High Dimension Multivariate Data Analysis for Small Group Samples of chemical Volatile Profiles of African Nightshade Species

Journal of Data Analysis and Information Processing 2024年第2期12卷 210-231页

Quantitative headspace analysis of volatiles emitted by plants or any other living organisms in chemical ecology studies generates large multidimensional data that require extensive mining and refining to extract useful information. More often the number of variables and the quantified volatile compounds exceed the number of observations or samples and hence many traditional statistical analysis methods become inefficient. Here, we employed machine learning algorithm, random forest (RF) in combination with distance-based procedure, similarity percentage (SIMPER) as preprocessing steps to reduce the data dimensionality in the chemical profiles of volatiles from three African nightshade plant species before subjecting the data to non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS). In addition, non-parametric methods namely permutational multivariate analysis of variance (PERMANOVA) and analysis of similarities (ANOSIM) were applied to test hypothesis of differences among the African nightshade species based on the volatiles profiles and ascertain the patterns revealed by NMDS plots. Our results revealed that there were significant differences among the African nightshade species when the data’s dimension was reduced using RF variable importance and SIMPER, as also supported by NMDS plots that showed S. scabrum being separated from S. villosum and S. sarrachoides based on the reduced data variables. The novelty of our work is on the merits of using data reduction techniques to successfully reveal differences in groups which could have otherwise not been the case if the analysis were performed on the entire original data matrix characterized by small samples. The R code used in the analysis has been shared herein for interested researchers to customise it for their own data of similar nature.

Positive effect of carbohydrate-metabolizing bacteria determines increasing soil organic carbon during long-term fertilization and straw returning in the black soil region of China

In the context of global efforts to reduce carbon (C) emissions, several studies have examined the effects of agricultural practices such as straw returning and fertilization on C sequestration by microorganisms. However, our understanding of the specific microbial groups and their roles in long-term C increase remains limited. In this study, a 36-year (1984–2020) farmland experiment was conducted to investigate the impact of bacterial C metabolism on the augmentation of organic C in a Typic Hapludoll (Mollisol) in the black soil region of Jilin Province, Northeast China. Our results demonstrated a noteworthy increase in the diversity of microorganisms in the farmland as a result of long-term straw returning and application of mixed chemical fertilizers. However,by examining the functions of microorganisms involved in C metabolism, it was observed that the effects of fertilization on C metabolism were relatively consistent. This consistency was attributed to a deterministic competitive exclusion process, which minimized the differences between treatment groups. On the other hand, the influence of straw addition on C metabolism appeared to follow a more random pattern. These changes in microbial activity were closely linked to the downregulation of core metabolic pathways related to C metabolism. Notably, long-term fertilization had a negative impact on soil organic C levels, while long-term straw returning plus fertilization resulted in a positive increase in soil organic C. These findings have important implications for enhancing soil organic C and grain yield in the regions with typical black soil.

Mapping Air Quality Using Remote Sensing Technology: A Case Study of Nairobi County

引用

Open Journal of Air Pollution 2024年第1期13卷 1-22页

作者： Quinto Juma Meltus Faith Njoki Karanja Geospatial Engineering department The University of Nairobi (UoN) Nairobi Kenya Data Management Modeling and Geoinformation Unit (DMMG) International Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology (ICIPE) Nairobi Kenya

Nairobi County experiences rapid industrialization and urbanization that contributes to the deteriorating state of air quality, posing a potential health risk to its growing population. Currently, in Nairobi County, most air quality monitoring stations use low-cost, inaccurate monitors prone to defects. The study’s objective was to map Nairobi County’s air quality using freely available remotely sensed imagery. The Air Pollution Index (API) formula was used to characterize the air quality from cloud-free Landsat satellite images i.e., Landsat 5 TM, Landsat 7 ETM+, and Landsat 8 OLI from Google Earth Engine. The API values were computed based on vegetation indices namely NDVI, TVI, DVI, and the SWIR1 and NIR bands on the QGIS platform. Qualitative accuracy assessment was done using sample points drawn from residential, industrial, green spaces, and traffic hotspot categories, based on a passive-random sampling technique. In this study, Landsat 5 API imagery for 2010 provided a reliable representation of local conditions but indicated significant pollution in green spaces, with recorded values ranging from -143 to 334. The study found that Landsat 7 API imagery in 2002 showed expected results with the range of values being -55 to 287, while Landsat 8 indicated high pollution levels in Nairobi. The results emphasized the importance of air quality factors in API calibration and the unmatched spatial coverage of satellite observations over ground-based monitoring techniques. The study recommends the recalibration of the API formula for characteristic regions, exploring newer satellite sensors like those onboard Landsat 9 and Sentinel 2, and involving key stakeholders in a discourse to develop a suitable Kenyan air quality index.
