Mangroves develop under environmental conditions and anthropogenic pressures whose impact on benthic meiofauna remains poorly understood. It is unclear how meiofauna communities are structured according to local sedimentary conditions. This study was designed to characterize the community structure of meiofauna and nematodes (dominant taxa) and the...

The global prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) has been an environmental menace. Tons of drug wastes from antiretroviral therapy are released into the environment annually. We, for the first time, employed the novel dielectric barrier atmospheric non-thermal plasma (DBANP) discharge, to mitigate ...

We present a soil manufactured from waste materials, which could replace the use of peat and topsoil in plant production and reduce the pressure on natural soil resources. We tested the effect of the manufactured soil on ecosystem functions and microbial communities with and without plants present, and with and without biochar addition (Experiment ...

Synergistic remediation of heavy metal (HM) contaminated soil using beneficial microorganisms (BM) and plants is a common and effective in situ bioremediation method. However, the shortcomings of this approach are the low colonisation of BM under high levels of heavy metal stress (HMS) and the poor state of plant growth. Previous studies have overl...

Coastal sediments play a central role in regulating the amount of land-derived reactive nitrogen (Nr) entering the ocean, and their importance becomes crucial in vulnerable ecosystems threatened by anthropogenic activities. Sedimentary denitrification has been identified as the main sink of Nr in marine environments, while anaerobic ammonium oxidat...

The environmental risks arising from ubiquitous microplastics or plastic debris (PD) acting as carriers of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) have attracted widespread attention. Enormous amounts of plastic waste are transported by rivers and traverse estuaries into the sea every year. However, changes in the antibiotic resistome within the plastis...

Chlorinated paraffins (CPs) are widely produced chemicals. Short-chain CPs (SCCPs) and medium-chain CPs (MCCPs) were listed as Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) and candidate POPs under the Stockholm Convention, respectively. The present study explored the developmental toxicity and metabolic disruption caused by SCCPs and MCCPs in zebrafish (Da...

The assessment of restoration success often neglects trophic interactions within food webs, focusing instead on biodiversity and community structure. Here, we analysed the long-term recovery of food web structure based on stable isotopes (δ13C and δ15N) of benthic invertebrates and quantified responses of food web metrics to time since restoration....

Amid growing concerns about diminishing river sand resources and escalating environmental apprehensions related to toxic landfill waste, this study explores the potential of Toxic Foundry Sand (TFS) as a substitute for Standard Fine Aggregate (SFA) in concrete production. The investigation into various TFS replacement ratios in M20 concrete focuses...

Although water temperature is one of the most important factors influencing hydrochemistry and river ecology, long-term monitoring and modelling of stream thermal temporal variability are uncommon. There is sparse research regarding the thermal regimes of Arctic rivers, especially in Svalbard, a geographical hotspot affected by extreme climate chan...
