Mapping wild bee diversity and flower use for an effective conservation of the Doñana biodiversity hotspot

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
We compiled the first checklist of wild bees in Doñana Protected Area, documenting 385 species, including three vulnerable and one endangered species listed in the Red List. Bee species exhibit diverse floral preferences, highlighting the need to incorporate plant–pollinator interactions and the role of plants in conservation and management strategies ...

Feasibility of CO2 storage in a saline aquifer

, 2009
The five-year Aquistore Project, running from July 2008 to July 2013, will investigate the feasibility of storing CO2 in a saline aquifer. The project is a joint collaborative research venture between governments and industry that will capture 500 tonnes/day of CO2 from the Consumers' Co-operative Refineries Limited's refinery in Regina, Saskatchewan ...

Do the biological characteristics of trout (Salmo trutta) smolts influence their spring migration timing and maiden marine sojourn duration?

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Anadromous salmonids migrate seaward to exploit feeding and growth opportunities in marine habitats, yet how smolt biological characteristics influence their marine migratory behavior remains poorly understood. This study used 9 years of trout (Salmo trutta) population monitoring data from 15,595 tagged age‐0+ parr, 1033 smolts detected ...

Policy Alternatives for the Southern Ogallala Aquifer [PDF]

Due to declining water levels in the Ogallala Aquifer, policy alternatives for extending the life of the aquifer for irrigation and other purposes are evaluated. The study concludes that blanket water conservation policies for the region are likely to be

Environmental controls on organic matter production and transport across surface-subsurface and geochemical boundaries in the Edwards aquifer, Texas, USA

Acta Carsologica, 2013
Karst aquifer phreatic zones are energy limited habitats supported by organic matter (OM) flow across physical and geochemical boundaries. Photosynthetic OM enters the Edwards Aquifer of Central Texas via streams sinking along its northeastern border ...

Disturbance legacies in arid environments shape recovery of former agricultural land

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Increasingly, arid agricultural land is being permanently taken out of irrigated production due to more frequent drought, higher temperatures, and the overconsumption of groundwater, with important ramifications for ecological recovery.

Numerical simulation and optimization of CO2 sequestration in saline aquifers

Computers & Fluids, 2012
With recent concerns on CO2 emissions from coal fired electricity generation plants; there has been major emphasis on the development of safe and economical Carbon Dioxide Capture and Sequestration (CCS) technology worldwide. Saline reservoirs are attractive geological sites for CO2 sequestration because of their huge capacity for sequestration.

Numerical simulations of the impacts of CO2-induced calcite dissolution on the permeability and elastic parameters of rocks

Meitian dizhi yu kantan
ObjectiveCO2 dissolution in water tends to induce mineral reactions, thus significantly changing the pore structure of rocks and further affecting their seepage and mechanical properties.

Conditions and timing for the precipitation of early marine diagenetic dolomite in the Triassic Dolomia Principale (northern Italy)

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Thermodynamic constraints and empirical evidence often suggest that fabric‐retentive replacement dolomites are stable carbonate minerals that preserve ancient seawater properties. This study evaluates this hypothesis by examining the Upper Triassic Dolomia Principale in Northern Italy.

Multiphase Modeling of Geologic Carbon Sequestration in Saline Aquifers

Groundwater, 2015
Abstract Geologic carbon sequestration ( GCS ) is being considered as a climate change mitigation option in many future energy scenarios. Mathematical modeling is routinely used to predict subsurface CO 2
