Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) imbalances from dairy farming systems (DFSs) lead to environmental problems, such as eutrophication. This study aimed quantify nutrient deficits losses DFSs with different manure management (MMSs) at the farm level levels of its sub-systems. We compared NP balances 30 farms four MMSs: applying directly on forage land, without treatment (ADL), selling or exporting (SEL), using for anaerobic digestion (ADI), discharging (DIS). were calculated based differences between in- outflows. Results showed that N DFS averaged 222 kg farm−1 yr−1 did not differ MMSs. Average P differed MMSs; highest DIS (83 yr−1), lowest SEL (−25 yr−1). Soil MMSs mostly negative, except ADL farms. Annually, all in Lembang region are estimated cause a loss ∼1061 tons ∼ 290 P, extract 8 soils. Overall, high caused by into environment. To reduce imbalances, collection on-farm use must be improved, excess needs sold crop The carrying capacity high-input high-output is determined arable apply surpluses.

Abstract Water security is at stake today. While climate changes influence water availability, urbanization and agricultural activities have led to increasing demand as well pollution, limiting safe use. We conducted a global assessment of future clean-water scarcity for 2050s by adding the pollution aspect classical quantity-induced assessments. This was done >10,000 sub-basins focusing on nitrogen in rivers integrating land-system, hydrological quality models. found that aggravates >2000 worldwide. The number with triples due In 2010, 984 are classified scarce when considering only scarcity, while 2517 affected quantity & quality-induced scarcity. even increases 3061 worst case scenario 2050. aggravation means an extra 40 million km 2 basin area 3 billion more people may potentially face Our results stress urgent need address management policies Sustainable Development Goals.

Seas are polluted with macro- (>5 mm) and microplastics (<5 mm). However, few studies account for both types when modeling water quality, thus limiting our understanding of the origin (e.g., basins) sources plastics. In this work, we model riverine microplastic exports to seas identify their main in over ten thousand basins. We estimate that rivers export approximately 0.5 million tons plastics per year worldwide. Microplastics dominant almost 40% basins Europe, North America Oceania, because sewage effluents.

Microplastics have emerged as pervasive environmental pollutants, posing significant risks to both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems worldwide. Current remediation strategies-including physical, chemical, microbial methods-are inadequate for large-scale, in situ removal of microplastics, highlighting the urgent need alternative solutions. Phytoremediation, an eco-friendly cost-effective technology, holds promise addressing these challenges, though its application microplastic pollution remains underexplored. Here we show capacity Eichhornia crassipes (water hyacinth), a fast-growing, floating plant, remove microplastics from contaminated water. Our results that within 48 h, water hyacinth achieved efficiencies 55.3 %, 69.1 68.8 % 0.5, 1, 2 μm polystyrene particles, respectively, with root adsorption identified primary mechanism. Fluorescence microscopy revealed extremely large abundant caps, featuring total surface area exceeding 150,000 mm2 per serve principal sites entrapment microplastics. Furthermore, unique "vascular ring" structure stem prevents translocation aerial tissues, safeguarding leaves potential downstream applications. This study offers first microstructural insight into mechanisms underpinning hyacinth's exceptional resilience, providing promising framework developing phytoremediation strategies mitigate ecosystems.

Abstract Reducing water scarcity requires both mitigation of the increasing pollution and adaptation to changing availability demand resources under global change.
