Abstract
During the period preceding the vegetation growing season (GS), temperature emerges as the pivotal factor determining phenology in northern terrestrial ecosystems. Despite extensive research on the impact of daily mean temperature (Tmean) during the preseason period, the influence of diurnal temperature range (DTR) on vegetation photosynthetic phenology (i.e., the impact of the plant photosynthetic cycle on seasonal time scale) has largely been neglected. Using a long-term vegetation photosynthetic phenology dataset and historical climate data, we examine vegetation photosynthetic phenology dynamics and responses to climate change across the mid-high latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere from 2001 to 2020. Our data reveal an advancing trend in the start of the GS (SOS) by -0.15 days per year (days yr-1), affecting 72.1% of the studied area. This is particularly pronounced in western Canada, Alaska, eastern Asia, and latitudes north of 60°N. Conversely, the end of the GS (EOS) displays a delaying trend of 0.17 days yr-1, impacting 62.4% of the studied area, especially northern North America and northern Eurasia. The collective influence of an earlier SOS and a delayed EOS has resulted in the notably prolonged length of the GS (LOS) by 0.32 days yr-1 in the last two decades, affecting 70.9% of the studied area, with Eurasia and western North America being particularly noteworthy. Partial correlation coefficients of the SOS with preseason Tmean, DTR, and accumulated precipitation exhibited negative values in 98.4%, 93.0%, and 39.2% of the study area, respectively. However, there were distinct regional variations in the influence of climate factors on the EOS. The partial correlation coefficients of the EOS with preseason Tmean, DTR, and precipitation were positive in 58.6%, 50.1%, and 36.3% of the region, respectively. Our findings unveil the intricate mechanisms influencing vegetation photosynthetic phenology, holding crucial significance in understanding the dynamics of carbon sequestration within terrestrial ecosystems amidst climate change.

Abstract
Quantitatively determining the direct, indirect, and comprehensive effects of climatic factors on the growing season of the vegetation GPP (GPPGS) in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River at the regional and vegetation type scales can provide a scientific basis for the management and restoration of regional vegetation resources under the background of global climate change. Using MODIS GPP data, meteorological data, and vegetation type data, combined with Theil-Sen Median trend analysis and the Mann-Kendall significance test, the spatiotemporal characteristics of the GPPGS in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River were investigated at different temporal and spatial scales. Path analysis was used to further reveal the direct, indirect, and comprehensive effects of climate factors on GPPGS variation in different vegetation types. The results showed that:① from 2000 to 2021, the vegetation GPPGS in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River showed a fluctuating upward trend, with a rising rate (in terms of C, same below) of 2.70 g·(m2·a)-1 (P<0.01). The GPPGS of different vegetation types all showed a significant upward trend (P<0.01), with shrubs having the highest upward rate of 3.31 g·(m2·a)-1 and cultivated vegetation having the lowest upward rate of 2.54 g·(m2·a)-1. ② The proportion of the area with an upward trend in GPPGS in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River was 88.11%. The proportion of the area with an upward trend in GPPGS was greater than 84% for all different vegetation types, with shrubs (49.76%) and cultivated vegetation (44.36%) having significantly higher proportions of the area with an upward trend than that in other vegetation types. ③ The path analysis results showed that precipitation and the maximum temperature had a significant positive direct effect on vegetation GPPGS (P<0.05), whereas solar radiation had a non-significant positive effect (P ≥ 0.05). The indirect effects of maximum temperature, precipitation, and solar radiation on vegetation GPPGS were all non-significantly negative (P ≥ 0.05). Under the combined effects of direct and indirect influences, precipitation and maximum temperature had a non-significant positive effect on vegetation GPPGS (P ≥ 0.05), whereas solar radiation had a non-significant negative effect on vegetation GPPGS (P ≥ 0.05). Among different vegetation types, precipitation was the main climate factor affecting the changes in GPPGS of cultivated vegetation, whereas the maximum temperature was the main climate factor affecting the changes in GPPGS of coniferous forests, broad-leaved forests, shrubs, and grasslands. ④ The changes in vegetation GPPGS in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River were mainly influenced by the direct effects of maximum temperature, precipitation, and solar radiation, with the direct effect of precipitation dominating 56.72% of the changes in GPPGS. The research results can provide a reference for quantifying the carbon sequestration potential of vegetation in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and formulating ecological restoration governance policies tailored to local conditions under the background of global climate change.

Abstract
Climate is the most important environmental factor influencing yield during rice growth and development. To investigate the relationships between climate and yield under different crop rotation patterns and planting methods, three typical rotation patterns (vegetable-rice (V), rape-rice (R), and wheat-rice (W)) and two mechanical planting methods (mechanical transplanting (T1) and mechanical direct seeding (T2)) were established. The results showed that compared to the V rotation pattern, the average daily temperature (ADT) during the sowing to heading stage increased under both R and W rotation patterns, which significantly shortened the growth period. Thus, the effective accumulated temperature (EAT), photosynthetic capacity, effective panicle (EP), and spikelet per panicle (SP) under R and W rotation patterns significantly decreased, leading to reductions in grain yield (GY). VT2 had a higher ratio of productive tillers (RPT), relative chlorophyll content (SPAD), leaf area index (LAI), and net photosynthetic rate (Pn) than those of VT1, which significantly increased panicle dry matter accumulation (DMA), resulting in an increase in GY. Although RT2 and WT2 had a higher RPT than those of RT1 and WT1, the GY of RT1 and WT1 decreased due to the significant reductions in EAT and photosynthetic capacity. Principal component analysis (PCA) showed that the comprehensive score for different rotation patterns followed the order of V > R > T with VT2 ranking first. The structural equation model (SEM) showed that EAT and ADT were the most important climate factors affecting yield, with total effects of 0.520 and -0.446, respectively. In conclusion, mechanical direct seeding under vegetable-rice rotation pattern and mechanical transplanting under rape-rice or wheat-rice rotation pattern were the rice-planting methods that optimized the climate resources in southwest China.

Abstract
Caragana, a xerophytic shrub genus widely distributed in northern China, exhibits distinctive geographical substitution patterns and ecological adaptation diversity. This study employed transcriptome sequencing technology to investigate 12 Caragana species, aiming to explore genic-SSR variations in the Caragana transcriptome and identify their role as a driving force for environmental adaptation within the genus. A total of 3666 polymorphic genic-SSRs were identified across different species. The impact of these variations on the expression of related genes was analyzed, revealing a significant linear correlation (p < 0.05) between the length variation of 264 polymorphic genic-SSRs and the expression of associated genes. Additionally, 2424 polymorphic genic-SSRs were located in differentially expressed genes among Caragana species. Through weighted gene co-expression network analysis, the expressions of these genes were correlated with 19 climatic factors and 16 plant functional traits in various habitats. This approach facilitated the identification of biological processes associated with habitat adaptations in the studied Caragana species. Fifty-five core genes related to functional traits and climatic factors were identified, including various transcription factors such as MYB, TCP, ARF, and structural proteins like HSP90, elongation factor TS, and HECT. The roles of these genes in the ecological adaptation diversity of Caragana were discussed. Our study identified specific genomic components and genes in Caragana plants responsive to heterogeneous habitats. The results contribute to advancements in the molecular understanding of their ecological adaptation, lay a foundation for the conservation and development of Caragana germplasm resources, and provide a scientific basis for plant adaptation to global climate change.

Abstract
Chinese fir in China are generally inefficient plantations with single species, unreasonable stand density, and low productivity. The introduction of broadleaved species is usually adopted as a strategy to improve Chinese fir plantations. Taking the pure forests and mixed forests of the Guanshan Forest Farm in Jiangxi Province as example, we quantified the intrinsic water-use efficiency (iWUE) of trees based on the stable isotope carbon method, as well as its response to meteorological factors, and investigated the improvement of stand quality after introducing Phoebe zhennan into Chinese fir plantation. The results showed that the basal area increment was 0.23 cm2 in pure forest, being higher than that of 0.19 cm2 in mixed forest. The δ13C and iWUE of pure forest were -27.4‰ and 52.9%, respectively, being lower than those of -26.7‰ and 62.8% in the mixed forest. Tree δ13C in pure forest was more sensitive to changes in mean annual precipitation and mean annual relative humidity, while that in mixed forest was not significantly correlated with meteorological factors. Pure forest iWUE was positively correlated with mean annual temperature, mean annual atmospheric CO2 concentration, and mean annual maximum temperature, and negatively correlated with mean annual precipitation and mean annual relative humidity, while mixed forest iWUE was positively correlated with mean annual atmospheric CO2 concentration only. Our results indicated that pure forests was more sensitive to climate than mixed forests.

Abstract
The yellow fever (Aedes aegypti) and Asian tiger (Ae. albopictus) mosquitos are major vectors of global mosquito-borne pathogens. However, their niche and range shifts, the underlying mechanisms, and related relative invasion rates remain scarcely known. We examined the niche and range shifts between the native and invasive Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus populations through dynamic niche and range models and the largest occurrence record datasets to date. We detected substantial niche and range expansions in both species, probably because the introduced populations have more opportunities to acclimate to diverse environmental conditions than their native counterparts. Mitigating climate change could effectively control their future invasions, given that future climate changes could promote their invasiveness. Additionally, compared to the introduced Ae. aegypti, the more recent invader Ae. albopictus had greater niche and range expansion over its shorter invasion history. In terms of the range shifts, Ae. albopictus had an invasion rate approximately 13.3 times faster than that of Ae. aegypti, making it a more invasive vector of global mosquito-borne pathogens. Therefore, considering its higher invasion rate, much more attention should be paid to Ae. albopictus in devising our strategies against prevailing global mosquito-borne pathogens than Ae. aegypti. Since small niche shifts could result in their large range shifts, niche shifts might be a more important indicator for biological invasion assessments.

Abstract
Studies on the spatio-temporal variation and driving mechanism of PM2.5 concentration in the Chengdu-Chongqing urban agglomeration are of great significance for regional atmospheric environment protection and national economic sustainable development. Based on PM2.5 remote sensing data, DEM data, in situ meteorological data, MODIS NDVI data, population density data, nighttime lighting data, road network data, and land use type data, a series of mathematical methods such as Theil-Sen Medium analysis and Mann-Kendall significance test, combined with the Geo-detector model were used to analyze the spatio-temporal variation and multi-dimensional detection of the driving mechanism of PM2.5 concentration in the Chengdu-Chongqing urban agglomeration. The results showed that the overall PM2.5 concentration showed a fluctuating downward trend in the Chengdu-Chongqing urban agglomeration from 2000 to 2021, and the PM2.5 pollution was the most prominent in winter. PM2.5 concentration exhibited obvious spatial heterogeneity with "high in the middle and low in the surrounding areas." The high-PM2.5 concentration areas were mainly concentrated in Zigong, Neijiang, Ziyang, and Guang'an, and the areas with a PM2.5 concentration decrease were mainly concentrated in the west of Chongqing. Influencing detection results showed that the spatial heterogeneity of PM2.5 concentration in the Chengdu-Chongqing urban agglomeration was influenced by the combined effects of climate factors, topographic factors, vegetation cover, and anthropogenic factors. Furthermore, elevation, slope, and road network density were regarded as the dominant factors influencing the spatial heterogeneity of PM2.5 concentration in the study area. Topographic factors and climate factors showed the highest and lowest contribution rate to the spatial heterogeneity of PM2.5 concentration, respectively. The contribution rate of topographic factors and anthropogenic factors had gradually increased, and the contribution rate of climate factors and vegetation cover had gradually decreased in the study area from 2000 to 2021. Interaction detection results showed that the spatial heterogeneity of PM2.5 concentration in the Chengdu-Chongqing urban agglomeration was mostly affected by the interaction effects of elevation and road network density, slope, precipitation, sunshine duration, and land use type. The interaction detection results exhibited obvious regional differences on the city level. For instance, the spatial heterogeneity of PM2.5 concentration in Chengdu, Deyang, and Leshan was mostly affected by the interaction between different influencing types, and the spatial heterogeneity of PM2.5 concentration in Dazhou, Meishan, Ya'an, Ziyang, Neijiang, and Zigong was mostly affected by the interaction within a single influencing type.

Abstract
Understanding the distribution, characteristics, and changing trend and persistence of grassland degradation and revealing its mechanism on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau can provide scientific basis for effective grassland management and conservation. We selected grassland coverage as the remote sensing monitoring index to establish the remote sensing monitoring and evaluation index system of grassland degradation and evaluate grassland degradation during 2016 to 2020 on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The changing trend and persistence of grassland coverage were analyzed using linear regression and Hurst index analysis on a long time series scale (1982-2020). The partial correlation analysis was used to examine the influence of climate on grassland degradation. The results showed that grassland degradation reached 24.3% during 2016 to 2020, which was mainly light and moderate degradation, and largely distributed in low altitude and high fractional vegetation cover areas. From 1982 to 2020, grassland coverage tended to increase in the north, west and southwest, and decreased in the east and center of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. The Hurst index of grassland coverage was less than 0.5 in 98.1% of the total grassland, indicating grassland coverage showed negatively persistent. The partial correlation coefficient between grassland coverage and precipitation (0.096) was higher than that of temperature (-0.033). About 16.0% area was dominated by temperature, which was mainly distributed in the central and southeast. About 12.2% area was dominated by precipitation, which was distributed in the northeast and west of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau.

Abstract
Water use efficiency (WUE) is an effective index to study the coupling of land carbon and water cycle. The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is the most important ecological security barrier in China. Understanding the characteristics and mechanism of WUE is important for the carbon cycle and water resources rational utilization in the plateau. Based on MODIS data of gross primary productivity (GPP) and evapotranspiration (ET), we analyzed the spatial-temporal variations of WUE over the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the effects of climate factors. The results showed that WUE in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau had an upward trend under the combined action of GPP and ET during 2001-2020. The southeast and northeast of the Plateau had the highest WUE value, while the central part had the lowest WUE value. WUE of grassland, marsh and alpine vegetation showed an increasing trend, while that of shrub land, broadleaved forest and coniferous forest showed a decreasing trend. There was a significant positive correlation between WUE and annual air temperature, and the sensitivity increased with the increases of air temperature. The relationship between WUE and annual precipitation was non-linear. When precipitation was less than 700 mm, the sensitivity of WUE to precipitation decreased with the increases of precipitation. When precipitation was more than 700 mm, the sensitivity of precipitation increased with the increases of precipitation. However, WUE was negatively correlated with precipitation in more than 75% of regions, and was affected by precipitation in a larger area. In the future, warm and humid climate would lead to a decrease in WUE.

Abstract
It is generally accepted that the color and performance characteristics of liquid thermal insulation coatings are affected by the combined effect of various climatic factors such as solar radiation, temperature fluctuations, moisture, precipitation and others. This work presents the results of a scientific study of the full-scale exposure of coatings with regard to climatic ageing. Methods have been carried out, such as: spectrophotometry and direct scanning; determining adhesion, determining the adhesion strength of facing and protective coatings; and thermal conductivity and thermal resistance. As the results of the research work have shown, only in situ climatic tests, accompanied by the obligatory recording of the aggressive factors affecting the coating, make it possible to assess changes in the properties of epoxy coatings in full-scale conditions and, consequently, their climatic resistance by the methods of spectrophotometry and direct scanning. The ageing of polymer composites is known to be accompanied by a change not only in elasticity but also in color. Of the epoxy coatings tested, Etal-45M showed the greatest color variation during the in situ climate test. The most decorative resistant coatings are obtained using epoxy resin ED-20 + modified epoxy resin Etal-1440N.

Abstract
Cotton is the fifth-largest oil crop in the world. A high kernel oil content (KOC) and high stability are important cottonseed attributes for food security. In this study, the phenotype of KOC and the genotype-by-environment interaction factors were collectively dissected using 250 recombinant inbred lines, their parental cultivars sGK156 and 901-001, and CCRI70 across multi-environments. ANOVA and correlation analysis showed that both genotype and environment contributed significantly to KOC accumulation. Analyses of additive main effect multiplicative interaction and genotype-by-environment interaction biplot models presented the effects of genotype, environment, and genotype by environment on KOC performance and the stability of the experimental materials. Interaction network analysis revealed that meteorological and geographical factors explained 38% of the total KOC variance, with average daily rainfall contributing the largest positive impact and cumulative rainfall having the largest negative impact on KOC accumulation. This study provides insight into KOC accumulation and could direct selection strategies for improved KOC and field management of cottonseed in the future.

Abstract
Subalpine meadow is extremely sensitive to climate change. Few studies, however, focused on the responses of subalpine meadow to climatic factors in subtropical regions. It is still a challenge to extract the biophysical parameters from optical remote sensing imagery during the growing season. Based on the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) time series dataset from the MOD13Q1 vegetation index products and meteorological data, we analyzed the changes of vegetation growth of subalpine meadow at Huanggang Mountain in the top of Wuyishan National Park from 2000 to 2019, its responses to climate factors and the time lag effects. The results showed that NDVI in summer increased insignificantly during 2000-2019, and that NDVI in the growing season, spring, and autumn increased significantly. The enhancement of NDVI was mainly contributed by the increasing temperature (0.026 ℃·a-1) from 2000 to 2019. The increasing temperature in spring and autumn influenced meadow growth more than that in summer and growing season. NDVI of the growing season in subalpine meadow was sensitive to precipitation,indicating that the growth of subalpine meadow was strongly affected by precipitation even in the subtropical region with sufficient precipitation. Temperature and precipitation in different growth periods had different time lag effects on the NDVI of subalpine meadowo. The time lag effects of temperature on subalpine meadow were 0-1 month, and that of precipitation were 2-3 month.

Abstract
Plant functional traits often show strong latitudinal trends. To explain these trends, studies have often focused on environmental variables, correlations with other traits that themselves show latitudinal trends, and phylogenetic conservatism. However, few studies have systematically disentangled the relative contributions of these factors. Using a dataset consisting of 9,370 plant species from Southwest China, we investigated factors affecting fruit type (fleshy vs. dry): plant growth form, environmental constraints (summarized by climate region), and phylogenetic conservatism. Growth form and climate region are often cited in the literature as important explanations for the higher proportion of fleshy fruited species in the tropics. Nonetheless, in our analyses using partial R2 , growth form and climate region explained only 1.7% and 0.3%, respectively, of the variance in fruit type in a model including phylogeny, while phylogenetic conservatism explained 79.5%. Furthermore, phylogenetic conservatism was evenly distributed along the phylogeny, implying that fruit type reflects both ancient and recent phylogenetic relationships. Our findings illustrate the value of parsing out the contributions of explanatory variables and phylogeny to the variance in species' traits. Methods using phylogenies that calculate partial R2 give a more informative tool than traditional methods to explore the phylogenetic patterns of functional traits.

Abstract
Evapotranspiration is the key element of hydrological energy cycle and climate system. It is of great significance to estimate the spatiotemporal variation of evapotranspiration and its response to climate and land use changes for understanding the effects of water cycle and ecological processes in urban basins. Based on the three-temperature model and MODIS Image, we estimated and analyzed the spatiotemporal variation of evapotranspiration in Nanning City from 2001 to 2018, and examined the influence and driving mode of main climate factors and land use types on evapotranspiration. The results showed that the annual average evapotranspiration of Nanning City ranged from 495.7 to 781.1 mm during 2001-2018, with the inter annual relative variability ranging from -22.5% to 23.1%, showing an overall upward trend. The regional evapotranspiration showed a distribution pattern of high north-south and low middle, with the urban evapotranspiration being significantly lower than suburban area. The evapotranspiration had a significant multiple correlation with climate factors. The influence of temperature on the evapotranspiration was stronger than precipita-tion. Evapotranspiration was temperature driven in suburbs, but was driven by multiple factors in urban area. The average evapotranspiration of different land use types in Nanning was forests (823.4 mm) > grasslands (675.6 mm) > croplands (582.9 mm) > urban area (346.6 mm). The change of land use type was the main underlying surface factor leading to the significant change of regional evapotranspiration.

Abstract
Amylopectin is an essential starch property, and the chain-length distribution of amylopectin (APCLD) is closely associated with the eating and cooking quality of rice. In this study, a series of recombinant inbred lines derived from an indica/japonica cross were planted in four areas with distinct ecological conditions (LN, SC, JS, and GD), and the relationship among APCLD, environmental factors, and genetic background was analyzed. The results showed that APCLD was strongly influenced by environmental factors, which dynamically changed from heading to the mature stage. The solar radiation, luminous flux, and light hours were positively correlated with Fa but negatively correlated with Fb1 and Fb2. The temperature was negatively correlated with Fa and Fb1 but positively correlated with Fb2 and Fb3. The temperature was the primary factor affecting APCLD, followed by humidity and light. There was no significant correlation between the indica pedigree percentage and APCLD. Furthermore, we detected six quantitative trait loci related to Fa, Fb1, Fb2, and Fb3 chains, several of which shared a similar region to previously reported loci, including DENSE AND ERECT PANICLE 1 (DEP1). The truncated dep1 allele increased Fa, Fb2, and Fb3 but decreased Fb1 in LN, whereas Fa was decreased but Fb1 and Fb2 were increased in JS. Elucidating the effects of climate factors and genetic background on APCLD could provide a theoretical basis and technical guidance for high-quality rice breeding.

Abstract
Three typical plant communities (evergreen broad-leaved forest at low-altitude 1100 m, evergreen and deciduous mixed broad-leaved forest at mid-altitude 1500 m, and evergreen conife-rous and broad-leaved mixed forest at high-altitude 1900 m) in Maoer Mountain, Guangxi, China were surveyed along an altitude gradient. We measured the tree layer plant architecture and environmental factors, to analyze the variation of plant architecture traits among the three communities and its influencing factors. The results showed that the tree layer canopy area, basal diameter at 45 cm height, diameter at breast height (DBH), and leaf convergence increased with increasing altitude, whereas tree height, branch height, and canopy thickness first increased and then decreased. Horizontal branches occurred more often in communities at lower altitude , less frequent at high altitude, and the least frequent in middle altitude communities. Correlations among tree layer plant architecture traits were stronger in the mid-altitude community than that in the other altitude communities. Results from the redundancy analysis showed that soil organic matter and total solar radiation were the main factors driving the variation of plant architecture traits in the tree layers, accounting for 39.6% and 23.9% of the total variation, respectively. Soil organic matter had a greater positive impact on canopy area and branch height, whereas total solar radiation was more influential on the DBH and 45 cm basal diameter. In conclusion, tree layer architecture of communities along the altitude gradient in Maoer Mountain was divergent, with soil organic matter and total solar radiation as the main driving forces.

Abstract
To elucidate the seasonal variations in soil salinity and its driving factors, and to explore the effects of planting Suaeda glauca and straw mulching on soil desalination and salinity controlling, a field experiment was conducted in extremely heavy saline soil of coastal areas in Rudong, Jiangsu Province. There were four treatments: control (bare land, CK), planting S. glauca (PS), straw mulching A (at 15 t·hm-2, SM-A), straw mulching 2A (at 30 t·hm-2, SM-2A). Climate factors (including rainfall, atmospheric temperature, sunshine duration, and atmospheric evaporation) and soil salinity dynamic changes were determined from May 2014 to May 2015. Results showed that: (1) The seasonal variation of soil salinity was obvious in the bare ground (CK), with the lowest (8.69 g·kg-1) during June-August and the highest (26.66 g·kg-1) during September-December. The changes of soil salinity in topsoil (0-20 cm) were more intense than that in sub-topsoil (20-40 cm), with the changes in sub-topsoil having somewhat time lag compared the topsoil. (2) Soil salinity in CK treatment had a significantly linear correlation with the cumulative rainfall and evaporation-precipitation ratio of the fifteen-day before sampling. The results from multifactor and interphase analysis indicated that the increases of rainfall would promote soil desalinization. The rise of atmospheric temperature could exacerbate soil salt accumulation in surface soil. The interaction between rainfall and atmospheric temperature would have a positive effect on soil salt accumulation. (3) PS treatment did not alter the seasonal variation in soil salinity, but it reduced soil salinity in topsoil. (4) In SM-A and SM-2A treatments, the relationship of soil desalinization rate (%, Y) and treatment time (days, X) was expressed as Logistic curve equation. Moreover, the soil desalination rate was over 95.0% in the topsoil after 90-100 days of straw mul-ching treatment and was over 92.0% in sub-topsoil after 120 days of straw mulching treatment. The soil salinity in SM-A and SM-2A treatments fluctuated below 0.60 g·kg-1 and 1.00 g·kg-1, respectively in topsoil and sub-topsoil. Considering the desalination and economic costs, a suitable amount of straw mulching (such as 15 t·hm-2) before rainy season was recommended, which would promote the soil desalinization and reclamation in extremely heavy saline soil of coastal areas.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Previous studies have indicated that suicide rates have significant seasonal variations. There is seasonal discordance between temperature and solar radiation due to the monsoon season in South Korea. We investigated the seasonality of suicide and assessed its association with climate variables in South Korea. METHOD Suicide rates were obtained from the National Statistical Office of South Korea, and climatic data were obtained from the Korea Meteorological Administration for the period of 1992-2010. We conducted analyses using a generalized additive model (GAM). First, we explored the seasonality of suicide and climate variables such as mean temperature, daily temperature range, solar radiation, and relative humidity. Next, we identified confounding climate variables associated with suicide rate. To estimate the adjusted effect of solar radiation on the suicide rate, we investigated the confounding variables using a multivariable GAM. RESULTS Suicide rate showed seasonality with a pattern similar to that of solar radiation. We found that the suicide rate increased 1.008 times when solar radiation increased by 1 MJ/m2 after adjusting for other confounding climate factors (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION Solar radiation has a significant linear relationship with suicide after adjusting for region, other climate variables, and time trends.

Abstract
From 2010 to 2013, 763 soybean samples were collected from an extensive area of China. The correlations between seed compositions and climate data were analyzed. The contents of crude protein and water-soluble protein, total amount of protein plus oil, and most of the amino acids were positively correlated with an accumulated temperature ≥15 °C (AT15) and the mean daily temperature (MDT) but were negatively correlated with hours of sunshine (HS) and diurnal temperature range (DTR). The correlations of crude oil and most fatty acids with climate factors were opposite to those of crude protein. Crude oil content had a quadratic regression relationship with MDT, and a positive correlation between oil content and MDT was found when the daily temperature was <19.7 °C. A path analysis indicated that DTR was the main factor that directly affected soybean protein and oil contents. The study illustrated the effects of climate factors on soybean protein and oil contents and proposed agronomic practices for improving soybean quality in different regions of China. The results provide a foundation for the regionalization of high-quality soybean production in China and similar regions in the world.
