the effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal (am) fungi on growth and phosphorus (p) inflow into two species of clover plant with different root morphology were studied. the experiment was arranged as a randomized complete block design consisting of a 2×3×3 factorial combination of two clover species (trifolium alexandrinum l. and trifolium pratense l.), three mycorrhiza states (without mycorrhiza, gl...

Feeding bio-P removal Alkaline fermentation and P-recovery Increasing pH in sludge fermentation increases production of fatty acids needed to feed biological Premoval. Recovery of phosphorus and nitrogen as struvite enables further process optimisation. P-recovery Germany Adapting sludge treatment to optimise struvite recovery Appropriate management of the sludge thickening process can increase...

Terrigenous loading into enclosed water bodies has been blamed for eutrophic conditions marked by massive algal growth and subsequent hypoxia due to decomposition of dead algal cells. This study aims to describe the eutrophication and hypoxia processes in a semi-enclosed water body lying near a big metropolis. Phosphorus mass balance in a small inlet, Ohko Inlet, located at the head of Hiroshim...

Measurements of nutrient and suspended matter concentrations and loads entering and leaving the Castanhão reservoir during the rainy season were carried out to assess the influence of this large reservoir on land-sea fluvial transport in the ephemeral Jaguaribe river basin. Spatial variation indicated statistically significant attenuation of concentrations only for total phosphorous and suspend...

In response to water quality and quantity issues within the Stroubles Creek watershed in Blacksburg, Virginia, a retrofit bioretention cell (BRC) was installed to collect and treat runoff from an existing parking lot. The BRC was completed in July 2007, and 28 precipitation events were monitored between October 2007 and June 2008. For each storm, inflow and outflow flow-weighted composite sampl...

Variation of hydrochemical conditions, with special reference to adequacy of waters as fish habitats, was traced based on selected hydrochemical parameters obtained during the studies conducted from February 2013 till February 2014 year. The results were compared with earlier studies. The sources of organic pollution were identified, and the effect of biogenic substances on the biomass, as well...

HÅKANSON, L. and LINDGREN, D., 2008. On regime shifts and budgets for nutrients in the open Baltic Proper: evaluations based on extensive data between 1974 and 2005. Journal of Coastal Research, 24(0), 000–000. West Palm Beach (Florida), ISSN 0749-0208. Empirical data ultimately form the basis for most environmental studies. This work uses extensive data sets from the Baltic Proper on total pho...

Coastal aquaculture can contribute to eutrophication of receiving waters. New technologies and improved management practices allow the aquaculture industry to be more sustainable and economically viable. Current practices, however, do not provide an additional use for effluent water. Nitrogen, phosphorus and other effluent compounds could be valuable plant nutrients. Inflow and effluent water f...
