Article Abstract
Diffuse terrestrial pollution in bay area has important ecological impacts on coastal ecosystems. This study investigated spatiotemporal changes in N, P, and chlorophyll a (Chla) in the Jiaozhou Bay (JZB) and phytoplankton biomass dynamics under terrestrial nutrients loading. The results from SWAT (Soil and Water Assessment Tool) model demonstrated that the annual average total N (TN) and total P (TP) loading from main rivers were 3626.3 t and 335.6 t, respectively, and were affected by land use type, precipitation, and temperature. Chla value interpreted by remote sensing showed a decrease from nearshore to the far shore. Changes in Chla concentration were usually "dual-cycle" in February and September, but explosive growth of Enteromorpha can cause multiple peaks. TN concentration in the bay was more susceptible to the impact of terrestrial input than TP. Phytoplankton biomass had a stronger correlation with P than with N in JZB. Enteromorpha contributing 4.05% of the phytoplankton biomass played a major role in phytoplankton biomass variability and responded most to nutrients loadings reduction. Under setting 5 m filter strip scenario, the Enteromorpha biomass removal efficiency could reach 35.25%. Furthermore, the findings of this study provide insights for sea-land integration and pollution prevention and control in urbanised bays.

Marine heatwaves (MHWs) are increasing in frequency and intensity worldwide, significantly impacting marine ecosystems. However, studies on phytoplankton community changes in coastal waters under such conditions remain. In the summer of 2024, an extreme high-temperature event (>28 °C) occurred in the southern coastal waters of Korea, providing an opportunity to investigate phytoplankton community dynamics under thermal stress.

As critical environmental factors, nitrogen and light not only regulate phytoplankton growth but also influence their phenotypic plasticity. Scenedesmus obliquus, an alga which is famous for its remarkable phenotypic plasticity, was studied to understand its response to varying combinations of nitrogen source and light intensity. It was cultured in media containing different nitrogen sources (NaNO, NHCl, CO(NH)) under a range of light intensities (25, 50, 75, 100, 150 µmol photons m s).

Artificial reservoirs in arid regions provide unique ecological environments for studying the spatial and functional dynamics of plankton communities under the combined stressors of climate change and anthropogenic activities. This study conducted a systematic investigation of the phytoplankton community structure and its environmental drivers in 17 artificial reservoirs in the Ili region of Xinjiang in August and October 2024. The Ili region is located in the temperate continental arid zone of northwestern China.

Until the 1950s, large-bodied calanoids and cladocerans dominated the zooplankton community of Lake Victoria, whereas cyclopoid copepods only comprised 10% of microcrustaceans. From the 1960's onwards, cyclopoid copepods increased to 70-90% of zooplankton and cladocerans, now dominated by small species, decreased to ca. 5%.

Synechococcus HS-9 is being recognized as one of the potential strains for biodiesel production due to its high levels of fatty acid methyl ester (FAME), which are around 70-78%. The first stage in producing microalgae biodiesel involves the biomass production process through a photobioreactor cultivation process. In addition to microalgae strains, the optimization of the photobioreactor's performance is essential for producing high biomass.
