Extreme drought-heatwave exacerbates water quality deterioration in China by Jie Jiang, Zhaoli Wang, Zhenxing Zhang, Xushu Wu, Chengguang Lai, Zhaoyang Zeng, Xiaohong Chen

“…Water quality deteriorated notably during this event, evidenced by ever-increased total nitrogen (TN) concentration (∼25 % to ∼30 % higher than non-drought period), higher TN extremes (27.5 mg/L), and decreased dissolved oxygen (DO) (∼−1.0 to ∼−0.5 mg/L lower than non-drought). Northern and central China particularly suffered from severe deterioration, concentrating 71 % of TN loads during the drought period, with a steeper TN load increase than in non-drought periods. …”

A generalist vector-transmitted parasite exhibits population genetic structure among host genera by Vincenzo A. Ellis, Mélanie Duc, Arif Ciloglu, Olof Hellgren, Staffan Bensch
