  Seagrasses are in decline worldwide, and their restoration is relatively expensive and unsuccessful compared to other coastal systems. Fertilization can improve seagrass growth in restoration but can also release nutrients and pollute the surrounding ecosystem. A slow-release fertilizer may reduce excessive nutrient discharge while still providing resources to the seagrass's rhizosphere. In this study, struvite (magnesium ammonium...

  Studies have suggested that some mangrove soils might contribute to wetland methane (CH4) production and emissions, especially when the mangroves are disturbed. CH4 emissions were measured seasonally from nine locations on two mangrove creeks on Naples Bay in southwest Florida, USA. One of the tidal creeks has been impacted in the past few decades with alteration of upstream watersheds and freshwater inflows; the other creek was...

  W artykule opisano wyniki badań w zakresie oceny efektywności pracy hy-drofitowej przydomowej oczyszczalni ścieków. W analizowanym okresie oczyszczalnia spełniała wymagania określone dla jakości ścieków oczysz-czonych, uzyskując efektywność usuwania związków organicznych w 98% dla BZT5 oraz w 93,4% dla zanieczyszczeń organicznych wyrażonych pa-rametrem ChZT. Sprawność usuwania biogenów była stosunkowo niska, przy czy mieściła się...

  This article presents qualitative and quantitative analysis of the waste produced by KGHM Polska Miedź. The waste has been analyzed according to its chemical composition and balanced in order to be reused and recycled. Special attention has been paid to mining industries producing the biggest amount of waste and ore enrichment businesses generating waste, which isn’t reused nowadays. Laboratory reseach has been conducted on floatation...
