An analytical framework for determining the ecological risks of wastewater discharges in river networks under climate change

Yang, S., Büttner, O., Kumar, R., Basso, S., & Borchardt, D., (2022) Earth's Future, 10 (10), e2021EF002601.

This study presents a new, analytical and generic framework for assessing the ecological risks posed by WWTP-effluents at the catchment scale. The framework combines the size-class k of WWTPs (a load-proxy) with river stream-order ω (their outflows' location). We analyzed ~3,200 WWTPs over three large catchments (Rhine, Elbe, and Weser) in Central Europe by incorporating simulated streamflow for the most extreme projected climate change scenario. WWTPs causing ecological risks in the future prevail in lower ω across almost all k. Intensified risks are evidently expected in lower ω receiving effluents of mid-k WWTPs, as climate changes. Our findings guide to prioritize WWTPs to be upgraded and further urge updates on environmental regulations. The proposed framework is transferrable to any geographical regions as well as any substances in WWTP-effluents. Thereby, it holds huge potentials to help in achieving global long-term commitments on freshwater security.


Drivers of multi-decadal nitrate regime shifts in a large European catchment

Wachholz, A., Jawitz, J.W., Büttner, O., Jomaa, S., Merz, R., Yang, S., Borchardt, D., (2022) Environ. Res. Lett.

Long-term records show changes in the magnitude and timing of the seasonal pattern of nitrate concentrations in streams, with possibly grave effects on aquatic ecosystems. Seasonal patterns of stream nutrient concentrations are determined by a combination of nutrient inputs, transport, and turnover. Over multi-decadal periods, each of these factors may change due to socio-economic factors such as consumption patterns, governance regimes, or technological control measures. We tested the hypothesis that observed multi-decadal changes in stream nitrate seasonality could be explained by changes in the relative importance of catchment nitrate sources over time. We found that the in-stream nitrate seasonality of the River Elbe changed completely from a weak seasonal pattern with peak concentrations during summer in the 1950s to a strong seasonal pattern with peak concentrations during winter in the 1990s. We link these changes to a succession of technical and political developments which influence the contribution of point and diffuse sources over time.


Becoming nose-blind - Climate change impacts on chemical communication

Roggatz, C.C., Saha, M., Blanchard, S., Schirrmacher, P., Fink, P., Verheggen, F., Hardege, J.D. (2022) Glob. Change Biol. 28

Chemical communication via infochemicals plays a pivotal role in ecological interactions, allowing organisms to sense their environment, locate predators, food, habitats, or mates. A growing number of studies suggest that climate change-associated stressors can modify these chemically mediated interactions, causing info-disruption that scales up to the ecosystem level. However, our understanding of the underlying mechanisms is scarce. This publication illustrates that climate change affects different realms in similar patterns, from molecular to ecosystem-wide levels. The importance of different stressors is assessed for terrestrial, freshwater, and marine ecosystems and a systematic approach is proposed to address knowledge gaps and cross-disciplinary research avenues.


Why wastewater treatment fails to protect stream ecosystems in Europe

Büttner, O., Jawitz, J.W., Birk, S., Borchardt, D. (2022) Water Res. 217, art. 118382

There is significant debate about why less than half of European rivers and streams are in good ecological status, despite decades of intense regulatory efforts. We focus on discharge from 26,500 European wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). We tested the hypothesis that stream ecological status degradation across Europe is related to the local intensity of wastewater discharge, with an expected stream-order (ω) dependence. We found that ecological status in streams (ω≤3) declined consistently with increasing urban wastewater discharge fraction of stream flow (UDF). We identified an ecologically critical threshold UDF = 6.5% ± 0.5. This is exceeded by more than one third of WWTPs in Europe, mostly discharging into smaller streams. New receiving water-specific strategies for wastewater management are needed to achieve good ecological status in smaller streams.


Functional multi-scale integration of agricultural nitrogen-budgets into catchment water quality modeling

Yang, X., Rode, M., Jomaa, S., Merbach, I., Tetzlaff, D., Soulsby, C., Borchardt, D. (2022) Geophys. Res. Lett.

Using agricultural field-experimental data from Bad Lauchstädt (UFZ) and the catchment mHM-Nitrate model, we present an integrated analysis that advances understanding of catchment agri-environment functional mechanisms: (1) High-surplus crops (e.g., the rapeseed) are less sensitive to fertilizer management, indicating high potentials of multi-sector benefits by reducing fertilization (i.e., reduced environmental surplus and maintained crop yield); (2) Terrestrial N exports in flashier, more chemodynamic regions are more responsive to climate variability and reduced fertilization, while the sandy lowland, more chemostatic regions exhibit enhanced soil N enrichment under prolonged droughts, which can be largely prevented under reduced fertilization scenarios. The enhanced knowledge base can further support cross-sector decision-making for sustainable solutions between the needs of agriculture and the water environment.
