The Goldilocks Zone in Cooling Demand: What Can We Do Better?
(
- Earth's Future
, 2022-01-18)
The higher frequency and intensity of sustained heat events have increased the demand for cooling energy across the globe. Current estimates of summer‐time energy demand are primarily based on Cooling Degree Days (CDD), ...
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 ...
Steckbriefe Moorsubstrate, 2. Auflage
(
- Hochschule für nachhaltige Entwicklung Eberswalde (Hrsg.)
, 2015)
Moore sind faszinierende Lebensräume, die überaus bemerkenswerte Funktionen im Wirkungsgefüge einer Landschaft erfüllen. Der Erhaltungszustand der Moore in Deutschland ist jedoch nach wie vor besorgniserregend und führte ...
BEST PRACTICE GUIDELINE Measurement of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide fluxes between soil-vegetation-systems and the atmosphere using non-steady state chambers
(Arbeitsgruppe Bodengase, Deutsche Bodenkundliche Gesellschaft, 2022)
This Best Practice Guideline was been initiated by the Working Group Soil Gases (AG Bodengase) of the German Soil Science Society (Deutsche Bodenkundliche Gesellschaft). Our intention was to collect and aggregate the ...
Long‐term sulfamethazine leaching simulation in two different soils using the MACRO model
(
- Journal of Environmental Quality
, 2022-03-10)
Physically based models have been part of many risk assessment studies concerning pesticide or nutrient transport within (sub)catchments or at plot scale, but they are only poorly validated for simulating the transport of ...
Application of mixed‐effects modelling and rule‐based models to explain copper variation in soil profiles of southern Germany
(
- European Journal of Soil Science
, 2022-06-20)
Copper (Cu) is an essential element for plants and microorganisms and at larger concentrations a toxic pollutant. A number of factors controlling Cu dynamics have been reported, but information on quantitative relationships ...
Simultaneously tracing the fate of seven metals at a global level with MaTrace‐multi
(
- Journal of Industrial Ecology
, 2022-01-08)
Keeping materials in use for a long time is key to reducing primary material demand and environmental impacts of resource use. Recycling yields of metals should only be limited by thermodynamically unavoidable losses of ...
Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Potential of Alternate Wetting and Drying for Rice Production at National Scale—A Modeling Case Study for the Philippines
(
- Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences
, 2022-05-09)
Worldwide, rice production contributes about 10% of total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the agricultural sector, mainly due to CH4 emissions from continuously flooded fields. Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD) is a ...
Economic and ecological trade-offs of agricultural specialization at different spatial scales
(
- Ecological Economics
, 2016)
Specialization in agricultural systems can lead to trade-offs between economic gains and ecosystem functions.
We suggest and explore a conceptual framework in which economic gains can be maximized when production
activities ...
Joint Effects of Fragmentation and Mercury Contamination on Marsh Periwinkle (Littoraria irrorata) Movement
(
- Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry
, 2022-06-06)
There are different ways contaminants can interact and enhance the effects of habitat fragmentation, such as modifying the movement of organisms. The present study tested the hypothesis that mercury exacerbates the effects ...
