Quantification and analysis of surface macroplastic contamination on arable areas
(Journal of Soils and Sediments, 2021-12-03)Purpose: The present study provides quantitative data on the degree of macroplastic contamination of two conventionally treated arable areas in North Rhine-Westphalia (Germany), which differ only in the use of ... -
Quantifizierung lokaler Grundwassereintritte in die Spree und deren Bedeutung für die Verockerungsproblematik in der Laustiz
(Grundwasser, 2020-05-23)Eine unbekannte, schwer zu bestimmende aber zentrale Komponente in der Verockerungs-Problematik der Spree ist der lokale Grundwasserzufluss. Als Teil dieser Studie wurden mithilfe des natürlichen Tracers Radon (222Rn) die ... -
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 ... -
Resource and Grade Control Model Updating for Underground Mining Production Settings
(Mathematical Geosciences, 2020-08-13)A key requirement for the mining industry is the characterization of the spatial distribution of geometallurgical properties of the ore and waste in a mineral deposit. Due to geological uncertainty, resource models are ... -
Resource Model Updating For Compositional Geometallurgical Variables
(Mathematical Geosciences, 2020-08-13)In the field of mineral resources extraction, one main challenge is to meet production targets in terms of geometallurgical properties. These properties influence the processing of the ore and are often represented in ... -
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 ... -
Revisiting global trends in freshwater insect biodiversity
(Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Water, 2020-12-31)A recent global meta‐analysis reported a decrease in terrestrial but increase in freshwater insect abundance and biomass (van Klink et al., Science 368, p. 417). The authors suggested that water quality has been improving, ... -
Sanierung der Altlast am ehemaligen Gaswerk Neubrandenburg
(Neubrandenburger Geologische Beiträge; Vol.12)Das ehemalige Gaswerk liegt innerhalb der Stadt Neubrandenburg „Am Güterbahnhof“, umgeben von Altbausubstanz mit gewerblicher Nutzung und Wohnbebauung. Die Produktion von Stadtgas aus Steinkohle begann hier 1867. Eine ... -
Schadstoffmuster in der regionalen Grundwasserkontamination der mitteldeutschen Industrie- und Bergbauregion Bitterfeld-Wolfen
(Univ. Halle, 2001)Um aus bestehenden umfangreichen Datenbeständen neuartige Informationen über Stoffe und ihre Verteilungsmuster in einer regionalen Grundwasserkontamination zu extrahieren, wurde eine dreistufige Untersuchungsstrategie ... -
Schauplätze der Umweltgeschichte - Werkstattbericht
(Universtätsverlag Göttingen, 2008)Schauplätze der Umweltgeschichte sind Orte, an denen sich exemplarisch umweltbezogenes Handeln demonstrieren lässt bzw. Orte, von denen Ideen ausgingen, die umwelthistorisch weitreichende Konsequenzen hatten. Die Darstellungen ... -
Science‐state alliances and climate engineering: A ‘longue durée’ picture
(Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Climate Change, 2022-08-19)Since the early 2000s, proposals to deliberately modify the Earth's climate have gained political traction as a controversial last resort measure against dangerous global warming. The article provides a ‘longue durée’ ... -
Sea Ice Targeted Geoengineering Can Delay Arctic Sea Ice Decline but not Global Warming
(Earth's Future, 2019)To counteract global warming, a geoengineering approach that aims at intervening in the Arctic ice-albedo feedback has been proposed. A large number of wind-driven pumps shall spread seawater on the surface in winter to ... -
Seasonal Differences in the Attenuation of Polar Trace Organics in the Hyporheic Zone of an Urban Stream
(Water Resources Research, 2022-01-20)Attenuation of trace organic compounds (TrOCs) in a river occurs to a large extent in its hyporheic zone. A major part of the attenuation of polar TrOCs is of microbial origin. As microbial activity depends on temperature ...
