Abstract The Changjiang Delta (CD) is one of well-studied large deltas of critical socio-
economical and ecological importance regionally and global representativeness …

Recent climate change has caused an increase in warming-driven erosion and sediment
transport processes on the Tibetan Plateau (TP). Yet a lack of measurements hinders our …

Dam construction has a far-reaching impact on trace metal accumulation and the metal-
induced quality of the aquatic environment. However, the long-term impacts of dam …

Complex transformations of heavy metals in the mega-river-estuary continuum limit our
understanding of their pollution history. This study investigated sedimentary compositions of …

Dam construction has far-reaching impacts on pollutant accumulation and the pollutant-
induced quality of aquatic environments. Nonetheless, its large-scale effects on pollutant …

Dongting Lake wetland provides critical ecological functions in the Yangtze River Basin,
however its landscape pattern has changed during the past 20 years due to both climate …

Intensive human activities in river basins have substantial effects on fluvial hydrological and
morphological processes and developmental trends. In this study, we assessed the …

Understanding the long-term variations in basins that undergo large-scale hydroelectric
projects is crucial for effective dam operation and watershed management. In this study …

The intensive construction of large dams in the upper Yangtze River Basin (UYRB) has
formed large-scale cascade reservoirs and obviously altered the flow regime and sediment …

Reservoirs tend to accumulate phosphorus (P) originating from agriculture, industry, and
other upstream sources in sediment, with this stored P later released. However, the …
