(author)Microplastics (MPs), miniscule plastic particles measuring less than 5 mm in size, have become a concern in terrestrial ecosystems, with primarily agricultural and wetland soils being the soils with highest plastic loadings. The adverse effect of MPs might lead to changes in physicochemical and biological characteristics of soil including...review 2024

Maass Morales, C.E. (author), Stigter, Tibor (author), Fraser, Christina (author), van Breukelen, B.M. (author), Jewitt, G.P.W. (author)Attention on the use of transboundary aquifers (TBAs) and their cross-border impacts is growing as countries become increasingly concerned about their long-term water security. Cross-border impacts, in groundwater quality and quantity, tend to concentrate in specific parts of TBAs, as they largely depend on the transboundary flow dynamics...review 2024

Lorist, E. (author), Nieraeth, Zoe (author)In this survey, we discuss the definition of a (quasi-)Banach function space. We advertise the original definition by Zaanen and Luxemburg, which does not have various issues introduced by other, subsequent definitions. Moreover, we prove versions of well-known basic properties of Banach function spaces in the setting of quasi-Banach function...review 2024

Blöbaum, Luisa (author), Haringa, C. (author), Grünberger, Alexander (author)Bioprocesses are scaled up for the production of large product quantities. With larger fermenter volumes, mixing becomes increasingly inefficient and environmental gradients get more prominent than in smaller scales. Environmental gradients have an impact on the microorganism's metabolism, which makes the prediction of large-scale performance...review 2023
