Climate change and eutrophication have significant impacts on aquatic ecosystems, with phytoplankton playing a critical role as primary producers. This study investigates the relationships between phytoplankton communities and environmental and meteo...
Wuliangsuhai Lake is the largest shore lake in the upper reaches of the Yellow River and has become an important ecological barrier and habitat for birds in northern China. In recent years, pollutants and nutrient loads have been partially reduced, a...
Ice surface albedo is an important factor in various optical remote sensing technologies used to determine the distribution of snow or melt water on the ice, and to judge the formation or melting of lake ice in winter, especially in cold and arid are...
As one of the eight largest freshwater lakes in China, Wuliangsuhai Lake is an extremely rare large lake with biodiversity and environmental protection functions in one of the world’s arid or semi-arid areas and it plays a pivotal role in prote...

Water quality is a key indicator of human health. Wuliangsuhai Lake plays an important role in maintaining the ecological balance of the region, protecting the local species diversity and maintaining agricultural development. However, it is also faci...
It is imperative to elucidate the process of evaporation in lakes, particularly those that are freshwater and are situated in middle and high latitudes. Based on one-year evaporation and high-frequency meteorological–water quality data of Lake...
Heavy metals (HMs) in aquatic environments are characterized by high toxicity, a propensity for bioaccumulation, and non-degradability, and pose significant risks to biological communities. Previous studies of HMs in lakes have shown that the physica...
Bacteria play a critical role in the material and energy-cycling processes of lake ecosystems. To understand the characteristics of the bacterial community in Wuliangsuhai Lake in spring, we explored the influence of environmental factors on the comm...
This study explored the dynamics of bacterial community composition, response to environmental factors, and co-occurrence network models across different habitats of Wuliangsuhai Lake during the glacial period. Water quality analysis and high-through...
Mercury and arsenic are two highly toxic pollutants, and many researchers have explored the effects of the two substances on the environment. However, the research content of toxic substances in frozen periods is relatively small. To explore the spat...
To investigate the changes in heavy metal content in the sub glacial water during the freezing and thawing process of seasonally frozen lakes, the Wuliangsuhai Lake in northern China was taken as the research object. The ice thickness, water depth, a...
The multiphase components of natural ice contain gas, ice, unfrozen water, sediment and brine. X-ray computed tomography (CT) analysis of ice multiphase components has the advantage of high precision, non-destructiveness and visualization; however, i...
To improve the understanding of the seasonal evolution of the mass and heat budget of ice-covered lakes in the cold and arid climate zone, in-situ observations were collected during two winters (2016–2017 and 2017–2018) in Lake Wuliangsuh...
Quantitative assessment of the effectiveness of ecological restoration provides timely feedback on restoration efforts, and helps to accurately understand the extent of restoration, while providing scientific support for optimizing restoration progra...
Lake sediments are important indicators of human activities and environmental changes, while lakes in northern China receive little attention. Heavy metal elements in core sediments from Bosten Lake (BST) in the arid area, Wuliangsuhai Lake (WLS) in...
Phytoplankton and bacteria play key roles in material cycling and their consequent eco-functions in lakes, which are threatened by anthropogenic pressures, especially agricultural activities, which, in the watershed, are effective in changing the mat...
Exploring eco-environmental quality dynamics in the Daihai Lake Basin has significant implications for the conservation of ecological environments in the semi-arid and arid regions of northern China. Based on the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform, t...
Surface water is a crucial part of terrestrial ecosystems and is crucial to maintaining ecosystem health, ensuring social stability, and promoting high-quality regional economic development. The surface water in the Yellow River Basin (YRB) has a hig...
Lake sediments act as important sinks for heavy metals and microplastics, yet the mechanisms governing their enrichment, coexistence, and combined ecological risks remain insufficiently understood. This study investigated sediments from Daihai Lake,...
