Removal of pharmaceuticals in pre-denitrifying MBBR Influence of organic substrate availability in single- and three-stage configurations

Due to the limited efficiency of conventional biological treatment, innovative solutions are being explored to improve the removal of trace organic chemicals in wastewater. Controlling biomass exposure to growth substrate represents an appealing option for ...

Scaling of dissolved organic carbon removal in river networks

Tom Ian Battin, Enrico Bertuzzo

Streams and rivers play a major role in the global carbon cycle as they collect, transform and deliver terrestrial organic carbon to the ocean. The rate of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) removal depends on hydrological factors (primarily water depth and re ...

Are viruses important in the plankton of highly turbid glacier-fed lakes?

Hannes Markus Peter

Viruses are ubiquitous in aquatic ecosystems where they significantly contribute to microbial mortality. In glacier-fed turbid lakes, however, viruses not only encounter low host abundances, but also a high number of suspended mineral particles introduced ...

Persistent high temperature and low precipitation reduce peat carbon accumulation

Alexandre Buttler, Luca Bragazza, Vincent Eric Jules Jassey, Constant Signarbieux, Bjorn Jozef Maria Robroek, Remy Jean Henry Albrecht

Extreme climate events are predicted to become more frequent and intense. Their ecological impacts, particularly on carbon cycling, can differ in relation to ecosystem sensitivity. Peatlands, being characterized by peat accumulation under waterlogged condi ...

Competitive co-adsorption dynamics of viruses and dissolved organic matter to positively charged sorbent surfaces

Tamar Kohn, Antonius Magdi Hakeem Armanious

Adsorption onto solid water interfaces is a key process governing the fate and transport of waterborne viruses. Although negatively charged viruses are known to extensively adsorb onto positively charged adsorbent surfaces, virus adsorption in such systems ...

Soil microbial community resistance to drought and links to C stabilization in an Australian grassland

Pierre Rémi Mariotte

Drought is predicted to increase in many areas of the world, which can greatly influence soil microbial community structure and C stabilization. Increasing soil carbon (C) stabilization is an important strategy to mitigate climate change effects, but the u ...

Hydrology controls dissolved organic matter export and composition in an Alpine stream and its hyporheic zone

Tom Ian Battin, Amber Joy Ulseth

Streams and rivers transport dissolved organic matter (DOM) from the terrestrial environment to downstream ecosystems. In light of climate and global change it is crucial to understand the temporal dynamics of DOM concentration and composition, and its exp ...

Assemblages and paleo-diet variability of subfossil Chironomidae (Diptera) from a deep lake (Lake Grand Maclu, France)

François Gillet

The heterogeneity of the subfossil chironomid deposition (in terms of assemblages and paleo-diet) has to be studied to assess the reliability of paleolimnological interpretations (i.e., spatial representativeness). We collected 31 cores in the deepest part ...

Bioavailability of inorganic nanoparticles to planktonic bacteria and aquatic microalgae in freshwater

Paul Bowen, Nadia Rachel Von Moos

Over the past few years, engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) have penetrated nearly every sector of modern life and their broad-scale use is steadily and rapidly increasing. The (expected) elevated levels of ENMs in the environment raise concerns with regard t ...

Do peatlands hibernate?

Alexandre Buttler, Vincent Eric Jules Jassey, Constant Signarbieux, Robert Thomas Edmund Mills

Winter seasonality with low amounts of incoming radiation, frost and snow cover characterize large areas at mid- and high latitudes, especially in the arctic and in mountain ranges. Because of these adverse conditions, it is often assumed that ecosystem pr ...
