Application of modified clay in intensive mariculture pond: Impacts on nutrients and phytoplankton - Lianbao Chi; Yu Ding; Liyan He; Zaixing Wu; Yongquan Yuan; Xihua Cao; Xiuxian Song; Zhiming Yu (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Nutrients and phytoplankton associated with mariculture development are important concerns globally, as they can significantly impact water quality and aquaculture yield. Currently, there is still insufficient information regarding the variations in nutrients and phytoplankton community of intensive mariculture systems, and effective treatment is lacking. Here, based on consecutive daily monitoring of two Litopenaeus vannamei ponds from July to October, the dynamic variations in nutrients and phytoplankton were elucidated. In addition, modified clay (MC) method was adopted to regulate the nutrients and phytoplankton community. The temporal variations in organic and inorganic nutrients presented fluctuating upward trends. Notably, organic nutrients were the dominant species, with average proportions of TON/P in TN/P were as high as 75.29% and 87.36%, respectively. Furthermore, a marked increase in the ratios of dinoflagellates to diatoms abundance were also observed in the control pond, concurrently with dominant organic nutrients, ascending N/P ratio and decreasing Si/N and Si/P ratios. In the MC-regulated pond, MC reduced the contents of both organic and inorganic nutrients. Furthermore, a distinct change pattern of dominant phytoplankton community occurred, with green algae becoming the most abundant phytoplankton in the MC-regulated pond. This study can provide new insights into an effective treatment for managing water quality and maintaining sustainable mariculture development.

Age, Growth and Population Structure Analyses of the Purpleback Flying Squid Sthenoteuthis oualaniensis in the Northwest Indian Ocean by Beak Microstructure - Hua-Jie Lu; Yu-Zhe Ou; Jing-Ru He; Mao-Lin Zhao; Zi-Yue Chen; Xin-Jun Chen (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
To explore the feasibility of using beak microstructure information to estimate the age of Sthenoteuthis oualaniensis, the microstructures of the upper beaks of individual squid were applied in this work to analyze the ages and growth patterns of squid caught from February–May 2019 and from October–December 2020 in the northwest Indian Ocean. The results indicated that the squid samples in the two years were no older than 9 months, and the samples in 2019 were autumn population and 2020 were spring population. The linear growth model of the autumn population (2019) was the best model for describing the relationship between age and ML, while the power model of the spring population (2020) was the best for describing the relationship between age and ML. The maximum instantaneous growth rate (IGR) and absolute daily growth rate (AGR) values of the spring population were 0.24%/d and 1.09 mm/d, respectively, occurring in squid between 200 and 220 days of age. The maximum IGR and AGR values of the autumn population were 0.69%/d and 1.73 mm/d, respectively, occurring in squid between 200 and 240 days of age. The period from 141–260 days (5–8 months) was considered to correspond to the subadult stage in the whole life history of S. oualaniensis in the Northwest Indian Ocean. The beak microstructure information can be effectively applied to estimate the age of S. oualaniensis individuals.

Aberrant DNA methylation in t(8;21) acute myeloid leukemia - Shujiao He; Jingfeng Zhou; Li Yu (Genome Instability & Disease, 2022)
Aberrant DNA methylation is a hallmark of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Various studies showed that t(8;21) AML presented a distinct DNA methylation profile and could be categorized into a separate cluster according to DNA methylation sequencing. Yet, there is still a lack of understanding regarding the causes and mechanisms of this phenomenon. Knowing how the DNA methylation is regulated in t(8;21) AML would enhance our understanding of leukemogenesis and may assist clinical decision-making regarding DNA methylation-targeted therapy. Herein, we summarized our current knowledge concerning DNA methylation regulation in t(8;21) AML and discussed their potential clinical significance in this article.

Inhibition of visfatin alleviates sepsis-induced intestinal damage by inhibiting Hippo signaling pathway - Zhong-Shen Kuang; Yu-Xin Leng; Ning Yang; Zheng-Qian Li; Ya-Nan Zong; Deng-Yang Han; Yue Li; Jin-Dan He; Xing-Ning Mi; Zhu-Kai Cong; Xi Zhu; Chang-Yi Wu; et al. (Inflammation Research, 2022)
Background The aim of this study is to investigate role of Visfatin, one of the pro-inflammatory adipokines, in sepsis-induced intestinal injury and to clarify the potential mechanism. Methods C57BL/6 mice underwent cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) surgery to establish sepsis model in vivo. Intestinal epithelial cells were stimulated with LPS to mimic sepsis-induced intestinal injury in vitro. FK866 (the inhibitor of Visfatin) with or without XMU-MP-1 (the inhibitor of Hippo signaling) was applied for treatment. The expression levels of Visfatin, NF-κB and Hippo signaling pathways-related proteins were detected by western blot or immunohistochemistry. The intestinal cell apoptosis and intestinal injury were investigated by TUNEL staining and H&E staining, respectively. ELISA was used to determine the production of inflammatory cytokines. Results The expression of Visfatin increased in CLP mice. FK866 reduced intestinal pathological injury, inflammatory cytokines production, and intestinal cell apoptosis in sepsis mice. Meanwhile, FK866 affected NF-κB and Hippo signaling pathways. Additionally, the effects of FK866 on inflammatory response, apoptosis, Hippo signaling and NF-κB signaling were partly abolished by XMU-MP-1, the inhibitor of Hippo signaling. In vitro experiments also revealed that FK866 exhibited a protective role against LPS-induced inflammatory response and apoptosis in intestinal cells, as well as regulating NF-κB and Hippo signaling, whereas addition of XMU-MP-1 weakened the protective effects of FK866. Conclusion In short, this study demonstrated that inhibition of Visfatin might alleviate sepsis-induced intestinal injury through Hippo signaling pathway, supporting a further research on Visfatin as a therapeutic target.

Community Characteristics and Genetic Diversity of Macrobenthos in Haima Cold Seep - Gaoyou Yao; Hua Zhang; Panpan Xiong; Huixia Jia; Yu Shi; Maoxian He (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Knowledge about community structure and genetic diversity can help assess the potential for change in the loss and restoration of biodiversity, thereby facilitating effective management and ecosystem protection. Macroinvertebrate communities are an important biotic component of deep sea cold seep ecosystems. As Haima cold seep is increasingly being assessed for its potential gas hydrate mineral wealth, knowledge of community characteristics and genetic diversity of macrobenthos is needed to anticipate the potential impacts on biodiversity. In this study, we examined species diversity and community structure at five sites in the Haima cold seep using a remote-operated vehicle (ROV) for in situ surveying. The results identified 12 macrobenthic species from 5 phyla and 12 families. The macrobenthos community could be divided into two communities (H1 and H2=mussel bed community, and H3 and H4= vesicomyid clams community) based on CLUSTER and NMDS analyses. Gigantidas haimaensis (Mollusca), Branchipolynoe pettiboneae (Annelida), and Histampica haimaensis (Echinodermata) were most dominant within their respective phyla, with values of the dominance of 0.160, 0.021 and 0.114, respectively. The genetic diversity of these three typical macrobenthic species in the Haima cold seep was evaluated using the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I ( COI ) gene, haplotype, and nucleotide diversity values were 0.651 to 0.912 and 0.00148 to 0.00812, respectively, representing high haplotype diversity but low nucleotide diversity. Finally, mitochondrial concatenated dataset (MCD) sequences from three mitochondrial genes ( ATP6 , COI , and NAD4 ) and 294,734 genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from restriction site-associated DNA-sequencing (RAD-seq) data were obtained from 60 individuals from two sites (H1 and H2), providing deep insight into the genetic diversity and structure of G. haimaensis , the engineer species in Haima cold seep. No significant genetic differentiation between G. haimaensis in H1 and H2 was detected based on MCD sequences. Nevertheless, when using SNP datasets, a small but clear genetic subdivision between G. haimaensis in the two sites as revealed by STRUCTURE and principal component analysis (PCA). The results comprehensively illuminate macrobenthos biodiversity in the Haima cold seep ecosystem and provide a baseline against which population dynamics may be assessed in the future.

Investigation of Storm Tides Induced by Super Typhoon in Macro-Tidal Hangzhou Bay - Li Li; Zixuan Li; Zhiguo He; Zhuzhu Yu; Yihan Ren (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Typhoon-induced storm tides can cause serious coastal disasters and considerable economic losses. Understanding the mechanisms controlling storm surges helps the prevention of coastal disasters. Hangzhou Bay (HZB), a typical macro-tidal estuary, is located on the east coast of China, where typhoons frequently occur. The funnel-shaped topography makes this macro-tidal bay even more sensitive to storm tides. Super Typhoon Chan-hom was used as an example to study the characteristics and dynamic mechanisms of storm surges using a well-validated numerical model. The model considers the two-way coupling of waves and tides. The wind strength for the model was reconstructed using multi-source wind data and was refined by considering different rotating and moving wind fields. The Holland–Miyazaki model was used to reconstruct the local wind-field data with a good performance. The model results show that the total water level of HZB during typhoon Chan-hom was mainly dominated by tides, and the storm surge was closely related to the wind field. Surface flow was mostly influenced by winds, followed by tides. The spatial and temporal distributions of the significant wave height were controlled by the wind and local terrain. Wind stress was the largest contributor to storm surges (91%), followed by the pressure effect (15%) and the wave effect (5%). Both wind and wave-induced surges occurred during low slack waters. The tide-surge interaction changes (enhance or suppress) the surge by approximately 0.5 m during the typhoon, comprising approximately 50% of the total surge. Tides interacted with surges through various mechanisms, from the bay mouth (local acceleration and friction) to the bay head (friction and advection). The Coriolis force had a relatively minor effect. The findings of this study provide useful information for studies on sediment dynamics and coastal structures under extreme weather conditions.

Dose Rate Assessment Exercises with Stylized Phantom of Neon Flying Squid from Northwest Pacific - Jia Li; Wen Yu; Jianhua He; Zhi Zeng (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Radiation protection for non-human marine organisms still faces many challenges. To establish a more realistic radiation dosimetry model of cephalopods, this study developed a stylized phantom of neon flying squid (Ommastrephesbartramii) containing ten organs and tissues based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology. The internal and external dose conversion coefficients for eight radionuclides (134Cs, 137Cs, 131I, 110mAg, 60Co, 54Mn, 65Zn, 95Zr) of each organ/tissue were determined with Monte Carlo simulation using the Geant4 toolkit. Furthermore, with the reported coastal seawater radioactivity levels at the coastal area of Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant after the accident in 2011 as the source term, the radiological dose rate for O. bartramii was evaluated with the stylized phantom developed in this study and with the conventional whole-organism ellipsoidal model in the ERICA Assessment Tool. Both results showed that the dose rate for O. bartramii derived from the FDNPP accident releases exceeded the generic no-effects screening benchmark level (10 μGy h−1).

Bioinspired Central Pattern Generator and T-S Fuzzy Neural Network-Based Control of a Robotic Manta for Depth and Heading Tracking - Yonghui Cao; Yu Xie; Yue He; Guang Pan; Qiaogao Huang; Yong Cao (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2022)
Aiming at the difficult problem of motion control of robotic manta with pectoral fin flexible deformation, this paper proposes a control scheme that combines the bioinspired Central Pattern Generator (CPG) and T-S Fuzzy neural network (NN)-based control. An improved CPG drive network is presented for the multi-stage fin structure of the robotic manta. Considering the unknown dynamics and the external environmental disturbances, a sensor-based classic T-S Fuzzy NN controller is designed for heading and depth control. Finally, a pool test demonstrates the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed controller: the robotic manta can track the depth and heading with an error of ±6 cm and ±6°, satisfying accuracy requirements.

Metabolic tuning of a stable microbial community in the surface oligotrophic Indian Ocean revealed by integrated meta-omics - Zhang-Xian Xie; Ke-Qiang Yan; Ling-Fen Kong; Ying-Bao Gai; Tao Jin; Yan-Bin He; Ya-Yu Wang; Feng Chen; Lin Lin; Zhi-Long Lin; Hong-Kai Xu; Zong-Ze Shao; et al. (Marine Life Science & Technology, 2022)
Understanding the mechanisms, structuring microbial communities in oligotrophic ocean surface waters remains a major ecological endeavor. Functional redundancy and metabolic tuning are two mechanisms that have been proposed to shape microbial response to environmental forcing. However, little is known about their roles in the oligotrophic surface ocean due to less integrative characterization of community taxonomy and function. Here, we applied an integrated meta-omics-based approach, from genes to proteins, to investigate the microbial community of the oligotrophic northern Indian Ocean. Insignificant spatial variabilities of both genomic and proteomic compositions indicated a stable microbial community that was dominated by Prochlorococcus , Synechococcus , and SAR11. However, fine tuning of some metabolic functions that are mainly driven by salinity and temperature was observed. Intriguingly, a tuning divergence occurred between metabolic potential and activity in response to different environmental perturbations. Our results indicate that metabolic tuning is an important mechanism for sustaining the stability of microbial communities in oligotrophic oceans. In addition, integrated meta-omics provides a powerful tool to comprehensively understand microbial behavior and function in the ocean.

Identification of PDXDC1 as a novel pleiotropic susceptibility locus shared between lumbar spine bone mineral density and birth weight - Yu-Qian Song; Shi-Di Hu; Xu Lin; Xiang-He Meng; Xiao Wang; Yin-Hua Zhang; Cheng Peng; Rui Gong; Tao Xu; Tong Zhang; Chen-Zhong Li; Dao-Yan Pan; et al. (Journal of Molecular Medicine, 2022)
An increasing number of epidemiological studies have suggested that birth weight (BW) may be a determinant of bone health later in life, although the underlying genetic mechanism remains unclear. Here, we applied a pleiotropic conditional false discovery rate (cFDR) approach to the genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics for lumbar spine bone mineral density (LS BMD) and BW, aiming to identify novel susceptibility variants shared between these two traits. We detected 5 novel potential pleiotropic loci which are located at or near 7 different genes ( NTAN1 , PDXDC1 , CACNA1G , JAG1 , FAT1P1 , CCDC170 , ESR1 ), among which PDXDC1 and FAT1P1 have not previously been linked to these phenotypes. To partially validate the findings, we demonstrated that the expression of PDXDC1 was dramatically reduced in ovariectomized (OVX) mice in comparison with sham-operated (SHAM) mice in both the growth plate and trabecula bone. Furthermore, immunohistochemistry assay with serial sections showed that both osteoclasts and osteoblasts express PDXDC1 , supporting its potential role in bone metabolism. In conclusion, our study provides insights into some shared genetic mechanisms for BMD and BW as well as a novel potential therapeutic target for the prevention of OP in the early stages of the disease development. Key messages We investigated pleiotropy-informed enrichment between LS BMD and BW. We identified genetic variants related to both LS BMD and BW by utilizing a cFDR approach. PDXDC1 is a novel pleiotropic gene which may be related to both LS BMD and BW.

Nanostructure and Nanomechanics of Prorocentrum donghaiense and Their Changes Under Nitrogen Limitation by Atomic Force Microscopy - Liyan He; Zhiming Yu; Jianan Zhu; Xihua Cao; Xiuxian Song (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
In this paper, atomic force microscopy was employed to study the harmful algal bloom species Prorocentrum donghaiense for the first time. Cells were immobilized in pores of polycarbonate membrane to keep moist and to acquire images of P. donghaiense at different scales. Typical ultrastructures, such as knob-like spines and valve pores, were observed on cell surfaces. These structures had similar characteristics to those observed on scanning electron microscopy images. Moreover, the height and spacing of typical nanostructure, and nanomechanical parameters such as adhesion and elasticity, were also quantified by AFM. Additionally, the changes in cell surface nanostructure and nanomechanical characteristics under nitrogen limitation were further studied. Compared with the cells under normal culture conditions, the cell surface roughness and adhesion decreased, and the elastic modulus increased for cells under nitrogen limitation. Potential changes in the ability of P. donghaiense cells to perform normal physiological functions are reflected by changes in cell surface parameters, including cell surface roughness, cell surface adhesion, and cell surface elasticity. The results of this study reveal how P. donghaiense responds to changes in the external environment under approximately physiological conditions from the perspective of changes in cell surface nanostructures and nanomechanical characteristics and provide a new understanding of its cell biology.

Aim Mountains harbour a rich and non‐random cluster of species, yet knowledge of the species' biological attributes that support their coexistence in the montane community is limited. Here, we investigated the association of species occurrence on the Tibetan Plateau with their morphological, ecological or evolutionary constraints. Location Tibetan Plateau (TP). Taxon Mammals and birds. Methods We tested whether species occurrence on the TP correlates with morphological, ecological or evolutionary constraints using the spatial distribution, phylogeny, dispersal ability and thermal niche property data for 1353 terrestrial vertebrates (383 mammals and 970 birds). We used standard (non‐phylogenetic) and phylogenetic logistic regressions to elucidate the relative contributions of these attributes of species to explaining their occurrence on the TP. We assessed the geographical patterns of the community structures on the TP and fitted linear mixed models to explore the underlying eco‐evolutionary forces. Results The TP species exhibited a higher cold tolerance, wider thermal niche breadth and higher rate of niche evolution than non‐TP species. We supported the assumption that the TP species were not a random subset from the species pool, but were structured jointly by environmental filtering and dispersal limitation. While dispersal and ecological processes underlying species assemblages varied spatially and among taxa, we found that species in stressful environments were limited by environmental filtering, whereas dispersal limitation was more pronounced under favourable climatic conditions. Main conclusions Our study finds that environmental filtering and dispersal limitation jointly shape the species assemblage on the TP. These findings provide significant insights into community assembly processes on the TP and other montane ecosystems on Earth, especially those that are sensitive to global warming.

Assessment of the effects of spatiotemporal characteristics of drought on crop yields in southwest China - Ali Mokhtar; Hongming He; Karam Alsafadi; Safwan Mohammed; Olusola O. Ayantobo; Ahmed Elbeltagi; Ossama M. M. Abdelwahab; Hongfei Zhao; Ye Quan; Hazem Ghassan Abdo; Yeboah Gyasi‐Agyei; Yu Li (International Journal of Climatology, 2022)
There are limited literature on the impacts of drought on crop yields in warm regions such as southwest China. Drought vulnerability of four different crops (wheat, rice, maize and sugarcane) cultivated in three provinces (Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunnan) within southwest China were investigated in this study. It was based on the drought index of standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI) for ‐3‐ and ‐6 months timescales (SPEI‐3 and SPEI‐6). The correlation between the SPEI and the standardized yield residuals series index for the individual crops was estimated for the period from 1960 to 2018. The highest drought duration was recorded in the southern part of the study area especially in the Yunnan Province. For SPEI‐3, 60% of the total area was affected by drought mainly during the months from August to December for about 13 years (2005–2018). In terms of SPEI‐6, the total affected area by the drought exceeded 80% during the timeframe from 2009 to 2013. Among the studied crops, winter wheat had the highest annual crop yield losses particularly in 2010 when the loss exceeded 50%. The results of this study have implications for agricultural management and climate policymaking in minimizing the influence of drought under the warming climate in southwest China. Further, it provides greater insight into crop–climate interactions and sustainable crop production.

The management of bone defect using long non-coding RNA as a potential biomarker for regulating the osteogenic differentiation process - Jia-lin Liu; Yan-shi Liu; Mei-jie Zheng; Hui-yu He (Molecular Biology Reports, 2022)
Tissue engineered bone brings hope to the treatment of bone defects, and the osteogenic differentiation of stem cells is the key link. Inducing osteogenic differentiation of stem cells may be a potential approach to promote bone regeneration. In recent years, lncRNA has been studied in the field increasingly, which is believed can regulate cell cycle, proliferation, metastasis, differentiation and immunity, participating in a variety of physiology and pathology processes. At present, it has been confirmed that certain lncRNAs regulate the osteogenesis of stem cells and take part in mediating signaling pathways including Wnt/β-catenin, MAPK, TGF-β/BMP, and Notch pathways. Here, we provided an overview of lncRNA, reviewed its researches in the osteogenic differentiation of stem cells, emphasized the importance of lncRNA in bone regeneration, and focused on the roles of lncRNA in signaling pathways, in order to make adequate preparations for applying lncRNA to bone tissue Engineering, letting it regulate the osteogenic differentiation of stem cells for bone regeneration.

The influence of aboveground and belowground species composition on spatial turnover in nutrient pools in alpine grasslands - Xin Jing; Case M. Prager; Litong Chen; Haiyan Chu; Nicholas J. Gotelli; Jin‐Sheng He; Yu Shi; Teng Yang; Biao Zhu; Aimée T. Classen; Nathan J. Sanders (Global Ecology and Biogeography, 2022)
Aim An important research question in ecology is how climate and the biodiversity of aboveground plants and belowground microbiomes affect ecosystem functions such as nutrient pools. However, little is studied on the concurrent role of above‐ and belowground species composition in shaping the spatial distribution patterns of ecosystem functions across environmental gradients. Here, we investigated the relationships between the taxonomic composition of plants, soil bacteria and soil fungi and spatial turnover in nutrient pools, and assessed how species composition–nutrient pool relationships were mediated by contemporary climatic conditions. Location Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau. Time period Current. Major taxa studied Plants, soil bacteria and soil fungi. Methods We surveyed plant assemblages, sampled the taxonomic composition of soil bacteria and soil fungi, and measured plant‐ and soil‐mediated nutrient pools at 60 alpine grasslands on the Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau. Using Mantel tests, structural equation models and general linear models, we investigated the relative importance of the taxonomic composition of plant, soil bacterial, and soil fungal communities on the spatial turnover of alpine grassland nutrient pools. Results We found that the taxonomic composition of plant, soil bacterial, and soil fungal communities was associated with local climate. However, the effects of local climate on the spatial turnover of plant‐ and soil‐mediated nutrient pools were mainly indirect and mediated through plant and soil bacterial species composition, but not through soil fungal species composition. We further found that the replacement component of soil bacterial β‐diversity and the richness difference of plant β‐diversity were the direct predictors of nutrient pools in the alpine grasslands. Main conclusions These results highlight that belowground bacterial composition together with aboveground plant species composition are related to spatial turnover in nutrient pools, perhaps even driving it. Conserving above‐ and belowground biodiversity may therefore safeguard against the impacts of local climate on the functions of climate‐sensitive alpine grasslands.

Plastic pollution is one of the growing environmental problems in the world currently. The situation of microplastics (MPs) in the South China Sea (SCS) is not yet fully understood. This study investigated the spatial distribution, morphological characterization, and chemical composition of MPs in surface seawater in the southwestern SCS, based on cruise data in 2018. Our analysis shows that the average abundance of surface MPs in seawater was 0.072 ± 0.053 particles/m 3 and 88.4% of MPs were <2 mm. 97.3% of MPs were fibers and fragments. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and cellophane were predominant polymer components of surface MPs. Higher MPs abundance (0.083 ± 0.063 particles/m 3 ) and bigger MPs sizes were found at surface water in Nansha Islands than in Xisha Islands (0.032 ± 0.01 particles/m 3 ). In addition, more polymer types of MPs were found in Nansha Islands, while more MPs films were found in Xisha Islands. PET and cellophane dominated in Nansha Islands, while PVC dominated in Xisha Islands with no cellophane detected. The surface MPs were low in abundance and diverse in polymers in the southwestern SCS with apparent differences between islands and between onshore and offshore, owing to plastics wastes from vessel traffics and some inhabited islands.

Environmental Filtering by pH and Salinity Jointly Drives Prokaryotic Community Assembly in Coastal Wetland Sediments - Huang Yu; Qiuping Zhong; Yisheng Peng; Xiafei Zheng; Fanshu Xiao; Bo Wu; Xiaoli Yu; Zhiwen Luo; Longfei Shu; Cheng Wang; Qingyun Yan; Zhili He (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Understanding the microbial community assembly is an essential topic in microbial ecology. Coastal wetlands are an important blue carbon sink, where microbes play a key role in biogeochemical cycling of nutrients and energy transformation. However, the drivers controlling the distribution patterns and assembly of bacterial and archaeal communities in coastal wetland are unclear. Here we examined the diversity, co-occurrence network, assembly processes and environmental drivers of bacterial and archaeal communities from inshore to offshore sediments by the sequencing of 16S rRNA gene amplicons. The value of α- and β-diversity of bacterial and archaeal communities generally did not change significantly ( P > 0.05) between offshore sites, but changed significantly ( P < 0.05) among inshore sites. Sediment pH and salinity showed significant effects on the diversity and keystone taxa of bacterial and archaeal communities. The bacterial and archaeal co-occurrence networks were inextricably linked with pH and salinity to formed the large network nodes, suggesting that they were the key factors to drive the prokaryotic community. We also identified that heterogeneous and homogeneous selection drove the bacterial and archaeal community assembly, while the two selections became weaker from offshore sites to inshore sites, suggesting that deterministic processes were more important in offshore sites. Overall, these results suggested that the environmental filtering of pH and salinity jointly governed the assembly of prokaryotic community in offshore sediments. This study advances our understanding of microbial community assembly in coastal wetland ecosystems.

Distribution of Coomassie Blue Stainable Particles in the Pearl River Estuary, China, Insight Into the Nitrogen Cycling in Estuarine System - Cui-Ci Sun; Wei-Zhong Yue; You-Shao Wang; Wei-Hong He; Yi-Guo Hong; Fu-Lin Sun; Hao Cheng; Mei-Lin Wu; Zhao-Yu Jiang; Fei Jiao; Yu-Tu Wang (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022)
Distributions of Coomassie Blue stainable particles (CSP), the sources and transports, as well as their implications for nitrogen biogeochemical cycles in the Pearl River estuary (PRE) were investigated during two cruises in August 2016 and January 2017. CSP color concentrations (CSP concentration determined spectrophotometrically) were 73.7–685.3 μg BSA eq L –1 [μg Bovine serum albumin (BSA) equivalent liter –1 ] in August 2016 and 100.6–396.4 μg BSA eq L –1 in January 2017, respectively. CSP concentrations were high in low-salinity waters (<5), and declined from the river to the middle estuary by 80% in the wet season and 55.6% in the dry season, respectively, then increased again in the lower estuary due to high primary production. CSP concentrations were mainly associated with chlorophyll a (Chl a ) concentration except for the turbid mixing zone, suggesting that autochthonous phytoplankton production served as the primary source of CSP in the PRE. The concentrations of nitrogen (N) as CSP in the PRE were comparable to the nitrogen content of particulate hydrolysable amino acids (PHAA). Pictures of CSP taken by microscopy and the correlation between composition of PHAA and the ratio of Chl a /CSP color showed that CSP were relatively degraded due to delivery of old terrestrial protein to river section and extensive microbial degradation during mixing at the upper and middle parts of the estuary, whereas CSP in lower estuary appeared to be more labile due to higher fresh algal production. The contribution of CSP nitrogen (CSP-N) to the particulate nitrogen (PN) pool was 34.98% in summer and 30.8% in winter. The conservative estimate of CSP-N input flux in the Pearl River Delta was about 6 × 10 6 mol N d –1 . These results suggested that CSP was a significant pool of organic nitrogen in the PRE. The study of CSP composition in terms of nitrogen provides new insight into the roles of CSP on nitrogen biogeochemical processes in the turbid and productive estuarine system.

Effects of cascade reservoir systems on the longitudinal distribution of sediment characteristics: a case study of the Heihe River Basin - Yu Wang; Bao-long Li; Juan-juan Liu; Qi Feng; Wei Liu; Xu Wang; Yu-hua He (Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2022)
Spatial variations in grain size parameters can reflect river sediment transport patterns and depositional dynamics. Therefore, 22 surficial sediment samples taken from the Heihe River and its cascade reservoirs were analyzed to better understand the impact of cascade reservoir construction on sediment transport patterns in inland rivers in China. The results showed that the longitudinal distribution of sediment grain size in the Heihe River was significantly affected by the influence of the cascade reservoirs. The retention rate in the cascade reservoir of the Heihe River reached 79% (193.53 Mt/year), which caused most of the fine sand to accumulate in the reservoir, and the sediment fining degree reached approximately 50%. However, the water discharged from the dam caused serious erosion of the riverbed and coarsening of the sediment, and the coarsening degree was approximately 500%. The backwater zone of the reservoir was influenced by both backwater and released water, and the coarsening degree of sediment was approximately 101%. Sedimentary environmental analysis revealed that the characteristics of the sediment grain size in an upstream tributary of the Heihe River were more influenced by source material than by hydrodynamic conditions, while the grain size characteristics of the mainstream sediments were controlled mainly by hydrodynamic conditions. The characteristics of sediment transport in different reaches of the Heihe River were studied, and the results may provide references for the operation of cascade reservoirs and the sediment control of reservoirs.

The Identification and Prediction of Mesoscale Eddy Variation via Memory in Memory With Scheduled Sampling for Sea Level Anomaly - Rui Nian; Yu Cai; Zhengguang Zhang; Hui He; Jingyu Wu; Qiang Yuan; Xue Geng; Yuqi Qian; Hua Yang; Bo He (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Ocean mesoscale eddies are ubiquitous in world ocean and account for 90% oceanic kinetic energy, which dominate the upper ocean flow field. Accurately predicting the variation of ocean mesoscale eddies is the key to understand the oceanic flow field and circulation system. In this article, we propose to make an initial attempt to explore spatio-temporal predictability of mesoscale eddies, employing deep learning architecture, which primarily establishes Memory In Memory (MIM) for sea level anomaly (SLA) prediction, combined with the existing mesoscale eddy detection. Oriented to the western Pacific ocean (125°−137.5°E and 15°−27.5°N), we quantitatively investigate the historic daily SLA variability at a 0.25° spatial resolution from 2000 to 2018, derived by satellite altimetry. We develop the enhanced MIM prediction strategies, equipped with Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) and spatial attention module, in a scheduled sampling manner, which overcomes the gradient vanishing and complements to strengthen spatio-temporal features for long-term dependencies. At the early stage, the real value SLA input guides the model training process for initialization, while the scheduled sampling intentionally feeds the newly predicted value, to resolve the distribution inconsistency of inference. It has been demonstrated in our experiment results that our proposed prediction scheme outperformed the state-of-art approaches for SLA time series, with MAPE, RMSE of the 14-day prediction duration, respectively, 5.1%, 0.023 m on average, even up to 4.6%, 0.018 m for the effective sub-regions, compared to 19.8%, 0.086 m in ConvLSTM and 8.3%, 0.040 m in original MIM, which greatly facilitated the mesoscale eddy prediction. This proposed scheme will be beneficial to understand of the underlying dynamical mechanism behind the predictability of mesoscale eddies in the future, and help the deployment of ARGO, glider, AUV and other observational platforms.

Insights Into the Environmental Impact on Genetic Structure and Larval Dispersal of Crown-of-Thorns Starfish in the South China Sea - Biao Chen; Kefu Yu; Qiucui Yao; Zhiheng Liao; Zhenjun Qin; Xiaopeng Yu; Qian Wu; Biao He (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
The coral-eating crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS; Acanthaster spp.) play a major role in coral reef degradation in the Indo-Pacific region. However, the impacts of environmental factors on the phylogenetic and genetic characteristics of COTS in the northern Indo-Pacific convergence region remains unclear. We used mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and microsatellite markers to analyze the phylogenetic relationship, demographic history, genetic diversity and genetic structure of COTS in the South China Sea (SCS) and explored the impact of environmental factors on historical population expansion, genetic differentiation and larval dispersal. There was a clear signature of a population expansion in the SCS using the mtDNA marker. According to microsatellite loci analysis, COTS have high genetic diversity in the SCS. STRUCTURE analysis indicated that COTS in the Pacific Ocean can be divided into four subgroups: the SCS, Western Pacific, Pacific equatorial current affected zone, and Pacific insular atolls populations in the Pacific Ocean. F st-statistical analysis revealed positive correlations between the F st values and geographic isolation for all sampling sites. Additionally, there were no clear associations between the F st values and chlorophyll a concentrations among coral reefs in the SCS; however, there were significant positive associations between the F st values and particulate organic carbon (POC) concentrations within small geographic distances. These results suggest that COTS underwent historical population expansion after the Last Glacial Maximum, possibly followed by coral population expansion. The genetic structure of COTS populations may have been shaped by distinct nutrient concentrations, particularly those of POC, over small geographic distances. Moreover, ocean currents provide a potential dispersal mechanism for COTS larvae in the SCS. This study demonstrates that environmental and oceanographic factors play important roles in shaping the genetic characteristics and larval dispersal of COTS populations in the northern Indo-Pacific convergence region.

Study of the Cone-Shaped Drogue for a Deep-Towed Multi-Channel Seismic Survey System Based on Data-Driven Simulations - Xiangqian Zhu; Mingqi Sun; Tianhao He; Kaiben Yu; Le Zong; Jin-Hwan Choi (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
A drogue is used to stabilise and straighten seismic arrays so that seismic waves can be well-received. To embed the effect of a cone-shaped drogue into the numerical modelling of the deep-towed seismic survey system, one surrogate model that maps the relationship between the hydrodynamic characteristics of the drogue and towing conditions was obtained based on data-driven simulations. The sample data were obtained by co-simulation of the commercial software RecurDyn and Particleworks, and the modelling parameters were verified by physical experiments. According to the Morison formula, the rotational angle, angular velocity, angular acceleration, towing speed, and towing acceleration of the drogue were selected as the design variables and drag forces and aligning torque were selected as the research objectives. The sample data of more than 8500 sets were obtained from virtual manoeuvres. Subsequently, both polynomial and neural network regression algorithms were used to study these data. Finally, analysis results show that the surrogate model obtained by machine learning has good performance in predicting research objectives. The results also reveal that the neural network regression algorithm is superior to the polynomial regression algorithm, its largest error of mean square is less than 0.8 (N2/N2 mm2), and its R-squared is close to 1.

The impact of teleconnections on the temporal dynamics in aboveground net primary productivity of the Mongolian Plateau grasslands - Cuicui Jiao; Guirui Yu; Xiaobo Yi; Wei Zhao; Liwei Xing; Fan He; Qiyu Li; Ji Luo (International Journal of Climatology, 2021)
Temporal dynamics in aboveground net primary productivity (ANPP) are significant for environmental protection and economic development in the Mongolian Plateau grasslands (MPGs). Climate control of ANPP's temporal variations has intensified in response to local meteorological conditions, while the contributions of large‐scale atmospheric circulations to ANPP variations are poorly understood in the MPGs. First, we explored the temporal dynamics in annual ANPP, and then, we analyzed correlations among annual ANPP, local meteorological variables, and three different teleconnections during 1982–2015 in this study. Our analytical results indicated that (a) ANPP exhibited an increasing trend during the entire study period. However, the increasing trend did not persist, and two reversals occurred in 1998 and 2007. (b) ANPP variations were primarily influenced by summer precipitation in most regions and by summer precipitation and temperature together in other regions of the MPGs. (c) The Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO) in winter negatively dominated annual ANPP variations by influencing summer precipitation and summer temperature in central Mongolia. The North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) in winter exerted strong positive impacts on ANPP variations by influencing summer precipitation in Inner Mongolia, China. The East Atlantic Western Russia (EAWR) in spring controlled annual ANPP variations by influencing summer precipitation in western and eastern Mongolia. (d) The winter AMO, winter NAO and spring EAWR significantly dominated the annual ANPP variations in 49.78% of the MPGs, with values of 18.90, 9.81 and 21.07%, respectively. (e) Reversals of the winter AMO, winter NAO and spring EAWR between negative and positive phases resulted in two reversals of ANPP trends. This study will improve our understanding of the role of large‐scale atmospheric circulations in regulating ANPP variations and will be valuable in guiding the development of grazing land management in Mongolia and Inner Mongolia, China.

Termite mound formation reduces the abundance and diversity of soil resistomes - Zhen‐Zhen Yan; Qing‐Lin Chen; Chao‐Yu Li; Bao‐Anh Thi Nguyen; Yong‐Guan Zhu; Ji‐Zheng He; Hang‐Wei Hu (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Termites are pivotal ecosystem engineers in tropical and subtropical habitats, where they construct massive nests (‘mounds’) that substantially modify soil properties and promote nutrient cycling. Yet, little is known about the roles of termite nesting activity in regulating the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), one of the major Global Health challenges. Here, we conducted a large‐scale (> 1500 km) investigation in northern Australia and found distinct resistome profiles in termite mounds and bulk soils. By profiling a wide spectrum of ARGs, we found that the abundance and diversity of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) were significantly lower in termite mounds than in bulk soils ( P P

Precipitation increases the abundance of fungal plant pathogens in Eucalyptus phyllosphere - Qing‐Lin Chen; Hang‐Wei Hu; Zhen‐Zhen Yan; Chao‐Yu Li; Bao‐Anh Thi Nguyen; Yong‐Guan Zhu; Ji‐Zheng He (Environmental Microbiology, 2021)
Summary Understanding the current and future distributions of plant pathogens is critical to predict the plant performance and related economic benefits in the changing environment. Yet, little is known about the roles of environmental drivers in shaping the profiles of fungal plant pathogens in phyllosphere, an important habitat of microbiomes on Earth. Here, using a large‐scale investigation of Eucalyptus phyllospheric microbiomes in Australia and the multiple linear regression model, we show that precipitation is the most important predictor of fungal taxonomic diversity and abundance. The abundance of fungal plant pathogens in phyllosphere exhibited a positive linear relationship with precipitation. With this empirical dataset, we constructed current and future atlases of phyllosphere plant pathogens to estimate their spatial distributions under different climate change scenarios. Our atlases indicate that the abundance of fungal plant pathogens would increase especially in the coastal regions with up to 100‐fold increase compared with the current abundance. These findings advance our understanding of the distributions of fungal plant pathogens in phyllospheric microbiomes under the climate change, which can improve our ability to predict and mitigate their impacts on plant productivity and economic losses.

Theoretical and Numerical Analysis of Blasting Pressure of Cylindrical Shells under Internal Explosive Loading - Zhan-Feng Chen; Hui-Jie Wang; Zhiqian Sang; Wen Wang; He Yang; Wei-Ming Meng; Yu-Xing Li (Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021)
Cylindrical shells are principal structural elements that are used for many purposes, such as offshore, sub-marine, and airborne structures. The nonlinear mechanics model of internal blast loading was established to predict the dynamic blast pressure of cylindrical shells. However, due to the complexity of the nonlinear mechanical model, the solution process is time-consuming. In this study, the nonlinear mechanics model of internal blast loading is linearized, and the dynamic blast pressure of cylindrical shells is solved. First, a mechanical model of cylindrical shells subjected to internal blast loading is proposed. To simplify the calculation, the internal blast loading is reduced to linearly uniform variations. Second, according to the stress function method, the dynamic blast pressure equation of cylindrical shells subjected to blast loading is derived. Third, the calculated results are compared with those of the finite element method (FEM) under different durations of dynamic pressure pulse. Finally, to reduce the errors, the dynamic blast pressure equation is further optimized. The results demonstrate that the optimized equation is in good agreement with the FEM, and is feasible to linearize the internal blast loading of cylindrical shells.

Metagenomic insights into the effects of submerged plants on functional potential of microbial communities in wetland sediments - Binhao Wang; Xiafei Zheng; Hangjun Zhang; Xiaoli Yu; Yingli Lian; Xueqin Yang; Huang Yu; Ruiwen Hu; Zhili He; Fanshu Xiao; Qingyun Yan (Marine Life Science & Technology, 2021)
Submerged plants in wetlands play important roles as ecosystem engineers to improve self-purification and promote elemental cycling. However, their effects on the functional capacity of microbial communities in wetland sediments remain poorly understood. Here, we provide detailed metagenomic insights into the biogeochemical potential of microbial communities in wetland sediments with and without submerged plants (i.e., Vallisneria natans ). A large number of functional genes involved in carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and sulfur (S) cycling were detected in the wetland sediments. However, most functional genes showed higher abundance in sediments with submerged plants than in those without plants. Based on the comparison of annotated functional genes in the N and S cycling databases (i.e., NCycDB and SCycDB), we found that genes involved in nitrogen fixation (e.g., nifD/H/K/W ), assimilatory nitrate reduction (e.g., nasA and nirA ), denitrification (e.g., nirK/S and nosZ ), assimilatory sulfate reduction (e.g., cysD/H/J/N/Q and sir ), and sulfur oxidation (e.g., glpE, soeA, sqr and sseA ) were significantly higher (corrected p < 0.05) in vegetated vs. unvegetated sediments. This could be mainly driven by environmental factors including total phosphorus, total nitrogen, and C:N ratio. The binning of metagenomes further revealed that some archaeal taxa could have the potential of methane metabolism including hydrogenotrophic, acetoclastic, and methylotrophic methanogenesis, which are crucial to the wetland methane budget and carbon cycling. This study opens a new avenue for linking submerged plants with microbial functions, and has further implications for understanding global carbon, nitrogen and sulfur cycling in wetland ecosystems.

Differential metabolism-associated gene expression of duck pancreatic cells in response to two strains of duck hepatitis A virus type 1 - Zhen Chen; Shao-hua Shi; Yu Huang; Cui-qin Huang; Rong-chang Liu; Long-fei Cheng; Guang-hua Fu; Hong-mei Chen; Chun-he Wan; Qiu-ling Fu (Archives of Virology, 2021)
Several outbreaks of duck hepatitis A virus type 1 (DHAV-1), which were characterized by yellow coloration and hemorrhage in pancreatic tissues, have occurred in China. The causative agent is called pancreatitis-associated DHAV-1. The mechanisms involved in pancreatitis-associated DHAV-1 infection are still unclear. Transcriptome analysis of duck pancreas infected with classical-type DHAV-1 and pancreatitis-associated DHAV-1 was carried out. Deep sequencing with Illumina-Solexa resulted in a total of 53.9 Gb of clean data from the cDNA library of the pancreas, and a total of 29,597 unigenes with an average length of 993.43 bp were generated by de novo sequence assembly. The expression levels of D-3-phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase, phosphoserine aminotransferase, and phosphoserine phosphatase, which are involved in glycine, serine, and threonine metabolism pathways, were significantly downregulated in ducks infected with pancreatitis-associated DHAV-1 compared with those infected with classical-type DHAV-1. These findings provide information regarding differences in expression levels of metabolism-associated genes between ducks infected with pancreatitis-associated DHAV-1 and those infected with classical-type DHAV-1, indicating that intensive metabolism disorders may contribute to the different phenotypes of DHAV-1-infection.

Niche evolution and historical biogeography of lady slipper orchids in North America and Eurasia - Huanchu Liu; Hans Jacquemyn; Wei Chen; Steven B. Janssens; Xingyuan He; Shuai Yu; Yanqing Huang (Journal of Biogeography, 2021)
Aim Dispersal and subsequent adaptation to local environmental and climatic conditions play major roles in the evolution and current‐day distribution of plants and animals, but their relative importance is not always easy to disentangle. The aim of this study was to provide a comprehensive phylogenetic analysis of the terrestrial orchid genus Cypripedium to better understand the role of niche evolution and historical dispersal events in driving the radiation of the genus in North America and Eurasia. Location Northern Hemisphere. Taxon Cypripedium (Orchidaceae). Methods We used a relaxed molecular clock analysis to infer phylogenetic relationships among 45 Cypripedium species and to estimate divergence times. Niche modelling was used to assess the potential distribution of each species in both continents, whereas ancestral area reconstructions using BioGeoBEARS were used to estimate changes in historical biogeography. Subsequently, the ancestral state of niche conditions was assessed for each species using maximum likelihood methods and we tested for phylogenetic signal in the evolution of niche conditions using Blomberg's K and Pagel's λ. A mantel test was used to test for a correlation between phylogenetic distances and niche overlap in Cypripedium . Results We found that Cypripedium originated in Central America and underwent multiple dispersal events between North America and Eurasia after long‐distance seed dispersal or dispersal via the Bering land bridge. The mountainous area of Southwest China provided refuge areas for Cypripedium orchids during episodes of increased glaciation. Our results further showed that Cypripedium has gradually increased its tolerance to seasonal temperature changes, providing evidence for significant niche evolution through time. No significant correlation between current niches and phylogenetic relatedness was observed. Main conclusions Our study provides clear evidence that repeated dispersal and adaptation to increased cooling after the Eocene−Oligocene Transition has contributed to the radiation of Cypripedium in the Northern Hemisphere.

Monoculture or Mixed Culture? Relevance of Fine Root Dynamics to Carbon Sequestration Oriented Mangrove Afforestation and Restoration - Ziying He; Huaye Sun; Xiaoli Yu; Zhushi Yin; Mengxing Wu; Lili Zhao; Zhan Hu; Yisheng Peng; Shing Yip Lee (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Fine root dynamics have the potential to contribute to ecosystem biogeochemical cycling, especially for carbon. This is particularly true in mangroves which are the most productive and carbon-rich ecosystems of the world. However, few studies comprehensively evaluated the contribution of mangrove fine root dynamics to soil organic carbon accumulation. In southern China, while the introduced fast-growing Sonneratia apetala and native shrubby Kandelia obovata have been widely used in mangrove reforestation/afforestation programs since the mid-1980s, their implications and ecosystem services are still unclear. Here we show distinct differences in fine root dynamic among 12-year-old S. apetala , K. obovata monocultures, and their mixed stand using root coring, ingrowth core, and intact-core methods. Soil organic carbon storage was examined by soil coring method. One-year observation showed significant differences among the three mangrove plantations in fine root biomass, necromass, turnover rate, and decomposition decay rate constant. Soil organic carbon stock was 15.8 ± 0.8, 7.8 ± 0.5, and 11.9 ± 1.6 Mg C ha –1 for K. obovata , S. apetala monocultures and their mixed stand, respectively. Live fine root biomass, fine root necromass, annual fine root production and fine root mass decay rate constant are significantly correlated to soil organic carbon content across plantations. We suggest that mangrove fine root dynamics were mainly affected by soil nutrient conditions and species composition. Mixed stands may not have higher soil organic carbon storage than monocultures. The functional trait of different mangrove species is responsible to determine the carbon storage function of mixed stands. Fine roots play an important role in carbon storage, and fine root dynamics have a significant effect on carbon sequestration in mangrove ecosystems. The shrubby native K. obovata had a higher potential for belowground carbon sequestration and storage than the tall introduced S. apetala .

In-situ Detection Method for Microplastics in Water by Polarized Light Scattering - Tong Liu; Shijun Yu; Xiaoshan Zhu; Ran Liao; Zepeng Zhuo; Yanping He; Hui Ma (Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021)
Microplastics (MPs) have become the widespread contaminants, which raises concerns on their ecological hazards. In-situ detection of MP in water bodies is essential for clear assessment of the ecological risks of MPs. The present study proposes a method based on polarized light scattering which measures the polarization parameters of the scattered light at 120° to detect MP in water. This method takes the advantage of in-situ measurement of the individual particles and the experimental setup in principle is used. By use of the measured polarization parameters equipped by machine learning, the standard polystyrene (PS) spheres, natural water sample, and lab-cultured microalgae are explicitly discriminated, and MP with different physical and chemical properties can be differentiated. It can also characterize the weathering of different MP and identify the specific type from multiple types of MP. This study explores the capability of the proposed method to detect the physical and chemical properties, weathering state and concentration of MP in water which promises the future application in water quality sensing and monitoring.
