Functional diversity patterns of macrofauna in the adjacent waters of the Yangtze River Estuary

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2020
Functional diversity can reflect the overall differences in functional traits and indicate their response to environmental disturbance. Macrofaunal feeding functional groups and functional diversity were studied in the adjacent waters of the Yangtze River Estuary.

Analysis of the Characteristics of Discharged Sediment in Yangtze River Estuary

Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2014
The global estuarial studies have focused on water and sediment flux into the sea and the effect of human activities on the evolution of estuarial water and sediment. In the present study, we elaborated the impact of human activities on the water-sediment relation based on the water and sediment features at Datong Station (1951-2008).

Spatial and temporal variations in nitrogen and phosphorous nutrients in the Yangtze River Estuary

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2012
Based on spatial interpolation data from 2003 to 2010, combined with almost 30 years of nitrogen and phosphorus pollutant data, this research analyzed the variations in total nitrogen (TN), nitrate nitrogen (NO(3)-N), total phosphorus (TP) and phosphate-P (PO(4)-P) in the Yangtze River Estuary (YRE).

Numerical Simulation of the Nutrient Limitation in the Yangtze River Estuary

2014
A Nutrient-Phytoplankton-Zooplankton-Detritus (NPZD) type of biogeochemical model is developed to investigate the nutrient limitation in the Yangtze River Estuary. By means of a series of numerical experiments, it is found that the phosphate limitation is dominant especially in the coastal region due to the large amounts of riverine nitrogen input.

Pseudoalteromonas lipolytica sp. nov., isolated from the Yangtze River estuary

International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2010
A strictly aerobic, Gram-negative, non-pigmented bacterial strain, designated LMEB 39T, was isolated from a seawater sample collected from the Yangtze River estuary near the East China Sea and was examined physiologically, chemotaxonomically and phylogenetically.

Assessment of trophic status in Changjiang (Yangtze) River estuary

Chinese Journal of Oceanology and Limnology, 2007
The integrated methodology for the assessment of estuarine trophic status (ASSETS), which was extended and refined from the United States National Estuarine Eutrophication Assessment (NEEA), is a multi-parameter assessment system and has been widely used in eutrophication assessment in estuarine and coastal waters.

Behaviors of dissolved antimony in the Yangtze River Estuary and its adjacent waters

Journal of Environmental Monitoring, 2011
Antimony is a naturally occurring and cumulatively toxic element. With increasing concern as an inorganic contaminant, research on its environmental behavior is becoming a necessity. However, very little is known about this element. To further understand its biogeochemical behaviors and roles in the ecosystem, the main species of dissolved inorganic ...

Bioavailability and risk assessment of arsenic in surface sediments of the Yangtze River estuary

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2016
The bioavailability and risk assessment of As were studied in sediments of the Yangtze River estuary (YRE). Results showed that residual fractions dominated the As partition (>85%), which attenuated overall bioavailability. After the residual fraction, As mainly partitioned into the Fe-Mn oxides fraction (3.16-4.22%).

Wintering bird communities in newly‐formed wetland in the Yangtze River estuary

Ecological Research, 2006
Abstract We compared wintering bird communities and their habitats among three shoals at Jiuduansha, a newly‐formed wetland in the Yangtze River estuary. The highest species richness and diversity were recorded in Shangsha, which is the highest shoal, and the highest abundance and lowest species diversity were ...

River discharge contribution to sea-level rise in the Yangtze River Estuary, China

Continental Shelf Research, 2017
Abstract Sea level changes in the Yangtze River Estuary (YRE) as a result of river discharge are investigated based on the monthly averaged river discharge from 1950 to 2011 at the Datong station. Quantification of the sea level contribution is made by model computed results and the sea level rates reported by the China Sea Level Bulletin (CSLB). The
