To investigate the effect of volatile of banana bud on the behavior of <i>F. occidentalis</i>, we utilized Y-tube olfactometer to assess the behavioral responses of <i>F. occidentalis</i> to different tissues of banana flower buds. We further analyzed the volatile of bracts of flower bud by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), to select and test the relatively high abundant compound. We determined their behavioral effect on <i>F. occidentalis</i> by conducting an activity experiment in rose garden. The results showed that flower stamen and pistil, as well as young fruit had an attractive effect on <i>F. occidentalis</i>, with relative selection rates of 37.3% and 35.8% respectively. The bracts exhibited a strong repellent effect, with a relative selection rate of -68.6%. Among the 35 volatile compounds detected from the bracts, eight compounds had a relative content more than 1%, accounting for 61.6% of the total. They were α-pinene (16.8%), β-pinene (14.6%), D-limonene (7.9%), DL-limonene (7.9%), ocimene (6.4%), β-caryophyllene (4.8%), 1,8-cineole (4.1%), and γ-terpinene (1.0%).

Other SOC components were co-regulated by both biological and physiochemical factors. Partial least squares path modeling further demonstrated that stand age directly influenced POC and indirectly modulated all SOC components by mediating soil physicochemical and microbial characteristics. In all, our findings suggested that there were distinct age-dependent patterns in SOC components in <i>C. japonica</i> plantation and their vertical stratification were driven by stand age-associated changes in soil microbial and physiochemical properties.

By using indices such as Shannon diversity, Margalef richness, Pielou evenness and relative importance index, as well as redundancy analysis, we compared the responses of alpha diversity, growth cycle, biomass spatiotemporal patterns of macroalgae to environmental factors in both raft culture area and control area. The results showed that a total of 61 macroalgae species were collected in the raft culture area, belonging to 13 orders, 25 families, and 31 genera.

The results indicated that the Hulun Lake Basin experienced significant changes in land use distribution during 1990-2020. The area of cultivated land, forest, bare land, and built-up land increased, while the area of grassland, water, and wetlands decreased. Total carbon storage in the basin increased by 1.48×10<sup>7</sup> t, with a growth rate of 1.0%.

Carbon storage in the basin exhibited significant spatial heterogeneity, with higher carbon storage areas mainly distributed in the eastern hilly areas of the basin and lower carbon storage areas mainly located in the northeastern part of the basin and around Hulun Lake. The spatial differentiation showed a strong coupling relationship with land use patterns. Under the four scenarios for 2030, including natural development, urban development, cropland protection, and ecological conservation,carbon storage in the Hulun Lake Basin showed an increasing trend, with the ecological conservation scena-rio demonstrating the most significant growth of 6.19×10<sup>6</sup> t and a growth rate of 0.4%. Our findings would provide important references for optimizing land use pattern and enhancing carbon storage capacity in the Hulun Lake Basin.</p>","PeriodicalId":35942,"journal":{"name":"应用生态学报","volume":"36 4","pages":"1159-1170"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144081103","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We established two drought indices (crop evapotranspiration-effective preci-pitation index (CEEP) and water deficit index (WDI)) based on meteorological parameters and crop growth-related data during growing season. The performance of those two indices was compared with that of four widely used ones, <i>i.e.</i>, percentage of precipitation anomaly (PA), moisture index (MI), standardized precipitation index (SPI), and standardized precipitation evapotranspiration index (SPEI). We further used the six indices to analyze the characteristics of typical drought events in the winter wheat region of North China and the spring maize region of Northeast China, as well as the spatiotemporal variations of droughts from 1979 to 2018. The results showed that CEEP and WDI effectively captured crop water scarcity and drought characteristics, and WDI was identified as the optimal drought index in more than one-third of provinces, mainly concentrated in Northeast and North China. In terms of temporal variation, based on the WDI, there was no significant trend of drought events in the winter wheat region in North China and the spring maize region in Northeast China. In terms of spatial variation, the performance of the drought indices differed. In the winter wheat zone of North China, PA, MI, and SPI detected more wetting characteristics, while SPEI, CEEP, and WDI detected more drying characteristics. In the spring maize zone of Northeast China, the indices performed more consistency, with wetting trends observed in Suihua, Daqing, and Hegang while drying trends in western part of Jilin and Liaoning, southern Liaoning, western Heilongjiang, and southern Sanjiang Plain. WDI was suitable for crop water deficit analysis in Northeast and North China and could accurately reflect the spatial distribution of drying or wetting trends, which would provide support for water resource management and decision-making in agricultural production.</p>","PeriodicalId":35942,"journal":{"name":"应用生态学报","volume":"36 4","pages":"1135-1146"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144081107","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
