While the benefits humans gain from ecosystem functions and processes are critical in natural resource-dependent societies with persistent poverty, ecosystem services as a pathway out of poverty remain an elusive goal, contingent on the ecosystem and mediated by social processes. Here, we investigate three emerging dimensions of the ecosystem servi...

In calcareous watersheds, groundwater alkalinity results largely from dissolution of carbonate minerals in soils. The alkalinity increases initially approximately in proportion to nitrate (NO3−) concentration and eventually approaches an apparent maximum of approximately 8 mmol L−1 at high NO3− concentrations. This close positive relationship betwe...

BackgroundMany countries are experiencing significant water scarcity and related problems due to limited availability, uneven distribution of water resources and high demand. Therefore, increasing water use efficiency and better management of existing resources have become substantially important. The agricultural sector is responsible for around 8...

« Rural » est-il un gros mot ? En effet, en France, dans le zonage des territoires en aires urbaines de l’Insee, le mot « rural » a disparu. Aucun territoire ne serait donc rural. Cela signifie peut-être que l’évolution vers une France exclusivement urbaine est quasiment achevée. Il est donc impératif d’examiner les éléments témoignant d’un tel abo...

Coking wastewater (CWW) has long been a serious challenge for anaerobic treatment due to its high concentrations of phenolics and nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compounds (NHCs). Herein, we proposed and validated a new strategy of using zero-valent iron (ZVI) to strengthen the anaerobic treatment of CWW. Results showed that COD removal efficienci...

Objectives: Specific work processes and management structures that contribute to high rates of occupational illness and injury in agricultural industries are not well described in academic literature. This qualitative study of work organization in the U.S. fresh tomato industry investigates how work processes and management structures impact tomato...

A number of epidemiologic studies with a variety of exposure assessment approaches have implicated pesticides as risk factors for childhood cancers. Here we explore the association of pesticide exposure in pregnancy and early childhood with childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) utilizing land use and pesticid...
