Objectives In order to improve the stability of the ANAMMOX process, a three-stage ANAMMOX process combined with denitritation/nitritation process was operated, and effect of internal recycle ratio on the nitrogen removal efficiency was investigated ...

Impacts of Climate Change on Groundwater Quality in the Northern Atlantic Coastal Plain: A Review
ABSTRACT This review integrates hydrogeological and geochemical processes to assess the impacts of climate change on groundwater quality in the Northern Atlantic Coastal Plain (NACP). Projected changes in air temperature, precipitation, and sea‐level rise are expected to influence groundwater recharge, discharge, storage, and seawater intrusion in ...

Oxygen is a key regulatory factor of anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox). Although the inhibitory effect of oxygen is evident, a wide range of oxygen sensitivities of anammox bacteria have been reported so far, which makes it difficult to model the ...

Abstract Ecosystem metabolism (e.g., gross primary production [GPP], respiration [R], and net ecosystem production) integrates the activity of aerobic organisms and is an indicator of environmental change. Microplastics (i.e., particles 1–5 mm) are widespread in freshwater ecosystems and are colonized by biofilms and other organisms.

Life after death in the pelagic: Non‐predatory zooplankton mortality and the “ghost carbon pump”
Abstract The biological carbon pump is traditionally framed as a trophically mediated process in which zooplankton mortality is attributed mainly to predation, routing carbon through fecal pellets and higher trophic levels before export. Increasing evidence, however, shows that nonpredatory mortality—caused by different environmental stressors—accounts

Abstract Denitrification, the microbial process by which nitrate (NO3−) in aquatic systems is converted to N2 and N2O, is widely recognized as an effective and environmentally friendly method for mitigating NO3− pollution in water bodies. However, the complex role of salinity, which could significantly influence the denitrification process, in salt ...

Blue Nitrogen: Global Rates and Economic Importance
Abstract Nitrogen (N) pollution drives widespread coastal ecosystem collapse. In this paper, we argue that mangrove forests represent an undervalued natural mitigation solution for N pollution. By performing a comprehensive global meta‐analysis, we reveal that mangroves remove 870 Gg N annually, which represents an economic value reaching $8.7 billion ...

Anaerobic ammonium oxidation (Anammox) is a cost-effective process for treating highly nitrogenous wastewater. However, the fate of organic nitrogen during Anammox treatment is still unclear, which limits its practical application.

Abstract Microbial metabolism relies on redox reactions that exploit chemical disequilibria. While aerobic carbon oxidation, carbon fixation, and fermentation are well studied, the broader space of anaerobic carbon redox reactions remains underexplored.
