Emissions of carbon dioxide (CO 2), as for different sectors have drawn increasingly
attentions due to carbon peaking and neutrality goals. In the transportation sector, civil …

Planktonic bacterial and microeukaryotic communities play important roles in
biogeochemical cycles, but their biogeographic patterns and community assembly …

China is undergoing an extensive hydropower development, but the magnitude of
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions risk to reservoirs is not well known. Electricity generation …

The effects of large cascade dams on eukaryotic plankton communities in freshwater river-
reservoir ecosystems are probably uncharted in previous studies. The purpose of this …

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from reservoirs and global urbanization have gained
widespread attention, yet the response of GHG emissions to the watershed urbanization is …

Rivers are an important source of CO 2 to the atmosphere, however, mountainous rivers and
streams with high emission rates are not well studied particularly in China. We report the first …

Large rivers are commonly regulated by damming, yet the effects of such disruption on
bacterioplankton community structures have not been adequately studied. The aim of this …

Abstract The Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) in China has large water level variations,
creating about 393 km 2 of drawdown area seasonally. Farming practices in drawdown area …

Dam construction and impoundment cause discontinuities in the natural biophysical
gradients in rivers. These discontinuities may alter distinctive habitats and different microbial …

Pre-impoundment clearance in an area to be flooded by a reservoir is a commonly applied
