Increased variability of microbial communities in restored salt marshes nearly 30 years after tidal flow restoration [PDF]
We analyzed microbial diversity and community composition from four salt marsh sites that were impounded for 40–50 years and subsequently restored and four unimpounded sites in southeastern Connecticut over one growing season.

A pore tuning strategy to amplify the multi‐site MOF‐SO2 interactions is proposed to achieve an enhanced trace SO2 capture and chemiresistive sensing in highly stable isostructural DMOFs by annelating benzene rings. This work provides a facile strategy to achieve tailor‐made stable MOF materials for specific multifunctional applications.

Simultaneous ammonium and phosphate recovery and stabilization from urban sewage sludge anaerobic digestates using reactive sorbents [PDF]
The use of low-cost inorganic sorbents as a new sustainable strategy to enhance the valorization of nutrients (N-P-K), from the urban water cycle (e.g., side streams from sewage sludge anaerobic digestion), in agriculture applications is presented.

The study presents biodegradable and recyclable mixed‐matrix membranes (MMMs), hydrogels, and cryogels using luminescent nanoscale metal‐organic frameworks (nMOFs) and biopolymers. These bio‐nMOF‐MMMs combine europium‐based nMOFs as probes for the status of the materials with the biopolymers agar and gelatine and present alternatives to conventional ...

Nutrient recovery from urine: K and P recovery
K and P removal from human urine was investigated by a thermodynamic study of KMgPO4.6H2O precipitation from synthetic and human urine. In synthetic urine, the maximal achievable K and P recovery was 40.5% and 90.7% respectively.

Nutrient recovery from wastewater using electrodialysis [PDF]
The production of synthetic fertilisers from traditional sources has several issues regarding sustainability, particularly the energy intensity required for production, limited mineral resources and loss of terrestrial environment. Nutrient recovery from wastewaters is an opportunity for alternative fertiliser manufacture, largely due to the high ...

Laser‐Induced Graphene from Waste Almond Shells
Almond shells, an abundant agricultural by‐product, are repurposed to create a fully bioderived almond shell/chitosan composite (ASC) degradable in soil. ASC is converted into laser‐induced graphene (LIG) by laser scribing and proposed as a substrate for transient electronics.

Effects of fire on composition, biomass, and nutrients in oak scrub vegetation on John F. Kennedy Space Center, Florida [PDF]
Four stands of oak scrub two, four, eight, and 25 years since fire were sampled with permanent 15 m line transects. Percent cover by species was determined. Plant samples were analyzed for a variety of substances.

Resource recovery from wastewater and sludge: modelling and control challenges [PDF]
Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) have been renamed water resource recovery facilities (WRRFs). Our industry is quickly moving from an end-of-pipe environmental protection service to an economic producer of valued products for society.
