Eutrophication remains one of the most challenging environmental problems, and microcystin-leucine-arginine (MC-LR) produced in eutrophic waters would cause serious ecological risks. However, the traditional assessment methods of trophic status, such as water quality index (WQI) and trophic status index (TSI), could not directly reflect the existence or concentration of MC-LR in water. Moreover, traditional MC-LR detection methods are costly and time-consuming. Therefore, it remains a challenge to develop a method that can simply and quickly reflect the level of MC-LR. Herein, a novel probe with specific response to MC-LR was proposed to assess the distribution characteristics of MC-LR in water bodies. By combining the response signal of the probe with the filtered water sample and the water quality parameters, a more accurate assessment tool for MC-LR was obtained. This probe can specifically respond to MC-LR in aqueous solution, and its fluorescence signal is enhanced with the increase of MC-LR concentration. More importantly, the fluorescent signal of the probe showed a significant positive correlation with MC-LR concentration in water samples. This visualization tool has practical application potential for the preliminary assessment of MC-LR in eutrophic waters.

Reusing treated wastewater (TWW) for crop irrigation has shown to provide environmental and economic benefits as well as drawbacks. This study was conducted using soils collected from a wastewater reuse facility in Tallahassee, FL, mainly to elucidate the long-term impact(s) of TWW irrigation on soil microbiome and nutrient status. Approximately 890 ha of land have been spray-irrigated with TWW since the 1980's to grow fodder crops.

Terrestrial nematodes are important soil microorganisms that modulate biological processes in soil ecosystems. Thus, these microorganisms have strong potential as soil health bioindicators. This study aimed to investigate their distribution patterns in Moroccan olive agroecosystems and to evaluate their structural and functional dynamics shaping soil disturbance status.

Eutrophication remains a persistent water quality issue throughout much of the United States, leading to changes to ecosystem health in valuable coastal habitats. Oysters help to buffer against eutrophication by removing nitrogen from the water column by feeding on phytoplankton and other seston, a process referred to as "bioextraction". Recent legislation in Texas has allowed oysters to be grown off-bottom (suspended in cages).

The composition and source information of the aquatic dissolved organic matter （DOM） in the Daihai Lake, a typical saline lake at the ecologically fragile agro-pastoral area, were explored with three-dimensional excitation and emission matrix fluorescence （3DEEM）, parallel factor analysis （PARAFAC）, and fluorescence peaks （B, T, A, M, C, D, and N）. Further, the relationship between aquatic DOM fluorescence characteristics and environmental factors were analyzed using correlation analysis in the Daihai Lake. The results showed that the water of Daihai was weakly alkaline, with high nutrient salt concentration and serious organic pollution.

Microalgae are vital for their photosynthetic abilities, contributing significantly to global oxygen production, serving as a key trophic level in aquatic ecosystems, aiding in biofuel production, assisting in wastewater treatment, and facilitating the synthesis of valuable biochemicals. Despite these advantages, photosynthetic microalgae are sensitive to salt stress, which alters their physiochemical and metabolic status, ultimately reducing microalgal growth. This sensitivity highlights the importance of understanding the impact of elevated salt content on the physiochemical, metabolic, and transcriptomic profiling of sp.
