The Relationship Between Phytoplankton Diversity and Ecosystem Functioning Changes with Disturbance Regimes in Tropical Reservoirs

Yuping Xu et al.

Summary: The relationship between species diversity and ecosystem functioning is influenced by ecosystem type, organism type, and scale, and is also modulated by disturbance. Lakes, especially reservoirs, are highly disturbed ecosystems, and the relationship between species diversity and ecosystem functioning may differ from terrestrial ecosystems. We found different patterns in the relationship between species richness and productivity, resource use efficiency, and evenness.

Influences of water level fluctuation on water exchange and nutrient distribution in a bay: Evidence from the Xiangxi Bay, Three Gorges Reservoir

Wei He et al.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of water level fluctuations (WLFs) on bays in the Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) area. The results show that both upward and downward WLFs can change water exchange and nutrient distribution in the bays, which helps control nutrient concentrations and prevent algal blooms.

Macrophyte-Based Assessment of Upland Rivers: Bioindicators and Biomonitors

Gana Gecheva et al.

Summary: For the first time, a macrophyte-based assessment of ecological status was related to the accumulated heavy metals and trace elements in aquatic plants. Three moss and two vascular plant species were applied as biomonitors and three streams were found to be in good ecological status with low contamination. Two sites in moderate ecological status were revealed to be heavily contaminated with trace elements.

State of the climate in the Three Gorges Region of the Yangtze River basin in 2020

Tong Cui et al.

Summary: In 2020, the climate in the Three Gorges Region of the Yangtze River basin was generally normal, with temperatures close to normal and fewer high-temperature days. However, precipitation was significantly higher than usual, especially in the summer, reaching the second-highest level since 1961. Rainstorm days and wind speed were also above normal. The southward movement of cold air and abundant warm water vapor from the southwest were identified as the direct causes of the excessive precipitation, while the persistently high sea surface temperature in the Indian Ocean may have played a role in the abnormal climate conditions.

Nonlinear causal analysis reveals an effective water level regulation approach for phytoplankton blooms controlling in reservoirs

Lin Ye et al.

Summary: This study investigates the nonlinear causal relationship between water level fluctuation (WLF) and phytoplankton biomass using empirical dynamic modeling (EDM). It found that the water level change in the past 24 hours has the strongest causal effect on daily dynamics of phytoplankton biomass with a 2-day time lag. The rise and fall of water level both significantly impact phytoplankton blooms, with rising water level having a more substantial effect overall.

Contribution of the reservoir backflow to the eutrophication of its tributary: a case study of the Xiangxi River, China

Wenguang Luo et al.

Summary: Based on the analysis of water quality data, it was found that the nutrient flux in Xiangxi bay is negatively correlated with the water exchange between the reservoir and the tributaries. The variation of nutrient salts in the tributary bay is mainly determined by water exchange. By controlling the hydraulic conditions and water exchange, the water environment in Xiangxi bay can be improved.

Summary: This study developed a town-scale nutrient budget framework and analyzed the spatial characteristics of nutrient budget in the Three Gorges Reservoir area in China. The results showed spatial correlation and consistency of total nitrogen and total phosphorus inputs and outputs. This spatial pattern was mainly influenced by population density, elevation, vegetation index, and soil erosion factor.

Surface Water Quality and Health Risk Assessment in Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province (China)

Ziying Zhang et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the surface water quality in Taizhou City by collecting 419 water samples from 47 river sections. Nitrogen pollution was found to be serious in some locations, while 74.46% of the samples had excellent and good quality. Certain districts in the city were identified to have unacceptable non-carcinogenic risk in their surface water, while a potential carcinogenic risk was also observed in the area due to arsenic contamination.

GeoDAR: georeferenced global dams and reservoirs dataset for bridging attributes and geolocations

Jida Wang et al.

Summary: Dams and reservoirs are widespread human-made infrastructures, but there is a lack of comprehensive spatial inventories for them. Existing datasets either focus on dam quantity and spatial coverage or detailed attributes for limited dams. To bridge this gap, researchers have introduced a new dataset, GeoDAR, which provides spatially explicit information for dams and reservoirs worldwide. This dataset is expected to have significant implications for hydrologic modeling, water resource management, ecosystem health, and energy planning.

Summary: This study assessed the ecological conditions of lentic ecosystems in the western Mediterranean basin, demonstrating significant effects of different stressors on phytoplankton distribution. The Phytoplankton Trophic Index (PTI) was found to be a useful metric for evaluating the ecological status of these ecosystems, with some lakes and reservoirs classified as Good or Moderate conditions based on phytoplankton metrics.

Variation of runoff and sediment inflows to the Three Gorges Reservoir: Impact of upstream cascade reservoirs

Haochen Yan et al.

Summary: This study reveals the impact of upstream cascade reservoirs on the annual runoff and sediment load inflows to the Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR). The results show that precipitation dominated the runoff change, while human activities were the main driving factors for sediment load reduction in the studied area. Sediment retention induced by large reservoirs in the upstream of TGR was identified as the major reason for sediment load reduction. The unprecedented situation in the upper Yangtze River Basin may have profound impacts on the morphology and ecology of TGR and the downstream Yangtze River.

Ecological impacts of freshwater algal blooms on water quality, plankton biodiversity, structure, and ecosystem functioning

Cihelio Alves Amorim et al.

Summary: Harmful algal blooms, particularly those dominated by Cyanobacteria, have significant negative impacts on freshwater biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, affecting water quality, plankton structure, and resource use efficiency of phytoplankton and zooplankton. The loss of biodiversity due to algal blooms results in decreased ecosystem functioning, with cascading effects on plankton dynamics.

Linking water environmental factors and the local watershed landscape to the chlorophyll a concentration in reservoir bays

Nanxin Li et al.

Summary: The study found that Chl a concentration was higher in the storage period than in the discharge period. Two optimal PLS-SEMs explained 66.8% and 53.6% of the variation in Chl a concentration in the storage and discharge periods, respectively. The net effect of water chemistry on Chl a concentration was more pronounced during the discharge period, while the net effect of land-use composition was more significant during the storage period. The landscape pattern had significant indirect effects on Chl a concentration, especially during the discharge period.

Wenjuan Ouyang et al.

Summary: This study examined spatio-temporal variation in phytoplankton community in sediment and surface water during algal blooms in Pengxi River, a tributary of China's Three Gorges Reservoir. The results showed that the sediment cyanobacteria community was influenced by various environmental factors, while the eukaryotic phytoplankton community in sediment was influenced by other factors. The dominant species in surface water during algal blooms were more affected by environmental factors and hydrodynamic conditions.
