Furthermore, the nitrogenous self-purification capacity of Lake Taihu was studied in combined with the investigation of water flow, cyanobacteria salvages and aquatic product outputs. In the whole hydrological year, the inflow and outflow fluxes of total nitrogen (TN) were 7.0010 4 t and 4.0110 4 t, respectively. About 3.0210 4 t and 0.2010 4 t nitrogen in water body were removed by denitrification and sediment adsorption during this hydrological year, respectively, suggesting a strong nitrogen self-purification capacity of Lake Taihu. The potential denitrification is stronger in western Lake Taihu (e.g., Meiliang Bay) than that in eastern Lake Taihu (e.g., East Lake Taihu), and is stronger in summer than that in other seasons. Thus, the nitrogenous self-purification capacity plays an important role in nitrogenous transference and transformation in Lake Taihu.

The results showed that seasonal difference of self-purification of permanganate index, total nitrogen (TN), ammonium (NH 4 +-N), nitrate (NO 3 --N), total phosphorus (TP), chlorophyll (Chl-a) in small shallow lakes were remarkable. Effects of self-purification were better in

spring and winter, and were worse in summer by NH 4 +-N and NO 3 --N and in autumn by TP and Chl-a. Organic pollution was light, TN and TP pollution were seriously in four seasons. Concentrations of TN and TP brought a well condition to algae growth, and lakes were eutrification easily by the limiting factor of phosphorus. Concentrations of Chl-a were showed that lakes were eutrophic in summer or autumn and mesotrophic in winter or spring. Growth and blooms of phytoplankton impacted water quality and self-purification of lakes. Species and quantity of aquatic plants were the main factors to affect the change of pH and dissolved oxygen (DO), and loss of fertilizer and domestic wastewater were the main reasons for high nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations in lakes. Organic nitrogen was the main portion of TN by using excessive organic fertilizer in summer, NO 3 --N was the main portion in other seasons. The principal component analysis result showed that the three principal components of self-purification ability were phytoplankton factor (water temperature, pH, permanganate index and Chl-a), farm drainage factor (pH, DO and TN), nutrient factor (TN and TP). The cluster analysis result showed that the water quality of four seasons in 11 sampling sites of three lakes could be divided into two categories: first, in spring, autumn and winter; second, in summer. This was caused by the temperature changes and agricultural drainage. Water temperature and pH were used to calculate the concentrations of permanganate index, TN, TP, Chl-a by linear equations, which improved the quick prediction ability in locale.

Box 712, GR-19013, Anavyssos, Attica, Greece View references (29) Abstract In order to find the segments of Pinios River which lack the retention capacity of the BOD and nutrient input, the difference of the estimated input and output pollution loads was compared at upstream and downstream clustered areas of a total of 73 segments. Catchment areas ranged from 1 to 11,300 km2. Emissions were always higher than the actual transport, therefore retention was assumed to take place. Specific runoff, percentage of the surface water area and the calculated input of pollution loads (BOD, P, N) varied between the different Pinios River basin catchment areas. The transport to the emission load ratio was different between large and small catchments. The rate of retention among consecutive segments revealed that four lowland segments lacked in their relative retention capacity. 2009.

The results showed that on the whole, the water quality near the exits was better and more steady-going than that near the entrances, indicating that the lake still had strong self-purification ability. The coefficients of variation of the water quality indices among the 5 sampling locations decreased gradually, suggesting that the purification rates of total nitrogen, dissolved oxygen, volatile hydroxybenzene, non-ionic ammonia, and arsenic in water body reduced remarkably, and the self-purification ability of the lake was weakened. The coefficients of variation of total nitrogen and dissolved oxygen and some exogenous pollutants among various sampling locations could be used as the reference indices of self-purification ability and health status of wetland ecosystems.

Previous studies showed that both laboratory (microscale level) and outdoor cultivation (mesoscale level) were feasible, with a maximum sustainable yield of 270 g fresh wt m -2 day -1 approximately, at a biomass higher than that predicted in a logistic model, a deviation attributable to an improvement of the culture conditions during the monitoring period. At a mesoscale level, a 34-h cycle suggested that the nitrification rate on the seaweed fronds showed diel fluctuations, with rates peaking early in the morning, when ammonium uptake rates were negligible. Mean nitrification rates were similar to ammonium uptake rates, suggesting that nitrifyers outcompete G. longissima for the use of ammonium; especially when mean biofiltering efficiencies were less than 15% during the 34-h period. G. longissima thrives naturally in different earthen ponds of a fish farm in Cdiz Bay Natural Park, Southern Spain, especially in the outflowing reservoir earthen ponds, where biomass reached values up to 278 g dry wt m -2 during the spring. A field cultivation system for G. longissima (macroscale level) was designed to find the best scenario in terms of earthen pond, season or current conditions. The best cultivation method was the growth of vegetative cuttings on suspended braided nylon ropes. The highest growth rates (up to 6% day -1) and biomass (up to 10 g fresh wt cm -1 rope) were obtained in ponds receiving outflow waters, suggesting a nutrient effect. The net P 24.9 P -1 rope day -1 and was also higher on braided nylon suspended ropes placed at the outflowing reservoir earthen ponds. A similar result was found regarding net N production. Howev ( 170 -1 rope day -1) was similar in

the different earthen ponds and channels. The increase in P and N biomass suggested that G. longissima was biofiltering efficiently nutrient wastes from the fish farm. The results pointed out the high potential ability of G. longissima to biofilter waste waters from a fish farm, encouraging a large scale cultivation of this species. Future practices using this macroalgae may be implemented in local fish farms, resulting in both environmental and economic advantages. 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Because effluent-dominated and dependent water bodies have previously received limited scientific study, we reviewed select contemporary topics associated with water quality of ephemeral streams receiving effluent flows. Our findings indicate that these ecosystems present numerous challenges to aquatic scientists and water resources managers, including: 1) appropriate ecosystems or upstream conditions used reference sites in biomonitoring are difficult to locate or do not exist; 2) water quality criteria, particularly for metals, are dramatically influenced by unique site-specific stream and land use conditions; 3) effluent-dominated streams represent worse-case scenarios for evaluating and predicting aquatic responses to emerging contaminants (e.g., pharmaceuticals and personal care products); 4) low-flow and drought conditions often preclude effective biomonitoring and water quality interpretation, or skew ambient assessment results; 5) chemical-physical water quality parameters (e.g., dissolved oxygen,

conductivity, temperature) are dramatically altered by effluent and stormwater characteristics; and 6) beneficial reuse of reclaimed effluent waters potentially conflict with sustainability of ecological integrity. Subsequently, we recommend several water quality research priorities for effluentdominated water bodies. Springer 2006.

View references (50) Abstract: An integrated outdoor cultivation of two macroalgal species: Ulva rotundata (Chlorophyta) and Gracilariopsis longissima (Rhodophyta) was designed. The macroalgae were cultured in effluents from an intensive marine culture (growout phase) of gilthead seabream Sparus aurata. The biomass evolution of the algal tanks followed a logistic curve, where the approach to the maximum stocking density of seaweeds was governed by thalli self-shading, as nutrient limitation in the cultivation tank was unlikely. The maximum stocking density of the system was approximately 27.8 g U. rotundata L -1 (16.7 Kg m -2) and 11.9 g G. longissima L -1 (7.12 Kg m -2). Yield was more than 3 times higher in U. rotundata than in G. longissima. Overall, U. rotundata removed a greater percentage of phosphate (8.9%) and total dissolved inorganic nitrogen (54%) flowing into the algal tanks than G. longissima. The latter species biofiltered approximately 3.2% of phosphate and 17% of the total dissolved inorganic nitrogen input. However, mean nutrient uptake rates on wet weight basis were usually higher in G. longissima than in U. rotundata. The production of total oxidised nitrogen in the algal tanks, considered as being the nitrification rate occurring on the algal fronds by nitrifying bacteria, was less than half of the ammonium uptake by the macroalgae, suggesting that seaweeds competed efficiently for ammonia against the nitrifyers. The biofiltration during a diel cycle showed that mean phosphate biofiltration was lower than 4.5% in the two species whereas ammonium was biofiltered efficiently (up to 67%), especially in U. rotundata. The metal and heavy metal content in the algal tissue at the end of the monitoring period suggested no metal contamination of tissues so that both macroalgal species could be used in the food industry. The study reveals the value of ecological engineering techniques in reducing the dissolved nutrient content in effluents from the fish farm, with the prospect of a better management practises, based on integrated mariculture designs, being developed by the local farmers.

Lett. 8 (2013) 025015 H Keune et al E-mail: hans.keune@inbo.be Received 2 January 2013 Accepted for publication 5 April 2013 Published 9 May 2013 Online at stacks.iop.org/ERL/8/025015 Abstract Internationally, the importance of a coordinated effort to protect both biodiversity and public health is more and more recognized. These issues are often concentrated or particularly challenging in urban areas, and therefore on-going urbanization worldwide raises particular issues both for the conservation of living natural resources and for population health strategies. These challenges include signicant difculties associated with sustainable management of urban ecosystems, urban development planning, social cohesion and public health. An important element of the challenge is the need to interface between different forms of knowledge and different actors from science and policy. We illustrate this with examples from Belgium, showcasing concrete cases of humannature interaction. To better tackle these challenges, since 2011, actors in science, policy and the broader Belgian society have launched a number of initiatives to deal in a more integrated manner with combined biodiversity and public health challenges in the face of ongoing urbanization. This emerging community of practice in Belgium exemplies the importance of interfacing at different levels. (1) Bridges must be built between science and the complex biodiversity/ecosystemhuman/public healthurbanization phenomena. (2) Bridges between different professional communities and disciplines are urgently needed. (3) Closer collaboration between science and policy, and between science and societal practice is needed. Moreover, within each of these communities closer collaboration between specialized sections is needed.
