The Dongyu River is a national site for monitoring the inflow of Nansi Lake, located in the southwest of Shandong Province, China. Water quality has a significant impact on the safety of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project. To investigate the water quality of Dongyu River and the estuary area of Nansi Lake, we collected water samples and surface sediments from Dongyu River and the estuary area in May 2019 and analysed the characteristics of the diatom communities and water quality. The results showed that 23026 diatom shells were identified at 15 sampling points in the study area, belonging to 161 species of 23 genera. The dominant diatom taxa were Cyclotella meneghiniana, Fragilaria fasciculata, Fragilaria ulna, Amphora libyca, and Cocconeis placentula. Redundancy analysis explained 43.2% of diatom change information. The Monte Carlo permutation test showed that NH4+-N and DO were significant environmental factors that affected diatom assembly, explaining 34.78% and 8.38% of the diatom variability, respectively. The results of the biological evaluation showed that the water quality of Dongyu River and the estuary area of Nansi Lake were in a light-medium pollution state. The RDA analysis of the diatom community and principal component analysis showed that the water quality of the middle and lower reaches of Dongyu River was poor. In general, the middle and lower reaches of Dongyu River are severely polluted by agricultural non-point sources and controlling the use of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilisers and the emission of nitrogen-containing organic matter can preserve the aquatic water quality of Dongyu River and the water safety of the East Route of the South-to-North Water Transfer Project.

Hydrological fluctuations are key abiotic stresses that influence plant growth and photosynthetic processes of wetland plants. However, the response mechanism of the plant characteristics and photosynthesis of Carex schmidtii, with respect to hydrological fluctuations, are still unclear. Comparative studies of plant size parameters, biomass parameters, and photosynthesis parameters of C. schmidtii under the interactive influence of initial water depth (WD), water-level amplitude (WA), and duration time, were performed. The coupling relationship between any two factors of the plant characteristics of C. schmidtii was also examined. Generally, the results showed that the WD and WA treatments, and the duration time, significantly affected plant size, biomass, and photosynthesis of C. schmidtii. The exception was the effect by the WA on the biomass and the NPQ. Furthermore, the biomass and photosynthesis of C. schmidtii were significantly affected by the interactive effects by WD and WA. The plant size, biomass, and photosynthesis parameters of C. schmidtii first increased and then decreased over time. Larger values of plant size, biomass, and photosynthesis parameters (except for qL and NPQ) were found for the treatment with an initial water depth of 0 cm. As was the situation with WD, the largest values of plant height, chlorophyll content, Fv/Fm, and ΔFv/Fm’ were obtained for a water-level amplitude of 0 cm. Furthermore, the chlorophyll content was positively related to the plant size parameters, Fv/Fm, ΔFv/Fm’, and qL. Except for qL, ΔFv/Fm’ had a significant relationship with all plant factors. Lower water levels and smaller water level changes are more conducive to the growth and photosynthese of C. schmidtii. Plant size, biomass accumulation and photosynthesis of C. schmidtii collectively coped with hydrological fluctuations. The findings have improved understanding of the response of C. schmidtii to hydrological fluctuations. They have thereby provided invaluable information for the restoration, management and conservation of tussock wetlands.

Groundwater discharge into streams influences the biodiversity and health of groundwater-dependent stream ecosystems. These localized upwelling zones may act as biodiversity hotspots, or areas with a heightened amount of endemic species richness and abundance when compared to the surrounding locality. This input water creates environments with unique chemical compositions and water temperatures that serve as ideal habitat for various species within the ecosystem. Although difficult to identify and sample, these underwater groundwater–surface water interaction zones are important for fish spawning, benthic macroinvertebrate biodiversity, microbial communities, and aquatic and riparian vegetation. In this review, we highlight the groundwater characteristics that influence stream biodiversity and community structure. We argue for the importance of increased research on biodiversity indicators of groundwater upwelling zones as well as more public involvement through citizen science practices on the indirect and direct relationships between groundwater and dependent stream ecosystems.
