In the study "Distribution, fate and ecological toxicity of some heavy metals in sediment: A case study from Day river downstream, Vietnam" the 50 surface sediment samples were collected along Day River downstream in July 2018 and January 2019 (25 sampling sites) to clarify the status, movement and potential risk of some heavy metals (Cr, Pb, Cu, Cd and Hg). The receptor model of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was applied to track the source types of these metals.

Green Infrastructure Neighbourhood Ecosystem Services (GINES) is derived from Tables [D] and [E]. It is an over-arching indicator which assumes a direct relationship between ecosystem health and the availability of regulating and cultural ecosystem services. Its calculation takes into account the fact that landscape artificial intensity reduces the supply of green infrastructure services and, at the same time, increases the number of potential beneficiaries (because of neighbourhood or easier access by transport infrastructures).

The fishery of the Mekong River is one of the largest and most significant in the world, and most of the production is based on migratory river fishes. An earlier report provided an overview of the general patterns of fish migrations and their significance for management. This complementary report provides more detailed information on 40 key species which are significant in the Mekong River fishery. For each species we provide notes on distribution, feeding, size, population structure, critical habitats, life cycle and its importance in fisheries.
