The resuspension of sediment after being disturbed is simulated by particle entrainment simulator (PES). The conclusions came out as follows. Sediment nature like granulometric composition and sediment PAHs richness markedly affected the release of PAHs. During the resuspension experiment, the total suspended solids (TSS) content of the overlying water showed significant correlation with particulate PAHs. The influence of the shear stress on the release of PAHs was reflected on two aspects. On one hand, its increase was accompanied with the increase of particulate PAHs. On the other hand, the PAHs enrichment effect of TSS decreased with the increase in the shear stress, since the stronger shear stress could draw more coarse particles with fewer PAHs into overlying water. The total PAHs in the overlying water continued to raise before stabilization at 120 min or 240 min. The particulate PAHs and dissolved PAHs answered each other very well. The release behavior among PAHs of different weight varied significantly. Due to the hydrophobic property of heavy weight PAHs, PAHs detected in overlying water were mostly 3-ring or 4-ring.

The ecosystem regulating services from tidal flats, such as removal of organic pollutants, provided by natural tidal flats are being increasingly recognized, yet quantitative evaluation remains limited. Here we evaluated a nationwide capacity of natural purification in tidal flats. Using in situ sediments from five along the Korean coast (Incheon, Gunsan, Sinan, Gwangyang, and Busan), we applied a mesocosm system informed by 18 years of riverine monitoring data from national surveys.

Giant viruses (GVs; ) impact the biology and ecology of a wide range of eukaryotic hosts, with implications for global biogeochemical cycles. Here, we investigated GV niche separation in highly stratified Lake A at the northern coast of Ellesmere Island, Nunavut, Canada. This lake is composed of a layer of ice-covered freshwater that overlies saltwater derived from the ancient Arctic Ocean, and it therefore provides a broad gradient of environmental conditions and ecological habitats, each with a distinct protist community and rich assemblages of associated GVs.

The factors leading to mine water inrush accidents are mainly sources of water, water channels, and intensity of water inrush. Mine water rush depends mostly on whether damage leads to the overlying strata of the working face penetrating the overlying aquifer. There is therefore a need to characterize how the overlying strata of the coal seam roof fails and the development height of the water-conducting fracture zone during a roof water inrush incident.

Paracas Bay, located in the Humboldt Current system, is a highly variable coastal environment where hypoxia (dissolved oxygen concentrations <2 mg L) has been reported as a persistent feature of bottom conditions. In addition to hypoxia, milky water events have been reported in the bay, most likely associated with the presence of sulfides (i.e.

To effectively mitigate global eutrophication in lakes, regulating sedimentary phosphorus release remains a primary strategy. Enhancing the adsorption and stabilization performance of passivating agents is integral to addressing endogenous phosphorus pollution in aquatic systems. This study presents a novel aerogel with a high specific surface area (663.
