The Board of Health is considering whether to participate in the Barnstable County Septic Utility Program (SUP), which would provide monitoring and sampling to evaluate the performance and operation ...

Many biotic and abiotic processes contribute to nitrous oxide (N2O) production in the biosphere, but N2O consumption in the environment has heretofore been attributed primarily to canonical ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

Rows of gray plastic film stretch across a field of soil. Leafy green strawberry plants poke out of holes in the top of the film. Agricultural plastics, such as this mulch film covering strawberry ...

A recent study published in Engineering has shed new light on the mechanisms behind the efficient nitrogen removal capabilities of pyrite-based mixotrophic denitrifying biofilters. The research, ...

Much of the nitrous oxide entering the atmosphere from the oceans could be formed by a previously unknown inorganic route. The mechanism, uncovered by researchers in Denmark and Spain, could explain ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

Scientific American is part of Springer Nature, which owns or has commercial relations with thousands of scientific publications (many of them can be found at www ...

Microorganisms with the capacity to reduce the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N2O) to harmless dinitrogen gas are receiving increased attention due to increasing N2O emissions (and our need to mitigate ...

Bioelectrochemical systems are sustainable and potential technology systems in wastewater treatment for nitrogen removal. The present study fabricated an air-cathode denitrifying microbial fuel cell ...

Bacteria capable of denitrification play a significant role in the nitrogen cycle of freshwater ecosystems. By metabolizing nitrogen compounds they e.g. counteract the eutrophication of natural waters ...

As last year’s barrage of toxic tides made clear, the bays and estuaries that surround Eastern Long Island are facing multiple challenges, from all angles. Some of those challenges, like warming and ...
