Copepods, primary consumers of microalgae, possess a unique capacity for endogenous LC‐PUFA biosynthesis, possibly enabling them to cope with reduced dietary LC‐PUFA availabilities. However, this capacity may be itself impacted by changing oceanographic conditions. In this study, we conducted a laboratory experiment to evaluate the combined effects of warming (+3°C), acidification (−0.4 pH), and dietary LC‐PUFA deficiency on the fatty acid composition and LC‐PUFA biosynthesis (measured by quantitative RT‐PCR) of the benthic harpacticoid copepod <jats:italic>Platychelipus littoralis</jats:italic> (Brady, 1880). We hypothesized increased LC‐PUFA biosynthesis under all drivers compensating for LC‐PUFA reductions. Lipid profiles of copepods exposed to multiple stressors contained shorter‐chained and more saturated fatty acids. While copepods maintained base‐line relative concentrations of the physiologically important LC‐PUFA docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on an LC‐PUFA deficient diet at ambient temperatures, DHA concentrations decreased significantly with higher temperatures. Expression of the DHA biosynthesis genes Δ4 front‐end desaturase and elovl1a increased under dietary LC‐PUFA deficiency but did not exceed base‐line levels when simultaneously exposed to acidification. Expression of Δ4 front‐end desaturase and multiple elongases correlated positively with C<jats:sub>18</jats:sub> precursor concentrations and negatively with those of LC‐PUFAs such as DHA, indicating their role as LC‐PUFA biosynthesis enzymes. Overall, our findings suggest that ocean warming and acidification may impede benthic copepods' LC‐PUFA biosynthesis capacity under reduced dietary inputs, limiting their contribution toward global LC‐PUFA availability for higher trophic levels.","PeriodicalId":18143,"journal":{"name":"Limnology and Oceanography","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142867410","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To support an increased understanding of invasive shrub species’ ecology and distribution patterns and inform better management plans, this key phenological difference needs to be characterized in detail. Here we leveraged the high-resolution observations from the French-Israel VENµS mission to examine the phenological characteristics of a widespread invasive shrub species—Amur honeysuckle (AH; <ce:italic>Lonicera maackii</ce:italic> (Rupr.) Herder)—compared to native deciduous trees in Robinson Forest, Kentucky. VENµS offered daily superspectral (12 narrow bands) observations at 4 m resolution in a limited number of global sites, providing us with crucial data for the analysis. We identified three forest communities with respect to AH presence through field surveys (<ce:italic>i.e.,</ce:italic> uninvaded forest stands, forest stands with AH understory, and AH shrub thickets) and compared their VENµS-derived spectral signatures and time series of vegetation indices. In 2023, AH shrub thickets greened up one month earlier than uninvaded forest stands (mid-March vs. mid-April). AH leaf growth advanced into full green before the canopy tree greenup started in early April, marking an optimal window for isolating areas with AH understory from the uninvaded forest using remote sensing. Based on the phenological differences identified, we predicted the distribution of AH in the study area using a two-date differencing model and a spectral mixture analysis. Our detailed findings using VENµS data offer insights into the temporal dynamics of invasive shrubs and native trees in a typical eastern deciduous forest. While our prediction of the AH distribution was confounded by the presence of native early greening and/or evergreen understory plants at a few locations, it was still moderately accurate (overall accuracy ∼ 70 %) and its abundance estimates agreed with observations in forest stands with minimal native understory growth. Moving forward, high-resolution remote sensing observations combined with a phenology-based approach will likely support more precise monitoring and management of invasive understory plants in native forest ecosystems.","PeriodicalId":50341,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation","volume":"85 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142874809","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We find that internal variability feedbacks better predict forced feedbacks in CMIP6 relative to CMIP5 by over 50%, and that the increased predictability derives primarily from the slow (>20 years) response to climate change. A key novel result is that the increased predictability is consistent with the higher resemblance between the patterns of internal and forced temperature changes in CMIP6, which suggests temperature pattern effects play a key role in predicting forced climate feedbacks. Despite the increased predictability, emergent constraints provided by observed internal variability are weak and largely unchanged from CMIP5 to CMIP6 due to the shortness of the observational record.","PeriodicalId":12523,"journal":{"name":"Geophysical Research Letters","volume":"39 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142857731","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the interplay between these wind systems and their effects on regional dust activities remain poorly understood. In this study, we present a well-dated aeolian sedimentary sequence from the loess section (ZES) on the southern slope of the Qilian Mountains in the northeastern Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (NE-QTP). It provides insights into the response of dust activities to these wind systems for the last 18.5 ka. We developed a detailed chronology for ZES section based on luminescence dating of multiple signals from 29 samples (yielding a total of 87 ages). The luminescence sensitivities and element analysis of the sediments indicate a shift in dust source around 7.5 ka, contributed to a transition in the atmospheric circulation controls of the NE-QTP. Specially, our findings suggest that dust activity was likely dominated by EAWM from 18.5 ka to 7.5 ka and by the Westerlies after 7.5 ka across this area. We propose that increased NH ice volume (NHIV) significantly enhanced the EAWM via strengthening Siberian High, driving dust activities over the high mountains during the Last Deglaciation and Early Holocene. In contrast, as NHIV decreased during the middle-to-late Holocene, the EAWM weakened and retreated from this area, allowing the Westerlies to dominate dust activities. Additionally, grain-size parameters of sediments were used to infer variations in the intensities of these winds, revealing a gradual weakening of EAWM since the Last Deglaciation and a marked intensification of the Westerlies during the warm middle Holocene. Under the current global warming scenario, we predict that the Westerlies will continue to dominate dust activities across the NE-QTP, with a potential increase in dust activities if the Westerlies enhance.","PeriodicalId":55089,"journal":{"name":"Global and Planetary Change","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142884634","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Slow earthquakes, common at the shallow and deep plate interface, result from different frictional properties linked to interplate slip deficit accumulation. This study estimates slip deficit rates at the Nankai subduction zone using land and ocean-bottom geodetic data. Previous estimates encountered limitations, often smoothing slip deficits, omitting observational error differences between ocean-floor and land data, and relying on homogeneous structure models. To address these issues, we employ a novel trans-dimensional reversible jump Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithm. This approach dynamically adjusts slip parameters, accommodating data resolution and producing a flexible slip distribution without predetermined spatial constraints. Additionally, it automatically weights data for observational errors and integrates elastic Green functions from a 3D structure of the Nankai region. Our results provide a finer, heterogeneous slip distribution, improving estimates in inland regions. However, limitations remain offshore in areas with sparse data. We revised the spatial distribution of Nankai slow earthquakes and confirmed a good agreement with intermediate slip deficit rates, identifying coupled and uncoupled regions. High slip deficit rates align with rupture areas of historic large earthquakes. Slow earthquakes occur at frictionally weak plate interfaces, and shallow slow earthquakes may result from subducting relief heterogeneities with important pore fluid pressure effects.
