In recent decades, climate change and other anthropogenic activities have substantially affected groundwater systems worldwide. These impacts include changes in recharge, discharge, flow, storage, distribution. Climate-induced shifts are evident altered recharge rates, greater contribution to streamflow glacierized catchments, enhanced flow permafrost areas. Direct withdrawal injection, regional regime modification, water table storage alterations, redistribution of embedded foods globally....
Abstract Near- and off-shore fresh groundwater resources become increasingly important with the social economic development in coastal areas. Although large scale (hundreds of km) submarine discharge (SGD) to ocean has been shown be same magnitude order as river discharge, (SFGD) comparable is never reported. Here, we proposed a method coupling mass-balance models water, salt radium isotopes based on field data 223 Ra, 226 Ra salinity estimate SFGD, SGD. By applying Laizhou Bay (a water area...
Abstract Abundant crab burrows in carbon‐rich, muddy salt marsh soils act as preferential water flow conduits, potentially enhancing carbon transport across the soil–water interface. With increasing recognition of blue systems (salt marshes, mangroves, and seagrass) hotspots soil sequestration, it is important to understand drivers cycling fluxes. We conducted field observations modeling assess how drive exchange over time scales minutes weeks an intertidal South Carolina. Results showed...
This study assessed the significance and potential impact of potentially toxic element (PTE) (i.e., Mn, Pb, Cu, Zn, Cr, Cd, Ni) pollution in surface soil from an abandoned manganese mining area Xiangtan City, Hunan Province, China, on health residents. The risks were sequentially evaluated using a series protocols including: geo-accumulation index (Igeo), load (PLI), ecological risk (RI), implications for human external exposures hazard quotient (HQ), (HI) carcinogenic (CR). results revealed...
Abstract Subsurface substance migration in the fractured rock aquifer is mainly controlled by fractures, and prediction of solute transport fractures important to many geophysical processes engineering activities. This study explores possibility predicting process single from measurable physical properties. For this purpose, we conducted a large number pore‐scale simulations 3D with different apertures various degrees roughness. The numerically‐obtained breakthrough curves under laminar flow...
Large-river deltaic estuaries and adjacent continental shelves have experienced multiple phases of transgressions regressions to form interlayered aquifer-aquitard systems are expected host vast paleo-terrestrial groundwater hundreds kilometres offshore. Here, we used offshore hydrogeology, marine geophysical reflections, porewater geochemistry, paleo-hydrogeological models, identified a previously unknown freshened body with static volume up 575.6 ± 44.9 km3 in the Pearl River Estuary...
Our extensive field studies demonstrate that saline groundwater inland and freshened offshore coexist in the same aquifer system Pearl River delta its adjacent shelf. This counterintuitive phenomenon challenges commonly held assumption onshore is typically fresh, while saline. To address this knowledge gap, we conduct a series of sophisticated paleo-hydrogeological models to explore formation mechanism evolution process inland-shelf systems. findings indicate shelf has formed during...
Abstract BACKGROUND Peptidomics combined with molecular docking is an effective alternative method for rapid screening of novel bioactive peptides in food. Buffalo milk as a potential source dipeptidyl peptidase‐IV (DPP‐IV) inhibitory has been less studied. and methods were employed to rapidly screen new DPP‐IV from buffalo milk. The screened further verified using vitro inhibition assay Caco‐2 cell assay. RESULTS rate was increased 73.40 ± 6.01% 97.23 3.18% digestion assay, suggesting that...
The existence of offshore freshened groundwater (OFG) has been well recognised over the globe but studies on chemistry OFG are extremely limited due to scarcity dedicated drilling investigations. In this study, we integrate hydrogeology, geochemical and isotopic tracers, transport modelling quantitatively evaluate hydrochemical characteristics persistence an system in Pearl River Estuary its adjacent shelf. Offshore suggests comprises a vast low-salinity body extending up 180 km offshore,...
Greening is the optimal way to mitigate climate change and water quality degradation caused by agricultural expansion rapid urbanization. However, ideal sites plant trees or grass achieve a win-win solution between environment economy remain unknown. Here, we performed 12-year comprehensive observation in Jiulong River watershed (southeastern China) nationwide survey on groundwater China (n = 90), combining them with statistical AI models explore linkages land use within hydrologically...
Eutrophic shallow lakes are hotspots of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) accumulation transformation, increasingly recognized as important sources greenhouse gases (GHGs: CO2, CH4 N2O). Lacustrine groundwater discharge (LGD) is a crucial component the water budget terrestrial material delivery for lakes, but its interplays with intrinsic C-N biogeochemical processes remain less tackled. In this study, C N ingredients multiple stable isotopes (δ2H, δ18O, δ13C,...
Delta ecosystems are critical zones connecting terrestrial and marine environments, with delta sediments preserving long-term records of land-sea interactions environmental changes. The Pearl River (PRD) is characterized by elevated ammonium levels in groundwater, posing risks to water quality health. This study investigates the microbial processes driving generation accumulation across distinct depositional (terrestrial-dominated, transitional, marine-dominated) Holocene PRD. Microbial...
This review is motivated by deep concern over the current, relatively fragmented state of lake and groundwater research. For example, Chinese mega basins such as Lake Taihu, Dongting, Poyang, Hongze, Chaohu are not only major cropland areas but also habitats for 120 million residents. These lakes have faced serious issues decades, rapid shrinking water volume in severe eutrophication algal blooms Taihu Chaohu. Despite significant efforts environmental limnology scientists to prevent these...
During the past decades, large enrichments of 226Ra in coastal waters have been reported worldwide. By means elimination, these were used to infer submarine groundwater discharge from a hypothetical “subterranean estuary”. A critical assumption thereof is that regeneration on marine sediments contributes little this nuclide ocean. In study, we measured and 230Th activities two ~ 30-meter-long sediment cores collected subaqueous delta Pearl River, China. Using novel...
