Conventional wastewater treatment plants often struggle to manage episodic “shock loads” of emerging contaminants, particularly persistent preservatives such as methylparaben (MeP) and antimicrobial compounds such as trichlorocarbanilide (TCC). While most biodegradation studies focus on trace environmental concentrations, industrial effluents may contain substantially higher contaminant loads that challenge biological treatmen...

Adoption of Circular Economy (CE) behaviors, such as repair and sharing, remains slow, often due to high costs, inconvenience, limited rewards, or social undesirability. Accelerating the sustainability transition requires that consumers, or product users, experience these behaviors as predominantly positive. To address the lack of a comprehensive framework for understanding such experiences, this paper introduces the Product U...

Urban forests have high conservation value and provide recreational benefits. Riparian forest remnants have high ecological importance but are negatively impacted in urban areas. Subsidies (i.e., allochthonous inputs of resource and nutrient from outside the ecosystem) play important roles in this ecosystem and can be altered by anthropogenic activities leading to changes in ground arthropod communities and leaf litter decompo...

Pollinators receive considerable interest due to their fundamental role in ecosystem functioning and human well‐being. Unlike farmlands, studies of urban pollinator‐promoting interventions are scarce and have not been synthesised, hampering policy implementation. To fill this gap, we compared pollinator‐promoting interventions (treatment) with conventionally managed (control) sites regarding vegetation, floral resources, and p...
