Effective water management in large river basins requires a comprehensive understanding of policy effectiveness and regulatory frameworks. However, quantitative assessments of water-related policies remain limited. Here, we propose a novel quantitative framework for evaluating water policies in large river basins, providing an intuitive and systematic approach for decision-makers. Using the Yellow River Basin—the second-largest river basin in China—as a case study, we constructed a database of 1271 water-related policies spanning 68 cities. We assessed the completeness of nine representative policies, identifying key gaps in water environment governance. To evaluate management effectiveness, we developed a system integrating two key subsystems: water resource utilization and water environment treatment, incorporating climatic, economic, and industrial factors. Our findings reveal that water environment governance policies were more effective than those targeting water resource utilization, though their impact was delayed by one to two years. Furthermore, a risk-based analysis pinpointed critical water management challenges in each city, offering actionable insights for policy optimization. This framework provides a robust and scalable approach for assessing the effectiveness of complex water policies in large river basins, with global applicability for improving water governance.

大型流域的有效水资源管理需要对政策有效性和监管框架有全面的了解。然而，与水有关的政策的定量评估仍然有限。在此，我们提出了一个新的定量框架来评估大流域的水政策，为决策者提供了一个直观和系统的方法。以中国第二大河流黄河流域为例，构建了一个涵盖68个城市的1271项与水相关政策的数据库。我们评估了九项代表性政策的完整性，确定了水环境治理方面的关键差距。为了评估管理的有效性，我们开发了一个系统，集成了水资源利用和水环境处理两个关键子系统，结合了气候、经济和工业因素。研究结果表明，中国的水环境治理政策比以水资源利用为目标的政策更有效，但其影响要延迟一到两年。此外，基于风险的分析明确了每个城市的关键水管理挑战，为政策优化提供了可行的见解。该框架为评估大型河流流域复杂水政策的有效性提供了一种强有力的、可扩展的方法，对改善水治理具有全球适用性。

Microplastics have emerged as pervasive environmental pollutants, posing significant risks to both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems worldwide. Current remediation strategies—including physical, chemical, and microbial methods—are inadequate for large-scale, in situ removal of microplastics, highlighting the urgent need for alternative solutions. Phytoremediation, an eco-friendly and cost-effective technology, holds promise in addressing these challenges, though its application to microplastic pollution remains underexplored. Here we show the capacity of Eichhornia crassipes (water hyacinth), a fast-growing, floating aquatic plant, to remove microplastics from contaminated water. Our results show that within 48 h, water hyacinth achieved removal efficiencies of 55.3 %, 69.1 %, and 68.8 % for 0.5, 1, and 2 μm polystyrene particles, respectively, with root adsorption identified as the primary mechanism. Fluorescence microscopy revealed that the extremely large and abundant root caps, featuring a total surface area exceeding 150,000 mm² per plant, serve as the principal sites for the entrapment of microplastics. Furthermore, a unique “vascular ring” structure within the stem prevents the translocation of microplastics to aerial tissues, safeguarding leaves for potential downstream applications. This study offers the first microstructural insight into the mechanisms underpinning water hyacinth's exceptional microplastic adsorption capacity and resilience, providing a promising framework for developing phytoremediation strategies to mitigate microplastic pollution in aquatic ecosystems.

微塑料已成为普遍存在的环境污染物，对全球陆地和水生生态系统构成重大风险。目前的修复策略——包括物理、化学和微生物方法——不足以大规模就地去除微塑料，因此迫切需要替代解决方案。植物修复技术是一种生态友好且具有成本效益的技术，有望解决这些挑战，尽管其在微塑料污染中的应用仍未得到充分探索。在这里，我们展示了水葫芦（水葫芦），一种快速生长的漂浮水生植物，从污染的水中去除微塑料的能力。结果表明，在48 h内，水葫芦对0.5 μm、1 μm和2 μm聚苯乙烯颗粒的去除率分别为55.3%、69.1%和68.8%，其中根吸附是主要机理。荧光显微镜显示，极其巨大和丰富的根冠，其总表面积超过150000平方毫米，是微塑料捕获的主要场所。此外，茎内独特的“维管环”结构可以防止微塑料转移到空中组织，保护叶片的潜在下游应用。该研究首次从微观结构上深入了解水葫芦具有优异的微塑料吸附能力和弹性的机制，为开发植物修复策略以减轻水生生态系统中的微塑料污染提供了一个有希望的框架。

Environmental protection policies (EPPs) play a pivotal role in advancing sustainable development and maintaining ecological balance by establishing clear directives and standards. However, a comprehensive methodology to evaluate the effectiveness of these policies remains underdeveloped. Here, we employ a difference-in-differences (DID) approach to assess the effectiveness of EPPs, using the implementation of the Resident Work (RW) policy as a quasi-natural experiment. Drawing on urban-level panel data from the Yangtze River Basin between 2016 and 2021, we demonstrate that the DID model robustly evaluates the RW policy's impact on water quality improvement. Cities that adopted the RW policy experienced a 0.0098 reduction in water pollution compared to non-adopting cities. A dynamic analysis revealed progressive water quality improvements over time, with stronger effects observed in economically disadvantaged cities. Furthermore, higher policy evaluation scores correlated with greater improvements in water quality. This study highlights the utility of the DID model in quantifying EPP effectiveness and offers a scalable framework for policy evaluation in environmental management.

环境保护政策通过制定明确的指令和标准，在促进可持续发展和维护生态平衡方面发挥着关键作用。然而，评价这些政策有效性的综合方法仍然不发达。在这里，我们采用差异中差异（DID）方法来评估epp的有效性，并将常驻工作（RW）政策的实施作为准自然实验。利用2016 - 2021年长江流域城市层面的面板数据，我们证明DID模型对节水政策对水质改善的影响进行了稳健评估。采用RW政策的城市与未采用政策的城市相比，水污染减少了0.0098。一项动态分析显示，随着时间的推移，水质逐渐改善，在经济落后的城市，效果更明显。此外，较高的政策评价分数与水质的较大改善相关。本研究强调了DID模型在量化环境保护计划有效性方面的效用，并为环境管理中的政策评估提供了一个可扩展的框架。

The sustainable treatment of hypersaline organic wastewater (HSOW) remains a significant challenge in industrial wastewater management, as conventional approaches often fail to meet stringent discharge standards and low-carbon sustainability targets. Halotolerant and halophilic microbial strains offer promising solutions, yet their application is hindered by limited stress resistance, thus hindering effective treatment and achieving near-zero liquid discharge. In this review, we systematically examine endogenous strategies, such as microbial mutualism and genetic engineering, alongside exogenous approaches, including functional materials, electrical and magnetic stimulation, and 3D bioprinting, to improve microbial resilience in hypersaline environments. Furthermore, we propose an integrated treatment framework that combines physicochemical and biochemical processes, leveraging biological detoxification and biological desalination to enhance the treatment of HSOW while minimizing environmental impact and carbon emissions. By advancing the understanding of microbial stress adaptation and optimization strategies, this review provides critical insights into the development of sustainable, low-carbon wastewater treatment solutions.

高盐有机废水（HSOW）的可持续处理仍然是工业废水管理中的一个重大挑战，因为传统方法往往无法满足严格的排放标准和低碳可持续发展目标。耐盐和嗜盐微生物菌株提供了有前途的解决方案，但它们的应用受到有限的抗逆性的阻碍，从而阻碍了有效的处理和实现接近零的液体排放。在这篇综述中，我们系统地研究了内源性策略，如微生物共生和基因工程，以及外源性方法，包括功能材料，电和磁刺激，以及3D生物打印，以提高高盐环境下微生物的恢复能力。此外，我们提出了一种综合处理框架，结合物理化学和生物化学过程，利用生物解毒和生物脱盐来加强对HSOW的处理，同时最大限度地减少对环境的影响和碳排放。通过促进对微生物胁迫适应和优化策略的理解，本综述为可持续、低碳废水处理解决方案的发展提供了重要见解。

Cities play a pivotal role in global decarbonization, acting as a critical driver of carbon emissions. Accurately allocating carbon mitigation responsibility (CMR) is essential for designing effective and equitable climate policies. How cities manage carbon leakage across boundaries through supply chains and implement plan of increasing forest carbon sinks are important components for designing a fair and inclusive CMR. However, the combined impact of trade-related carbon leakage and forest carbon sinks on CMR allocation remains poorly understood. Here, we develop an integrated CMR allocation framework that accounts for both carbon leakage and variation of forest carbon offsets. When applied to the cities within the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area in China, it becomes evident that the inclusion of carbon leakage results in substantial alterations in mitigation quotas. Adjustments are observed to vary between ±10 % and 50 % across these cities from 2005 to 2020, a trend that is anticipated to continue until 2035. The redistribution of outsourced emissions through supply chains alleviates the mitigation burden on producer cities by 20–30 %. Additionally, accounting for carbon sinks substantially influences CMR allocation, particularly in forest-rich cities, which may see their carbon budgets increase by up to 10 %. Under an enhanced climate policy scenario, the growth rate of total mitigation quotas from 2025 to 2035 is projected to decrease by 40 % compared to a business-as-usual trajectory, reducing the burden on major producer cities. Our proposed CMR framework provides a robust basis for incentivizing coordinated mitigation efforts, promoting decarbonization in supply chains and enhancement of urban carbon sink capacities.

城市在全球脱碳中发挥着关键作用，是碳排放的关键驱动因素。准确分配碳减排责任（CMR）对于设计有效和公平的气候政策至关重要。城市如何通过供应链管理跨界碳泄漏，实施增加森林碳汇的计划，是设计公平、包容的碳排放管理体系的重要组成部分。然而，与贸易有关的碳泄漏和森林碳汇对CMR分配的综合影响仍然知之甚少。在这里，我们开发了一个综合的CMR分配框架，该框架考虑了碳泄漏和森林碳抵消的变化。当应用于中国粤港澳大湾区内的城市时，很明显，碳泄漏的纳入导致了减排配额的实质性变化。从2005年到2020年，这些城市的调整幅度在±10%到50%之间，预计这一趋势将持续到2035年。通过供应链重新分配外包排放，可将生产城市的减排负担减轻20 - 30%。此外，考虑碳汇对CMR分配产生重大影响，特别是在森林资源丰富的城市，这些城市的碳预算可能会增加10%。在强化的气候政策情景下，预计2025年至2035年的总缓解配额增长率将比一切照旧的轨迹下降40%，从而减轻主要生产城市的负担。我们提出的CMR框架为激励协调的减缓努力、促进供应链脱碳和增强城市碳汇能力提供了坚实的基础。

Precise identification and categorization of building materials are essential for informing strategies related to embodied carbon reduction, building retrofitting, and circularity in urban environments. However, existing building material databases are typically limited to individual projects or specific geographic areas, offering only approximate assessments. Acquiring large-scale and precise material data is hindered by inadequate records and financial constraints. Here, we introduce a novel automated framework that harnesses recent advances in sensing technology and deep learning to identify roof and facade materials using remote sensing data and Google Street View imagery. The model was initially trained and validated on Odense's comprehensive dataset and then extended to characterize building materials across Danish urban landscapes, including Copenhagen, Aarhus, and Aalborg. Our approach demonstrates the model's scalability and adaptability to different geographic contexts and architectural styles, providing high-resolution insights into material distribution across diverse building types and cities. These findings are pivotal for informing sustainable urban planning, revising building codes to lower carbon emissions, and optimizing retrofitting efforts to meet contemporary standards for energy efficiency and emission reductions.

建筑材料的精确识别和分类对于城市环境中碳减排、建筑改造和循环相关的策略至关重要。然而，现有的建筑材料数据库通常仅限于个别项目或特定的地理区域，只能提供大致的评估。不充分的记录和财政限制阻碍了获取大规模和精确的材料数据。在这里，我们介绍了一个新的自动化框架，利用遥感数据和谷歌街景图像，利用最新的传感技术和深度学习来识别屋顶和立面材料。该模型最初在欧登塞的综合数据集上进行了训练和验证，然后扩展到丹麦城市景观的建筑材料特征，包括哥本哈根、奥胡斯和奥尔堡。我们的方法展示了模型的可扩展性和对不同地理环境和建筑风格的适应性，为不同建筑类型和城市的材料分布提供了高分辨率的见解。这些发现对于为可持续城市规划提供信息、修订建筑规范以降低碳排放、优化改造工作以满足当代能效和减排标准至关重要。

Ground-level ozone concentrations rebounded significantly across China in 2022, challenging air quality management and public health. Identifying the drivers of this rebound is crucial for designing effective mitigation strategies. Commonly used methods, such as chemical transport models and machine learning, provide valuable insights but face limitations—chemical transport models are computationally intensive, while machine learning often fails to address confounding factors or establish causality. Here we show that elevated temperatures and increased solar radiation, as primary meteorological drivers, collectively account for 57 % of the total ozone increase, based on an integrated analysis of ground-based monitoring data, satellite observations, and meteorological reanalysis information using explainable machine learning and causal inference techniques. Compared to the year 2021, 90 % of the stations reported an increase in the Formaldehyde to Nitrogen ratio, implying a growing sensitivity of ozone formation to nitrogen oxide levels. These findings highlight the significant causal role of meteorological changes in the ozone rebound, urging the adoption of targeted ozone mitigation strategies under climate warming, particularly through varied regional strategies that consider existing anthropogenic emission levels and the prospective increase in biogenic volatile organic compounds.

2022年，中国地面臭氧浓度大幅回升，对空气质量管理和公众健康构成挑战。确定这种反弹的驱动因素对于设计有效的缓解战略至关重要。常用的方法，如化学运输模型和机器学习，提供了有价值的见解，但面临局限性-化学运输模型是计算密集型的，而机器学习通常无法解决混淆因素或建立因果关系。通过使用可解释的机器学习和因果推理技术对地面监测数据、卫星观测和气象再分析信息进行综合分析，我们发现，气温升高和太阳辐射增加作为主要的气象驱动因素，共同占臭氧增加总量的57%。与2021年相比，90%的监测站报告甲醛与氮的比率增加，这意味着臭氧形成对氮氧化物水平的敏感性越来越高。这些发现强调了气象变化在臭氧反弹中的重要因果作用，敦促在气候变暖的情况下采取有针对性的臭氧减缓战略，特别是通过考虑现有人为排放水平和生物源性挥发性有机化合物预期增加的各种区域战略。这种对空气污染动力学因果关系的识别可以支持数据驱动和准确的决策。

The global production and use of antimicrobial chemicals surged during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, yet their developmental toxicity in aquatic organisms at environmentally relevant concentrations remains poorly understood. Here, we investigate and compare the developmental effects of two restricted antimicrobial chemicals—triclosan (TCS) and triclocarban (TCC)—and three alternative antimicrobials—benzalkonium chloride (BAC), benzethonium chloride (BEC), and chloroxylenol (CX)—on zebrafish embryos (Danio rerio) at concentrations of 0.4, 4, and 40 μg L⁻¹. We find that BAC induces the most severe reduction in hatching rates, followed by TCS, TCC, BEC, and CX. BAC also exhibits the strongest inhibition of heart rate, with toxicity levels comparable to those of TCS and TCC. All tested chemicals, except CX, cause significant teratogenic effects. Transcriptomic analysis reveals substantial disruptions in immune-related coagulation cascades and mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathways. Further validation via protein-protein interaction network analysis and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction confirms that altered expression of key hub genes in these pathways impacts bone and heart development, as well as immune system function, potentially driving developmental toxicity. This study provides the first systematic comparison of developmental toxicity among currently used antimicrobials at environmentally relevant concentrations, revealing that the alternative antimicrobial BAC poses greater developmental risks than the banned TCS and TCC. These findings raise concerns about the safety of BAC as a widespread substitute and highlight the necessity for more rigorous environmental risk assessments of alternative antimicrobials before their large-scale application.

在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间和之后，全球抗微生物化学品的生产和使用激增，但它们在环境相关浓度下对水生生物的发育毒性仍知之甚少。在这里，我们研究并比较了两种限制性抗菌剂三氯生（TCS）和三氯卡班（TCC）以及三种替代抗菌剂苯扎氯铵（BAC）、苯扎氯铵（BEC）和氯二酚（CX）在0.4、4和40 μg L−1浓度下对斑马鱼胚胎（Danio rerio）的发育影响。我们发现BAC诱导孵化率降低最严重，其次是TCS， TCC， BEC和CX。BAC对心率的抑制作用也最强，毒性水平与TCS和TCC相当。除CX外，所有测试的化学物质都有显著的致畸作用。转录组学分析揭示了免疫相关凝血级联和丝裂原激活的蛋白激酶信号通路的实质性破坏。通过蛋白质-蛋白质相互作用网络分析和实时定量聚合酶链反应进一步验证，这些途径中关键枢纽基因表达的改变会影响骨骼和心脏发育，以及免疫系统功能，潜在地驱动发育毒性。本研究首次系统比较了当前使用的抗菌剂在环境相关浓度下的发育毒性，揭示了替代抗菌剂BAC比禁用的TCS和TCC具有更大的发育风险。这些发现引起了人们对BAC作为广泛替代品的安全性的关注，并强调了在大规模应用替代抗菌剂之前对其进行更严格的环境风险评估的必要性。

Biophotovoltaics (BPV) represents an innovative biohybrid technology that couples electrochemistry with oxygenic photosynthetic microbes to harness solar energy and convert it into electricity. Central to BPV systems is the ability of microbes to perform extracellular electron transfer (EET), utilizing an anode as an external electron sink. This process simultaneously serves as an electron sink and enhances the efficiency of water photolysis compared to conventional electrochemical water splitting. However, optimizing BPV systems has been hindered by a limited understanding of EET pathways and their impacts on cellular physiology. Here we show photosynthetic electron flows in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 cultivated in a ferricyanide-mediated BPV system. By monitoring carbon fixation rates and photosynthetic oxygen exchange, we reveal that EET does not significantly affect cell growth, respiration, carbon fixation, or photosystem II efficiency. However, EET competes for electrons with the flavodiiron protein flv1/3, influencing Mehler-like reactions. Our findings suggest that the ferricyanide mediator facilitates photosynthetic electron extraction from ferredoxins downstream of photosystem I. Additionally, the mediator induces a more reduced plastoquinone pool, an effect independent of EET. At very high ferricyanide concentrations, the electron transport chain exhibits responses resembling the impact of trace cyanide. These insights provide a molecular-level understanding of EET pathways in Synechocystis within BPV systems, offering a foundation for the future refinement of BPV technologies.

生物光伏（BPV）是一种创新的生物混合技术，它将电化学与含氧光合微生物结合起来，利用太阳能并将其转化为电能。BPV系统的核心是微生物进行细胞外电子转移（EET）的能力，利用阳极作为外部电子汇。与传统的电化学水分解相比，该过程同时充当电子汇，提高了水光解的效率。然而，由于对EET通路及其对细胞生理的影响了解有限，BPV系统的优化一直受到阻碍。在这里，我们展示了在铁氰化物介导的BPV系统中培养的Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803的光合电子流。通过监测固碳速率和光合氧交换，我们发现EET对细胞生长、呼吸、固碳或光系统II效率没有显著影响。然而，EET与黄二铁蛋白flv1/3竞争电子，影响了mehler样反应。我们的研究结果表明，铁氰化物介质促进了光系统i下游铁氧化还毒素的光合电子提取。此外，该介质诱导了一个更减少的质体醌池，这是一个独立于EET的效应。在非常高的铁氰化物浓度下，电子传递链表现出类似于微量氰化物影响的反应。这些见解提供了对BPV系统中协同藻EET通路的分子水平理解，为未来BPV技术的改进提供了基础。
