A review of bioconcentration factor (BCF) and bioaccumulation factor (BAF) assessments for organic chemicals in aquatic organismsBioaccumulation assessment is important in the scientific evaluation of risks that chemicals may pose to humans and the environment and is a current focus of regulatory effort. The status of bioaccumulation evaluations for organic chemicals in aquatic systems is reviewed to reduce uncertainty in bioaccumulation measurement, to provide quality data for assessment, and to assist in model dev... ...

Effect of N deposition on decomposition of plant litter and soil organic matter in forest systems The effects of nitrogen (N) deposition on plant litter and soil organic matter decomposition differ depending on the stage of decomposition (early, late, and final stages). The effects can be divided further into direct and indirect ones. Direct effects: additions of ammonium and nitrate to fresh, newly shed litter stimulate the initial decomposition of celluloses and solubles. By contras... ...

Anaerobic digestion from the viewpoint of microbiological, chemical, and operational aspects — a reviewAnaerobic digestion (AD) is intrinsically a sequential complex chemical and biochemical process, and many factors (microbiological, operational, and chemical) can affect its performance. The great complexity of AD may lead to many serious problems (such as instability, long retention times, low efficiency, and high polluted supernatant) that prevent this technique from being widely used an... ...

The social, economic, and environmental importance of inland fish and fisheriesThough reported capture fisheries are dominated by marine production, inland fish and fisheries make substantial contributions to meeting the challenges faced by individuals, society, and the environment in a changing global landscape. Inland capture fisheries and aquaculture contribute over 40% to the world’s reported finfish production from less than 0.01% of the total volume of water on... ...

Phosphate adsorption on metal oxides and metal hydroxides: A comparative review Phosphorus removal from wastewater is important for eutrophication control of water bodies. Metal oxides and metal hydroxides have always been developed and investigated for phosphorus removal, because of their abundance, low cost, environmental friendliness, and chemically stability. This paper presents a comparative review of the literature on the preparation methods, adsorption behavio... ...

Antibiotic resistance genes as an emerging environmental contaminantEmerging contaminants, including pharmaceutical and personal care products, are receiving considerable attention owing to their potential to negatively impact the environment and to pose risks to human health. The widespread use of antibiotics and their fate and transport in the environment pose further risks with respect to public health and the development of antibiotic resistant organis... ...

Four priority areas to advance invasion science in the face of rapid environmental change Unprecedented rates of introduction and spread of non-native species pose burgeoning challenges to biodiversity, natural resource management, regional economies, and human health. Current biosecurity efforts are failing to keep pace with globalization, revealing critical gaps in our understanding and response to invasions. Here, we identify four priority areas to advance invasion science ... ...

Climate change vulnerability and adaptation in the managed Canadian boreal forest Climate change is affecting Canada’s boreal zone, which includes most of the country’s managed forests. The impacts of climate change in this zone are expected to be pervasive and will require adaptation of Canada’s forest management system. This paper reviews potential climate change adaptation actions and strategies for the forest management system, considering current and projected cli... ...

Suitability maps for managed aquifer recharge: a review of multi-criteria decision analysis studies Suitability maps for managed aquifer recharge (MAR) sites hold a strong potential for integration into sustainable groundwater management plans. An uprising method to identify sites suitable for MAR implementation is geographic information system (GIS)-based multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA). There are no guidelines or a common understanding on how suitability mapping should be cond... ...
