A novel testate amoebae trait-based approach to infer environmental disturbance in Sphagnum peatlands

Vincent Eric Jules Jassey, Mariusz Lamentowicz

Species' functional traits are closely related to ecosystem processes through evolutionary adaptation, and are thus directly connected to environmental changes. Species' traits are not commonly used in palaeoecology, even though they offer powerful advanta ...

Towards a tiered framework for an ecotoxicological hazard assessment of fluvial sediments - presentation and early tests

Benoît Jean Dominique Ferrari

Sediments are an essential component of fluvial ecosystems. They are also quite often a cause of disturbance for fluvial works, such as dams or locks. In order to manage these disturbances without causing adverse impacts downstream, managers should have in ...

Impacts of acidic ISR on geochemistry and bacteria in Kazakhstan

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Pierre Rossi, Luiz Felippe De Alencastro, Brian Carl Reinsch

In Kazakhstan, in-situ recovery (ISR) mining utilizes H2SO4 (pH < 2) to mobilize uranium from naturally reducing conditions. ISR can be less environmentally impactful than physical mining techniques, but it risks groundwater (GW) contamination. Presented h ...
