TL;DR: Investigation of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River in China found that heavy metals may be mainly derived from metal processing, electroplating industries, industrial wastewater, and domestic sewage, and Hg may also originate from coal combustion.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors reported the quantitative predictions of climate change on riparian species, such as Homonoia riparia (H. riparia) Lour, a species native to China, is a medicinal plant with high ecological and economic value.

TL;DR: Accumulative ecological risk of metals indicated that zoobenthos had the largest metal propagation risk and compartments located at higher trophic levels were not easier affected by the external environment pollution.

TL;DR: In this article, an urban storm-inundation simulation method (USISM) based on geographic information systems (GIS) is proposed to determine inundation conditions quickly with only a few commonly available input data, and the result reveals that the USISM could find inundation locations in the urban area and quickly calculate inundation depth and area.

TL;DR: Fishes living in the lower water layer and river bottom had higher metals concentrations than in upper and middle layers, and several fishes exceeded the permissible food consumption limits, which should be considered to be an important warning signal.
