This study provides a detailed approach to evaluating water quality in the Haridwar district, Uttarakhand, India, by integrating physicochemical and microbiological investigations. It employs multivariate analysis and applies water quality and trophic state indices to evaluate the current state of the water and identify potential sources of contamination. The results from the correlation matrix highlight the dynamic interactions between different water quality parameters.

Introduction: Soil nutrient supply drives the ecological functions of soil micro-food webs through bottom-up and top-down mechanisms in degraded agroecosystems. Nutrient limitation responds sensitively to variations in degraded agroecosystems through restoration practices, such as legume intercropping.

Objectives: This study examined the effects of legume intercropping on trophic cascade dynamics through resource supply in degraded purple soil ecosystems.

Monitoring the dynamics of contaminants in ecosystems helps understand their potential effects. Seabirds have been used as biomonitors of marine ecosystems for this purpose. However, exposure and vulnerability to pollutants are understudied in tropical species, and the relationships between various pollutants and the trophic ecology of seabirds are poorly understood.

Emerging and legacy organophosphate flame retardants in the tropical estuarine food web: Do they exhibit similar bioaccumulation patterns, trophic partitioning and dietary exposure?

Emerging organophosphate flame retardants (E-OPFRs) are a new class of pollutants that have attracted increasing attention, but their bioaccumulation patterns and trophodynamic behaviors in aquatic food webs still need to be validated by comparison with legacy OPFRs (L-OPFRs). In this study, we simultaneously investigated the bioaccumulation, trophic transfer, and dietary exposure of 8 E-OPFRs and 10 L-OPFRs in a tropical estuarine food web from Hainan Island, China. Notably, the ΣL-OPFRs concentration (16.

Scavenging is a widespread feeding strategy involving a diversity of taxa from different trophic levels, from apex predators to obligate scavengers. Scavenger species play a crucial role in ecosystem functioning by removing carcasses, recycling nutrients and preventing disease spread. Understanding the trophic roles of scavenger species can help identify specialized species with unique roles and species that may be more vulnerable to ecological changes.
