Spatiotemporal Variations in Socioeconomic and Hydrological Factors Impacting Water Quality in Thailand’s Major Rivers by Khanittha Uthaipan, Zhongwei Yuan, Yangyang Zhao, Wissarut Intararuang, Varintha Vasinamekhin, Chalermrat Sangmanee, Somkiat Khokiattiwong, Minhan Dai

“…Although river discharge overwhelms socioeconomic factors as the primary determinant of the interannual variability in water quality, all water quality parameters showed stronger correlations with socioeconomic factors than with hydrological factors, underscoring the dominant role of local socioeconomic development in shaping the spatial pattern of water quality. These insights can thus inform strategies for sustainable water resource management.…”

Physiological insights into the responses of tea plants to aluminum through an integrated transcriptomic and metabolomic analysis by Xinwan Zhang, Shijie Luo, Xiali Ye, Lin Liu, Xinxin Jia, Deyuan Jiang, Weiwei Wen

“…Compared to 0 mM Al treatment, low Al concentrations (0.4 mM) enhanced root vitality by 8.91%, while higher Al concentrations (10 and 100 mM) reduced root vigor by 19.31% and 76.81%, respectively. In a similar pattern, the electron transfer rate in leaves remained stable under low Al levels but significantly decreased under high Al conditions. …”
