TL;DR: The model exhibited excellent performance in representing the water quality in LakeTaihu Basin, especially when weights were fully considered, and could be used for rapid and low-cost water quality evaluation in Lake Taihu Basin.

TL;DR: The water quality in Lake Poyang was generally “moderate”, according to the classification of the surface water quality standard in China, but a deteriorating trend was observed at the interannual scale, and local management agencies should pay more attention to nutrient concentrations during the monitoring schedule.

TL;DR: A preliminary evaluation of human health risk using benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) potency equivalent concentration (PEC) as well as the incremental lifetime cancer risk (ILCR) indicated that PAHs in fish would induce potential carcinogenic effects.

TL;DR: Research across disciplinary boundaries is needed to address the challenges that lakes face in the Anthropocene because they may play an increasingly important role in harbouring unique aquatic biota as well as providing ecosystem goods and services in the future.

TL;DR: The water quality data combined with the experimental results suggest that lower wind speed and longer low wind duration can enhance the release of phosphorus from the sediments and increase nitrogen losses, likely via denitrification, because a longer stability period leads to lower dissolved oxygen concentrations near the lake bottom.
