Abstract:
... Knowing the effluent quality of treatment systems in advance to enable the design of treatment systems that comply with environmental standards is a realistic strategy. This study aims to develop machine learning - based predictive models for designing the subsurface constructed wetlands (SCW). Data from the SCW literature during the period of 2009–2020 included 618 sets and 10 features. Five algo ...

Abstract:
... In this study, start-up strategies to develop conventional aerobic granular sludge (AGS) and algal aerobic granular sludge (AAGS) (photogranules), were investigated. The granulation experiment was conducted in four sequencing batch reactors (SBR), of which two were conventional SBRs (RC1, RC2) used as control, and two were photo-SBRs (R1, R2). R1 and RC1 were operated with a 40-min feeding during ...

Abstract:
... The status, recent trends and future perspectives in modelling and optimisation of anaerobic co-digestion is investigated. Areas that can be focused on and those which need further research towards enhancing biogas production are pointed out. Co-digestion, modelling and optimisation of anaerobic digestion as well as techno-economic aspects are reviewed in this paper. It was noted that co-digestion ...

Abstract:
... Global climate change has led to increased sea surface temperatures and altered precipitation patterns worldwide. Concurrently, macroalgal blooms in coastal systems have been increasing in frequency and severity globally and are successful due to their fast growth rates and broad environmental tolerances. Here, we examine the responses of the bloom-forming green algae Ulva compressa and U. lacinul ...

Abstract:
... Food waste (FW) is not only a major social, nutritional and environmental issue, but also an underutilized resource with significant energy, which has not been fully explored currently. Considering co-digestion can adjust carbon to nitrogen ratio (C/N) of the feedstock and improve the synergetic interactions among microorganisms, anaerobic co-digestion (AnCoD) is then becoming an emerging approach ...

Abstract:
... Nitrogen (N) availability has been suggested to affect the mineralization of soil organic carbon (C). However, it remains unclear how N supply affects the decomposition of native soil organic C induced by labile C input (i.e., priming effect). This study aimed at examining whether the magnitude and direction of the priming effect depended on the N supply rates and how this interacted with soil lay ...

Abstract:
... The use of biochar is changing, and the combined application of biochar with fertilizer is increasingly gaining acceptance. However, the yield gains results reported in the existing literature through the co-application of fertilizer with biochar are conflicting. To resolve this, we utilized a meta-analysis of 627 paired data points extracted from 57 published articles to assess the performance of ...

Abstract:
... Denitrification is a potential strategy for nitrate removal from wastewater. This study reports the isolation of a novel bacterium Georgenia daeguensis ARB2 which has not been earlier reported for treatment of wastewater. ARB2 was isolated from pharmaceutical wastewater and optimized for growth and nitrate removal under conditions of 10 mM nitrate stress (140 mgL⁻¹ [Formula: see text]). It can uti ...

Abstract:
... Entombment, or the production of graveyards for the disposal of dead bodies, is not only a practice of human societies but is also observed in nature, including among small invertebrates such as termites. While the influence of termites on soil dynamics has largely been studied in comparing the specific properties of their mounds and protective sheeting with those of the surrounding soil, the prop ...

Abstract:
... Global atmospheric nitrogen deposition significantly affects the nutrient cycling and C–N–P stoichiometry in ecosystems. Herein, a global meta-analysis was conducted based on 898 pairwise observations to analyze the impact of nitrogen addition on plant-soil-enzyme C–N–P stoichiometry and microbial nutrient limitation in different ecosystem types (cropland, grassland, and forest), nitrogen addition ...

Abstract:
... Streams and rivers are becoming increasingly intermittent in Alpine regions due to the global climate change and related increases of local water abstractions, making it fundamental to investigate the occurrence of supraseasonal drying events and their correlated effects. We aimed to investigate leaf litter decomposition, the C:N ratio of the litter, and changes in associated macroinvertebrate com ...
... Composting residues from wine and dairy chains would contribute to increase the environmental sustainability of the production. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of deproteinized whey combined with bioactivators on the composting process. Bacillus velezensis and Kocuria rhizophila, bacteria with cellulolytic activity, were isolated from raw materials and inoculated in the organic m ...
... A two-chamber microbial photoelectrochemical cell (MPEC) with a denitrification biocathode and an α-Fe₂O₃/P3HT photoanode was established aimed to enhance nitrate removal from wastewater of low carbon sources and achieve simultaneous ibuprofen degradation. The results demonstrated that the average removal of NO₃–-N in the biocathode reached 96.56 ± 0.72% when the COD/NO₃–-N was 0.75, and the relat ...

Abstract:
... In this study, baffled anaerobic–aerobic reactors (AOBRs) with modified basalt fiber (MBF) carriers and felt were used to treat domestic wastewater (DWW). The influent was first treated in anaerobic compartments, with the NH₄⁺-N containing digestate refluxed into aerobic compartment for nitrification. The nitrified liquid was channeled to the anaerobic compartments for further denitrification. Und ...

Abstract:
... The location of the phloem deep inside the plant, the high hydrostatic pressure in the phloem, and the composition of phloem sap, which is rich in sugar with a high C:N ratio, allows phloem sap feeding insects to occupy a unique ecological niche. The anatomy and physiology of aphids, a large group of phytophagous insects that use their mouthparts, which are modified into stylets, to consume large ...

Abstract:
... Fluctuations in organic loading rate are frequently experienced in practical-scale anaerobic digestion systems. These impose shocks to the microbiome leading to process instability and failure. This study elucidated the short-term changes in biochemical pathways and the contributions of microbial groups involved in anaerobic digestion with varying organic load shocks. A mixture of starch and hipol ...

Abstract:
... The short resting period technique (i.e., deliberate stoppage of the substrate supply) for anaerobic digestion (AD) leads to accumulation of microbes using residual substrate, which could be an effective method to achieve microbial proliferation without additional investment/operating costs. The composition of substrate must influence the increase of microbes. However, even the effect of the carbo ...
... The recolonization of human‐dominated landscapes by large carnivores has been followed with considerable scientific interest; however, little is known about their interactive effect on ungulate foraging behavior. This study compared the risks imposed by humans and lynx on ungulate foraging behavior by examining the effects of browsing intensity (at two spatial scales), diet quality, and tree speci ...

... Archaeal communities in arable soils are dominated by Nitrososphaeria, a class within Thaumarchaeota comprising all known ammonia‐oxidizing archaea (AOA). AOA are key players in the nitrogen cycle and defining their niche specialization can help predicting effects of environmental change on these communities. However, hierarchical effects of environmental filters on AOA and the delineation of nich ...

Abstract:
... AIM: Species distribution models (SDMs) assume that all ecologically relevant predictor variables are included. This assumption is frequently violated in SDMs of plant species, as soil variables are rarely included. Here, we used in‐situ, soil geochemical variables along with more commonly used topo‐climatic and remotely sensed variables to create SDMs of understorey plant species. We evaluated wh ...
