| 1 | Further analyses of variation of ribosome DNA copy number and polymorphism in ciliates provide insights relevant to studies of both molecular ecology and phylogeny显示文摘Sequence-based approaches, such as analyses of ribosome DNA(rDNA) clone libraries and high-throughput amplicon sequencing, have been used extensively to infer evolutionary relationships and elucidate the biodiversity in microbial communities.However, recent studies demonstrate both r DNA copy number variation and intra-individual(intra-genomic) sequence variation in many organisms, which challenges the application of the rDNA-based surveys. In ciliates, an ecologically important clade of microbial eukaryotes, rDNA copy number and sequence variation are rarely studied. In the present study, we estimate the intraindividual small subunit rDNA(SSU r DNA) copy number and sequence variation in a wide range of taxa covering nine classes and 18 orders of the phylum Ciliophora. Our studies reveal that:(i) intra-individual sequence variation of SSU rDNA is ubiquitous in all groups of ciliates detected and the polymorphic level varies among taxa;(ii) there is a most common version of SSU rDNA sequence in each cell that is highly predominant and may represent the germline micronuclear template;(iii)compared with the most common version, other variant sequences differ in only 1–3 nucleotides, likely generated during macronuclear(somatic) amplification;(iv) the intra-cell sequence variation is unlikely to impact phylogenetic analyses;(v) the rDNA copy number in ciliates is highly variable, ranging from 103 to 106, with the highest record in Stentor roeselii. Overall,these analyses indicate the need for careful consideration of SSU r DNAvariation in analyses of the role of ciliates in ecosystems. | Yurui Wang Chundi Wang Yaohan Jiang Laura A.Katz Feng Gao Ying Yan | 2019 | Science China(Life Sciences)2019,62,2: | 7 |
| 2 | Changes in plant debris and carbon stocks across a subalpine forest successional series显示文摘Background:As a structurally and functionally important component in forest ecosystems,plant debris plays a crucial role in the global carbon cycle.Although it is well known that plant debris stocks vary greatly with tree species composition,forest type,forest origin,and stand age,simultaneous investigation on the changes in woody and non-woody debris biomass and their carbon stock with forest succession has not been reported.Therefore,woody and non-woody debris and carbon stocks were investigated across a subalpine forest successional gradient in Wanglang National Nature Reserve on the eastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.Results:Plant debris ranged from 25.19 to 82.89 Mg∙ha−1 and showed a global increasing tendency across the subalpine forest successional series except for decreasing at the S4 successional stage.Accordingly,the ratios of woody to non-woody debris stocks ranged from 26.58 to 208.89,and the highest and lowest ratios of woody to non-woody debris stocks were respectively observed in mid-successional coniferous forest and shrub forest,implying that woody debris dominates the plant debris.In particular,the ratios of coarse to fine woody debris stocks varied greatly with the successional stage,and the highest and lowest ratios were found in later and earlier successional subalpine forests,respectively.Furthermore,the woody debris stock varied greatly with diameter size,and larger diameter woody debris dominated the plant debris.Correspondingly,the carbon stock of plant debris ranged from 10.30 to 38.87 Mg∙ha−1 across the successional series,and the highest and lowest values were observed in the mid-coniferous stage and shrub forest stage,respectively.Most importantly,the carbon stored in coarse woody debris in later successional forests was four times higher than in earlier successional forests.Conclusions:The stock and role of woody debris,particularly coarse woody debris,varied greatly with the forest successional stage and dominated the carbon cycle in the subalpine forest ecosystem.Thus,preserving coarse woody debris is a critical strategy for sustainable forest management. | Zhihui Wang Lianjun Zhao Yi Bai Fei Li Jianfeng Hou Xuqing Li Yurui Jiang Yuyue Deng Bingqian Zheng Wanqin Yang | 2021 | Forest Ecosystems2021,8,3: | 0 |
| 3 | Effects of forest canopy density and epixylic vegetation on nutrient concentrations in decaying logs of a subalpine fir forest显示文摘Background:Deadwood and the associated epixylic vegetation influence nutrient cycles in forest ecosystems.Open canopies strongly regulate deadwood decomposition and disrupt epixylic vegetation on logs.However,it is unclear how the forest canopy density and epixylic vegetation growth affect the nutrient concentrations in deadwood.Methods:We measured the concentrations of nitrogen(N),phosphorus(P),potassium(K),calcium(Ca),sodium(Na),magnesium(Mg),and manganese(Mn)in experimentally exposed decaying logs placed in gaps,at the edge of gaps,and under the closed canopy during a four-year decomposition experiment in a Subalpine Faxon fir forest(Abies fargesii var.faxoniana)on the eastern Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau,China.To assess the effect of the epixylic vegetation,we experimentally removed it from half of the logs used in the study.Results:Under open canopy conditions in the gap and at the edge,the concentrations for most of the nutrients in the bark and the highly decayed wood were lower than under the closed canopy.The effect of the epixylic treatment on nutrient concentrations for all but K and Na in barks varied with the decay classes.Significantly lower concentrations of N,P,Ca,and Mn following the removal of epixylic vegetation were observed in the wood of decay class IV.Epixylic vegetation significantly increased most nutrient concentrations for decaying barks and wood under open canopy conditions.In contrast,epixylic vegetation had no or minimal effects under the closed canopy.Conclusions:Forest canopy density and epixylic vegetation significantly alter the nutrient concentrations in decaying logs.Open canopies likely accelerate the rate of nutrient cycling between the epixylic vegetation and decaying logs in subalpine forests. | Zhuang Wang Wanqin Yang Bo Tan Qin Wang Lifeng Wang Chenhui Chang Rui Cao Yurui Jiang Jörg Müller | 2022 | Forest Ecosystems2022,9,5: | 0 |
