Elevated levels of total dissolved solids (TDS) have been identified as stressors to aquatic life in Central Appalachian coalfield streams. At present there are no aquatic life water quality criteria for TDS in the primary coal-producing Central Appalachian states (KY, VA, WV). In all three states, mining-related impacts on aquatic life have been characterized using measures of benthic macroinv...

Poyang Lake is the largest freshwater lake in China. It faces a series of ecological and environmental problems, hence it is important and necessary to study the land use change in the Poyang Lake region. In this study, Landsat images in 1976, 1989, 1999 and 2009 were analysed using methods including quantitative changes of land use and land use degree change in the Poyang Lake region. Land use...

The concerns about water contaminants affect most developing countries bypassing rivers over them. issue is challenging to introduce quality within the allowed limits for drinking, industrial and agricultural purposes. In present study, physical-chemical parameters measurements of samples taken from eleven stations were collected during six months in 2020 through flow path along whole length Ti...

The present paper analyses the community structure of ectomycorrhiza (ECM) and arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) fungi associated with seven different poplar clone types growing in a patch system on soil from four different former land use types, originating from spruce forest, poplar stand, grassland and cornfield. We determined the extent to which ECM and AM play a role on the studied factors (genot...

Low-enthalpy thermal waters (30–70 °C) with nitrogen as a dominant associated gas are spread within the active continental margin of Russian Far East (east and north Okhotsk Sea Coast) traditionally great importance for recreation balneology facilities. The chemically classified into three groups: (i) Na–HCO3(SO4) type, low TDS (0.2 g/L) lowest temperature (<50 high pH (9.1–9.3), (ii) Na–SO4...
