Twenty-three unsolved problems in hydrology (UPH)–a community perspective

Günter Blöschl, +212 more
TL;DR: In this article, a community initiative to identify major unsolved scientific problems in hydrology motivated by a need for stronger harmonisation of research efforts is described. But despite the diversity of the participants (230 scientists in total), the process revealed much about community priorities and the state of our science: a preference for continuity in research questions rather than radical departures or redirections from past and current work.
Journal ArticleDOI

The use of red mud as an immobiliser for metal/metalloid-contaminated soil: A review.

TL;DR: Overall red mud amendment is likely to contribute to lowering the PTE availability in contaminated soil, suggesting the toxicity from PTEs was reduced by red mud, as well as indirect effects due to changes in soil properties.
Journal ArticleDOI

Optimising the recovery and re-use of phosphorus from wastewater effluent for sustainable fertiliser development

TL;DR: The successful demonstration of biochar materials highlights the potential for further development of P filters for wastewater treatment systems from anaerobic digestate produced and pyrolysed on-site with energy recovery.
Journal ArticleDOI

Manganese concentrations in Scottish groundwater.

TL;DR: Investigation of manganese (Mn) concentrations in groundwater in Scotland finds strong redox and pH controls and an independent relationship between Fe and Mn was observed, suggesting that Fe behaviour in groundwater may affect Mn solubility.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nutrient cycling and distribution in different-aged plantations of Chinese fir in southern China

TL;DR: In this article, the distribution in tree biomass and understorey vegetation and annual biological and geochemical cycling of total nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) were measured in young, middle-aged and mature plantations (8, 14, and 24-years old) of Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata (Lamb.) Hook.) in southern China.
