The ecological impacts of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) on water
ecology remain elusive in natural environments. We investigated the influence of antibiotics …

Abstract Lakes on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) have been subject to multiple
environmental pressures from rapid climate change and intensified human activity in recent …

In recent decades, show caves have begun to suffer from microorganism proliferation due to
artificial lighting installations for touristic activity. In addition to the aesthetic problem, light …

Being a fundamental property of aquatic systems, gross primary productivity (GPP) is
affected by complex environmental factors, such as salinity, nutrients, pH, and sunlight …

Plant rhizosphere-associated bacterial communities play key roles in affecting host health in
response to diverse biotic stresses. Currently, the effect of continuous cropping of potato on …

Anthropogenic and natural disturbance to inland aquatic ecosystems displays a notable
spatial difference, yet data to measure these differences are scarce. This study …

Algal biofilms play an essential role in ecosystem functioning, but their physiological and
biochemical changes during salt stress remain poorly understood. This study aimed at …

Lakes are widely distributed on the Tibetan Plateau, which plays an important role in natural
methane emission. Aerobic methanotrophs in lake sediments reduce the amount of methane …

Trace metal concentrations in lake systems may inhibit or promote phytoplankton growth
and associated community structure factors, subsequently affecting their gross primary …

Abstract The Great Salt Lake (GSL) is a unique hypersaline system with an understudied
phytoplankton assemblage supporting a productive open water ecosystem in the largest …
