To explore the #AdaptiveStrategies of the clonal plant #PhragmitesAustralis in #HeterogeneousSaltHabitats, Bo Guan et al. conducted a #PotControlExperiment using P. australis and #SuaedaSalsa from the #YellowRiverDelta, assessed the effects of #SaltHeterogeneity, #ClonalIntegration and #InterspecificCompetition on the morphological and physiological traits of P. australis.

#RiverDeltas are hot spots of #BiogeochemicalCycling. Understanding sources and driving factors of #DissolvedOrganicMatter (DOM) in river deltas is important for evaluating the role of river deltas in regulating #GlobalCarbonFlux. Yuan Cui et al. analyzed the #SpectroscopicProperties of soil DOM in both freshwater and tidal areas of the #YellowRiverDelta.

Lumeng Xie et al. clarified and quantified the influence of the soil macropores volume on the #VerticalSoil #HydrodynamicProcess mechanically and statistically by taking the form of a case study in #YellowRiverDelta.
