Research Article: Implementing water reuse is a more economical way to meet the demand without increasing supply of the original water source. As an alternative to post-treatment, membrane technology could be used, whose system would need to be analyzed in terms of its implementation and maintenance costs vis-à -vis its benefi ts.

Research Article: The results show that the electro-Fenton process with a carbon felt cathode/BDD anode is more effi cient than the combination of a carbon felt cathode/Pt anode, but even slower. TOC could be removed by 86%. A photo-electrochemical approach based on the combination of electro-Fenton with carbon felt cathode/BDD anode and UV irradiation could be a more suitable method.

Research Article: The results indicate that due to avoidance consumption of Microcystis, small cladocerans might forage in other places where Microcystis is absent. Cyanobacteria may affect small cladocerans, less and small-sized cladocerans may develop stronger tolerance against Microcystis. This may explain why dominant Daphnia is often replaced by small-sized cladocerans during cyanobacteria bloom.

Research Article: This study showed that wetting pattern parameters are affected by emitter discharge and lateral depth.Increasing the emitter discharge increases the wetting radius only for lateral placed at 0 and 10 cm deep below soil surface. As the lateral depth increases the upward movement also increases but the surface wetting area decreases.

Research Article: Increased plant species richness improves the belowground plant biomass and its N pool size and decrease substrate inorganic N concentrations in the subsurface vertical-fl ow CW. However, the increased plant species richness did not affect the biomass/N ratio.

Research Article: The results clearly show that N-hydroxybenzotriazole is an effective redox mediator for the decolorization of the dye Remazol Brilliant Blue R (RBBR). In addition, the phytotoxicity of RBBR was considerably reduced after laccase treatment. The effi ciency of P. fl orida laccase under optimized conditions is promising in the bioremediation of dye effl uents.

Research Article: The results indicate that the two-variable models including temperature and water content variables could predict well soil respiration for both types at all weather conditions. The models are useful for understanding and predicting potential changes in response to climate change.

Research Article: Eucalyptus leaves powder as a sorbent was used for thallium ions removal from aqueous solutions. Eucalyptus trees are abundant and their leaves are very low cost sorbents. The results show that the effi ciency, high qm values, of sodium polystyrene sulfonate, modifi ed sugar beet pulp and modifi ed eucalyptus leaves powder is similar.

Research Article: Restoration treatments signifi cantly reduce soil salt content and available Na content over 2 years. Moreover, soil urease and phosphatase activities increased dramatically in the restoration plots, and enzyme activities were signifi cantly correlated with soil TC and TN.

Short Communication: There is evidence that environmental factors have an important impact on the release of nutrients from biochar. The results showed that, e.g., the release of PO4

�3 , NH4 +, K+, Ca2+, and Mg2+ were

sensitive to pH and biochar to water ratio.

Review: Science-based design criteria for metallic iron (Fe0) fi lters are presented. Fe0 should be admixed to non-expansive materials in volumetric proportions not exceeding 50%. Fe0 fi lters have the potential to provide low-income and low-skilled population with safe drinking water.

Research Article: The study demonstrated that compost prepared with fi sh pond sediment performed better compared to those without. However, physico-chemical properties of fi ve different composts revealed that all samples showed adequate levels of organic carbon and correspondingly high CEC values.
