New Technology Platform Could Enable More Efficient Evaluation of Chemicals and Environmental Samples

Within the UFZ thematic scope of “Chemicals in the Environment,” studies focus on gaining a better insight into the fate processes like biodegradation, transformation, and the impacts of chemicals under actual environmental conditions, and also on devising novel ideas for assessing environmental chemicals.

Researchers Identify the Most Efficient Strategy to Manage Nitrogen in Agriculture

Even a good thing can turn harmful if it is taken in excessive amounts. That is indeed true in the case of nitrogen fertilizers. Crops do not grow well without adequate nitrogen, and as a result, yields are reduced considerably.

Study Weighs the Benefits of Hydropower Developments Against Their Negative Impacts

In recent decades, although a majority of the developed countries have minimized the construction of large dams for electricity generation, developing countries, such as Brazil, have started constructing even more enormous hydropower plants.

Researchers Study and Document Trash Accumulation Along Gulf of Mexico Shorelines

Accumulation of trash, specifically plastic, in the ocean and along the shoreline is an environmental, economic, aesthetic, and human health issue that poses serious risks to coastal communities across the globe, including the Gulf of Mexico.

Studying the Effect of Climate Change on Coastal Ecosystems

When a nor’easter struck the East Coast in early January 2018, a record-breaking high tide made several streets in Boston inaccessible, and in Boston’s Seaport District, seawater rushed down Seaport Boulevard.

Changing Carbon Supply in Deep Sea is Not Well Represented in Global Climate Models

More than 2 miles below the surface of the ocean, many creatures, including fishes, worms, and microbes, of all shapes and sizes thrive. At these dark depths, these creatures depend on the transport of dead and decomposing matter from the surface or marine snow for their food.

Scientists Chart Best Course to Save California’s Native Plants from Impacts of Climate Change

In view of the IPCC warnings that humans have merely 12 years to decrease greenhouse gas emissions by almost 50% or face considerably greater effects from climate change, researchers at the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) are now planning the best route to save the native plants of California from these human threats.

EU Renewable-Energy Policy Changes Chip Away at Forestry Protections

Legislative revisions to the European Union’s Renewable Energy Directive (RED) will erode existing safeguards that prevent unsustainable exploitation of forests. The revisions also set incentives that inevitably encourage the burning of unsustainable wood biomass for heating and electricity generation.
