RESUMO
Northern East Asia was inhabited by modern humans as early as 40 thousand years ago (ka), as demonstrated by the Tianyuan individual. Using genome-wide data obtained from 25 individuals dated to 33.6-3.4 ka from the Amur region, we show that Tianyuan-related ancestry was widespread in northern East Asia before the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). At the close of the LGM stadial, the earliest northern East Asian appeared in the Amur region, and this population is basal to ancient northern East Asians. Human populations in the Amur region have maintained genetic continuity from 14 ka, and these early inhabitants represent the closest East Asian source known for Ancient Paleo-Siberians. We also observed that EDAR V370A was likely to have been elevated to high frequency after the LGM, suggesting the possible timing for its selection. This study provides a deep look into the population dynamics of northern East Asia.

Microorganisms are crucial components of freshwater ecosystems. Understanding the microbial community assembly processes and niche characteristics in freshwater ecosystems, which are poorly understood, is crucial for evaluating microbial ecological roles. The Yunnan Plateau lakes in China represent a freshwater ecosystem that is experiencing eutrophication due to anthropogenic activities. Here, variation in the assembly and niche characteristics of both prokaryotic and microeukaryotic communities was explored in Yunnan Plateau lakes across two seasons (dry season and rainy season) to determine the impacts of rainfall and environmental conditions on the microbial community and niche. The results showed that the environmental heterogeneity of the lakes decreased in the rainy season compared to the dry season. The microbial (bacterial and microeukaryotic) α-diversity significantly decreased during the rainy season. Deterministic processes were found to dominate microbial community assembly in both seasons. ß-Diversity decomposition analysis revealed that microbial community compositional dissimilarities were dominated by species replacement processes. The co-occurrence networks indicated reduced species complexity for microbes and a destabilized network for prokaryotes prior to rainfall, while the opposite was found for microeukaryotes following rainfall. Microbial niche breadth decreased significantly in the rainy season. In addition, lower prokaryotic niche overlap, but greater microeukaryotic niche overlap, was observed after rainfall. Rainfall and environmental conditions significantly affected the microbial community assembly and niche characteristics. It can be concluded that rainfall and external pollutant input during the seasonal transition alter the lake environment, thereby regulating the microbial community and niche in these lakes. Our findings offer new insight into microbiota assembly and niche patterns in plateau lakes, further deepening the understanding of freshwater ecosystem functioning.

Many cases of an unknown disease exhibiting the clinical features of limb gangrene, blisters, ulceration, and exfoliation have been reported in Daping village (DV) in southwestern China. However, the pathogenesis is unknown and has puzzled doctors for many years. A preliminary study on heavy metals and symptoms indicated that arsenic might pose the greatest threat to the health of local residents. Here, to explore the sources of and factors influencing arsenic enrichment in DV, whose residents exhibit signs of arsenic poisoning, the As contents in soil, water, and plants were systematically measured. The results indicated high As contents in plant and soil samples obtained from the area, and the source of As may be linked to the weathering of black shale rock. Ingestion of soil and consumption of plants were the two main As exposure pathways among children and adults, respectively, and children exhibited a higher health risk than adults. We presume and emphasize that when extreme drought events occur, humans might face unusual risks resulting from exposure to toxic elements and the direct consumption of highly polluted water. Our study provides a new perspective and sheds light on the environmental geochemistry and health links of this disease.

The water level of Lake Qinghai, the largest lake on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, has increased continuously, at an average speed of 0.21 m per year since 2005, causing a rapid expansion of the lake area. We investigated the hydrological processes of Lake Qinghai and the surrounding watershed that have influenced water level and lake area from 1956 to 2019. Relationships among water level, climate change and human activities were also assessed. Water level and lake area were positively correlated with precipitation and runoff into the lake, and negatively correlated with evaporation. Climate change factors including precipitation and runoff were the primary causes of lake level change, whereas human activities, including variation in a human footprint index, land use, and grassland irrigation, were secondary factors. A time series model forecasted that from 2020 to 2050 water levels will increase further by 2.45 m. Although this increase in water level may have some benefits, such as reduced local desertification, the expansion of lake area will continue to flood low beaches, pasture lands, near shore infrastructure and roads, and impact tourism locations. However, continued water level rise may also have negative ecological effects, such as reduce habitat of seasonal birds and reduced water quality due to erosion and sediment resuspension in shallow nearshore lake areas. Local stakeholders, government authorities, and scientists should give greater attention to anticipated changes in water level, and further ecological studies and infrastructure adaptation measures should be implemented.

Numerous studies support that biodiversity predict most to ecosystem functioning, but whether other factors display a more significant direct impact on ecosystem functioning than biodiversity remains to be studied. We investigated 398 samples of the phytoplankton phosphorus resource use efficiency (RUEP = chlorophyll-a concentration/dissolved phosphate) across two seasons in nine plateau lakes in Yunnan Province, China. We identified the main contributors to phytoplankton RUEP and analyzed their potential influences on RUEP at different lake trophic states. The results showed that total nitrogen (TN) contributed the most to RUEP among the nine lakes, whereas community turnover (measured as community dissimilarity) explained the most to RUEP variation across the two seasons. Moreover, TN also influenced RUEP by affecting biodiversity. Species richness (SR), functional attribute diversity (FAD2), and dendrogram-based functional diversity (FDc) were positively correlated with RUEP in both seasons, while evenness was negatively correlated with RUEP at the end of the rainy season. We also found that the effects of biodiversity and turnover on RUEP depended on the lake trophic states. SR and FAD2 were positively correlated with RUEP in all three trophic states. Evenness showed a negative correlation with RUEP at the eutrophic and oligotrophic levels, but a positive correlation at the mesotrophic level. Turnover had a negative influence on RUEP at the eutrophic level, but a positive influence at the mesotrophic and oligotrophic levels. Overall, our results suggested that multiple factors and nutrient states need to be considered when the ecosystem functioning predictors and the biodiversity-ecosystem functioning relationships are investigated.

The relationship between the environment and human activities during Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 4 is important for understanding the origins of modern humans (Homo sapiens) in East Asia, an area where various hypotheses of human origins have been vigorously debated over the past three decades. Unfortunately, only a handful of Paleolithic sites date to MIS 4 in East Asia, hampering our understanding of how environmental changes affected human activities during this time period. Here, we used stratigraphic correlation analysis and optically stimulated luminescence to date the Loufangzi site, an important Paleolithic site in North China that has had an unreliable chronology. Pollen analysis, grain size, and magnetic susceptibility were also used to reconstruct environmental conditions at the Loufangzi site area. Our results show that (1) the age of the upper culture layer of the Loufangzi site is bracketed between â¼70 ka and â¼60 ka and dates to MIS 4 and (2) the regional vegetation from MIS 5 to MIS 4 to MIS 3 was mainly dominated by forest steppe, desert steppe/desert, and steppe, respectively, indicating harsh environmental conditions during MIS 4. Combined with the discovery of Mousterian-like scrapers in the upper culture layer of MIS 4, our results challenge the view that the area was unsuitable for human survival during the Last Glacial period and instead suggest that humans used new technologies to increase their resilience to the cooling climate.

Recent advancements in the application of lipid biomarkers as paleoenvironmental indicators have provided invaluable insights into the dynamics of climatic variations, vegetative histories, and anthropogenic impacts. However, our current understanding of nitrogen-containing lipid biomarkers (NCLBs) in sedimentary deposits remains limited, notwithstanding their potential significance in global nitrogen cycling. To bridge this research gap, a comprehensive study was conducted to characterize the distribution patterns of n-alkyl amides (NAAs) and n-alkyl nitriles (NANs) in representative paleo-lake and loess sedimentary profiles from the arid region of northwestern China (NWC). The widespread occurrence of these NCLBs across late Quaternary strata, with distinct distribution patterns observed in various settings, suggests their formation under diverse environmental conditions. The prevalence of NAAs in arid sedimentary deposits can primarily be attributed to the diverse array of local biota, including vascular plants, algae, and fungi, rather than being solely associated with biomass burning, as commonly assumed. Furthermore, the distribution patterns of NANs closely align with those of NAAs, indicating their formation through thermally induced dehydration of precursor NAAs. Both groups of NCLBs exhibit significant preservation potential in sediments within NWC, which is believed to be intimately linked to the region's arid and cold climate as well as its neutral or weakly alkaline depositional setting. These findings underscore the prospective use of NAAs as indicators of environmental changes and NANs as potential markers of past fire-related activities, making them valuable tools for paleoenvironmental reconstructions of late Quaternary strata, especially in arid, cold, and weakly alkaline regions.
RESUMO
Laboratory measurements, paleontological data, and well-logs are often used to conduct mineralogical and chemical analyses to classify rock samples. Employing digital intelligence techniques may enhance the accuracy of classification predictions while simultaneously speeding up the whole classification process. We aim to develop a comprehensive approach for categorizing igneous rock types based on their global geochemical characteristics. Our strategy integrates advanced clustering, classification, data mining, and statistical methods employing worldwide geochemical data set of ~25,000 points from 15 igneous rock types. In this pioneering study, we employed hierarchical clustering, linear projection analysis, and multidimensional scaling to determine the frequency distribution and oxide content of igneous rock types globally. The study included eight classifiers: Logistic Regression (LR), Gradient Boosting (GB), Random Forest (RF), K-nearest Neighbors (KNN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Artificial Neural Network (ANN), and two ensemble-based classifier models, EN-1 and EN-2. EN-1 consisted of LR, GB, and RF aggregates, whereas EN-2 comprised the predictions of all ML models used in our study. The accuracy of EN-2 was 99.2 %, EN-1 achieved 98 %, while ANN yielded 98.2 %. EN-2 provided the best performance with highest initial curve for longest time on the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Based on the ranking features, SiO2 was deemed most important followed by K2O and Na2O. Our findings indicate that the use of ensemble models enhances the accuracy and reliability of predictions by effectively capturing diverse patterns and correlations within the data. Consequently, this leads to more precise results in rock typing globally.
RESUMO
Geoscientists now identify coal layers using conventional well logs. Coal layer identification is the main technical difficulty in coalbed methane exploration and development. This research uses advanced quantile-quantile plot, self-organizing maps (SOM), k-means clustering, t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE) and qualitative log curve assessment through three wells (X4, X5, X6) in complex geological formation to distinguish coal from tight sand and shale. Also, we identify the reservoir rock typing (RRT), gas-bearing and non-gas bearing potential zones. Results showed gamma-ray and resistivity logs are not reliable tools for coal identification. Further, coal layers highlighted high acoustic (AC) and neutron porosity (CNL), low density (DEN), low photoelectric, and low porosity values as compared to tight sand and shale. While, tight sand highlighted 5-10% porosity values. The SOM and clustering assessment provided the evidence of good-quality RRT for tight sand facies, whereas other clusters related to shale and coal showed poor-quality RRT. A t-SNE algorithm accurately distinguished coal and was used to make CNL and DEN plot that showed the presence of low-rank bituminous coal rank in study area. The presented strategy through conventional logs shall provide help to comprehend coal-tight sand lithofacies units for future mining.
RESUMO
The presence of organic matter in lakes profoundly impacts drinking water supplies, yet treatment processes involving coagulants and disinfectants can yield carcinogenic disinfection by-products. Traditional assessments of organic matter, such as chemical oxygen demand (CODMn) and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5), are often time-consuming. Alternatively, optical measurements of dissolved organic matter (DOM) offer a rapid and reliable means of obtaining organic matter composition data. Here we employed DOM optical measurements in conjunction with parallel factor analysis to scrutinize CODMn and BOD5 variability. Validation was performed using an independent dataset encompassing six lakes on the Yungui Plateau from 2014 to 2016 (n = 256). Leveraging multiple linear regressions (MLRs) applied to DOM absorbance at 254 nm (a254) and fluorescence components C1-C5, we successfully traced CODMn and BOD5 variations across the entire plateau (68 lakes, n = 271, R2 > 0.8, P < 0.0001). Notably, DOM optical indices yielded superior estimates (higher R2) of CODMn and BOD5 during the rainy season compared to the dry season and demonstrated increased accuracy (R2 > 0.9) in mesotrophic lakes compared to oligotrophic and eutrophic lakes. This study underscores the utility of MLR-based DOM indices for inferring CODMn and BOD5 variability in plateau lakes and highlights the potential of integrating in situ and remote sensing platforms for water pollution early warning.

RESUMO
During the past 3000 years, cattle on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau have developed adaptive phenotypes under the selective pressure of hypoxia, ultraviolet (UV) radiation, and extreme cold. The genetic mechanism underlying this rapid adaptation is not yet well understood. Here, we present whole-genome resequencing data for 258 cattle from 32 cattle breeds/populations, including 89 Tibetan cattle representing eight populations distributed at altitudes ranging from 3400 m to 4300 m. Our genomic analysis revealed that Tibetan cattle exhibited a continuous phylogeographic cline from the East Asian taurine to the South Asian indicine ancestries. We found that recently selected genes in Tibetan cattle were related to body size (HMGA2 and NCAPG) and energy expenditure (DUOXA2). We identified signals of sympatric introgression from yak into Tibetan cattle at different altitudes, covering 0.64%-3.26% of their genomes, which included introgressed genes responsible for hypoxia response (EGLN1), cold adaptation (LRP11), DNA damage repair (LATS1), and UV radiation resistance (GNPAT). We observed that introgressed yak alleles were associated with noncoding variants, including those in present EGLN1. In Tibetan cattle, three yak introgressed SNPs in the EGLN1 promoter region reduced the expression of EGLN1, suggesting that these genomic variants enhance hypoxia tolerance. Taken together, our results indicated complex adaptation processes in Tibetan cattle, where recently selected genes and introgressed yak alleles jointly facilitated rapid adaptation to high-altitude environments.
RESUMO
Fish size can heavily impact the bioaccumulation of metals, but it was rarely applied to screen out the fish with low health risk for consuming. Given the widespread metals contamination of angling fish, the angling fish collected from Guangzhou, China, were taken as an example in this study. The screening length and weight were detailed in accordance with the investigation of metals contamination among angling fish. Importantly, the feasibility of size screening on mitigating the health risk of angling fish was evaluated. The results revealed that the concentration of Cr and As were relatively high and beyond the maximum residue limit (MRL) in some fish. The mean pollution index (Pi) of As, Cr, and Pb were beyond 0.2, suggesting the widespread minor contamination. The total metal pollution index (MPI) manifested Oreochroms mossambcus was the most contaminated. The target hazard quotient (THQ) of Cr, As, and Hg were relatively higher, but the higher probability of THQ > 1 indicated the health risk should be dominantly from As. The highest TTHQ suggested the highest risk of Oreochroms mossambcus. Regression analysis determined the fish of THQ < 1 should be more likely centralized in the size that is beyond 13.7 cm and 45.0 g for adults and 19.8 cm and 127.9 g for children. Significantly reducing THQ among these screened fish confirmed their effect on the degrading health risk of metals; particularly, the children's THQ returned below 1. The commonly contaminated Oreochroms mossambcus was further excluded to remove the screened fish with THQ > 1; the further decrease in THQ confirmed that the exclusion of a contaminated species could improve the effect of size screening.
RESUMO
Hydroxylated isoprenoid glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (OH-GDGTs) have shown their potential in environmental reconstructions. However, the unclear underlying mechanism challenges their application. To elucidate the effects of water parameters on OH-GDGT-derived indices and understand their environmental implications, we investigated the core OH-GDGTs of suspended particulate matter (SPM) from water columns in a year cycle and surface sediments at different water depths along a nearshore-offshore transect in Lake Fuxian, a deep and large lake in southwestern China. OH-GDGTs were primarily found in the hypolimnion and were produced in situ by Group I.1a Thaumarchaeota. The relative abundance of OH-GDGTs (%OH-GDGTs) and ring indices (RI-OH and RI-OH') in the hypolimnion were significantly influenced by dissolved oxygen (DO) and pH, particularly DO, which regulated the inverse physiological functions of the hydroxyl and cyclopentane moieties of archaea. %OH-GDGTs values in SPM were positively correlated with DO and negatively correlated with pH levels, while RI-OH values exhibited an inverse relationship with DO and positive correlation with pH levels. OH-GDGTs in surface sediments appeared to be homologous to that of water columns, indicating that their inferred proxies could be regulated by the configuration of water parameters. The sedimentary %OH-GDGTs values increased as the RI-OH values decreased with water depth along the transect from the lakeshore to the lake center, suggesting their potential as lake-level proxies.

The bulk nitrogen isotope composition of lacustrine sediments can be a useful proxy of past climatic and environmental changes. We previously reconstructed paleoenvironmental histories recorded in sediments of Lake Ximencuo and Lake Ngoring, both located on the eastern Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP), using a suite of biogeochemical paleoclimate proxies that included the sedimentary δ15Ntot values. We have revisited the different patterns of δ15Ntot variations in the two lakes and now conclude that their isotopic trends over the last millennium have been controlled by multiple factors. Regional temperature evidently is one potential factor affecting the sedimentary δ15Ntot values, indicating that the lake ecosystems respond to regional temperature changes on a sub-millennial timescale but in indirect and lake-specific ways. The processes involved in the sedimentary δ15Ntot changes appear to be more strongly influenced by the shapes of lake basins and associated hydrologic characteristics that control the origins of nitrogen-containing compounds in the lakes. To help understand the dynamics of nitrogen cycling and nitrogen isotope records in the QTP lakes, we identified two patterns - a terrestrial nitrogen-controlled pattern (TNCP) that is observed in deeper, steep-walled glacial-basin lakes and an aquatic nitrogen-controlled pattern (ANCP) that is observed in shallower, tectonic-basin lakes. We also considered the influences of the "amount effect" and the "temperature effect" on sedimentary δ15Ntot values and their possible operative mechanisms in these montane lakes. We postulate that both patterns are applicable to the QTP lakes, including both glacial and tectonic lakes, and probably to lakes in other regions that have also not experienced significant human disturbance.
RESUMO
Understanding long-term dynamics is vitally important for explaining current biodiversity patterns and setting conservation goals in a changing world. However, the changes in biodiversity in time and space, particularly the dynamics at the centuries or even longer time scales, are poorly documented because of a lack of continuous monitoring data. The sedimentary DNA (sedDNA) has a great potential for paleo-community reconstruction, and it has recently been used as a powerful tool to characterize past dynamics in terms of biodiversity over geological timescales. In particular, it is useful for prokaryotes and eukaryotes that do not fossilize; hence, it is revolutionizing the scope of paleoecological research. Here, a "Research Weaving" method was performed with systematic maps and bibliometric webs based on the Web of Science for Science Citation Index Expanded, presenting a comprehensive landscape of the sedDNA that traces biological dynamics. We identified that most sedDNA-based studies have focused on microbial dynamics and on using samples from multitypes of sediments. This review summarized the advantages and common applications of sedDNA, focused on the biodiversity in microbial communities, and provided an outlook for the future of sedDNA research.

A simple and efficient coagulation method was used for the rapid preparation of nitrogen-doped copper-cobalt oxide (N-Cu0.92Co2·08O4) supported on cerium dioxide (CeO2), that is, N-Cu0.92Co2·08O4@CeO2. A low concentration of N-Cu0.92Co2·08O4@CeO2 (0.15 g L-1) was shown to rapidly activate permonosulfate (PMS) (0.15 g L-1) to achieve 100% degradation of ranitidine within 10 min. A 100% degradation of ranitidine enabled by the catalyst was achieved over a wide range of pH (5.5-9.0), which could be completed within 8 min in the presence of anionic H2PO4-. Moreover, the N-Cu0.92Co2·08O4@CeO2 catalyst enabled more than 90% degradation of various typical antibiotics within 30 min, including tetracycline, sulfaixoxazole, and chloramphenicol, with degradation rates of 100%, 93.51%, and 90.01%, respectively. Even after four catalytic cycles, N-Cu0.92Co2·08O4@CeO2 could be regenerated to achieve 100% degradation of ranitidine. Electrochemical analysis demonstrated that the combination of N-Cu0.92Co2·08O4@CeO2 and PMS immediately produced a strong current density, thereby rapidly producing reactive oxygen species (ROS) with high performance for the degradation of the target pollutant. Combined ion quenching and electron paramagnetic resonance analyses indicated that the main ROS was the non-free radical 1O2. Finally, a plausible ranitidine degradation pathway was deduced based on liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis, wherein the toxic substance N-nitrosodimethylamine was not produced during the degradation process. In short, this study provides a new perspective for preparing ternary metal catalysts for advanced oxidation processes with practical application significance.

Microbes serve as important components of ecosystem services and biogeochemical processes in plateau lakes. However, the features of microbiota assembly, abundance and diversity in plateau lakes remain unclear. The microbial communities in surface water from nine plateau lakes in Yunnan Plateau, southwestern China, in the dry and rainy seasons were explored using 16S rRNA gene and 18S rRNA gene sequencing. The results showed that the bacterial community compositions were homogeneous while those of micro-eukaryotes were heterogeneous in plateau lakes. In both seasons, the bacterial phyla of Proteobacteria and Actinobacteriota predominated in oligotrophic lakes. The mesotrophic lakes were dominated by Proteobacteria, Actinobacteriota, Bacteroidota and Cyanobacteria. The eutrophic lakes were mainly dominated by Proteobacteria, Actinobacteriota and Cyanobacteria. The phylum SAR_k_norank had the major micro-eukaryotes in these plateau lakes. The alpha-diversity of bacteria declined in the rainy season, while that of micro-eukaryotes varied from lake to lake. The drivers of microbiotic community assembly in the dry season were identified as nutrient level-related factors. In the rainy season, however, the microbiota in oligotrophic lakes were related to nutrient levels. Microbial communities were driven by precipitation in mesotrophic and eutrophic lakes with large water volumes, while those in lakes with small water volumes were regulated by nutrient level-related factors. Our findings pose first and unique insights into the microbiota of the nine plateau lakes in Yunnan Plateau, providing important ecological knowledge for these lakes with different characteristics.

Peroxymonosulfate (PMS) driven by halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) modified with nanomanganese cobaltate (MnCo2O4) generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) that offer high degradation efficiency and mineralization rates for many typical antibiotic pollutants, such as ornidazole (ONZ). The experimental results show that halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) modified with nanomanganese cobaltate (MnCo2O4@HNTs denoted as MCO@HNTs) can degrade ONZ completely over a wide pH range (6.08-11.00) with little influence of the pH value. MCO@HNTs + PMS exhibited higher catalytic activity and lower Co- and Mn-ion leaching rates. It also showed a strong anti-interference effect on natural lake water and anions. Additionally, PMS can be quickly activated and consumed in natural lakes to avoid secondary pollution. The roasting of MCO@HNTs showed good catalytic activity and stability after degrading ONZ. The combination of ion quenching and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis illustrated that the MCO@HNTs + PMS system had a strong oxidation capacity, and the produced singlet oxygen (1O2) was the main ROS for ONZ degradation. The degradation pathway of ONZ via the MCO@HNTs + PMS system was proposed based on the types of intermediates determined via liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). This comprehensive study shows the preparation of a simple, environmentally friendly, and cheap PMS activation catalyst that has practical application value in the treatment of antibiotic wastewater and provides a focus on actual water testing with residual amount of PMS.

Documenting the origins of megadiverse (sub)tropical aquatic ecosystems is an important goal for studies of evolution and ecology. Nonetheless, the geological and ecological establishment of the modern Yangtze River remains poorly understood. Here, we reconstruct the geographic and ecological history of an endemic clade of East Asian fishes based on the mitochondrial phylogenomics analysis of Cyprinidae using 15 fossil calibrations. We estimate an ancestral condition of benthic spawning with demersal or adhesive eggs in southern East Asia before â¼23 Ma and a derived condition of riverine spawning with semibuoyant eggs in the Yangtze by â¼18 Ma. These results imply the formation of Yangtze riverine ecosystems around the Oligocene-Miocene boundary in response to plateau uplift and monsoon strengthening. Some of these cyprinids reverted to benthic spawning with adhesive eggs by â¼15 Ma, a time of rising to peak net diversification rates, indicating the formation of potamo-lacustrine ecosystems by the mid-Miocene during a strong East Asian summer monsoon. Our study provides increased spatiotemporal resolution for the co-evolutionary histories of the Yangtze River and its biodiversity and highlights biological evidence concerning the geomorphological dynamics of the Yangtze River.
