Response LetterPaper number: NODY-D-15-00088Paper title: Event-Triggered Control for Multi-Agent Network with Limited Digital CommunicationAuthors:Dear Editor-in-chief, Associate Editor and Anonymous Reviewers,We would like to thank you for your efforts in reviewing our manuscript and providing many helpful comments and suggestions. Those comments are all valuable and very helpful for revising and improving our paper, as well as the important guiding significance to our researches. We have studied comments very carefully. Based on your criticisms, comments and suggestions, we have revised the manuscript accordingly. The details are explained below, where the number of the response is in correspondence with the number of the reviewers’ comments and su ggestions.Reply to the Associate EditorAccording to the AE’s and reviewers’ criticisms, comments and suggestions, we have modified the manuscript carefully. The description of a substantial revision and the detailed points to the review reports can be seen in the following responses and in the new revision. Moreover, we have also checked other derivations throughout the paper and some necessary explanations are also included.We would like to thank the reviewer’s great efforts in reading our manuscript and for your constructive comments and suggestions. Our responses to the comments and suggestions are listed as follows:1. Consensus with communication constraints is indeed a quite interesting topic in field of multi-agent systems, the following work on consensus of second-order multi-agent systems may be briefly mentioned: Int. J. Robust and Nonlinear Control, 22(2):170-182, 2012.Reply:The relevant works of communication constraints in Int. J. Robust and Nonlinear Control is really worth mentioning, and this reference has been added in new revision.2. The communication topology is assumed to be undirected, whether it is possible to do some further work on directed or switching topologies. One more remark may be added to the manuscript to state this issue.Reply:This suggestion is very nice and reasonable. The directed and switching topologies cases will be our future works, and the remark has been provided in the future works part of conclusion.We would like to thank the reviewer ’s great efforts in reading our manuscript and for your constructive comments and suggestions. Our responses to the comments and suggestions are listed as follows:1. The proof of Theorem 1 is not clear. It didn’t show what is the convergence setvery important obviously.Reply: This suggestion is very helpful, and I have rewritten the Theorem 1. I’m sure the new version is much clearer than the old one.2. There are some errors in the proof of Theorem 1. For example,(i) How to determine l in the last line of formula (16). There is no any constraint for l.(ii) The same problem appeared in the last line and previous line of formula (18).Reply: I am very sorry for my carelessness. The last expression ˆ(t )l ll k xin formula (16) and (18) should be replaced by ˆ(t )i ii k x. Now the total four mistakes in formula (16) and (18) have been corrected in revised version. To avoid the similar mistakes, I have also checked the other derivations throughout the manuscript. Again thanks for your carefulness and tolerance.3. What is the function of parameter i σ in the event triggering condition (8). Which performance does it affect? How to choose this parameter according to the demands of performance? The analysis should be given.Reply: This suggestion is very reasonable. Actually, this parameter’s main function is to adjust the performance of event triggering mechanism. Each agent’s event frequency has a great relationship with the parameter i σ. The larger i σ, the eventtimes are less and the performance is better. To obtain the best performance, we directly set 1σ=in revised version, i.e., we no longer define this parameter iexplicitly in revised version.Reply to Referees #3We would like to thank the reviewer ’s great efforts in reading our manuscript and for your constructive comments and suggestions. Our responses to the comments and suggestions are listed as follows:1. The main advantage of this work should be further strengthened in Introduction. Reply: Sincerely thanks for your helpful suggestion. I have rewritten the contribution part in Introduction, and I’m sure the new version is much clearer than the old one.2. What are the novelty in the proposed scheme in this paper?Reply: There are four main novelties in this paper. First, we designed an integrated communication framework for digital multi-agent network, in which the event-triggered strategy and dynamic encode/decode scheme play an important role in communication process. Second, a distributed triggering condition that only depends on local state information of neighbor agents is developed and the corresponding consensus analysis is provided. Third, we gave the specific communication algorithm considering dynamic encode/decode scheme under event-triggered strategy, and we also proposed a self-adaptive quantization algorithm that builds a connection between quantization level and quantization factor. Last, we proposed an improved communication strategy named one-bit quantized scheme such that the global consensus can still be achieved based on only one bit information exchange between agents at each quantized transmission.3. In this Reviewer's opinion, in (6), \hat{e}_i(t) is infeasible since there is both $t$ and $t_k$. The authors should explain this point.Reply: Actually, it is feasible. Here we give the detailed explanation. Just like the statements before the Algorithm 1, we assume each agent i has a memory that canstore its own instant state ()i x t , state estimate ˆ()i xt , and its all neighbor stateestimates ˆ(),j i xt j N ∈. Furthermore, the initial states of all agents are given as ()1(0)(0),,(0)TN x x x =⋯, the all initial event time 0i t and all state estimates ˆ(0),i 1,,i xN = are initialized to 0. Then the Algorithm 1 can be carried out step by step. According to the Algorithm 1 and Remark 1, we can know that the work time of encoder/decoder is only the event time of relevant agents, once the event is triggered, then the corresponding measurement state estimate is updated and rewritten to thememory . As a result, the actuator i can directly obtain ()i x t and ˆ()ii i k x t from its memory to compute the measurement error ˆ()i et .4. The authors should check some typos.Reply: I have checked the manuscript again, and found there really exists some typos. Besides, I have also made some corrections based on my friends’ suggestions. Again thanks for your carefulness and tolerance.Finally, we would like to thank the referees again for the careful reading of our paper. In addition, we have revised the manuscript carefully and believe that the new version is much better than the old one. Hope the revised version is acceptable.Best wishes,Y our name,May 28, 2015.。

英文回复信范例R e s p o n s e L e t t e rDear Editors and Reviewers,Thank you for your letter and comments on our manuscript titled “Temporal variability in soil moisture after thinning in semi-arid Picea crassifolia plantations in northwestern China” (FORECO_2017_459). These comments helped us improve our manuscript, and provided important guidance for future research.We have addressed the editor’s and the reviewers’ comments to the best of our abilities, and revised text to meet the Forest Ecology and Management style requirements. We hope this meets your requirements for a publication.We marked the revised portions in red and highlighted them yellow in the manuscript. The main comments and our specific responses are detailed below:Editor:Please explain how the results in this paper are significantly different from those in Zhu, X., He, Z.B., Du, J., Yang, J.J., Chen, L.F., 2015. Effects of thinning on the soil moisture of the Picea crassifolia plantation in Qilian Mountains. Forest Research. 28, 55–60.)Response:We apologize for our earlier lack of clarity about the differences between our study and those in “Zhu, X., He, Z.B., Du, J., Yang, J.J., Chen, L.F., 2015. Effects of thinning on the soil moisture of the Picea crassifolia plantation in QilianMountains. Forest Research. 28, 55–60” (named “previous article” below). Specifically, we found three main differences in the temporal variability and hydrological responses of soil moisture between our study and the “previous article”.First, the scope of data analysis and use were different: T he “previous article”just applied the one growing season data (from June 28th to October 25th 2013) from the natural forest and the plantations with no thinning and thinned in 20% intensity. In addition, t he “previous article” also has not considered the effect of 40% thinning on the soil moisture of the Picea crassifolia plantation. However, in the present study, we applied four years data (from June 27th 2012 to October 30th 2015 in HD and NF; from January 1th 2014 to October 29th 2015 in MD and LD) from the natural forest and the plantations with no thinning, thinned in 20%, and thinned in 40% intensity to analysis the temporal variability and hydrological responses of soil moisture in semi-arid Picea crassifolia plantations in northwestern China.Second, the content of the research was different: The “previous article” only considered the spatial and temporal dynamic changes of soil moisture, but did not involve the inter-annual, and seasonal dynamic changes of the soil moisture. In the present study, however, not only did we considered the effects of thinning on the spatial and temporal dynamic changes, the inter-annual changes, and seasonal dynamic changes of the soil moisture; but we also considered the changes in soil hydrological response after thinning. Our goals were to understand the changes in soil hydrological response and soil moisture dynamics, and to determine whether thinningmanagement can effectively improve the state of soil moisture in the subalpine Picea crassifolia plantations in the Qilian Mountains.Third, the research purpose and the result were also different: The mainly purpose of the “previous article” was to preliminary explore the thinning on the plantation forest soil moisture, and they found that the intermediate thinning can significantly increase soil moisture content at the depth of 60 cm. However, they didn’t point out that which or what the thinning intensity or plantation density can be benefit to sustainability of planted forests in these water-limited regions. In this study, not only we did confirmed that the intermediate thinning can significantly increase soil moisture content at the deep soil layer, but we also found that high planting density was the main cause of severe soil moisture deficits in the long-term, and it could be mitigated by 20 - 40% thinning (~3139 trees ha-1). In addition, by investigating the effect of thinning on the soil hydrological response, we found that soil hydrological response may be temporarily modified by thinning according to changes in canopy structure, precipitation properties, and antecedent soil moisture conditions. Soil moisture in natural forest rapidly infiltrated into deep soil, which greatly improved the efficiency of precipitation use. Thinning significantly increased the capacity for soil infiltration, and moderate thinning intensity may be conducive to deep soil-water recharge. Further, according to the global circulation prediction models and trend analysis results and weather patterns, deep VSWC may increase if precipitation patterns shift to produce larger but less frequent rainfall events duringthe growing season, and this change will benefit growth of the vegetation planted at higher density in this semi-arid region.Reviewer 1I found the topic very interesting. The scientific (experimental) set-up is valid and the data is presented clearly, and analyzed in detail. My detailed comments are all in the attached pdf-file.Response: Thank you for your encouraging remarks and valuable comments. We corrected our text according to your comments submitted in the attached pdf-file. Our responses to your comments are as follows:Comments in attached pdf-file1. Keywords: maybe re-consider “Rainfall”Response: We fully agree that it is necessary to re-consider “Rainfall” in the Keywords section. In addition, the statement of “Rainfall” was corrected as “Soil hydrological response” (L31).2. Ln. 37: Expand, i.e. why are these specific regions water-limited.Response: We apologize for our earlier lack of clarity. To increase clarity, we have re-written this sentence accordingly, and we have corrected “Grassland afforestation is critical in efforts to prevent wide-spread land degradation in arid and semi-arid regions of China (Chen et al., 2008a; Yang et al., 2014). However, sustainability of planted forests is severely limited by soil moisture conditions. Soil moisture is fundamental to sustainability in water-limited ecosystems (Newman et al., 2006; Yang et al., 2014).” as “Grassland afforestation is critical in efforts to prevent wide-spread land degradation in arid and semi-arid regions of China (Chen et al., 2008a; Yang et al., 2014), where rainfall is the main source of soil moisture, and where many vegetation restoration projects were implemented (Li, 2004). However, soil moisture is the most crucial factor to sustainability of planted forests in these water-limited ecosystems (Newman et al., 2006; Yang et al., 2014). (L35-40)”.3. Ln. 47: What is meant by “statistical moments of soil moisture, such as mean and variance”?Response: It is meant that changes to canopy structure due to large-scale clearings or intermediate disturbance events may lead to changes in the mean and the variance of the soil moisture. We amended our text to clarify, and now it reads: “Changes to forest canopy structure due to large-scale harvesting may lead to changes in soil properties, residual tree growth, and the mean and the variance of the soil moisture(Chen et al., 1993; Olchev et al., 2009; He et al., 2013; Kaarakka et al., 2014).” (L48-51).4. Ln. 60: add “ecosystems” (instead of cosystem)Response: The statement of “cosystem” was corrected as “ecosystems” (L62).5. Ln. 68: change “determining” to “affecting”Response: The statement of “determining” was corrected as “affecting” (L71).6. Ln. 71: Expand this sentence a bit. Growing season – where? At the studied region/area?Response: To increase clarity, we have re-written this sentence accordingly (L71-75). And our studied region/area is also experiencing this precipitation patterns, with larger but less frequent rainfall events during the growing season, and more frequent extreme hydrological events.7. Ln. 74–80: Heisler-White, He et al. and Sun et al. → showed where, in what type of ecosystem, how does it relate to the studied one, i.e. elaborate more on how these studies relate to the current one.Response: That was an excellent suggestion, and we have made revisions according to your comments (L78-80, L83, L85-86). The study of Heisler-White et al. (2008) provides a background knowledge of the supply of the precipitation on soil profile. The studies of He et al. (2012) and Sun et al. (2015) investigated the soil moisture dynamics of typical ecosystems (forestland, shrubland, grassland, and meadows) in response to precipitation, which can provide a reference for our research.提供背景知识，了解降水对土壤的补给情况；He et al. and Sun et al.的研究研究了祁连山天然植被（林地、草地和灌丛）的土壤水分情况，是本文章研究的基础。

Specifically, we found three main differences in the temporal variability and hydrological responses of soil moisture between our study and the “previous article”.First, the scope of data analysis and use were different:The “previous article”just applied the one growing season data (from June 28th to October 25th2013) from the natural forest and the plantations with no thinning and thinned in 20% intensity. In addition, t he “previous article”also has not considered the effect of 40% thinning on the soil moisture of the Picea crassifolia plantation. However, in the present study, we applied four years data (from June 27th2012 to October 30th2015 in HD and NF; from January 1th2014 to October 29th2015 in MD and LD) from the natural forest and the plantations with no thinning, thinned in 20%, and thinned in 40% intensity to analysis the temporal variability and hydrological responses of soil moisture in semi-arid Picea crassifolia plantations in northwestern China.Second, the content of the research was different: The “previous article”only considered the spatial and temporal dynamic changes of soil moisture, but did not involve the inter-annual, and seasonal dynamicchanges of the soil moisture. In the present study, however, not only did we considered the effects of thinning on the spatial and temporal dynamic changes,the inter-annual changes, and seasonal dynamic changes of the soil moisture; but we also considered the changes in soil hydrological response after thinning.Our goals were to understand the changes in soil hydrological response and soil moisture dynamics, and to determine whether thinning management can effectively improve the state of soil moisture in the subalpine Picea crassifolia plantations in the Qilian Mountains.Third, the research purpose and the result were also different: The mainly purpose of the “previous article”was to preliminary explore the thinning on the plantation forest soil moisture, and they found that the intermediate thinning can significantly increase soil moisture content at the depth of 60 cm. However, they didn’t point out that which or what the thinning intensity or plantation density can be benefit to sustainability of planted forests in these water-limited regions. In this study, not only we did confirmed that the intermediate thinning can significantly increase soil moisture content at the deep soil layer, but we also found that high planting density was the main cause of severe soil moisture deficits in the long-term, and it could be mitigated by 20 - 40% thinning (~3139 trees ha-1).In addition, by investigating the effect of thinning on the soil hydrological response, we found that soilhydrological response may be temporarily modified by thinning according to changes in canopy structure, precipitation properties, and antecedent soil moisture conditions. Soil moisture in natural forest rapidly infiltrated into deep soil, which greatly improved the efficiency of precipitation use. Thinning significantly increased the capacity for soil infiltration, and moderate thinning intensity may be conducive to deep soil-water recharge. Further, according to the global circulation prediction models and trend analysis results and weather patterns, deep VSWC may increase if precipitation patterns shift to produce larger but less frequent rainfall events during the growing season, and this change will benefit growth of the vegetation planted at higher density in this semi-arid region.Reviewer 1I found the topic very interesting. The scientific (experimental) set-up is valid and the data is presented clearly, and analyzed in detail. My detailed comments are all in the attached pdf-file.Response: Thank you for your encouraging remarks and valuable comments. We corrected our text according to your comments submitted in the attached pdf-file. Our responses to your comments are as follows:Comments in attached pdf-file1. Keywords: maybe re-consider “Rainfall”Response:We fully agree that it is necessary to re-consider “Rainfall”in the Keywords section. In addition, the statement of “Rainfall” was corrected as “Soil hydrological response” (L31).2. Ln. 37: Expand, i.e. why are these specific regions water-limited.Response: We apologize for our earlier lack of clarity. To increase clarity, we have re-written this sentence accordingly, and we have corrected “Grassland afforestation is critical in efforts to prevent wide-spread land degradation in arid and semi-arid regions of China (Chen et al., 2008a; Yang et al., 2014). However, sustainability of planted forests is severely limited by soil moisture conditions. Soil moisture is fundamental to sustainability in water-limited ecosystems (Newman et al., 2006; Yang et al., 2014).” as “Grassland afforestation is critical in efforts to prevent wide-spread land degradation in arid and semi-arid regions of China (Chen et al., 2008a; Yang et al., 2014), where rainfall is the main source of soil moisture, and where many vegetation restorationprojects were implemented (Li, 2004). However, soil moisture is the most crucial factor to sustainability of planted forests in these water-limited ecosystems (Newman et al., 2006; Yang et al., 2014). (L35-40)”.3. Ln. 47: What is meant by “statistical moments of soil moisture, such as mean and variance”?Response: It is meant that changes to canopy structure due to large-scale clearings or intermediate disturbance events may lead to changes in the mean and the variance of the soil moisture. We amended our text to clarify, and now it reads: “Changes to forest canopy structure due to large-scale harvesting may lead to changes in soil properties, residual tree growth, and the mean and the variance of the soil moisture (Chen et al., 1993; Olchev et al., 2009; He et al., 2013; Kaarakka et al., 2014).” (L48-51).4. Ln. 60: add “ecosystems” (instead of cosystem)Response:The statement of “cosystem” was corrected as “ecosystems”(L62).5. Ln. 68: change “determining” to “affecting”Response:The statement of “determining” was corrected as “affecting” (L71).6. Ln. 71: Expand this sentence a bit. Growing season – where? At the studied region/area?Response: To increase clarity, we have re-written this sentence accordingly (L71-75). And our studied region/area is also experiencing this precipitation patterns, with larger but less frequent rainfall events during the growing season, and more frequent extreme hydrological events.7. Ln. 74–80: Heisler-White, He et al. and Sun et al. → showed where, in what type of ecosystem, how does it relate to the studied one, i.e. elaborate more on how these studies relate to the current one.Response:That was an excellent suggestion, and we have made revisions according to your comments (L78-80, L83, L85-86).The study of Heisler-White et al. (2008) provides a background knowledge of the supply of the precipitation on soil profile. The studies of He et al. (2012) and Sun et al. (2015) investigated the soil moisture dynamics of typicalecosystems (forestland, shrubland, grassland, and meadows) in response to precipitation, which can provide a reference for our research.提供背景知识，了解降水对土壤的补给情况；He et al. and Sun et al.的研究研究了祁连山天然植被（林地、草地和灌丛）的土壤水分情况，是本文章研究的基础。
