REEs in wetland sediments from the Oaxaca coast in southern Mexico were used to infer the sources and depositional processes by involving both the geochemical characteristics and geostatistical approaches. Statistically strong positive correlation between REEs confirmed similar origin in all the cores. Light REEs (LREEs) represented >84 % of ΣREE mean concentrations varies between 47.95 (C1) and 87.84 mg/kg (C3). NASC normalized La/Yb, La/Sm, and Gd/Yb ratios indicated more Middle REEs in sediments of C1 and C3 cores and more LREEs in C2 and C4 cores indicating the different mineralogical associations. The absence of Ce anomaly and significant negative Eu anomalies is due to the presence of Fe/Mn oxy-hydroxide, humid subtropical conditions and a strong leaching process. Comparison with REE and possible sources revealed contributions from the Sierra Madre del Sur Mountains with major influences of igneous rocks such as andesite, basaltic andesite, dacite, rhyolitic tuff and rhyolitic vitrophyre.

Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a biological process in which anaerobic microorganisms convert organic matter into methane-rich gas, contributing to the cycling of carbon and other nutrients. Quorum sensing (QS), a microbial communication mechanism, plays a critical role in regulating population-level behaviors within AD systems. This review systematically examines the roles and applications of QS in AD, emphasizing its importance in enhancing process efficiency.

Groundwater-dependent ecosystems in areas with industrial land use are at risk of exposure to a PFAS chemicals. We investigated one such system with several known PFAS source areas, where high and low permeability sediments (glacial) coupled with groundwater-lake and groundwater/surface-water interactions created complex 'source to seep' dynamics. Using heat-tracing and chemical methods, numerous preferential groundwater discharge zones were identified and sampled across the upper Quashnet River stream-wetland system in Mashpee, MA, USA, downgradient of Joint Base Cape Cod (JBCC).

Arsenic (As) pollution in coastal wetlands has been receiving growing attention. However, the exact mechanism of As mobility driven by tidal action is still not completely understood. The results reveal that lower total As concentrations in solution were observed in the flood-ebb treatment (FE), with the highest concentration being 7.

Mangrove ecosystems have attracted widespread attention because of their high salinity, muddy or sandy soil, and low pH, as well as being partly anoxic and periodically soaked by tides. Mangrove plants, soil, or sediment-derived fungi, especially the species, possess unique metabolic pathways to produce secondary metabolites with novel structures and potent biological activities. This paper reviews the structural diversity and biological activity of secondary metabolites isolated from mangrove ecosystem-derived species over the past 5 years (January 2020-October 2024), and 417 natural products (including 170 new compounds, among which 32 new compounds were separated under the guidance of molecular networking and the OSMAC approach) are described.

However, there is a lack of direct evidence regarding past species composition or detailed and continuous evidence of recent changes in aquatic macrophyte communities. This study utilized plant macrofossil remains deposited in the sediment, combined with macrophyte surveys from 1983 to 2010, to reconstruct the historical changes in the macrophyte community over approximately 160 years in Lake Weishan, a sub-lake of Lake Nansi located in the lower Yellow River (Huanghe River) Basin, northern China.
