Environmental DNA Metabarcoding Reveals the Variations in Fish Diversity Across the Yangtze River Basin and the Effects of the Three Gorges Dam

It is imperative that freshwater fish biodiversity research incorporates diverse components, encompassing taxonomy, phylogeny and function, alongside multifaceted facets, including richness, divergence and regularity. This comprehensive approach is essential to facilitate a more...

The Influence of Immersion Duration on Erosion Differentiation Along Riverbanks in the Middle Yangtze River

ABSTRACT The middle reaches of the Yangtze River, especially the Jiujiang region with unconsolidated soil, suffer frequent erosion‐induced collapses, yet the mechanism by which immersion duration regulates soil properties and drives differential erosion remains unclear. To addres...

Seasonal variations of soil water vapor distribution transport and phase transition in the loess unsaturated zone from fixed volume monitoring

Abstract Water vapor is a crucial yet often overlooked water resource in the soil’s unsaturated zone of arid and semi-arid regions. Understanding water vapor behavior in the soil’s unsaturated zone is crucial for research on soil and energy balance, vegetation water stress, and w...
