The concept of chemical speciation, related to water characteristics, boosted the understanding of the role of free-ion activities in the overall accumulation of pollutants in biota. New modeling concepts (e.g. biotic ligand models) and measuring techniques were developed. This in turn triggered widespread research addressing the quantitative role of sediment in the overall water quality, focusing on redox interfaces. For contaminant mixtures in river catchments, complex relations between (bio)availability of compounds, including nutrients, help to explain aquatic toxicity. Variation in ecological patterns and processes across environmental or spatiotemporal gradients occur, which may identify ecological factors that influence contaminant fate and effects. Empirical evidence by meta-analysis and theoretical underpinning by modelling showed relationships between population growth rates and carrying capacities, across chemicals and across species. The potentially affected fraction (PAF) of species may be related to the mean species abundance, an often-used indicator in global change studies. Knowledge gaps remain on how pollutants travel through ecological communities and which species and species-relationships are affected. Outdoor experimental systems that examine the natural environment under controlled conditions may be useful at the higher biological level to investigate the impact of stressors on a variety of species, including mutual interactions.","PeriodicalId":8125,"journal":{"name":"Aquatic Ecosystem Health & Management","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135772679","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Working with youth, empowering the old, informing the policymakers, encouraging the politicians and inspiring his colleagues and friends. Cees’ collaborative capacity made the world a better place. And, he made us all feel connected and empowered to act. His legacy is now our responsibility.Water and climate change are directly linked. We know this both intuitively and from natural disasters. The climate crisis is a water crisis. Nine out of 10 natural disasters are water related. Between 2001 and 2018, droughts, floods, landslides and storms caused over $1.700 billion US in damage worldwide according to the UN (2020), impacting over 3.4 billion people, the majority in Asia. Without water, there is no energy and no food. But too much water and ever-increasing ‘extremes’ also go hand in hand with far too little water—periods of drought align with the flow of refugees and increased conflicts. We are depleting our natural water supplies at a ruinous rate, and sea level rise is jeopardizing our cities and deltas.Cees was a true professional in the field of water— that complex mix of climate, sustainability, ecology, disasters, risk reduction, adaptation, environment, planning, cities, coasts, rivers, oceans, source to sea and more. He deeply understood the depths of that complexity. He knew how important it was not to avoid it, but to embrace and unravel it, and to use all those connections to work toward solutions. Water was his way.‘The Geography of Future Water Challenges’—developed together with the Dutch Environmental Assessment Agency and spearheaded by Willem Ligtvoet with a consortium of global scientist including Cees—states that: “Water security is related to three water-related challenges: water scarcity (too little water), water pollution (dirty water) and flood risk (too much water). In the coming decades, these challenges and their impact on people's daily lives are expected to increase due to population growth, economic development, increased agricultural production and climate change, in turn affecting water availability, sea level rise and weather patterns. In order to secure water resources, now and in the future, an understanding of the complexity of water-related challenges and the existence of possible gaps is essential as a basis for the development of sustainable strategies that can adequately reduce risks for the population, economic development, ecosystems, and water associated migration and conflicts.” (Ligtvoet, 2018).The 2020 Global Risks Report (World Economic Forum, 2020) agrees, as it lists water crises—time and again—as one of the top global risks. Water is linked to the economy, geopolitics, the environment, climate change and more. The report reiterates a painful song, played over and over again: water scarcity, which already affects a quarter of the world's population, will on","PeriodicalId":8125,"journal":{"name":"Aquatic Ecosystem Health & Management","volume":"7 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135772684","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Anthropogenic activities like damming, channel modification, water abstraction, sewage and effluent disposal, sand mining, unthoughtful exploitation of biotic resources, etc. are the major threats faced by the rivers in the country. Monitoring protocol of Indian rivers lacks an integrated approach based on judicious use of both abiotic and biotic components as well as a total lack of consideration for ecological health. Index of Biotic Integrity is a flexible multimetric index that can be modified and adapted to the various zoogeographic regions of the world. A fish-based multi-metric IBI was developed by modifying and incorporating metrics that are sensitive to the various ecological stressors faced by Indian rivers, fishes being excellent indicators of river health. The adapted IBI was validated and used to assess ecological health of two rivers—Mahanadi, and its distributary Kathajodi-Devi—flowing through central-eastern India. The study indicated that in River Mahanadi, around 25% of the freshwater river stretch was slightly impaired and the remaining 75% stretch was moderately impaired. In Kathajodi-Devi, most of the river stretches were in a moderately impaired condition, except at Italnga stretch where the river was severely impaired. The Index of Biotic Integrity scores estimated could reflect the ecological health of the rivers. The study shows that use of Index of Biotic Integrity is a useful and reliable approach to assess the health conditions of Indian aquatic resources warranting initiatives to be taken to implement and incorporate it into the country's water resource management.","PeriodicalId":8125,"journal":{"name":"Aquatic Ecosystem Health & Management","volume":"58 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138519913","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This brief perspective piece is an attempt to address that anxiety by offering some advice on how end-users might best approach these new technologies. I do not here review recent developments in environmental DNA science, but rather I explore ways in which managers and decision-makers might become more comfortable adopting environmental DNA tools-or choosing not to adopt them, should circumstances so dictate. I attempt to contextualize the central challenges associated with acceptance of environmental DNA detection by contrasting them with traditional \"catch-and-look\" approaches to biodiversity monitoring.

Without major action, the additional number of annual cancer cases is expected to rise from 4.2 million to 5.2 million by 2040. If we are to reach plateauing numbers by 2040 (as a minimum goal), this would require 0.75% annual reduction in risk and 1% reduction in risk of death. These challenges call for attack from various angles, coordinated efforts, rational strategies, initiatives throughout the cancer trajectory, activities to reduce inequities, and implementation of evidence-based measures. In order to defeat the societal challenges of cancer through innovation, Europe will need to join forces and connect the European Commission and the member states, politicians and citizens, industries and patient associations. A cancer mission should thus unite the public and patient viewpoint to the perspective of cancer professionals.
