Alteration in the potential of sediment phosphorus release along series of rubber dams in a typical urban landscape river.

ABSTRACT: Rubber dams are widely used for landscaping in urban rivers and they retain large amounts of sediments. The sediments are rich in phosphorus (P) which can cause river eutrophication. Little is known about P release in rubber dams. We investigated the potential of sediment P release by isotherm experiment in an urban river with 30 rubber dams of northern China. We found that the potential of sediment P release (percentage saturation of zero equilibrium P concentration, EPCsat) was 76% at natural river part above dams, and then decreased to 67% at the 4th dam because of high deposition of fine sediments within the upper 4 dams. Between the 5th and the 30th dams, EPCsat increased to 90% because of the decrease of fine sediments and water soluble reactive P. EPCsat was also significantly higher (p?

Sediment Extract Series River Rhine

Project description:The zebrafish embryo has repeatedly proved to be a useful model for the analysis of effects by environmental toxicants. This proof-of-concept study was performed to investigate if an approach combining mechanism-specific bioassays with microarray techniques can obtain more in-depth insights into the ecotoxicity of complex pollutant mixtures as present, e.g., in sediment extracts. For this end, altered gene expression was compared to data from established bioassays as well as to results from chemical analysis. Microarray analysis revealed several classes of significantly regulated genes which could to a considerably extend be related to the hazard potential. Results indicate that potential classes of contaminants can be assigned to sediment extracts by both classical biomarker genes and corresponding expression profile analyses of known substances. However, it is difficult to distinguish between specific responses and more universal detoxification of the organism. Microarray analysis were performed with early life stages of zebrafish exposed to 2 sediment extracts from the Upper part of the River Rhine, Germany. The expression profile as then compared to the expression pattern of model toxicants, such as, 4-chloroaniline, Cadmium, DDT, TCDD, and Valproic acid (Gene Expression Omnibus Series GSE9357). Additionally, combining mechanism-specific bioassays as well as chemical analysis of the sediments to the gene expression data has contributed to a more comprehensive view on the hazard potential of the sediments.

Sediment Series Upper Danube River (Sediment Extract and Freeze-Dried)

Project description:The zebrafish embryo has repeatedly proved to be a useful model for the analysis of effects by environmental toxicants. This study was performed to investigate if an approach combining mechanism-specific bioassays with microarray techniques can obtain more in-depth insights into the ecotoxicity of complex pollutant mixtures as present, e.g., in freeze-dried whole sediment samples and their corresponding organic extracts in parallel. To this end, altered gene expression was compared to data from established bioassays as well as to results from chemical analysis. Microarray analysis revealed several classes of significantly regulated genes which could to a considerable extent be related to the hazard potential. Results indicate that potential classes of contaminants can be assigned to sediment extracts by both classical biomarker genes and corresponding expression profile analyses of known substances. However, it is difficult to distinguish between specific responses and more universal detoxification of the organism. Additionally, different gene expression was shown to be less influenced by the sampling site than by the method of exposure, which could be attributed to differential bioavailability of contaminants. Microarray analyses were performed with early life stages of zebrafish exposed to sediment extracts or freeze-dried sediment from three sampling sites (Ehingen, Lauchert, Sigmaringen) along the Upper part of the Danube River, Germany. The expression profiles were compared within the sampling sites, between the exposure scheme and to the expression pattern of model toxicants, such as 4-chloroaniline, Cadmium, DDT, TCDD, and Valproic acid (Gene Expression Omnibus Series GSE9357). Additionally, mechanism-specific bioassays and chemical analysis of the sediments have been combined and compared to the present gene expression data.

Ecological Flow Response Analysis to a Typical Strong Hydrological Alteration River in China.

Project description:Ecological flow is an important indicator for reflecting the stability of a watershed ecosystem. The calculation of ecological discharge under hydrological variation has become a research hot-spot. The Ganjiang River south of Poyang Lake in China was taken as an example in this study. Hydrological Alteration Diagnosis System methods were used to detect the change-points. The Distributed Time Variation Gain Model (DTVGM) was used to carry out runoff restoration. The Probability-weighted Flow Duration Curve was applied to calculate the ecological flow. The results showed that: (1) The hydrological alteration of the Waizhou Station occurred in 1991, the annual runoff increased by 10%, and the Gini coefficient (GI) increased by 0.07 after the change-point. The change in precipitation was the main driving factors. (2) The R value and NSE of the DTVGM were greater than 0.84, which represents the feasibility of the model used to restore runoff. (3) Compared to the traditional hydrological method, the proposed method can better reflect the inter-annual difference of ecological flow, flow ranges for high, normal, and low flow years are 398-3771 m3/s, 352-2160 m3/s, and 277-1657 m3/s, respectively. The calculation method of ecological flow in rivers considering hydrological variation can more scientifically reflect the impact of hydrological variation on ecological flow process, ecological flow under different human activities that can be calculated, such as dam control, water intake and water transfer, furthermore, it also provides a scientific basis for water resources planning and allocation under changing environment.

Bacterial community structure upstream and downstream of cascade dams along the Lancang River in southwestern China.

Project description:Extensive construction of dams by humans has caused alterations in flow regimes and concomitant alterations in river ecosystems. Even so, bacterioplankton diversity in large rivers influenced by cascade dams has been largely ignored. In this study, bacterial community diversity and profiles of seven cascade dams along the720 km of the Lancang River were studied using Illumina sequencing of the V3-V4 hypervariable region of the 16S rRNA gene. Spatiotemporal variations of bacterial communities in sediment and water of the Gongguoqiao hydroelectric dam and factors affecting these variations were also examined. Microbial diversity and richness in surface water increased slightly from upstream toward downstream along the river. A significant positive correlation between spatial distance and dissimilarities in bacterial community structure was confirmed (Mantel test, r = 0.4826, p = 0.001). At the Gongguoqiao hydroelectric dam, temporal differences in water overwhelmed spatial variability in bacterial communities. Temperature, precipitation, and nutrient levels were major drivers of seasonal microbial changes. Most functional groups associated with carbon cycling in sediment samples decreased from winter to summer. Our findings improve our understanding of associations, compositions, and predicted functional profiles of microbial communities in a large riverine ecosystem influenced by multiple cascade dams.

Characteristics of planktonic and sediment bacterial communities in a heavily polluted urban river.

Project description:Urban rivers represent a unique ecosystem in which pollution occurs regularly, altering the biogeochemical characteristics of waterbodies and sediments. However, little is presently known about the spatiotemporal patterns of planktonic and sediment bacterial community diversities and compositions in urban rivers. Herein, Illumina MiSeq high-throughput sequencing was performed to reveal the spatiotemporal dynamics of bacterial populations in Liangtan River, a heavily polluted urban river in Chongqing City (China). The results showed the richness and diversity of sediment bacteria were significantly higher than those of planktonic bacteria, whereas a strong overlap (46.7%) in OTUs was identified between water and sediment samples. Bacterial community composition remarkably differed in waters and sediments. Planktonic bacterial communities were dominated by Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Cyanobacteria and Actinobacteria, while sediment bacterial communities mainly included Proteobacteria, Actinobacteria, Chloroflexi and Bacteroidetes. Additionally, several taxonomic groups of potential bacterial pathogens showed an increasing trend in water and sediment samples from residential and industrial areas (RI). Variation partition analysis (VPA) indicated that temperature and nutrient were identified as the main drivers determining the planktonic and sediment bacterial assemblages. These results highlight that bacterial communities in the polluted urban river exhibit spatiotemporal variation due to the combined influence of environmental factors associated with sewage discharge and hydropower dams.

Study of microbial functional structure in Xiangjiang River sediment

Project description:Xiangjiang River (Hunan, China) has been contaminated with heavy metal for several decades by surrounding factories. However, little is known about the influence of a gradient of heavy metal contamination on the diversity, structure of microbial functional gene in sediment. To deeply understand the impact of heavy metal contamination on microbial community, a comprehensive functional gene array (GeoChip 5.0) has been used to study the functional genes structure, composition, diversity and metabolic potential of microbial community from three heavy metal polluted sites of Xiangjiang River.
