The Sundarban, covering about one million ha in the delta of the rivers Ganga, Brahmaputra and Meghna is shared between Bangladesh (~60%) and India (~40%), and is the world’s largest coastal wetland. The area experiences a subtropical... more
In the Okavango Delta (about 28,000 km2) the number of identified species is 1,300 for plants, 71 for fish, 33 for amphibians, 64 for reptiles, 444 for birds, and 122 for mammals. The local occurrence of different species of these... more
A critical evaluation of literature values for the solubility products, K sp NBS = [Fe2+][HS−]γ Fe2+ γ HS− (H NBS + )−1, of various iron sulphide phases results in consensus values for the pKs of 2.95 ± 0.1 for amorphous ferrous sulphide,... more
The following paper examines the Nile question from an Egyptian perspective. The Nile is Egypt’s main source of water, and 96% of this water originates from outside of its territory. This explains why water is a key security issue for... more
Canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) is a multivariate method to elucidate the relationships between biological assemblages of species and their environment. The method is designed to extract synthetic environmental gradients from... more
In UK estuaries conflicts have routinely occurred between economic and conservation interests regarding shellfish such as cockles Cerastoderma edule and mussels Mytilus edulis. The harvest of these species is economically important, but... more
This paper presents the results of studies into the use of the emerging techniques of nutrient induced fluorescence transients (NIFTs) and Fourier Transform InfraRed (FTIR) spectroscopy to determine the nutrient status of microalgae. Four... more
This 10-year field data study explores the relevance of water level fluctuations in driving the shift from a free-floating plant (FFP) to a phytoplankton dominated state in a shallow floodplain lake from the Lower Paraná River. The... more
