Structure and assembly process of fungal communities in the Yangtze River Estuary. [PDF]
Front Microbiol, 2023 Marine fungi are essential for the ecological function of estuarine ecosystems. However, limited studies have reported on the structure and assembly pattern of the fungal communities in estuaries. The purpose of this study is to reveal the structure and the ecological process of the fungal community in the Yangtze River Estuary (YRE) by using the ...

Seasonal behaviour of tidal damping and residual water level slope in the Yangtze River estuary: identifying the critical position and river discharge for maximum tidal damping [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2019 As a tide propagates into the estuary, river discharge affects tidal damping, primarily via a friction term, attenuating tidal motion by increasing the quadratic velocity in the numerator, while reducing the effective friction by increasing the water ...

Distribution Characteristics of Microplastics in Surface Seawater off the Yangtze River Estuary Section and Analysis of Ecological Risk Assessment. [PDF]
Toxics, 2023 Microplastics are widespread in the oceans as a new type of pollutant. Due to the special geographical environment characteristics, the Yangtze River estuary region become hotspot for microplastics research.

Analysis of suspended sediment concentration characteristics under erosion-deposition condition changes in the Yangtze River Estuary. [PDF]
Sci RepIn 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 ...

Impact of river discharge seasonality change on tidal duration asymmetry in the Yangtze River Estuary. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2020 AbstractThe Yangtze River Estuary (YRE) is one of the world’s largest river-tidal systems with rapidly changing hydrology and morphology following the construction of multiple dams. The effects of dam construction may extend to the region close to the coast, where channel stability depends on the asymmetry of the tide.

Towards a comprehensive assessment of ichthyofaunal diversity in the Yangtze River estuary: Leveraging environmental DNA technology and bottom trawl surveys. [PDF]
HeliyonThe fishery resources in the Yangtze River Estuary (YRE) have declined drastically because of overfishing and environmental changes, leading to ecosystem degradation of the YRE, and bringing numerous rare fish species to the brink of extinction. As a new

Saltwater Intrusion Function and Preliminary Application in the Yangtze River Estuary, China. [PDF]
Int J Environ Res Public Health, 2019 More attention has been paid to saltwater-intrusion-related problems in recent years. In this research study, a saltwater intrusion function in the Yangtze River Estuary (YRE) was constructed based on the theory of the interactions between energy accumulation and impedance. A MIKE21 model was used to simulate the hydrodynamics of the YRE. Then, through

Capacity of humic substances to complex with iron at different salinities in the Yangtze River estuary and East China Sea. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2017 The iron binding capacities (IBC) of fulvic acid (FA) and humic acid (HA) were determined in the salinity range from 5 to 40. The results indicated that IBC decreased while salinity increased.

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 ...
