Sub-daily stable water isotope dynamics of urban tree xylem water and ambient vapor

Ann-Marie Ring; Dörthe Tetzlaff; Christian Birkel; Chris Soulsby

The authors combined in situ monitoring of stable isotopes and ecohydrological monitoring in different urban vegetation in Berlin. They provide novel insights on plant physiology and hydrological functioning through high-resolution isotope data to capture sub-daily plant water uptake and internal water cycling.

A tiered complexity conceptual framework for treating water soluble, hydrophilic contaminants in green stormwater infrastructure

Stephanie Spahr; Gregory H. LeFevre; Elodie Passeport

Blue-green infrastructure is a critical tool for improving stormwater quality, but the removal of dissolved, hydrophilic contaminants remains a major challenge. The authors propose a tiered conceptual framework of progressively more complex, costly, and resource-intensive interventions to remove dissolved, hydrophilic contaminants and thus minimize risks to ecosystems and drinking water sources.

Challenges in studying microplastics in human brain

Fazel A. Monikh; Dušan Materić; Eugenia Valsami-Jones; Hans-Peter Grossart; Korinna Altmann; Rupert Holzinger; Iseult Lynch; Jessica Stubenrauch; Willie Peijnenburg

Microplastics are ubiquitous – in the environment and in the human body. However, accurately detecting these particles poses major challenges for researchers from various disciplines. The authors described the methodological difficulties in the journal and call for more standardized methods in biomonitoring.
