The Yangtze River-Dongting Lake link has gotten a lot of attention as a because of the Three Gorges Project. However, the hydrological dynamic process and future direction of the river-lake interaction in the context of sediment reduction are yet unknown. Based on Dongting Lake Basin runoff and sediment data from 1961 to 2020, as well as field monitoring data of turbidity and flow velocity from Yichang to Chenglingji section of the Yangtze River, this paper examines the runoff and sediment variation law and hydrological dynamic process of Chenglingji, the only outlet connecting Dongting Lake to the Yangtze River, and reveals the development trend of the river-lake relationship. After absorbing high-concentration material from Dongting Lake, Chenglingji's turbidity and energy per unit water body alter dramatically. When the high-speed flow from the mainstream of the Yangtze River and the gentle flow of Dongting Lake pass through the "deep trough" of Chenglingji, the two streams of high and low flow velocity intersect and decelerate to dissipate energy, and the flow structure becomes more complicated. Dongting Lake has experienced three stages: deposition (1961-2007) -erosion (2008-2017) -deposition (2018-2020). The river-lake relationship will tend to a new dynamic equilibrium state in the future.

Protected areas are refugia for wildlife and play a crucial role in biodiversity conservation, especially in the restoration of rare and endangered species. However, little attention has been paid to the long-term contribution of protected areas to rare species population rejuvenation. To identify the population growth of milu deer (Elaphurus davidianus)in protected areas and unprotected areas, we fitted the population dynamics curve of reintroduced free-ranging and wild populations based on long-term monitoring data in four protected areas: Jiangsu Dafeng Milu National Nature Reserve, Hubei Shishou Milu National Nature Reserve, Hunan East Dongting Lake National Nature Reserve, and Jiangxi Poyang Lake area.

To enhance the activity of the nitrate reduction reaction (NORR), the development of oxygen vacancies electrocatalysts is a promising approach for improving the efficiency of ammonia synthesis. However, the mechanism by which oxygen vacancies regulate NORR to ammonia remains poorly understood. In this study, a series of CoO/FeO composite catalysts derived from ZIF-67 containing oxygen vacancies (OVs) were synthesized to elucidate the role of OVs on the activity and selectivity of ammonia synthesis.

The study of terrestrial phosphorus inflow （hereafter referred to as phosphorus inflow） fluxes is essential for controlling non-point source （NPS） pollution. The SWAT model was successfully used to simulate phosphorus inflow fluxes in the Dongting Lake area, while a hybrid model （LSTM and SWAT） was developed and validated for predicting the reduction in phosphorus inflow fluxes among rivers based on three typical reduction scenarios： agricultural control, livestock and poultry reduction, and soil and water conservation measures. The results showed that the inflow flux of TP was 3.

Excessive nitrogen exported to water bodies affects the balance of ecosystem and poses a threat to human health. Although the concept of water purification service helps quantify nitrogen export, the impact of river transport remains unclear. This study focused on nitrogen as a pollutant by utilizing the Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Tradeoffs (InVEST) model to assess nitrogen export in the Dongting Lake Basin, taking into account both the processes of sub-basin nitrogen export and river transport.
