Spectral classification of water masses under the influence of the Amazon River plume
Gustavo Souto Fontes Molleri, Milton Kampel, Evlyn Márcia Leão de Moraes Novo
2010, (3): 1-8. doi: 10.1007/s13131-010-0031-1

Invading cord grass vegetation changes analyzed from Landsat-TM imageries: a case study from the Wanggang area, Jiangsu coast, eastern China
LI Jing, GAO Shu, WANG Yaping
2010, (3): 26-37. doi: 10.1007/s13131-010-0034-y
Abstract:
Cord grass colonization on the Jiangsu coast, eastern China, modifies the native salt marshes in terms of ecosystem structure. The Landsat TM images from 1992 to 2003 were analyzed to identify salt-marsh vegetation distribution patterns and their cha...
Variations in paleoproductivity and the environmental implications over the past six decades in the Changjiang Estuary

2010, (3): 38-45. doi: 10.1007/s13131-010-0035-x
Abstract:
Total organic carbon and organic carbon stable isotope, biogenic silica, chlorin were measured from a high resolution sediment core to indicate the variation in paleoproductivity and the environmental implications over the past decades (1942 to 1997)...
Paleoenvironmental records from the northern South China Sea since the Last Glacial Maximum
GE Qian, CHU Fengyou, XUE Zuo, LIU J Paul, DU Yuansheng, FANG Yinxia
2010, (3): 46-62. doi: 10.1007/s13131-010-0036-9
Abstract:
Core ZHS-176 contains the paleoenvironmental records from the northern South China Sea (NSCS) since the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). A coupled approach based on clay mineral assemblages, planktonic foraminiferal oxygen and carbon isotopes, and calcium...
Cloning and mRNA expression of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) gene of large yellow croaker (Pseudosciaena crocea)
MAO Yong, XU Bing, SU Yongquan, ZHANG Zhiwen, DING Shaoxiong, WANG Ding, WANG Jun
2010, (3): 63-73. doi: 10.1007/s13131-010-0037-8
Abstract:
Mammalian macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) plays an important role as an indispensable mediator in the pathogenesis of inflammatory disease like septicemia, but little is known about the role of MIF homologue in fish septicemia. The autho...
Temporal species distributions of planktonic protist communities in semi-enclosed mariculture waters and responses to environmental stress
XU Henglong, ZHU Mingzhuang, JIANG Yong, AL-RASHEID Khaled A S
2010, (3): 74-83. doi: 10.1007/s13131-010-0038-7
Abstract:
In order to evaluate the relationships between temporal species succession of planktonic protists and physical-chemical parameters in semi-enclosed mariculture waters, species distributions in response to environmental stress were investigated in a s...
