Abstract Despite our growing understanding of the global carbon cycle, scientific consensus on drivers and mechanisms that control dissolved organic (DOC) turnover in aquatic systems is lacking, hampered by mismatch between research approaches DOC reactivity from either intrinsic (inherent chemical properties) or extrinsic (environmental context) perspectives. Here we propose a conceptual view which combination factors controls rates determines reactions will occur. We review three major types (biological, photochemical, flocculation) an perspective further define environmental features modulate expression chemically inherent potential. Finally, hypotheses how together shape patterns across land‐to‐ocean continuum, underscoring there no without context. By acknowledging intrinsic–extrinsic duality, framework intends to foster improved modeling its impact ecosystem services.

Microplastics are a prolific environmental contaminant. Curbing microplastic pollution requires an array of globally relevant interventions, including source-reduction and curative measures. A novel, nature-based solution to microplastics is proposed, in which mussels deployed aquatic ecosystems act as biofilters, removing waterborne repackaging them into biodeposits that subsequently captured removed. Blue (Mytilus edulis) were used establish the feasibility such approach. In laboratory, exposed representative flume tank; at initial concentration 1000 L-1, reduced concentrations average rate 40,146 kg-1 h-1. Mussel faeces sank irrespective content, with sinking velocities 223-266 m day-1. Modelling predicts ∼3 × 109 on ropes mouths estuaries could remove 4% discharged from rivers. Mussels successfully prototype biodeposit collection system urban marina, 5.0 kg 239.9 ± 145.9 anthropogenic particles day-1 their faeces. These results provide impetus for further development solutions targeting plastic debris.

Abstract Coastal ecosystems are strongly influenced by terrestrial inputs of freshwater, sediments, and nutrients, particularly in a megariver estuary the Changjiang River. A remarkable increase nutrient loading from River to shelf has been observed over period 1999 2016 turned region into high eutrophication condition. The Finite‐Volume Community Ocean Model European Regional Seas Ecosystem were coupled assess impact on interannual variability nutrients phytoplankton. model was first validated via observational data, then dynamical analysis conducted. Singular vector decomposition indicated that rapid change local ecosystem highly correlated with river contributions. estuarine phosphate limited. exhibited variation, while abundant nitrate diluted low‐nitrate oceanic water. suspended sediment significantly phytoplankton but not nutrients. ratio diatom biomass dinoflagellate respected response strong oscillations input.

Abstract Frontal processes play a significant role in estuarine and coastal ecosystem dynamics. In this study, hydrodynamic model of the Changjiang River plume was developed based on Regional Ocean Modeling System, Lagrangian Coherent Structures (LCSs) were applied to simulations analyze horizontal transport characteristics river with surface front, tidal far‐field front summer. The results show that currents during ebb tide supercritical upstream near‐field subcritical downstream fronts. LCSs results, barriers existing frontal regions indicated materials hardly crossed fronts tended accumulate. water parcels near entirely originated from Estuary. East China Sea shelf could not influence region due barrier formed by front. Momentum balance analysis reveal geostrophic around fronts, rendering flows mainly along‐front direction significantly weakening cross‐shore flows. These physical provided enough residence time growth for phytoplankton thus favored algal blooming sufficient nutrients. Even though convergence induced also appeared insufficient supply nutrients limited growth.
