TL;DR: The main advantages and pitfalls of metabarcoding approaches to assess parameters such as richness, abundance, taxonomic composition and species ecological values, to be used for calculation of biotic indices are discussed.

TL;DR: The model predicted the upper limit of observed insecticide exposure measured in water bodies in five different countries reasonably well and provides a global map of hotspots for insecticide contamination guiding future freshwater management and conservation efforts.

TL;DR: The proposed process would reduce the aeration demand for nitrification in the water line of the plant, while producing algal biomass to be further valorized for energy or material recovery.

TL;DR: In this paper, a bubble-column was used to remove nitrogen in centrate from the biosolid dewatering of a municipal wastewater treatment plant whilst producing biomass for agricultural purposes, and the results showed that the removal rate was positively affected by NH4+-Nin (influent concentration) and by pH, whose increase fosters stripping, and decreased for increasing NH3-N concentrations, responsible for inhibiting nitrifying bacteria.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used quantile regression mixed models and Akaike's information criterion as an indicator of goodness to examine two different datasets, one belonging to Italy and another belonging to Finland, and to detect the limiting action of selected environmental variables.
