[Nutrient Exchange Between Meixi River and Yangtze River Due to the Typical Interaction Process of the Three Gorges Reservoir and Its Tributary].

Frequent algal blooms have been observed in the Meixi bay of the Three Gorges Reservoirs (TGR) since its initial filling. In order to understand the effects of intrusions from Changjiang mainstream on the nutrient supply of the Meixi Bay, a detailed field monitoring was conducted from August 2012 to July 2013. The results showed that there were significant intrusions from the mainstream to the Meixi Bay during the different water level scheduling periods of the TGR.

[Partial pressure and diffusion flux of dissolved carbon dioxide in the mainstream and tributary of the central Three Gorges Reservoir in summer].

This study investigated the partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2) in the mainstream of the Three Gorges Reservoir and its tributary (Meixi River) in May 2013. Results showed that pCO2 in the surface water of the Meixi River and mainstream of the Three Gorges Reservoir was 6.8-7.
