2012 journal article

Comparison of Bacteria and Archaea communities in municipal solid waste, individual refuse components, and leachate

FEMS MICROBIOLOGY ECOLOGY, 79(2), 465–473.

By: B. Staley*, F. Reyes n & M. Barlaz n

Contributors: B. Staley*, F. Los Reyes n & M. Barlaz n

author keywords: refuse bacterial composition; T-RFLP; landfill microorganisms
MeSH headings : Archaea / classification; Archaea / genetics; Archaea / isolation & purification; Bacteria / classification; Bacteria / genetics; Bacteria / isolation & purification; Cities; Garbage; Polymorphism, Restriction Fragment Length; Refuse Disposal / methods; Waste Products / analysis; Water Pollutants, Chemical / analysis
TL;DR: Analysis of the results shows that fresh refuse is most likely not the source of methanogens in landfills, and microbial communities in the solid and leachate phases were different, indicating that both matrices must be considered when characterizing microbial diversity within a landfill.

2012 journal article

Strong influence of regional species pools on continent-wide structuring of local communities

PROCEEDINGS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY B-BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES, 279(1727), 266–274.

author keywords: regional species pool; community assembly; phylogenetics; tropical niche conservatism; diversity gradients; Formicidae
MeSH headings : Animals; Ants / physiology; Biodiversity; Climate; North America; Phylogeny; Population Dynamics; Temperature
TL;DR: It is found that the average phylogenetic relatedness of species in ant communities decreases from tropical to temperate regions, but the strength of this relationship depends on the level of ecological realism in the definition of source pools. (via Semantic Scholar)

2012 journal article

Fate and transport of phenol in a packed bed reactor containing simulated solid waste

WASTE MANAGEMENT, 32(2), 327–334.

By: J. Saquing n, D. Knappe n & M. Barlaz n

Contributors: J. Saquing n, D. Knappe n & M. Barlaz n

author keywords: Organic contaminant; Fate; Transport; Landfill; HYDRUS-1D
MeSH headings : Adsorption; Biodegradation, Environmental; Bioreactors; Chromatography, High Pressure Liquid; Computer Simulation; Models, Chemical; Phenol / chemistry; Phenol / metabolism; Refuse Disposal / methods
TL;DR: HYDRUS-1D can reasonably simulate the fate and transport of phenol in an anaerobic and fully saturated waste column in which biodegradation and sorption are the prevailing fate processes but the agreement between model predictions and column data was imperfect. (via Semantic Scholar)
