This study investigated the fate of ciprofloxacin (CIP) in wetlands dominated by Vallisneria
spiralis. About 99% of CIP was degraded from overlaying water within 4 days of treatment …

Microbial communities in epiphytic biofilms and surface sediments play a vital role in the
biogeochemical cycles of the major chemical elements in freshwater. However, little is …

The knowledge about the impacts of ammonium loading on microbial food webs in biofilms
attached to submersed macrophytes is limited. In the present study, Illumina sequencing …

The impacts of WWTPs effluents on nutrients removal and epiphytic microbial community in
constructed wetlands dominated by submersed macrophytes remain to be fully illustrated. In …

Epiphytic and superficial sediment biofilm-dwelling microbial communities play a pivotal role
in water quality regulation and biogeochemical cycling in shallow lakes. However, the …

Coasts are among the most vulnerable ecosystems to the effects of climate change and the
impacts of strong weather events. At the same time, they are also crucial buffers of these …

The assessment for wetland restoration effect is crucial for wetland management and
sustainable utilization. This issue is evaluated in this study and applied to four wetlands in …

Background Estuaries are transitional coastal ecosystems that are threatened by multiple
sources of human pollution. In 2015, mining tailings from an upstream dam failure caused …
