Mercury (Hg) is a global, persistent and inevitable pollutant, the toxicity of which is mostly
reflected in its species including inorganic Hg (InHg) and methyl mercury (MeHg). Using …

Thermal effluents from coastal nuclear power plants have led to undesirable pollution and
subsequent ecological impacts on local marine ecosystems. However, despite the …

Spatial variations in summertime phytoplankton community structure from 1991 to 2017 in
Daya Bay, China were investigated in this research. The abundance of total phytoplankton …

Known as burgeoning contaminants, the bioavailability of rare earth elements (REEs) can
be determined using diffusive gradients in thin films (DGT). As Daya Bay (South China) has …

Human-induced nutrient inputs to global coastal waters are leading to increasing nutrients
and escalating eutrophication. However, how aquatic ecosystem functioning responds to …

The contamination of heavy metals due to human activities has attracted great attention and
may lead to serious environmental problems. This research was performed on seawater …

To understand zooplankton community changes in the context of climate change and
anthropogenic disturbances, we analyzed mesozooplankton samples from four seasons in …

Better understanding of the temporal-spatial distribution of chlorophyll-a concentration (Chl-
a) is crucial in controlling harmful water blooms. In this study, the dynamical change of Chl-a …

The biological trait analysis (BTA) is regarded as a promising approach to unravel how
ecosystem functions respond to human-induced disturbances. This study considered the …

Thermal effluents from nuclear power plants greatly change the environmental and
ecological conditions of the receiving marine water body, but knowledge about their impact …
