Lakes are important natural sources of atmospheric methane (CH4), which should be considered in global CH4 budget estimations. However, the emissions from lakes can highly variable, and river inlet region were less studied, seriously hamper our understanding estimates lakes. Here, field measurements over six years (2012 to 2017) at Lake Taihu, a large eutrophic shallow lake with complicated net...

Microorganisms can both indicate the water quality characteristics and health of aquatic environment, which have an important influence on cycling organic carbon, nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) in nature. In this study, we took Taihu Lake, a typical eutrophic lake China, as research object, monitored northern (Changzhou City) southern (Changxing County) regions Lake for three consecutive years (2...

The oriental river prawn (Macrobrachium nipponense) is mainly distributed in East Asia. The phylogeography, population genetic structure and historical demography of this species in the East Asia were examined by using partial sequences of the cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) and 16S rRNA in mitochondrial DNA. Ten populations that included 239 individuals were collected from Taiwan (Shihmen R...

Lakes in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River form a shallow lake group unique in the World that is becoming increasingly polluted by heavy metals. Previous studies have largely focused on individual lakes, with limited exploration of the regional pattern of heavy metal pollution of the lake group in this area. This paper explores the sources, intensity and spatial patterns of heav...

In response to the problems of large computational volume and tedious process fuzzy integrated evaluation, general neural network models without clear water quality training criteria, this paper organically combines rules, affiliation function, network, proposes a comprehensive method for evaluation based on T-S network. On three monitoring data six national key stations in Taihu Lake Basin, me...
