Low-carbon development has recently become a growing trend in agricultural modernization. It will provide beneficial guidance for exploring driving factors of agricultural carbon emissions in Hebei Province, a typical agricultural region, and formulate relevant policy on its reduction. Calculating carbon emissions in Hebei from 1995 to 2014 demonstrated that energy and land use accounted for more than 90% of agricultural carbon emissions, and there was an increasing tendency overall with a peak value in 2010 and, to a certain extent lately, a slight decline. This paper employed transformed Kaya identity in light of local actual conditions for selecting eight influencing factors. Meanwhile, the extended STIRPAT model and ridge regression were used to make regression analysis. Results showed that contributing factors were efficiency, agricultural import, urbanization, agricultural mechanization, and population, whose 1% increase caused 0.1852%, 0.1663%, 0.1597%, 0.1573%, and 0.1329% increases in carbon emissions, respectively, while 1% growth in industry structure and agricultural affluence were responsible for 0.1475%, and changing the elastic coefficient of (0.1314-0.2958lnA)% decrease in carbon emissions, respectively, where A represented agricultural output value per capita. Furthermore, there existed an inverted U-shaped EKC between economic progress and carbon emissions. Given the above conclusions, policy recommendations were provided for effectively achieving agricultural carbon emissions reductions.
In this study, the effects of salicylic acid to antioxidative activity and photosynthetic characteristics in waterlogging stress of two peony cultivars (‘Fengdanbai’ and ‘Mingxing’) were investigated. 4-year-old peony grown in different levels of waterlogging stress and then different concentration prepared SA (0.0, 0.1, 0.5 and 1.0 mmol L⁻¹) sprayed on fresh leaves of peony. The antioxidative enzymes activities include superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase (POD) and catalase (CAT), chlorophyll content, relative conductivity and MDA content were measured in leaves about different waterlogging treatment, the photosynthetic characteristics were also measured using photosynthetic measurement system. The results showed that waterlogging stress decreased the chlorophyll content in all peony cultivars leaves, but with SA treatment can inhibit the decrease of chlorophyll content. Relative conductivity increased as the extension of waterlogging time in two cultivars. SA treatment could effectively inhibit the increase of relative conductivity, and 0.5 mmol L⁻¹ of SA was the most suitable concentration. SOD, POD, CAT activity increased first and then decreased in different waterlogging condition, SA significantly increased the activity of various enzymes. MDA content was increase as the expansion of waterlogging time in two cultivars. SA inhibits the increase of MDA content. Of all concentration of SA, 0.5 mmol L⁻¹ was the best concentration to inhibit the waterlogging stress. For the photosynthetic characteristics, the net assimilation rate (Pn), stomatal conductance (Gs), transpiration rate (Tr) and intercellular CO₂ (Ci) were decreased under different waterlogging condition. SA treatment can increase Pn, Gs, Tr and Ci of peony.
Brachypodium distachyon (Brachypodium) is not only a monocot grass species, but also a promising model organism of crop research. In this study, the drought resistance of four Brachypodium varieties was identified including drought stress-tolerant Bd1-1 and Bd21, drought stress-susceptible Bd3-1 and Bd18-1. Physiological assay showed that drought-tolerant varieties (Bd1-1 and Bd21) were more effective in maintenance of leaf water content, activation of catalase and peroxidase activities and accumulation of reduced glutathione, resulting in alleviated cell damage and lower reactive oxygen species level than drought-susceptible varieties (Bd3-1 and Bd18-1) in response to drought stress. In addition, 54 primary metabolites were differentially regulated among Brachypodium varieties and after drought stress treatment, indicating the complexity of Brachypodium response to drought stress. We also identified several commonly regulated metabolites especially some compatible solutes including proline and soluble sugars, which exhibited higher concentrations in the drought-tolerant varieties. Taken together, this study suggested that natural variation of Brachypodium varieties in response to drought stress might be connected with higher leaf water, enhanced accumulation of osmolyte and more effective antioxidant system, as well as the modulation of metabolic profiles under drought stress conditions.
Wind erosion is one of the major environmental problems in semi-arid and arid regions. Here we established a transect from northwest (Tariat, Mongolia) to southeast (Xilingol, Inner Mongolia of China) across the Mongolian Plateau, and selected eight sampling sites along the transect. We then estimated the soil wind erosion rates by using the 137Cs tracing technique and examined their spatial dynamics. In the Mongolia section (from Tariat to Sainshand), the wind erosion rate increased gradually with vegetation type and climatic regimes; the wind erosion process was controlled by physical factors such as annual precipitation and vegetation coverage, etc. While in the China section (Inner Mongolia), the wind erosion rates of Xilinhot, Zhengxiangbai Banner and Taipusi Banner were thrice as much as those of Bayannur of Mongolia, although these four sites were all dominated by typical steppe. Besides the physical factors, higher population density and livestock carrying level should be responsible for the higher wind erosion rates in these regions of Inner Mongolia.
Wetland protection, floral and faunal resource management, and habitat migration are all concerns for the ecological risk of wetland landscapes. Indices of landscape-scale ecological risks have the potential to influence changes in landscape patterns, the conditions of endangered plants and animals, and influences from nature and humans. Semi-variation function and gravity center models were used to quantify risk area changes. The changes of landscape ecological risk were analyzed for Bayanbulak Wetland from 2000 to 2010. In addition to landscape and species distribution data, GIS technology and remote sensing were used in this study. Results show that landscape structure changed over the 10-year period, with high-cover grassland area decreasing the most. Landscape pattern index types also changed for the study area. The number of landscapetype patches to low-cover grassland decreased, the landscape fragmentation index of dry land and high-cover grassland was reduced, and the interference degree of middle-cover grassland increased over the study period. The index of landscape ecological risk decreased from 2000 to 2010, with the spatial structure changing from a single center concentration to a multi-center distribution. All varying ecological risk regions of gravity centers moved from the northeast to the southwest. The gravity migration of the Level 2 region moved the furthest. Additionally, evidence suggests that various threatening factors reduce the ecological function and systems of wetlands. These include climate change, biological invasion, human activities, and water pollution. This paper assesses the heritage site landscape ecological risk and calculates the gravity center change of the region, which can be formulated to enrich and develop the research of small- and medium-sized wetlands in cold, semi-arid climates.
At present, overseas and domestic eco-security early warning research is in the exploratory stage. This paper uses Kizilsu Kirghiz Autonomous Prefecture as the research object and constructs an evaluation index system based on the pressure-state-response (P-S-R) conceptual model. This study analyzes eco-security early warning in the study area using the granger causality test model, the entropy weight method, and the matter-element model, and analyzes the present eco-security situation and future development trends in the study area. The author hopes that this study can further enrich eco-security early warning research and provide a scientific reference for ecological security in the study area. The specific research results were as follows: 1) This article evaluated the plateau mountain ecological security early warning system, and the application of the Granger causality test was further implemented with targeted and objective index system selection, achieving a one-to-one analysis in the results and further enriching the research theory of the importance of eco-security early warning systems. 2) On the whole, the eco-security situation in the study area is gradually moving in a positive direction, but the low level of overall eco-security continues to cause great pressure. 3) From 2005 to 2014, the study area gradually attached greater importance to the construction of ecosecurity, but the overall eco-security level is low, and the overall eco-security regulation capacity is insufficient. 4) The key eco-security pressure in the study area mainly derives from industrial and agricultural development, although the control power is gradually increasing, but the control effect is not obvious, and the contradiction between ecological security and socio-economic development is still very obvious. 5) The study area is a typical earthquake-prone area, and fi nancial input into the governance of natural geological disasters due to the high frequency of earthquakes is gradually increasing; but the study area still needs to increase its investments.
PTPN4 is a widely expressed non-receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase. Although its overexpression inhibits cell growth, the proteins with which it interacts to regulate cell growth are unknown. In this study, we identified CrkI as a PTPN4-interacting protein using a yeast two-hybrid, and confirmed this interaction using in vitro GST pull-down and co-immunoprecipitation and co-localization assays. We further determined the interactional regions as the SH3 domain of CrkI and the proline-rich region between amino acids 462 and 468 of PTPN4. Notably, overexpression of PTPN4 inhibits CrkI-mediated proliferation and wound healing of HEK293T cells, while knockdown of PTPN4 by siRNA in Hep3B cells enhances CrkI-mediated cell growth and motility. Moreover, our data show that ectopic expression of PTPN4 reduces the phosphorylation level of CrkI in HEK293T cells. These findings suggest that PTPN4 negatively regulates cell proliferation and motility through dephosphorylation of CrkI.
