- Abstract:
- ... Atmospheric nitrogen deposition affects nitrogen isotope composition (δ¹⁵N) in plants. However, both negative effect and positive effect have been reported. The effects of climate on plant δ¹⁵N have not been corrected for in previous studies, this has impeded discovery of a true effect of atmospheric N deposition on plant δ¹⁵N. To obtain a more reliable result, it is necessary to correct for the e ...

- Abstract:
- ... A detailed investigation was conducted to study heavy metal contamination in road dust from four regions of Xi'an, Northwest China. The concentrations of eight heavy metals Co, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb, Zn and V were determined by X-Ray Fluorescence. The mean concentrations of these elements were: 30.9mgkg⁻¹ Co, 145.0mgkg⁻¹ Cr, 54.7mgkg⁻¹ Cu, 510.5mgkg⁻¹ Mn, 30.8mgkg⁻¹ Ni, 124.5mgkg⁻¹ Pb, 69.6mgkg⁻¹ V a ...

- Abstract:
- ... Synthesized iron oxide nanoparticles have been proposed as an alternative to non-dispersed iron oxides for in situ environmental remediation. Their colloidal properties enable their injection into porous media, i.e. soils and aquifers, and offer a higher efficiency in removing contaminants. However, this dispersed state is also the cause of concerns over their environmental fate and toxicity, e.g. ...

- Abstract:
- ... Bisphenol A (BPA) has caused widespread concern among scholars as a result of its estrogenic toxicity. It exists mainly in natural waters, sediments, and soil, as well as sewage and wastewater sludge. Considering that BPA is a common environmental pollutant that is removed along with chemical oxygen demand (COD), nitrogen, and phosphorus in drainage treatment systems, it is important to research t ...

- Abstract:
- ... The aging of biochar by low molecular weight organic acids (LMWOAs), which are typical root-derived exudates, is not well understood. Three LMWOAs (ethanoic, malic, and citric acids) were employed to investigate their aging impacts on the biochars from furfural production residues at 300–600°C (BC300–600). The LMWOAs created abundant macropores in BC300, whereas they significantly increased the me ...

- ... Anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) is a biological process that plays an important role in reducing the CH4 emissions from a wide range of ecosystems. Arctic and sub-Arctic lakes are recognized as significant contributors to global methane (CH4) emission, since CH4 production is increasing as permafrost thaws and provides fuels for methanogenesis. Methanotrophy, including AOM, is critical to red ...

Already the unit used to report the data (e.g., μg/l, mg/kg, wt%) implies that the analytical results for each element are not free to vary independently of the other measured variables. This is often neglected in statistical analysis, where a simple log-transformation of the single variables is insufficient to put the data in ...
