Achieving unbiased predictions of national-scale groundwater redox conditions via data oversampling and statistical learning
An important policy consideration for integrated land and water management is to understand the spatial distribution of nitrate attenuation in the groundwater system, for which…
Guidance
Monitoring total phosphorus in lakes
Phosphorus is an essential nutrient for the growth and development of plants and animals. However, elevated phosphorus concentrations in a lake can lead to eutrophication,…

Journal Article
Municipal composts reduce the transfer of Cd from soil to vegetables
Cadmium (Cd) is a non-essential trace element that accumulates in agricultural soils through the application of Cd-rich phosphate fertiliser. Vegetables can accumulate Cd to concentrations…
