TL;DR: A retrospective synthesis of past and current nutrient inputs, impairments by planktonic and benthic HABs and hypoxia, modelling and Best Management Practices in the Lake Erie basin demonstrates that phosphorus reduction is of primary importance, but the effects of climate, nitrogen and other factors should also be considered in the context of adaptive management.

TL;DR: In this article, a path-of-reaction and kinetic modeling of CO2-brine-mineral reactions in the Rose Run Sandstone, one of Ohio's deep saline aquifers, was conducted in order to investigate the factors that are likely to influence the capacity of this formation to trap injected CO2 as solid carbonate mineral phases.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that no-till farming results in decreases in soil erosion and decreases in suspended sediment discharges and that those eroded sediments have a radionuclide signature corresponding to the tillage practice and the depth of erosion.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a novel technique for tracing suspended sediment in a mountain stream using fallout radionuclides sorbed to sediment, which can be used to estimate the rates of erosion of the landscape.

TL;DR: Elevated arsenic concentrations were found in ground water near Canal Fulton, Ohio as discussed by the authors, and the hydrologie and chemical properties of the area were studied to determine the source of the arsenic and evaluate the possibility of a similar problem occurring elsewhere.
