Human activities for exploitation and utilization of coastal zones have transformed coastline morphology and severely changed regional flow fields, underwater topography, and sediment distribution in the sea. In this study, single-beam bathymetry cou...
Phaeocystis globose (P. glo) are the most frequent harmful algae responsible for red tides in Qinzhou Bay, Guangxi. They pose a significant threat to the coastal marine ecosystem, making it essential to develop an efficient indicator method tailored...
This study proposes a high-precision method for retrieving sea surface salinity (SSS) using GF-1 satellite imagery, focusing on Qinzhou Bay along the Guangxi coast. The analysis identified the spectral index B3×B4/(B1×B2) as having the st...
Globally, coastal regions are vital areas of human activity and, as such, are centers of population growth and urban and economic development. Long-term human development has had a major impact on the ecological environment of coastal zones. Therefor...
Chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) concentration is a measure of phytoplankton biomass, and has been used to identify ‘red tide’ events. However, nearshore waters are optically complex, making the accurate determination of the chlorophyll-a concentration challeng...
The influence of the paleo-Tethys or paleo-Pacific oceanic plate subduction on Early Triassic South China has long been debated. We have studied the zircon U-Th-Hf isotopes, trace elements, and whole-rock geochemistry of Early Triassic peraluminous g...
Nutrients and organic pollutants transported by submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) play a significant role in controlling water quality, and can lead to the concerned deleterious effects on marine ecosystems. Subterranean estuaries are complicated...
In the past few decades, with the rapid economic development of China and Vietnam, the marine ecological environment of Beibu Gulf is facing increasing pressure. To understand the impact of anthropogenic inputs on marine ecology, high-performance liq...
Based on the method for identifying the boundary of movable water bodies (MWBB), the spatial distribution of reclamation projects in the Guangxi Beibu Gulf were identified over the past 40 years and the impact of these engineering facilities on hydro...
Heavy metal pollution from human activities is an increasing environmental concern. This study investigates the concentrations of Cu, Pb, Zn, Cd, Hg, and As in the coastal seawater offshore of Beihai, Guangxi, in April 2021, and explores their relati...
In order to discover a broad-specificity and high stability chitinase, a marine fungus, Aspergillus fumigatus df347, was identified in the sediments of mangrove wetlands in Qinzhou Bay, China. The chitinase gene (AfChi28) from A. fumigatus df347 was...
