  • The Strategic Environmental Archaeology Database : a resource for international, multiproxy and transdisciplinary studies of environmental and climatic change
  • 2015
  • Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Climate and environmental change are global challenges which require global data and infrastructure to investigate. These challenges also require a multi-proxy approach, integrating evidence from Quaternary science and archaeology with information from studies on modern ecology and physical processes among other disciplines. The Strategic Environmental Archaeology Database (SEAD http://www.sead.se) is a Swedish based international research e-infrastructure for storing, managing, analysing and disseminating palaeoenvironmental data from an almost unlimited number of analysis methods. The system currently makes available raw data from over 1500 sites (>5300 datasets) and the analysis of Quaternary fossil insects, plant macrofossils, pollen, geochemistry and sediment physical properties, dendrochronology and wood anatomy, ceramic geochemistry and bones, along with numerous dating methods. This capacity will be expanded in the near future to include isotopes, multi-spectral and archaeo-metalurgical data. SEAD also includes expandable climate and environment calibration datasets, a complete bibliography and extensive metadata and services for linking these data to other resources. All data is available as Open Access through http://qsead.sead.se and downloadable software. SEAD is maintained and managed at the Environmental Archaeology Lab and HUMlab at Umea University, Sweden. Development and data ingestion is progressing in cooperation with The Laboratory for Ceramic Research and the National Laboratory for Wood Anatomy and Dendrochronology at Lund University, Sweden, the Archaeological Research Laboratory, Stockholm University, the Geoarchaeological Laboratory, Swedish National Historical Museums Agency and several international partners and research projects. Current plans include expanding its capacity to serve as a data source for any system and integration with the Swedish National Heritage Board's information systems. SEAD is partnered with the Neotoma palaeoecology database (http://www.neotomadb.org) and a new initiative for building cyberinfrastructure for transdisciplinary research and visualization of the long-term human ecodynamics of the North Atlantic funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF).

  • Mycobiomes of sympatric Amorphophallus albispathus (Araceae) and Camellia sinensis (Theaceae) – a case study reveals clear tissue preferences and differences in diversity and composition
  • 2018
  • Ingår i: Mycological Progress. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 1617-416X .- 1861-8952. ; 17:4
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Multiple biotic and abiotic parameters influence the dynamics of individual fungal species and entire communities. Major drivers for tropical plant endophytes are undoubtedly seasonality, local habitat conditions and biogeography. However, host specialization and tissue preferences also contribute to the structuring of endophytic mycobiomes. To elucidate such specializations and preferences, we sampled two commercially important, unrelated plant species, Amorphophallus albispathus and Camellia sinensis (tea plant) simultaneously at close proximity. The mycobiomes of different tissue types were assessed with high-throughput amplicon sequencing of the internal transcribed spacer DNA region. Both plants hosted different fungal communities and varied in α- and β-diversity, despite their neighboring occurrence. However, the fungal assemblages of Amorphophallus leaflets shared taxa with the mycobiomes of tea leaves, thereby suggesting common driving forces for leaf-inhabiting fungi irrespective of host plant identity. The mycobiome composition and diversity of tea leaves was clearly driven by leaf age. We suggest that the very youngest tea leaves are colonized by stochastic processes, while mycobiomes of old leaves are rather similar as the result of progressive succession. The biodiversity of fungi associated with A. albispathus was characterized by a large number of unclassified OTUs (at genus and species level) and by tissue-specific composition.This study is the first cultivation-independent high-throughput assessment of fungal biodiversity of an Amorphophallus species, and additionally expands the knowledge base on fungi associated with tea plants.

  • Intramolecular carbon isotope signals reflect metabolite allocation in plants
  • 2022
  • Ingår i: Journal of Experimental Botany. - : Oxford University Press. - 0022-0957 .- 1460-2431. ; 73:8, s. 2558-2575
  • Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • Stable isotopes at natural abundance are key tools to study physiological processes occurring outside the temporal scope of manipulation and monitoring experiments. Whole-molecule carbon isotope ratios (13C/12C) enable assessments of plant carbon uptake yet conceal information about carbon allocation. Here, we identify an intramolecular 13C/12C signal at tree-ring glucose C-5 and C-6 and develop experimentally testable theories on its origin. More specifically, we assess the potential of processes within C3 metabolism for signal introduction based (inter alia) on constraints on signal propagation posed by metabolic networks. We propose that the intramolecular signal reports carbon allocation into major metabolic pathways in actively photosynthesizing leaf cells including the anaplerotic, shikimate, and non-mevalonate pathway. We support our theoretical framework by linking it to previously reported whole-molecule 13C/12C increases in cellulose of ozone-treated Betula pendula and a highly significant relationship between the intramolecular signal and tropospheric ozone concentration. Our theory postulates a pronounced preference for leaf cytosolic triose-phosphate isomerase to catalyse the forward reaction in vivo (dihydroxyacetone phosphate to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate). In conclusion, intramolecular 13C/12C analysis resolves information about carbon uptake and allocation enabling more comprehensive assessments of carbon metabolism than whole-molecule 13C/12C analysis.

  • SEAD - The Strategic Environmental Archaeology Database Inter-linking Multiproxy Environmental Data with Archaeological Investigations and Ecology
  • 2013
  • Ingår i: Archaeology in the Digital Era. - : Amsterdam University Press. - 9789089646637 - 9789048519590 - 9789048519606 ; , s. 320-331
  • Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The volume of data on past environmental and climate changes, as well as human interactions with these, has long since passed the level where it is manageable outside of large scale database systems. The Strategic Environmental Archaeology Database project aims to not only store and disseminate such data, but also provide tools for querying and analysing them, whilst maintaining a close connection with the archaeological and ecological data that are essential for their comprehensive interpretation. Large scale, geographically and chronologically unrestricted databases provide us with essentially unlimited scope for putting individual sites into a broader context and applying locally collated data to the investigation of earth system level changes. By providing integrated access to data from a variety of proxies, including plant macrofossils, pollen, insects and geochemistry, along with dating evidence, more complex questions can be answered where any single proxy would not be able to provide comprehensive answers.

  • Predicting island beetle faunas by their climate ranges : the tabula rasa/refugia theory in the North Atlantic
  • 2015
  • Ingår i: Journal of Biogeography. - : Wiley-Blackwell. - 0305-0270 .- 1365-2699. ; 42:11, s. 2031-2048
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Aim: This paper addresses two opposing theories put forward for the origins of the beetle fauna of the North Atlantic islands. The first is that the biota of the isolated oceanic islands of the Faroes, Iceland and Greenland immigrated across a Palaeogene–Neogene land bridge from Europe, and survived Pleistocene glaciations in ameliorated refugia. The second argues for a tabula rasa in which the biota of the islands was exterminated during glaciations and is Holocene in origin. The crux of these theories lies in the ability of the flora and fauna to survive in a range of environmental extremes. This paper sets out to assess the viability of the refugia hypothesis using the climatic tolerances of one aspect of the biota: the beetle fauna. Location: The paper focuses on Iceland, the Faroe Islands and Greenland. Methods: The known temperature requirements of the recorded beetle faunas of the North Atlantic islands were compared with published proxy climate reconstructions for successive climate periods since the severing of a North Atlantic land bridge. We used the MCR (mutual climatic range) method available in the open access BugsCEP database software. Results: We show that most of the MCR faunas of the North Atlantic islands could not have survived in situ since the Palaeogene–Neogene, and are likely to have been exterminated by the Pleistocene glaciations. Main conclusions: The discrepancy between the climatic tolerances of the North Atlantic beetle fauna and the estimated climatic regimes since the severing of a land bridge strongly support the tabula rasa theory and suggests that the North Atlantic coleopteran fauna is Holocene in origin.

  • Conformal prediction to define applicability domain : A case study on predicting ER and AR binding
  • 2016
  • Ingår i: SAR and QSAR in environmental research (Print). - : Taylor & Francis. - 1062-936X .- 1029-046X. ; 27:4, s. 303-316

    • A fundamental element when deriving a robust and predictive in silico model is not only the statistical quality of the model in question but, equally important, the estimate of its predictive boundaries. This work presents a new method, conformal prediction, for applicability domain estimation in the field of endocrine disruptors. The method is applied to binders and non-binders related to the oestrogen and androgen receptors. Ensembles of decision trees are used as statistical method and three different sets (dragon, rdkit and signature fingerprints) are investigated as chemical descriptors. The conformal prediction method results in valid models where there is an excellent balance in quality between the internally validated training set and the corresponding external test set, both in terms of validity and with respect to sensitivity and specificity. With this method the level of confidence can be readily altered by the user and the consequences thereof immediately inspected. Furthermore, the predictive boundaries for the derived models are rigorously defined by using the conformal prediction framework, thus no ambiguity exists as to the level of similarity needed for new compounds to be in or out of the predictive boundaries of the derived models where reliable predictions can be expected.

  • The Norway spruce genome sequence and conifer genome evolution
  • 2013
  • Ingår i: Nature. - : Nature Publishing Group. - 0028-0836 .- 1476-4687. ; 497:7451, s. 579-584

    • Conifers have dominated forests for more than 200 million years and are of huge ecological and economic importance. Here we present the draft assembly of the 20-gigabase genome of Norway spruce (Picea abies), the first available for any gymnosperm. The number of well-supported genes (28,354) is similar to the >100 times smaller genome of Arabidopsis thaliana, and there is no evidence of a recent whole-genome duplication in the gymnosperm lineage. Instead, the large genome size seems to result from the slow and steady accumulation of a diverse set of long-terminal repeat transposable elements, possibly owing to the lack of an efficient elimination mechanism. Comparative sequencing of Pinus sylvestris, Abies sibirica, Juniperus communis, Taxus baccata and Gnetum gnemon reveals that the transposable element diversity is shared among extant conifers. Expression of 24-nucleotide small RNAs, previously implicated in transposable element silencing, is tissue-specific and much lower than in other plants. We further identify numerous long (>10,000 base pairs) introns, gene-like fragments, uncharacterized long non-coding RNAs and short RNAs. This opens up new genomic avenues for conifer forestry and breeding.

  • Intramolecular isotope analysis reveals plant ecophysiological signals covering multiple timescales
  • 2019
  • Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • Our societies' wellbeing relies on stable and healthy environments. However, our current lifestyles, growth-oriented economic policies and the population explosion are leading to potentially catastrophic degradation of ecosystems and progressive disruption of food chains. Hopefully, more clarity about what the future holds in store will trigger stronger efforts to find, and adopt, problem-focused coping strategies and encourage environmentally friendly lifestyles.Forecasting environmental change/destruction is complicated (inter alia) by lack of complete understanding of plant-environment interactions, particularly those involved in slow processes such as plant acclimatisation and adaptation. This stems from deficiencies in tools to analyse such slow processes. The present work aims at developing tools that can provide retrospective ecophysiological information covering timescales from days to millennia.Natural archives, such as tree-rings, preserve plant metabolites over long timescales. Analyses of intramolecular isotope abundances in plant metabolites have the potential to provide retrospective information about metabolic processes and underlying environmental controls. Thus, my colleagues and I (hereafter we) analysed intramolecular isotope patterns in tree rings to develop analytical tools that can convey information about clearly-defined plant metabolic processes over multiple timescales. Such tools might help (inter alia) to constrain plants' capacities to sequester excess amounts of anthropogenic CO2; the so-called CO2 fertilisation effect. This, in turn, might shed light on plants' sink strength for the greenhouse gas CO2, and future plant performance and growth under climate change.In the first of three studies, reported in appended papers, we analysed intramolecular 13C/12C ratios in tree-ring glucose. In six angiosperm and six gymnosperm species we found pronounced intramolecular 13C/12C differences, exceeding 10‰. These differences are transmitted into major global C pools, such as soil organic matter. Taking intramolecular 13C/12C differences into account might improve isotopic characterisation of soil metabolic processes and soil CO2 effluxes. In addition, we analysed intramolecular 13C/12C ratios in a Pinus nigra tree-ring archive spanning the period 1961 to 1995. These data revealed new ecophysiological 13C/12C signals, which can facilitate climate reconstructions and assessments of plant-environment interactions at higher resolution; thus providing higher quality information. We proposed that 13C/12C signals at glucose C-1 to C-2 derive from carbon injection into the Calvin-Benson cycle via the oxidative pentose phosphate pathway. We concluded that intramolecular 13C/12C measurements provide valuable new information about long-term metabolic dynamics for application in biogeochemistry, plant physiology, plant breeding, and paleoclimatology.In the second study, we developed a comprehensive theory on the metabolic and ecophysiological origins of 13C/12C signals at tree-ring glucose C-5 and C-6. According to this theory and theoretical implications of the first study on signals at C-1 to C-3, analysis of such intramolecular signals can provide information about several metabolic processes. At C-3, a well-known signal reflecting CO2 uptake is preserved. The glucose-6-phosphate shunt around the Calvin-Benson cycle affects 13C/12C compositions at C-1 and C-2, while the 13C/12C signals at C-5 and C-6 reflect carbon fluxes into downstream metabolism. This theoretical framework enables further experimental studies to be conducted in a hypothesis-driven manner. In conclusion, the intramolecular approach provides information about carbon allocation in plant leaves. Thus, it gives access to long-term information on key ecophysiological processes, which could not be acquired by previous approaches.The abundance of the hydrogen isotope deuterium, δD, is important for linking the water cycle with plant ecophysiology. The main factors affecting δD in plant organic matter are commonly assumed to be the δD in source water and leaf-level evaporative enrichment. Current δD models incorporate biochemical D fractionations as constants. In the third study we showed that biochemical D fractionations respond strongly to low ambient CO2 levels and low light intensity. Thus, models of δD values in plant organic matter should incorporate biochemical fractionations as variables. In addition, we found pronounced leaf-level δD differences between α-cellulose and wax n-alkanes. We explained this by metabolite-specific contributions of distinct hydrogen sources during biosynthesis.Overall, this work advances our understanding of isotope distributions and isotope fractionations in plants. It reveals the immense potential of intramolecular isotope analyses for retrospective assessment of plant metabolism and associated environmental controls.
