Based on field investigation and by using Levins formulae, the niche breadth and niche overlap of dominant plant populations in Sanjiang Plain marsh wetland were studied. The results showed that the niche breadth of test marsh wetland plants decreased in the order of Carex pseudocuraica (0.907) > C. lasiocarpa (0.864) > Glyceria spiculosa (0.855) > Deyeuxia angustifolia (0.500) = Menyanthes trifotiata (0.500) = Naumburgia thyrsiflora (0.500) = Anemone dichotoma (0.500). The niche overlaps among C. lasiocarpa, C. pseudocuraica, M. trifotiata and N. thyrsiflora, and among G. spiculosa, D. angustifolia and A. dichotom were comparatively large, indicating an intense competition among them, while the niche overlap between M. trifotiata and N. thyrsiflora, and D. angustifolia and A. dichotoma was 0, suggesting their different manner of environmental adaptation. Soil water was the dominating environmental factor of wetland plant ecological adaptability. The niche fitness of plant to environment depended on the combined effect of soil water and nutrients. The niche characteristics of marsh wetland plants could better indicate their ecological adaptability and distribution range.

Microplastic pollution has emerged as a significant environmental concern at the global level, potentially threatening biodiversity conservation and human wellbeing. As an important biological group with a wide global distribution, migratory shorebirds face considerable stress due to plastic and microplastic pollution. However, few studies have explored the ecotoxic impact of microplastic pollution on migratory shorebirds.

In addition to their advantages as promising methods for wastewater treatment, CWs exhibit poor performance in terms of N and P removal efficiency in the effluent of wastewater treatment plants. By focusing on this issue, we designed CWs integrated with a biochar-doped activated carbon cloth (ACC) electrode and alum sludge from water treatment plants as a substrate to achieve concomitant organic matter and nutrient removal efficiency. Compared with the use of one layer of alum sludge in CWs (CWs-C3) with ACC electrodes inserted in two layers, which uses one layer of alum sludge, a significant improvement in removal efficiency was achieved (96% for COD; 89% for TN; and 77% for TP).

The expansion of aquaculture areas has encroached upon vast areas of coastal wetlands and introduced excessive nitrogen inputs, disrupting microbial communities and contributing to various environmental issues. However, investigations on how aquaculture affects microbial communities and nitrogen metabolism mechanisms in coastal tidal flats remain scarce. Hence, we explored the composition, diversity, and assembly processes of nitrogen-cycling (N-cycling) microbial communities in tidal flats in Jiangsu using metagenomic assembly methods.

Constructed wetlands (CWs) with low carbon properties represented an effective approach for treating low-polluted water and improving water quality. Here, a research scheme was proposed to achieve maximum operation benefits of the large-scale CWs through parameter identification, operation simulation, evaluation, and analysis of the water quality process. Based on the two-dimensional water hydrodynamic model coupling with the Eco-Lab water quality module (with nutrients), simulation for Bagong hybrid CWs was successfully conducted.

The expansion of irrigated agriculture in semi-arid regions exacerbates the degradation of wetland ecosystems. Precision water recharge can facilitate near-natural restoration of degraded wetlands by alleviating the conflict between wetlands and agricultural water use. However, although the ecological significance of precision water recharge as a nature-based solution for restoring wetland vegetation has been widely acknowledged, the mechanisms driving its role in spikelet development and seed growth in Carex schmidtii Meinsh.
