This study aims to elucidate the spatiotemporal variations and environmental heterogeneity of phytoplankton communities in the CRE, as well as to understand the factors driving their assemblage. Utilizing ecological survey data collected from the CRE and adjacent waters during spring and summer from 2018 to 2020, we conducted a spatiotemporal analysis of phytoplankton β-diversity in the region. We decomposed β-diversity into species contributions to β-diversity(SCBD)and local contributions to β-diversity(LCBD) to examine spatial differences in phytoplankton diversity and the contributions of individual species within the community. Our findings reveal that spatial differences, primarily driven by water salinity and distance from the coastline, are key factors influencing the heterogeneity of phytoplankton community composition. Key species such as Skeletonema costatum, Melosira granulata, and M. granulata var.angustissima significantly affected β-diversity. Further, β-diversity decomposition reveals that community assembly is driven by interactive biogeochemical forces: salinity gradients shape spatial heterogeneity through runoff-seawater mixing, eutrophic conditions promote the dominance of nutrient-dependent taxa, and silica availability regulates diatom-to-flagellate succession. This study provides a methodological paradigm for analyzing phytoplankton community assembly mechanisms in estuaries, thereby offering scientific support for biogeography-based ecosystem management in the CRE.展开更多

文摘Due to water conflicts and allocation in the Lancang-Mekong River Basin(LMRB),the spatio-temporal differentiation of total water resources and the natural-human influence need to be clarified.This work investigated LMRB's terrestrial water storage anomaly(TWSA)and its spatio-temporal dynamics during 2002–2020.Considering the effects of natural factors and human activities,the respective contributions of climate variability and human activities to terrestrial water storage change(TWSC)were separated.Results showed that:(1)LMRB's TWSA decreased by 0.3158 cm/a.(2)TWSA showed a gradual increase in distribution from southwest of MRB to middle LMRB and from northeast of LRB to middle LMRB.TWSA positively changed in Myanmar while slightly changed in Laos and China.It negatively changed in Vietnam,Thailand and Cambodia.(3)TWSA components decreased in a descending order of soil moisture,groundwater and precipitation.(4)Natural factors had a substantial and spatial differentiated influence on TWSA over the LMRB.(5)Climate variability contributed 79%of TWSC in the LMRB while human activities contributed 21%with an increasing impact after 2008.The TWSC of upstream basin countries was found to be controlled by climate variability while Vietnam and Cambodia's TWSC has been controlled by human activities since 2012.

文摘Precipitation isotopes(δ^(18)O and δ^(2)H)are closely related to meteorological conditions for precipitation generation and the initial state of water vapor source areas,and are essential to the study of the regional hydrological cycle.The deuterium excess(d-excess)indicates deviation in isotope fractionation during evaporation and can trace water vapor sources.This study analyzed 443 precipitation samples collected from the Gannan Plateau,China in 2022 to assess precipitation isotope variations and their driving factors.Water vapor sources were evaluated using the Hybrid Single-Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory(HYSPLIT),Concentration Weighted Trajectory(CWT),and Potential Source Contribution Factor(PSCF)models.Results showed that precipitation isotope values showed significant spatial and temporal variations on the Gannan Plateau.Temporally,precipitation isotope values peaked in June(when evaporation dominated)and minimized in March(depletion effect of air masses in the westerly wind belt).Spatially,the isotope values showed a distribution pattern of"high in the east and low in the west",which was mainly regulated by the differences in altitude and local meteorological conditions.Compared with the global meteoric water line(GMWL)with equation of δ^(2)H=8.00δ^(18)O+10.00,the slope and intercept of local meteoric water line(LMWL)for precipitation on the Gannan Plateau were smaller(7.49 and 7.63,respectively),reflecting the existence of a stronger secondary evaporation effect under the clouds in the region.The sources of water vapor on the Gannan Plateau showed significant seasonality and spatial heterogeneity.Specifically,the westerly belt and monsoon were the main water vapor transport paths at each sampling point,with Central Asian continental water vapor dominating in spring(53.49%),Indian Ocean water vapor dominating in summer(52.53%),Atlantic Ocean water vapor dominating in autumn(46.74%),and Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea water vapor dominating in winter(42.30%and 33.68%,respectively).Changes in the intensity of convective activity and Outgoing Longwave Radiation(OLR)affected the enrichment of isotopic values,which exhibited the same change trends as δ^(18)O.During the precipitation process,the δ^(18)O value first decreased and then increased.During the initial and final stages of precipitation process,precipitation was mainly influenced by continental air masses,while during the middle stage,it was controlled by marine air masses.The systematic research on precipitation isotopes and water vapor sources is important for climate change research and extreme precipitation prediction on the Gannan Plateau and other similar areas.

文摘The arsenic(As)release from sediments in great lakes is affected by various factors.In this study,the characteristics of As release fromsediments was investigated,and the As sources and sinks with the strengths in sediments from different areas(grass-type,algae-type,and grass-algae alternation areas)in great shallow lakes(Taihu Lake,China)were analyzed,and the influence of P competition in the process of As release was also studied.The results showed that changing trend of the values of equilibrium As concentration in sediments were consistent with the regional changes(0 to 28.12μg/L),and the sediments from algaetype areas had the higher values.The sediments from western lake and northwest lake bay were a strong As and a weak P source,and the north lake bay had the opposite trend of these two regions.Intense P source competition with As from the sediments occurred in algae-type areas.The grass-type areas had strong As and P retention capacities,indicating a sink role of sediment with high As and P sorption capacities.The degree of As and P saturation had similar trend in sediments,and the grass-type areas had the higher values,18.3%-21.4%and 15.31%-20.34%,respectively.Contribution analysis results showed that most of As release contribution was from the bottom(30-50 cm)sediments,and the surface(0-10 cm)sediments from algae-type areas contributed more to the overlying water than other region.

文摘The Changjiang River Estuary(CRE) and its offshore plumes host a diverse phytoplankton community;however, the spatiotemporal dynamics of these microorganisms and their environmental drivers remain poorly understood. This study aims to elucidate the spatiotemporal variations and environmental heterogeneity of phytoplankton communities in the CRE, as well as to understand the factors driving their assemblage. Utilizing ecological survey data collected from the CRE and adjacent waters during spring and summer from 2018 to 2020, we conducted a spatiotemporal analysis of phytoplankton β-diversity in the region. We decomposed β-diversity into species contributions to β-diversity(SCBD)and local contributions to β-diversity(LCBD) to examine spatial differences in phytoplankton diversity and the contributions of individual species within the community. Our findings reveal that spatial differences, primarily driven by water salinity and distance from the coastline, are key factors influencing the heterogeneity of phytoplankton community composition. Key species such as Skeletonema costatum, Melosira granulata, and M. granulata var.angustissima significantly affected β-diversity. Further, β-diversity decomposition reveals that community assembly is driven by interactive biogeochemical forces: salinity gradients shape spatial heterogeneity through runoff-seawater mixing, eutrophic conditions promote the dominance of nutrient-dependent taxa, and silica availability regulates diatom-to-flagellate succession. This study provides a methodological paradigm for analyzing phytoplankton community assembly mechanisms in estuaries, thereby offering scientific support for biogeography-based ecosystem management in the CRE.

文摘During high-temperature periods in summer,formaldehyde(HCHO)levels increase due to secondary production.However,recent studies have also shown a rise in the HCHO concentration in winter,but the underlying cause remains unclear.Here,HCHO observations in urban Beijing were conducted,the impact of meteorological differences between warm and cold seasons to HCHO concentrations was investigated.Additionally,the positive matrix factorization model was applied to the source apportionment of HCHO,with a focus on changes during pollution events.The results indicated that,during warm seasons,the secondary production of HCHO was driven by high temperature influenced by the low-pressure front,with the contribution of secondary production+background peaking at 85.9% in the afternoon,exhibiting a unimodal diurnal variation.Conversely,during cold seasons,the influence of a uniform pressure field,coupled with weak winds,low boundary layers and high humidity,led to HCHO accumulation from primary emissions,resulting in multiday highconcentration pollution.During the most severe pollution periods,anthropogenic primary emissions contributed up to 91.7%.Therefore,while the contribution of volatile organic compounds to HCHO levels through secondary production has been recognized,the significant impact of primary emissions during cold seasons cannot be overlooked.
