At the first time for the period after the Chernobyl NPP accident the nature of the redistribution of the Sr concentrations in components of the ecosystems of the salt lakes of the Crimea were identified and described. Concentration of Sr in water of the salt lakes depends on the sources of the inflow this radionuclide into aquatic ecosystems and salinity level of lakes water. Until April 2014 the flow of the Dnieper river water through the Northern-Crimean canal was more important factor of contamination of salt lakes of the Crimea by Sr, than atmospheric fallout of this radionuclide after the Chernobyl NPP accident. Concentrations of Sr in water of the salt lakes of the Crimea exceeded 2.4-156.5 times its concentrations in their bottom sediments. The Sr dose commitments to hydrophytes, which were sampled from the salt lakes of the Crimea have not reached values which could impact them during entire the after-accident period.

Chloride concentrations in freshwater are rising, with toxic effects on aquatic life. In temperate regions with cold winters, road salt used for deicing paved surfaces is a primary cause. There is evidence that water hardness can modify salt toxicity, but data are insufficient to inform policy.

China. Electronic address:
The coexistence of different microbial communities is fundamental to the sustainability of many ecosystems, yet our understanding of the relationships among microbial communities in plateau cold-region lakes affected by seasonal ice cover remains limited. This research involved investigating three lakes in the Inner Mongolia segment of the Yellow River basin during frozen and unfrozen periods in two habitats: water bodies and sediments. The research examined the composition and function of bacteria, archaea, and fungi across different times and habitats within the basin, their response to environmental variables in water and sediment, and inter-domain interactions between bacteria-archaea and bacteria-fungi were compared using interdomain ecological network (IDEN).

Background: Climate change and human activities have caused the drying of marine environments around the world. An example is the Great Salt Lake in Utah, USA which is at a near record low water level. Adverse health effects have been associated with exposure to windblown dust originating from dried lakebed sediments, but mechanistic studies evaluating the health effects of these dusts are limited.

The yolk-shell architecture offers a promising solution to the challenges of silicon (Si) anodes in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), particularly in addressing the significant volume changes that occur during charge and discharge cycles. However, traditional construction methods often rely on sacrificial templates and acid or alkali etching, which limits industrial applicability. In this work, we successfully constructed a silicon/carbon (Si/C) composite with a multicore yolk-shell structure using scalable spray drying technology and in-situ growth of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) at room temperature.
