Article Abstract

Based on two multidisciplinary investigations conducted in summer and winter 2015, the distribution of dissolved oxygen (DO) and the associated seasonal variations off the Changjiang River Estuary (CRE) were studied. The DO content was high in winter, ranging from 6.81-10.29mg/L, and the distribution was mainly controlled by temperature and salinity. The DO concentration was 1.92-9.67mg/L in summer, and a hypoxic zone (DO<3mg/L) covered 14,800km, which was mainly controlled by stratification and organic matter decomposition. The hypoxic zone exhibited a "dual-core" structure and the differences in the biochemical and physical processes between the southern and northern regions were compared: the northern region exhibited stronger pycnocline intensity; while larger biomass and higher TOC as well as TN contents were observed in the southern region. Hypoxia in the northern region might be mainly dominated by stratification, while that in the southern region was mainly associated with organic matter decomposition.

Wetlands and their aquatic arthropods are threatened by climate change (temperature, precipitation). In this review, we first synthesize the literature on environmental controls on wetland arthropods (hydroperiod, temperature, dissolved oxygen) and then assess how these controls operate across freshwater wetlands from different global biomes (tropical/subtropical, temperate, high latitude/altitude, and dry climates) and how changes in climates alter arthropod fauna with consequent modifications to wetland ecosystem functions (decomposition, food web dynamics). We also describe ways to develop bioassessment of climate change impacts on wetlands.

Silicate Enhances the Long-Term Dechlorination Performance of Sulfidized Zero-Valent Iron: Trade-Off between Passivation and In Situ Oxidation.

MOE Key Laboratory of Pollution Processes and Environmental Criteria/Tianjin Engineering Center of Environmental Diagnosis and Contamination Remediation, College of Environmental Science and Engineering, Nankai University, Tianjin 300350, China.

Sulfidized zero-valent iron (S-ZVI) holds promise in the remediation of chlorinated hydrocarbons. However, S-ZVI is susceptible to corrosion in aquifers with elevated dissolved oxygen (DO) levels. This study demonstrates, for the first time, that a trade-off between the passivation and oxidative corrosion of aged S-ZVI can be achieved in the presence of silicate to promote its dechlorination performance on trichloroethylene.

P-Doped Cu-N-C Single-Atom Catalysts Boost Cathodic Electrochemiluminescence of Luminol for MicroRNA-320d Detection.

Institute for Advanced Interdisciplinary Research (iAIR), School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, University of Jinan, Jinan 250022, P. R. China.

Compared with efficient anodic luminol electrochemiluminescence (ECL), the disadvantage of cathodic ECL is that luminol cannot be electrochemically oxidized in a direct manner, and the conversion efficiency of dissolved oxygen (DO) as the coreactant to reactive oxygen species (ROS) is poor, which limits its application. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a functional catalyst suitable for the luminol-DO ECL system to directly trigger cathodic ECL. In this study, a coordination microenvironment modulation strategy was proposed.

Effects of Imidacloprid on Afrotropical Aquatic Ecosystems: A South African Microcosm Study.

Pesticides are widely used to meet the food demands of a growing population, with various types used to control pests depending on the crops grown. Rainfall, overspray, and runoff from agricultural fields can wash these insecticides into water bodies, posing documented environmental risks. Imidacloprid is commonly used in Afrotropical regions such as South Africa, yet limited information is available on its toxicity to aquatic ecosystems within this climate region.
