Microbiology of wetlands
Watersaturated soil and sediment ecosystems (i.e. wetlands) are ecologically as well as economically important systems due to their high productivity, their nutrient (re)cycling capacities and their prominent contribution to global greenhouse gas emissions. Being on the transition between terrestrial and – aquatic ecosystems, wetlands are buffers for terrestrial run off thereby preventing eutrophication of inland as well as coastal waters. The close proximity of oxic-anoxic conditions, often created by wetland plant roots, facilitates the simultaneous activity of aerobic as well as anaerobic microbial communities. Input of nutrients and fast recycling due to active aerobes and anaerobes ma...
Kulturpoetik des Moores
Moor hat Konjunktur. Renaturierungsprojekte, die Moore wieder in frühere Zustände zurückversetzen sollen, werden durch den Umweltschutz und die Hoffnung motiviert, durch die Wiederherstellung des CO2-Speichers Moor, dem anthropogenen Klimawandel entgegenzuwirken. Zugleich wagte die Literatur in den vergangenen Jahren zahlreiche Moorgänge. Hierbei wird einerseits an Traditionen des 18. und 19. Jahrhunderts, etwa Anette von Droste-Hülshofs „Knaben in Moor" angeknüpft, zugleich werden neue Formen des Nature Writings aber auch der Etablierung devianter literarischer Räume erprobt. Der Band vereint Beiträge unterschiedlicher Literatur- und Kulturwissenschaften, die neben Texten der Urbarmachungsbestrebungen des 18. Jahrhundert, den literarischen Moorsemantiken der Romantik und der Lyrik des späten 20. und frühen 21. Jahrhunderts auch Beispiele der südamerikanischen, russischen und belgischen Literatur versammelt. Er bietet damit erstmals eine umfassende literatur- und kulturwissenschaftliche Sondage dieses bislang kaum erforschten literarischen Feldes.
Acidic Pit Lakes
This monograph provides an international perspective on pit lakes in post-mining landscapes, including the problem of geogenic acidification. Much has been learned during the last decade through research and practical experience on how to mitigate or remediate the environmental problems of acidic pit lakes. In the first part of the book, general scientific issues are presented in 21 contributions from the fields of geo-environmental science, water chemistry, lake physics, lake modeling, and on the peculiar biological features that occur in the extreme habitats of acidic pit lakes. Another chapter provides an overview of methods currently used to remediate acidic pit lakes and treat outflowing acidic water. The second part of the book is a collection of regional surveys of pit lake problems from three European countries and Australia, and case studies of various individual representative lakes. A final case study provides an innovative approach to assessing the economic value of new pit lakes and balancing the costs and benefits, a valuable tool for decision makers.
