A new data set of seasonal stable water isotopes (delta D and delta O-18) and temperature-salinity profiles was applied to improve our understanding of water mass distributions and their impact on the environment of the ...
Semi-enclosed bays are particularly vulnerable to heavy metal accumulation because water exchange is limited and particle-bound contaminants are efficiently retained. In this study, six heavy metals (Cr, Cu, Zn, As, Pb, ...
Concentrations of eight heavy metals (i.e., Fe, Mn, Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd and Pb) in the seawater, suspended particulate matter (SPM) and sediments of the Zhanjiang Bay were investigated in 2014. The concentrations of metal...
The Guadalupian-Lopingian Boundary marks a crucial phase of biological and environmental turnover during the Permian. However, the evolutionary patterns and mechanisms controlling paleo-primary productivity during this i...

The terminal Ediacaran period witnessed major environmental and biological turnovers, yet the mechanisms connecting these changes remain poorly constrained. Here, we present high-resolution carbonate carbon isotope (δ13C...
Since offshore waters are less affected by human activities and nutrient-rich water masses, existing theories on periodic offshore blooms (POB) consider that the POB is proportional to the intensity of ocean fronts (nutr...
The decrease of river runoff caused by the intensified human activities (e.g. artificial dams) and increasing intrusion of high salinity water in the coastal bays have become a worldwide environmental problem. However, t...
Monthly analytical results for more than two years long of delta N-15 and delta O-15 of nitrate in wet deposition are reported for a tropical city of Zhanjiang in the southernmost mainland China, in an effort to elucidat...

We recently reported that decomposition (as a carbon source) of organic matter (OM) is the dominant process in coastal waters after typhoons, which is contrary to phytoplankton blooms (as a carbon sink) in previous studi...
Dual isotope nitrate (NO3-) analysis was performed on the western coast of Guangdong Province to investigate seasonal changes in the main nitrate sources and their biogeochemical processing, which are due to the rapid de...
Surface currents play an essential role in the worldwide distribution of microplastics in the coastal seas and open oceans. As a branch of the western boundary currents (WBCs), Kuroshio changes seawater properties and po...

High-resolution stalagmite oxygen isotope (delta O-18) records are widely employed in palaeoclimate studies as indicators of East Asian Monsoon intensity in southern China. A key issue is whether the East Asian Monsoon o...
Microplastic (MP) was investigated in Zhanjiang Bay, a semi-enclosed bay in south China and famous for considerable mariculture industry, to evaluate whether mariculture activities accelerated MP pollution. The MP abunda...

The Beibu Gulf (also named the Gulf of Tonkin), located in the northwest of the South China Sea, is representative of a bay suffering from turbulence and contamination associated with rapid industrialization and urbaniza...
Typhoons frequently induce algal blooms in the open ocean based on the satellite remote sensing data. However, the effects of typhoons on nearshore areas are not fully clarified due to the inaccessibility of in situ samp...

Typhoons and rainstorms (rainfall >250 mm day(- 1)) are extreme weather events that seriously impact coastal oceanography and biogeochemical cycles. However, changes in the mixing of water masses and nutrient supply indu...
Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) is well known for its harmful effects and has been banned around the world. However, DDT is still frequently detected in natural environments, particularly in aquaculture and harbor ...
The isotopic composition (delta C-13 and delta N-15), organic carbon and nitrogen contents and C/N ratios of suspended particulate organic matter (POM) collected from the Pearl River Estuary and the adjacent shelf during...
