Eighteen research domains, each with three subtopics, linked by explained relationships. The domains are an editorial taxonomy, not performance ratings of any utility. Relationships are original synthesis. Related sources are shown for context and do not prove a relationship.

Directory of domains

The same 18 domains as a list. Works without hover or the graph.

Domain L / Destination

Other land uses

Mine rehabilitation, forestry, parks and other uses have different needs and risks.

Subtopics

  • Rehabilitation and reclamation. Examine degraded-land restoration with contaminant controls.
  • Filtration or adsorbent media. Compare adsorption performance and eventual spent-media disposal.
  • Construction and other outlets. Assess product standards and lasting pollutant containment.

Where a decision here travels

Domains reached by following the selected relationship types, by number of steps. Structural reach only; it does not show material flow or size of effect.

  • Evidence required

    Filtration or adsorbent media to Fate, mass balance and verification: Spent sorbent fate matters even if an inlet stream was cleaned.

    Question raised: What would have to be shown in L Other land uses before a claim in H Contaminant fate can be made?

    Why connected? (R26)
    Basis: Editorial systems synthesis
    Editorial systems synthesis supplied in the VRCRI relationship register. No source is registered as direct support, and none is registered as qualifying or contrary.
    What remains uncertain
    What counts as sufficient evidence is set by the relevant regulator, scheme or study design. None is specified here.
    Direct supporting evidence
    None registered.
    Qualifying or contradictory evidence
    None registered.

    Draft analysis (not reviewed)

    Written to be checked, not relied on. No source supports it yet.

    1. Relationship and direction
    Evidence required: Filtration or adsorbent media (domain L) to Fate, mass balance and verification (domain H).
    2. Proposed mechanism
    Spent media concentrates what it captures, so the fate of the spent media determines the final fate of the substance.
    3. Why it matters
    Cleaning one stream does not settle where the substance goes.
    4. What it could change
    Upstream: Media selection and loading. Downstream: Regeneration, disposal and fate claims.
    5. Source support
    None reviewed. 3 unchecked research leads are queued for review. Leads are not support.
    6. Limits and alternatives
    Fate depends on how the spent media is managed.
    7. What would settle it
    Records of spent media quantity, contaminant content and destination.

Claim status: Interpretation. This is original synthesis, not measured data or a performance rating.
