Gentle Remediation Options (GRO) for Managing Risks and Providing Ecosystem Services at Contaminated Sites [Elektronisk resurs]
No full textSoils are a non-renewable resource and comprise a key component of the world's stock of natural capital. Due to industrialisation, urbanisation and other patterns of unsustainable development, widespread land degradation in the form of contamination, soil sealing, compaction, etc. has impaired the capacity of soils to perform their essential functions and provide humans with vital ecosystem services. Brownfields are typically urban or peri-urban sites that have been affected by the former uses of the site, are or are perceived to be contaminated, and require intervention to bring them back to beneficial use. They also constitute an important and underutilised land and soil resource to provide ecosystem services in urban areas as an element of green infrastructure through the use of nature-based solutions such as gentle remediation options (GRO). Gentle Remediation Options (GRO) are remediation measures involving plants, fungi, bacteria, and soil amendments that can be applied to manage risks at contaminated sites. Several studies and decision-support tools promote the wider range of benefits provided by GRO, including improving soil function to provide ecosystem services, but there is still scepticism regarding GRO implementation. Interviews with a small group of experts have elucidated some of the main possibilities and challenges for GRO implementation in Sweden. As a result, a risk management framework for GRO has been developed to strengthen the decision basis for GRO implementation in practice and address some of the key issues that need to be better communicated, including the various risk mitigation mechanisms, the required risk reduction for an envisioned land use, and the time perspective associated with the risk mitigation mechanisms. The framework is envisioned to be used as a tool for risk communication with stakeholders, decision-makers and regulatory agencies to identify GRO strategies for managing risks at contaminated sites and supporting phytomanagement for sustainable remediation and development. Two case studies are used to demonstrate the application of the risk management framework: Polstjärnegatan and Kolleberga
Gentle Remediation Options (GRO): A Literature Review (Part 1/2) [Elektronisk resurs]
No full textSoils are a non-renewable resource and comprise a key component of the world's stock of natural capital. Due to industrialisation, urbanisation and other patterns of unsustainable development, widespread land degradation in the form of contamination, soil sealing, compaction, etc. has impaired the capacity of soils to perform their essential functions and provide humans with vital ecosystem services. Brownfields are typically urban or peri-urban sites that have been affected by the former uses of the site, are or are perceived to be contaminated, and require intervention to bring them back to beneficial use. They also constitute an important and underutilised land and soil resource to provide ecosystem services in urban areas as an element of green infrastructure through the use of nature-based solutions such as gentle remediation options (GRO). Within the scope of the Ph.D. project " Enhancing ecosystem services by innovative remediation using gentle remediation options (ECO-GRO)", an in-depth but inexhaustive literature review has been carried out to build a theoretical understanding of GRO for the overall research project. This literature review report (part 1 of 2) will present a compilation of the main findings by beginning with A) core concepts of GRO including the background of their usage and development as well as key physiological mechanisms and processes; then B) mechanisms for the gentle remediation of organic (i.e. degradation and volatilisation) and inorganic contaminants (i.e. extraction and stabilisation) are reviewed, including the various strategies for implementation, practical aspects, key limitations, the possibilities to enhance effectiveness by combining with soil amendments and compilations of field studies demonstrating successful application. GRO mechanisms that are more specific in use like rhizofiltration and phytohydraulics are also briefly discussed as well as other remediation techniques included under the GRO umbrella such as bioremediation, mycoremediation and vermiremediation; C) the development in the field towards applying GRO to both manage risks and provide wider economic, social and environmental benefits, i.e. phytomanagement, is discussed at some length while considering its broader implications; and finally D) suitable plants for the various GRO mechanisms are discussed throughout the report but a specific section is set aside to discuss methods for selecting the most suitable plants as well as summarising the most applied plants

X-ray pulsar GRO J1008-57 as an orthogonal rotator
No full textX-ray polarimetry is a unique way to probe the geometrical configuration of highly magnetized accreting neutron stars (X-ray pulsars). GRO J1008-57 is the first transient X-ray pulsar observed at two different flux levels by the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) during its outburst in November 2022. We find the polarization properties of GRO J1008-57 to be independent of its luminosity, with the polarization degree varying between nondetection and about 15% over the pulse phase. Fitting the phase-resolved spectro-polarimetric data with the rotating vector model allowed us to estimate the pulsar inclination (130 & DEG;, which is in good agreement with the orbital inclination), the position angle (75 & DEG;) of the pulsar spin axis, and the magnetic obliquity (& SIM;74 & DEG;). This makes GRO J1008-57 the first confidently identified nearly orthogonal rotator among X-ray pulsars. We discuss our results in the context of the neutron star atmosphere models and theories of the axis alignment of accreting pulsars

Opportunity Windows and Added Value of Gentle Remediation Options for Contaminated Land Management [Elektronisk resurs]
No full textWell-functioning, healthy soils are increasingly recognized as vital to human well-being, but soil contamination impairs the capacity of soils to perform their essential functions and provide humans with ecosystem services (ES). Contaminated land poses risks to human health and the environment, which must be managed, but also constitute an important and underutilized land and soil resource for providing ES in urban areas through phytomanagement with gentle remediation options (GRO) – nature-based solutions using plants, fungi, bacteria, and soil amendments to manage risks at contaminated sites while also improving soil functionality. The overall aim of this thesis is to explore the opportunity windows and added value of using GRO for contaminated land management and develop applied knowledge and methods for practitioners to support a broader use of GRO in practice. Five studies were carried out to achieve the overall aim and specific objectives, containing both conceptual and empirical work, with a field experiment performed at the Kolleberga tree nursery. Specific contributions from the studies include: considering GRO applications for sustainable remediation and development (Paper I); developing a risk management framework for GRO (Paper II); investigating the costs and benefits and social profitability of GRO compared to conventional alternatives (Paper III); estimating time requirements for phytoextraction (Paper IV); and evaluating the effects of GRO on soil health (Paper V). Results from the studies in this Ph.D.-thesis are considered within the unifying concept of opportunity windows to explore the wider application and added value of GRO for contaminated land management and are connected to the generic workflow for contaminated land management in Sweden to facilitate communication with stakeholders and inclusion in the decision-making process. The applied knowledge and methods developed in this Ph.D.-thesis support the wider application of GRO for contaminated land management by exploring the opportunity windows for feasible use of GRO and demonstrating their added value

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
