TL;DR: Wetlands are often considered as nature-based solutions that can provide a multitude of services of great social, economic and environmental value to humankind as discussed by the authors, and they can provide great social and economic benefits to humans.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered the unregulated Selenga River and its basin, located in Russia and Mongolia, and showed that peak flow events during spring and summer contribute to the main part (70-80%) of the annual sediment and pollution loads in upstream parts of the basin.

TL;DR: It is suggested that local to regional transformation and enrichment processes in combination with suspended sediment transport from numerous existing upstream mining areas contribute to high concentrations of dissolved heavy metals in downstream parts of the Selenga River, including its delta area at Lake Baikal.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the pathways and mass flows of heavy metals and metalloids both in dissolved and suspended forms, taking a basin-scale perspective that previously has not been fully pursued in the Lake Baikal region.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the impact of geomorphological changes on the Selenga River delta and its barrier function. And they showed that geomorphology processes, which govern the partitioning of flow between different channel systems, may therefore directly govern the barrier function of the delta.
