摘要: Abstract While it is widely accepted that the magnitude of river water quality degradation depends upon proportion human interventions, overall changes are ultimately consequence interconnected biogeochemical processes with poorly understood role ecosystem feedbacks. Here, we conducted in situ and incubation experiments, considering a 620 km Ganga River main stem, two tributaries point source downstream locations for trajectory studies to analyze human-driven feedback associated functioning its tributaries. The stem coupled analyses show benthic hypoxia/anoxia resulting from intensive releases generates positive feedbacks (sediment-P –metal release) exacerbate We found 1.9 4.6 times higher rates sediment-P release about 1.1 3.7 rate sediment-metal at sites DOsw
