Characterization of Chlorinated Aliphatic Hydrocarbons and Environmental Variables in a Shallow Groundwater in Shanghai Using Kriging Interpolation and Multifactorial Analysis [PDF]
CAHs, as a cleaning solvent, widely contaminated shallow groundwater with the development of manufacturing in China's Yangtze River Delta. This study focused on the distribution of CAHs, and correlations between CAHs and environmental variables in a ...

Soil Chemical Response to Experimental Acidification Treatments [PDF]
One of the conclusions reached during the Congressionally mandated National Acid Precipitation Program (NAPAP) was that, compared to ozone and other stress factors, the direct effects of acidic deposition on forest health and productivity were likely to ...

Mercury Accumulation in Tree Rings: Observed Trends in Quantity and Isotopic Composition in Shenandoah National Park, Virginia [PDF]
Recent studies have shown that mercury (Hg) concentrations in tree rings have the potential to archive historical Hg exposure from local, regional, and global sources.

Contrasting nutritional acclimation of sugar maple (Acer saccharum Marsh.) and red maple (Acer rubrum L.) to increasing conifers and soil acidity as demonstrated by foliar nutrient balances [PDF]
Sugar maple (Acer saccharum Marshall, SM) is believed to be more sensitive to acidic and nutrient-poor soils associated with conifer-dominated stands than red maple (Acer rubrum L., RM).

IntroductionThe primary source of anthropogenic atmospheric mercury (Hg) emissions globally is artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM). Estimates of Hg emissions from ASGM are poorly constrained due to a lack of monitoring data and the informal ...

Wood growth in pure and mixed Quercus ilex L. forests: drought influence depends on site conditions. [PDF]
Climate response of tree-species growth may be influenced by intra- and inter-specific interactions. The different physiological strategies of stress response and resource use among species may lead to different levels of competition and/or ...

Volcanic activity signals in tree-rings at the treeline of the Popocatépetl, Mexico [PDF]
The Popocatépetl volcano resumed its eruptive activity in 1994 and is still active. The largest eruption recorded during this new stage of activity occurred in December 2000. We traced the volcanic activity signal in tree-rings from Pinus hartwegii trees

X-ray based tree ring analyses [PDF]
In this thesis, two x-ray based dendro-analyses (batch-wise microdensitometry and energy dispersive x-ray fluorescence (EDXRF)) and the conditions under which these methods could be used on the two typical boreal conifers Norway spruce (Picea abies (L ...
