The frozen period interaction of groundwater and lakes is crucial for hydrological properties and aquatic ecology in cold and arid regions. In this study, we investigate the spatial hydrochemical characteristics, influencing factors in the Hulun Lake basin. The hydrochemical type of lake water exhibits Na-HCO-SO-Cl, while river shows a primary classification of Na-Ca-HCO. Groundwater in the eastern and western regions is characterized by Na-SO-Cl and Na-HCO, respectively. Silicic acid and ion exchange predominantly influence groundwater chemistry in the western region, whereas evaporation and concentration play a major role in the eastern region. Total dissolved solids, Cl, and F emerge as the primary influencing factors of hydrochemical components in the Hulun Lake basin. Ion content decreased from the southern to the northern region, with the lowest value occurring near the Urson River. The high-temperature water body is primarily distributed in the central and southern regions of the lake. Based on characteristic ions and partial characteristics of ice surface temperature, the potential groundwater discharge areas near the inlet of the Xinkai River, the central and southern region are determined. This study reveals the hydrochemical characteristics, vertical ice distribution, and provides a scientific foundation for water resource management in cold and arid regions.

Record-setting cyanobacterial bloom in the largest freshwater lake in northern China caused by joint effects of hydrological variations and nutrient enrichment.

Cyanobacterial blooms represent a significant environmental issue posing widespread threats to global aquatic ecological health. Climate and nutrient enrichment were the most studied factors modulating cyanobacterial blooms in eutrophic lakes. However, in many floodplain lakes, the importance of hydrological variation in driving and predicting cyanobacterial blooms is often overlooked and largely underestimated, which has hampered the effectiveness of lake management.

Cyanobacterial blooms are one of the most common stressors aquatic plants and animals encounter in freshwater ecosystems such as rivers and lakes. Following such outbreaks, some cyanobacteria release toxins, notably microcystins, which are highly toxic. Although numerous studies have explored the effects of microcystins on fish, their in-situ effects on the fish gut microbiome remain unexamined.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines carbon dioxide exchange (FCO2) in Hulun Lake, the largest grassland lake in northern China, between 1963 and 2023, highlighting significant seasonal and annual variations in FCO2 levels.
- It identifies a pivotal shift in the lake's role from a carbon source (emitting CO2) to a carbon sink (absorbing CO2) occurring between 2019 and 2020, impacted by environmental factors such as climate change and eutrophication.
- The study suggests that increased primary productivity due to rising temperatures and nutrient enrichment has enhanced photosynthesis, allowing the lake to sequester more carbon than it releases.
Exploring environment-specific regulation: Characterizing bacterioplankton community dynamics in a typical lake of Inner Mongolia, China.

Article Synopsis
- Lakes are diverse ecosystems that host various bacteria, but there are still gaps in understanding how these bacteria differ in different environments.
- The study analyzed bacterioplankton from 35 water samples taken from three different lakes in Inner Mongolia, revealing patterns based on geographic location and identifying specific bacterial groups, such as Proteobacteria and Actinobacteriota, and their variations across the lakes.
- Results showed that community assembly was influenced more by random processes rather than specific environmental factors, indicating that bacteria in these lakes can interact and adapt in complex ways.

Lake ecological processes and nutrient patterns are increasingly affected by water level variation around the world. Still, the long-term effects of water level change on lake ecosystems and their implications for suitable lake level management have rarely been studied. Here, we studied the ecosystem dynamics of a mesotrophic lake located in the cold and arid region of northern China based on long-term paleo-diatom and fishery records.
