To reveal the characteristics and key impact factors of phytoplankton communities in different types of lakes, sampling surveys for phytoplankton and water quality parameters were conducted at 174 sampling sites in a total of 24 lakes covering urban, countryside, and ecological conservation areas of Wuhan in spring, summer, autumn, and winter 2018. The results showed that a total of 365 species of phytoplankton from nine phyla and 159 genera were identified in the three types of lakes. The main species were green algae, cyanobacteria, and diatoms, accounting for 55.

This study aims to remove internal nitrogen in sediment-water microcosms by coupling sediment microbial fuel cells (SMFCs) with submerged aquatic plants. Twelve tanks including four treatments in triplicates were designed: open-circuit (SMFC-o), closed-circuit (SMFC-c), aquatic plants with open-circuit (P-SMFC-o) and aquatic plants with closed-circuit (P-SMFC-c).

Chlorophyll fluorescence parameters included q(N) (non-photochemical quenching), Y II (effective quantum yield), F(v)/F(m) (maximum quantum yield), F'(v)/F'(m) (effective quantum yield of photosystem II photochemistry) and ETR (electron transport rate). During the three days under coexistence condition, chlorophyll content and chlorophyll fluorescence parameters of M.
