AI Article Synopsis

  • Runoff samples from different cropping systems were collected in the Nansi Lake region to analyze various forms of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), along with river samples to determine their concentrations.
  • Principal component analysis (PCA) was utilized to identify non-point pollution sources of N and P, revealing three main sources accounting for 95.275% of the total variance.
  • The major contributor to contamination was runoff from a wheat-maize rotation, accounting for 50.220%, followed by garlic-maize rotation at 25.119%, and wheat-rice rotation at 19.937%.

Article Abstract

Field runoff pools were used to collect the field surface runoff samples of different cropping systems in Nansi Lake region, and different forms of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) data were analyzed. The source profiles of N and P in different cropping systems were also obtained by summarizing the experimental data measured in the current study. Samples were also collected from the 11 main rivers of Nansi Lake basin and the concentrations of N and P were determined. Principle component analysis (PCA) was applied to obtain cropping non-point pollution sources of N and P. The result showed that three types of N and P contamination sources were apportioned in Nansi Lake basin, explaining 95.275% of the total variance. The first source was from field surface runoff of wheat-maize rotation with a wide pollution range and a larger contribution, and it contributed 50. 220% of the total contamination burden; the second type of N and P source was the water runoff pollution from garlic-maize rotation, were 25.119% contribution; the third source was the surface runoff from wheat-rice rotation, and it contributed 19.937%.

Examining the impacts of natural and anthropogenic influences on aquatic macrophytes in shallow lakes is crucial for their effective restoration and management. However, there is a lack of direct evidence regarding past species composition or detailed and continuous evidence of recent changes in aquatic macrophyte communities. This study utilized plant macrofossil remains deposited in the sediment, combined with macrophyte surveys from 1983 to 2010, to reconstruct the historical changes in the macrophyte community over approximately 160 years in Lake Weishan, a sub-lake of Lake Nansi located in the lower Yellow River (Huanghe River) Basin, northern China.

Article Synopsis
  • Neonicotinoids (NEOs) are commonly found in global surface waters, but their presence in artificial waterways like the South-to-North Water Diversion Project (SNWDP) is less understood.
  • A study analyzing water samples from various sections of the SNWDP found varying NEO concentrations, with dry season concentrations typically twice as high as those in rainy seasons, influenced by inputs from natural rivers.
  • While ecological risks from specific NEOs were identified as high in certain areas, overall health assessments suggested that drinking water from the SNWDP is safe, although children face higher exposure risks than adults.

Article Synopsis
  • Human activities have changed lake ecosystems, affecting how antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) behave in these environments, especially in water-diversion lakes like Nansi and Dongping.
  • A study identified 653 ARG subtypes in these lakes, indicating seasonal changes, the influence of human modifications, and the presence of harmful bacteria linked to multidrug resistance.
  • Key findings highlight that seasonal factors such as pH and temperature significantly impact bacterial communities and ARG profiles, emphasizing the need for better understanding and management of these water systems.
