Effect of climate change induced extreme precipitation on landslide activity in the Three Gorges Reservoir, China

Dengfeng Zhu et al.

Summary: Climate change has caused an increase in extreme rainfall and snowfall around the world, such as in the Three Gorges Reservoir area. The combination of high water levels and heavy precipitation creates a special hydrological environment, leading to geological disasters like the Yanguan landslide. Through field investigations and numerical simulations, the combined effects of high water and heavy precipitation can be analyzed and evaluated.

Lake warming intensifies the seasonal pattern of internal nutrient cycling in the eutrophic lake and potential impacts on algal blooms

Tong Yindong et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the impact of lake warming on the internal nutrient cycling in eutrophic lakes using data from Lake Chaohu in China. It found that internal nutrient loading plays a key role in the seasonal variations of nutrient concentrations in the lake, and predicted that lake warming could lead to stronger seasonal fluctuations of internal loading, creating conditions for longer cyanobacteria blooms. These findings can help improve mitigation strategies for eutrophic lake restoration.

Spatial patterning of chlorophyll a and water-quality measurements for determining environmental thresholds for local eutrophication in the Nakdong River basin

Hyo Gyeom Kim et al.

Summary: The study highlights the importance of focusing on susceptible regions to eutrophication in the management of water quality in river ecosystems based on proper measurements. By examining the stress response relationships between nutrients and phytoplankton productivity, ecologically acceptable stressor thresholds can be derived under field conditions. The combination of a geographically specialized artificial neural network and linear mixed-effect models was effective in classifying and understanding spatio-temporal variations in stressor relationships in the Nakdong River basin.

Nutrient limitation of phytoplankton in Chesapeake Bay: Development of an empirical approach for water-quality management

Qian Zhang et al.

Summary: Understanding the temporal and spatial roles of nutrient limitation is crucial for successful management strategies in Chesapeake Bay. Analysis of historical data shows expanded areas of nitrogen limitation and reduced nutrient saturation in response to long-term reductions in nitrogen load. However, nutrient limitation patterns remain largely unchanged in the majority of the mainstem, indicating the need for further reduction in nutrient loads to achieve a less nutrient-saturated ecosystem.

Modeling the Effects of Hydrodynamics on Thermal Stratification and Algal Blooms in the Xiangxi Bay of Three Gorges Reservoir

Hui Xu et al.

Summary: This study used numerical models to analyze the impact of hydrodynamics on phytoplankton growth and algal blooms, showing spatial and temporal differences in hydrodynamics in the Xiangxi Bay of the Three Gorges Reservoir. The mouth area exhibited dynamic hydrodynamics, while the middle and upper areas provided favorable conditions for algae growth.

Rapid Changes in the Phytoplankton Community of a Subtropical, Shallow, Hypereutrophic Lake During the Rainy Season

Osiris Diaz-Torres et al.

Summary: Lake Cajititlan in western Mexico is a small subtropical lake plagued by eutrophication due to untreated sewage discharges and excessive agricultural activities. The phytoplankton community in the lake undergoes significant changes during the rainy season, dominated by cyanobacteria. Rapid fluctuations in water quality and oxygen levels due to climatic variations may contribute to fish mortality in the lake.

Spatial-temporal distribution of sediment phosphorus with sediment transport in the Three Gorges Reservoir

Pan Wu et al.

Summary: Suspended sediment plays a crucial role in phosphorus adsorption in river catchments. Improved Langmuir models were used in this study to estimate the phosphorus adsorption capacity of suspended sediment in the Three Gorges Reservoir, China. The results showed a significant decrease in sediment phosphorus load entering the reservoir from 2003-2016, with the flood season transporting a large proportion of annual sediment phosphorus. Additionally, the increasing sediment particle size contributed to the reduction in sediment phosphorus load.

Water quality variation in tributaries of the Three Gorges Reservoir from 2000 to 2015

Rong Xiang et al.

Summary: The study investigated the spatiotemporal variations in water quality of the Three Gorges Reservoir tributaries, revealing that the water quality was mainly affected by the mainstream backwater movement. Overall, the water quality of tributaries was good and showed an improving trend, with upstream tributaries having better water quality compared to downstream areas and estuaries.

Spatiotemporal dynamics of succession and growth limitation of phytoplankton for nutrients and light in a large shallow lake

Xuemei Liu et al.

Summary: Understanding the growth and competition of phytoplankton under co-varying environmental conditions is crucial for the restoration of aquatic ecosystems. Different phytoplankton functional groups are limited by environmental factors such as light, nitrogen, and phosphorus, with total suspended solids suppressing the growth of some species but favoring others, and N:P ratios influencing the dominance of non-N-fixing or N-fixing cyanobacteria. These findings suggest that maintaining specific nutrient and TSS levels in lakes is essential for sustaining a good ecological status and improving water quality management practices.
