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 ...

Structure and assembly process of fungal communities in the Yangtze River Estuary [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 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 ...

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

Riverbed Micromorphology of the Yangtze River Estuary, China [PDF]
Water (Switzerland), 2016 Dunes are present in nearly all fluvial channels and are vital in understanding sediment transport, deposition, and flow conditions during floods of rivers and estuaries. This information is pertinent for helping developing management practices to reduce risks in river transportation and engineering.

Distribution of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in sediments from Yellow River Estuary and Yangtze River Estuary, China [PDF]
Journal of Environmental Sciences, 2009 Surface sediment samples collected from twenty-one sites of Yellow River Estuary and Yangtze River Estuary were determined for sixteen priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) by isotope dilution GC-MS method. The total PAH contents varied from 10.8 to 252 ng/g in Yellow River Estuary sediment, and from 84.6 to 620 ng/g in Yangtze River Estuary

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 ...

Spatial-Temporal Variations of Chlorophyll-a in the Adjacent Sea Area of the Yangtze River Estuary Influenced by Yangtze River Discharge [PDF]
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2015 Carrying abundant nutrition, terrigenous freshwater has a great impact on the spatial and temporal heterogeneity of phytoplankton in coastal waters. The present study analyzed the spatial-temporal variations of Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) concentration under the influence of discharge from the Yangtze River, based on remotely sensed Chl-a concentrations. The
