Grain-Size Constrained Quantitative Calibration of Marine Sediment XRF Data Using Ensemble Machine Learning

Significant mineral phase partitioning of various elements is widely observed in marine sediments. Distinct elemental responses to grain-size sorting hinder accurate conversion of XRF scanning counts to elemental concentrations, yet this geological mechanism lacks quantitative co...

Effects of Aged Polymethylmethacrylate Microplastics on Physiological Biochemistry and Intestinal-Sediment Microbial Communities of Urechis unicinctus (von Drasche, 1881)

Microplastics (MPs) widely distribute in marine environments and generate severe hazards to marine biota, yet little is known regarding the toxic impacts of aged MPs on benthic invertebrates and their surrounding sediment microbiota. This work aimed to fill this research gap by e...

The Water-Sediment Regulation Scheme Drives Phytoplankton Dynamics in the Yellow River Estuary

The Water-Sediment Regulation Scheme (WSRS) of the Yellow River is a large-scale anthropogenic intervention designed to alleviate downstream channel siltation, yet its long-term ecological effects on estuarine phytoplankton communities remain contentious. Based on a 12-year (2011...

Intraseasonal variability and eddy-induced structural modulation of the North Pacific intermediate water revealed by multi-mooring observations

Abstract. The North Pacific Intermediate Water (NPIW) plays a crucial role in modulating oceanic thermohaline circulation and biogeochemical processes. However, limited continuous observations have hindered the understanding of its short-term variability and structural response t...

Exploratory cumulative genetic scores for mathematical ability moderate the relationship between parental educational involvement and children’s mathematical ability: a four-wave longitudinal study

This study investigated the concurrent and longitudinal interaction effects of parental educational involvement and the cumulative genetic scores (CGS) of four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) potentially related to mathematical ability on children’s mathematical ability, a...

Accumulation, toxicity, and underlying mechanisms of short-chain chlorinated paraffins in early life stages of Chlamys farreri

Short-chain chlorinated paraffins (SCCPs) have attracted extensive attention due to their wide distribution and associated human exposure risks. Although marine bivalves exhibit a high accumulation capacity for SCCPs, their toxicological effects and underlying mechanisms remain p...
