Chronological Trends and Mercury Bioaccumulation in an Aquatic Semiarid Ecosystem under a Global Climate Change Scenario in the Northeastern Coast of Brazil [PDF]
Animals, 2021 Due to global warming, in the northeastern semiarid coastal regions of Brazil, regional and global drivers are responsible for decreasing continental runoff and increasing estuarine water residence time, which promotes a greater mobilization of ...

Radial patterns of 13 elements in the tree rings of beech trees from Mavrovo National park, FYROM [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2010 The radial patterns of 13 elements (N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Na, Mn, Zn, Cu, Pb, Cd and Co) were analyzed in the tree rings of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.). The study site was located in an 'unpolluted' beech ecosystem in Mavrovo National Park.

Monitoring air pollution close to a cement plant and in a multi-source industrial area through tree-ring analysis. [PDF]
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int, 2021 Thirty-two trace elements were examined in the tree rings of downy oak to evaluate the pollution levels close to a cement plant isolated in a rural context and an industrial area where multiple sources of air pollution are or were present.

Dendrochemistry in Public Health: A Case Study in North Carolina, USA
Forests, 2022 Dendrochemistry, the measurement of element concentrations in tree rings for the purpose of assessing temporal changes in chemical environments, was used to study an area in south-central North Carolina, USA, that has experienced higher than expected incidences of a couple human illnesses.

Laser Trimming Tree-Ring Cores for Dendrochemistry of Metals [PDF]
Tree-Ring Research, 2005 This article discusses the application of laser to trim the outer surface from tree-ring increment cores in preparation for dendrochemistry of certain metals. A source of contamination specific to dendrochemistry of metals is metal constituents, such as iron, tungsten, chromium, nickel, and cobalt, coming off tools used to collect and process cores and

Dendrochemistry of Multiple Releases of Chlorinated Solvents at a Former Industrial Site [PDF]
Environmental Science & Technology, 2012 Trees can take up and assimilate contaminants from the soil, subsurface, and groundwater. Contaminants in the transpiration stream can become bound or incorporated into the annual rings formed in trees of the temperate zones. The chemical analysis of precisely dated tree rings, called dendrochemistry, can be used to interpret past plant interactions ...

Forests, 2022 This research documents spatial and temporal patterns of effluent uptake by riparian trees through development of a new and innovative application for dendrochronology, specifically dendrochemistry. The rare-earth element (REE) gadolinium (Gd) is a known micro-pollutant in its anthropogenic form and enters streams from wastewater treatment plants ...
