Decoding the impact of environmental shifts on snail density dynamics in the Yangtze River basin: a 26-year study
The TGD lowered the water level and flooding duration, which were not conducive to snail population growth. However, over time, the inhibitory effect of the TGD on snails may have been weakening, especially in areas far from the TGD. In recent years, the rebound of snail density may have been related to the rise in water levels and the change in the microenvironment. Establishing an efficient monitoring and response system is crucial for precisely controlling snails.
