    Abstract Food has consistently been shown to be an important source of exposure to environmental pollutants, drawing attention to the health risks of pollutants in marine mammals with high daily food intake. Here, the dietary exposure risks posed to the Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins from the Pearl River Estuary (PRE), China, by fourteen phthalate metabolites (mPAEs) were evaluated for the first time. On the basis of liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis, the levels of ∑

    Abstract Biophysical cohesive mud, consisting of clay minerals and extracellular polymeric substance (EPS), plays significant role in determining sediments, nutrients and pollutants transport in estuarine and coastal systems. Series of laboratory jar experiments have been conducted aiming at filling the gap of knowledge regarding how biological cohesive EPS affects equilibrium flocculation of EPS-mineral mixtures. Four types of common clay (chlorite, kaolinite, illite and montmorillonite) were chosen due to their abundance in estuarine mud and distinct crystal chemistry and structures. Turbulent shear throughout all the experimental runs were constantly provided at a mean shear parameter of G ≈ 15 s

    Abstract Plastic additives, such as organophosphate esters (OPEs) and phthalate esters (PAEs), are raising public concerns due to their widespread presence and potential health risks. Nonetheless, the occurrences and potential health risks of these additives in marine mammals remain limited. Here, we first investigated the accumulation patterns and potential risks of OPEs and metabolites of PAEs (mPAEs) in Indo-Pacific finless porpoises inhabiting the northern South China Sea (NSCS) during 2007-2020.

    Abstract In the southwest karst areas of China, changes in overlying vegetation due to ecological restoration cause considerable carbon sequestration (CS). Assessing the CS potential of vegetation restoration in this areas is crucial for promoting the optimization and regulation of regional vegetation restoration(VR) policies. This study is based on net primary productivity, maximum vegetation coverage and average vegetation coverage. Using the VR effectiveness index (Ej) to quantitatively evaluate the spatiotemporal characteristics of VR effectiveness, quantifying the spatiotemporal pattern of vegetation restoration CS using the vegetation photosynthetic CS model, and clarifying the main driving mechanisms of vegetation restoration CS.This results showed that more than 54.25 % of the studied area in the ecologically fragile areas has achieved significant VR (Ej ≥ 20) from 2000 to 2020. The spatial distribution of vegetation CS intensity and potential was higher in the southwest than in the northeast. Moreover, there was a strong spatial correlation between the areas with greater vegetation CS densities and the areas with poor natural background conditions, showing that the effectiveness of ecological restoration and economic growth complement each other. The correlation between the potential for vegetation CS and the current value of vegetation cover was r = 0.06 (p < 0.05) and the correlation with the magnitude of change in vegetation cover was r = 0.38 (p < 0.05), which indicates that vegetation CS has a greater potential where the magnitude of vegetation greening is greater. The greening range of vegetation was constrained by the natural background environment in ecologically fragile areas, and the continuous enhancement of positive feedback intervention and weakening of negative feedback tended to promote the greening range of vegetation on the ground surface and increased the CS potential. This results provide a reference for the long-term goal of “carbon neutrality” in response to VR and CS in ecologically ...

    Abstract Biophysical cohesive mud, consisting of mineral clays and extracellular polymeric substance (EPS), plays significant role in determining sediments, nutrients and pollutants transport in estuarine and coastal systems. Series of laboratory jar experiments have been conducted aiming at filling the gap of knowledge regarding how biological cohesive EPS affects equilibrium flocculation of EPS-mineral mixtures. Four types of common clay (chlorite, kaolinite, illite and montmorillonite) were chosen due to their abundance in estuarine mud and distinct crystal chemistry and structures. Turbulent shear throughout all the experimental runs were constantly provided at a mean shear parameter of G≈15 s⁻¹ being equivalent to high tidal influenced estuarine turbulent environment. The results reveal that adding EPS increases the equilibrium floc size evidently. The pure mineral flocs show unimodal equilibrium floc size distribution (eFSD) with single peak located at microfloc range (<200 μm) while the EPS-mineral flocs show bimodal eFSD with a secondary peak located in macroflocs range (>200 μm) mostly. Moreover, EPS largely reduces the effective density in EPS-mineral flocs by 1∼2 magnitude. Most importantly, the terminal settling velocity of flocs shows size-dominated in uniform mineral floc cases but density-dominated in EPS-mineral mixture floc cases especially in macroflocs. To model a full floc size or settling velocity distributions in natural environments, furtherly quantification of EPS functions within the large-sized non-fractal mixture floc individually becomes a necessity.

    Abstract The flocculation dynamics within the bottom boundary layer (BBL) of tidal estuaries constitute a pivotal and intricate aspect entwined with hydrodynamics and morphodynamics. In microtidal estuaries, where saltwater intrusion occurs, the ensuing impacts on ecosystems, biological habitats, and human activities underscore necessity for comprehensive understanding. In pursuit of elucidating flocculation dynamics within estuarine BBLs, an extensive 25-hour survey was conducted throughout a complete tidal-cycle in the Huangmaohai estuary, China. This investigation encompassed the collection of data pertaining hydrodynamics, biochemical characteristics of suspended flocs within the BBL. The observed irregular semidiurnal tide was delineated into six distinct stages: I) Weak flood, II) Flood slack, III) Strong ebb, IV) Ebb slack, V) Strong flood and VI) Flood slack. The amalgamation of empirical findings and theoretical analyses has facilitated the development of conceptual model delineating the intricate processes and interactions of multiple factors within each stage (I-VI) in the BBL of a prototypical micro-tidal estuary. Notably, it reveals biological factors exhibit a significantly higher efficacy in estuarine flocculation dynamics within the BBL compared to the chemical ion attractions, attributable to variations in salinity. Further nuances emerged, indicating that semi-liquid extracellular polymeric substance (EPS) plays a substantial role in the formation of high-density flocs, particularly during periods of heightened turbulent shear conditions in flood and ebb times (I, III, V). Conversely, particulate biological debris predominantly contributes to low-density flocs characterized by a low settling velocity, particularly for large flocs >200 μm during tidal slacks (I, IV), and smaller median-sized flocs (70-200 μm) during flood or ebb times (III, V) due to turbulent induced breakage of bio-particles. This study underscores the significance of quantitative investigations into the biological components within individual flocs under estuarine hydrodynamics as a pivotal step towards comprehending flocculation mechanisms and predicting cohesive sediment transport within the BBLs of estuaries.
