Changes in the biomass and species composition of phytoplankton may reflect major shifts
in environmental conditions. We investigated relationships between the late summer …

Although silica (Si) is not an essential element for plant growth in the classical sense,
evidence points towards its functionality for a better resistance against (a) biotic stress …

The silicified bipartite cell walls of diatoms (Bacillariophyceae) are produced in intracellular
compartments by precipitation from supersaturated Si (OH) 4 and are then externalized …

River damming alters nutrient fluxes along the land‐ocean aquatic continuum as a result of
biogeochemical processes in reservoirs. Both the changes in riverine nutrient fluxes and …

The Changjiang (Yangtze River) is known to contribute significantly to the eutrophication
that has caused drastic changes to the ecosystem of the East China Sea. However …

Spatial management, including setting aside conservation areas, is central to curbing the
global decline of biodiversity, but many threats originate from beyond the boundaries of …

Coastal environments, in particular heavily populated semi-enclosed marginal seas and
coasts like the Baltic Sea region, are strongly affected by human activities. A multitude of …

The measurement of the biogenic silica (BSi) content of sediments is a chemical estimate of
the siliceous microfossil abundance. Briefly, sediments are leached with a weak base …

The damming of rivers represents one of the major anthropogenic disturbances of the
natural cycles of water and nutrient elements on the continents. Currently, more than 50% of …

摘要规模筑坝拦截是当前世界河流普遍面临的共同趋势,“蓄水河流” 在物理,
化学及生物等多层次上区别于天然河流和湖泊, 改变了河流水文, 河流物质转化和输送通量以及 …
