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.

Differential responses of canopy nutrients to experimental drought along a natural aridity gradient - Wentao Luo; Xiaoan Zuo; Wang Ma; Chong Xu; Ang Li; Qiang Yu; Alan K. Knapp; Roberto Tognetti; Feike A. Dijkstra; Mai‐He Li; Guodong Han; Zhengwen Wang; et al. (Ecology, 2018)
The allocation and stoichiometry of plant nutrients in leaves reflect fundamental ecosystem processes, biotic interactions, and environmental drivers such as water availability. Climate change will lead to increases in drought severity and frequency, but how canopy nutrients will respond to drought, and how these responses may vary with community composition along aridity gradients is poorly understood. We experimentally addressed this issue by reducing precipitation amounts by 66% during two consecutive growing seasons at three sites located along a natural aridity gradient. This allowed us to assess drought effects on canopy nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) concentrations in arid and semiarid grasslands of northern China. Along the aridity gradient, canopy nutrient concentrations were positively related to aridity, with this pattern was driven primarily by species turnover (i.e., an increase in the relative biomass of N‐ and P‐rich species with increasing aridity). In contrast, drought imposed experimentally increased N but decreased P concentrations in plant canopies. These changes were driven by the combined effects of species turnover and intraspecific variation in leaf nutrient concentrations. In addition, the sensitivity of canopy N and P concentrations to drought varied across the three sites. Canopy nutrient concentrations were less affected by drought at drier than wetter sites, because of the opposing effects of species turnover and intraspecific variation, as well as greater drought tolerance for nutrient‐rich species. These contrasting effects of long‐term aridity vs. short‐term drought on canopy nutrient concentrations, as well as differing sensitivities among sites in the same grassland biome, highlight the challenge of predicting ecosystem responses to future climate change.

Conversion of phosphatidylinositol (PI) to PI4‐phosphate (PI4P) and then to PI(4,5)P 2 is essential for the cytosolic Ca 2+ concentration under heat stress in Ganoderma lucidum - Yong‐Nan Liu; Xiao‐Xiao Lu; Ang Ren; Liang Shi; Jing Zhu; Ai‐Liang Jiang; Han‐Shou Yu; Ming‐Wen Zhao (Environmental Microbiology, 2018)
Summary How cells drive the phospholipid signal response to heat stress (HS) to maintain cellular homeostasis is a fundamental issue in biology, but the regulatory mechanism of this fundamental process is unclear. Previous quantitative analyses of lipids showed that phosphatidylinositol (PI) accumulates after HS in Ganoderma lucidum , implying the inositol phospholipid signal may be associated with HS signal transduction. Here, we found that the PI‐4‐kinase and PI‐4‐phosphate‐5‐kinase activities are activated and that their lipid products PI‐4‐phosphate and PI‐4,5‐bisphosphate are increased under HS. Further experimental results showed that the cytosolic Ca 2+ ([Ca 2+ ] c ) and ganoderic acid (GA) contents induced by HS were decreased when cells were pretreated with Li + , an inhibitor of inositol monophosphatase, and this decrease could be rescued by PI and PI‐4‐phosphate. Furthermore, inhibition of PI‐4‐kinases resulted in a decrease in the Ca 2+ and GA contents under HS that could be rescued by PI‐4‐phosphate but not PI. However, the decrease in the Ca 2+ and GA contents by silencing of PI‐4‐phosphate‐5‐kinase could not be rescued by PI‐4‐phosphate. Taken together, our study reveals the essential role of the step converting PI to PI‐4‐phosphate and then to PI‐4,5‐bisphosphate in [Ca 2+ ] c signalling and GA biosynthesis under HS.

Mitigation of nitrous oxide emissions from acidic soils by Bacillus amyloliquefaciens , a plant growth‐promoting bacterium - Shanghua Wu; Guoqiang Zhuang; Zhihui Bai; Yu Cen; Shengjun Xu; Haishu Sun; Xingguo Han; Xuliang Zhuang (Global Change Biology, 2018)
Nitrous oxide (N 2 O) is a long‐lived greenhouse gas that can result in the alteration of atmospheric chemistry and cause accompanying changes in global climate. To date, many techniques have been used to mitigate the emissions of N 2 O from agricultural fields, which represent one of the most important sources of N 2 O. In this study, we designed a greenhouse pot experiment and a microcosmic serum bottle incubation experiment using acidic soil from a vegetable farm to study the effects of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens ( BA ) on plant growth and N 2 O emission rates. The addition of BA to the soil promoted plant growth enhanced the soil pH and increased the total nitrogen ( TN ) contents in the plants. At the same time, it decreased the concentrations of ammonium ( NH 4 + ), nitrate ( NO 3 − ) and TN in the soil. Overall, the addition of BA resulted in a 50% net reduction of N 2 O emissions compared with the control. Based on quantitative PCR and the network analysis of DNA sequencing, it was demonstrated that BA partially inhibited the nitrification process through the significant reduction of ammonia oxidizing bacteria. Meanwhile, it enhanced the denitrification process, mainly by increasing the abundance of N 2 O‐reducing bacteria in the treatment with BA . The results of our microcosm experiment provided evidence that strongly supported the above findings under more strictly controlled laboratory conditions. Taken together, the results of our study evidently demonstrated that BA has dual effects on the promotion of plant growth and the dramatic reduction of greenhouse emissions, thus suggesting the possibility of screening beneficial microbial organisms from the environment that can promote plant growth and mitigate greenhouse trace gases.

The key gluconeogenic gene PCK1 is crucial for virulence of Botrytis cinerea via initiating its conidial germination and host penetration - Jian‐Kang Liu; Hao‐Wu Chang; Yue Liu; Yu (Haity) Qin; Yu‐Han Ding; Lan Wang; Yue Zhao; Ming‐Zhe Zhang; Sheng‐Nan Cao; Le‐Tao Li; Wei Liu; Gui‐Hua Li; et al. (Environmental Microbiology, 2018)
Summary The process of initiation of host invasion and survival of some foliar phytopathogenic fungi in the absence of external nutrients on host leaf surfaces remains obscure. Here, we demonstrate that gluconeogenesis plays an important role in the process and nutrient‐starvation adaptation before the pathogen host invasion. Deletion of phosphoenolpyruvate c arboxy k inase gene BcPCK1 in gluconeogenesis in Botrytis cinerea , the causative agent of grey mould, resulted in the failure of the Δ Bcpck1 mutant conidia to germinate on hard and hydrophobic surface and penetrate host cells in the absence of glucose, reduction in conidiation and slow conidium germination in a nutrient‐rich medium. The wild‐type and Δ Bcpck1 conidia germinate similarly in the presence of glucose (higher concentration) as the sole carbon source. Conidial glucose‐content should reach a threshold level to initiate germination and host penetration. Infection structure formation by the mutants displayed a glucose‐dependent fashion, which corresponded to the mutant virulence reduction. Exogenous glucose or complementation of BcPCK1 completely rescued all the developmental and virulence defects of the mutants. Our findings demonstrate that BcPCK1 plays a crucial role in B. cinerea pathogenic growth and virulence, and provide new insights into gluconeogenesis mediating pathogenesis of plant fungal pathogens via initiation of conidial germination and host penetration.

Temporal changes in soil C‐N‐P stoichiometry over the past 60 years across subtropical China - Zaipeng Yu; Minhuang Wang; Zhiqun Huang; Teng‐Chiu Lin; Matthew A. Vadeboncoeur; Eric B. Searle; Han Y. H. Chen (Global Change Biology, 2018)
Controlled experiments have shown that global changes decouple the biogeochemical cycles of carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P), resulting in shifting stoichiometry that lies at the core of ecosystem functioning. However, the response of soil stoichiometry to global changes in natural ecosystems with different soil depths, vegetation types, and climate gradients remains poorly understood. Based on 2,736 observations along soil profiles of 0–150 cm depth from 1955 to 2016, we evaluated the temporal changes in soil C‐N‐P stoichiometry across subtropical China, where soils are P‐impoverished, with diverse vegetation, soil, and parent material types and a wide range of climate gradients. We found a significant overall increase in soil total C concentration and a decrease in soil total P concentration, resulting in increasing soil C:P and N:P ratios during the past 60 years across all soil depths. Although average soil N concentration did not change, soil C:N increased in topsoil while decreasing in deeper soil. The temporal trends in soil C‐N‐P stoichiometry differed among vegetation, soil, parent material types, and spatial climate variations, with significantly increased C:P and N:P ratios for evergreen broadleaf forest and highly weathered Ultisols, and more pronounced temporal changes in soil C:N, N:P, and C:P ratios at low elevations. Our sensitivity analysis suggests that the temporal changes in soil stoichiometry resulted from elevated N deposition, rising atmospheric CO 2 concentration and regional warming. Our findings revealed that the responses of soil C‐N‐P and stoichiometry to long‐term global changes have occurred across the whole soil depth in subtropical China and the magnitudes of the changes in soil stoichiometry are dependent on vegetation types, soil types, and spatial climate variations.

Effects of reduced pH and elevated pCO 2 on sperm motility and fertilisation success in blood clam, Tegillarca granosa - Wei Shi; Xinguo Zhao; Yu Han; Cheng Guo; Saixi Liu; Wenhao Su; Yichen Wang; Shanjie Zha; Xueliang Chai; Wandong Fu; Huicheng Yang; Guangxu Liu (New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, 2017)
Although it has been shown that ocean acidification generally has a negative impact on fertilisation success of broadcast spawning marine organisms, whether induced fertilisation success reduction is a consequence of elevated p CO 2 or decreased pH remains unclear. Therefore, the impacts of HCl‐ and CO 2 ‐induced acidified seawater on sperm motility and gametes fertilisation capability of a broadcast spawning bivalve species, Tegillarca granosa were investigated in the present study. The results showed that the fertilisation capability of both gametes was significantly reduced in either HCl‐ or CO 2 ‐acidified seawater. In addition, significant impacts on sperm motility were observed in the group exposed to CO 2 ‐acidified seawater, suggesting that this parameter is sensitive to p CO 2 instead of solely pH value. The differences between the two seawater acidification manipulating methods may be due to the intrinsic difference in diffusion capability of CO 2 and protons.

Comparative and population genomic landscape of Phellinus noxius : A hypervariable fungus causing root rot in trees - Chia‐Lin Chung; Tracy J.

The order Hymenochaetales of white rot fungi contain some of the most aggressive wood decayers causing tree deaths around the world. Despite their ecological importance and the impact of diseases they cause, little is known about the evolution and transmission patterns of these pathogens. Here, we sequenced and undertook comparative genomic analyses of Hymenochaetales genomes using brown root rot fungus Phellinus noxius , wood‐decomposing fungus Phellinus lamaensis, laminated root rot fungus Phellinus sulphurascens and trunk pathogen Porodaedalea pini . Many gene families of lignin‐degrading enzymes were identified from these fungi, reflecting their ability as white rot fungi. Comparing against distant fungi highlighted the expansion of 1,3‐beta‐glucan synthases in P. noxius , which may account for its fast‐growing attribute. We identified 13 linkage groups conserved within Agaricomycetes, suggesting the evolution of stable karyotypes. We determined that P. noxius has a bipolar heterothallic mating system, with unusual highly expanded ~60 kb A locus as a result of accumulating gene transposition. We investigated the population genomics of 60 P. noxius isolates across multiple islands of the Asia Pacific region. Whole‐genome sequencing showed this multinucleate species contains abundant poly‐allelic single nucleotide polymorphisms with atypical allele frequencies. Different patterns of intra‐isolate polymorphism reflect mono‐/heterokaryotic states which are both prevalent in nature. We have shown two genetically separated lineages with one spanning across many islands despite the geographical barriers. Both populations possess extraordinary genetic diversity and show contrasting evolutionary scenarios. These results provide a framework to further investigate the genetic basis underlying the fitness and virulence of white rot fungi.

Interannual variability of ecosystem carbon exchange: From observation to prediction - Shuli Niu; Zheng Fu; Yiqi Luo; Paul C. Stoy; Trevor F. Keenan; Benjamin Poulter; Leiming Zhang; Shilong Piao; Xuhui Zhou; Han Zheng; Jiayin Han; Qiufeng Wang; et al. (Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2017)
Aim Terrestrial ecosystems have sequestered, on average, the equivalent of 30% of anthropogenic carbon (C) emissions during the past decades, but annual sequestration varies from year to year. For effective C management, it is imperative to develop a predictive understanding of the interannual variability (IAV) of terrestrial net ecosystem C exchange (NEE). Location Global terrestrial ecosystems. Methods We conducted a comprehensive review to examine the IAV of NEE at global, regional and ecosystem scales. Then we outlined a conceptual framework for understanding how anomalies in climate factors impact ecological processes of C cycling and thus influence the IAV of NEE through biogeochemical regulation. Results The phenomenon of IAV in land NEE has been ubiquitously observed at global, regional and ecosystem scales. Global IAV is often attributable to either tropical or semi‐arid regions, or to some combination thereof, which is still under debate. Previous studies focus on identifying climate factors as driving forces of IAV, whereas biological mechanisms underlying the IAV of ecosystem NEE are less clear. We found that climate anomalies affect the IAV of NEE primarily through their differential impacts on ecosystem C uptake and respiration. Moreover, recent studies suggest that the carbon uptake period makes less contribution than the carbon uptake amplitude to IAV in NEE. Although land models incorporate most processes underlying IAV, their efficacy to predict the IAV in NEE remains low. Main conclusions To improve our ability to predict future IAV of the terrestrial C cycle, we have to understand biological mechanisms through which anomalies in climate factors cause the IAV of NEE. Future research needs to pay more attention not only to the differential effects of climate anomalies on photosynthesis and respiration but also to the relative importance of the C uptake period and amplitude in causing the IAV of NEE. Ultimately, we need multiple independent approaches, such as benchmark analysis, data assimilation and time‐series statistics, to integrate data, modelling frameworks and theory to improve our ability to predict future IAV in the terrestrial C cycle.

Phospholipase D and phosphatidic acid mediate heat stress induced secondary metabolism in Ganoderma lucidum - Yong‐Nan Liu; Xiao‐Xiao Lu; Dai Chen; Ya‐Ping Lu; Ang Ren; Liang Shi; Jing Zhu; Ai‐Liang Jiang; Han‐Shou Yu; Ming‐Wen Zhao (Environmental Microbiology, 2017)
Summary Phospholipid‐mediated signal transduction plays a key role in responses to environmental changes, but little is known about the role of phospholipid signalling in microorganisms. Heat stress (HS) is one of the most important environmental factors. Our previous study found that HS could induce the biosynthesis of the secondary metabolites, ganoderic acids (GA). Here, we performed a comprehensive mass spectrometry‐based analysis to investigate HS‐induced lipid remodelling in Ganoderma lucidum . In particular, we observed a significant accumulation of phosphatidic acid (PA) on HS. Further genetic tests in which pld ‐silencing strains were constructed demonstrated that the accumulation of PA is dependent on HS‐activated phospholipase D (PLD) hydrolysing phosphatidylethanolamine. Furthermore, we determined the role of PLD and PA in HS‐induced secondary metabolism in G . lucidum . Exogenous 1‐butanol, which decreased PLD‐mediated formation of PA, reverses the increased GA biosynthesis that was elicited by HS. The pld ‐silenced strains partly blocked HS‐induced GA biosynthesis, and this block can be reversed by adding PA. Taken together, our results suggest that PLD and PA are involved in the regulation of HS‐induced secondary metabolism in G . lucidum . Our findings provide key insights into how microorganisms respond to heat stress and then consequently accumulate secondary metabolites by phospholipid remodelling.

Warming effects on permafrost ecosystem carbon fluxes associated with plant nutrients - Fei Li; Yunfeng Peng; Susan M. Natali; Kelong Chen; Tianfeng Han; Guibiao Yang; Jinzhi Ding; Dianye Zhang; Guanqin Wang; Jun Wang; Jianchun Yu; Futing Liu; et al. (Ecology, 2017)
Large uncertainties exist in carbon (C)‐climate feedback in permafrost regions, partly due to an insufficient understanding of warming effects on nutrient availabilities and their subsequent impacts on vegetation C sequestration. Although a warming climate may promote a substantial release of soil C to the atmosphere, a warming‐induced increase in soil nutrient availability may enhance plant productivity, thus offsetting C loss from microbial respiration. Here, we present evidence that the positive temperature effect on carbon dioxide ( CO 2 ) fluxes may be weakened by reduced plant nitrogen (N) and phosphorous (P) concentrations in a Tibetan permafrost ecosystem. Although experimental warming initially enhanced ecosystem CO 2 uptake, the increased rate disappeared after the period of peak plant growth during the early growing season, even though soil moisture was not a limiting factor in this swamp meadow ecosystem. We observed that warming did not significantly affect soil extractable N or P during the period of peak growth, but decreased both N and P concentrations in the leaves of dominant plant species, likely caused by accelerated plant senescence in the warmed plots. The attenuated warming effect on CO 2 assimilation during the late growing season was associated with lowered leaf N and P concentrations. These findings suggest that warming‐mediated nutrient changes may not always benefit ecosystem C uptake in permafrost regions, making our ability to predict the C balance in these warming‐sensitive ecosystems more challenging than previously thought.

Basidiomycete‐specific PsCaMKL1 encoding a CaMK‐like protein kinase is required for full virulence of Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici - Min Jiao; Dan Yu; Chenglong Tan; Jia Guo; Dingyun Lan; Ershang Han; Tuo Qi; Ralf Thomas Voegele; Zhensheng Kang; Jun Guo (Environmental Microbiology, 2017)
Summary Calcium/calmodulin‐dependent kinases (CaMKs) are Ser/Thr protein kinases (PKs) that respond to changes in cytosolic free Ca 2+ and play diverse roles in eukaryotes. In fungi, CAMKs are generally classified into four families CAMK1, CAMKL, RAD53 and CAMK‐Unique. Among these, CAMKL constitutes the largest family. In some fungal plant pathogens, members of the CaMKL family have been shown to be responsible for pathogenesis. However, little is known about their role(s) in rust fungi. In this study, we functionally characterized a novel PK gene, PsCaMKL1 , from Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici ( Pst ). Ps CaMKL1 belongs to a group of PKs that is evolutionarily specific to basidiomyceteous fungi. Ps CaMKL1 shows little intra‐species polymorphism between Pst isolates. PsCaMKL1 transcripts are highly elevated at early infection stages, whereas gene expression is downregulated in barely germinated urediospores under KN93 treatment. Overexpression of PsCaMKL1 in fission yeast increased resistance to environmental stresses. Knock down of PsCaMKL1 using host‐induced gene silencing (HIGS) reduced the virulence of Pst accompanied by reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation and a hypersensitive response. These results suggest that Ps CaMKL1 is a novel pathogenicity factor that exerts it virulence function by regulating ROS production in wheat.

Change in temperature extremes and its correlation with mean temperature in mainland China from 1960 to 2015 - Shibo Fang; Yue Qi; Weiguo Yu; Hanyue Liang; Guojun Han; Qingxiang Li; Shuanghe Shen; Guangsheng Zhou; Guangxun Shi (International Journal of Climatology, 2017)
Changes in temperature extremes can be linked to mean temperature changes and variability. This study aims to quantify observed trends in mean and extreme temperature values and to analyse the relationship between mean and extreme temperatures in mainland China, based on daily data from 1960 to 2015. This is the first analysis undertaken of the relationship between mean and extreme temperatures in mainland China. Based on the 95th and 99th percentiles of daily T max and the 5th and 1st percentiles of daily T min , warm days ( TX95p ), hot days ( TX99p ), cold nights ( TN05p ), and very cold nights ( TN01p ) were defined. The results showed the following: (1) large increasing tendencies of TX95p and TX99p nearly all occurred in locations where mean temperature had substantially increased, and large decreasing tendencies of TN05p were more probably at locations of warming in mainland China; (2) the rise of mean temperature significantly increased the frequency of TX95p and TX99p , and decreased the frequency of TN05p , which indicates a simple shift of the entire distribution towards a warmer climate and greater potential risk of heat waves in the future. The likelihood of occurrence of TX95p and TX99p increased by about 3 and 1 day, respectively, and the occurrence of TN05p was reduced by about 4 days with a mean temperature increase of 1 °C, but the occurrence of TN01p was hardly affected, indicating increased variability of T min temperatures; and (3) the mean and extreme temperatures increased with the urbanization rate in China, and advanced phenologies and unaffected frequency of very cold nights ( TN01p ) could pose more potential risk of frost and freeze injury to crops in China in the future.
