  • Just Enough Nitrogen

    Perspectives on how to get there for regions with too much and too little nitrogen

    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This volume provides a unique collection of contributions addressing both the ‘too much’ and ‘too little’ sides of the nitrogen story. Building on analyses started at the 6th International Nitrogen Conference, Kampala, the book explores the idea of ‘just enough nitrogen’: sufficient for sustainable food production, but not so much as to lead to unsustainable pollution and climate problems. The ... Read more

  • Nitrogen Deposition, Critical Loads and Biodiversity

    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This volume brings together extended reviews and papers of new scientific research on atmospheric nitrogen deposition impacts globally. While there is a wealth of evidence on the magnitude, components and effects of nitrogen disposition on floral biodiversity in Europe and North America, there is an obvious lack of information on impacts on above- and below-ground fauna, and all impacts in other ...

  • Pharmaceuticals in the Environment

    Sources, Fate, Effects and Risks

    Edited by Klaus Kümmerer ...
    When the first green wave appeared in the mid and late 1960s, it was considered a fea sible task to solve pollution problems. The visible problems were mostly limited to point sources, and a comprehensive "end of the pipe technology" (= environmental technology) was available. It was even seriously discussed in the US that what was called "zero dis charge" could be attained by 1985. It became ... Read more

  • Urban Water Management

    Science Technology and Service Delivery

    Series Book 25 - NATO Science Series: IV
    Urban population growth dramatically alters material and energy fluxes in the affected areas, with concomitant changes in landscape, altered fluxes of water, sediment, chemicals and pathogens and increased releases of waste heat. These changes then impact on urban ecosystems, including water resources and result in their degradation. Such circumstances make the provision of water services to urban ... Read more
