Summary: This study highlights the seasonal carbon emissions and water area fluctuation in the Ob River floodplain, showing the significant impact of dissolved organic carbon on CO2 concentrations and fluxes. The floodplain may play a larger role in total C emissions, especially during flood years and in the northern regions of the Ob River basin.

Summary: The research analyzed the abundance of burbot larvae migrating downstream from spawning areas in the Ob River's tributaries and in floodplain systems. It found correlations between larvae survival rates and environmental factors like water temperature. The availability of phytoplankton was suggested as a key factor affecting the survival of feeding larvae.

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between macrophyte community structure and environmental features in the Lower Parana River floodplain, revealing that water ammonium and nitrate concentrations, turbidity, and flood frequency directly affected macrophyte assemblages. Connectivity between shallow lakes and watercourses influenced their physical and chemical features, while the dynamics of shallow lakes were associated with flood frequency, indirectly impacting macrophyte composition.

Summary: This study investigates the spatial distribution and morphological scales of dunes in the lower Yangtze River using high-resolution bathymetry surveys. The results show that dunes are commonly developed and exhibit a power function relationship between length and height. The operation of upstream dams and channel regulation have significant impacts on dune development.

Summary: The study found that there is a significant amount of microplastics present in sediments and water collected from the Ganga River in India. White color and film-shaped microplastics were the major contributors in all samples, with microplastics of 2.5-5 mm size contributing the most in terms of number and mass. Polyethylene was identified as a widely distributed plastic type in the samples, reflecting its high usability.

Summary: This study explores the relationship between fish larvae and marine environmental factors in the Pearl River Estuary (PRE) using multisensor satellite remote sensing and fishing surveys. The spatial-temporal distribution of fish larvae in the PRE is influenced by different seasons and factors such as monsoon and flow field. Understanding the movement of fish larvae can contribute to better habitat conservation in the PRE under a changing climate.

Summary: This study predicted spatial variability in algal productivity in the Mitchell River floodplain in northern Australia using satellite remote sensing and statistical modelling. The results showed that open water and areas with less vegetation cover had higher rates of algal production compared to other habitats.

Summary: In hardwood floodplain forests, significant relationships exist between soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks and hydromorphic features, soil texture, C/N ratio, pH, and forest age. The complexity of interactions among heterogeneous microrelief, anthropogenic effects, and hydrologic situation make it challenging to predict SOC stocks accurately without field validation. Profiling the controlling factors for SOC storage in these environments suggests that relief and sedimentation proxies are the strongest factors influencing SOC stocks, while vegetation plays a subordinate role.

Summary: Drug metabolizing enzymes, such as cytochrome P450s, have been found to influence pesticide toxicity and resistance. However, the contribution of different tissues to pesticide metabolism is not well understood. In this study using Drosophila melanogaster, we investigated the role of specific tissues in pesticide toxicology and found that the midgut plays a significant role in larval toxicology.

Summary: This study investigates the hydrological and morphological modifications of wetlands in the lower Atreyee river basin in India and Bangladesh. The results show a significant decrease in wetland area due to conversion to other land uses, fragmentation, and the construction of a dam. Agricultural and built-up area expansions are identified as the main causes of wetland conversion. The findings emphasize the importance of conservation efforts and highlight the negative impacts of human activities on wetland ecosystems.

Summary: The study found that significant changes in land use have occurred in the boreal zone of northern Eurasia over the past century, particularly in the vast regions of Russia. By conducting a retrospective analysis of the landscape dynamics in the middle reaches of the Ob floodplain in Western Siberia, it was discovered that the meadows in this area were already being used for agriculture before the 1830s. The development of drainage systems in the 1970s and 1980s facilitated the utilization of previously wetlands. However, a substantial abandonment of pastures and reclaimed land occurred in the late 20th century. The study also revealed that abandoned meadows have the ability to resist overgrowth with trees and shrubs.

Summary: This study focuses on the geochemistry of potentially toxic elements in the soils of the Lower Don basin, revealing that some elements are of natural origin, some are of mixed sources, while lead and cadmium are mainly from anthropogenic sources. The study also determines the geochemical background values for soils and observes the highest integrated pollution indices in floodplain soils.

Summary: The study reveals that the obvious spatial expansion of human settlements in the lower Yellow River floodplain during the Longshan period was mainly driven by changes in hydroclimatic conditions and human activities, leading to the shrinking of lakes and marshes and the creation of more arable land, which in turn attracted a rapid increase in the local population.

Summary: The study evaluated the nursery function of restored floodplain channels for rheophilic fish in the lower river Rhine by analyzing 30 years of monitoring data from 12 restoration projects. It found that the nursery area suitability was higher in two-sided connected channels, with rheophilic fish abundance reaching optimal conditions at 13 to 14 years post-restoration. However, rheophilic species richness showed a decreasing trend with channel age, indicating aging channels became less suitable as nursery areas for most rheophilic fish species.

Summary: Bangladesh, the largest delta in the world, is facing severe erosion along the Padma River, especially since the construction of the Padma Bridge started in 2014. Our study reveals that around 134.85 sq. km of land has been lost between 2003 and 2021 on the downstream right bank of the river. Using artificial neural network (ANN) system, we predict the future behavior of the river and highlight the urgent need for appropriate measures to prevent catastrophic consequences.
