogether, we demonstrated contrasting patterns of freshwater microbial metabolic potentials and functional gene interactions between an AML and a WAL, which may advance the understanding of microbial functional response to acidification in freshwater lakes.

Attribution of seasonal leaf area index trends in the northern latitudes with “optimally” integrated ecosystem models - Zaichun Zhu; Shilong Piao; Xu Lian; Ranga B. Myneni; Shushi Peng; Hui Yang (Global Change Biology, 2017)
Significant increases in remotely sensed vegetation indices in the northern latitudes since the 1980s have been detected and attributed at annual and growing season scales. However, we presently lack a systematic understanding of how vegetation responds to asymmetric seasonal environmental changes. In this study, we first investigated trends in the seasonal mean leaf area index ( LAI ) at northern latitudes (north of 30°N) between 1982 and 2009 using three remotely sensed long‐term LAI data sets. The most significant LAI increases occurred in summer (0.009 m 2 m −2 year −1 , p 2 m −2 year −1 , p 2 m −2 year −1 , p CO 2 concentration ( eCO 2 ), climate change, nitrogen deposition, and land cover change to seasonal LAI increases based on factorial simulations from 10 state‐of‐the‐art ecosystem models. Unlike previous studies that used multimodel ensemble mean ( MME ), we used the Bayesian model averaging ( BMA ) to optimize the integration of model ensemble. The optimally integrated ensemble LAI changes are significantly closer to the observed seasonal LAI changes than the traditional MME results. The BMA factorial simulations suggest that eCO 2 provides the greatest contribution to increasing LAI trends in all seasons (0.003–0.007 m 2 m −2 year −1 ), and is the main factor driving asymmetric seasonal LAI trends. Climate change controls the spatial pattern of seasonal LAI trends and dominates the increase in seasonal LAI in the northern high latitudes. The effects of nitrogen deposition and land use change are relatively small in all seasons (around 0.0002 m 2 m −2 year −1 and 0.0001–0.001 m 2 m −2 year −1 , respectively). Our analysis of the seasonal LAI responses to the interactions between seasonal changes in environmental factors offers a new perspective on the response of global vegetation to environmental changes.

The cyclin dependent kinase subunit Cks1 is required for infection‐associated development of the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae - Xiaofeng Yue; Yawei Que; Shuzhen Deng; Lin Xu; Miriam Oses‐Ruiz; Nicholas J. Talbot; Youliang Peng; Zhengyi Wang (Environmental Microbiology, 2017)
Summary Cell cycle regulation is pivotal for proper cell division and cellular differentiation in eukaryotic cells. The central regulators that govern eukaryotic cell cycle progression are cyclin‐dependent kinases (CDKs) and their partners. Here, we report that Magnaporthe oryzae CKS1 encodes a cyclin‐dependent kinase subunit, which plays a significant role in regulation of plant infection. We demonstrate that CKS1 is a functional homolog of CKS1 / SUC1 and can physically interact with the CDK protein Cdc28, and Som1, a downstream regulator of the cyclic AMP‐dependent Protein Kinase A pathway. CKS1 deletion mutants are severely impaired in hyphal growth, sexual reproduction, melanin pigmentation and conidiogenesis. Cks1 mutants are able to form appressoria from hyphal tips, but these are unable to re‐polarize, and rice infection is impaired. CKS1 also affects chitin and glucan synthase activity during cell wall differentiation and fungal hydrophobin function. CKS1 , therefore, encodes a conserved CDK‐binding partner, essential for appressorium‐mediated plant infection by the rice blast fungus.
