Development of a probabilistic risk model for pharmaceuticals in the environment under population and wastewater treatment scenarios
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Preparing for future environmental pressures requires projections of how relevant risks will change over time. Current regulatory models of environmental risk assessment (ERA) of pollutants such as pharmaceuticals could ... -
Enhanced denitrification of biodegradable polymers using Bacillus pumilus in aerobic denitrification bioreactors: Performance and mechanism
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Nitrate accumulation is an important issue that affects animal health and causes eutrophication. This study combined biodegradable polymers with degrading bacteria to lead to high denitrification efficiency. The results ... -
Declining calcium concentration drives shifts toward smaller and less nutritious zooplankton in northern lakes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Zooplankton community composition of northern lakes is changing due to the interactive effects of climate change and recovery from acidification, yet limited data are available to assess these changes combined. Here, we ... -
Nature’s values in marine resource governance: an ethnographic case study of rockweed in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)This article addresses the shortcomings in the governance of the Norwegian macroscopic brown algae Ascophyllum nodosum (rockweed) that appeared when approaching rockweed as a socio-ecologic object in the Vega archipelago ... -
Reduced bioavailability of Au and isotopically enriched 109Ag nanoparticles transformed through a pilot wastewater treatment plant in Hyalella azteca under environmentally relevant exposure scenarios
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTP) are a major repository and entrance path of nanoparticles (NP) in the environment and hence play a major role in the final NP fate and toxicity. Studies on silver nanoparticles (AgNP) ... -
Dynamics of an aquatic diffusive predator–prey model with double Allee effect and pH-dependent capture rate
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)To investigate ocean acidification and Allee effects on the dynamics of a marine predator–prey system, an aquatic diffusive predator–prey model with double Allee effect on prey and -dependent capture rate is considered. ... -
Impacts of an extreme Changjiang flood on variations in carbon cycle components in the Changjiang Estuary and adjacent East China sea
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)River flooding is expected to increase in frequency and severity under climate change. However, the impact of extreme river flooding on the coastal carbon cycle has rarely been studied. A severe Changjiang flood occurred ... -
Social and genetic connectivity despite ecological variation in a killer whale network
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Philopatric kin-based societies encourage a narrow breadth of conservative behaviours owing to individuals primarily learning from close kin, promoting behavioural homogeneity. However, weaker social ties beyond kin, and ... -
Comparing likely effectiveness of urban Nature-based Solutions worldwide: The example of riparian tree planting and water quality
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Amongst a spectrum of benefits, Nature-based Solutions (NBS) are increasingly being advocated as improving the quality of aquatic environments in urban areas. Of these, a widely adopted measure is tree planting. Yet, because ... -
Handling of wild Atlantic salmon smolts reduced marine survival more than hydropower turbine passage
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Atlantic salmon smolts are sensitive to disturbance during their migration and negative effects experienced in freshwater may carry over into the marine environment. In this study, smolts were PIT-tagged and detected during ... -
It takes two to tango: the second session of negotiations (INC-2) for a global treaty to end plastic pollution
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)The United Nations (UN) Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee (INC) has completed its second round of negotiations on a new international legally binding instrument to ‘end plastic pollution’. This paper examines the ... -
Changes in Nutrient Concentration Resulting From Floods and Their Impact on the Estuary–Sea Continuum
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Evaluating the contribution of rivers to coastal seas in the Earth system and accurately predicting marine environmental responses to climate change are crucial for mitigating and addressing future natural disasters, ... -
Taming the terminological tempest in invasion science
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Standardised terminology in science is important for clarity of interpretation and communication. In invasion science – a dynamic and rapidly evolving discipline – the proliferation of technical terminology has lacked a ... -
Exploring BPA alternatives – Environmental levels and toxicity review
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Bisphenol A alternatives are manufactured as potentially less harmful substitutes of bisphenol A (BPA) that offer similar functionality. These alternatives are already in the market, entering the environment and thus raising ... -
Multigenerational toxicity of microplastics derived from two types of agricultural mulching films to Folsomia candida
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Degradation and fragmentation of mulching films represents an increasing source of microplastics (MPs, plastic particles 1 μm to 5 mm in size) to agricultural soils. MPs have been shown to affect many soil invertebrates, ... -
Passive-Sampler-Derived PCB and OCP Concentrations in the Waters of the World─First Results from the AQUA-GAPS/MONET Network
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are recognized as pollutants of global concern, but so far, information on the trends of legacy POPs in the waters of the world has been missing due to logistical, analytical, and ... -
Anoxia begets anoxia: A positive feedback to the deoxygenation of temperate lakes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Declining oxygen concentrations in the deep waters of lakes worldwide pose a pressing environmental and societal challenge. Existing theory suggests that low deep-water dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations could trigger a ... -
Diversification of marine aquaculture in Norway under climate change
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)Recently there has been increased interest in species diversification in aquaculture as a strategy to adapt to climate change. Since species diversification is a long-term strategy, climate change and future farming ... -
