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 ...
Enhanced remediation of Cr6+ in bacterial-assisted floating wetlands
(
- Water and Environment Journal
, 2020)
Hexavalent chromium (Cr6+) is reported to have negative effects on fauna and flora. The present study establishes plant-bacterial synergism in floating wetlands (FWs) for the maximum removal of Cr6+ from the contaminated ...
Hydrothermal carbonization for sludge disposal in Germany: A comparative assessment for industrial-scale scenarios in 2030
(
- Journal of Industrial Ecology
, 2020)
The efficient use of biogenic residues can make a significant contribution to increase resource efficiency. Due to its high energy efficiency, hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) is being discussed as a potentially suitable ...
Multimodel Analysis of Future Land Use and Climate Change Impacts on Ecosystem Functioning
(
- Earth's Future
, 2019)
Land use and climate changes both affect terrestrial ecosystems. Here, we used three combinations of Shared Socioeconomic Pathways and Representative Concentration Pathways (SSP1xRCP26, SSP3xRCP60, and SSP5xRCP85) as input ...
Cost–benefit analysis of flood-zoning policies: A review of current practice
(
- Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Water
, 2019)
One commonly proposed method to limit flood risk is land-use or zoning policies which regulates construction in high-risk areas, in order to reduce economic exposure and its vulnerability to flood events. Although such ...
A Data-Driven Framework to Characterize State-Level Water Use in the United States
(
- Water Resources Research
, 2020)
Access to credible estimates of water use is critical for making optimal operational decisions and investment plans to ensure reliable and affordable provisioning of water. Furthermore, identifying the key predictors of ...
Aquatic Biofilms—Sink or Source of Microplastics? A Critical Reflection on Current Knowledge
(
- Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry
, 2021-09-21)
The scientific understanding regarding sources, occurrence, and effects of microplastics in the aquatic environment has advanced rapidly, leaving some meaningful knowledge gaps virtually untouched. One of them is the ...
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 ...
Potential of Thermal Neutrons to Correct Cosmic‐Ray Neutron Soil Moisture Content Measurements for Dynamic Biomass Effects
(
- Water Resources Research
, 2022-08-22)
Cosmic‐ray neutron sensors (CRNS) enable noninvasive determination of field‐scale soil moisture content by exploiting the dependence of the intensity of aboveground epithermal neutrons on the hydrogen contained in soil ...
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’ ...
