Bioactive Polysaccharides from : Preparation, Structures, and Therapeutic Insights.

, a red seaweed, is an abundant source of bioactive polysaccharides with significant health-promoting properties. Nevertheless, the broad application of in the nutraceutical and pharmaceutical sectors remains constrained due to the absence of comprehensive data. This review provides a detailed examination of the preparation methods, structural characteristics, and biological activities of polysaccharides (GLPs).

[Response of the Water Quality of a Stratified Reservoir to an Extreme El Niño Event During Summer].

Global warming can intensify the El Niño phenomenon that recurs every 2-7 years, which will lead to a great interannual variability of climate and may induce the deterioration of the water quality of reservoirs. To study the influence of the extreme El Niño events on the water quality of stratified reservoirs during summer, field surveys were conducted in Zhoucun Reservoir and its inflow rivers from May to August in a normal year (2012) and a strong El Niño year (2015). Temporal variations of physical and chemical index were investigated during monitoring.

Abnormal increase of Mn and TP concentrations in a temperate reservoir during fall overturn due to drought-induced drawdown.

Due to global warming, some regions of Earth may face frequent and severe droughts in the future, leading to the deterioration of surface water quality. In this study, we investigated the effects of drought-induced drawdown on the water quality of the Zhoucun Reservoir, Shandong Province, East China, during the fall overturn. Field surveys were conducted during stratification (April-November) over three standard years 2012, 2013, and 2014, and over the El Niño event of 2015.
