Development of an Alternative Test System for Chronic Testing of Lotic Macroinvertebrate Species: A Case Study with the Insecticide Imidacloprid
(Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 2021-06-22)There are currently few suitable test systems for the chronic toxicity testing of aquatic macroinvertebrates under stream conditions. Therefore, a new test system mimicking running water conditions was developed for testing ... -
A multi‐criteria decision‐making approach for assembling optimal powertrain technology portfolios in low GHG emission environments
; ; (Journal of Industrial Ecology, 2021-05-13)
Environmental regulations force car manufacturers to renew the powertrain technology portfolio offered to the customer to comply with greenhouse gas (GHG) emission targets. In turn, automotive companies face the task of ... -
Tackling the Challenge of Extracting Microplastics from Soils: A Protocol to Purify Soil Samples for Spectroscopic Analysis
(Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 2021-05-06)Microplastic pollution in soils is an emerging topic in the scientific community, with researchers striving to determine the occurrence and the impact of microplastics on soil health, ecology, and functionality. However, ... -
Merging patterns and processes of diffuse pollution in urban watersheds: A connectivity assessment
(Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Water, 2021-05-03)Urban diffuse pollution affects water resources as much as its rural counterpart does; however, it is considerably less studied. The full complexity of the urban landscape needs to be addressed to apprehend the diversity ... -
Analyzing the Impact of Streamflow Drought on Hydroelectricity Production: A Global‐Scale Study
; ; ; ; (Water Resources Research, 2021-04-26)
Electricity production by hydropower is negatively affected by drought. To understand and quantify risks of less than normal streamflow for hydroelectricity production (HP) at the global scale, we developed an HP model ... -

(Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 2021-04-08)Field studies to determine the effects of chemicals on earthworm communities are generally conducted according to International Organization for Standardization standard 11268‐3 (and later comments). However, statistical ... -
Moving Toward Standardized Toxicity Testing Procedures with Particulates by Dietary Exposure of Gammarids
Götz, Astrid; Imhof, Hannes K.;; Beggel, Sebastian (Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 2021-03-31)
Ecotoxicological effect assessment of particulate materials and sparingly soluble substances is an emerging field. Current standard toxicity tests of aquatic organisms are based on soluble substances which are added to the ... -
The link between product service lifetime and GHG emissions: A comparative study for different consumer products
Glöser‐Chahoud, Simon;; Schultmann, Frank (Journal of Industrial Ecology, 2021-03-18)
The production, use, and final disposal of goods are directly linked to various environmental impacts caused along their supply chains and over their entire life cycles. When assessing these impacts for energy‐consuming ... -
Agro‐ecology, resource endowment and indigenous knowledge interactions modulate soil fertility in mixed farming systems in Central and Western Ethiopia
Agumas, Birhanu; Balume, Isaac; Musyoki, Mary K.; Benz, Martin; Nziguheba, Generose; Marohn, Carsten; Vanlauwe, Bernard; Cadisch, Georg; (Soil Use and Management, 2021-02-26)
Site‐specific soil fertility management requires a fundamental understanding of factors that modulate soil fertility variability in the local context. To verify this assumption, this study hypothesized that soil fertility ... -
Unraveling the Global Warming Mitigation Potential from Recycling Subway‐Related Excavated Soil and Rock in China Via Life Cycle Assessment
(Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management, 2021-02-18)Many cities across China are investing in subway projects, resulting in much subway construction activity, which has experienced a surge over the past decade. The construction activities inevitably cause a dramatic quantity ... -
Impact of biochar on nutrient supply, crop yield and microbial respiration on sandy soils of northern Germany
; Priyadarshani, S.H. Renuka; Haefele, Stephan M.; Schröder, Nicola; Pfeiffer, Eva‐Maria (European Journal of Soil Science, 2021-02-08)
The application of biochar to agricultural soils to increase nutrient availability, crop production and carbon sequestration has gained increasing interest but data from field experiments on temperate, marginal soils are ... -
Quantifying longevity and circularity of copper for different resource efficiency policies at the material and product levels
; (Journal of Industrial Ecology, 2021-02-06)
Resource efficiency strategies are emerging on policy agendas worldwide. Commonly, resource efficiency policies aim at decreasing losses at the waste management stage and, thus, diverge from public interest in more ... -
A model ensemble approach to determine the humus building efficiency of organic amendments in incubation experiments
; Diel, Julius; Nielsen, Kerstin; Mewes, Paul; Engels, Christof; Franko, Uwe (Soil Use and Management, 2021-02-02)
Organic amendments are important to sustain soil organic matter (SOM) and soil functions in agricultural soils. Information about the contribution of organic amendments to SOM can be derived from incubation experiments. ... -
Evaluating learning spaces in flood risk management in Germany: Lessons for governance research
; ; Kochskämper, Elisa (Journal of Flood Risk Management, 2021-01-26)
Efforts to collaboratively manage the risk of flooding are ultimately based on individuals learning about risks, the decision process, and the effectiveness of decisions made in prior situations. This article argues that ... -
