Studies on the Arabian Sea coastal anoxia have been of immense interest, but despite its ecological significance there is sparse understanding of the microbes involved. Hence, observations were carried out off Goa (15 degrees 30'N, 72 degrees 40'E to 15 degrees 30'N, 72 degrees 59'E) to understand the processes that mediate the changes in various inorganic nitrogen species in the water column d...

Microbial-induced mineralization is a process in which metal ions the environment are processed by microorganisms, forming deposits of crystals with cementing and void-filling functions. Cementing can fix ions, reduce permeability, improve soil strength, play positive role remediation pollution control. This paper first introduces principle microbial-induced analyzes its mechanism action treatm...

The processes that affect removal and retention of nitrogen during wastewater treatment in constructed wetlands (CWs) are manifold and include NH(3) volatilization, nitrification, denitrification, nitrogen fixation, plant and microbial uptake, mineralization (ammonification), nitrate reduction to ammonium (nitrate-ammonification), anaerobic ammonia oxidation (ANAMMOX), fragmentation, sorption, ...

In order to address the United Nations Millennium Development Goal (MDG) target #7 for water and sanitation, the World Health Organization (WHO) has identified point-of-use (POU) water treatment technologies as an option for providing safe water to households. The BioSand filter (BSF) is a commonly used POU system that has been implemented in Cambodia and over 20 countries worldwide. While the ...

The present investigation was conducted to understand the role of enriched biochar on soil nitrogen and carbon dynamics, leaching losses nutrients, growth attributes wheat. Buffalo slurry (BS) used enrich for 24 h 2% (SB) or (SEB) used. Enrichment with BS as SEB improved C N contents by 33–310% 41–286% respectively. application reduced net nitrification 81% 94%, ammonification 48% 74%, dioxide ...

The intensification of agriculture leads to worrying changes in agro-ecosystems. Research has been conducted bridge the gap between desire maintain ecological balance and harmful interference with ecosystems. Spent mushroom substrate (SMS) can become basis a farming system that improves soil quality. aim study was assess potential SMS improving following quality indicators: abundance activity m...
