Turkey's inland water ecosystem consists of 33 rivers (177.714 miles), 200 natural lakes
(906.118 ha), 159 reservoirs (342.377 ha) and 750 ponds (15.500 ha). Sedimentological …

This study examines the feasibility of catalytically pretreated biochar derived from the dried
exocarp or fruit peel of mangostene with Group I alkali metal hydroxide (KOH). The …

Though mountain lakes are generally much less influenced by human activities than other
habitats, anthropogenic threats can still alter their natural condition. A major source of global …

Alpine lakes are extreme ecosystems located in remote areas and populated by few but well-
adapted species. Because of their remote location, they are often considered pristine …

A landscape ecotoxicology approach was used to assess the spatial distribution of copper in
