Salinity changes the nitrification activity and community composition of comammox Nitrospira in intertidal sediments of Yangtze River estuary [PDF]
mSystems, 2023 The newly discovered complete ammonia-oxidizing (comammox) Nitrospira has been identified in different environments, including coastal environments, where salinity is one of the most important factors for the abundance and activity of nitrifiers.

Impact of river discharge seasonality change on tidal duration asymmetry in the Yangtze River Estuary [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 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.

Saltwater Intrusion Function and Preliminary Application in the Yangtze River Estuary, China [PDF]
International Journal of Environmental Research and 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

Comparative study on sea-level rise in the Yangtze River Estuary and Red River Estuary in the recent 30 years [PDF]
Scientific ReportsSea-level rise with its impacts on coastal areas has become one of the most important topics. The Yangtze River Estuary (YRE) and Red River Estuary (RRE) are the most sensitive regions to climate change but locating in temperate and subtropical regions of Asia, respectively.

River Discharge and Saltwater Intrusion Level Study of Yangtze River Estuary, China [PDF]
Water (Switzerland), 2018 The Yangtze River Estuary (YRE) is the largest estuary in China, with three-order bifurcations and four outlets into the sea. In recent years, issues of saltwater intrusions have received increased attention due to the increased levels and frequencies of the intrusions.
