文摘Cloud type profoundly affects precipitation,but few studies have explored its impact on precipitation scale height.The authors calculated the ratio of the volume of each cloud type to the total cloud volume and partitioned the tropical region based on the dominant cloud types.Based on this,tropical regions were categorized into altocumulus control regions,stratocumulus control regions,deep convective cloud control regions,and transition regions.These regions exhibit unique characteristics:high precipitation scale heights and low surface precipitation rates in altocumulus control regions;low precipitation scale heights and low surface precipitation rates in stratocumulus control regions;and moderate precipitation scale heights with high surface precipitation rates in deep convective cloud regions.These features arise from differences in cloud characteristics,precipitation probability,and intensity,influenced by varying water vapor structures.In terms of physical mechanisms,altocumulus,stratocumulus,and deep convective cloud regions are characterized by total dryness,upper-level dryness with lower-level wetness,and total wetness,respectively.Upper-layer dryness leads to low cloud and precipitation structures,reducing the precipitation scale height,while lower-layer dryness increases it.Different humidity conditions in the upper and lower layers lead to variations in cloud type and volume distribution,ultimately affecting precipitation scale heights.This finding aids the mechanistic study of cloud precipitation physics in the tropics,providing valuable insights for developing numerical models and parameterizations.

文摘Background The diverse types and processing methods of grains intricately influence the sites and digestibility of starch digestion,thereby impacting energy utilization.This study aimed to explore the impact of grain variety and processing methods on the net energy(NE)in dairy goats,analyzing these effects at the level of nutrient digestion and metabolism.Methods Eighteen castrated Guanzhong dairy goats(44.25±3.59 kg BW)were randomly divided into 3 groups,each consisting of 6 replicates.The substitution method was employed to determine the NE values of the dry-rolled corn(DRC),dry-rolled wheat(DRW)or steam-flaked corn(SFC,360 g/L).Briefly,two phases were performed.Throughout the basal phase,all goats were fed the same basal diet.In the substitution phase,30%of the basal diet was replaced with DRC,DRW and SFC,respectively.Results In this study,the NE values of the DRC,DRW and SFC were 7.65,7.54 and 7.44 MJ/kg DM,respectively.Compared to the DRC group,the DRW group showed increased digestibility of starch and crude protein(CP).Similarly,the SFC group exhibited increased organic matter(OM)and starch digestibility and a trend towards higher dry matter(DM)digestibility,reduced fecal OM and starch content.Additionally,fecal volatile fatty acid(VFA)concentrations decreased in goats fed SFC.Correspondingly,digestible energy(DE)in the DRW and SFC groups tended to be higher than in the DRC group.DRW increased total VFA concentration compared to DRC,while SFC increased the proportion of propionate and decreased the acetate-to-propionate ratio in the rumen.Both the DRW and SFC diets elevated serum glucose levels.Furthermore,heat increment(HI)and gaseous energy(Gas E)related to fermentation were significantly higher in the DRW and SFC groups compared to the DRC group.Conclusion Our findings indicated that DRW and SFC increased rumen starch fermentation in goats,thereby improving total tract starch digestion and DE.However,DRW and SFC failed to improve NE value due to increased heat and gas energy production from fermentation.Therefore,excessively refined grains processing in the diet of dairy goats does not effectively improve energy efficiency.

文摘Various types of vegetative cover,predominantly woodlands,shrublands,and grasslands,provide a range of habitats for urban organisms and are the main contributors to urban ecosystem services.The goal of this study was to assess the potential of different vegetation types in maintaining and enhancing bryophyte diversity in urban areas.Bryophytes,small non-vascular plants,in woodlands,shrublands,and grasslands in Hefei city(eastern China)were investigated,and their species richness,abundance,community composition and relationships with habitat characteristics were analysed.The results show that urban woodlands had the highest species richness and abundance of bryophytes and a distinct community composition compared with the other vegetation types.Relative light intensity had a positive effect on species richness in urban woodlands,whereas litter cover had a negative effect on abundance.Shrub,grass and litter covers,and relative air humidity were the main factors driving the differences in bryophyte species composition between woodlands and other vegetation types.Therefore,owing to their high potential to maintain bryophyte diversity,woodlands should receive increased attention during the construction of urban green spaces.In addition,promoting structural heterogeneity and increasing light availability would be beneficial to bryophyte species diversity.

文摘Precipitation types primarily include rainfall,snowfall,and sleet,and the transformation of precipitation types has significant impacts on regional climate,ecosystems,and the land-atmosphere system.This study employs the Ding method to separate precipitation types from three datasets(CMFD,ERA5_Land,and CN05.1).Using data from 26meteorological observation stations in the Chinese Tianshan Mountains Region(CTMR)of China as the validation dataset,the precipitation type separation accuracy of three datasets was evaluated.Additionally,the impacts of relative humidity,precipitation amount,and air temperature on the accuracy of precipitation type separation were analyzed.The results indicate that the CMFD dataset provides the highest separation accuracy,followed by CN05.1,with ERA5_Land showing the poorest performance.Spatial correlation analysis reveals that CMFD outperforms the other two datasets at both annual and monthly scales.Root Mean Square Error(RMSE)and Mean Deviation(MD)values suggest that CMFD is more consistent with the station observational data.The analysis further demonstrates that relative humidity and precipitation amount significantly affect separation accuracy.After bias correction,the correlation coefficients between CMFD,ERA5_Land,and station observational data improved to 0.85-0.94,while the RMSE was controlled within 2 mm.The study also revealed that the overestimation of precipitation was positively correlated with the overestimation of rainfall days,negatively correlated with the overestimation of snowfall days,and that underestimated air temperatures led to an increase in the misclassification of snowfall days.This research provides a basis for selecting climate change datasets and managing water resources in alpine regions.

文摘Dynamic stress adjustment in deep-buried high geostress hard rock tunnels frequently triggers catastrophic failures such as rockbursts and collapses.While a comprehensive understanding of this process is critical for evaluating surrounding rock stability,its dynamic evolution are often overlooked in engineering practice.This study systematically summarizes a novel classification framework for stress adjustment types—stabilizing(two-zoned),shallow failure(three-zoned),and deep failure(four-zoned)—characterized by distinct stress adjustment stages.A dynamic interpretation technology system is developed based on microseismic monitoring,integrating key microseismic parameters(energy index EI,apparent stressσa,microseismic activity S),seismic source parameter space clustering,and microseismic paths.This approach enables precise identification of evolutionary stages,stress adjustment types,and failure precursors,thereby elucidating the intrinsic linkage between geomechanical processes(stress redistribution)and failure risks.The study establishes criteria and procedures for identifying stress adjustment types and their associated failure risks,which were successfully applied in the Grand Canyon Tunnel of the E-han Highway to detect 50 instances of disaster risks.The findings offer invaluable insights into understanding the evolution process of stress adjustment and pinpointing the disaster risks linked to hard rock in comparable high geostress tunnels.

文摘The occurrence types and controlling factors of organic matter in the sepiolite-containing successions of the first member of Mid-Permian Maokou Formation(Mao-1 Member for short)in the Eastern Sichuan Basin,SW China,have been investigated through outcrop section measurement,core observation,thin section identification,argon ion polishing-field scanning electron microscopy,energy spectrum analysis,X-ray diffraction,total organic carbon content(TOC),major and trace element analysis.Finally,the symbiotic adsorption model of sepiolite for organic matter enrichment has been established.The results show that the sepiolite-containing successions of the Mao-1 Member are composed of the rhythmite of mudstone,argillaceous limestone and limestone,with five depositional intervals vertically and the organic matter mostly developed in the mudstone and argillaceous limestone layers within the lower three intervals.The organic matter occurrence types are mostly layered or nodular in macro to meso-scale,blocky-vein-like under a microscope,but scattered,interstitial or adsorbed at a mesoscopic scale.It underwent transition processes from lower to higher salinity,from oxygen-poor and anoxic reduction to oxygen-poor and localized oxygen enrichment on the palaeo-environment of the Mao-1 Member.The first two intervals of the early depositional phase of Mao-1 Member constitute the cyclothems of mudstone,argillaceous limestone and limestone and quantities of fibrous-feathered sepiolite settle down within the Tongjiang-Changshou sag with continuous patchy organic matter from adsorption of alginate by sepiolite in intercrystalline,bedding surfaces and interlayer pores.The third and fourth intervals in the mid-depositional phase are mostly composed of the mudstone and argillaceous limestone alternations with the continuous patchy or banded organic matter in the surface and inter-crystalline pores of fibrous,feathered and flaky sepiolite.And the fifth interval in the late depositional phase of the Mao-1 Member comprises the cyclothems of extremely thin layered argillaceous limestone and thick-layered limestone with the fibrous sepiolite depositing in the argillaceous limestone and irregular organic matter dispersing around the sepiolite.Therefore,the symbiotic adsorption between organic matter and sepiolite effectively enhances the preservation efficiency of organic matter and improves the source rock quality of the Mao-1 Member,which enhances our understanding on the enrichment model of the depositional organic matter.

文摘Fire season affects the dynamic changes of post-fire vegetation communities and carbon emissions.Analyzing its global patterns supports understanding of the ecological impacts of fires and responses of fires to climate change.Meteorological variables have been widely used to quantify fire season in current studies.However,their results can not be used to assess climate impacts on the seasonality of fire activities.Here we utilized satellite-based Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer(MODIS)burned area data from 2001 to 2022 to identify global fire season types based on the number of peaks within a year.Using satellite data and innovatively processing the data to obtain a more accurate length of the fire season.We divided fire season types and examined the spatial distribution of fire season types across the Koppen-Geiger climate(KGC)zones.At a global scale,we identified three major fire season types,including unimodal(31.25%),bimodal(52.07%),and random(16.69%).The unimodal fire season primarily occurs in boreal and tropical regions lasting about 2.7 mon.In comparison,temperate ecosystems tend to have a longer fire season(3 mon)with two peaks throughout the year.The KGC zones show divergent contributions from the fire season types,indicating potential impacts of the climatic conditions on fire seasonality in these regions.

文摘Objective To investigate the association between ABO blood types and gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM)risk.Methods A prospective birth cohort study was conducted.ABO blood types were determined using the slide method.GDM diagnosis was based on a 75-g,2-h oral glucose tolerance test(OGTT)according to the criteria of the International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups.Logistic regression was applied to calculate the odds ratios(ORs)and 95%confidence intervals(CIs)between ABO blood types and GDM risk.Results A total of 30,740 pregnant women with a mean age of 31.81 years were enrolled in this study.The ABO blood types distribution was:type O(30.99%),type A(26.58%),type B(32.20%),and type AB(10.23%).GDM was identified in 14.44%of participants.Using blood type O as a reference,GDM risk was not significantly higher for types A(OR=1.05)or B(OR=1.04).However,women with type AB had a 19%increased risk of GDM(OR=1.19,95%CI=1.05–1.34;P<0.05),even after adjusting for various factors.This increased risk for type AB was consistent across subgroup and sensitivity analyses.Conclusion The ABO blood types may influence GDM risk,with type AB associated with a higher risk.Incorporating it—either as a single risk factor or in combination with other known factors—could help identify individuals at risk for GDM before or during early pregnancy.

文摘Asian rice comprises two major subspecies:Xian(X)and Geng(G),and the diverged resistance genes(R)have provided a foundation for breeding improved cultivars to control rice blast disease.After conducting two-phase allele mining using six updated FNP marker systems,the functional haplotypes at Pit,Pib,and Pi63 strictly diverged into the X-populations and were defined as X-R loci,while those at Pi54,Pi37,and Pi36 into the G-populations as G-R loci.The genic diversity at the three X-R loci(16 alleles)was twofold higher than that at the three G-R loci(8 alleles),and the allelic diversity in the Southern region(21 alleles)was nearly double that in the Northeastern region(11 alleles).Both observations reflect a significant difference in genetic diversity between X-and G-populations,and indicate that the effective R-genes mainly originated from X-subspecies.Based on the allelic structures characterized by a set of 10 parameters,8 and 16 alleles were respectively recognized as favorable and promising ones for the regional breeding programs.The genotypic structures of the two regional populations were almost different,indicating that the diverged alleles have been further assembled into two series of regional genotypes through long-term breeding programs,despite the presence of one-third of region-common alleles.The genotypic diversity in the Southern region(55 genotypes)was nearly twice as high as that in the Northeastern region(28),which perfectly reflects the aforementioned differences in both genic and allelic diversities.After analyzing the genotypic structures using a set of 13 parameters,4 and 23 genotypes,respectively,can be recommended as the favorable and promising ones for the regional breeding programs.The case study serves as a concrete sample of how to identify the favorable and promising alleles and genotypes,and beneficial parents based their comprehensive population structures for gene-designed breeding.
