Surface-groundwater interactions in intermittent rivers and ephemeral streams (IRES), waterways which do not flow year-round, are spatially temporally dynamic because of alternations between flowing, non-flowing dry hydrological states. Interactions surface groundwater often create mixing zones with distinct redox gradients, potentially driving high rates carbon nutrient cycling. Yet a complete understanding how underlying biogeochemical processes across surface-groundwater flowpaths IRES...
Climate change impacts are an increasing threat to forests and current approaches management. In 2020, Climate-smart Forestry (CSF) definition set of indicators was published. This study further developed this work by testing the through a forest manager survey across fifteen member European countries. The covered topic areas demographics, climate impacts, assessment, as well knowledge communication. Overall, managers considered their high or critical 62% found CSF clear concise; however,...
Ammonia (NH3) is a naturally occurring, highly reactive and soluble alkaline trace gas, originating from both natural anthropogenic sources. It present throughout the biosphere, yet plays complicated role in atmospheric acid–base reactions resulting formation of inorganic secondary aerosols (SIAs). While general mechanisms are recognised, factors controlling leading to SIA less explored. This review summarises current knowledge NH3 sources, emission deposition processes SIA. Brief summaries...

Air quality monitoring in Ireland is under the jurisdiction of Environmental Protection Agency compliance with Gothenburg Protocol, EU/national legislation, and National Clean Strategy. Secondary inorganic aerosols (SIAS) have been acknowledged as a key atmospheric pollutant, serious public health impacts no safe exposure threshold place to date. Ammonia (NH3) emissions are linked secondary production through reactions occurring acidic components such sulfuric, nitric, hydrochloric acid....
