Analysis of contents of heavy metals in wasteland soilThe test results show (Table 5) that the contents of Hg, Cd, As, Pb, Cr, Zn, Ni and Cu in the surface soil within Shigetai Coal Mine vary from 0.043 to 0.255, 0.44 to 2.23, 2.66 to 18.40, 11.80 to 42.80, 40.50 to 118.60, 18.90 to 70.10, 4.31 to 28.10, 4.96 to 46.25 mg/kg, respectively; the average contents of Hg, Cd, As, Pb, Cr, Zn, Ni and Cu are 0.128, 1.03, 4.73, 23.08, 76.22, 46.94, 16.11 and 12.10 mg/kg, respectively. The average contents of Hg, Cd, Pb and Cr in soil within the research area are 2.03, 1.36, 1.11 and 1.23 times of the soil background values in Shaanxi Province, respectively. The average contents of As, Zn and Cu are lower than the soil background value in Shaanxi Province, but the maximum contents of these three elements are 1.65, 1.01 and 2.16 times of the soil background values in Shaanxi Province, respectively. It is reported that the average concentration of lead in agricultural soil affected by coal mines is relatively high (433 mg kg−1)38. Lead is usually related to minerals in coal and occurs mainly in the form of sulfide such as PbS and PbSe39. In addition, aluminosilicate and carbonate also contain lead40. Chromium is a non-volatile element, which is related to aluminosilicate minerals41. In the mining process, chromium may be accumulated in coal, gangue or other tailings, and then enter the soil or water body through rain leaching42.Table 5 Statistics of contents of heavy metals in wasteland soil (n = 79).Full size tableThe coefficient of variation (CV) of Hg and Cd contents in soil within the research area is 0.050 and 0.37, respectively, with moderate variation, indicating that the content of these two heavy metals is less affected by the external factors; the coefficient of variation (CV) of As, Pb, Cr, Zn, Ni and Cu contents is 2.81, 7.46, 18.00, 13.51, 5.44 and 5.64, respectively, with strong variation (CV  > 0.50)43, indicating that the content of these eight heavy metals may be affected by some local pollution sources. The skewness coefficient (SK) ranges from − 3 to 3, and the larger its absolute value, the greater its skewness. When SK  > 0, it is positive skewness; when SK  More

Physico-chemical characterization of the Sado EstuaryThe seasonal cycle of water temperature in the Sado Estuary in 2018 and 2019, showed the expected pattern, with maxima temperature observed in summer and minima in winter (Fig. 2A). During summer, warmer temperatures were found in the inner regions of the estuary (AC and MC) and lower temperatures near the mouth of the estuary (EM). During winter, there was an inversion of the pattern, with the coolest waters recorded inside the estuary (Fig. 2A). Near the estuary mouth (EM), salinities recorded were always between 35 and 36 (Fig. 2B). In the inner stations, higher salinities ( > 30) were found during summer/early-autumn of 2018 and late-spring/summer of 2019. Maxima salinities ( > 36) were recorded in the summer of 2019 (Fig. 2B). The lowest salinities were always found in the upper region (AC), reaching a minimum of 12 in March 2018 (Fig. 2B).Figure 2Discrete time series of physico-chemical variables obtained in the Sado Estuary during sampling surveys. (A)—Water temperature (°C); (B)—Salinity; (C)—Turbidity (NTU); (D)—Coloured dissolved organic matter at 443 nm (CDOM, m−1); (E)—pH; (F)—Dissolved oxygen (DO, mg L−1); (G)—Dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN, µmol L−1); (H)—Phosphate (PO43−, µmol L−1); and (I) –Silicate (Si(OH)4, µmol L−1).Full size imageThe water turbidity was substantially higher in AC, reaching values above 10 NTU in the summer of 2018 and since spring of 2019, with a maximum of 40 NTU recorded in March 2018 (Fig. 2C). The turbidity values and seasonal pattern for stations MC and MR were similar, with a maximum of 10 NTU recorded in MR during spring of 2018 (Fig. 2C). Lower turbidity was observed during winter in stations AC, MC, and MR (Fig. 2C). Water turbidity was always lower than 1.5 NTU at EM (Fig. 2C). The CDOM was higher in the upper region and lower in the downstream area (Fig. 2D). At AC, a CDOM value  10 µmol L−1) (Fig. 2G).

Scale bars: 0.1 mm (A–F).Full size imageMaterialNymph, 5th instar, MAIG 6688 (BUB 1799), deposited in Museum of Amber Inclusions (MAIG), University of Gdańsk, Poland. Piece of amber 13 × 6 × 2 mm, cut from larger lump, polished flat on one side, more convex on the other.Diagnostic charactersThe nymph of Megalophthallidion gen. nov. is similar in general body shape to the only known fossil protopsyllidioidean nymph described from Lower Cretaceous Lebanese amber—Talaya batraba Drohojowska et Szwedo, 2013.
