Summary: The study developed a physical-ecological model, FMGDM, to predict the dynamic growth and drift pattern of floating macroalgae based on Lagrangian particle tracking and ocean ecological processes. By simulating the green tide around the Yellow Sea in 2014 and 2015, the model was shown to accurately predict the spatial and temporal development of the blooms with a 7-8 day forecast window, demonstrating its effectiveness and robustness in forecasting floating macroalgal blooms.

Summary: The most massive outbreak of Ulva prolifera green tides in the southwestern Yellow Sea occurred in 2021, with significantly increased discharge of the Changjiang River and southerly wind stress anomaly during winter 2020-2021 identified as crucial factors. Nutrient enrichment off the Subei coast and the upwind transport of Changjiang water were also important contributors, with easterly wind anomaly during spring 2021 aiding in the landing of Ulva prolifera off the Lunan coast.

Summary: This study proposed a method to prevent the development of Ulva bloom by inactivating the overwintering banks of green algae on Porphyra yezoensis cultivation ropes in February and early March. Chlorine dioxide was used as an algaecide to effectively inhibit the growth of green algae on the ropes, reducing the magnitude of Ulva blooms in the Yellow Sea.

Summary: This study investigates the ability of macroalgae to sequester inorganic carbon in the ocean, using the largest green tide caused by Ulva prolifera as a case study. The research shows that massive macroalgae release organic carbon, which is transformed into dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) by microorganisms. Field investigations reveal that DIC and total alkalinity (TAlk) increase significantly in areas covered by dense U. prolifera, and offshore mapping cruises confirm higher levels of DIC and TAlk during the bloom stage. Laboratory cultivation of U. prolifera further demonstrates the enhancement effect of DIC and TAlk in seawater. This research highlights the importance of macroalgae in regulating the carbon pool in the ocean.

Summary: Green tides in the Yellow Sea have periodically occurred since 2007, impacting the ecological environment and green algal communities along the coasts of Jiangsu and Shandong provinces in China. Through surveys and comparative analyses, it was discovered that the floating form of Ulva prolifera had a multibranched morphology, while the attached form showed significant morphological variation among individuals. Genetic analysis revealed that both floating and attached Ulva prolifera could hybridize with Ulva linza. The attached form displayed a higher level of genetic diversity with abundant sites of variation and haplotypes.

Summary: Large macroalgal blooms have occurred in the Yellow Sea for the past 13 years, particularly attributed to Yellow Sea green tides. Research suggests that the metabolism of these algal mats alters the inorganic carbonate chemistry and influences the bacterial community composition in diffusive boundary layers. Studies indicate significant diel fluctuations in pH and CO2 in seawaters affected by algal mat metabolism.

Summary: The cruises in 2018 off the Qingdao coast observed early-, late, and after-bloom characteristics of an Ulva prolifera bloom. Changes in DMS, DMSP, and AA, as well as their relationships with environmental parameters, were examined. Nutrient addition promoted biogenic sulfur release during the decline of U. prolifera, contributing to an estimated 125 kg S d(-1) to atmospheric DMS.

Summary: The green tide caused by Ulva prolifera is becoming more severe due to climate change and human activity, posing a threat to tourism, aquaculture, and urban landscapes in coastal cities. This study used satellite monitoring to understand the spatio-temporal distribution of U. prolifera and found high consistency between different satellites, supporting the feasibility of using HY-1C satellite for monitoring. The study also analyzed the dynamic evolution, influence range, influence area, and drift paths of U. prolifera.

Summary: Large numbers of Amphipoda feed on floating green tide macroalgae in the Yellow Sea, with Ampithoe valida being the most abundant species in stable and decline periods. Ampithoe valida has a preference for Ulva as a food source. The physiological responses of A. valida to different temperatures, salinities, and pH levels, as well as its feeding potential on Ulva prolifera, were investigated. The study also explored the potential of using A. valida as a biological method to control green tide outbreaks in the Southern Yellow Sea.

Summary: Green tides are a common phenomenon in many sea areas worldwide, with Ulva spp. being the primary cause in China. Human activities and seawater eutrophication are the main factors contributing to the formation of green tides in the Bohai Sea, Yellow Sea, and South China Sea. This study examined the shedding rate of green tide algae and its correlation with environmental factors in Binhai Harbor. The results showed that although the shedding rate was not correlated with pH, sea surface temperature, or salinity, the environmental conditions were favorable for the proliferation of Ulva meridionalis. Based on these findings, the study highlights the potential ecological risks posed by U. meridionalis in the Yellow Sea due to increased human activities along the coast.

Summary: The study focused on heavy metal pollution in the green vegetation of a suburban industrial area in Tuokexun County, Xinjiang, China. The results showed that the overall level of heavy metal pollution in the soil was minor, with mercury (Hg) being the most severe contamination, likely caused by human activities. The composition of heavy metal elements in trees was more stable compared to grass and shrubs, with varying concentrations across different vegetation. Shrubbery was found to be the most effective in heavy metal restoration, and there were disparities in heavy metal enrichment among different vegetation types.

Summary: Plastic pollution has significant environmental impacts, largely due to chemical additives. However, the behavior of plastic additives in marine environments is not well understood. A marine deployment experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of weathering on the extractables profile of four types of plastics in New Zealand over a period of nine months. The concentration of additives in polyethylene and oxo-degradable polyethylene was strongly influenced by artificial weathering, while polyamide 6 and polyethylene terephthalate showed minimal change. These findings emphasize the importance of considering leaching and weathering effects on plastic composition when assessing the potential impact and risk of plastic pollution in receiving environments.

Summary: Few studies have examined the impact of urbanization and meteorological events on microplastics discharged into the sea through rivers. Surface water samples were collected from two Lebanese rivers, with differing degrees of urbanization, during dry and wet periods. The results showed that the most industrialized river had a significantly higher abundance of microplastics compared to the less-industrialized river. There was also a correlation between particle contamination and the season at each site, with microplastic concentrations highest on the first day of the wet season. These findings highlight the importance of considering meteorological events in accurately assessing plastic pollution influx into coastal waters.

Summary: This study investigated the variability in phytoplankton functional structure using a trait-based approach and explored the relationship between species traits and environmental factors, as well as their impact on ecosystem functioning. The results revealed that morphological traits, temperature, and ammonia played a decisive role in the seasonal succession of phytoplankton species. It was found that certain traits favored higher biomass production but might hinder energy transfer efficiency. The strong correlation between environmental variables and phytoplankton functional structure supports the practical implementation of a trait-based approach in studying phytoplankton community dynamics under different environmental conditions.
