Riparian buffers can influence water quality in downstream lakes or rivers by buffering non-point source pollution in upstream agricultural fields. With increasing nitrogen (N) pollution in small agricultural watersheds, a major function of riparian buffers is to retain N in the soil. A series of field experiments were conducted to monitor pollutant transport in riparian buffers of small waters...

Inundation shifts plant growth, species diversity and ecosystem stability, but it remains unclear how inundation depth shapes the phenotypic variability of clonal plants in an estuary wetland. To reveal response populations to depth, we calculated variation Phragmites australis using shoot height, leaf length, width, biomass panicle length Liaohe Reproductive allocation was defined by ratio hei...

A new kind of flocculants, named Polymer Silicate Phosphate Ferric Sulfate(PSPFS), was synthesized by ferrous sulfate used as the main material and activated silicic acid as additive. In this paper, High-Viscosity Oil Refining wastewater from Liaohe Petrochemical Corporation was the treatment object. Overall, the influencing factors and synthesis technology conditions of PSPFS were determined b...
