Spatio-temporal dynamics, drivers and potential sources of heavy metal pollution in riparian soils along a 600 kilometre stream gradient in Central China.
TL;DR: A nine-year study across a 600 km stream gradient along the Yangtze river indicates that the prioritization of As and Pb pollution and control of agricultural runoff will play an important role in the ecological protection in the TGR's riparian ecosystems.

Shifts in characteristics of the plant-soil system associated with flooding and revegetation in the riparian zone of Three Gorges Reservoir, China
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of disruptions to natural flooding regime on basic soil properties, soil nutrient and heavy metal levels, and key characteristics of riparian plant and soil microbial communities were evaluated.

Divergent effects of hydrological alteration and nutrient addition on greenhouse gas emissions in the water level fluctuation zone of the Three Gorges Reservoir, China.
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of hydrological alterations (continuous flooding (CF), periodic flooding (PF), and no flooding (NF)) and nutrient addition (N addition (urea, 100 kg N ha−1 y−1), P addition (P2O5, 20 kg ha− 1y−1) on three major GHGs including carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O) fluxes as well as the underlying mechanisms were investigated.

Hydrologic pulsing affects denitrification rates and denitrifier communities in a revegetated riparian ecotone
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated denitrification rate and denitrifier community structure and their abundance in different hydrological pulsing phases and vegetation types (tree, shrub, and herb) in the water-level-fluctuate-zone of the Three Gorges Reservoir, China.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the control of the nutrient release in the middle reaches and lower elevations where fine particles tend to accumulate, will be essential for maintaining the health of aquatic and riparian ecosystems upstream of the TGR.
