The potential release of toxic metals such as Li, Ni, and Co into aquatic environments is increasing due to the growth of the lithium-ion battery (LIB) industry and the expansion of recycling processes. In this study, the 24-h acute toxicity of Li, Ni, and Co was evaluated in both single-metal exposures and binary mixture using Daphnia magna. Single-metal toxicity showed the highest toxicity for Co, followed by Li and Ni. Mixture toxicity results indicated antagonistic interactions in the Li-Ni and Li-Co combinations, whereas a strong toxicity enhancement was observed for the Ni-Co combination. Nonlinear interaction patterns dependent on fixed concentrations and concentration ratios were also identified. These findings highlight the limitations of simple additivity assumptions and provide fundamental data for mixture-based ecological risk assessment related to LIB recycling activities.

Understanding the distinct hydro-biogeochemical dynamics of lotic and lentic systems is crucial for integrated watershed management, particularly in regions with complex land-use patterns. This study investigated the spatiotemporal water quality variations in Gunsan City, Republic of Korea. Monthly monitoring was conducted at 17 sites (8 rivers and 9 reservoirs) from May 2024 to May 2025 to analyze 11 physicochemical parameters. Multivariate statistical approaches, including Factor Analysis of Mixed Data and K-means clustering, were employed to elucidate the interactions between water body types and seasonal factors. Factor analysis identified two primary gradients explaining 42.7% of the total variance: anthropogenic nutrient loading (Axis 1) and seasonal metabolic-physical drivers (Axis 2). The study revealed distinct spatial heterogeneity; rivers exhibited significantly higher electrical conductivity and nutrient concentrations (e.g., TN, TP) compared to reservoirs, clustering into a high-pollution group driven by point and non-point sources. Seasonally, rivers showed a marked concentration effect during the dry winter season due to reduced base flow, whereas reservoirs maintained relatively stable water quality attributed to the dilution capacity of larger water volumes. Shallow reservoirs like Backseokje exhibited characteristic water quality pattern, such as hypoxia related to organic matter decomposition and high vegetation cover. These findings suggest that a differentiated management approach is essential: mitigating point-source and non-point-source pollution and securing base flow for rivers during dry seasons, while regulating internal biogeochemical processes and inflows for reservoirs.

This study investigates the internal structure of the Habitat and Riparian Health Index (HRI) by identifying conditional dependencies among its components and the mechanisms that form grade boundaries, rather than treating HRI as a simple arithmetic sum. Using the 2024 national river assessment dataset, the analysis combined bootstrap-supported Bayesian Networks for stable dependency inference with classification decision trees for explicit grading rules and threshold identification. A multi-criterion priority scheme integrating network centrality, contribution to total-score variability, and classification contribution was also applied to derive management priorities within and across basins. Across all basins and analytical perspectives, Flow Velocity Diversity consistently emerged as the most influential component. It occupied the central position in the dependency structure and accounted for the largest share of variability in the composite score, indicating that it operates as a system-level outcome in which channel morphology, bed condition, and anthropogenic constraints converge. The grading mechanism was strongly asymmetric. Deficiencies in riverbank protection functioned as a dominant trigger for rapid grade deterioration, whereas attainment of the highest grade required a conjunctive and non-linear pathway in which sufficient flow heterogeneity was accompanied by the sequential resolution of structural constraints, particularly those associated with transverse structures and embankments. Basin-level comparisons further showed that network structures were not interchangeable, with the Nakdong River basin exhibiting the most distinct configuration and basinspecific priority patterns. These results imply that management should separate strategies aimed at preventing degradation through bottleneck control from strategies aimed at achieving top-tier conditions through coordinated, multi-component interventions.

This study investigated the spatiotemporal variation of fish larvae assemblages and their relationships with environmental factors in the coastal waters of Saryang and Yokji Islands, Korea, from June 2024 to April 2025. During the study period, surface water temperature ranged from 6.1 to 30.3°C and salinity ranged from 28.25 to 33.96 psu, showing clear seasonal variability. A total of 23 fish larvae taxa belonging to 5 orders and 14 families were identified. Dominant taxa included Parablennius yatabei, Engraulis japonicus, Sebastiscus marmoratus, and Hexagrammos agrammus. Larval abundance ranged from 15 to 1,137 ind. 1,000 m-3, with the highest density and species diversity observed in early summer. Cluster analysis revealed three seasonal assemblages: summer-autumn, winter, and winter-spring groups. Redundancy analysis (RDA) indicated that temperature, salinity, and several copepod taxa were associated with fish larvae distribution, while the cumulative variance explained by the first two axes was 23.9%. These results suggest that fish larvae assemblages in the Saryang and Yokji Islands coastal area are partly related to seasonal environmental gradients and zooplankton composition, but are also influenced by multiple factors including hydrodynamic transport and coastal physical structures. This study provides baseline ecological information on seasonal fish larvae assemblages in a multiisland coastal system and highlights the ecological importance of this area as a spawning and nursery ground for coastal fish populations.
