Nitrogen and phosphorus losses from a feedlot for suckler cows [PDF]
The raising of cattle outdoors in winter is becoming more common in temperate areas, although there is little information available on the effects of this practice on forested environments.

Calibration procedure selection should be carefully considered in data‐scarce circumstances, as good model efficiency does not necessarily guarantee a realistic representation of hydrological processes. Stable isotopes proved effective in validating model results and detecting shortcomings in the J2000 model caused by sparse hydroclimatic data and the ...

Biomonitoring of the genotoxic potential of aqueous extracts of soils and bottom ash resulting from municipal solid waste incineration, using the comet and micronucleus tests on amphibian (Xenopus laevis) larvae and bacterial assays (MutatoxR and Ames tests) [PDF]
The management of contaminated soils and wastes is a matter of considerable human concern. The present study evaluates the genotoxic potential of aqueous extracts of two soils (leachates) and of bottom ash resulting from municipal solid waste ...

Review: The Importance of Lateral Flow Through Snow in Hydrological Processes Globally
Abstract The flow of liquid water through snow is a complex and poorly understood problem in snow hydrology. This paper reviews current understanding of the lateral flow of water through snow. We determined that the main physical processes producing lateral flow are: (a) hydraulic barriers at layer interfaces, (b) soil saturation overland/through‐snow ...

Young Versus Old: Does Forest Age Regulate Water and Dissolved Carbon Processes Belowground?
Abstract Forest plantations are widespread globally. Young forest plantations (hereafter young forests) differ from natural old‐growth forests (hereafter old forests) in above‐ and below‐ground structures, shaping water and carbon cycling processes. While above‐ground differences are well studied, below‐ground hydrology and biogeochemical processes ...

Confirmation of co-denitrification in grazed grassland [PDF]
peer-reviewedPasture-based livestock systems are often associated with losses of reactive forms of nitrogen (N) to the environment. Research has focused on losses to air and water due to the health, economic and environmental impacts of reactive N.

Nitrogen Cycling Under Conifer‐to‐Broadleaf Forest Conversion in Eastern England
ABSTRACT In the early 20th century, political focus on timber production in Europe led to extensive afforestation and replacement of broadleaves with often non‐native coniferous species. Recent interest in the reverse has risen due to recognition of the wider ecosystem services delivered by forests, such as water quality improvement.
