“…On the other hand, these organic substances are easily washed away into the water bodies, which can be a factor leading to high BOD concentrations in water in the AH and PMC land use types. Compared with the previous study, it was clearly shown that BOD tended to increase while COD tended to decrease [24], indicating the organic matters in the water bodies in the study area as susceptible to biodegradation [37,38]. In addition, the ratio of BOD/COD was calculated to consider the degree of biodegradation and can be viewed as an indicator of pollution time.…”

“…The results showed that the ratio value ranged from 0.06 to 0.17 in the dry season and from 0.16 to 0.46 in the rainy season, indicating that the possibility of organic pollutant decomposition in the rainy season was higher than that in the dry season. If this ratio was greater than 0.5, the water was highly biodegradable and can be an effective biological treatment (values between 0.3 and 0.5 (slow biodegradable water) and <0.3 (very slow biodegradable) [38]. Therefore, it can be seen that the biodegradability in the water in the study areas was slow, especially in the dry season, where this process may not take place.…”

This study was conducted to assess the water quality affected by different land use patterns in U Minh Ha National Park, Ca Mau, Vietnam. This study determined the water quality characteristics in three land use types (Acacia hybrid, planted melaleuca cajuputi, and natural melaleuca cajuputi) at different plant ages on two acid sulfate soil layers in the rainy season (8/2018) and dry season (4/2019) using nine water quality parameters. Multivariate statistical analyses were applied to evaluate the correlation and spatial and temporal variations in the water quality. The study results showed that the water quality in S-ASS was more polluted than that in D-ASS, characterized by low pH; the EC, organic matters (BOD and COD), nutrients (N-NH4+ and N-NO3−), and metal ions (Al3+ and Fe3+) were high; and the EC, BOD, COD, Al3+, and N-NO3− were determined high in D-ASS. The NMC area was noted to have high concentrations of organic matters and nutrients, while the factors specific to acidic soil were found to be higher in the AH and PMC areas. The water quality in the rainy season tended to be more polluted than that in the dry season. The cluster analysis grouped the land use patterns on S-ASS and D-ASS in both seasons into four groups, with a clear similarity between the wet and dry seasons in the areas at various plant ages. The seasonal variations of the water quality of the three land use types were distinguished by the main parameters, including pH, EC, BOD, N-NO3−, and Al3+ (S-ASS) and EC, BOD, N-NO3−, N-NH4+, and Fe3+ (D-ASS). Therefore, there is a need for better water management measures in the rainy season and focus on the key parameters causing water quality variations in each area. The findings in this study provided important information for the future water quality monitoring for both agricultural production and conservation in the national park.

“…Humans production and life discharge heavy metals ( Li et al, 2021 ), pesticides and nutrient salts ( Sremacki et al, 2020 ; Ding et al, 2021 ) into freshwater wetland ecosystems, directly and indirectly leading to changes in water quality and soil physicochemical properties of wetlands, which in turn cause wetland degradation ( Wei et al, 2019 ). Relevant studies have shown that increased loading of nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus in water will deteriorate water quality, and cause eutrophication of the water body, leading to significant changes in the structure and function of wetland ecosystems ( Khan and Ansari, 2005 ; Bano et al, 2022 ).…”

Freshwater wetlands are the wetland ecosystems surrounded by freshwater, which are at the interface of terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems, and are rich in ecological composition and function. Biodiversity in freshwater wetlands plays a key role in maintaining the stability of their habitat functions. Due to anthropogenic interference and global change, the biodiversity of freshwater wetlands decreases, which in turn destroys the habitat function of freshwater wetlands and leads to serious degradation of wetlands. An in-depth understanding of the effects of biodiversity on the stability of habitat function and its regulation in freshwater wetlands is crucial for wetland conservation. Therefore, this paper reviews the environmental drivers of habitat function stability in freshwater wetlands, explores the effects of plant diversity and microbial diversity on habitat function stability, reveals the impacts and mechanisms of habitat changes on biodiversity, and further proposes an outlook for freshwater wetland research. This paper provides an important reference for freshwater wetland conservation and its habitat function enhancement.

“…Small water bodies have not been studied systematically in the Western Balkans; nevertheless, specific research topics were related to a specific issue or group of organisms/taxa/species. A survey of ponds and their loss in the Žumberak-Samoborsko gorje Nature Park was conducted by Hutinec and Struna [19], while Sremački et al [20] conducted environmental monitoring and assessment of protected wetland and lake water quality in Croatia and Serbia.

Pollution of Small Lakes and Ponds of the Western Balkans—Assessment of Levels of Potentially Toxic Elements

Small lakes and ponds are among the most sensitive ecosystems, vulnerable to changes that have little or no effect on larger water bodies. Therefore this topic should be given more attention around the world. Anthropogenic impacts, which have been extensively researched in larger water bodies, have been barely examined in small lakes and ponds. Considering that most of the studies are related to lakes bigger than 50 ha, a significant knowledge gap was left regarding small lakes and ponds. The same situation is in the Western Balkans, where studies related to pollutants in small lakes and ponds are limited. This chapter presents an overview of studies related to the contamination of small lakes and ponds of the Western Balkans, with special reference to pollution with potentially toxic elements PTEs. Since massive fish mortality happened several times, an assessment of PTEs in fish species Carassius gibelio from small Aleksandrovac Lake in Serbia is presented. The results indicate that fish muscle (meat) was exposed to the lower pressure of PTEs pollution than liver and gills, suggesting that, despite massive fish mortality, there was no risk for human health by fish consumption.Keywords Small water bodies • Fish • Human health risk • Aleksandrovac Lake IntroductionSmall water bodies, including ponds and small lakes, are freshwater ecosystems of high ecological relevance [1]. They occur in practically all terrestrial environments,
