Freeze-thaw cycles simultaneously decrease peatland photosynthetic carbon uptake and ecosystem respiration

Alexandre Buttler, Vincent Eric Jules Jassey, Mariusz Lamentowicz, Constant Signarbieux, Bjorn Jozef Maria Robroek, Robert Thomas Edmund Mills, Maaike Louise Hofsommer

Decreasing snow cover in winter resulting from climate warming increases the incidence of freeze-thaw cycles (FTCs) in many ecosystems, including peatlands. As peatland ecosystems form a globally significant long-term carbon storage, understanding the effe ...

Weekly to monthly time scale of melt inclusion entrapment prior to eruption recorded by phosphorus distribution in olivine from mid-ocean ridges

Anders Meibom, Stéphane Laurent Escrig, Othmar Müntener, Lukas Baumgartner, Mélina Manzini

Melt inclusions (MIs) hosted in euhedral olivine have been proposed to represent droplets of primary melt, protected from processes occurring near Earth's surface during eruption. The complex zoning of phosphorus (P) in some olivines and the presence of a ...

Land-use change affects phosphorus fractions in highly weathered tropical soils

Thomas Guillaume

Deforestation and land-use change in tropics have increased over the past decades, driven by the demand for agricultural products. Although phosphorus (P) is one of the main limiting nutrients for agricultural productivity in the tropics, the effect of lan ...

The Chaoborus pump: Migrating phantom midge larvae sustain hypolimnetic oxygen deficiency and nutrient internal loading in lakes

Sabine Flury McGinnis

Hypolimnetic oxygen demand in lakes is often assumed to be driven mainly by sediment microbial processes, while the role of Chaoborus larvae, which are prevalent in eutrophic lakes with hypoxic to anoxic bottoms, has been overlooked. We experimentally meas ...

Influence of Wastewater Composition on Microbial Communities of Aerobic Granules and their Nutrient Removal Performances

Christof Holliger, Aline Sondra Adler, Eva Reynaert

ABSTRACT Basic understanding of aerobic granular sludge (AGS) processes has mainly been obtained in laboratory-scale studies with simple synthetic wastewaters. Two approaches were applied here to make a step toward the comprehension of AGS systems treating ...

Identification of microorganisms in Aerobic Granular Sludgeactively involved in biological phosphorus removal

Arnaud Michel Gelb

One of the aims of the treatment of domestic and industrial wastewater is the removal of phosphorus prior to discharge into the environment. Since phosphorus concentrations in wastewater exceed the requirement of bacterial growth, biological phosphorus rem ...

Measurement of ammonia emissions from temperate and sub-polar seabird colonies

Julia Schmale

The chemical breakdown of marine derived reactive nitrogen transported to the land as seabird guano represents a significant source of ammonia (NH3) in areas far from other NH3 sources. Measurements made at tropical and temperate seabird colonies indicate ...

Monolayer Doping of Silicon through Grafting a Tailored Molecular Phosphorus Precursor onto Oxide-Passivated Silicon Surfaces

David Lyndon Emsley, Aaron James Rossini, Tsung-Han Lin

Monolayer doping (MLD) of silicon substrates at the nanoscale is a powerful method to provide controlled doses of dopants and defect-free materials. However, this approach requires the deposition of a thick SiO2 cap layer to limit dopant evaporation during ...

Polyphosphate - a key biopolymer in aerobic granular sludge technology

Christof Holliger, Aline Sondra Adler, Arnaud Michel Gelb

Polyphosphate is the key biopolymer in wastewater treatment (WWT) processes applying enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) by polyphosphate-accumulating organisms (PAO). Alternating anaerobic (no oxygen and no nitrate) and aerobic phases is used to ...
