One-Pot Synthesis of Xanthate-Functionalized Cellulose for the Detection of Micromolar Copper(II) and Nickel(II) Ions
(CLEAN – Soil, Air, Water, 2019)A one-pot synthesis and application of cellulose-based sensors to efficiently detect various toxic metal ions in aqueous solutions in micromolar quantities is reported. Cellulose microfibers have been functionalized with ... -
Online flood forecasting in fast responding catchments on the basis of a synthesis of artificial neural networks and process models
(Univ. Dresden, 2007)A detailed and comprehensive description of the state of the art in the field of flood forecasting opens this work. Advantages and shortcomings of currently available methods are identified and discussed. Amongst others, ... -
Operation and Cost Analysis of a Partly Mechanized Small Scale Gold Mine in Ghana
(2013-09-02)The economically successful operation of partly mechanized small scale mines in Ghana could fill the gap between large scale, industrial and foreign controlled mining operations and the artisanal (or "galamsey") small scale ... -
Pathogen and heavy metal contamination in urban agroecosystems of northern Ghana: Influence of biochar application and wastewater irrigation
(Journal of Environmental Quality, 2021-08-18)The benefit of biochar as a soil fertility enhancer is well known and has been broadly investigated. Equally, many tropical and subtropical countries use wastewater for irrigation in urban agriculture. To assess the related ... -

Predictive modeling of organic pollutant leaching and transport behavior at the lysimeter and field scales
(Univ. Dresden, 2007)Soil and groundwater pollution has become a global issue since the advent of industrialization and mechanized agriculture. Some contaminants such as PAHs may persist in the subsurface for decades and centuries. In a bid ... -
Proceedings International Symposium "The stability of tropical rainforest margins - linking ecological, economic and social constraints of land use and conservation"
(Universitätsverlag Göttingen, 2005-09)This proceeding volume results from the submitted abstracts of the international symposium “The Stability of Rainforest Margins: Linking Ecological, Economic and Social Constraints” held on September 19 – 23, 2005 in ... -
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 ... -
Reduction of Pesticide Toxicity Under Field-Relevant Conditions? The Interaction of Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles, Ultraviolet, and Natural Organic Matter
(Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 2020)In surface waters, the illumination of photoactive engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) with ultraviolet (UV) light triggers the formation of reactive intermediates, consequently altering the ecotoxicological potential of ... -
Removing Disturbing Matrix Constituents from Biota Extracts from Total Extraction and Silicone‐Based Passive Sampling
(Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 2021-08-11)Contaminant analysis in biota extracts can be hampered by matrix interferences caused by, for example, co‐extracted lipids that compromise the quality of the analytical data and require frequent maintenance of the analytical ... -
Renewable Energy from Wildflowers—Perennial Wild Plant Mixtures as a Social-Ecologically Sustainable Biomass Supply System
(Advanced Sustainable Systems, 2020)A growing bioeconomy requires increasing amounts of biomass from residues, wastes, and industrial crops for bio-based products and bioenergy. There is much discussion about how industrial crop cultivation could promote ... -
Resilience Dynamics of Urban Water Supply Security and Potential of Tipping Points
(Earth's Future, 2019)Cities are the drivers of socioeconomic innovation and are also forced to address the accelerating risk of failure in providing essential services such as water supply today and in the future. Here, we investigate the ... -
Resilience: On-going wave or subsiding trend in flood risk research and practice?
(Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Water, 2019)Resilience in relation to flood risk management (FRM) is not a new concept, yet parts of the FRM community are still struggling to apply it. The main challenge this study addresses is the question as to whether parts of ... -
Response of subsoil organic matter contents and physical properties to long‐term, high‐rate farmyard manure application
(European Journal of Soil Science, 2022-03-31)Application of farmyard manure (FYM) is common practice to improve physical and chemical properties of arable soil and crop yields. However, studies on effects of FYM application mainly focussed on topsoils, whereas subsoils ... -
Responses of soil organic carbon, aggregate diameters, and hydraulic properties to long‐term organic and conventional farming on a Vertisol in India
(Land Degradation & Development, 2022-02-13)Organic matter management can improve soil structural properties. This is crucial for agricultural soils in tropical regions threatened by high rainfall intensities. Compared to conventional farming, organic farming is ... -
