Assessing ecosystem integrity of impounded lakes subjected to sustained water diversion is fundamental for advancing adaptive water governance. Nevertheless, drivers of lake health variation under recurrent flow regulation, particularly their multisc...
Fishes of various trophic levels play an important role in the stability and balance of aquatic ecosystems. Metal contaminants can impair the survival and population fitness of fish at elevated concentrations. When universal water quality criteria (W...
This study investigates the long-term influence of climate change on the spatiotemporal dynamics of harmful algal blooms in lakes larger than 10 km² across the Yangtze River Basin from 1985 to 2022. Using Landsat satellite imagery, we quantified bloo...
Lakes are crucial for ecosystems, greenhouse gas emissions and water resources, yet their surface-extent dynamics, particularly seasonality, remain poorly understood at continental to global scales owing to limitations in satellite observations. Alth...
Greenhouse gas emissions and water quality decline are two major issues currently affecting lakes worldwide. Determining how to control both greenhouse gas emissions and water quality decline is a long-term challenge. We compiled data on the annual a...
Ecotoxicology and environmental safety
Apr 26, 2025
Utilizing computer technology and remote sensing data, the extraction of water-related features of lakes has become a hot topic in lake ecological research. Addressing challenges like the high optical complexity of lake water bodies, the inadequacy o...
Urban flood control and drainage systems often face significant challenges in coordinating municipal drainage with river-lake flood prevention during flood seasons. Rising river levels can create backwater effects, which substantially increase urban ...
Environmental monitoring and assessment
Apr 15, 2025
A timely and accurate understanding of lake water quality is significant for maintaining ecological balance, ensuring water resource security, and promoting regional sustainable development. However, due to the varying numerical ranges and characteri...
Inland water sources, such as lakes, support diverse ecosystems and provide essential services to human societies. However, these valuable resources are under increasing pressure from rapid climate changes and pollution resulting from human activitie...
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) as an increasing environmental problem in lakes, and water diversion has become a common and effective strategy for mitigating HABs. Early and accurate identification of the occurrence of HABs in lakes is essential for sci...
