Persulfate activation by biochar and iron: Effect of chloride on formation of reactive species and transformation of N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide (DEET)
This study investigated the formation of reactive species during the activation of the chemical oxidant persulfate with biochar and iron in different water types for the removal of organic contaminants. The presence of organic matter and chloride altered the reactive species formed, emphasizing that the water matrix is a critical factor for the application of this oxidation process .
The global extent and severity of operational interactions between conflicting pinnipeds and fisheries
Conservation efforts have led to the recovery of pinnipeds populations worldwide after decades of intensive hunting and culls. However, this positive development has led to conflicts with fisheries, particularly small-scale fisheries. They are almost three times more likely to come into conflict with seals, sea lions and walruses, and lose four times more of their catch than larger fisheries.
Recreational killing of wild animals can foster environmental stewardship
The authors add a new perspective to the topic of "recreational use of wild animals". The hypothesis is that an emotionally intense interaction between hunters / anglers and wild animals can create a particularly strong sense of responsibility, described as "environmental stewardship". This in turn would be an incentive for many to commit to lifelong environmental and species protection action.
Fish habitat models for a future of novel riverscapes
The authors introduce the concept of novel river landscapes, the limitations of current fish habitat models and opportunities for new models. They outline 3 priority data-driven opportunities that incorporate the novel riverscape concept: fish movement, river behavior, and drivers of novelty that all are integrated into a scale-based framework to guide the development of new models.
