After 2003, significant changes occurred in the “river-lake relationship” between Poyang Lake and the Yangtze River, with intensified dry conditions in autumn and winter leading to a shortened inundation period for sandbanks and significant changes in the community structure and spatial distribution of wetland vegetation. By coupling a Gaussian model with a population dynamics model, this study simulated the response of wetland vegetation to inundation duration under different hydrological year types, revealing the relationship between vegetation distribution and inundation duration. Key parameters, such as growth and mortality rates, were identified, and the vegetation succession and spatial distribution of Poyang Lake wetlands were simulated for five representative years: a wet year (2010), a normal year (2001), a dry year (2006), an extreme wet year (1998), and an extreme dry year (2022). The results showed that the response of wetland vegetation to inundation duration followed a Gaussian curve, with each species exhibiting an optimal range of inundation durations. Mortality rates increased when the duration fell outside this range. In 2010, the total area of wetland vegetation was similar to that in a normal year, but the proportions of different plant species varied significantly. Compared to 2001, the areas of <em>Phalaris arundinacea</em> and <em>Polygonum criopolitanum</em> increased by 50.92 % and 24.86 %, respectively, while the areas of <em>Phragmites australis</em> and <em>Triarrhena lutarioriparia</em> decreased by 71.66 % and 83.49 %. In 1998, the total vegetation area shrank considerably, with a 54.74 % reduction compared to 2001 and a 64.32 % reduction compared to 2006.

This study forecasted the annual river discharge forecasting in the Nilphamari district of Bangladesh, employing random forest (RF), support vector machine (SVM), and gradient boosting machine (GBM) techniques. Historical river discharge data spanning from 1990 to 2020, obtained from eight surface water stations, forms the basis of the analysis. The forecast was performed from 2021 to 2030. 11 statistical parameters were considered for performance evaluation. Additionally, four evaluation plots, comprising a quantile–quantile plot (QQ plot), a residual plot, a Bland Altman plot, and Theil’s U statistic, were employed for a detailed understanding of model accuracy. Results demonstrate that the random forest regression technique exhibited superior accuracy compared to SVM and GBM in training and testing stages. Notably, the coefficient of determination reached 97 % during the testing phase, emphasizing the robustness of this model. While Mean Absolute Error is lower (1085.071 cubic meter per second), in training, the model captures relative changes (Mean Absolute Percentage Error = 0.154) better during prediction. Willmott’s Index in training (0.77) and testing (0.55) suggest the model memorizes training data well and outperforms the other models in testing stage.

Selecting appropriate primers may be one of the key questions. However, there is currently a lack of systematic studies on differences in primer detection efficiencies. This research investigates the efficiency of six universal primers (12S, 16S, 18S, MiFish, Cytb, and COI) in detecting fish species across diverse aquatic ecosystems using an environmental DNA approach. The research spans five study areas, representing marine, river, wetland, lake, and reservoir ecosystems. Illumina MiSeq sequencing and bioinformatics tools were employed for primer performance evaluation. Results indicate that MiFish consistently outperforms other primers, detecting the highest number of fish species across all ecosystems and exhibiting superior taxonomic coverage. Furthermore, marine ecosystems consistently show higher detection numbers across all primers. The absence of commonly identified species detected by all primers emphasizes the necessity of using multiple primers for a comprehensive assessment. This study provides valuable insights into the strengths and limitations of universal primers, highlighting the importance of primer selection for accurate eDNA-based fish monitoring. The findings contribute to the scientific basis for the comprehensive management of aquatic ecosystems, assisting researchers and ecosystem managers in screening suitable fish universal primers for eDNA methods.

This climate change comes with human security and political and economic concerns. As it stands, attempts to stop all greenhouse gas emissions cannot relieve the pain inflicted by climate change. Accordingly, there is a need to direct attention to the inescapable consequences of climate change. The estimate that by 2050, about 200 million climate migrants will have been forcibly displaced worldwide, of which 86 million will be in Africa, is a cause for concern. By disconnecting security and migration, academics and peace and security practitioners must reframe their understanding of migration as a human security threat. Based on a systematic literature review, this study explores human security and mobility in Africa’s climate change context. It is argued that challenges from climate change, human activities and population pressure on land impacting land degradation are critical factors in increasing the risk of mobility and human security in Africa. These risks require anticipatory steps to overcome them. Hence, this study contributes to the risk assessment of mobility and human security by highlighting some indicators and distinguishing the incremental impacts of climate change while investigating opportunities to design adaptation actions for sustaining security and mobility. The study suggests that the human security approach should be integrated into the migration and climate migration policy frameworks, including efforts to promote a people-centred and more holistic approach to address human security. Even if climate migration presents a security issue, it does not necessarily threaten national security alone but human security. Options considering the complex and multifaceted nature of challenges to peoples’ well-being because of climate change and its related disasters across Africa are explored.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101280,"journal":{"name":"Watershed Ecology and the Environment","volume":"6 ","pages":"Pages 242-251"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142553948","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unfortunately, natural wetlands have been not explored much in comparison to the ocean and the terrestrial ecosystem for MP occurrence and its toxicity. Meanwhile, these natural wetlands offer important ecological services and have a high biodiversity, both of which could be compromised by the rising levels of MP contamination in such systems. However, due to limited research in natural wetlands possible ecological repercussions are still lacking. Even there are uncertainties about MPs in the wetlands regarding their distribution and fate. Since these wetlands have the potential to trap plastics and could act as a sink for MPs, it becomes essential to investigate the natural wetland for MP contamination and its possible toxicological risks in wetlands.

The ecotoxicological status, source apportionment and health risk assessment of PTEs (Iron (Fe), Nickel (Ni), Cadmium (Cd), Selenium (Se), Zinc (Zn), Lead (Pb), Chromium (Cr) and Copper (Cu)) in creeks (Fibiri and Iwoama) along Bonny River were examined through laboratory analysis (American Public Health Association standard), indicators and statistical techniques. The PTEs concentration of surface water and sediment for both creeks exceeded the WHO allowable limit, and the surface water trended as Cr &gt; Pb &gt; Fe &gt; Ni &gt; Cd &gt; Zn &gt; Cu &gt; Se for Fibiri creeks, Fe &gt; Cr &gt; Pb &gt; Ni &gt; Cd &gt; Zn &gt; Cu &gt; Se for Iwoama creek while the sediment trended as Fe &gt; Pb &gt; Ni &gt; Cr &gt; Zn &gt; Cd &gt; Cu &gt; Se for both creeks. The contamination factor (CF) of the creek’s sediment showed low CF (Zn and Cu), moderate CF (Ni, Pb and Cr) and very high CF (Fe and Cd), while risk index status ranged from low risk (Ni, Zn, Pb, Cr and Cu), moderate risk (Fe) and significantly high risk (Cd). The human health risk revealed that children could be exposed to potential non-carcinogenic effect (HI &gt; 1) with Zn (1.64 and 2.03), and the Total Carcinogenic Risk (TCR) for children indicated high carcinogenic risk (TCR &gt; 1 × 10<sup>−4</sup>) for Ni, Pb, Cr and Cd of the creeks’ environmental mediums. The similarity in the trend and status of the creeks suggested that both environments are exposed to similar anthropogenic activities impact.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101280,"journal":{"name":"Watershed Ecology and the Environment","volume":"6 ","pages":"Pages 105-113"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S258947142400007X/pdfft?md5=1be187ecb2b3452261247180a8ad87b8&pid=1-s2.0-S258947142400007X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141481034","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
