This study aimed to develop four adsorbents, neat and activated, from the cardoon leaves and stems. The developed adsorbents were first analyzed to determine the surface acid–base properties using Boehm’s method, pH at zero charge point, iodine and methylene blue values, and moisture, ash, and fixed carbon contents. They were also characterized by ...

Drawing on contemporary ecological theory, this research project explores the extent to which a six-lesson intervention with a class of Year 10 Art & Design students in a maintained secondary school in Cambridge changed their perspectives on ecology and experimentation. The paper begins with a review of the relevant literature at the intersection o...

The nature and extent of diversity in the plankton has fascinated scientists for over a century. Initially, the discovery of many new species in the remarkably uniform and unstructured pelagic environment appeared to challenge the concept of ecological niches. Later, it became obvious that only a fraction of plankton diversity had been formally des...

Man-made structures in the marine environment such as offshore Oil & Gas infrastructure are known to provide a hard substrate that enables ecosystems to develop on and around them. Current decommissioning practices on the UK Continental Shelf are mandated by the OSPAR Decision 98/3 with the premise of a clean seabed at its core, meaning that it is ...

peer reviewed / Cyprinid fish play a major role in riverine ecosystems because of their high abundance, variety of life-history patterns, and habitat requirements. The nase (Chondrostoma nasus) is an algivorous, rheophilic, lithophilic, and oxyphilic species and is very pollution-sensitive. Thus, it represents a good indicator for habitat quality i...

Water temperature is an important environmental factor for many ecological processes in coastal ecosystems. Here, we study water temperature dynamics at a set of study sites on the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia where eelgrass beds are found. The central emphasis is to predict temperature on scales relevant to coastal ecosystem processes using a hig...

The northwestern Antarctic Peninsula is an important spawning, recruitment, and overwintering ground for Antarctic krill. The region is warming rapidly, and the current impacts of climate and environmental variability on the reproductive cycle of krill remain unclear. Here, we examine the reproductive stage of female krill in the austral winter fro...

In a famous 1967 article, Lynn White predicted the coming climate crisis and attributed responsibility for it to the medieval conception of man and nature. Yet Thomas Aquinas’s economic thought tends rather to refute this hypothesis, and could even be described, in contemporary terms, as ‘ecological’, at least in two respects. On the one hand, in c...
