Profiling of Sediment Microbial Community in Dongting Lake before and after Impoundment of the Three Gorges Dam
The sediment microbial community in downstream-linked lakes can be affected by the operation of large-scale water conservancy projects. The present study determined Illumina reads (16S rRNA gene amplicons) to analyze and compare the bacterial communities from sediments in Dongting Lake (China) before and after impoundment of the Three Gorges Dam (TGD), the largest hydroelectric project in the w...
متن کاملAssessment of the Hydro-Ecological Impacts of the Three Gorges Dam on China's Largest Freshwater Lake
The Three Gorges Dam (TGD) has received increasing attention with respect to its potential effects on downstream hydro-ecosystems. Poyang Lake is the largest freshwater lake downstream of the TGD, and it is not immune to these impacts. Here, we combine hydrological observations, remote sensing, a geographic information system (GIS), and landscape ecology technology to investigate the variabilit...
متن کاملThree-Gorges Dam: risk to ancient fish.
THE HUGE THREE-GORGES DAM (TGD) OF THE Yangtze River is going to demonstrate the mighty power of humanity to change and fragment an area of about 58,000 km2 with the formation of a huge reservoir of 1080 km2. It is expected to exert disastrous influences on many terrestrial plants and animals, as discussed by J. Wu et al. in their Policy Forum “Three-Gorges Dam— experiment in habitat fragmentat...
متن کاملThe Three Gorges Dam: an ecological perspective
development throughout the world for thousands of years, providing water, controlling floods, irrigating crops, facilitating navigation, creating recreational opportunities, and generating motive power and electricity. By the end of the 20th century, about 45 000 large dams (>15 m in height) and an estimated 800 000 small dams had been built worldwide (WCD 2000), obstructing over 65% of fresh w...
متن کاملLittle impact of the Three Gorges Dam on recent decadal lake decline across Chinas Yangtze Plain
The ubiquitous lakes across China’s Yangtze Plain (YP) are indispensable freshwater resources sustaining ecosystems and socioeconomics for nearly half a billion people. Our recent survey revealed a widespread net decline in the total YP lake inundation area during 2000–2011 (a cumulative decrease of 10%), yet its mechanism remained contentious. Here we uncover the impacts of climate variability...
