Our understanding on phytoplankton diversity has largely been progressing since the
publication of Hutchinson on the paradox of the plankton. In this paper, we summarise some …

River phytoplankton has been studied to understand its occurrence and composition since
the end of the nineteenth century. Later, pioneers addressed mechanisms that affected river …

Long‐term dynamics of phytoplankton have been addressed in marine and lake systems,
but rarely in rivers. Large rivers, however, are highly human‐impacted, whereas global …

Dissolved oxygen is one of the most important water quality parameters in relation to aquatic
life, and one of the most direct indicators of water pollution. The present study employs a …

Abstract The Changjiang River (CR) is the third longest and fifth largest river in the world.
However, assessments of its water quality, especially those based on relatively large-scale …

Lowland lotic ecosystems are under increasing pollution pressure. In this study, we
analyzed the plankton community responses to environmental changes, including natural …

Climate change is predicted to increase drought occurrence and severity in small
continental watercourses. Here, we studied the structure and the functional diversity of …

Rivers and related freshwater ecosystems are facing increasing natural disturbance and
anthropogenic stressors. Understanding the key ecological processes that govern the …

A river-estuary ecosystem usually features a distinct salinity gradient and a complex water
environment, so it is enormously valuable to study the response mechanism of living …

The urban rivers, including Changwang, Meishe, and Wuyuan in Haikou City, Hainan Island,
are vital water sources for agricultural production and support industrial and domestic …
