Gross Nitrogen Mineralization in Surface Sediments of the Yangtze Estuary. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Nitrogen mineralization is a key biogeochemical process transforming organic nitrogen to inorganic nitrogen in estuarine and coastal sediments. Although sedimentary nitrogen mineralization is an important internal driver for aquatic eutrophication, few ...

Land claim and loss of tidal flats in the Yangtze Estuary. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2016 AbstractTidal flats play a critical role in supporting biodiversity and in providing ecosystem services but are rapidly disappearing because of human activities. The Yangtze Estuary is one of the world’s largest alluvial estuaries and is adjacent to the most developed economic zone in China.

Analysis of suspended sediment concentration characteristics under erosion-deposition condition changes in the Yangtze River Estuary [PDF]
Scientific ReportsIn recent years, as river-borne sediment transport has decreased, land loss in estuarine areas has become increasingly severe. Particularly from 2009 to 2022, due to the reduced sediment load from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, significant ...

Sediment sink-source transitions in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River estuary
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Human activities have severely altered the Yangtze River (Changjiang) Estuary’s pattern, beach-trough shape, and delta in recent decades. Existing research has studied the sediment “source–sink” relationship between the Yangtze River mainstream and ...
