Article Abstract

Research studies have modified traditional substances to seek fast-acting removal of phosphorus in constructed wetlands (CWs) and ecological dams, rather than develop a brand-new nano-adsorbent. This work synthesized FeCa-based layered double hydroxide (FeCa-LDH) with a chemical co-precipitation method, and the performance, mechanism and factors of phosphorus removal were investigated. FeCa-LDH showed a marked ability to adsorb phosphorus from waste water, with a removal efficiency of 94.4% and 98.2% in CWs and ecological dams, respectively. Both FTIR and XPS spectrum evidenced that FeCa-LDH removed phosphorus via electrostatic and hydrogen-bonding adsorption, as well as a coordination reaction and interlayer anion exchange. FeCa-LDH showed a higher capacity to remove phosphorus in alkaline and neutral waste water than in acid conditions. Co-occurrence anions, which influenced the efficiency of the phosphorus removal capacity are considered in the sequence below: CO ≈ HCO > SO > NO. Innovatively, FeCa-LDH was not affected by the low-temperature limitation for CWs, and phosphorus removal efficiency at 5 °C was almost equal to that at 25 °C. These results cast a new idea on the construction, application and phosphorus removal performance of CWs and ecological dams.

Small cascade dams drive spatial divergence in the composition of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in local sediments. Taking Xixi River in the southeast of China, a representative small cascade-dammed watershed, as an example, this study explored the spatial variations of DOM components and its interactions with microbial communities under the influence of cascade dams. Results revealed that DOM composition differed significantly, i.

Plankton communities form the foundation of marine food webs, determining the ecosystem carrying capacity and the services they provide. Their spatial distribution patterns are highly dynamic, influenced by ocean stratification, mixed layer depth, and nutrient availability. In this study, we combined an advanced imaging system with a machine learning model to explore how environmental factors shape plankton distribution on the South Brazilian Shelf.

Pine wilt disease (PWD), caused by the pine wood nematode (PWN), is a devastating systemic disease with significantly impacts on pine species, particularly Masson pine (Pinus massoniana) in South China. This study integrated transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and differentially accumulated metabolites (DAMs) associated with PWN resistance. By comparing the gene expression and metabolic profiles of healthy, mechanically wounded, and PWN-infected Masson pine trees at 28 d post-inoculation, we identified 1,310 DEGs were specifically associated with PWN infection after excluding mechanical damage effects.

Hydropower is a critical source of affordable and reliable electricity and energy system stability services in the United States. Opportunities to expand US hydropower production include retrofitting existing non-powered dams to produce power, retrofitting existing hydropower dams to improve efficiency or increase capacity, or constructing new hydropower infrastructure on currently unregulated river reaches. We created the HydroBio Dataset, which summarizes existing and potential hydropower capacity and freshwater biodiversity at the sub-basin scale in the conterminous US to contextualize existing and potential grid contributions with the freshwater ecosystems in which dams are situated.
