Article Abstract
The mechanisms of soil preferential flow occurrence and development are influenced by topographic and geomorphological factors. However, the complex distribution patterns of soil preferential flow paths on different slopes remain unclear. Therefore, taking the subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest area of Simian Mountain as the study area, this study conducted a quantitative analysis of the spatial distribution characteristics and spatial association of soil preferential flow at different slope positions (slope shoulder (SS), mid-slope (SM) and slope foot (SF)) using field staining tracer tests and spatial point pattern analysis. Results showed that the maximum infiltration depth, the depth of matrix flow, average dye coverage, preferential flow fraction and length index of the SM plot were all greater than those of the SS and SF plots. The number of preferential flow paths in different slope positions decreases with soil depth, with most preferential flow paths measuring 2.5-5.0 mm in each soil layer. The total number of preferential flow paths in SM plot was approximately twice that of the SS and SF plots, and the preferential flow paths in SM plot, regardless of pore size, were all in an aggregated distribution. These findings indicated that differences in soil physical properties and vegetation coverage at different slope positions lead to variations in the spatial distribution and association of soil preferential flow paths. Accordingly, strategies must be modified for the distribution, storage and utilisation of soil water resources. This study provides a theoretical basis for the effective management and protection of water resources in the Simian Mountain area and a scientific basis for exploring the mechanisms of the occurrence and development of the water cycle in forested watersheds.

Introduction: leaves (FSL), a traditional Chinese ethnomedicinal herbal material used to prepare health-promoting infusions and pharmacologically noted for their robust anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and broad-spectrum antiviral activities, nevertheless have an as-yet-uncharacterized molecular mechanism of action against human adenovirus (HAdV).
Methods: Ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with Q-Exactive Orbitrap mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Q-Exactive-Orbitrap/MS) was employed to identification of FSL components. Publicly available GEO datasets were mined to identify HAdV-associated differentially expressed genes (DEGs).

Constructed wetlands (CWs) face dual challenges of arsenic contamination and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, particularly concerning the competing processes of As(III) immobilization and methane-dependent As(V) reduction (AOM-AsR). To address this dilemma, we developed a novel microbial-nitrate-zero valent iron/manganese synergy (MNZS) system that establishes dynamic redox gradients through Fe/Mn-mediated electron flux regulation. The MNZS mechanism leverages zero valent iron/manganese (ZVI/ZVM) oxidation to create oxygen-depleted microzones, generating bioavailable Fe(II)/Mn(II) species while initiating microbial nitrate-reducing-coupled Fe(II)/Mn(II) oxidation (NRFO/NRMO).

This study provides new field-based evidence of the physical and socioeconomic watershed factors and streamflow conditions that influence effluent inputs to streams from onsite wastewater treatment systems (OWTSs), including potential differences between inputs via slow (groundwater) and more rapid (subsurface preferential, overland, direct pipe) transport pathways. Stream sampling data were compiled for 46 watersheds in Ontario, Canada, with analyses including a conservative chemical tracer (acesulfame) representing all (slow and rapid) pathways and a nonconservative human fecal bacteria tracer (HF183) representing only rapid pathways. Acesulfame stream concentrations ranged from tens to over 1000 ng/L, indicating OWTS effluent inputs to streams are widespread.

Rivers are the main method for plastic debris to be transferred from continental to marine environments. The aim of this study is to test the reliability of a low-cost methodology using active radio frequency identification (RFID) tags developed by the ELA Enterprise to assess travel distance and identify the preferential deposition areas of floating (n = 7) and submerged (n = 7) plastic bottles in a peri-urban river located downstream of the city of Strasbourg (France). Our study shows that the protocol tested is simple to set up, fast (1 h per 1,5 km of river length) and reliable, with a detection return rate of 86 %.
