Abstract
En 中文
Traditional river health assessment relies on limited water quality indices and representative organism activity, but does not comprehensively obtain biotic and abiotic information of the ecosystem. Here, we propose a new approach to evaluate the ecological and health risks of river aquatic ecosystems. First, detailed physicochemical and biological characterization of a river ecosystem can be obtained through pollutant determination (especially emerging pollutants) and DNA/RNA sequencing. Second, supervised machine leaming can be applied to perform classification analysis of characterization data and ascertain river ecosystem ecology and health. Our proposed methodology transforms river ecosystem health assessment and can be applied in river management.(c) 2023 The Research Center for Eco-Environmental Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
