Abstract:
... Clarifying the role of sulfate and dissolved oxygen (DO) in methane production may allow for precise and accurate modeling of methane emissions in eutrophic lakes. We conducted field observations of sulfate, methane, and DO concentrations in Lake Abashiri, a typical brackish and eutrophic lake in a cold region, to develop a DO-based method for quantitively estimating methane production in a eutrop ...
... Achieving synergy between food security and phosphorus (P) resource sustainability has been a major challenge for sustainable agriculture. However, addressing this challenge by linking region-specific and whole-process P management strategies has not been investigated. In this study, data collected from field experiments throughout China's major agroecological zones were used to explore potential ...

Abstract:
... The seasonal changes in dissolved organic matter (DOM), and its correlation with the release of internal nutrients during the annual cycle of cyanobacteria in the eutrophic Lake Chaohu, China, were investigated from four sampling periods between November 2020 and July 2021. The DOM fluorescence components were identified as protein-like C1, microbial humic-like C2, and terrestrial humic-like C3. T ...

Abstract:
... This article proposes a framework for ex-ante life cycle assessment (LCA) of biopolymers at low TRL, including: (i) scale-up; (ii) scenarios for processes and modelling choices; (iii) comparison with a fossil-based polymer, considering material substitution factors. The framework was applied to analyse a mango kernel starch (MKS) film and compare it with low-density polyethylene (LDPE). Mango seed ...

Abstract:
... Biogeochemical markers in combination with bacterial community composition were studied at two contrasting stations at the Río Negro (RN) estuary to assess the outwelling hypothesis in the Argentinian Patagonia. Inorganic nutrients and dissolved organic matter were exported clearly during the last hours of the ebb at the station Wetland. Moreover, a considerable outwelling of polyunsaturated fatty ...

Abstract:
... This study investigates the environmental impacts of using two different power groups in a fixed-wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). The first power group consists of a conventional electric motor, a lithium polymer battery and a propeller. The second power group is the hybrid power group formed by adding the Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cell. The life cycle assessment (LCA) method is appli ...
... Peanut (Arachis hypogaea) yield is often reduced by calcium (Ca) deficiency. Ca deficiency of peanut plants is likely to occur in most acidified soils (ASs, pH < 5.5) and some neutral soils (NSs, pH 6.5–7.5) in China. Liming is widely used to supply Ca and increase peanut yield. Nevertheless, the effects of liming on the chemical and microbial properties of peanut soils are still unclear, particul ...

Abstract:
... Aquaculture is growing to meet the increasing demand for aquaculture products but is not free of environmental impacts. One solution is to improve how feed are formulated, limiting the environmental impact of fish production. Multiobjective (MO) formulation, which aims for a compromise between lower cost and lower environmental impacts, appears to be a promising solution to reduce the environmenta ...

... The Nordic Bryological Society held its Annual meeting and excursion from 5 to 9 August 2019 in Sodankylä, Kittilä and Kolari in northern Finland. The excursion was attended by twenty-one participants. Special emphasis was given to boreal aapa mires and their Sphagnum species. A multitude of Sphagnum species typical to the area was encountered. Also, Red Listed species of meso- and eutrophic flark ...

Abstract:
... DGT (diffusive gradients in thin films) technique has been developed for measuring nitrogen in freshwaters and applied to assess the bioavailability of phosphorus in soils/sediments. These two elements are the main nutrients causing algae bloom, but DGT has never been used in the field water conditions with algae bloom. In our study, a pair of DGT devices were used in comparison with grab sampling ...

Abstract:
... As global threats to freshwater lakes, eutrophication and harmful algal blooms (HABs) are governed by various biogeochemical, climatological and anthropogenic processes. Groundwater is key to join these processes in regulating HABs, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we leveraged basin-wide field data of Lake Taihu (China's largest eutrophic lake) and global archives, and demonstr ...

Abstract:
... Decades of eutrophication have increased water turbidity in Danish estuaries and led to light limitation of eelgrass (Zostera marina) growth. Former eelgrass areas are now denuded and consist of organic-rich muddy sediment with frequent resuspension events that maintain a high turbidity state. In addition, low anchoring capacity of eelgrass in the soft organic-rich sediments has contributed to eel ...

Abstract:
... Climate change is not only changing the mean values of environmental parameters that modulate ecosystems, but also the regime of disturbances. Among them, extreme events have a key role in structuring biological communities. Ecosystems are frequently suffering multiple anthropogenic pressures which can cause effects that are not additive. Thus, the effects of extreme events need to be studied in c ...

Abstract:
... Aquatic ecosystems are the largest natural source of atmospheric methane (“CH₄”) worldwide. However, the current estimation of CH₄ emissions from aquatic ecosystems still has extensive uncertainty due to large spatiotemporal variations in CH₄ emissions as well as significant uncertainty in measurement methods. In this study, we initially investigated CH₄ fluxes from a simulated eutrophic water bod ...

Abstract:
... Increasing global warming and eutrophication have led to frequent outbreaks of cyanobacteria blooms in freshwater. Cyanobacteria blooms cause the death of aquatic and terrestrial organisms and have attracted considerable attention since the 19th century. Microcystin-LR (MC-LR) is one of the most typical cyanobacterial toxins. Therefore, the fast, sensitive, and accurate determination of MC-LR play ...

Abstract:
... The combination of remote sensing technology and traditional field sampling provides a convenient way to monitor inland water. However, limited by the resolution of remote sensing images and cloud contamination, the current water quality inversion products do not provide both high temporal resolution and high spatial resolution. By using the spatio-temporal fusion (STF) method, high spatial resolu ...

Abstract:
... The ability to identify the origin of phosphorus and understand processes controlling P cycling is essential for designing effective mitigation and restoration of eutrophic freshwater ecosystems. The oxygen isotope composition of orthophosphate (δ¹⁸Oₚ) has significant potential as a tracer for P entering freshwater ecosystems. However, methods of analysis of δ¹⁸Oₚ are still in their preliminary st ...

Abstract:
... Examining marine ecosystems in a distinct way can produce new ecological, theoretical and applied insights. The common “S” and “hockey stick” -shaped curves, which result from examining the cumulative biomass and trophic level and the cumulative production and cumulative biomass curves of marine ecosystems, have strong potential to elucidate the mechanisms of marine food webs. These curves are bas ...

... The Landsat series has marked the history of Earth observation by performing the longest continuous imaging program from space. The recent Landsat-9 carrying Operational Land Imager 2 (OLI-2) captures a higher dynamic range than sensors aboard Landsat-8 or Sentinel-2 (14-bit vs. 12-bit) that can potentially push forward the frontiers of aquatic remote sensing. This potential stems from the enhance ...

Abstract:
... Clarifying the pattern of relative nitrogen (N)-to-phosphorus (P) requirements for phytoplankton growth is of great significance for eutrophication mitigation and aquatic system management. The relative N-to-P requirement for phytoplankton growth is considered an essential trait determining species dominance within ecosystems and explaining phytoplankton response to nutrient availability. These re ...
