Ende April und Anfang Mai 2008 kam es in einigen Regionen in Südwestdeutschland zu Bienenvergiftungen, bei denen nach letzten Erhebungen etwa 11.500 Völker von 700 Imkern teilweise erheblich geschädigt wurden. Sofort nach Bekanntwerden der Vorfälle begann eine intensive Suche nach den Ursachen. Dabei arbeiteten das Ministerium für Ernährung und Ländlichen Raum in Baden-Württemberg (MLR) und die Behörden vor Ort mit der Imkerschaft, der Bienenuntersuchungsstelle im Julius Kühn-Institut (JKI), dem Bundesamt für Verbraucherschutz und Lebensmittelsicherheit (BVL) und der Pflanzenschutzmittel-Industrie zusammen. Schnell richtete sich der Verdacht auf Maissaatgut, das mit dem insektiziden Wirkstoff Clothianidin behandelt war, ein Verdacht, der durch die chemischen Analysen des Julius Kühn-Instituts bestätigt wurde.

Decision Support Systems for Risk-Based Management of Contaminated Sites addresses decision making in environmental risk management for contaminated sites, focusing on the potential role of decision support systems in informing the management of chemical pollutants and their effects. Considering the environmental relevance and the financial impacts of contaminated sites all over the post-industrialized countries and the complexity of decision making in environmental risk management, decision support systems can be used by decision makers in order to have a more structured analysis of a problem at hand and define possible options of intervention to solve the problem. Accordingly, the book provides an analysis of the main steps and tools for the development of decision support systems, namely: environmental risk assessment, decision analysis, spatial analysis and geographic information system, indicators and endpoints. Sections are dedicated to the review of decision support systems for contaminated land management and for inland and coastal waters management. Both include discussions of management problem formulation and of the application of specific decision support systems. This book is a valuable support for environmental risk managers and for decision makers involved in a sustainable management of contaminated sites, including contaminated lands, river basins and coastal lagoons. Furthermore, it is a basic tool for the environmental scientists who gather data and perform assessments to support decisions, developers of decision support systems, students of environmental science and members of the public who wish to understand the assessment science that supports remedial decisions.

"Molecular Environmental Soil Science at the Interfaces in the Earth's Critical Zone" presents contributions from the 1st International Symposium of Molecular Environmental Soil Science at the Interfaces in the Earth's Critical Zone held in Hangzhou, China. It introduces new ideas, findings, methods, and experience on above new and emerging subject areas. A broad range of topics are covered: the role of mineral colloids in carbon turnover and sequestration and the impact on climate change, biogeochemical interfacial reactions and dynamics of vital and toxic elements, ecotoxicology of anthropogenic organics, environmental nanoparticles and their impacts, and ecosystem health. The book will be a valuable reference for researchers in soil chemistry, environmental chemistry, mineralogy, microbiology, ecology, ecotoxicology, and physics. Jianming Xu is a Professor at the Institute of Soil and Water Resources and Environmental Science, Zhejiang University, China. Pan Ming Huang is a Professor at the Department of Soil Science, University of Saskatchewan, Canada.

Meiobenthology is the science of the tiny animals that live in huge numbers in all aquatic sediments. This fully revised and enlarged second edition emphasizes new discoveries and developments in this field. Major progress has been made in three general areas: Systematics, diversity and distribution Ecology, food webs, and energy flow Environmental aspects, including studies of anthropogenic impacts The meiobenthos of polar and tropical regions, deep-sea bottoms and hydrothermal vents are now studied in more detail. The high number of species found to survive under such extreme conditions puts them at the forefront of biodiversity studies. Molecular screening methods enable large numbers to be analyzed upon applying reasonable effort. The aim of this book is to synthesize these modern scientific achievements such that meiobenthology can play a key role in aquatic research and in assessing the health of our environment. From the reviews of the first edition: "Giere's scholarly but readable monograph on the meiobenthos will be welcomed by all aquatic benthic ecologists." Nature "Every librarian and every practicing meiobenthologist should have a copy of this book." Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology.
