Ocean and Atmospheric Observations at the Remote Ieodo Ocean Research Station in the Northern East China Sea
For open ocean environments, it is rare to find continuous, simultaneous air and sea observation records due to the challenges of instrument installation and maintenance. The Ieodo Ocean Research Station (Ieodo ORS), a remote ocean site located in the northern East China Sea with its harsh oceanic and atmospheric environment, provides a platform fo...
Litter share and clay content determine soil restoration effects of rich litter tree species in forests on acidified san...
Many West-European forests are located on degraded and acidified soils. Soil acidification has resulted in hampered ecosystem functioning and lower delivery of ecosystem services. Forest management, particularly the choice of tree species, can accelerate or counteract soil acidification by the quality of litter input. The positive impact of so call...
Recovery of phosphorus from municipal wastewater treatment sludge through bioleaching using Acidithiobacillus thiooxidan...
Published in Journal of environmental management
Conventional wastewater treatment plants remove phosphorus, which is captured in sewage sludge. Increasing attention is paid to suitable process pathways that allow recovery and recycling of phosphorus. One of the processes under investigation is acid leaching and recovery of phosphorus, but this requires considerable chemical additives, which coul...
Grow - store - steam - re-peat : reuse of spent growing media for circular cultivation of Chrysanthemum
Substantially extending the life span of peat- and perlite-based growing media is a measure to increase the sustainability of soilless cultivation. The extraction of peat from pristine peatlands threatens these sensitive ecosystems and carbon sinks, meanwhile resulting in increased emissions of greenhouse gasses. Each batch of peat that is reused, ...
Near-future ocean warming and acidification alter foraging behaviour, locomotion, and metabolic rate in a keystone marin...
...
Environmentally-induced changes in fitness are mediated by direct effects on physiology and behaviour, which are tightly linked. We investigated how predicted ocean warming (OW) and acidification (OA) affect key ecological behaviours (locomotion speed and foraging success) and metabolic rate of a keystone marine mollusc, the sea hare Stylocheilus s...
Tuning the aroma profiles of FORASTERO cocoa liquors by varying pod storage and bean roasting temperature
...
The unique impact of roasting conditions on the aroma quality of cocoa beans has been demonstrated in many studies. However, information on the additional impact of pod storage (PS) and its combined effect with roasting temperature (RT) is unknown. Hence, this study sought to elucidate the collective contribution of these post-harvest/process param...

Effects of Soil Properties on the Toxicity and Bioaccumulation of Lead in Soil Invertebrates
The present study examined the effects of soil physical and chemical properties on the toxicity of lead (Pb) to earthworms (Eisenia fetida) and collembolans (Folsomia candida), and on bioaccumulation of Pb by earthworms, in soils amended with Pb salts. Toxicity tests were conducted in 7 soils varying in soil properties (pH 4.7-7.4, effective cation...
