There is certainly far more to take into account when compared with understanding as well as notion.
rogeneity of the lag-response relationship between temperature and HFMD. Those findings gave us new insights into the complex association and the related mechanisms between weather and HFMD and important information for weather-based disease early warning systems.Towards the Xiaotang region along the northern margin of the China's largest desert, a quantitative assessment of the precision of clear-sky satellite observations (the Single Scanner Footprint TOA/Surface Fluxes and Clouds downward surface shortwave radiation product of Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES), DSSRCER) is conducted, the localized inversion mode of "absolutely clear-sky" downward surface shortwave radiation (DSSR) is established, and the "absolutely clear-sky" DSSR in Xiaotang during 2005-2018 is simulated by the Santa Barbara Discrete Atmospheric Radiative Transfer (SBDART) model. In general, under the "absolutely clear-sky" condition of Xiaotang region, there is a significant error in DSSRCER, and the simulated results of SBDART (DSSRSBD) with same input parameters as DSSRCER is better and more comparable. Single scattering albedo (SSA), asymmetry parameter (ASY) and aerosol optical depth (AOD) play crucial roles in deciding the accuracy of DSSR, and after parameter adjustment, the DSSRSBD is better than the initial, which is improved remarkably with all indexes of the fitting results greatly improved. The temporal variation of the DSSR during 2005-2018 indicates that the highest annual average value is found in 2008 (770.00 W·m-2), while the lowest appears in 2010 (600.97 W·m-2). Besides, the highest seasonal mean DSSR appears in summer, which between 860.6 and 935.07 W·m-2, while reaches the lowest in winter (403.79-587.53 W·m-2). Moreover, the monthly average DSSR changes as a curve with a single peak and is close to normal distribution, the highest appears in June (934.61 W·m-2), while the minimum with the value of 390.34 W·m-2 is found in December. All of the solar elevation angle, the characteristics of climate and aerosol particles in different seasons may contribute to the temporal variation.In this study, three types of constructed wetlands (CWs) (biofilm-attachment-surface-CWs, packed bed-CWs and traditional-CWs) were assembled to comparatively evaluate their ability and mechanism to remove tri-(2-chloroisopropyl) phosphate (TCPP) under continuous flow operation. The removal rate (26%-28%) of TCPP in two types of CWs containing plants was twice as much as that in plant-free CWs in 6-month experiments, and TCPP showed a terminal accumulation phenomenon in Cyperus alternifolius with the order of accumulation of leaf>stem>root. The mass balance indicated that the contributions of filler and hydrophyte absorption to TCPP removal were less than 1%, but the transpiration of hydrophytes may make an important contribution (approximately 10%) to TCPP removal. Species in the genera Massilia, Denitratisoma and SM1A02 may be responsible for TCPP biodegradation. In addition, the effect of TCPP on the metabolic pathways and energy generation in the roots of C. alternifolius suggested that TCPP may be transported and utilized through cellular metabolism.Anthropization of insular ecosystems may have negative impacts on native populations of lizards, which provide core ecosystem services on islands. We aimed to identify environmental factors to explain the interlocal variation in faecal glucocorticoids, parasite intensity, and body condition in populations of insular lizards. A cross-sectional design during the summer of 2017 and 2018 was used to sample 611 adult lizards, Gallotia galloti. Interlocal variation of three stress indicators was analysed in response to environmental variables across a wide environmental gradient in Tenerife (Canary Islands) (i) concentration of faecal glucocorticoids, (ii) intensities of infection by hematic parasites, and (iii) body condition. The data, with low spatial autocorrelation, were analysed using multimodel inference and model cross-validation. Bioclimatic variables associated with the extreme hot and dry climate of summer were the most informative predictors. Interlocal variation in faecal corticosterone in males was becological roles.Plastic pollution is a source of chemical to the environment and wildlife. #link# Despite the ubiquity of plastic pollution and thus plastic additive in the environment, plastic additives have been studied to a limited extend. As a prerequisite to a study aiming to evaluate the leaching of a common additive used as an antioxidant (Irgafos® 168) from polyethylene microparticles, an inventory of the potential background contamination of the laboratory workplace was done. In this study, Irgafos® 168 (tris(2,4-ditert-butylphenyl) phosphite) and its oxidized form (tris (2,4-ditert-butylphenyl) phosphate) were quantified in different laboratory reagents, including the plastic packaging and the powders, using Pyrolysis-GC/MS. At least one form of Irgafos® 168 was detected in all tested laboratory reagents with higher concentrations in caps and bottles as compared to the powders. Additionally, oxidized Irgafos® 168 was also found in the reverse osmosed and deionized water container used in the laboratory. The same profile of contamination, i.e. higher concentration of the oxidized form and higher concentrations in acidic reagents, was observed when comparing the reagent and their respective containers suggesting that the additive is leaching from the container into the powder. Overall, this study demonstrates that the antioxidant additive Irgafos® 168 is ubiquitous in the laboratory workplace. Plastic additives such as Irgafos® 168 can therefore largely interfere and biased ecotoxicological and toxicological studies especially using environmentally relevant concentrations of microplastics. The source, fate and effects of plastic additive from plastic debris should be carefully considered in future studies that require setting up methods to overcome these contaminations.The number of livestock per unit area is commonly used as a proxy of grazing pressure in both experimental studies and grassland management. link2 However, this practice ignores the impact of landform heterogeneity on the spatial distribution of grazing pressure, leading to localized patches of degraded grassland. The spatial distribution of actual grazing density thus needs to be examined. Owing to the corresponding changes in resource availability and energy consumption as livestock move across an elevation gradient, we predict that livestock will preferentially use low-land and that different temporal patterns of grazing pressure will occur in the contrasting landforms. GPS location data and a machine learning technique were used to identify the seasonal pattern and the factors driving grazing pressure on a fenced ranch. Over both low-land and sand-dune landforms, the proportion of time that livestock spent on foraging increased from 63% in July to 67% in August and 69% in September, and non-foraging behavior decreased correspondingly. In low-land, the log-transformed average foraging density significantly increased from 0.61 (i.e., total foraging behaviors in 5 days measured at 50-s intervals per 10 × 10 m grid) in July to 0.66 in August and 0.88 in September, whereas there was no significant change on sand-dunes. From ML 210 to September, the relative area of low-land foraged by cattle accounted for 31%, 35%, and 36%, respectively, and in sand-dunes the proportions increased from 45% to 47% to 51%. In low-land, the foraging density was negatively correlated with biomass (P = .07), total digestible nutrients (P less then .05), and crude protein (P = .06) and positively correlated with acid detergent fiber (P less then .05), whereas no such relationships were observed in sand-dunes. Our results indicate that topographic features should be considered when managing livestock, especially during periods with adverse conditions of herbage quality and quantity.Pollution of aquatic ecosystems by plastic wastes poses severe environmental and health problems and has prompted scientific investigations on the fate and factors contributing to the modification of plastics in the marine environment. Here, we investigated, by means of microcosm studies, the role of hydrocarbon-degrading bacteria in the degradation of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), the main constituents of plastic bottles, in the marine environment. To this aim, different bacterial consortia, previously acclimated to representative hydrocarbons fractions namely, tetradecane (aliphatic fraction), diesel (mixture of hydrocarbons), and naphthalene/phenantrene (aromatic fraction), were used as inocula of microcosm experiments, in order to identify peculiar specialization in poly(ethylene terephthalate) degradation. Upon formation of a mature biofilm on the surface of poly(ethylene terephthalate) films, the bacterial biodiversity and degradation efficiency of each selected consortium was analyzed. Notably, s environment.Catalytic combustion of chlorinated volatile organic compounds (CVOCs) driven by natural sunlight is the promising CVOCs elimination method, which has not been realized. In this work, we designed a new sunlight-driven catalytic system for CVOCs combustion based on a scalable CuMnCeOx gel and a new photothermal conversion device. The CVOCs elimination rate of CuMnCeOx gel was reached to 99% at 250 °C, 25 times higher than that of CuMnCeOx in bulk form. Further, the new photothermal conversion device could heat the CuMnCeOx gel to 300 °C under one standard solar irradiation and this joint showed a stable one standard sunlight-driven CVOCs combustion at the rate of 6.8 mmol g-1 h-1, which was more than 7.8 times higher than the state of the art of photocatalytic CVOCs decomposition. Moreover, the new sunlight-driven thermal catalytic system was able to stable full oxidize the CVOCs in the concentration from 0.1 to 1000 ppm. Therefore, the natural sunlight-driven thermal CVOCs combustion system with high activity and zero secondary pollution shows the potential for large-scale industrial applications.Biochar has been extensively studied as a soil amendment for carbon sequestration and for improving soil quality; however, a systematic understanding of the responses of soil microbial biomass and diversity to biochar addition is lacking. Here, a meta-analysis of 999 paired data points from 194 studies shows that biochar increases microbial biomass but has variable effects on microbial diversity. Generally, the effects of biochar on microbial biomass are dependent on biochar properties, while that on microbial diversity is dependent on soil properties. The application of biochar, particularly that produced under low temperature and from nutrient-rich feedstocks, could better increase soil microbial biomass (based on phospholipid fatty acid analysis (MBCPLFA)) and diversity. The increases of total microbial biomass with biochar addition are greater in the field than in laboratory studies, in sandy than in clay soils, and when measured by fumigation-extraction (MBCFE) than by MBCPLFA. The bacterial biomass only significantly increases in laboratory studies and fungal biomass only in soils with pH ≤ 7.5 and soil organic carbon ≤30 g kg-1. The increases in total microbial diversity with biochar addition were greater in acidic and sandy soils with low soil organic carbon content and in laboratory incubation studies. link3 In addition, long-term and low-rate addition of biochar always increases microbial diversity. To better guide the use of biochar as a soil amendment, we suggest that establishing long-term and field studies, using a standard method for measuring microbial communities, on different soil types should be our emphasis in future research.
