Abstract Since 1999, the Loess Plateau, China, has undergone one of world's largest revegetation programs (Grain for Green Project, GfGP). Revegetation profound impacts on hydrological cycle and water balance, especially in arid semi‐arid areas. As an essential component long‐term change storage ( ΔS ) is generally treated as zero. However, it remains unclear how to define time scale “long‐term,” over regions undergoing dramatic vegetation restoration. In this study, we quantify Plateau from...

Abstract Afforestation is an appropriate approach to control soil erosion, but consumes extra water resources. It also exerts feedbacks on local precipitation, affecting the availability for water‐limited areas. The Chinese Loess Plateau (LP) has implemented world's largest afforestation program mitigate severe erosion. However, it remains unclear how atmospheric cycle responds large‐scale under climate change. Here we show that elevates precipitation in rainy season by intensifying over LP....

MicroRNA (miRNA)-25 is a small non-coding RNA that has been implicated in the tumorigenesis of many cancers, but little known on role miR-25 HCC metastasis. We hereby found was significantly upregulated clinical tissues compared with normal liver tissues. also revealed dramatically stimulates cell growth and activates epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). MiR-25 activated by WNT/β-catenin signaling pathway, exerts its pro-metastatic function directly inhibiting Rho GDP dissociation...

Abstract Land use and land cover change (LUCC) can influence the regional atmospheric water budget. In this study, Weather Research Forecasting model embedded with evapotranspiration (ET)‐tagging (WRF‐tagging) is used to investigate pathways of ET as well where what extent returns precipitation (P) in agro‐pastoral ecotone northern China (APENC). First, we updated default vegetation indices WRF‐tagging high‐resolution real‐time datasets. modeling reproduces spatial distribution P reasonably...

Bathymetry and gravity data obtained during a detailed Hydrosweep survey of the southern East Pacific Rise from 7°S to 9°S are used investigate isostasy at axis fast spreading mid‐ocean ridge. In particular, we examine manner in which bathymetric crestal high is supported how this support varies along within 160‐km‐long 7°12'S‐8°38'S ridge segment. The stands about 400 m above adjacent flanks has nearly constant minimum axial depth for distance 140 km. summit broad flat, an caldera present...

Abstract Afforestation is a major anthropogenic forcing to the global and regional climate. However, biophysical impacts of large‐scale afforestation on local temperature in temperate regions remain unclear, due closely matched but compensating radiative non‐radiative effects. The Grain for Green Program (GFGP) program implemented over Loess Plateau (LP) China. GFGP thus provides an ideal platform explore effect afforestation. This study investigated such through long‐term, high‐resolution...

Numerical weather- and climate prediction models rely on soil data to accurately model land surface processes. However, as are produced using profiles maps with multiple sources of uncertainty, wide discrepancies prevail in global datasets. Comparison four commonly used datasets Earth system models, i.e., Food Agriculture Organization data, Harmonized World Soil Database, Global Dataset for System Model, gridded information SoilGrids, yields widespread differences southern Africa. This study...

Regional weather and climate models play a crucial role in understanding representing the regional water cycle, yet accuracy of soil data significantly affects their reliability.In this study, we employ fully coupled Weather Research Forecasting Hydrological Modeling system (WRF-Hydro) to assess how hydrophysical properties influence land-atmosphere coupling cycle over southern Africa region.We utilize four widely-used global datasets, including default for model from Food Agriculture...

Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) is used worldwide in solvents and plasticizers. The cytotoxicity potential tumorigenic effect of DBP have been reported. has also shown to impact reproductive function. In this study, further evaluate the effects on granulosa cells (GCs), we treated rat GCs vitro with before evaluation biological alterations these GCs. We found that did not induce significant GC death at tested concentrations. However, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)-induced KIT ligand (KITLG)...

Abstract From 1998 to the present, Chinese government has implemented numerous large-scale ecological programs restore ecosystems and improve environmental protection in agro-pastoral ecotone of Northern China (APENC). However, it remains unclear how vegetation restoration modulates intraregional moisture cycles changes regional water balance. To fill this gap, we first investigated variation precipitation (P) from Meteorological Forcing Dataset evapotranspiration (ET) estimated using...

Evapotranspiration (ET) estimation is important for understanding energy exchanges and water cycles. Remote sensing (RS) the main method used to obtain ET data over large scales. However, owing surface heterogeneities different model algorithms, estimated from RS products with spatial resolutions can cause significant uncertainties, whose causes need be thoroughly analyzed. In this study, Surface Energy Balance Algorithm Land (SEBAL) was selected explore resolution influences on simulations....

Abstract. Soil hydraulic properties (SHPs) and soil moisture (SM) are fundamental to describing predicting water energy cycles at the land surface, for regulating evapotranspiration, infiltration runoff. However, information about these from existing datasets is often scarce inaccurate high cold mountainous areas such as Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP), which hampers our understanding of hydrological cycle processes over large like QTP. Based on profile data depths 5 cm 25 238 sampling sites, 32...
