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...
Human activities have changed global nutrients cycling and appreciably altered marine ecosystems in riverine-estuarine systems. This is evident by the significant shifts in the supply of nitrogen and phosphorus. However,...
The grain-size distributions and heavy metal content in two sediment cores from Dachan Bay were analyzed, and the vertical distribution, provenance, and ecological risk of heavy metal were evaluated. The concentrations (...
The past few decades have seen a massive increase in global coastal eutrophication, for which nitrogen enrichment is usually the primary causative agent. Based on field monitoring data from coastal waters during dry, wet...
Phosphorus (P), a significant biogenic element, plays a key role in the primary productivity of estuarine and coastal ecosystems. The study determined that the seasonal dynamics of total dissolved P (TDP)in the coastal a...
Human activities and climate change have changed large river estuary ecosystems, which impacts nutrient enrichment in coastal waters. Enhanced nutrient levels lead to eutrophication, oxygen deficits, and frequent occurre...

Reinforced concrete (RC) structures usually are exposed to a wide variety of combined actions, which may cause various damages to the structures. The main objective of this study is to investigate the vertical non-unifor...
In marine environments, urea is an important component of the biogeochemical cycle of nitrogen. The autochthonous and allochthonous sources (rivers, aquaculture, waste water input, etc.) of urea play a key role in urea c...
Dissolved silicate (DSi) is an important nutrient in coastal water, which is used by planktonic diatoms for cell division and growth. In this study, surface water samples were collected in the eutrophic Zhanjiang Bay (ZJ...

Land-based sources are the key sources of plastic debris, and mismanaged plastic debris can eventually enter the ocean via marine beaches. In this study, the spatial distribution and amount of plastic debris in the land-...
Climate change and anthropogenic pressures have significantly affected coastal environments. This study obtained historical data on harmful algal blooms (HABs) and nutrient patterns over a 30-year period to explore respo...
Phosphorus (P) plays key role in phytoplankton primary production in coastal water. In this study, seawater samples collected within China's Leizhou Peninsula coastal waters from October 2017 to July 2018 were examined t...

Plastic debris contamination in marine environments is a global problem that poses a considerable threat to the sustainability and health of coastal ecosystems. Marine beaches, as the key zones where terrestrial plastic ...
Increasingly serious microplastic pollution in coastal areas and the ecological threats associated with plastics have attracted global attention. The frequency and intensity of typhoons have increased owing to global war...
Nitrogen (N) plays an important role in marine ecosystems as a biogenic element for phytoplankton. The tidal cycle had major influence on various biogeochemical parameters of the bay and changed nutrients input with the ...
The increasing riverine nutrient sources have significantly affected the ecological environment of estuaries and coastal waters, resulting in deteriorating land-sea water quality and intensified eutrophication. However, ...
Human activities have altered global nutrient cycling and have significantly changed marine systems. This is evidenced by the significant changes in nitrogen and phosphorus availability. The Maowei Sea (MWS) is the large...
Coastal eutrophication, the over-enrichment of water with nutrients, has become a global ecological problem. As coastal waters are subjected to great pressure due to anthropogenic influences and climate change, establish...

Water-soluble anions and suspended fine particles have negative impacts on ecosystems and human health, which is a current research hotspot. In this study, coastal suburb, coastal urban area, coastal tourist area, and co...
Nutrients and carbon play important roles in algal bloom and development. However, nutrients and carbon interactions in the period of the spring algal bloom are not well understood. The aim of this study is to explore th...

Estuaries and sewage outlets are key pathways for the transport of microplastics (MPs) from land to coastal waters. In this study, the spatiotemporal pattern, composition, and flux of MPs transported from land to Zhanjia...
As heavy metals are easy to accumulate and have strong biological toxicity, they pose a potential threat to human health by entering the human body through the cumulative effect of marine life. Land-based input is an imp...
Sedimentary phosphorus (P) release and retention are important in controlling P dynamics in coastal waters. Here, two sediment cores were analysed to understand the P speciation and sedimentary P release characteristics ...
