Spatio-temporal changes in water-related ecosystem services provision and trade-offs with food production by Shiliang, Yang

“…The results showed that: 1) food production increased from 0.497×108tons to 0.798×108tons despite area of cultivated land decreasing from 23.61×104km2 to 23.40×104km2 during the study period (2000–2015). 2) Water yield and soil retention both showed a downward trend, while nitrogen and phosphorus exports showed an increasing trend, in 2000–2015.3) Food production showed a trade-off relationship with soil retention and water yield, but a synergistic relationship with nitrogen and phosphorus export. …”

Fish communities and environmental variables during dry season in Pampanga estuary (Philippines) by Abroguena, Jeff Bogart R.

“…Bottom salinity was used to establish the sampling stations, grouped into 3 zones (lower 1–3, middle 4–6, upper 7–9). Sampling of fish, using otter trawl, and measurement of environmental variables were done under four tidal conditions at each station (neap low and high tide; spring low and high tide). …”
