Comparison of Long-Term Outcomes of Endoscopic and Minimally Invasive Catheter Evacuation for the Treatment of Spontaneous Cerebellar Hemorrhage - Leiyang Li; Haixiao Liu; Jianing Luo; Zhijun Tan; Junmei Gao; Ping Wang; Wenting Jing; Ruixi Fan; Xiaoyang Zhang; Hao Guo; Hao Bai; Wenxing Cui; et al. (Translational Stroke Research, 2021)
Recently, minimally invasive techniques, including endoscopic evacuation and minimally invasive catheter (MIC) evacuation, have been used for the treatment of patients with spontaneous cerebellar hemorrhage (SCH). However, credible evidence is still needed to validate the effects of these techniques. To explore the long-term outcomes of both surgical techniques in the treatment of SCH. Fifty-two patients with SCH who received endoscopic evacuation or MIC evacuation were retrospectively reviewed. Six-month mortality and the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score were the primary and secondary outcomes, respectively. A multivariate logistic regression model was used to assess the effects of the different surgical techniques on patient outcomes. In the present study, the mortality rate for the entire cohort was 34.6%. Univariate analysis showed that the surgical technique and preoperative Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score affected 6-month mortality. However, no variables were found to be correlated with 6-month mRS scores. Further multivariate analysis demonstrated that 6-month mortality in the endoscopic evacuation group was significantly lower than that in the MIC evacuation group (OR = 4.346, 95% CI 1.056 to 17.886). The 6-month mortality rate in the preoperative GCS 9–14 group was significantly lower than that in the GCS 3–8 group (OR = 7.328, 95% CI 1.723 to 31.170). Compared with MIC evacuation, endoscopic evacuation significantly decreased 6-month mortality in SCH patients. These preliminary results warrant further large, prospective, randomized studies.

QTL controlling fiber quality traits under salt stress in upland cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) - An-hui Guo; Ying Su; Yi Huang; Yu-mei Wang; Hu-shuai Nie; Nan Zhao; Jin-ping Hua (Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 2021)
Key message QTL for fiber quality traits under salt stress discerned candidate genes controlling fatty acid metabolism. Abstract Salinity stress seriously affects plant growth and limits agricultural productivity of crop plants. To dissect the genetic basis of response to salinity stress, a recombinant inbred line population was developed to compare fiber quality in upland cotton ( Gossypium hirsutum L.) under salt stress and normal conditions. Based on three datasets of (1) salt stress, (2) normal growth, and (3) the difference value between salt stress and normal conditions, 51, 70, and 53 QTL were mapped, respectively. Three QTL for fiber length (FL) ( qFL-Chr1-1, qFL-Chr5-5, and qFL-Chr24-4) were detected under both salt and normal conditions and explained 4.26%, 9.38%, and 3.87% of average phenotypic variation, respectively. Seven genes within intervals of two stable QTL ( qFL-Chr1-1 and qFL-Chr5-5 ) were highly expressed in lines with extreme long fiber. A total of 35 QTL clusters comprised of 107 QTL were located on 18 chromosomes and exhibited pleiotropic effects. Thereinto, two clusters were responsible for improving five fiber quality traits, and 6 influenced FL and fiber strength (FS). The QTL with positive effect for fiber length exhibited active effects on fatty acid synthesis and elongation, but the ones with negative effect played passive roles on fatty acid degradation under salt stress.

Evaluation of crustal inhomogeneity parameters in the southern Longmenshan fault zone and adjacent regions - Xiao-Ping Fan; Yi-Cheng He; Cong-Jie Yang; Jun-Fei Wang (Journal of Seismology, 2020)
Broadband teleseismic waveform data from 13 earthquakes recorded by 70 digital seismic stations were selected to evaluate the inhomogeneity parameters of the crustal medium in the southern Longmenshan fault zone and its adjacent regions using the teleseismic fluctuation wavefield method. Results show that a strong inhomogeneity exists beneath the study region, which can be divided into three blocks according to its structure and tectonic deformation features. These are known as the Sichuan-Qinghai Block, the Sichuan-Yunnan Block, and the Mid-Sichuan Block. The velocity fluctuation ratios of the three blocks are approximately 5.1%, 3.6%, and 5.1% in the upper crust and 5.1%, 3.8%, and 4.9% in the lower crust. The inhomogeneity correlation lengths of the three blocks are about 10.1 km, 14.0 km, and 10.7 km in the upper crust and 11.8 km, 17.0 km, and 11.8 km in the lower crust. The differences in the crustal medium inhomogeneity beneath the Sichuan-Yunnan Block, the Sichuan-Qinghai Block, and the Mid-Sichuan Block may be related to intensive tectonic movement and material flow in the crust and upper mantle.

Pregabalin-associated stuttering and frequent blepharospasm: case report and review. - Lingzhi Ge; Ang Li; Ni Wang; Ping Li; Hongyan Xin; Wenfei Li (DARU Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2020)
Herpes zoster is an acute, painful, herpes skin disease caused by varicella-zoster virus, which may cause viral meningitis. Pregabalin has been shown to be efficacious in the treatment of pain in patients with herpes zoster. However, it has the side effects of neurotoxicity. We describe a 68-year-old female patient with herpes zoster, and she was treated with pregabalin. The patient presented with stuttering and frequent blepharospasm after 3 days of pregabalin treatment. Pregabalin was discontinued, the symptoms of stuttering and frequent blepharospasm completely resolved without any special treatment after one week. In this case, the etiology of stuttering and frequent blepharospasm may be related to pregabalin. Clinicians should be alert to the rare symptoms associated with the use of pregabalin.

An improved model‐based analogue forecasting for the prediction of the tropical Indo‐Pacific Sea surface temperature in a coupled climate model - Yanfeng Wang; Zhihua Zhang; Ping Huang (International Journal of Climatology, 2020)
Analogue forecasting is a method with a long history in weather and climate prediction. Recently, model‐based analogue forecasting (MAF) was developed and applied in Indo‐Pacific sea surface temperature (SST) with the long‐term (>1,000 years) run of the coupled general circulation model as the prediction library dataset. Here, we use the MAF method for Indo‐Pacific SST prediction with a 1,600‐year uninitialized control run of ICMv2 as the library datasets to select the analogues. In the improved analogue strategy, subsurface thermal conditions are valid predictors besides the surface conditions. The anomaly of SST, subsurface temperature at 5‐ and 105‐m depth as the best‐performing predictors can better simulate the overall thermal conditions of the ocean. In addition, by increasing the length of the model library dataset, the number of selected analogue cases for the ensemble, using root‐mean‐square and pattern correlation combined analogue metric and subtracting the long‐term trend, the improved MAF can produce a skillful SST prediction in the tropical Indian Ocean, southwest and northwest Pacific Ocean across 1‐ to 9‐month lead times. The ACC of the improved MAF prediction in these regions significantly increases by more than 0.18 relatively to the SST‐initialized hindcast of ICMv2 with considerable savings in terms of computational resource.

FgPal1 regulates morphogenesis and pathogenesis in Fusarium graminearum - Jinrong Yin; Chaofeng Hao; Gang Niu; Wei Wang; Guanghui Wang; Ping Xiang; Jin‐Rong Xu; Xue Zhang (Environmental Microbiology, 2020)
Summary Ascospores are the primary inoculum in Fusarium graminearum , a causal agent of wheat head blight. In a previous study, FgPAL1 was found to be upregulated in the Fgama1 mutant and important for ascosporogenesis. However, the biological function of this well‐conserved gene in filamentous ascomycetes is not clear. In this study, we characterized its functions in growth, differentiation and pathogenesis. The Fgpal1 mutant had severe growth defects and often displayed abnormal hyphal tips. It was defective in infectious growth in rachis tissues and spreading in wheat heads. The Fgpal1 mutant produced conidia with fewer septa and more nuclei per compartment than the wild type. In actively growing hyphal tips, FgPal1‐GFP mainly localized to the subapical collar and septa. The FgPal1 and LifeAct partially co‐localized at the subapical region in an interdependent manner. The Fgpal1 mutant was normal in meiosis with eight nuclei in developing asci but most asci were aborted. Taken together, our results showed that FgPal1 plays a role in maintaining polarized tip growth and coordination between nuclear division and cytokinesis, and it is also important for infectious growth and developments of ascospores by the free cell formation process.

Vicissitudes experienced by the oldest urban center in Bangladesh in relation to the migration of the Brahmaputra River - Gang Hu; Ping Wang; Sufi Mostafizur Rahman; Dehong Li; Muhammad Mahbubul Alam; Jiafu Zhang; Zhengyao Jin; Anchuan Fan; Jie Chen; Aimin Zhang; Wenqing Yang (Journal of Quaternary Science, 2020)
Bangladesh is one of the most densely populated countries in the world. There are 57 trans‐frontier rivers in the country, the widest being the Brahmaputra River. The river's channels have frequently changed course, but the relationship between such river migrations and human settlement patterns has remained unstudied. In this paper, optically stimulated luminescence and radiocarbon dating techniques were applied to sedimentary and organic materials in the oldest urban center (Wari‐Bateshwar) in Bangladesh. The results showed that the landscape around the urban center was dominated by floodplain and peatland facies between 7.9–7.6 and 4.7–1.6 ka, respectively. Humans occupied this area at ~3.2 ka, and manufactured delicate semi‐precious gemstone beads between ~2.4 and 1.8 ka. The urban center might be the same as an important city of the Gangaridai described in historical records. Due to fluvial migration at ~1.8 ka, the area surrounding the urban center was covered by fluvial sand. Humans might have been forced to abandon the urban center, leading to the bead processing technology in Bangladesh being lost forever.

Identification of Cyt2Ba from a New Strain of Bacillus thuringiensis and Its Toxicity in Bradysia difformis - Fan-Fan Wang; Shao-Xuan Qu; Jin-Sheng Lin; Hui-Ping Li; Li-Juan Hou; Ning Jiang; Xin Luo; Lin Ma (Current Microbiology, 2020)
Bradysia difformis is one of the most damaging pests in mushroom production in China. In this study, eight Bacillus thuringiensis strains were analyzed for insecticidal activity in B. difformis . The strain JW-1 showed the highest insecticidal activity against B. difformis larvae, but did not inhibit the mycelial growth of Pleurotus ostreatus and P. geesteranus . The 16S rRNA gene (1397 bp) and cyt2 gene (792 bp) were obtained from strain JW-1. The phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA gene and Cyt2 toxin showed that strain JW-1 was a member of B. thuringiensis and Cyt2 toxin belonged to Cyt2Ba toxin cluster. The Cyt2Ba toxin from strain JW-1 was overexpressed in E. coli as a fusion protein and the fusion protein (70 kDa) was purified by Ni-IDA affinity chromatography. The purified Cyt2Ba fusion protein was toxic to B. difformis larvae (LC 50 was 2.25 ng/mL). The identification of Cyt2Ba from strain JW-1 and confirmation of the insecticidal activity of Cyt2Ba in B. difformis provided a new means of biological control of the important pest in mushroom production.

Pathogenic characterization of Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. masoucida turbot isolate from China - Ping Wang; Jie Li; Tian Tian He; Nan Li; Zhao Lan Mo; Pin Nie; Hai Xia Xie (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2020)
Aeromonas salmonicida is a gram‐negative bacterium that is the causative agent of furunculosis. An A. salmonicida strain was isolated from diseased turbot ( Scophthalmus maximus ) with the sign of furunculosis from North China. Based on vapA gene, the strain was further classified as A. salmonicida subsp. masoucida RZ6S‐1. Culturing RZ6S‐1 strain at high temperature (28°C) obtained the virulence attenuated strain RZ6S. Genome sequence comparison between the two strains revealed the loss of the type IV secretion system (T4SS) and type III secretion system (T3SS) from the native plasmid pAsmB‐1 and pAsmC‐1 of wild‐type strain RZ6S‐1, respectively. Further study demonstrated that the wild‐type strain RZ6S‐1, but not its derivative mutant RZ6S, can stimulate apoptosis. Elevated protein level of cleaved caspase‐3 was detected from epithelioma papulosum cyprinid (EPC) cells infected with wild‐type strain RZ6S‐1 as compared with that infected with RZ6S strain. Meanwhile, the invasion of the mutant strain RZ6S was about 17‐fold higher than the wild‐type strain RZ6S‐1, suggesting that some protein(s) from A. salmonicida subsp. masoucida RZ6S‐1 suppress its invasion. The RZ6S mutant strain was attenuated, since its LD 50 is over 10,000 times higher compared to the wild‐type strain as revealed in the turbot infection model.

The response of soil respiration to precipitation change is asymmetric and differs between grasslands and forests - Yue Du; Ying‐Ping Wang; Fanglong Su; Jun Jiang; Chen Wang; Mengxiao Yu; Junhua Yan (Global Change Biology, 2020)
Intensification of the Earth's hydrological cycle amplifies the interannual variability of precipitation, which will significantly impact the terrestrial carbon (C) cycle. However, it is still unknown whether previously observed relationship between soil respiration ( R s ) and precipitation remains applicable under extreme precipitation change. By analyzing the observations from a much larger dataset of field experiments (248 published papers including 151 grassland studies and 97 forest studies) across a wider range of precipitation manipulation than previous studies, we found that the relationship of R s response with precipitation change was highly nonlinear or asymmetric, and differed significantly between grasslands and forests, between moderate and extreme precipitation changes. Response of R s to precipitation change was negatively asymmetric (concave‐down) in grasslands, and double‐asymmetric in forests with a positive asymmetry (concave‐up) under moderate precipitation changes and a negative asymmetry (concave‐down) under extreme precipitation changes. In grasslands, the negative asymmetry in R s response was attributed to the higher sensitivities of soil moisture, microbial and root activities to decreased precipitation (DPPT) than to increased precipitation (IPPT). In forests, the positive asymmetry was predominantly driven by the significant increase in microbial respiration under moderate IPPT, while the negative asymmetry was caused by the reductions in root biomass and respiration under extreme DPPT. The different asymmetric responses of R s between grasslands and forests will greatly improve our ability to forecast the C cycle consequences of increased precipitation variability. Specifically, the negative asymmetry of R s response under extreme precipitation change suggests that the soil C efflux will decrease across grasslands and forests under future precipitation regime with more wet and dry extremes.

Experimental study on incipient shear stress of consolidated cohesive sediment - Caiwen Shu; Guangming Tan; Peng Chen; Jun Wang; Ping Lv (Arabian Journal of Geosciences, 2020)
This paper analyzes the incipient motion mechanism of consolidated cohesive sediment. An experimental device based on previous studies was designed to investigate the influencing factors of the incipient shear stress, including the consolidation time, the density of dry bulk, cohesive particles content, and the composition of sediment mixtures. The experimental results indicated that the incipient shear stress of cohesive sediment increased with the increase of consolidation time, dry bulk density, and content of cohesive particles. The incipient motion mechanism of cohesive particles was further investigated using experimental data and theoretical analysis. A formula of the incipient shear stress for cohesive sediment was proposed herein, which is related to both the content of cohesive particles and the relative dry bulk density. The proposed formula was validated by the experimental data, and the calculated values of incipient shear stress using the formula were in good agreement with the experimental results.

Role of delta‐front erosion in sustaining salt marshes under sea‐level rise and fluvial sediment decline - Shi Lun Yang; Xiangxin Luo; Stijn Temmerman; Matthew Kirwan; Tjeerd Bouma; Kehui Xu; Saisai Zhang; Jiqing Fan; Benwei Shi; Haifei Yang; Ya Ping Wang; Xuefa Shi; et al. (Limnology and Oceanography, 2020)
Accelerating sea‐level rise and decreasing riverine sediment supply are widely considered to lead to global losses of deltaic marshes and their valuable ecosystem services. However, little is known about the degree to which the related erosion of the seaward delta front can provide sediments to sustain salt marshes. Here, we present data from the mesomacrotidal Yangtze Delta demonstrating that marshes have continued to accrete vertically and laterally, despite rapid relative sea‐level rise (∼10 mm yr −1 ) and a > 70% decrease in the Yangtze River sediment supply. Marsh progradation has decelerated at a lower rate than fluvial sediment reduction, suggesting an additional source of sediment. We find that under favorable conditions (e.g., a mesomacrotidal range, strong tidal flow, flood dominance, sedimentary settling lag/scour lag effects, and increasing high‐tide level), delta‐front erosion can actually supply sediment to marshes, thereby maintaining marsh accretion rates in balance with relative sea‐level rise. Comparison of global deltas illustrates that the ability of sediment remobilization to sustain marshes depends on coastal processes and varies by more than an order of magnitude among the world's major deltas.

Elevated temperature increases the accumulation of microbial necromass nitrogen in soil via increasing microbial turnover - Xu Wang; Chao Wang; M. Francesca Cotrufo; Lifei Sun; Ping Jiang; Ziping Liu; Edith Bai (Global Change Biology, 2020)
Microbial‐derived nitrogen (N) is now recognized as an important source of soil organic N. However, the mechanisms that govern the production of microbial necromass N, its turnover, and stabilization in soil remain poorly understood. To assess the effects of elevated temperature on bacterial and fungal necromass N production, turnover, and stabilization, we incubated 15 N‐labeled bacterial and fungal necromass under optimum moisture conditions at 10°C, 15°C, and 25°C. We developed a new 15 N tracing model to calculate the production and mineralization rates of necromass N. Our results showed that bacterial and fungal necromass N had similar mineralization rates, despite their contrasting chemistry. Most bacterial and fungal necromass 15 N was recovered in the mineral‐associated organic matter fraction through microbial anabolism, suggesting that mineral association plays an important role in stabilizing necromass N in soil, independently of necromass chemistry. Elevated temperature significantly increased the accumulation of necromass N in soil, due to the relatively higher microbial turnover and production of necromass N with increasing temperature than the increases in microbial necromass N mineralization. In conclusion, we found elevated temperature may increase the contribution of microbial necromass N to mineral‐stabilized soil organic N.

Impacts of climate anomalies on the interannual and interdecadal variability of autumn and winter haze in North China: A review - Jing Wang; Yanju Liu; Yihui Ding; Ping Wu; Zhiwei Zhu; Ying Xu; Qiaoping Li; Yingxian Zhang; Jinhai He; Julian X. L. Wang; Li Qi (International Journal of Climatology, 2020)
From the perspectives of remote sensing and climatic factors like surface meteorological parameters, large‐scale atmospheric circulations, and external forcing factors (EFFs), the authors synthesize and review spatiotemporal variations of PM 2.5 over North China and how climate anomalies affect autumn and winter haze variability in North China according to recent studies. This review focuses on both interannual and interdecadal timescales. It is shown that circulations play an important role in influencing haze variability. Atmospheric circulations, which would be modulated by EFFs like sea surface temperature, sea ice, and snowpack, can affect the climate variability in haze over North China via modulation of surface‐layer parameters that are closely connected with the haze phenomenon. Therefore, EFFs are deemed significant factors impacting the climate variability of haze over North China, serving as paramount precursory signals for haze prediction. Furthermore, this paper suggests potential future research directions for haze variability studies in North China on the basis of summarizing and concluding the associated processes/mechanisms on how climatic factors affect haze variability, which could provide reference for treating and forecasting in situ hazy conditions.

Ecological risk assessment of species impacted by fisheries in waters off eastern Taiwan - Chih‐Yu Lin; Sheng‐Ping Wang; Wei‐Chuan Chiang; Shane Griffiths; Hsin‐Ming Yeh (Fisheries Management and Ecology, 2020)
An ecological risk assessment was undertaken using productivity‐susceptibility analysis (PSA) to determine the relative vulnerability of 52 species caught by fisheries in the waters off eastern Taiwan. Overall, eight and 20 species were classified as having high and moderate vulnerability, respectively, and the remaining 24 species were classified as having low vulnerability. The species with the highest vulnerability scores were caught mainly by longline and gillnet fisheries, highlighting the need for improved data collection to facilitate a more detailed investigation using more quantitative methods. The data quality analysis indicated that the quality of data was classified as “moderate” for economically important species. However, many species were considered data‐limited and thus collecting high‐resolution catch and effort information and conducting biological studies, especially relating to age, growth and reproduction, are recommended to improve the reliability of outputs from data‐limited assessments such as PSA.

Estimation of PM2.5 Mass Concentration from Visibility - Denghui Ji; Zhaoze Deng; Xiaoyu Sun; Liang Ran; Xiangao Xia; Disong Fu; Zijue Song; Pucai Wang; Yunfei Wu; Ping Tian; Mengyu Huang (Advances in Atmospheric Sciences, 2020)
Aerosols in the atmosphere not only degrade visibility, but are also detrimental to human health and transportation. In order to develop a method to estimate PM 2.5 mass concentration from the widely measured visibility, a field campaign was conducted in Southwest China in January 2019. Visibility, ambient relative humidity (RH), PM 2.5 mass concentrations and scattering coefficients of dry particles were measured. During the campaign, two pollution episodes, i.e., from 4–9 January and from 10–16 January, were encountered. Each of the two episodes could be divided into two periods. High aerosol hygroscopicity was found during the first period, when RH was higher than 80% at most of the time, and sometimes even approached 100%. The second period experienced a relatively dry but more polluted condition and aerosol hygroscopicity was lower than that during the first period. An empirical relationship between PM 2.5 mass concentration and visibility (ambient aerosol extinction) under different RH conditions could thus be established. Based on the empirical relationship, PM 2.5 mass concentration could be well estimated from visibility and RH. This method will be useful for remote sensing of PM 2.5 mass concentration.

Rainfall manipulation experiments as simulated by terrestrial biosphere models: Where do we stand? - Athanasios Paschalis; Simone Fatichi; Jakob Zscheischler; Philippe Ciais; Michael Bahn; Lena Boysen; Jinfeng Chang; Martin De Kauwe; Marc Estiarte; Daniel Goll; Paul J. Hanson; Anna B. Harper; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2020)
Changes in rainfall amounts and patterns have been observed and are expected to continue in the near future with potentially significant ecological and societal consequences. Modelling vegetation responses to changes in rainfall is thus crucial to project water and carbon cycles in the future. In this study, we present the results of a new model‐data intercomparison project, where we tested the ability of 10 terrestrial biosphere models to reproduce the observed sensitivity of ecosystem productivity to rainfall changes at 10 sites across the globe, in nine of which, rainfall exclusion and/or irrigation experiments had been performed. The key results are as follows: (a) Inter‐model variation is generally large and model agreement varies with timescales. In severely water‐limited sites, models only agree on the interannual variability of evapotranspiration and to a smaller extent on gross primary productivity. In more mesic sites, model agreement for both water and carbon fluxes is typically higher on fine (daily–monthly) timescales and reduces on longer (seasonal–annual) scales. (b) Models on average overestimate the relationship between ecosystem productivity and mean rainfall amounts across sites (in space) and have a low capacity in reproducing the temporal (interannual) sensitivity of vegetation productivity to annual rainfall at a given site, even though observation uncertainty is comparable to inter‐model variability. (c) Most models reproduced the sign of the observed patterns in productivity changes in rainfall manipulation experiments but had a low capacity in reproducing the observed magnitude of productivity changes. Models better reproduced the observed productivity responses due to rainfall exclusion than addition. (d) All models attribute ecosystem productivity changes to the intensity of vegetation stress and peak leaf area, whereas the impact of the change in growing season length is negligible. The relative contribution of the peak leaf area and vegetation stress intensity was highly variable among models.

Predicting postmortem interval based on microbial community sequences and machine learning algorithms - Ruina Liu; Yuexi Gu; Mingwang Shen; Huan Li; Kai Zhang; Qi Wang; Xin Wei; Haohui Zhang; Di Wu; Kai Yu; Wumin Cai; Gongji Wang; et al. (Environmental Microbiology, 2020)
Summary Microbes play an essential role in the decomposition process but were poorly understood in their succession and behaviour. Previous researches have shown that microbes show predictable behaviour that starts at death and changes during the decomposition process. Research of such behaviour enhances the understanding of decomposition and benefits estimating the postmortem interval (PMI) in forensic investigations, which is critical but faces multiple challenges. In this study, we combined microbial community characterization, microbiome sequencing from different organs (i.e. brain, heart and cecum) and machine learning algorithms [random forest (RF), support vector machine (SVM) and artificial neural network (ANN)] to investigate microbial succession pattern during corpse decomposition and estimate PMI in a mouse corpse system. Microbial communities exhibited significant differences between the death point and advanced decay stages. Enterococcus faecalis , Anaerosalibacter bizertensis , Lactobacillus reuteri , and so forth were identified as the most informative species in the decomposition process. Furthermore, the ANN model combined with the postmortem microbial data set from the cecum, which was the best combination among all candidates, yielded a mean absolute error of 1.5 ± 0.8 h within 24‐h decomposition and 14.5 ± 4.4 h within 15‐day decomposition. This integrated model can serve as a reliable and accurate technology in PMI estimation.

Sayer; Zhou Jia; Weixing Liu; Yuntao Wu; Sen Yang; Chengzhang Wang; Lu Yang; Dima Chen; Yongfei Bai; Lingli Liu (Global Change Biology, 2020)
Global warming has greatly altered winter snowfall patterns, and there is a trend towards increasing winter snow in semi‐arid regions in China. Winter snowfall is an important source of water during early spring in these water‐limited ecosystems, and it can also affect nutrient supply. However, we know little about how changes in winter snowfall will affect ecosystem productivity and plant community structure during the growing season. Here, we conducted a 5‐year winter snow manipulation experiment in a temperate grassland in Inner Mongolia. We measured ecosystem carbon flux from 2014 to 2018 and plant biomass and species composition from 2015 to 2018. We found that soil moisture increased under deepened winter snow in early growing season, particularly in deeper soil layers. Deepened snow increased the net ecosystem exchange of CO 2 (NEE) and reduced intra‐ and inter‐annual variation in NEE. Deepened snow did not affect aboveground plant biomass (AGB) but significantly increased root biomass. This suggested that the enhanced NEE was allocated to the belowground, which improved water acquisition and thus contributed to greater stability in NEE in deep‐snow plots. Interestingly, the AGB of grasses in the control plots declined over time, resulting in a shift towards a forb‐dominated system. Similar declines in grass AGB were also observed at three other locations in the region over the same time frame and are attributed to 4 years of below‐average precipitation during the growing season. By contrast, grass AGB was stabilized under deepened winter snow and plant community composition remained unchanged. Hence, our study demonstrates that increased winter snowfall may stabilize arid grassland systems by reducing resource competition, promoting coexistence between plant functional groups, which ultimately mitigates the impacts of chronic drought during the growing season.

Sensitivities of Bottom Stress Estimation to Sediment Stratification in a Tidal Coastal Bottom Boundary Layer - Yun Peng; Qian Yu; Yunwei Wang; Qingguang Zhu; Ya Ping Wang (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020)
The bottom friction velocity (U*), which controls seabed erosion and deposition, plays a critical role in sediment transport in tidal coastal bottom boundary layers. Approaches have been proposed to calculate U*, including the log profile (LP) estimation, the direct covariance (COV) measurement, and the turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) method. However, the LP method assumes homogeneous flow and the effects of stratification need to be taken into account. Here, field investigations of hydrodynamics and sediment dynamics were carried out on the Jiangsu Coast, China. Two acoustic Doppler velocimeters (ADV) velocity measurements at 0.2 and 1 m above the seabed have been used to estimate U*, based on the aforementioned three methods. The COV and TKE methods provided reasonable estimations of U*, while a pronounced overestimation was identified when using the LP method. This overestimation can be attributed to the stratification effects associated with the vertical suspended sediment concentration (SSC) gradient near the bottom. Then, three models were utilized to correct the overestimation, in which the gradient/flux Richardson number was modified with empirical constants α, β, and A to parameterize the stratification effects in the logarithmic velocity distribution. The values of α, β, and A derived from the observation are smaller than the results from previous investigations. These modified logarithmic velocity distribution models can be applied in numerical simulations when sediment stratification is important.

Animal models of transient ischemic attack: a review - Jiahui Wang; Ping Zhang; Zhouping Tang (Acta Neurologica Belgica, 2020)
Transient ischemic attack (TIA) is defined as a brief episode of neurological dysfunction caused by focal cerebral ischemia. TIA is a critical early warning signal of stroke. Patients with TIA may have long-term cognitive decline. The pathogenesis and pathological changes of TIA have not been fully elucidated. Animal models can simulate the process of human diseases and are essential tools to investigate injury mechanisms and therapeutic approaches of TIA. Most TIA animal models are based on ischemic stroke models and the definition of TIA. Each model has unique strengths and weaknesses. The establishment of a successful and reliable TIA model should follow three criteria: (1) objective evidence of cerebral arteries occlusion and reperfusion, (2) no permanent neurological deficit, and (3) no acute cerebral infarction. However, experimental animal models are impossible to be completely consistent with human TIA, because TIA itself is a heterogeneous disease. In the present review, the selection of animals, methodological development, and evaluation of cerebral blood flow of animal models of TIA are comprehensively evaluated.

Microbial dynamics and soil physicochemical properties explain large‐scale variations in soil organic carbon - Haicheng Zhang; Daniel S. Goll; Ying‐Ping Wang; Philippe Ciais; William R. Wieder; Rose Abramoff; Yuanyuan Huang; Bertrand Guenet; Anne‐Katrin Prescher; Raphael A. Viscarra Rossel; Pierre Barré; Claire Chenu; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2020)
First‐order organic matter decomposition models are used within most Earth System Models (ESMs) to project future global carbon cycling; these models have been criticized for not accurately representing mechanisms of soil organic carbon (SOC) stabilization and SOC response to climate change. New soil biogeochemical models have been developed, but their evaluation is limited to observations from laboratory incubations or few field experiments. Given the global scope of ESMs, a comprehensive evaluation of such models is essential using in situ observations of a wide range of SOC stocks over large spatial scales before their introduction to ESMs. In this study, we collected a set of in situ observations of SOC, litterfall and soil properties from 206 sites covering different forest and soil types in Europe and China. These data were used to calibrate the model MIMICS (The MIcrobial‐MIneral Carbon Stabilization model), which we compared to the widely used first‐order model CENTURY. We show that, compared to CENTURY, MIMICS more accurately estimates forest SOC concentrations and the sensitivities of SOC to variation in soil temperature, clay content and litter input. The ratios of microbial biomass to total SOC predicted by MIMICS agree well with independent observations from globally distributed forest sites. By testing different hypotheses regarding (using alternative process representations) the physicochemical constraints on SOC deprotection and microbial turnover in MIMICS, the errors of simulated SOC concentrations across sites were further decreased. We show that MIMICS can resolve the dominant mechanisms of SOC decomposition and stabilization and that it can be a reliable tool for predictions of terrestrial SOC dynamics under future climate change. It also allows us to evaluate at large scale the rapidly evolving understanding of SOC formation and stabilization based on laboratory and limited filed observation.
