The study of the relationships between vascular aquatic macrophyte occurrence, species
richness and the local environment are central for suitable ecosystem quality assessments …

Coastal wetland ecosystems make an important contribution to the global carbon pool, yet
their extent is declining due to aquaculture-related land use changes. We conducted an …

Total organic carbon (TOC), Total nitrogen (TN) and the phosphorus species concentrations
of sediment cores taken from Zhushan Bay, Meiliang Bay, and East Taihu Lake regions in …

Although phytoliths constitute part of the wetland suspended load, there are few studies
focused on the quantification of them in the biogenic silica (BSi) pool. So, the aim of this …

Aquatic macrophytes, also known as hydrophytes, hold an important part in wetland
