Testing Wastewater Treatment Plant Effluent Effects on Microbial and Detritivore Performance: a Combined Field and Laboratory Experiment
(Elsevier, 2018-10)
The amount of pollutants and nutrients entering rivers via point sources is increasing along with human population and activity. Although wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) greatly reduce pollutant loads into the environment, ...
Organic Matter Processing on Dry Riverbeds is More Reactive to Water Diversion and Pollution Than on Wet Channels
(Frontiers Media, 2022)
[EN] Rivers are severely affected by human activities and many are simultaneously impacted by multiple stressors. Water diversion for hydropower generation affects ecosystem functioning of the bypassed reaches, which can ...
Water diversion and pollution interactively shape freshwater food webs through bottom-up mechanisms
(Wiley, 2022-02)
[EN] Water diversion and pollution are two pervasive stressors in river ecosystems that often co-occur. Individual effects of both stressors on basal resources available to stream communities have been described, with ...
Tertiary wastewater treatment combined with high dilution rates fails to eliminate impacts on receiving stream invertebrate assemblages
(Elsevier, 2023-02)
he amount of wastewater processed in treatment plants is increasing following more strict environmental regulations. Treatment facilities are implementing upgrades to abate the concentrations of nutrients and contaminants ...
Food-web energy fluxes, energy transfer efficiency, and diversity respond distinctively to pollution and water diversion in rivers
(Wiley, 2024-03)
Water diversion and pollution are two pervasive stressors for river ecosystems that often co-occur. The individual effects of both stressors on river communities and energy transfer across the food webs are well described; ...
