TL;DR: Examination of recent environmental changes, spatial patterns in observed trends, and analysis of time series suggest that DOC may be increasing in response to a combination of declining acid deposition and rising temperatures; however it is difficult to isolate mechanisms based on monitoring data alone.

TL;DR: In this paper, a four-site replicated field experiment involving both acidifying and deacidifying treatments was conducted to test the hypothesis that DOC leaching was previously suppressed by high levels of soil acidity in peat and organo-mineral soils.

TL;DR: In this paper, an appropriate ecosystems framework for soils should incorporate soil stocks (natural capital) showing their contribution to stock-flows and emergent fund-services as part of the supply chain.

TL;DR: The total nitrogen concentrations in mosses complement deposition measurements, helping to identify areas in Europe at risk from high nitrogen deposition at a high spatial resolution.

TL;DR: Monitoring enteric viruses from wastewater source to beaches and shellfish beds suggests that AdV and JCV may be suitable markers for the assessment of the spatial distribution of wastewater contamination in the environment; and pathogenic viruses can be directly monitored during and after reported outbreaks to prevent further environment-derived illnesses.
