Conservation and restoration of wetlands have become a global priority as awareness of their importance increases. At present, efforts to restore wetlands have primarily focused on enhancing water quality and biodiversity, with little attention paid to analyzing the recovery of the food web. We investigated the differences in food web attributes between natural and restored wetlands in Qingtongxia wetlands on the upper reaches of the Yellow River, China. Our results showed that there were no significant differences in the community structure of aquatic organism (fish, macroinvertebrates, zooplankton, phytoplankton and macrophytes) and water parameters (TP, TN, DO, et al.) between natural and restored wetlands. Restored wetlands had higher total system throughput and primary productivity compared to natural wetlands, which increased the proportion of the detritus food chain in the energy supply. However, energy transfer at the system level was less efficient than in natural wetlands. Indices of cycling, path length and network analysis showed that the restored wetland was less mature but more stable than the natural wetland. Given the inconsistency of food web recovery with water variables and aquatic assemblages, integrating community and food web approaches in future wetland restoration will be critical to refining restoration goals and enhancing conservation efforts.
Mountain ecosystems exhibit rapid changes in vegetation cover and climate conditions along elevation gradients, offering an ideal natural experiment to examine variations in the molecular composition of soil organic carbon (SOC) responsing to environmental change. We examined molecular composition, diversity, and network complexity of SOC using the pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry technology and the Shannon diversity index (SHDI) in Changbai Mountain (CBS). Results indicated that molecular composition of SOC differed greatly across different vegetation zones, which were predominated by mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forests (HJL), mixed coniferous forests (ZYL), birch forest covered (YHL), and tundra vegetation (TYD). ZYL had remarkably more abundant moieties with aromatic structures, 36% on average, than those in HJL, TYD, and YHL, 18.31%, 12.75% and 16.51% on average, respectively. O-alkyl, alkyl, and terpene compounds showed an increasing trend, whereas aromatic, lignin and nitrogen-containing compounds exhibited a notable decrease with elevation to a significant level. Either alpha diversity or beta diversity of SOC varied significantly among TYD, YHL, ZYL, and HJL, with HJL exhibiting the lowest alpha diversity. SOC from ZYL was the most complex, showing the highest number of edges and graph density. Leaf litter elements greatly regulated the molecular diversity and network complexity of SOC. Positive correlations between SHDI and SOC contents, as well as ratios of SOC to total iron, suggested that high molecular diversity promoted SOC persistence in mountain ecosystems.
Healthy aquatic ecosystems are essential for human beings. However, anthropogenic activities severely worsen water quality. In this study, using assembling mesocosms, we developed an efficient and easy-to-handle method to monitor the water quality by measuring the electrical conductivity (EC) of water. Our data demonstrate that the growth of two submersed macrophytes, Vallisneria natans and Vallisneria spinulosa, improves water quality by decreasing EC. Furthermore, using high-throughput DNA sequencing, we analyzed the microbial community abundance and structure in sediment and water columns with or without plant growth. We generated 33,775 amplicon sequence variants from 69 samples of four sediment groups (BkM, CtM, VnR, and VsR) and three water column sample groups (CtW, VnW, and VsW). The results show that the relative abundance of bacteria was higher in the sediment than in the water column. Moreover, the diversity and composition of microbiomes were altered by Vallisneria spp. growth, and the α-diversity of the microbial communities decreased due to submersed macrophytes in both the sediment and water columns. The β-diversity of the microbial communities also varied significantly with or without Vallisneria spp. growth for both the sediment and water columns.
Conventional methodology for accurate identification of breast tumor subtypes is complex and time-consuming. Label-free SERS (surface-enhanced Raman scattering) enables rapid detection of biomolecules and provides intrinsic fingerprint information of analytes. Exploring reliable SERS bioprobes with high sensitivity and repeatability is essential for efficient typing of cancer cells. In this study, a novel core-shell noble metal-semiconductor Cu2O@Ag heterostructure with uniform morphology and outstanding SERS activity for label-free detection has been proposed. The Cu2O@Ag SERS substrates exhibit exceptional sensitivity to detect 4 nitrophenthiol (4NTP) at extreme low concentration (10−15 M), and the SERS spectra demonstrate excellent selectivity and repeatability (RSD ≈ 8.84%). The enhancement mechanism is attributed to the synergistic enhancement of photoinduced charge transfer and boosted surface plasmon resonance effect, confirmed by reduced fluorescence lifetime of methylene blue on SERS substrates and enhanced electromagnetic field intensity via finite-difference time-domain computational simulation. The ultrahigh sensitivity and good signal stability endow Cu2O@Ag SERS bioprobe potential for accurate detection of four breast cancer cells subtypes. The rich fingerprint information from SERS spectra is processed using linear differentiation analysis, revealing a high accuracy of 93.3% for subtypes classification. These results demonstrate an excellent SERS bioprobe with high sensitivity and repeatability for precision diagnosis has been developed.
Ammonium (NH4+) is a significant component of fine aerosol particles (PM2.5), and its behavior in the atmosphere is crucial to air pollution. We present a novel study that analyzes the vertical distribution and temporal trends of NH4+ in the urban boundary layer of Beijing, tracking hourly concentrations throughout a complete haze episode. Our results unveil a surprising single-peak profile of NH4+ at heights of 300-700 m in the urban boundary layer with its hourly concentration reaching similar to 50 mu g m(-3), which is 3 times higher than that at the ground level, in contrast to the conventional patterns of decreasing concentrations with height. The vertical structure is closely related to the observed escape of ammonia (NH3) or NH4+ from upwind industrial sources via elevated chimneys. The NH4+ plumes emitted through these sources are prone to transport at an altitude of 270-750 m for approximately 6 h, covering >250 km to Beijing. This study reveals that non-agricultural point emissions of NH4+ impact the vertical patterns of aerosol NH4+ in the urban boundary layer, demonstrating potential opportunities for limiting such emission sources to curb PM2.5 pollution in the North China Plain.

氟是焦化废水中的待去除的主要污染物.采用FeCl3和AlCl3作为絮凝剂,研究了絮凝对焦化废水中氟和有机物的去除效果,并考查了不同剂量和pH条件下氟和有机物的去除率.结果 表明:AlCl3和FeCl3对F-的最高去除率分别为94.4%和27.3%;在投量为20 mmol·L-1时,FeCl3和AlCl3的TOC去除率分别达到27.6%和23.9%.因此,AlCl3对氟的去除率比FeCl3的更高,但FeCl3对有机物的去除率相对更高.加入Ca2+可以促进氟的去除,但有机物的去除率会下降.另外,通过考察不同pH和铁铝配比对去除率的影响,探讨了同时加入FeCl3和AlCl3的去除效果.结果 表明,最适合去除有机物和氟的工作条件是pH为6.5,AlCl3和FeCl3的比值为8∶2.本研究探索了FeCl3和AlCl3对焦化废水中氟和有机物的去除机理,实验结果可为焦化废水的深度处理提供参考.
Capping water body sediments with a thin layer of sand is an effective technique to decrease nutrient concentrations in the water column and accelerate ecological restoration of eutrophic water bodies. However, long-term effects of thin-layer sand capping in shallow lakes are reported less often. Using clean fine sand and geotextile mats as capping materials for sediments collected from Wuhan Donghu Lake in China, we designed a 290-day tank experiment with 3 cm of sand capping at four percentages of sediment coverage from 25 to 100% and a control (no capping). We monitored total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), nitrate (NO 3 − ), ammonia (NH 4 + ), and soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP) in the overlying water every 7 days. Mean TN and NO 3 − concentrations were significantly the lowest ( P < 0.05) at 50% coverage. Further increase in coverage kept them slightly fluctuating. NH 4 + concentration was significantly lowest ( P < 0.05) at 75% coverage. The relation between coverage and mean TP and SRP concentrations indicated that 75% coverage significantly decreased ( P < 0.05) them, and increasing coverage to 100% decreased them even more. The fluxes of TN and TP estimated between sediments and overlying water showed that the thin fine-sand layer significantly increased the function of sediments as a sink of TN from overlying water and the potential of a sand layer to block release of TP from sediments ( P < 0.05). Our results suggested that if thin-layer sand capping were applied to Wuhan Donghu Lake, more than 50% coverage is required to decrease nutrients in the lake’s water.
