Abstract As increased growth and development put pressure on freshwater systems in Arctic environments, there is a need to maintain meaningful feasible framework for monitoring water quality. A useful tool the ecological health of aquatic by means analysis inferences made from benthic invertebrates biomonitoring approach. Biomonitoring rivers streams within has been under‐represented research efforts. Here, we investigate an approach biological impairment anthropogenic land use at two with...
The growing number of satellite constellations in low Earth orbit (LEO) enhances global communications and observation, support space commerce is a high priority many governments. At the same time, proliferation satellites LEO has negative effects on astronomical observations research, preservation dark quiet sky. These reflect sunlight onto optical telescopes, their radio emission impacts observatories, jeopardising our access to essential scientific discoveries through astronomy. changing...
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are contaminants that can lead to adverse health effects in aquatic organisms, including reproductive toxicity developmental abnormalities. To assess the ecological risk of PFAS Pennsylvania stream surface water, we conducted a comprehensive analysis included both measured predicted estimates. The potential combined exposure 14 individual biota were estimated using sum exposure-activity ratios (ΣEARs) 280 streams. Additionally, machine learning...
Over time peat harvesting and human encroachment have devastated the hydrology of Wainfleet Bog. Disturbances caused by activities rendered bog ecosystem vulnerable to an influx invasive species. The European White Birch (Betula pendula) has contributed degradation disrupted allowed for development dry conditions that enabled B. pendula take over habitats were once dominated native flora. To determine whether was depressing water table through evapotranspiration, we examined levels (March...
