Autophagy plays a double-edged sword role in liver diseases - Jing-chao Zhou; Jing-lin Wang; Hao-zhen Ren; Xiao-lei Shi (Journal of Physiology and Biochemistry, 2022)
As a highly evolutionarily conserved process, autophagy can be found in all types of eukaryotic cells. Such a constitutive process maintains cellular homeostasis in a wide variety of cell types through the encapsulation of damaged proteins or organelles into double-membrane vesicles. Autophagy not only simply eliminates materials but also serves as a dynamic recycling system that produces new building blocks and energy for cellular renovation and homeostasis. Previous studies have primarily recognized the role of autophagy in the degradation of dysfunctional proteins and unwanted organelles. However, there are findings of autophagy in physiological and pathological processes. In hepatocytes, autophagy is not only essential for homeostatic functions but also implicated in some diseases, such as viral hepatitis, alcoholic hepatitis, and hepatic failure. In the present review, we summarized the molecular mechanisms of autophagy and its role in several liver diseases and put forward several new strategies for the treatment of liver disease.

Neuroimaging technique is a powerful tool to characterize the abnormality of brain networks in schizophrenia. However, the neurophysiological substrate of schizophrenia is still unclear. Here we investigated the patterns of brain functional and structural changes in female patients with schizophrenia using elastic net logistic regression analysis of resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging data. Data from 52 participants (25 female schizophrenia patients and 27 healthy controls) were obtained. Using an elastic net penalty, the brain regions most relevant to schizophrenia pathology were defined in the models using the amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations (ALFF) and gray matter, respectively. The receiver operating characteristic analysis showed reliable classification accuracy with 85.7% in ALFF analysis, and 77.1% in gray matter analysis. Notably, our results showed eight common regions between the ALFF and gray matter analyses, including the Frontal-Inf-Orb-R, Rolandic-Oper-R, Olfactory-R, Angular-L, Precuneus-L, Precuenus-R, Heschl-L, and Temporal-Pole-Mid-R. In addition, the severity of symptoms was found positively associated with the ALFF within the Rolandic-Oper-R and Frontal-Inf-Orb-R. Our findings indicated that elastic net logistic regression could be a useful tool to identify the characteristics of schizophrenia -related brain deterioration, which provides novel insights into schizophrenia diagnosis and prediction.

Measuring Heterogeneity in 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography Images for Classifying Metastatic and Benign Bone Lesions in Patients with Cervical Cancer - Feng-Yuan Liu; Gigin Lin; Jing-Ren Tseng; Angel Chao; Huei-Jean Huang; Hung-Hsueh Chou; Yu-Chen Chang; Tzu-Chen Yen; Chyong-Huey Lai (Journal of Medical and Biological Engineering, 2021)
Purpose Heterogeneity assessment can be applied for medical imaging analysis. Here, we evaluated first-order and texture analysis (TA) metrics in 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose ( 18 F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) imaging for classification of metastatic and benign bone lesions in patients with cervical cancer. Methods The data of 18 F-FDG PET studies performed on a specific PET/CT system from 2016 to 2018 in patients with cervical cancer were retrieved. The data of bone lesions extracted from studies over 2016–2017 and 2018 were used as training and validation datasets, respectively. Metastatic bone lesions were identified in each dataset, with an equal number of benign bone lesions selected. Cuboid volume of interest (VOI) consisting of 3 × 3 × 5 reconstructed voxels was applied for first-order metrics, and cubic VOI consisting of smaller voxels with trilinear interpolation of standardized uptake value (SUV) was adopted for TA metrics. First-order metrics included the maximum SUV (SUVmax) of lesions and the mean voxel SUV and its standard deviation (SUVsd), skewness, and kurtosis in VOI. In total, 4464 TA metrics based on 62 texture features were evaluated. Logistic regression was used for classification with area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) as the performance measure. Results From the training and validation datasets, 98 and 42 metastatic bone lesions were identified, respectively. SUVsd demonstrated higher performance than did SUVmax in both the training (AUC .798 vs .732, P = .001) and validation (AUC .786 vs .684, P < .001) datasets. Top-performing TA metrics demonstrated significantly higher performance in the training dataset, but not in the validation dataset. Conclusion A simple first-order measure of heterogeneity, SUVsd, was found to be superior to SUVmax for the classification of metastatic and benign bone lesions. Multiple hypothesis testing can result in false-positive findings in TA with multiple features and parameters; careful validation is required.

Molecular Characterization and Expression of the LAP3 Gene and Its Association with Growth Traits in the Blood Clam Tegillarca granosa - Hanhan Yao; Fuzhen Ren; Yongbo Bao; Yinghui Dong; Zhihua Lin (Fishes, 2021)
Leucine aminopeptidase 3 (LAP3) is a metallopeptidase that cleaves N-terminal residues and is involved in protein maturation and degradation. In this study, we characterized the leucine aminopeptidase 3 (LAP3) gene from Tegillarca granosa (Tg-LAP3 for short), which appeared to consist of 15,731 nucleotides encoding 530 amino acids. We identified 12 introns and 13 exons in the Tg-LAP3 gene, suggesting a highly conserved genomic structure. The proximal promoter sequence consists of 1922 bps with a typical TATA box structure, which is the general structural characteristic of core promoters in eukaryotes. We found two functional domains in the Tg-LAP3 protein, including an N-terminal domain (41–174aa) and a peptidase_M17 catalytic domain (209–522aa). Multiple alignment showed that Tg-LAP3 shares 73.4% identity with LAP3 of Mizuhopecten yessoensis and 55.2–70.7% identity with LAP3 of other species. Quantitative analysis of Tg-LAP3 in embryos/larvae and adult tissues indicated that the highest expression occurred in eyebot larva, with limited expression in other stages; among tissues, the highest expression was found in the liver (p G, g.-1123C > T, and g.-1304C > A) in the proximal promoter were successfully typed, but there was no significant difference in growth traits (body weight, shell length, shell width, and shell height) among these genotypes. The results of our study demonstrate the functional roles of the Tg-LAP3 gene and provide valuable information for molecular marker-assisted selection (MAS) of the blood clam.

Chronic Exposure to Hypoxia Inhibits Myelinogenesis and Causes Motor Coordination Deficits in Adult Mice - Lin Chen; Shu-Yu Ren; Rui-Xue Li; Kun Liu; Jing-Fei Chen; Yu-Jian Yang; Yong-Bin Deng; Han-Zhi Wang; Lan Xiao; Feng Mei; Fei Wang (Neuroscience Bulletin, 2021)
Exposure to chronic hypoxia is considered to be a risk factor for deficits in brain function in adults, but the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. Since active myelinogenesis persists in the adult central nervous system, here we aimed to investigate the impact of chronic hypoxia on myelination and the related functional consequences in adult mice. Using a transgenic approach to label newly-generated myelin sheaths ( NG2-CreER TM ; Tau-mGFP ), we found that myelinogenesis was highly active in most brain regions, such as the motor cortex and corpus callosum. After exposure to hypoxia (10% oxygen) 12 h per day for 4 weeks, myelinogenesis was largely inhibited in the 4-month old brain and the mice displayed motor coordination deficits revealed by the beam-walking test. To determine the relationship between the inhibited myelination and functional impairment, we induced oligodendroglia-specific deletion of the transcription factor Olig2 by tamoxifen ( NG2-CreER TM ; Tau-mGFP; Olig2 fl/fl ) in adult mice to mimic the decreased myelinogenesis caused by hypoxia. The deletion of Olig2 inhibited myelinogenesis and consequently impaired motor coordination, suggesting that myelinogenesis is required for motor function in adult mice. To understand whether enhancing myelination could protect brain functions against hypoxia, we treated hypoxic mice with the myelination-enhancing drug-clemastine, which resulted in enhanced myelogenesis and improved motor coordination. Taken together, our data indicate that chronic hypoxia inhibits myelinogenesis and causes functional deficits in the brain and that enhancing myelinogenesis protects brain functions against hypoxia-related deficits.

Ethylene‐regulated leaf lifespan explains divergent responses of plant productivity to warming among three hydrologically different growing seasons - Haiyan Ren; Guodong Han; Mai‐He Li; Cuiping Gao; Lin Jiang (Global Change Biology, 2021)
Leaf senescence is known to be regulated by the plant hormone ethylene, but how leaf lifespan responds to global environmental change and links to ecosystem‐level responses remains largely unexplored. Here we investigated the effects of climate warming and nitrogen addition on plant functional traits, plant hormone ethylene and net primary production in a 13‐year field experiment in a desert steppe. Across the last 3 years of the experiment (2016–2018), plant productivity increased under warming only in 2016, when there was above normal precipitation, but consistently increased with nitrogen addition. Warming enhanced net photosynthesis, leaf nitrogen and ethylene production and reduced leaf lifespan in 2016 (a wet year), but not in 2017 (a drought year); the effect of warming in 2018 (a year with normal precipitation) was opposite to 2016, likely due to the below‐normal precipitation in the mid‐growing season in 2018. Nitrogen addition led to increases in leaf nitrogen, ethylene production and net photosynthesis, and declines in leaf lifespan in 2016 and 2018, but not in 2017. The ethylene‐regulated lifespan was further evidenced by the addition of CoCl 2 (an ethylene biosynthesis inhibitor) that reduced ethylene production and prolonged lifespan. Structural equation modeling showed that leaf lifespan had a negative effect on plant productivity, both directly and indirectly via its negative effect on net photosynthesis, across all 3 years. Our results demonstrate the divergent responses of leaf lifespan and, in turn, plant productivity to warming under inter‐annual and intra‐annual precipitation variation, thus linking plant hormone production, functional traits and ecosystem functioning in the face of global environmental change.

Dicer Deletion in Astrocytes Inhibits Oligodendroglial Differentiation and Myelination - Kun Liu; Bin Yu; Jing-Fei Chen; Rui-Xue Li; Lin Chen; Shu-Yu Ren; Fei Wang; Feng Mei; Lan Xiao (Neuroscience Bulletin, 2021)
Increasing evidence has shown that astrocytes are implicated in regulating oligodendrocyte myelination, but the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. To understand whether microRNAs in astrocytes function in regulating oligodendroglial differentiation and myelination in the developing and adult CNS, we generated inducible astrocyte-specific Dicer conditional knockout mice (hGFAP-CreERT; Dicer fl/fl). By using a reporter mouse line (mT/mG), we confirmed that hGFAP-CreERT drives an efficient and astrocyte-specific recombination in the developing CNS, upon tamoxifen treatment from postnatal day 3 (P3) to P7. The Dicer deletion in astrocytes resulted in inhibited oligodendroglial differentiation and myelination in the developing CNS of Dicer cKO mice at P10 and P14, and did not alter the densities of neurons or axons, indicating that Dicer in astrocytes is required for oligodendrocyte myelination. Consequently, the Dicer deletion in astrocytes at P3 resulted in impaired spatial memory and motor coordination at the age of 9 weeks. To understand whether Dicer in astrocytes is also required for remyelination, we induced Dicer deletion in 3-month-old mice and then injected lysolecithin into the corpus callosum to induce demyelination. The Dicer deletion in astrocytes blocked remyelination in the corpus callosum 14 days after induced demyelination. Together, our results indicate that Dicer in astrocytes is required for oligodendroglia myelination in both the developing and adult CNS.

Doxorubicin metabolism moderately attributes to putative toxicity in prodigiosin/doxorubicin synergism in vitro cells - Shian-Ren Lin; Chun-Shu Lin; Ching-Cheng Chen; Feng-Jen Tseng; Tsung-Jui Wu; Lebin Weng; Ching-Feng Weng (Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry, 2020)
Doxorubicin (Dox) is a widely neoplasm chemotherapeutic drug with high incidences of cardiotoxicity. Prodigiosin (PG), a red bacterial pigment from Serratia marcescens , has been demonstrated to potentiate Dox’s cytotoxicity against oral squamous cell carcinoma cells through elevating Dox influx and identified as a Dox enhancer via PG-induced autophagy; however, toxicity of normal cell remains unclear. This study is conducted to evaluate putative cytotoxicity features of PG/Dox synergism in the liver, kidney, and heart cells and further elucidate whether PG augmented Dox’s effect via modulating Dox metabolism in normal cells. Murine hepatocytes FL83B, cardio-myoblast h9c2, and human kidney epithelial cells HK-2 were sequentially treated with PG and Dox by measuring cell viability, cell death characteristics, oxidative stress, Dox flux, and Dox metabolism. PG could slightly significant increase Dox cytotoxicity in all tested normal cells whose toxic alteration was less than that of oral squamous carcinoma cells. The augmentation of Dox cytotoxicity might be attributed to the increase of Dox-mediated ROS accumulation that might cause slight reduction of Dox influx and reduction of Dox metabolism. It was noteworthy to notice that sustained cytotoxicity appeared in normal cells after PG and Dox were removed. Taken together, moderately metabolic reduction of Dox might be ascribed to the mechanism of increase Dox cytotoxicity in PG-induced normal cells; nevertheless, the determination of PG/Dox dose with sustained cytotoxicity in normal cells needs to be comprehensively considered.

Estimation of surface energy fluxes in the permafrost region of the Tibetan Plateau based on in situ measurements and the surface energy balance system model - Jimin Yao; Lianglei Gu; Cheng Yang; Hao Chen; Jiemin Wang; Yongjian Ding; Ren Li; Lin Zhao; Yao Xiao; Yongping Qiao; Jianzong Shi; Caiping Chen (International Journal of Climatology, 2020)
The surface energy balance is a key issue in land surface process research and important for studies of climate and hydrology. In this paper, the surface energy fluxes (net radiation, ground heat flux, sensible heat flux and latent heat flux) at the Tanggula (TGL) and Xidatan (XDT) sites were measured and the distributions of the regional surface energy fluxes on the Tibetan Plateau were obtained using a revised surface energy balance system (SEBS) model. The results show that the surface energy fluxes have obvious seasonal variations. At both sites, the sensible heat flux is highest in spring and lowest in summer, and the latent heat flux is highest in summer and lowest in winter. The high elevation, snow cover, freeze–thaw process, precipitation, vegetation and soil texture are important influencing factors for land surface energy fluxes. The time‐phase difference between the net radiation and ground heat flux for bare soils is estimated to be 2–3 hr. The ratio of ground heat flux and net radiation ranged from approximately 0.18 to 0.33, and a parameterization scheme for the remote sensing of ground heat flux over the Tibetan Plateau bare soil in summer is developed. The simulation results of the regional surface energy fluxes show that the distributions of surface parameters, such as vegetation, soil texture and soil moisture content, are important for understanding regional changes in the surface energy fluxes.

Perilipin LDP1 coordinates lipid droplets formation and utilization for appressorium‐mediated infection in Magnaporthe oryzae - Xuan Cai; Jingjing Yan; Caiyun Liu; Junjie Xing; Zhiyong Ren; Ahmed Hendy; Lu Zheng; Junbin Huang; Xiao‐Lin Chen (Environmental Microbiology, 2020)
Summary Lipid droplets (LDs) serve as one of the major reservoirs in conidia of Magnaporthe oryzae and are quickly utilized during appressorium formation. Here, we identified a gene, LDP1 , encoding a perilipin that is important for LD formation and utilization during appressorium maturation. LDP1 is highly expressed in conidium and immature appressorium. Disruption mutants of LDP1 were significantly reduced in virulence, due to appressorial turgor reduction and difficulty in penetration. LDs were significantly reduced in the Δ ldp1 mutant, indicating LDP1 was required for LDs formation. LDP1 was colocalized with the LDs in conidium and immature appressorium but was gradually separated during appressorium maturation. A typical intracellular triacylglycerol lipase, TGL1‐2, was clearly separated with LDs in conidium and immature appressorium but was well colocalized with LDs during appressorium maturation. The subcellular localization of TGL1‐2 was affected by LDP1. These data suggested that LDP1 was bound to LDs for protecting from utilization in conidia and at the early appressorium stage but was separated from LDs for lipase entering and degradation. LDP1 was phosphorylated by CPKA at Thr96, which was essential for its localization and functions. These data indicate perilipin LDP1 can coordinate LD formation and utilization for appressorium‐mediated infection of M . oryzae .

Improving prediction of two ENSO types using a multi-model ensemble based on stepwise pattern projection model - Lin Wang; Hong-Li Ren; Jieshun Zhu; Bohua Huang (Climate Dynamics, 2020)
This study focuses on improving prediction of the two types of ENSO by combining multi-model ensemble (MME) with a statistical error correction method that is based on a stepwise pattern projection and applied to all models before doing the MME. We evaluate such a combinational approach using five dynamical model datasets from the North American Multi-model Ensemble (NMME) project for the period of 1982–2010. The prediction skills of the proposed MME show an improvement over most tropical Pacific regions. With regard to the two ENSO types, improvements in prediction skills of the proposed MME are particularly evident for the Niño indices for short lead time. The differences between the Eastern Pacific and Central Pacific ENSO types are more pronounced in the corrected forecasts compared with the uncorrected ones. The zonal center position of sea surface temperature anomalies for the corrected MME is closer to the observed than that for the uncorrected MME. The results indicate that reducing prediction errors of each model member by a good correction method before applying the MME method can provide an effective way for empirically improving forecasts of the two ENSO types.

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.

Plants alter their vertical root distribution rather than biomass allocation in response to changing precipitation - Bingwei Zhang; Marc W. Cadotte; Shiping Chen; Xingru Tan; Cuihai You; Tingting Ren; Minling Chen; Shanshan Wang; Weijing Li; Chengjin Chu; Lin Jiang; Yongfei Bai; et al. (Ecology, 2019)
Elucidating the variation of allocation pattern of ecosystem net primary productivity ( NPP ) and its underlying mechanisms is critically important for understanding the changes of aboveground and belowground ecosystem functions. Under optimal partitioning theory, plants should allocate more NPP to the organ that acquires the most limiting resource, and this expectation has been widely used to explain and predict NPP allocation under changing precipitation. However, confirmatory evidence for this theory has mostly come from observed spatial variation in the relationship between precipitation and NPP allocation across ecosystems, rather than directly from the influences of changing precipitation on NPP allocation within systems. We performed a 6‐yr five‐level precipitation manipulation experiment in a semiarid steppe to test whether changes in NPP allocation can be explained by the optimal partitioning theory, and how water requirement of plant community is maintained if NPP allocation is unaltered. The 30 precipitation levels (5 levels × 6 yr) were divided into dry, nominal, and wet precipitation ranges, relative to historical precipitation variation over the past six decades. We found that NPP in both aboveground ( ANPP ) and belowground ( BNPP ) increased nonlinearly as precipitation increased, while the allocation of NPP to BNPP ( f BNPP ) showed a concave quadratic relationship with precipitation. The declined f BNPP as precipitation increased in the dry range supported the optimal partitioning theory. However, in the nominal range, NPP allocation was not influenced by the changed precipitation; instead, BNPP was distributed more in the surface soil horizon (0–10 cm) as precipitation increased, and conversely more in the deeper soil layers (10–30 cm) as precipitation decreased. This response in root foraging appears to be a strategy to satisfy plant water requirements and partially explains the stable NPP allocation patterns. Overall, our results suggest that plants can adjust their vertical BNPP distribution in response to drought stress, and that only under extreme drought does the optimal partitioning theory strictly apply, highlighting the context dependency of the adaption and growth of plants under changing precipitation.

Dynamic expressions of hypothalamic genes regulate seasonal breeding in a natural rodent population - Dawei Wang; Ning Li; Lin Tian; Fei Ren; Zhengguang Li; Yan Chen; Lan Liu; Xiangfa Hu; Xuechang Zhang; Ying Song; Roelof A. Hut; Xiao‐Hui Liu (Molecular Ecology, 2019)
Seasonal breeding is a universal reproductive strategy in many animals. Hypothalamic genes, especially type 2 and 3 iodothyronine deiodinases ( Dio2 / 3 ), RFamide‐related peptide 3 ( Rfrp‐3 ), kisspeptin ( Kiss‐1 ) and gonadotropin‐releasing hormone ( GnRH ), are involved in a photoperiodic pathway that encodes seasonal signals from day length in many vertebrate species. However, the seasonal expression patterns of these genes in wild mammals are less studied. Here, we present a four‐year field investigation to reveal seasonal rhythm and age‐dependent reproductive activity in male Brandt's voles ( Lasiopodomys brandtii ) and to detect relationships among seasonal expression profiles of hypothalamic genes, testicular activity, age and annual day length. From breeding season (April) to nonbreeding season (October), adult male voles displayed a synchronous peak in gonadal activity with annual day length around summer solstice, which was jointly caused by age structure shifts and age‐dependent gonadal development patterns. Overwintered males maintained reproductive activity until late in the breeding season, whereas most newborn males terminated gonadal development completely, except for a minority of males born early in spring. Consistently, the synchronous and opposite expression profiles of Dio2/3 suggest their central function to decode photoperiodic signals and to predict the onset of the nonbreeding season. Moreover, changes in Dio2/3 signals may guide the actions of Kiss‐1 and Rfrp‐3 to regulate the age‐dependent divergence of reproductive strategy in wild Brandt's vole. Our results provide evidence on how hypothalamic photoperiod genes regulate seasonal breeding in a natural rodent population.

Environment‐ and trait‐mediated scaling of tree occupancy in forests worldwide - Haibao Ren; Petr Keil; Xiangcheng Mi; Keping Ma; Zhanqing Hao; Wanhui Ye; Luxiang Lin; Renato Valencia; Christine Dawn Fletcher; Duncan W. Thomas; Robert W. Howe; James Lutz; et al. (Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2019)
Aim The relationship between the proportion of sites occupied by a species and the area of a site [occupancy–area relationship (OAR)] offers key information for biodiversity management and has long fascinated ecologists. We quantified the variation in OAR for 3,157 woody species in 17 forest plots worldwide and tested the relative importance of environment and species traits for explaining this variation and evaluated overall model predictive ability. Location Global. Time period Early 21st century. Major taxa studied Woody plants. Methods We used mixed‐effect regression to examine the observed shape of the OAR (its “slope”) against species‐specific and plot‐wide predictors: coarse‐grain occupancy, tree size, plot species richness, energy availability and topographic complexity. Results We found large variation in OAR slopes, and the variation was strongest among species within plots. The OAR slopes showed a latitudinal trend and were steeper near the equator. As predicted, coarse‐grain occupancy and tree size negatively affected OAR slopes, whereas species richness had a positive effect and explained most of the variance between plots. Although hypothesized directionalities were broadly confirmed, traits and environment had relatively limited overall predictive power. Main conclusions These results document the variation of the OAR for 3,157 species at near‐global extent. We found a latitudinal gradient in OAR slopes and confirmed key hypothesized predictors. But at this global extent and over the large set of species analysed, the remaining unexplained variation in OAR slopes was substantial. Nevertheless, this large‐scale empirical analysis of the OAR offers an initial step towards a more general use of OARs for the fine‐scale prediction of species distributions and abundance.

Underestimated ecosystem carbon turnover time and sequestration under the steady state assumption: A perspective from long‐term data assimilation - Rong Ge; Honglin He; Xiaoli Ren; Li Zhang; Guirui Yu; T. Luke Smallman; Tao Zhou; Shi‐Yong Yu; Yiqi Luo; Zongqiang Xie; Silong Wang; Huimin Wang; et al. (Global Change Biology, 2019)
It is critical to accurately estimate carbon (C) turnover time as it dominates the uncertainty in ecosystem C sinks and their response to future climate change. In the absence of direct observations of ecosystem C losses, C turnover times are commonly estimated under the steady state assumption ( SSA ), which has been applied across a large range of temporal and spatial scales including many at which the validity of the assumption is likely to be violated. However, the errors associated with improperly applying SSA to estimate C turnover time and its covariance with climate as well as ecosystem C sequestrations have yet to be fully quantified. Here, we developed a novel model‐data fusion framework and systematically analyzed the SSA ‐induced biases using time‐series data collected from 10 permanent forest plots in the eastern China monsoon region. The results showed that (a) the SSA significantly underestimated mean turnover times ( MTT s) by 29%, thereby leading to a 4.83‐fold underestimation of the net ecosystem productivity ( NEP ) in these forest ecosystems, a major C sink globally; (b) the SSA ‐induced bias in MTT and NEP correlates negatively with forest age, which provides a significant caveat for applying the SSA to young‐aged ecosystems; and (c) the sensitivity of MTT to temperature and precipitation was 22% and 42% lower, respectively, under the SSA . Thus, under the expected climate change, spatiotemporal changes in MTT are likely to be underestimated, thereby resulting in large errors in the variability of predicted global NEP . With the development of observation technology and the accumulation of spatiotemporal data, we suggest estimating MTT s at the disequilibrium state via long‐term data assimilation, thereby effectively reducing the uncertainty in ecosystem C sequestration estimations and providing a better understanding of regional or global C cycle dynamics and C‐climate feedback.

Direct and indirect effects of climate on richness drive the latitudinal diversity gradient in forest trees - Chengjin Chu; James A. Lutz; Kamil Král; Tomáš Vrška; Xue Yin; Jonathan A. Myers; Iveren Abiem; Alfonso Alonso; Norm Bourg; David F.R.P. Burslem; Min Cao; Hazel Chapman; et al. (Ecology Letters, 2019)
Climate is widely recognised as an important determinant of the latitudinal diversity gradient. However, most existing studies make no distinction between direct and indirect effects of climate, which substantially hinders our understanding of how climate constrains biodiversity globally. Using data from 35 large forest plots, we test hypothesised relationships amongst climate, topography, forest structural attributes (stem abundance, tree size variation and stand basal area) and tree species richness to better understand drivers of latitudinal tree diversity patterns. Climate influences tree richness both directly, with more species in warm, moist, aseasonal climates and indirectly, with more species at higher stem abundance. These results imply direct limitation of species diversity by climatic stress and more rapid (co‐)evolution and narrower niche partitioning in warm climates. They also support the idea that increased numbers of individuals associated with high primary productivity are partitioned to support a greater number of species.
