DOI: 10.1002/rra.3194
Abstract: Excessive inputs of fine-grained sediment can damage aquatic ecosystems both by degrading habitat condition and by directly impairing biota. Recent research has improved our understanding of how benthic macroinvertebrates respond to fine-grained sediment stress, leading… read more here.

Abstract: Floodplain lakes are good metacommunity systems to study the environmental and spatial processes structuring local assemblages. They are more connected during high-water periods and are more isolated during low-water periods. We evaluated the effects of… read more here.

Abstract: To assess the aquaculture-induced sediment conditions associated with sulfur cycles, shifts in bacterial communities across farming stages were investigated. The sulfate reduction rate (SRR), and concentrations of acid volatile sulfide (AVS) and H2S were significantly… read more here.
