Abstract Terrestrial ecosystems can exhibit various behaviors in response to climate change and human activities. Nonlinear abrupt shifts are particularly important as they indicate substantial modifications ecosystem structure function, posing a threat the provision of services. Here we distinguish between linear, curvilinear, productivity from 2000 2020 China's Loess Plateau. We utilize spatial Random Forest models analyze driving factors behind these patterns. Our findings that 84.1%...
Abstract Spring vegetation phenology (green‐up onset date, GUD) exhibits notable sensitivity to climate change, serving as a critical indicator of ecosystem dynamics. However, long‐term changes and drivers GUD remain unclear. Here we showed that satellite‐derived averaged over China forests grasslands advanced by −1.3 ± 0.4 (mean SD) days decade −1 during 1982–2022, but with contrasting trends between (−5.0 0.6 ) (2.8 ), despite similarly increasing temperature precipitation. Such were...
Abstract Changes in heat and moisture significantly co-alter ecosystem functioning. However, knowledge on dynamics of responses to climate change is limited. Here, we quantify long-term sensitivity based weighted ratios vegetation productivity variability multiple variables from satellite observations, greater values which indicate more yields per hydrothermal condition change. Our results show exhibits large spatial increases with the aridity index. A positive temporal trend found 61.28%...
Abstract The multifunctionality and sustainability of ecosystems are strongly dependent on their ability to withstand recover from disturbances—that is, ecosystem resilience (ER). However, the dynamics attributes ER remain largely unknown, especially in China, where climatic anthropogenic pressures high. In this study, we evaluated spatiotemporal patterns China 2001 2020 using solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence. We estimated relative independent importance climate change, CO 2 , factors...
Four different colored beans (white, red, pinto, and black beans) were investigated for factors affecting iron bioavailability using an in vitro digestion/human Caco-2 cell model. Iron from whole beans, dehulled their hulls was determined. The results show that white contained higher levels of bioavailable compared to beans. These differences not due bean-iron bean-phytate concentrations. Flavonoids the bean found be contributing low non-white White no detectable flavonoids but did contain...

Wines made from 3 spine grape (Vitis davidii Foex) genotypes-Junzi 1# (JZ 1#), Junzi 2# 2#), and Liantang (LT)-and Cherokee rose (Rosa laevigata Michx., CR) were evaluated for their phenolics composition antioxidant activities by several assays, including 2,2'-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt (ABTS scavenging capacity, cupric ion reducing metal-chelating capacity). The results showed that CR wine had higher contents of total phenolics, flavonoids, oligomeric...
The carotenoids accumulated by a mutant Rhodospirillum rubrum ST4, containing single Tn5 lesion in the pathway for carotenoid biosynthesis, were analyzed HPLC, 1H NMR spectroscopy, and field desorption mass spectrometry. main was identified as 3,4,3',4'-tetrahydrospirilloxanthin, four minor rhodopin, 3,4-dihydroanhydrorhodovibrin, 3',4'-dihydrorhodovibrin, 1,1'-dihydroxylycopene. C-3,4 C-3',4' bonds of all 5 are saturated, they have 11 conjugated double bonds. With exception which is normal...
A molecular thermodynamic theory is developed for polyampholytes from the coarse-grained charged hard-sphere chain model. The phase behavior of with variations in sequence and length satisfactorily predicted by theory, consistent simulation results experimental observations. At a fixed length, envelope expands as charge distribution becomes less random. With increasing diblock random polyampholytes, but shrinks zwitterionic polyampholytes. critical temperature, density, pressure exhibit...
Plant cuticle as hydrophobic barrier covers almost all aerial plant organs. Herein the cuticular chemical components and transpiration of various organs Chinese flowering cabbage (CFC) kale (CK) were comprehensively characterized. Numerous species- organ-specific differences in morphological, chemical, physiological levels found. The relatively smooth surface for CFC but glaucous with hollow tube- plate-type crystals CK. composition waxes very-long chain n-alkanes, ketones, secondary...
Since cassava is a crop targeted for biofortification, we studied the relationship between iron content and bioavailability in three varieties. Phenolic compounds, ascorbic acid, carotenoids, valence of myo-inositol hexakisphosphate (IP6) were also measured. The vitro digestion/Caco-2 model was used to assess bioavailable iron. Cassava several traditional dishes that are represented by two preparations; cooked (e.g. soups, be fried, or covered with salsa) bread flour dried grinded further as...
