TL;DR: South Australian freshwaters from a wide variety of environments were analysed for bromide and the results correlated with both chloride and total dissolved solids (TDS) concentrations, indicating that an improved estimate of bromate could be made by reference to TDS data which is more easily and commonly obtained, and generally available extensively as historical data.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the source composition of suspended sediment using sediment tracers and an improved multivariate mixing model and found that unsealed roads contribute 20 to 60 times more sediment than the undisturbed forest and about 10 times more than the harvested areas on a per unit area basis.
Abstract: [1] Knowledge is scarce regarding the relative contributions from harvested areas and unsealed roads to sediments in forested catchments. We investigate the source composition of suspended sediment using sediment tracers and an improved multivariate mixing model. Sediment samples were collected during six rainfall events. Geochemical and radiometric tracer properties were corrected for particle size and organic content as well as conservativeness during erosion and sediment delivery. The mixing model incorporates variability of the tracer properties, using a Monte Carlo simulation technique. Mean sediment contribution from the undisturbed forest was 50–70%; harvested areas, gravel-surfaced roads, and ungravelled roads contributed 5–15%, 6–14%, and 12–25%, respectively. The unsealed roads contribute 20 to 60 times more sediment than the undisturbed forest and about 10 times more sediment than the harvested areas on a per unit area basis. Harvested areas contribute 1 to 5 times greater sediment than the undisturbed forest. These results support other studies that identify unsealed roads as important sediment sources in forested catchments.

TL;DR: The relative concept of biodiversity built into the definition of complementarity has the level of precision needed to undertake conservation planning, and specifically captures the differences between places as the authors iterate the process of place prioritization.
Abstract: Biodiversity has acquired such a general meaning that people now find it difficult to pin down a precise sense for planning and policy-making aimed at biodiversity conservation. Because biodiversity is rooted in place, the task of conserving biodiversity should target places for conservation action; and because all places contain biodiversity, but not all places can be targeted for action, places have to be prioritized. What is needed for this is a measure of the extent to which biodiversity varies from place to place. We do not need a precise measure of biodiversity to prioritize places. Relative estimates of similarity or difference can be derived using partial measures, or what have come to be called biodiversity surrogates. Biodiversity surrogates are supposed to stand in for general biodiversity in planning applications. We distinguish between true surrogates, those that might truly stand in for general biodiversity, and estimator surrogates, which have true surrogates as their target variable. For example, species richness has traditionally been the estimator surrogate for the true surrogate, species diversity. But species richness does not capture the differences in composition between places; the essence of biodiversity. Another measure, called complementarity, explicitly captures the differences between places as we iterate the process of place prioritization, starting with an initial place. The relative concept of biodiversity built into the definition of complementarity has the level of precision needed to undertake conservation planning.

TL;DR: In this article, an increase in ionic strength was found to increase the adsorption of natural organic material (NOM) onto two activated carbons at all pH values and the increase was more pronounced at high pH as the electrostatic repulsions between segments of the NOM are higher in that pH region and are effectively screened by added salt.

TL;DR: In this paper, the physicochemical properties of the catalysts were characterized by several techniques, such as XRD, SEM (EDS), TEM, and FT-IR, and the effects of catalyst loading, peroxymonosulfate concentration and reaction temperature on phenol degradation were investigated.
