During the operation of poultry farms a large amount of poultry manure is accumulated. Surface wastewater from landfills for storing poultry manure can become the main source of pollution of natural waters. Thus, one of the most important problems of environmental protection is the development of effective systems for protecting aquatic ecosystems from pollution by waste water generated at landfills for storing poultry manure. The purpose of research was the analysis of water protection systems for treatment of surface wastewater from the territory of poultry farms. The authors of the article consider the problem of protection of water bodies from contamination by surface wastewater from the catchment area of poultry farms. The example of surface wastewater from the catchment area of the poultry farm “Sverdlovskaya” has shown the negative impact on water ecosystems. Our own studies of snow contamination from the catchment area of the poultry farm have shown a high content of not only organic and biogenic substances, but also heavy metals. A biotechnology of wastewater treatment using natural ion-exchange materials, followed by bioregeneration of the latter by higher aquatic vegetation, has been developed. The use of an accumulative phytofilter is an effective method of protecting water ecosystems from contamination by surface wastewater from catchment areas of poultry farms, and the design ensures not only the environmental friendliness of the technology, but also naturally fits into the landscape of the area.

Abstract. Currently, the anthropogenic disturbances to the biogeochemical cycles remain unquantified due to the poor representation of lateral fluxes of carbon and nutrients in Earth System Models (ESMs) that couple the terrestrial and ocean systems. Soil redistribution plays an important role in the transport of carbon and nutrients between terrestrial ecosystems, however, quantification of soil redistribution and its effects on the global biogeochemical cycles is missing. This study aims at developing new tools and methods to represent soil redistribution on a global scale, and contribute to the quantification of anthropogenic disturbances to the biogeochemical cycles. We present a new large-scale coarse resolution sediment budget model that is compatible with ESMs. This model can simulate spatial patterns and long-term trends in soil redistribution in floodplains and on hillslope, resulting from external forces such as climate and land use change. We applied this model on the Rhine catchment using climate and land cover data from the Max Planck Institute Earth System Model (MPI-ESM) for the last millennium (850-2005 AD). Validation is done using observed Holocene sediment storage data and observed scaling relations between sediment storage and catchment area from the Rhine catchment. We found that the model reproduces the spatial distribution of floodplain sediment storage and the scaling relationships for floodplains and hillslopes as found in observations. The exponents of the scaling relationships can be modified by changing the spatial distribution of erosion or by changing the residence time for floodplains. However, the main feature of the scaling behavior, which is that sediment storage in floodplains increases stronger with catchment area than sediment stored on hillslopes, is not changed. Based on this we argue that the scaling behavior is an emergent feature of the model and mainly dependent on the underlying topography. Additionally, we identified that land use change explains most of the temporal variability in sediment storage for the last millennium in the Rhine catchment.

In the Gemenc floodplain along the river Danube in Southern Hungary, six vegetation zones have been identified. Together with soil and geomorphological data, these vegetation zones are interpreted to form a hypothesis of succession for the Gemenc floodplain. As the Gemenc floodplain is comparable with the Dutch floodplains, from a hydrological, geomorphological and floristic point of view, the results can be used in plans for the rehabilitation of the floodplains of the river Rhine in the Netherlands.

Information/analytical research of methodical approaches to melioration facilities localization within a catchment area and their provision with water resources have been carried out. A model of multi-criteria optimization for melioration option formation during the social/economic agrarian sector development regional programs implementation and for composing the list of water/protection measures within the regional WBIUPS frameworks has been developed. Procedures of the principles formation for melioration facilities functional/technological location at the catchment to reduce labor intensity concerning possible versions of melioration facilities’ binding to water resources; sources and discharges in terms of representativeness of the options to be discussed have been presented.

The International Association of Media and Communication Research(IAMCR; http://iamcr.org), with which the “Islam and Media” and severalother working groups are affiliated, promotes “media and communication researchthroughout the world, addressing socio-political, technological, policyand cultural processes.” One of its key objectives is to “provide a forum whereacademic researchers and others involved in media and communication researchand practice can present and discuss their work, hone their critical skillsand collaborate.”The “Islam and Media” working group was originally formed to reflectupon “the communication phenomenon such as human interaction with a viewto contributing toward mutual understanding and peace with justice” and “toengage in research and organizational development efforts geared towardstrengthening the global societal structures based on personal responsibilityand mutual cooperation in social, political, and economic relations.” At thisJuly 2012 event, participants sought “to contribute to the advancement ofresearch and evaluation in the media and communication related fields froman Islamic point of view (the Tawhidi perspective).” The papers presenteddealt with the universal principles of communication in Islam and the West;Islam, communication, and sustainable development; coverage of the United States’ war in the Middle East; and how the media reports on extremism/terrorism ...
