Nighttime sap flow of Acacia mangium and its implications for nighttime transpiration and stem water storage

Aims Nighttime sap flow of trees may indicate transpiration and/or recharge of stem water storage at night. This paper deals with the water use of Acacia mangium at night in the hilly lands of subtropical South China. Our primary goal was to reveal and understand the nature of nighttime sap flow and its functional significance.Methods Granier's thermal dissipation method was used to determine the nighttime sap flux of A. mangium. Gas exchange system was used to estimate nighttime leaf transpiration and stomatal conductance of studied trees.Important findings Nighttime sap flow was substantial and showed seasonal variation similar to the patterns of daytime sap flow in A. mangium. Mean nighttime sap flow was higher in the less precipitation year of 2004 (1122.4 mm) than in the more precipitation year of 2005 (1342.5 mm) since more daytime transpiration and low soil water availability in the relatively dry 2004 can be the cause of more nighttime sap flow. Although vapor pressure deficit and air temperature were significantly correlated with nighttime sap flow, they could only explain a small fraction of the variance in nighttime sap flow. The total accumulated water loss (E L) by transpiration of canopy leaves was only ~2.6–8.5% of the total nighttime sap flow (E t) during the nights of July 17–18 and 18–19, 2006. Therefore, it is likely that the nighttime sap flow was mainly used for refilling water in the trunk. The stem diameter at breast height, basal area and sapwood area explained much more variance of nighttime water recharge than environmental factors and other tree form features, such as tree height, stem length below the branch, and canopy size. The contribution of nighttime water recharge to the total transpiration ranged from 14.7 to 30.3% depending on different DBH class and was considerably higher in the dry season compared to the wet season.     

蚂蚁筑巢对西双版纳热带森林土壤微生物生物量碳及熵的影响

蚂蚁筑巢能够改变热带森林土壤理化环境,从而对土壤微生物生物量碳及熵的时空动态产生重要影响.本研究以西双版纳高檐蒲桃热带森林群落为对象,采用氯仿熏蒸法对蚂蚁巢地和非巢地土壤微生物生物量碳及熵时空动态进行测定.结果表明: 1)蚁巢地平均微生物生物量碳及熵(1.95 g·kg^-1,6.8%)显著高于非巢穴(1.76 g·kg^-1,5.1%);蚁巢地和非蚁巢地土壤微生物生物量碳呈单峰型时间变化趋势,而土壤微生物熵呈“V”型变化格局.2)蚁巢地和非巢地土壤微生物生物量碳及熵均具有明显的垂直变化:微生物生物量碳随土层加深显著降低,微生物熵则沿土层加深显著升高,但蚁巢微生物生物量碳及熵的垂直变化较非巢穴显著. 3)蚂蚁筑巢引起了巢内水分和温度的显著改变,进而影响土壤微生物生物量碳及熵的时空动态.土壤水分分别解释微生物生物量碳及熵的66%～83%和54%～69%,而土壤温度分别解释土壤微生物生物量碳及熵的71%～86%和67%～76%. 4)蚂蚁筑巢引起土壤理化性质变化对土壤微生物生物量碳和熵产生重要影响.蚁巢土壤微生物生物量碳与土壤有机碳、温度、全氮、含水率呈极显著正相关,与容重、硝态氮,水解氮呈显著正相关,与土壤pH呈极显著负相关;除土壤微生物熵与pH呈显著正相关外,与其他土壤理化指标均呈显著负相关.土壤总有机碳、全氮和温度对微生物生物量碳的贡献最大,而土壤总有机碳和全氮对微生物熵的负作用最小.因此,蚂蚁筑巢能够显著改变微生境(如土壤水分与温度)及土壤理化性质(如总有机碳及全氮),进而调控热带森林土壤微生物生物量碳及熵的时空动态.

Organoids in recapitulating tumorigenesis driven by risk factors: Current trends and future perspectives

Environmental and exogenous/ endogenous factors, in a setting of individual genetic predisposition, contribute to the cancer development. Over the years, epidemical evidence increasingly highlights the correlations of multiple cancer incentives and genetic alterations with cancer incidence. Unraveling the pivotal carcinogenesis events prompted by particular risk factors remarkably advances early surveillance and oncogenesis intervening. Traditional cell-based models and animal-based models are unrealistic and unreliable for translational study, respectively ascribing to the limited tumor heterogeneity and species-related variation. Organoid emerged as a fidelity model that well preserves the properties of its origin. With inherent quality of holistic perspective, organoid is therefore ideally suited for delineating the carcinogenesis under risk exposure, in favor of understanding pathogen-host interactions and alleviating cancer initiation. In this review, we have summarized the organoid model-based evidence that identified or validated carcinogenic risks, mainly including diet, aging, microbial infection, and chemical exposure. In addition, we envisioned the exciting prospect of organoid model in screening promising treatment and/or prevention during tumorigenesis. As a robust 3D in vitro system, organoid has been widespread applied in basial and clinical cancer research, which may elucidate crucial mechanisms of oncogenesis and develop novel targeting strategies.
