Does residence time affect responses of alien species richness to environmental and spatial processes? [PDF]
, 2012 One of the most robust emerging generalisations in invasion biology is that the probability of invasion increases with the time since introduction (residence time). We analysed the spatial distribution of alien vascular plant species in a region of north-

Stability Analysis and Synthesis for 2-D Switched Systems with Random Disturbance
Mathematics, 2022 In this paper, the stability analysis and controller design of two-dimensional (2-D) switched system with random disturbances are studied. First, based on the Fornasini–Marchesini local state space model, a random discrete 2-D switched system model is ...

A novel approach for accurate quantification of lake residence time — Lake Kinneret as a case study
Water Research X, 2022 Water residence time, which is affected by increasing water demands and climate change, plays a crucial role in lakes and reservoirs since it influences many natural physical and ecological processes that eventually impact the water quality of the ...

Mean residence time of soil organic matter associated with kaolinite and smectite [PDF]
, 2003 To gain insight into the effect of clay mineralogy on the turnover of organic matter, we analysed the C-14 activity of soil organic matter associated with clay in soils dominated by kaolinite and smectite in natural savanna systems in seven countries ...

An improved model of continuous leaching systems using segregation approach [PDF]
International Journal of Mining and Geo-Engineering, 2020 In this study, a simplified dissolution model has been developed to evaluate the performance of continuous leaching reactors. The model considers continuous reduction of the surface area of particles using the distribution of their size and residence ...

A fluid-mechanics based classification scheme for surface transient storage in riverine environments: quantitatively separating surface from hyporheic transient storage [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2013 Surface transient storage (STS) and hyporheic transient storage (HTS) have functional significance in stream ecology and hydrology. Currently, tracer techniques couple STS and HTS effects on stream nutrient cycling; however, STS resides in localized ...

Application of environmental tracers for investigation of groundwater mean residence time and aquifer recharge in fault-influenced hydraulic drop alluvium aquifers [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2019 Investigating groundwater residence time and recharge sources is crucial for water resource management in the alluvium aquifers of arid basins. Environmental tracers (chlorofluorocarbons, 3H, 14C, δ2H, δ18O) and groundwater hydrochemical components are ...
