Article Synopsis
  • - The study investigates the bacterial communities attached to submerged macrophytes (water plants) and their role in aquatic ecosystems, emphasizing their potential as biological carriers for planktonic bacteria.
  • - A total of 10,320 Operational Taxonomic Units (OTUs) were identified from samples of submerged plants, overlying water, and sediment, showing the highest bacterial richness in sediments.
  • - Significant differences were found in bacterial diversity between the sources, with distinct community compositions for bacteria from submerged macrophytes compared to those in water and sediment, highlighting the unique metabolic capacities of these bacteria.

In order to reveal vertical distribution characteristics of nitrogen and organic matter in the ancient canal sediments of Zhenjiang old town, the columnar sediment samples in Dianli road bridge (D) and Nanshui bridge (B) were collected, contents of total nitrogen (TN), organic nitrogen (Org-N), ammonia nitrogen (NH4(+)-N), nitrate nitrogen (NO3(-)-N) and organic matter (O. M) were determined, and C/N, nutrient concentration coefficient and the correlation of nitrogen, O. M and environmental factors had been analyzed, and organic nitrogen and organic index had also been evaluated.

Effect of continuous submerging and wetting-redrying on cadmium speciation and uptake by Sorghum hybrid Sudangrass in a Ferric-accumulic Stagnic Anthrosol and a Tipical Hapludult collected from the Taihu Lake region and the rolling downs of Yingtan, Jiangxi, China respectively, was studied by pot experiment with Cd spike in 2003. Compared to that under wetting-redrying treatment, the MgCl2-extracted pool of Cd in Huangnitu with spiked Cd of 5mg x kg(-1) and 10mg x kg(-1) was decreased from 21.8% and 28.
